There is wisdom in the words of the president when he said that in his opinion a veteran of World War II should direct the future of the men engaged in this conflict. The president said that as a veteran of World War I he would ha,·e resented a veteran of the Spanish American war directing the veterans' administration alter the last war. General Bradley understands the fighting men of today. He has demonstrated the lengtl1s to which he will go to save the lives of tile men of his command. He knows the modern day problems that will confront these men as they again attempt to orient themselves to civilian life. single exception o! the 200 kw Bethany Transmitter, operated by the Crosley company for 0 W I, whose vacuum tubes also were built by Federal Telephone. The broadcast warfare against the Japanese will penetrate the homeland and all points held by the enemy from Manchukuo to the extreme south Pacific. •In their performance the transmitters will be virtually alike. Operating at high frequencies designed by the Federal Communications Commission, they wil be heard, by means of directional antennas, with greater strength far into enemy-held territories of the Pacific and Asia, as well as all of South America. The fewer the dishes, the less dishwashing to do, obviously! Which, as Westinghouse home economists point out, is only one of the advantages of serving meals direct from cooking utensils to dinner plates, in the kitchen. Food also stays hot longer. ·: -·-·-·-·-·-· ·-·-·-·-··· II Iwo Jima was the toughest fight in the 1069 years of Marine Corps history, in the opinion of Lt Gen Holland M Smith, who directed our costly but successful battle for the strategically inlp01tant volcanic island in ti1e Pacific. Frontal assault was ti1e only way in which lwo could be taken, our military leaders decided after studying the problem at length. But the strategic importance of lwo was so great iliat they figured it would be worti1 the cost. · Right Turn Plain people in America are tired ot regimentation. ,The figures show it. Late in April big·city news~ papers were publishing tables of figures that grew out at a survey by the American Institute ot Public Opinion, popularly called a "Gallup Poll." An article by George Gallup himself accompanied the figures I examined and they were both interesting and encouraging. Nothing but victory in war could make bigger news. Nothing short of unconditional surrender by all of America's national enemies could be more gratilying than this: Suddenly there bas come a popuJar yearning for the days when Mr. Customer was boss, when p~ople got paid accord· ing lo what their work was worth, when they had a right to anything their money woulQ buy. HThe capture of Iwo Jima was considered essential by those in whose hands the destiny of our nation lies," Gen Smith is quoted in the June issue of Cosmopolitan magazine as saying. "The cost of winning this objective was no doubt weighed carefully against the importance of having this island as an operating base. It is not within our province to evaluate the cost in money, time, equip- ment or, most of all, human life. We knew we had only one way to attack-by frontal assault." Fully aware that we would have' to take Iwo in order to afford protection for our bombing planes in the Saipan~Tokyo run, the Japs went all out in an effort to make the cost as high as possible. Gun and mortar emplacements were set up in the caves of the i~land where they could not be to eliminate all the enemy shore guns. Summing up the battle for Jwo, Gen Smith pays high tribute to the men who made the victory posS'ible. 11 0nly the courage in the hearts of the men and their willingness to give their all for their country made the victory possible," he is quoted as saying. "We bow our heads in humble appreciation to those who, n«!ver questioning their orders, have made Iwo Jima ours." TO LOOK FORWARD TO Forty per cent of the lighting in new homes built after the war will be provided by fluorescent tUbes. predicts Miss Myrtle Fahsbender, director of Home Lighting for Westinghouse. They're most likely to be used f'rst in the kitchen, bathroom, basement, breakfast room and sewing nook. Back to Earth Dr. Gallup says, "there are indications today that the largest group of the American people are not now particularly interested !n seeing many changes or reforMs in this country after the war. In tact, a survey just completed across the nation by the Institute reveals that the majority of Americans want things to remain pretty much as they were before the war." The head of the Institute told a few hopeful details about individual answers to his questions. He says a good share of the minority who wish for post-war changes want to change back, back to conditions we knew years before the war. He didn't say so, but indicated clearly that the people are longing for the days ol self~reliance, before the WP A, the CCC and the NY A. Pompous Protests People are beginning to walk around the idea of dictated social change to look at the back side ot it. The gold paint is beginning tO rub off those cheap theories about au citizens doing a similar amount of work and drawing about the same pay, govenunent guaranteed jobs for everybody, politically run banks and stores. regimented farmers, standardized houses, clothes and food. The sawdust is showing THE OLD JUDGE SAYS ••• through. The famous surveyor of public opinion grouped into three classes everybody his scouts questioned. The break~down was by educational attainment, (1) college, l2) high school and (3) grade school people. Now who, do you suppose, wants the social changes? 'fbe college class58% of them. More than half the other two groups disagree but most of the cap~and-gown folk want America made over. FRED: "Is it true, Judge, that a war can't be won without the use of war-alcohol ... the kind the beverage distillers have been producing for the government for over two years?" OLD JUDGE: "That's right, Fred. It is a basic ingredient in the smokeless powder used in virtually every firearm from a pistol to a 16-inch gun. And, in addition, it plays Fake High-Brows Revolutionists, critics of represel1tative government, malcontents and promoters o! European theories hav~ done an amazing job in Amer· ican colleges. The mystery is-Howl They smoke-screened the unique prosperity o! this world's most fa~ vored people and, protected by academic indifference, spotlighted the fiaws of popular government and fumed about unfair competition. Selfishness is a trait ot mortal man, not a special feature of private enterprise. This fact has been proved to a lot of honest people under war·tirne regimentation, needless restraints, questiona6le Tif.tioning and discourteous petty officials. It is losing favor. We have heard a let about post-war demobilization ot the Army and Navy. Evidently the public wants to bear about the demobilization of bur.eaucracy. a more human role. The medical supplies which our military doctors use to alleviate pain, combat infection, save lives are prepared with war-alcohol." FRED: "No wonder, then, more and more people are recognizing the grea~contribu tion our beverage distillers h;jve made to the winning of the war with their doubleduly product."

In fact, it is considered inadvisable to set a definite day, the explanation being that the accumulation of frost varies with the amount of food ·in the refrigerator. So let the accumula· tion of frost be your guide-when it is about % inch thick, the time has come to defrost. A diamond is just a hunk of coal that stuck tQ its job.
