J., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1943 PRICE THREE CENTS Interruption Of Bob Hope Show By Jap Bombing Main Complaint• Of Avenel Youth Serving In South Pacific AVBNEL—The only complaint that Earl La Tourette, S. F. 2/c U. S. N. Construction Battalion has is that the Japs come over his station somewhere in the South Pacific in ihe middle of Bob Hope's program. Earl, who is better known in the Township as "Red" is the son of Mrs. John Gardner, of this place aind the husband of the former Miss Ilona Gasper, of Perth Amboy. "Red" made his complaint in an interesting letter to a Sewaren resident who wishes to share it with his friends. Discussing bat- tles with the Japs, "Red" said that the -boys are carefree but "of course there" is tension—anyone who says he isn't a little bit afraid is a d—i—liar." The letter in part reads as follows; "I don't think it's going to last much longer over here 1 the way things are going. They are no match for our men- or machines and are NOT as super human as many publications have painted them.. They've tried their d—est to bomb us out of our present location but we made it so hot for -them whenever they came over that lately they have been ^rather reluctant about bothering us. I've been on anti-aircraft guns and three inch guns ever since I left California. I had a complete course in commando tactics and attended many different gunnery schools. Every ship I've been on, I've been assigned to some gun and here where I am now, I'm on one. I've had plenty of opportu- nity to use' one too. I never thought so many things could ever happen to one person in a year's time as has happened to me. "One thing that gives us an edge on our enemies is the care- free, d'on't-give-a-d attitude of our boys. Remember how we used to talk about that when we worked together? No matter how tough the going gets, someone always has a wise crack to make and everyone manages to keep smil- ing. Even while we are in our gun pit and the drone of Jap ] planes are overhead, we joke and shoot the breeze. Of course there is tension—anyone who says he isn't a little bit afraid is a d—— liar. Then when they open the bombay doors and the whistle of their bonibs are. heard on the way down and the explosion—a few seconds seem, like hours. But as soon as orders are given over the phone to fire and my hand squeezes that release, all tension is gone— we are then ready to give them what they didn't come over after. Boy, it's a pretty sight to watch the tracers streaking through the air looking for their target. : "Everything isn't blood and thunder though, we manage to (Continued on Page 2) New Methods Developed By Avenel Plant Save Vast Pile Of Critical War Material Security Steel Equip- ment Engaged 100% Fot National Needs AVBN'E'L—Introduction of new methods developed by its own en- gineers has permitted the Security Steel .Equipment Corporation to save vast quantities of steel and other critical materials needed in the war. Just completing a year of 100 per cent work in th& war effort, this Township plant is now en- gaged exclusively in the manufac- ture of equipment for combatant and steel navy-going vessels, radio panels and -cabinets. It has also supplied the army with -great num- bers of portable work benches for motorized transports. •Conversion of this peace-time industry to one which is daily fill- ing a larger and larger place in the needs of a nation at war has been all the more impressive because of the changes which have been nec- essary both in method and ma- terial. Vast machinery, the exist- ence of which was a distinct sur- prise to- this reporter and which TB Seal Drive Heads Named W-OOlDBlMDiGE—Chairmen for the Christmas Seal Drive spon- sored iby the Middlesex County Tuberculosis and Health League, were announced as follows: Woodbridgc, Fred P. Bunten- bach; Colonia and Avenel, Oscar Wilkerson; Fords, Mrs. Gilbert O'Neil; Port Reading, Martin Braun. Mrs. John J. Quinn stated this year chairmen "in all the large communities have accepted a new responsibility. They are not only organizing the publicity -work of the Seal Sale but will receive the mail and take entire charge of banking and auditing the Christ- mas Seal Receipts." Mrs. Quinn explained this plan iwill afford an immense saving to the League.

Makes Places For Women Modified methods of construc- tion, which were achieved after painstaking research and experi- ment, were so successful as to meet the exacting demands of mili- tary authorities. Further, they permitted the release of critical war material and. so lightened the "weight of the products as to make possible their handling by women employes. As a result, many wo- men have been employed and the present number is to 'be augment- ed considerably. . ("Continued on page 2) Wives Have War. Jobs, Too Leave Retirement To Take Places As Teachers In Local School System Left By Husbands In Service $ ———————— WOODBRIDGE Until "Johnny Comes Marching Home Again" the 'womenfolks are taking charge not only as .heads of the household, or as welders in defense plants, but in the school system as well. The Woodbridge Public School system was particularly hard-hit when members of the teaching staff enlisted or were drafted. Something had to be done to secure additional teach- ers, but at the same time the jobs, of those in service had to be safeguarded. An answer to the problem was reached when a number of • servicemen's Wives offered to teach for the duration. There is Mrs. Lincoln- Tamboer, whose husband, a Woodbridge High School teacher, is now in the Navy. Then there is Mrs. Aaron Pargot -whose husband, too, is in the Navy—in the dental corps. Mrs. Ruth Stern Quint, a former substitute in the local school system and whose husband is an officer in the Army, has taken a steady "post for the duration. Mrs, Mary D. Dunigan, •whose husband, Berton Dunigan is an ensign in the Navy, return- ed to teaching at the beginning of the fall term to help out. Others -who have husbands in the service and who are teaching for the duration are Lillian Witovsky Hruska, Mary Van Syckle Kuzma, and Mary Dettmer. Three former teachers who have consented to fill Vacancies are Margery Fullerton Lockie, Helen Dockstader Lauritzen and Grace Voorhees Brown. Two others, long-time residents of Woodbridge, who taught in other school systems, areMrs. Charlotte Crompton and Mrs. Emily M. Kinsey. Relief Rolls . Ceiling Fixed Show Decline On Egg Prices WO;OJDIB!RIDGIE Woodbridge Township had but SO cases, includ- ing 12-5 persons, on relief during August, Charles R. Erdman, Jr., director of the Municipal Aid Administration reports. Commit- ments totalled $2,28-6. In the eight-month period of January through August commit- ments were $19,874 as compared with $35,8128 during the same., pe- riod in 1942, or a decrease of 44.5 per cent. * Mr. .Erdman states that only one out of every '3'35 residents of New Jersey is on relief. "When it is remembered," he said," that the State-wide average was once one in every seven— and in some localities even one out of every four—the present load shows the unfairness of sneering at relief recipients as a group who are unwilling to work. The amaz- ing shrinkage in the relief rolls proves that this group is no differ- ent from other Americans in their desire to support themselves through their own efforts. Not one in a thousand' will refuse to work if able to do so and work is available."

