THISWEEK—THIS WORLD

By Ted Friend

The Mechanical Heart invented by Chas. Lindbergh, with the aid of the

now Vichy minded Alexis Carrel, has a brand new trick. It bleeds—for thewhite race, no less! This agitation, expressed at an off-the-record con-

clave in Washington by a group of political hashees eaters, some ten daysAFTER the Nazis and their Japanese cronies declared war on the United

States, may be accepted as the new“Confusionist party line.”

Lindbergh’s blubbering is of re-cent vintage, of course. There wasno Lindbergh unhappiness whenHitler knifed the white Poles, the

white Dutch, the white English, the

whiteDanes. That was the “wave of thefuture” in the Lindbergh lexicon ofinternational morals. And when that“wave” was at its crest Lindberghwas ready to short-change the

whites by withholding the means ofdamming it up.

It isn’t difficult to see through thenew party line. If by political conni-

vance this war can be turned intoa war between races, rather than

one of principles, Hitler's neck canbe saved. To this end even the dou-ble crossing of each of the UnitedNations would not be too much of a

~ price. Hang the English, who single-‘handed saved the Atlantic and west--ern Europe for the democracies!

- Hang the Russians, who have maul-

ed the Nazi octopus beyond recog-nition and have glued down a halfmillion Japanese in Siberia into thebargain! Hang the Chinese, who for

ten years have been fighting thewhite race's chief enemy, Japan!Hang anyone, double-cross anyone,

betray anyone—so long as Hitler'sneck is saved!The Nazi be-medaled breast of

Chas, Lindbergh bleeds!* * *

A Month before Gen. Von Brau-chitsch “resigned” from the com-

mand of the German forces he saidto a high officer of a satellite na-

tion, ‘Don’t ask me what the Fue-hrer’s plans are, I don’t know them

either in detail or in general. I sim-ply get orders to be executed with-out knowledge of the general strat-

egy behind them.”That was a tongue-in-cheek state-

ment.There was more behind von Brau-

chitsch’s resignation than dissatis-faction with playing stooge to ama-teur genius Hitler. Evidence is thatso-called military conspiracy is

brewing which has as its objective~ the saving of what it can out ofthe eventual wreckage, Rats desert

cia sinking ship and generals do notlike to be caught with their medals ;down when the day of retributioncomes.German morale is bad—witness

the new machine gun emplacementsin Berlin to be used if the populacegets out of hand. German produc-

‘ tion is in bad shape—witness theorder to turn over all warm cloth-ing to the army. , German military

prestige is damaged—witnesse theincreased guerrilla activity in Yugo-

Slavia, Greece, Poland and Norway.German soldiers are grumbling—witness Gestapo Chief Himmler’s in-‘stallation at General Headquarters.

It is in the cards for a fraudulentpalace revolt to be staged soon bythe junker generals who, ousting

Hitler and a few other hoodlums,will play for “negotiated” peace. Ifthe United Nations fall for the man-euver, which is unlikely, it will save

the military machine, which is allthe junkers care about.

Unfortuantely for them the Ger-man generals are a known part andparcel of the conspiracy whichsetout to destroy the free peoples ofthe world. From the beginning Hit-ler has been their front-man and pa-

tron saint. To give the German mil-itary obligarchyany opportunity tolick its wounds, gather its strength,and then make another assault onmankind would be suicidal and playinto the hands of the announcedGerman plan to conquer the worldin the “modern three Punic wars.”Not alone must the German mili-

tary be wiped out for good but aprocess of education in democracymust be invoked so that the Germanmind is divorced from the ever re-

curring impulse to enslave or de-stroy mankind on one pretext or

another.* * *

One thing which Franco's “glor-

Norwegians or the white

>

ious Falange” has accomplished forSpain is to put it on a fish diet! If it

were not for the fish which aboundin Spanish waters, that countrywould now be in the throes of out-right famine.As it is, Spain is slowly starving.

There has been no meat for sixmonths. Crops of grain and vege-tables have been requisitioned in en-

tirety by the Germans and Italiansin payment of Franco war obliga-tions.

