LUND Now Its War toe t Hilt For the Duration Its Not to Our Liking But Destiny Wills It We taka the following from Destiny Magazine and we testify that it ij as true as truth can be. Read and ponder "With the beginning of the Russian-Germa- n war there came a breathing spell for the Anglo-Sixo- n peoples. That period is soon to end, however, and what the American people must be prepared to face in the immediate future is disastrous military reverses which will completely nullify the program of assistance to those nations now fighting Hitler. This is known from the prophetic word. The fin-al and irrevocable decisions that will be made shorrtly will completely stun the Allies and precipitate an all-ou- t con-flict, involving this entire man power and resources of the United States. It is the height of folly for the citizens o1 this country to continue to hide their heads in the shiftingsands of wist ful thinking, for we are definitely in the war for its dura-tion.. ..Unless we are willing to immediately surrender un-conditionally to the Axis powers, ineluding Japan, there is no turning back. ...We are at war and a war which will not end untd we either gain a d cisive victory or capitnlate to the enemy. Our enemies in this war are forces of evil wilhin and witnout. While we face the Axis powers and their Allies from without, yet evon more disquieting to our hope of peace are the forces of disruption within for-ces which arc poised to strike when such a move will be to their advantage as the international situation grows moie acute. The present conflict into which we have been preeipita-te- d will test our national unity as no cris in the past has tested it .".The very existeneeof this nation as a free and independent country is at stake. This is so because the foe within is undertaking to capitalize upon our being in-volved in the world conflict to gain control over and dom inate our entire domestic life Dark days and troublous times are ahead, the full r a'ization of which will soon dawn on our people." Our Iceland Force Is Well Equipped Has Comforts and Clothing Superior to British. REYKJAVIK, ICELAND. A regi-ment of trained soldiers recruited from the factories and farms of Ohio, Tennessee and Kentucky and with a history studded with battle honors from Bull Run to the forms a prominent part of the American fighting force on Ice-land. Most striking is their superiority in clothing, articles of comfort and armament over British infantry here. Like old soldiers the Americans settled down in their heated, storm-proof Nissen huts. There were no complaints about the cold. One company has an orderly room which would put some of the British officers messes to shame. Its furnishings included overstuffed chairs and couches of modern de-sign, a taWe tennis outfit, radio and magazine rack. In the officers club the Americans are preparing for a dance for army nurses and local girls. The club has the same furnishings as that for the enlisted men with the addi-tion of a "juke box," bar and four slot machines. Over the bar is the newly designed red, white and blue insigne of Field Force Four, the regimental insigne and the Great Seal of the United States. Enlisted men and officers have plenty of blankets and heavy cloth-ing against the arctic blasts. In addition to the blue denim work clothes, field and garrison uniforms and coats, they have received fur caps, wool-line- d mackinaws, heavy galoshes, glove's, five pairs of shoes and heavy underclothes and socks. The men are eager to show the workings of their new Garand rifles. WPA to Study Eating Habits Writers to Turn Talents To Americana in U. S. Defense Series. WASHINGTON. The corps of edi-tors and writers employed on WPA Writers' projects, having virtually completed the American Guide se-ries of 50 colorful volumes on 48 states, Alaska and Puerto Rico, are turning now to individual aspects of Americana. The Guide series, presenting a comprehensive account of the his-tory, culture, economy and detailed touring inforr tion of the states and two territo. .es, is to be followed by a volume on American eating habits, a National Defense series, and six regional books on American arts and crafts. Wide Range Covered. The 800 titles turned out by the projects, which How employ about 2,300 persons, soon will be increased by "The United States: A Pictorial Study of a Democracy," which will be printed in Spanish and distrib-uted south of the border in another bid for hemispheric solidarity. An English edition may be published later. The 800 publications range from pamphlets of purely local interest to the American Guide series. Why does the government spend money for all of these books? Assistant Works Projects Com-missioner Florence Kerr answers: "The urgencies of the present decade make mutual understanding between communities of the nation a prerequisite to national unity. The ultimate goal of the Writers' Pro-gram is to contribute to national unity through presenting America to Americans." The list of publications in the Life . in America series will be headed by six regional volumes bearing the title: "Hands That Build the Na-tion." In these books will be de-scribed the native arts and crafts of the people of New- - England, the Middle Atlantic and Great Lakes states, the Southeast, the central states, the Southwest and the Northwest Each volume will con-tain about 40,000 words and have 60 or more illustrations in color. Food Tastes Studied. "America Eats" is the title select-ed tentatively for another volume in the Life in America series, a book devoting one chapter to a commu-nity meal typical to some phase of American life a political barbecue, a church supper, a Rotary luncheon, a clam bake, breakfast in a large city cafeteria, a family reunion din-ner and others. The writers also will attempt to uncover the traditions that link baked beans with Boston, and hot biscuits and fried chicken with the South, and to learn why Westerners are supposed to like fried meats