All the weapons in- 1 eluding the best pre-war fly-swat- ters and gallons of insecticides have to date, proved worthless. Just where the pests came (from is not definitely known but it has been suggested that they are breeding in the soggy feed left ic the ruins of the Klein Warehouse fire on Main Street. Credence is given that theory by the fact 'the flies are particularly thick in that vicinity. The-first few days customers at the movies were bothered so much by the flies, which seem to have developed a malicious sting, that they had to leave. But that situ- ation has been brought under con- trol by the management through the use of insecticides.

There's Only Week Left To Mail Gifts Over- seas To Servicemen W O O D B R I D G E — , Only a week remains in which to send Christmas gifts to the boys overseas. Postmaster W. Guy Weaver stated that although hundreds of packages have been handled for Christmas mail overseas, "the amount is not what it should be." "As in the ease of every Christmas the bigrush will prob- ably take place October 14 and 15, the last two days that pack- ages can be sent overseas with- out a written request from the soldier or sailor himself," Mr. Weaver said. He pointed out that it would be a great conve- nience to o the postal staff if par- ents and friends of men and women in the armed forces would do their mailing early. The war has affected the post office staff the. same as all other agencies, the postmastei" ex- plained. Only a small portion can be considered veterans. The rest are new and part-time work- ers who are doing a creditable job. The regulations provide that packages may not be more, than five pounds in weight when wrapped. They may not meas- ure more than 15 inches, in length. They must be marked "Christmas Gift' Parcel" and must be fully prepaid to the Port of .Embarkation Post Office in care of which the packages are being addressed. Only one parcel may be sent to the same person or concern for the same address during any one week. r Colonia Residents Seek Light And Road Repairs A petition from residents of Carolyn Street and Carvour Avenue, Colonia, re- questing the installation of a street light and the repair of the roar! beds of those streets, was received by the Township Committee Men- day.

WOODBRIDGE James 'S.Wight, ehairmait of the Wocd- bridge Township War Fimd Com- mittee, announced today, that the campaign w"ould open here next Friday. . . . A quota of $25,000, more than twice the amount raised for the USO here last year, has been se-. for the Township. Mr. Wight said that the com- mittee would be completed and all key positions (filled by the early part of next week but there is a great need for volunteers to help raise the exceptionally large quota. Those, interested in offer- ing their services are asked to register at the campaign headquar- ters, 284 Amboy Avenue, and a district will be assigned to them. The chairman declared that the plan which combines many appeals for funds in one is designed to save the time of volunteer work- ers and of donors. Mr. Wight em- phasized the ifact that the .estab- lished home-front agencies are now linked through the state and national War Fund organizations with agencies serving needs on the military and allied fronts. The local campaign, he continued, is part of the nation-wide effort to raise money for. the UiSO and United .Seaman's Service among 17 war relief agencies and the estab- lished welfare services on the home front. Division of Funds Mr. WigM further explained that the USO which provides .com- forts for men and women in the armed services would receive ap- proximately 60 per cent of War Fund contributions. "Almost- e v e r y Woodbridge Township home through relatives in the armed services knows what UiSO means to our own men and women in uniform," he said. "Many Township boys are mer- chant seamen who have been help- ed by United Seaman's (Service, another War Fund agency. .Still others are behind barbed-wire in prison camps.

Interruption Of Bob Hope Show By Jap Bombing MainComplaint• Of Avenel Youth Serving In South Pacific

AVBNEL—The only complaintthat Earl La Tourette, S. F. 2/cU. S. N. Construction Battalionhas is that the Japs come over hisstation somewhere in the SouthPacific in ihe middle of Bob Hope'sprogram.

Earl, who is better known inthe Township as "Red" is the sonof Mrs. John Gardner, of thisplace aind the husband of theformer Miss Ilona Gasper, of PerthAmboy.