In addition to a fish diet, Franco

can point to the following Falangist‘achievements: The re-enthronement

of the Inquisition—with thousandsbrutally executed for political opin-ions; the exile of the Spanish in-

tellectuals; the re-concentration ofthe land in the hands of the few—fewer than ever; rule by Junta,

with the government and its reve-nues in the hands of 21,000 army

officers—a parasite staff 30 timesgreater than the size its armed forc-es justify; the destruction of all free

peasant and workmen's organiza-tions and 2,250,000 dead—the toll in

the Falangist strangling of theSpanish republic,

Nutrition

Lack of balanced diet causes mal-nutrition and lowers resistance todisease. Nutrition is an economic,

agricultural, industrial, commercial

and educational problem. The prin-

cipal causes of malnutrition are fi-nancial inabilitity to buy food foran adequate diet and a lack of

knowledge of the basic principals ofnutrition. Family diets can be im-proved by teaching others how tobuy foods economically. Caution

should be used in the use of foodproducts that are exploited commer-

cially,

. The nutritive value of cannedfoods compares favorably with freshfoods. Canned foods are considerablyless liable than ordinary foods tobe a source of food poisoning. Inmodern canning the preservation of

vitamins is given practical consider-

ation and in general, they are notinferior to the same foods in vita-min content after ordinary homecooking. x

Vitamin Ahas been isolated in

chemically pure state. It is relatedto the carotenoids that are widelydistributed in plant tissues. VitaminA is a constitutent of visual purple,a pigment found in the retina of theeye. Night blindness is caused by adeficiency in this vitamin, Milk, but-

ter, liver, eggs and fresh, green veg-etables are good sources of Vitamin

A. The individual requirement of

various vitamins varies each day,

depending on activity, environment

and physiologic condition. Thequantity needed for normal nutrition

isin excess of the normal protective

quantity,

Nutritional disease arises fromfaulty diet and from defective ab-sorption and utilization of various |elements in the food. The adminis-tration of vitamin preparations is

not sufficient for the cure of any de-ficiency disease, and is not a ‘sub-stitute for a good general diet.

Whole wheat bread is more nu-

tritious than white bread. In theproduction of white flour most ofthe mineral and vitamin content of

the wheat is removed. Polished rice

is likewise deficient. In the processof rice milling the external layersare completely removed. Manufact-

urers of food products should give

more attention to retaining the pro-tective elements of natural foods in-

stead of adding vitamins to foods

for commercial purposes and at

more expense to the consumer.

JUST A TALKIN

By Javie Riche

I cherish the ring of the blade on the ice,I'm overly fond of my hockey,

I think it is fitting and utterly niceTo bet on a horse and a jockey

The basketball game is a contest of skill

For tosser and jumper and balker

And football I find has excitement and thrill,

Much merit I credit to soccer,

But when cold shuts me inThere's a sport that can win

My ardor and favor; don’t doubt it.

It’s to start the New YearWith a bunch in good cheer

And a topic—and just talk about it.

The thud of a glove in the prize-ring gives zest

To living. I'm faithful in fanning

For baseball when warmth is conducive to restAnd swimming I take with my tanning.

The links get a play when I'm prone to a walk

But oh, when the winter comes trippingThe best of all sports is to gather and talk

With something for supping and sipping;For it’s then that the names

And the records of games

Of all that is worth an endeavor

Can beseen with an eye

For the wherefore and why

And reasons for anything clever.

All praise to the amateurs. ‘Here's how to them’,

I favor their high-minded motive;

Professionals, too, have their courage, a gem

Of honor to which I am votive

But give the league of the bellicose stove,

The hearth or the gilt radiator,

It’s there you find prowess unequalled, by Jove,

In boasts of each eager narrator.

Here's a toast to the days

With the back-log ablaze,

A beaker of prime inspiration!Let us all drink it down

To the talk of the town:Thetalk without proof or foundation.

A Prayer For Peace

We petition Thee, O God for peace

That nations from this turmoil may cease.That you may some how touch the cruel mind

Of those who struggle on through strife so blind

Oh God, may we have peace ?

Let our unceasing earnest prayer

Be that as an undaunted nation we bearOur portion of these dark and desperate fights

That down trodden nations may gain their rights.

Most gracious God bless us with Thy peace.

We pray for the nations struck by fear,

And those lusting for the lives we hold so dear.

But may our service to all mankind,

Be with Christian fortitude of mind.Oh God, we humbly beseech Thee for world’s peace.

‘We pray that nations be taught to conserve

Their resources and their efforts to better serve

The human needs. Which doth give the nobler deeds—

The armaments, or raising the level of human needs.

Oh God, help the nations to want peace.

Oh, hear our prayer, dear Saviour of this war torn land,

And give us grace and courage to withstandThis bitter strife until common sense and justice holds the sway

To rule God’s creation in a peaceful and righteous way.

Oh Most Supreme God, grant us this peace.

The above poem was written at the request of the Pro-gram Committee of the Dallas Township High School

who wanted a poem on peace to be read at the Janu-

ary meeting of the Back Mountain Teachers’ Educa-

tional Association, As it was a rather difficult task tofind such a poem, Estella Goldsmith wrote the one

above, appropriate for the occasion and fitting the

present crisis in this nation wide confBt.

