Show Ruminatin Roundabout j In which 'Ruminator proposes to dream a lot, think as little as necessary, scatter a few bouquets bou-quets while their objectives are still above the sod to enjoy them, and fire a hrft-shot now and then while said Ruminator Ruminat-or can enjoy seeing the sparks fly. The Utah Oil Refining company, in display ad appearing last week in The N'ews, announced two more useful booklets which the company is making available to customers. "A-B-C of Victory Gardens" and "Keep Your Car In Fighting Trim," ai'e the two bin klets. This is a commendable service Utah Oil is rendering to customers in war time, much as the hooks on hunting, fishing, skiing, and other sports were in peace time. Bob Tomsik's Service garage is the local outlet for Utah Oil Products. For some 16 months Ruminator has been unwaveringly convinced that the typicaljap is the offspring of some diabolically unnatural cross of rat and snake with due apologies apolo-gies to the rattlesnake, which pives warning before it strikes! This cross, by some freak of nature na-ture given a human form and a brain that would put Satan to shame, first came forth in its true colors on December 7, 1941. But, not contented with registering the Pearl Harbor attack as a new low in treacherous depravity, we learn now of the barbarous torture and execution of American aviators who thrilled the world a year ago with their bombing of military objectives 0n the Jap mainland. Serving only to confirm us in our opinion of 16 months standing is our observation of the Japs now thrust on our community by parties who are more interested in growing a few acres of carrots than the peace of mind of mothers and fathers of boys in their country's coun-try's service. There may be, in all America, a Tew loyal .American-Japanese who are such in fact, but, in our opinion, the typical Japanese-American Japanese-American differs from his bloody-handed bloody-handed cousin across the Pacific only in a toothy polish which he has gained through American advantages ad-vantages in association and education edu-cation and only awaits an opportunity oppor-tunity to do another Pearl Harbor. All the while, if they are not taken back to their . relocation centers and" properly corralled, they will be found working a peaceful infiltration that will shock the community in much the same way as was Washington 16 months ago (or California, where the people are determined to have nothing of the Japs in the future). Remember, it was only by a mere .squeak that Milford escaped having hav-ing a Jap flop-house (orwhat-have-you?) in the heart of town, while current street rumor has it that one of our finest Main street institutions in-stitutions one with a long and creditable history behind it is soon to take on features of a small-scale Little Tokyo. Unless the war in the Pacific is won unbelievably soon, 10 to 50 of our Milford boys are going to give their lives or return home maimed in the fight to keep from our shores the bloody-handed and demon-hearted cousins of the Japs now with us. In the meantime, mean-time, mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, wives and sweethearts sweet-hearts of our 'boys in the services ser-vices must brush elbows in stores and be jostled on the sidewalks (by these highly-veneered and smirking things whom we are sup-iposed sup-iposed to treat as equals all for the sake of those carrots! As if -this were not enough, we are further fur-ther "treated", all too often, to the sight of other toothy individuals indi-viduals sporting speedy C-rationed cars on our streets and Jap-driven trucks crowding to the borrow, pits local citizens who must travel the roads in South Milford! Is sympathy and compassion for those who have loved ones in the army or navy absolutely dead in the hearts of those who brought this about and of those who condone con-done it for the sake of a few dollars dol-lars in sales or income? |