"Red" made his complaint inan interesting letter to a Sewarenresident who wishes to share itwith his friends. Discussing bat-tles with the Japs, "Red" said thatthe -boys are carefree but "ofcourse there" is tension—anyone

who says he isn't a little bit afraidis a d—i—liar."

The letter in part reads asfollows;

"I don't think it's going to lastmuch longer over here1 the waythings are going. They are nomatch for our men- or machinesand are NOT as super human asmany publications have paintedthem.. They've tried their d—estto bomb us out of our presentlocation but we made it so hotfor -them whenever they came overthat lately they have been ^ratherreluctant about bothering us. I'vebeen on anti-aircraft guns andthree inch guns ever since I leftCalifornia. I had a completecourse in commando tactics and

attended many different gunneryschools. Every ship I've been on,I've been assigned to some gunand here where I am now, I'm onone. I've had plenty of opportu-

nity to use' one too. I neverthought so many things could everhappen to one person in a year'stime as has happened to me.

"One thing that gives us anedge on our enemies is the care-free, d'on't-give-a-d attitude ofour boys. Remember how we usedto talk about that when we workedtogether? No matter how toughthe going gets, someone alwayshas a wise crack to make andeveryone manages to keep smil-ing. Even while we are in ourgun pit and the drone of Jap

Wives Have War. Jobs, TooLeave Retirement To Take Places As Teachers InLocal School System Left By Husbands In Service

$ ————————• WOODBRIDGE Until "Johnny Comes Marching Home

Again" the 'womenfolks are taking charge not only as .headsof the household, or as welders in defense plants, but in theschool system as well.

The Woodbridge Public School system was particularlyhard-hit when members of the teaching staff enlisted or weredrafted. Something had to be done to secure additional teach-ers, but at the same time the jobs, of those in service had to besafeguarded.

An answer to the problem was reached when a number of •servicemen's Wives offered to teach for the duration. There isMrs. Lincoln- Tamboer, whose husband, a Woodbridge HighSchool teacher, is now in the Navy. Then there is Mrs. AaronPargot -whose husband, too, is in the Navy—in the dental corps.

Mrs. Ruth Stern Quint, a former substitute in the localschool system and whose husband is an officer in the Army, hastaken a steady "post for the duration. Mrs, Mary D. Dunigan,•whose husband, Berton Dunigan is an ensign in the Navy, return-ed to teaching at the beginning of the fall term to help out.Others -who have husbands in the service and who are teachingfor the duration are Lillian Witovsky Hruska, Mary Van SyckleKuzma, and Mary Dettmer.

Three former teachers who have consented to fill Vacanciesare Margery Fullerton Lockie, Helen Dockstader Lauritzen andGrace Voorhees Brown. Two others, long-time residents ofWoodbridge, who taught in other school systems, are Mrs.Charlotte Crompton and Mrs. Emily M. Kinsey.

Relief Rolls . Ceiling FixedShow Decline On Egg Prices

WO;OJDIB!RIDGIE — WoodbridgeTownship had but SO cases, includ-ing 12-5 persons, on relief duringAugust, Charles R. Erdman, Jr.,director of the Municipal AidAdministration reports. Commit-ments totalled $2,28-6.

In the eight-month period ofJanuary through August commit-ments were $19,874 as comparedwith $35,8128 during the same., pe-riod in 1942, or a decrease of 44.5per cent. *

Mr. .Erdman states that only oneout of every '3'35 residents of NewJersey is on relief.

"When it is remembered," hesaid," that the State-wide averagewas once one in every seven—and in some localities even one outof every four—the present loadshows the unfairness of sneeringat relief recipients as a group whoare unwilling to work. The amaz-ing shrinkage in the relief rollsproves that this group is no differ-ent from other Americans in theirdesire to support themselvesthrough their own efforts. Notone in a thousand' will refuse towork if able to do so and work isavailable."

Pictured above is the plant of the Security Steel EquipmentCorporation in Avenel %vhere many items necessary in the prose-cution of the war are now being manufactured. New methodsdeveloped by the company have saved ton upon ton of criticalwar material.

New Methods(Continued from Page 1)

The plant, which covers morethan 35:0,000 square feet, is bothinteresting and surprising. Archi-tecturally it is attractive and func-tional at the same time, havingbeen planned so the'work can pro-gress in a direct, production linefrom start to finish. High ceilingsand high windows, plus modernventilating and heating systemsgive the entire factory the ulti-mate in pleasant working condi-tions.

The Avenel plant-was erected in19>16 and the buildings and loca-tion cover 19 acres. Prior to th Jwar, steel office furniture wasmanufactured exclusively and fromthe date of the attack on PearlHarbor to September,' 1942 thecompany supplied military andgovernment needs both at homeand at newly established bases inTrinidad, Bermuda and the Ba-hamas.

Effort

juipmentAvenel, New Jersey

Mrs. Palazza k the mother of 3 tots aged 2 to 5 and has worked atthe Security Steel Equipment Corporation for more than a year.

"I don't rate a medal for that," she says. "This is war, a hate-ful, frightening war—a war in which everyone has a job if he or she willonly see it that way. It's a war that too many of us are wasting a lot ofprecious time talking and worrying about, but are letting valuable timepass without accomplishing much toward ending it.