They'll Know Us ThenI am sending The Post the follow- |.

ing poem which a group of the fel-lows in my barracks made up.Mostly it was the work of one sol-dier. The rest of us just gave it thefinishing touches. I thought you

might like to use it sometime.Donald Dunn,

Air Corps TechnicalSchool,Keesler Field, Miss.

Why do they scorn and sneer at us?

Why do they shun us so?Can’t they believe we're human tooOr don’t they care to know ?

They seem to think we're low andcheap

Or a symbol of disgrace,They laugh and smile and turn awayThey hate a soldier’s face,

“God Bless America” yes they'll yell,“And save our land of the free”.But speak, they won’t unless we

comeTo them on bended knee.Between us lies a barricaded wallOf money, wealth and fameAnd they'll not let us scale the

heights “"Till we bear a titled name. /

But can’t they know that under-neath

This Khaki that we wear,There are longing hopes and clean

desiresAnd human hearts that beat.Hearts that long for kindly hands,Hearts that are far from home.

Instead they thrust our hands awayAnd we are left alone.

But when the shells and burstingbombs

Keep timeto the rifle cracks;

Then they will know us, yes, they

will hideBehind our Khaki backs.

They'll know us then, they'll loveus too

We'll be their hero men.And around our heads they’ll place

a crownIf we come back again.

They'll toast us high, they'll pointwith pride

To the unknown soldier’s tomb.They'll swell their chests and say

“We won”

At a price that’s paid by whom?

Dear God, why must it be this way ?

Is war the only endThat love and friendship must attainTo join our fellow men?

By a Keesler Field soldier.

Income TaxSeven Timely ArticlesTo Help You PrepareYour Income TaxFederal Income Tax No. 8

The Revenue Act of 1941 providesa simplified method of computing in-come tax in the case of individualswhose gross incomes is derivedwholly from salary, wages or othercompensation for personal services,

dividends, interest, rent, annuities,

or royalties, and does not exceed$3,000. A new Form 1040A has beenprovided for taxpayers who are en-titled to and elect to use such meth-od. A table on the reverse side ofthis Form shows the amount of taxon increasing amounts of gross in-come after the proper allowance of

$400 for each dependent, if any.The tax under the simplified

method is the same for each $25.00block of gross income andthe taxpayer need only ascertain in

which block his gross income (lessallowance for dependents) falls to

determine his tax, A flat reductionof 10 percent has been made in ar-

riving at the amount of tax shownin the table for deductions such ascharitable contributions and taxes

paid, so that the taxpayer who usesthis method does not list these but

gets an automatic deduction of 10percent.

1gup a little and fathers were tryingto read the paper or get the lateswar news on the radio. it

Outside, the first bell was Takiafor church. Suddenly,as if the bell‘had been a signal, the streets lead-ing to the church were filled withpeople. Cars began arriving. Doors!were slammed. Entire families weremaking their way to thea

‘door. It was early, Church didn’tbe-

gin until eleven! Inside the church :there was more than the usualshuf-fling of feet, and the quiet whisper-ings of the few who always arriveearly, The church was crowded fi‘teen minutes before it was timefor‘the services to begin. Up atthe al-tar there was a small group of ohpeople. Two babies. were being bap-tized. Above the rector’s voice oneof the babies was crying as if.osheart was about to break.The people continued coming!:

Chairs were put in the aisles, Rows!of people were standing in the rearlooking for some place to sit down.As the last bell rang, and the sweetsolemn notes of the first hymn rangout, the church was filled to over-flowing.

People had come from: far andnear on this cold snowy morning ofJanuary 11, 1942 to pay tribute tothe rector who had been called as achaplain in the U. S. Army. Therewas deep reverence and greatsol-emnity in the service. When it cametime for the rector to speaktherewas more than the usual hush, Itwas a very simple address. Noflowery phrases, no meaninglesswords, no attempt at great oratory, i

just true, quiet, strongwords.Therector was just a humble manaspeaking to his people. He wasayoung man but a man of great truthand simplicity. As he spoke everyeye was glued on his face. Many anunnoticed tear was shed as thepeople realized they were losing thisman who had become such an im-portant member of their church and |community. He asked the people tocarry on, to help keep alive thereal spirit of Christianity, This, dearreaders, is a bit of America. If you

had been a member of that con-gregation, as I was, you would havefelt, just as I did that America isworth fighting for if such men fillthe pulpits of our churches!

they may file a singlepoint returnon that Form if their combined in-come is from the prescribed sourc-es and does not exceed $3,000.The use of the simplified method