better than roasts. Other projected volumes include a history of forest conservation, an account of the western rangelands in terms of Indians, Spaniards and American frontiersmen who helped carve a great empire out of a wil-derness. A contemporary and his-torical account of the Indian also will be written. Two sets of guides and a series of State Health Almanacs are contem-plated in the National Defense series. One group of guides will pertain to military and naval acad-emies, the other will be devoted to the larger posts and reservations of the army and the navy. THE NEXT NINE YEARS An Analysis and a Prophecy by Wing Anderson First Printing, July 1938 , The Meaning of .Numbers Three is a holy number and will be found to run through all Bibles which have stood the test of centuries. Accord-ing to tradition, Three Wise Men came to the Birth, the Trin-ity of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, body soul and spirit. Four is the number of the earth with its four quarters of the globe, four directions, four seasons, four evolutionary planes of mineral, vegetable, animal and man. Five is an intermediate number. Six comprises the three-fol- d realm of spirit manifesting through the three-fol- d world of matter. This is the meaning of the interlocked triangles, the Star of David, the Emblem of the Jewish people-Seve-appears countless times in religious literature, it includes the four earth planes, and the three planes of spirit. The Book of the Revelation is a series of sevens. There were f seven days of creation, six days of activity and one of rest. Among the Hebrews seven was a sacred number par excel-lence. The candleabra with seven candles is one of the most important properties of their rituals. Seven priests blew the horn at the siege of Jerico, in the seven days required to cap-ture the city. It was the number of the locks, the seven days of meditation and prayer, seVen pillars of wisdom, seven princes of Persia, are but a few references to the number seven which may be found in the Old and New Tstaments. Eight is representative of four light, (positive) forces in opposition to the four dark (negative) forces. . Nine is the number of mankind. Nine months is the time of gestation for man, thelje are nine orifices in the body, man i is possessed with nine faculties, etc. v Ten is the complete number the sum of the two sacred numbers three and seven-Eleve-is the number of change. The war ended on the elevsnth hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. Twelve is the mystical number. In both the Old and New Testaments and in Oahspe we find the numbers, three, seven, nine and twelve constantly recurring. A few of the cardinal twelves are:.- The twelve months of the year, the twelve signs of the Zodiac, the twelve Disciples, the twelve promises of Cod to man, twelve stones on Aaron's breastplate, an altar of twelve stones in the River Jordan, twelve men carried twelve stones and built an altar, twelve spies sent into Canaan, twelve sons of Jacob, twelve tribes of Israel, twelve princes of Ishmael, twelve pounds of incense brought by the wise men, twelve places at which Jesus received his education, twelve baskets of scraps gathered after feeding the multitude, twelve foun-dations for the New Jerusalem, twelve principal world proph-ets or Avatars. Many other examples of mathematics, as applied to proph-ecy, could be brought to the attention of the reader but as you are probably more interested in what may be expected, and when, we will look at the future. Truth of Science Life Is Universal Throughout All Creation The universe is filled with evolving, unfolding, progressing life. Creation begins with the formation of a planet by con-densation. After a planet has solidified and cooled, vegetable life emerges, feeds on the mineral, transmutes mineral mole-cules into vegetable cells and raises the mineral to a higher order of life and consciousness. Animals, in turn, fped on members of vegetable kingdom, change vegetable cells into animal cells, and raise them a step further in progression. Science has discovere'd that there is no definite line of de-- . markation between mineral, vegetable and animal but a grad-ual binding of one into the other. Man is essentially an animal in his physical makeup. He has been raised a step higher than the animal through the cooperation of unseen higher orders of life. As mankind ma-tures his intellect develops and with it his spirituality. With maturity consciousness develops through the stages of self, family, tribal, national and world consciousness. We are now coming into the consciousness that all men are brothers and all nations members of one great family. With the unfoldment of world consciousness cooperation amongst men and nations will increase and competition w;ll ba discarded. Then will the folly cf war be reahzed and psace cn earth, good will to all men be the order of the day. New Lens on Telescope Seeks Hot Bright Stars PASADENA, CALIF. Recent de-velopment of photographic plates sensitive to red light has led the Mount Wilson observatory to re-model its telescope for a search for distant, hot bright stars. A prism is attached to the tele-scope for studying the stars by their spectrums. The lens used with it originally was designed to focus on the blue light from stars. Dr. Frank E. Ross, optical con-sultant on the h telescope for Mt Palomar, has designed a lens for the instrument which will focus on the red and yellow end of .the spectrum. E. C. Williams of the Mount Wil-son instrument shop, developed a variable-spee- d driving device by which astronomers can press a but-ton and obtain any desired move-ment of the telescope. Most tele-scopes are kept focused on a star by a clock drive. The new device eliminates the ne-cessity of adjusting for tempera-ture changes and makes it possible, according to Dr. Paul W. Merrill, to spread out the light of a star for spectrograph studies. Some Items Of Personal Interest To Delinquent Readers.