"Here, at Security Steel, we're up to our'necks in the war effort.We're in it 100 per cent. We all know it and we take pride that we havebeen able to share the task of turning a peace-time industry into a source ofgoods vital to the success of the United Nations. Furniture and equipmentfor Uncle Sam's ships, radio panels and cabinets, much-needed equipment ofmany kinds for all our armed services—that's what Security Steel is doing.

"The best part of it here, is that a whole lot of the work to begonecan be done by women. There are hundreds of women, mothers like my-self, Vho can come here and do their part toward keeping pace with theneeds of our fighting men. Sure, I suppose I am missing some of the partiesand pleasures which we all took for granted before the war, but I wouldn'tsay that working and not having them now is even a sacrifice. It certainlyis a great satisfaction to know at the end of the day that I had a small sharein getting something done for freedom.

i, I'll admit I find myself a little tired when I have to go home

and do the. fiouse-work at night. I figure, though, that the more work I

can do the less will have to be done by the men out there where the battles

are being fought. Fortunately, my mother is able to take care of my chil-

dren during the day-^-and you know, it makes her ieel too that she has a

little place of her own in helping to light this war.

"The money I earn ? Of course it's important. You know that rais-

ing three youngsters is always rather expensive, and being here gives us a

chance to plan and provide for thea in a way that might not otherwise

fee possible. I wouldn't give up my Job for anything because the year I

have been here has shown me that I can manage it and my household as well.

"If I can do it, other women can. Getting fo the plant is so easythat no unnecessary time is lost in travel, and for many it would be possiblefor them to go home at lunch-time if they have children in school and wantto prepare hot lunches for them. I think, all women in the communityshould think seriously about coming to Security Steel and helping us helpthe men who are doing the fighting part of this war.

"If any of them have members of their family in the service—I havea brother in the Air Corps—taking a job in our war plant will make-* thosesoldiers, sailors and marines plenty happy. I know!"

MEN AMD WOMEN are urgently needed for the production of essential war materials by the Security SteelEquipment Corporation, Avenel Street, AveneL Excellent opportunities both for the duration of the war and in peace-time are now available.. The plant is easily accessible by train or bus. Wages are good even while learning. Appli-cants may interview the Personnel Director daily from 10 until 4. They should not apply if they are employed at presentin a war plant. •

Take Risks For PeaceFor many years, the people of the Unit-

ed States have toeen told that this countrynever lost a war or won a conference.

The conference idea is nonsense, ofcourse, but its existence promotes isola-tionist sentiment and prevents the UnitedStates from entering into effective, agree-ments with other nations. ~ -« %'l|yj|l||;

Now that it appears that isolation didnot prevent this country from becomingembroiled in war, it is well to observe thatit would have been economical for us tolose a few conferences, if, -by so doing, wecould have avoided the present struggle.

Our experience will not prevent certainAmericans from asserting, when the pres-ent war ends, that the United States shouldavoid all cooperation with other nations.The same argument will be advanced, thatour diplomats are unable to keep up withthe wily negotiators of other countries.

Once more the country will be told thatany agreement will involve commitmentswhich will inevitably get us into war. Cer-tainly, such a result is possible, but ourexperience since the first World Warshould teach us that it is worthwhile totake some risks in the hope of maintainingpeace.

Ignorant Man Offers AdviceMan, with his short three score years

and ten, is always trying to understand thepast and to control the future.

The failure of humanity to profit by theexperience of previous generations is la-mentable and the effort to control theworld to come is ludicrous.

The reader is familiar with several"time capsules" which have been buried inthe United States for the purpose of givinga message to the people who will live somethousands of years from this time. Oneof these capsules was buried below the siteof the New York World's Fair.

The futility of seeking to write a mes-sage for people to read fifty centuries fromnow is illustrated by the experience of Dr.Robert A. Millikan, physicist and NobelPrize winner.

Dr. Millikan, in his original message,warned of the menace of despotism to rep-resentative governments. He now writesa postscript, saying that the externalthreat is not likely to succeed, but that aninternal threats in the form of too greata centralization of power, may destroy alarge republic like the United States.

There is truth in the fear of Dr. Millikanbut it has bearing for the people of today,not for those of 6943. They will be so farahead of us in intelligence and wisdom,that our messages .will only make plainthe relative barbarism of our proud civil-ization.

With the sulfa drugs and the new groupof penicillin-like substances it looks likethe war on disease is making steady pro-gress.

First thing we know it will be practi-cally impossible for a man to die. The na-tion and the world will be crammed withold fellows, above fifty, and. youth willfind it difficult to get ahead of the slow-marching mass.

of the world are clamoring for self-gov-ernment and awaiting the opportunity toestablish democratic government shouldnot mislead us. The devastation of Ger-many, Italy and Japan will not, of itself,produce democracy in Africa, India, orSouth America.

Victory over the Axis will secure theliberty and freedom of the peoples of theUnited States and Great Britain, encour-age the development of democracy that isunder way in China and Russia and lay thefoundation of a world order which willfoster and permit the unfolding of free-dom throughout the world.

Democracy will not spring into beingeverywhere just because the war is endedwith a peace which provides for the secur-ity, the welfare, the rights and the free-doms of the common man. Democracy isa growth which must be nourished andsupported by the people before it willbloom anywhere.

