Show MY WEEK by eleanor roosevelt united featured feat rea tures service WAR GUILT thero there Is a co column lumn by mr which I 1 think Is particularly fine ile he points out that tho the search for an in or a group of people on whom to pin possible war guilt Is really futile adolt adolf hitler has told us that ho he planned for this war and that he has thought out each move with care before making it mr tells us u that eve even n it if we are drawn into tho the war it will not be our doing but the prearranged plan of mr hitler ile he expresses it of course much better t than han I 1 can but th the e thought seemed to to me to be 0 one no that it Is wise to bring home to all of 0 us because what happens during the next years does not llo he entirely in our own hands our statesmen our cengr congress ess and our people may strive in the sanest and most temperate way to meet each situation as it arises but we are dealing with people who lay their plans far ahead and we will have to try to be as farsighted far sighted as aa they are for the time being I 1 think that sightedness farsightedness far lies iles in stepping up tip our production in aiding those who believe in the things in which we believe and at the some same time in preparing ourselves in every possible way for future defense part of this defense it seems to me Is a mental defense and Is as important for the women and children as the men it lies iles in building within us a kind of courage which Is ready to meet whatever comes and which Is willing to prepare to do so SUNNY DAYS DAY at golden beach fla our days continued bright and sunny and so glorious at night that it seemed a pity not to be 18 again and subject to its influence we had some showers but they were over quickly and everything seemed to be greener afterwards one afternoon ignace drove down from palm beach to call on me ile he had gone there to attend a concert and evidently had enjoyed his evening it was very kind of him to come to see me but I 1 felt rather guilty that ile he should take so much trouble the last two years have not been happy ones for him with the storm clouds gathering everywhere and the danger coming closer to his beloved poland I 1 think when you have given as much of yourself as he has to his country it must be bitter indeed to see oil all your world thrown away and apparently lost because of the cruel ambitions of one man I 1 do not suppose however that any really good work is ever lost somewhere the seed remains and the influence Is felt in tho the future but for a time at least all that has done as a statesman must seem to him wiped out ono one feels that these years have sapped his strength but his eyes are as keen as ever and they look at you with an expression which Is indicative of the same courage wo we have grown to expect fam this gentleman A we were interested too in hla his young secretary who told us a good deal about his travels in south america I 1 was wa happy to have this opportunity ot of seeing once again a very great man and shall shah take his message to the president when I 1 return to washington GIRL SCOUTS the girl scouts have now celebrated their twenty ninth birthday all AH over this country groups of girl scouts are preparing through their various programs to meet the emergencies of the future the points which they emphasize in their training are all points point 1 I which make for better citizens in any community through their camps they teach the building of health and the value of outdoor life they develop habits of self reliance and resourcefulness which are a safeguard in their everyday lives they learn the value of conservation for the country and for the individual at home recreation is emphasized as a part of healthy normal living and above everything else they feel they are a necessary part of any community in which they live because they give service they have already offered many hours of work to the nation in the defense program and probably have learned the first and most important lesson that du de tense begins at home the better you make your community the better the defense of the nation will be their contribution to pan amerl ameri can friendship through the encampment held last summer where 13 countries of the tha western hemisphere were represented was really a significant ant achievement |