The paper will follow" him so he may read it regularly. He has done us many a good turn. Attorney Parley P. Jensen came home from New Yo-- k to j attend the funeral of his father the late Andiew Jenson. He will remain here untill the es-tate has been probated. He made a profitable visit to this office Pra ers are answered in pe-culiar ways sometimes. A nig-ger was asked if the Lord ans-wered his prayers He replied: 'Well, when 1 ask Him to send me a chicken He don't anser But when I asks Him to lead me to it, He sure do reply." So now if some delinqent does not send u a chicken or a turkey for Christmas we will have to pray to be led to it. Sister Bert ha Jenson is now somewhat louesi. in in the old Andrew Jenson home since the demise of her husbnho.

It is said that if the Old Age Organizations and t' e pub-lic knew the real conditions at the State Capitol which the present administ rat ion inherited from the previous adminis-tration they would understand just why the state cannot in-crease the amount of old age assistance.

Vitamins found in oranges and vegetables are play-ing a new part in surgical opera-tions. "Administration of the proper vi-tamin doses before an operation is serving materially to reduce fatali-ties," says Dr. Clinton H. Thienes, pharmacology professor of the Uni-versity of Southern California. He told a meeting of the South-ern California Chapter, American College of Surgeons, that vitamin iC, obtained from oranges and other citrus fruits, increases the ability of the body to produce fibrous tissue in scar areas. Dr. Thienes added that vegeta-bles produce vitamin K, which pre-- j vents hemorrhage by inducing proper blood coagulation. Administration of these vitamins was necessary only in cases of per-sons showing a deficiency in them, he explained. A week's treatment, given through the mouth, would pre-- i pare the ordinary patient for the op-- ! eration. In an emergency, however, he said, the vitamins were injected into the veins.

Hitch-Hik- e Technique Is Taught in College - AUSTIN, TEXAS. College stu-dents in the Southwest now will' have skilled technique in thumbing rides. Keyes Carson Jr., Texas Aggie senior and president of the National Hitchhikers association, visited oth-er Texas colleges, organized chap-ters and gave instruction in sure-fire methods to get a lift. To University of Texas students Carson explained some of the aids : to getting a ride. A smile and use of a "hitch-hiker- 's arsenal," will double or triple the chances, Carson said. The first tool taken from the ar-senal, he explained, is a small tele-scope. Taking position where a clear view of the road is available, approaching cars are checked through it. Another aid is a small reflector sign held up for the motorist to see. It gives the hitch-hiker- name and where he wants to go. "Always smile when asking for a ride," he advised the students. "Every one likes to see a smile and they like to see someone who looks like an appreciative person." He has tested his equipment and approach in nearly 217,000 miles of hitch-hikin- Thrill!

Something came up the other day that brought to mind a flood of Christmas memories that thrilled us to the very depths of the soul memories that are sweet and tender, stretching overall the near and far years memories of child-hood's and boyhood's home, of father, mother, brother, sister. And then the holiest of all, memories ol wife and children and the home hallowed by love and affection. What a fine part of life they are! Please God, may they neve die. |