'Pitching In To HelpA dispatch from Tennessee says that

Uncle Joe" Vandergriff, 97-year-oldfarmer, recently lost everything that hehad when fire burned his house to theground.

The old man courageously declared,"I'm not too old to start life over," and saidthat he was ready to "start from scratch."

This is a commendable spirit, reflectingconsiderable credit upon the 97-year-oldman, but the explanation, we suspect, iscontained in his statement:

"All my friends and neighbors are pitch-ing in to help me."

Human beings, regardless of age or des-titution, retain hope so long as they havefriends and neighbors "pitching in" to helpthem.

No Instant DemocracyIt is constantly reiterated that the pres-

ent war is designed "to strengthen thecause of democracy throughout theworld."

In a sense, this is true but one shouldunderstand that no war can possibly createdemocratic instincts among people. Ourvictory can remove from the world the au-tocratic aggressors and thus protect thedevelopment of democracy everywhere.This is about all that can be accomplishedby the war.

The vast majority of the people of theworld have no conception of democraticgovernment and are without the intelli-gence and training that is necessary to anyeffort to establish a democracy. Conse-quently, neither their experience nor theirintelligence will be increased as a result ofour warfare.

The easy assumption that all the peoples

The U-Boats Have FailedPrime Minister Churchill, in his review

of the war, asserts that during the fourmonths, ending September 18th, not a sin-gle Allied merchant vessel was lost byenemy action in the- North Atlantic."

This is reassuring information, even iflimited to the North Atlantic. It is supple-mented by the fact that during the firsttwo weeks of the present month no Alliedhip was sunk by a U-boat anywhere in

the world.The defeat of the Nazi U-boat campaign

acts as one of the greatest victories of thewar. It is not as spectacular as successupon the field but .its importance in theprosecution of the war cannot be over-esti-mated.

Less than a year ago there were loudalarms in this country that the submarineswere sinking more than a million tons ofshipping a month and that the Allied navalleaders had gone to sleep. The critics,unfortunately, have not disappeared, eventemporarily, nor have the U-boats. Theyare now harping upon something else that"is wrong." ;

Women's SuffrageWomen's suffrage has not done "all the

good I hoped it would but it has not donethe harm its opponents said it would," de-clares Miss Alice Stone Blackwell, veteranin the fight for suffrage and now 68 yearsold.

There can be general agreement withher pronouncement. Like most people,interested in a reform, the women leaderswere sure that, once they got the vote, theycould change the customs, morals and be-havior of mankind. It just does'not hap-pen to be possible.

The women are not the only ones tomake this mistake. You can hardly listento a spread-eagle speech on any subjectwithout being assured by the orator thatadoption of his recommendations will easethe world of ail pain and create a new era.

The women of the nation had a right tovote, as a matter of justice, regardless ofwhether their suffrage resulted in generalimprovements or not. They got the rightand matters have persisted ever since, inabout the same way as before.

Defends RenegotiationCompetitive bidding for war contracts,

is "practically nil," declares MauriceKarker, retiring chairman of the War De-partment's price adjustment board.

Mr. Karker, in testimony before theHouse Ways and Means Committee, re-ported that the renegotiation of war con-tracts has saved the government and tax-payers some 4,000,000,000,000 withoutdepriving any company of its ability to pay-dividends. i

The witness said that renegotiation isnecessary in wartime to curb productioncosts and improve management and tech-niques and that it should be continuedwithout crippling restraints.

The General and the Dad DraftMarshall, Chief Of Staff, Personally Writes Finis To

Plan To Defer Pre-Pearl Harbor FathersGeneral .Marshall makes a good

witness. He was on the stand yes-terday and many observers believethat he •wrote "finis" on theWheeler-May drive to get draftdeferment for pre-Pearl Harborfathers as a class.

The General is a good-looking-man. There are kindly linesaround, his firm mouth. He hasblue eyes and iron-gray hair. Hedoesn't use notes when he talks.He shows no awe of Congressionaljoint committees. In a quiet way,he was master of himself and ofthe hearing yesterday. He got re-spectful hearing-, too; in fact, thereare few witnesses in Senatorialhearings who have commanded somuch attention, the more so sincehe "was testifying1 on a burningquestion.

:!= tt ::-" *

Take him out of uniform and!the General would look like thekindly father of a family. All thepopular notions about what a Gen-eral looks like—the bluster andstiffness, the swagger and polish—are belied by Marshall's appear-ance except the final one, that helooks like a leader of men. Hehas a sense of humor, and obvi-ously is of first-rate intelligence;the ideal man one would supposeto back up Generals Eisenhower,Mac-Arthur and the like, and tocommand loyalty and respect.

Just why so much emotion hasibeen roused, over the draft of pre-Pearl Harbor athers seemed•frankly .to puzzle the General. Af-ter all, he pointed out, there are700,000 fathers already in theArmy. What is so sacrosanct, heseemed to ask, about this curiousthing—"pre-!PearlHarbor father"?

