thought. If you listened you were bound to be thrilled anu
at the same time saddened by the prospect ahead of our men
who are fighting this war.
From a battle front in Germany we heard the familiar
story, “the going is tough and will be tougher.” From the
same’area we heard the recording of an actual battle scene. The
big guns with their crescendo of thunder, the rattle of small ti
arms, the knowledge that this kind of action could not go on
without a terrible loss of life in our own armies. Thrilling and
dreadful.
Yet at home we are griping about rationing—sore because
of gasoline shortage, butter shortage, travel restrictions.
From France we heard a report given with the accompani-
ment of the roll of gunfire. We heard again that the going
was tough, that our men were suffering from cold and mud as
well as enemy fire. Heard men tell of the nice comfortable (?)
dugouts they were occupying between patrols.
And at home we read of thousands of workmen on strike
at plants whose continuous operations' are necessary to the
prosecution of the war. > .
From Italy we heard the firing of a battery of eighty-
eights, a daily routine of throwing death and destruction at the
enemy. Again we are told that the going is tough. Here the
three* familiar enemies, weather, mud and Germans. The soldiers
at this point also are looking forward to a hard, bitter struggle,
w. Op the home front we hear that people are constantly cash-
ing their war bonds.
Why, oh why, can’t we wake up. Why are politics so im-
portant when American soldiers are dying for their country.
V.e are thrilled to hear that Gen. McArthur has returned to the
hillipines. What is the average American citizen doing to
make that return a successful mission.
This is war with all of its awful implications, yet we arc
worrying about little things at home. Wo are saddened to learn
of the death 0r capture of some one close to us—some one we
may have known. But are we thinking in terms of personal
obligation to the millions of Americans scattered throng -out. the
world today engaged in the bitterest of conflict for uG_

source of satisfaction to you
that our fighting men have a

you have done and are doing. ’ ’
Col. McCarty added that the
explosives these fightng men
use comes from pulpwood. Their
parachutes often are derived
of wood fibre. And their food,
supplies and medical equipment
come to them protected from
spoilage by another pulpwood
product.

Country Cured deals mainly with that part of
rural America where the “corn is an endless
green carpet tacked down here and there by a
windmill.” The smell of fresh plowed earth
permeates it, while through it, too, run the
homely daily acts and chores of the simple folk
yvho have helped make America what it is today.
You will enjoy—perhaps more than anything
you have ever read—reading this personal his-
tory of the Missouri farm boy who became one
of America’s famed novelists and a Hollywood
writer of renown.

‘Make Hay? in School,
’Teen-Agers Advised
TpVEN though school is in full
swing, it seems pretty early
to think about graduation, especially
if that great day is going to be sev-
eral years coming, says Holly Mil-
ler, whose column in Capper’s Farm-
er is a popular feature among boy
and g- ' readers of the nationally
circuit farm magazine.
“He c:\ a diploma won’t auto-
matically turn you into the intelli-
gent, educated, cGicient young what-
ever-you-v. ant-to-be,” she counsels,
“unless you’ve laid a good founda-
tion through the years of good old
golden rule days.
“Come graduation, your class poet
probably will dream up a fancy peak
into the future lives of your class-
mates, all in rather free verse. For
instance:
“A good engineer is our George Arnold
White—
He designs big machines of great
strength and much might.”
“Are you making hay while the
state is paying for your education,
or are you letting bright boys like
George White get a running start?
George probably studied his math
and physics while he was in School.
A basic background of information is
not a luxury in this day and age. It’s
a necessity for Getting Ahead, be-
cause a fair percentage of the mil-
lions of your contemporaries are go-
ing to school to learn—not just to
pass. Playing through school fits
you for practically nothing but play-
ing throuoi*-4ife.”