* •:- -:= =:=However, the Army, and its Gen-

erals do not allow themselves emo-tion or sentiment one way or an-other, if it can avoid it on basicprograms. :The General himselfhas a stepson in an armored divi-sion.-in Africa. .Probably if hecould allow himself the luxury ofsentiment this would be directedto his son, rather than to someonein a non-essential industry athome. iBut the General wisely•forebore developing his personalfeelings, or pointing out that onlyin America, among all the warringnations, .has it ever seriously beenproposed to make a deferment ex-ception to fatherhood, as a sort ofsacred class.

The big point General Marshalleemphas^zed was as simpfe as A, P».•C. We have got the enemy onthe run, he said, aiid the big- thing

.is to keep him that way. He de-veloped this idea with a numberof different metaphors. One wasthat the Army has now got up Hs"momentum," and it should not beslowed down. He took another il-lustration from the 'boxing ring.When the pugilist presses his an-tagonist, it is not the 'first heavyblow that generally wins the boatbut the follow-up after the oppo-nent has lost his balance, that"cuts him down."

That is the situation as to whatto do with Germany now, he ex-plained. Not to keep up th;steady pressure' now would be towaste untold dollars and humanlives later on. General Marshalis aghast at 'the thought of anystep that •would interrupt the man-power supply to the fronts at thisjuncture. He clearly feels th?i.this would be the result of theWheeler •draft-deferment proposal

* * -r *

The implications of GeneraMarshall's program go further.The War Department is apparentlywilling to take certain daringchances in its European plans inorder to keep the enemy fully en-gaged. There is more than a hintthat this policy was followed inthe touch-and-go affair at Salerno.In the cold-blooded calculation ofthe military, it was apparently-felt that anything the Americanslost there would be an economy ofhuman lives in the long run. Therisk was taken and proved success-ful. More risks will, be taken.

* * * *Just to fill replacements, the

Army needs 75,000 new men amonth, General Marshall explain-ed. In a'ddition to that, it plans tobring its size up from 7,300,000to 7,700,000 men by next January1. General Marshall did not goparticularly into the subject ofthe father-draft. All he wants isthe assurance of a continued sup-ply of adequate human' material,not taken from essential industry.The biggest deferred class at thepresent time is the "pre-Pearl.Harbor fathers." Some attentionis being given, however, to an-other class. Approximately 1,500,-000 eligible men are deferred inthe farm-worker exemption group,primarily under the so-called Tyd-ings Amendment. This is so 'broadthat it has been charged it is usedfor draft do'dgers and labor hoard-ing, particularly on large Southernplantations. Congress may lookinto this situation shortly.—Rich-ard L. Strout in The (Christian Sci-ence Monitor.

Under The State Home DomeBy J. Joseph Gribbins

TREINTiON.—With party plat-forms adopted and preliminaryskirmishing over, citizens may ex-pect a hectic three weeks on the'gubernatorial front from now toelection day when lNew Jersey'sfavorite pin-up boy will emerg-efrom an avalanche of ballots tobecome the next Governor of the'Garden (State.

iFlatforms adopted this» weekwill form the groundwork of partycampaigns, bat both former Gov-ernor Walter E. Edge, of VentnorRepublican candidate, and MayorVincent J. Murphy, Newark, Dem-ocratic candidate, will have otherthings to say during the fast andfurious days ahead. Through1

statements, r a d i o talks, andspeeches at mass meetings, thecandidates plan to get their mes-sages over to the public, hopingtheir arguments will convince vot-ers of their fitness to occupy thsGovernor's chair during the nextthree years.

Republicans displayed their soli-darity by incorporating the key-note convention speech of Edgein their declaration of party prin-ciples, after expressing pride inhis record as Governor of NewJersey during World War I,United States Senator and Ambas-sador to France. Edge flayed bi-partisan trading and patronagedeals; declared for a new 'StateConstitution, and said he wouldconsider the question of railroadtaxes in the Mght of increasedearnings by the carriers, after the•State Court of .Errors and Appealshas passed upon the legality oflegislative acts wiping out delin-quent, penalties totaling- $24,'0'00,-OiOO. There are eighteen othsjrplanks in the Republican platform.

Mayor iMurphy personally favorsconstitutional revision but theDemocratic platform does not re-flect his attitude as su-eh a plankwas left out of the document byconvention delegates. However,the Democratic platform 'pledgesoutright repeal of the railroad taxcompromise laws adopted by theRepublican Legislature with thesupport of Governor Edison on theground they comprise "a gross dis-crimination in favor of the rail-roads and against the taxpayers ofNew Jersey." There are seven-teen other planks in the Demo-cratic platform.

Republicans hope a solid partywill elect Governor Edge on No-vember 2. Democrats are count-ing on a solid, statewide laborvo'te, plus the regular Democratic-vote, including a huge majorityin Hudson County, to put MayorMurphy .across. Voters of; NewJersey will settle the argument onelection day.

TRUCK/DEATHS:—Death lurksaround the corner when truck driv-

ers relax precaution. State Policeand .State Motor Vehicle recordsare replete 'with stories of theGrim Reaper appearing quickly onthe scene when such drivers failto realize the truck they are driv-ing instantly becomes a.instrumentof destruction when sane judg-ment is replaced by smart-Alecxaetics.

One person was killed, and sevenseriously injured recently when adriver of a flat body truck -wa-:jtransporting some migratory farm'workers to a.farm near Granbury.He was traveling at a fast rate ofspeed around a sharp curve whichcaused the eight persons to bethrown from the vehicle.

Another accident recently oc-curred near Mizpah when a driverpermitted a boy to ride on therunning board of his truck. 'Thevehicle became over-heated throw-ing hot water from the radiator.Some of it splashed on the boy'schest causing him to lose his grip.He fell to the highway and wasseriously injured.

A truck operator while negoti-ating a steep grade in North Jer-sey allowed a boy and girl, pas-sengers of his vehicle, to get outand run along side for exerciseThe boy slipped and fell under the"wheels of the vehicle and was s»verely crushed.

Another truck driver while,traveling north on Route 25 a*-Maplemeade with a load of procuce from Delaware, tried to passanother truck going in the banndirection. At this point the highway has only two lanes, (Seeinghe couldn't successfully get byhe swerved sharply to the left arcstruck an oncoming truck he&i.'on. iBoth drivers'were buU'ned beyond recognition and it was several days before State troop^ei-were able to ascertain their iden-tity.

One must write of summer inthe past tense. It is the most tem-porary of seasons while it is here,and it goes quickly. .

Most of us will-remember it asthe season with lew automobiles,and with those few driven at mod-erate speeds, a bright memorywhich will endure long-er than therecollection bf'petty wartime hard-ships. . . .

The whole attitude, of the hu-man race toward street trafficwas revolutionized, and suddenlyeveryone became young again. . . .

And the' bicycles. No matteiwhere you went, you would alwayssee a child on a wheel, . . . comingalong at a headlong pace and look-ing (backward over his shoulder.Approaching a corner, you couldbe virtually certain that a chiijwould .presently sweep around iton his bicycle, no hands on th?handlebars, and while yoii watchedwith fascination^ he wouid, as likelyas not, casually put his shoe onthe most convenient part of thebicycle before him and proceed totie a shoelace, meantime continu-ing at top speed.

The picture isa fast-moving, suspenseful melo-drama of behind-the-lines intriguein North Africa, to which the au-dience reacted with the rich ap-preciation it deserves.

Set against the background ofthe British Eight Army Africacampaign, it tells the story of howa British tank corporal, FranchotTone, stum'bles into a hotel inSidi Halfaya which is about to betaken over by Field Marshal Rom-mel, for his staff headquarters.Tone, with the aid of Tamiroffwho owns the hotel, and AnneBaxter, a French chambermaid,pretends to ;be a waiter.

The handsome young man stoodab the door, holding the newspaperdiffidently in his hand. Barbaralooked at him questioning-ly. Hedid not seem to be- ,the type -who•would wear nylons. iBut he hadan alarm €1001!:, as large as life, inhis hand.

"I saw your ad in the Crier," hebegan, "and so . . ."

"But it's only 4:30 and the adsays for 6:30'. . ."

The tall young man gulped. Hisface reddened.

" Well;, you see, I happen to livein the "building and so I tried to'beat'the rush. I've always wanteda pair of nylons . . ."

"You don't understand," helaughed-, "it's for my sister, Joan.She's jiist 'about your height andthe prettiest thing-. She's grachj-ating- from college this month andI would like to send her a pair .ofnylons for a present. As for the•alarm clock, it's a honey."

"By the way," she asked, "what-ever will you do to get up morn-ings without an alarm clock,Mr. . . . ?"

"Jordan," he interposed quick-ly. "Leonard' Jordan from justdown the hall . . .''

"I thought your face was fa-miliar," declared Barbara, "I musthave seen you in- the elevator."

"I've noticed you several -times,Miss Trent . . . or is it MissJones?"

"It's Jones, affirmed Barbara,"plain Jones." She proceeded tothe desk, -opened it carefully, ex-tracted the precious nylons.

"People in New York,1' con-• tinued Mr. Jordan, apparently notovercome by the sight of the boxwith its precious cargo, "are quitecold and indifferent. I've beenhere about six months, in thi;same apartment, and nobodyseems to know that anybody elseis alive,"

Barbara nodded."That's right," she acquiesced.

"I've found it that way. I've beenin town nearly a year and it hasbeen rather lonely . . ."

She caught herself abruptly.iShe was becoming quite confiden-tial with this young man. But,then, he was appealing in a blond,near-sighted way.

".Right. I . . . Is your sisterJoan out of town, Mr. Jordan?'she asked.

"University of Missouri," an-swered Mi-. Jordan hurriedly."When she comes out, she hopes tojoin the WAICs. Great kid, Joan."

"Well, then, she won't have thenylons for long," reflected Bar-bara.

"Don't worry about that. She'llalways cherish this pair." Hestared at them with sudden -fond-ness.

Barbara's eyes watched thehands of .the clock. It was 5:30,

"iMy goodness, we've been chat-ting for about an hour . . ."

"It's been such lovely companyfor me," sighed Mr. Jordan. "I'mglad I happened to look out the-window this morning. That'swhen I saw you econe back -with alithose groceries. I knew you wereat home.

He walked slowly to the door.Her reddish-hair, her vivacity, herblue eyes, everything-about Bar-tara exuded charm. He had beenjontemplating her from afar formany months.

After all, he wardifficult to recognize without hisglasses, especially horn-rimmed.Perhaps he would give, up weal-ing them in the street altogether,simply don them at the shop.

"Miss Jones, would you min-dmuch if I rang your bell . . . say,Saturday night, and asked you tothe movies?" He waited withtense expectancy.

:—Keep full of water isthe advice of the State Depart-ment of Health if you want to liveto a ripe old age. The departmentexamines public potable watersupplies quarterly, to safeguard'New Jersey residents againstgerms.

Do you realize that approxi-mately 7'0 per cent—-nearly three-quarters1—of the body weight iswater? Since water is constantlytoeing excreted %y the lungs, kid-neys and Skin, it JS essential thatthe water intake be maintained ata high level* to avoid a deficiency.Fortunately, the conditions thatmake unusually heavy demandsupon the body's water reserves—such as hot Weather 'and unusualexertion, also increase thirst and•cause more water to be consumed.Were this not true, man's bodilyailments, already numerous andtroublesome, would be greatly in-creased, both in number and intheir ability to add to humanmisery.

The .State Department of Health-also states the percentage of waterin the Wood is considevably high-er than that in the foody as a whole!The .blood plasma itself, which pa-triotic Americans have been fur-nishing for transfusions on thebattlefields and in military hos-pitals all over the world, consistsof ninety per cent water and onlyten .per cent gases, food products,ihlrganic salts, waste productsand other substances.

According to the department,the human. Ibody loses four andone-half pints of water every 24hours through the kidneys, skinand kings. Persons are advisedto drink about five or six glassesof water a day, because the aver-age person can live considerably-longer without food than withoutwater.

WASHINGTON—Until recentlyAllied' military leaders believedthat .the Germans intended to holdthe line fvom Smolensk to Kievand southeastward around thegreat bend of the Dnieper River.It then seemed certain that theenemy would cling desperately toSmolensk, a great communicationcenter and the Russian gatewayto northern Poland and Germany.Events of the past few weeks, how-ever, have accelerated the evic-tion of the Germans -from Sovietsoil and made necessary a drasticreview -of the plans for invasionof northern Europe formulated bythe United Nations a few monthsago.

Until lately the Allies did nethave . enough troops to invadsnorthern Europe then held bymore than forty Nazi divisions.Now these divisions have been di-minished in 'numlber by needs ofthe Italian front and replacementsin Russia where the enemy hasbeen foreed to give up the north-ern anchor of his line—a losswhich may well mean his retreat tothe. Polish border before manyweeks.

And with the greatly, improvedAllied technique of amphibiousoperations, as shown in NorthAfrica and ISieily, the Atlanticpowers must keep pace with thaRussians' war effort, and face thetask of opening a second front innorthern Europe soon. The haz-ards there are great, for the physi-cal defenses are -tough, but themen (behind the defenses—the"brave, fanatical Nazi soldiers"—have lost heart. But few of themstill believe that Germany can winthe war.' Their hope, to hold theAllies in defensive fighting- tobring about a stalemate and even-tually a compromise peace, musthave been shattered by the Amer-ican, British and Russian victoriesof the past two months. NorthernEuropean invasion now offers bigdividends—politically no less thanmilitary. Watch for action theresoon.

* * *Despite a poor start, it is still

possible that the Seventy-eighthCongress may live up to its dutyand opportunity as potentially themost powerful instrument of dem-ocratic government in the world.During this session it can cover itspages with historic aets of whichmen, women and children every-where will be forever grateful, orit can yield to its old weakness forpetty partisan politics—as for in:

stance the time spent in beatingdemagogic drums over the draft-ing of fathers.

Let us hope that with peace inview, Congress will proceed in thespirit of its ibest tradition—so thatnot only our people at home, butmen the world -over who pin theirfaith on democracy, will knowwhat kind of world America wantsto see emerge from the ruins andsacrifice -of this awful war.

* .* «God vs. Hitler.—Nazi anger has

been aroused by a "church week"which was held in the city ofUtrecht in Holland. Church lead-ers were accused of making theirreligious meetings occasions for

demonstrations in favor >-of theroyal house. "These religiousservices," the Dutch-Nazi -org-an'Storm commented, "were held inthe 'Wilhelmina' church, the 'Ju-liana' Church,the 'Orange1 Church,the 'William the Silent'- -Churchand 'Peace' Church. The subjectof the sermons .was "Who is theking of the world? Whom do wefollow?" This is just anotherpatriotic stunt invented by the.gentlemen of the Church. Theonly fitting- answer to such mor-ibid drivel," the magazine con-tinues, "has been given by theUtrecht Elite Guard which pastedon the announcement under thequestion "Whom do we follow?"the. large-lettered answer, 'AdolfHitler'."-

The weekly also added that Ithad been the intention of the oi'-ganizers of the "church -week'1that the Queen herself should at-tend the meetings, "since the in-vasion was slated to start on June22." This did not come off, how-ever, but the Nazis are keeping uptheir predictions of 'invasiondates'. This time they selectedAugust 31, the Queen's 64rd birth-day -. . . If they keep guessing- alittle lo!ig-er, A n g l o -Americanforces "eager and ready to go,''may oblige them sooner than maybe good f-or them.
