S. sailor aboard a navy patrol boat off the Brazilian coast. Van Der Slot's two companions, Nick Hoogendam Viaar Dinger, Holland, left, and Basil Izzl, South Barry, Mass., gather up their meager belongings preparatory to being helped aboard the rescuing craft. The men, survivors of five who reached the raft after their vessel had been torpedoed, were adrift on the South Atlantic for 83 days. They existed on raw fish, fowl and rain water which they managed to catch from time to time. (Official navy photo.) PROOF THAT GOVERNMENT CAN ISSUE "CONSTITU-TIONAL" MONEY The following was sent us by James E Yates of Phoenix, ; Ariz , and shows that the government can make its own money without cost to bondholders or bankers. It appeared in The Greenbacker for March. Greenbacks Yes, Greenbacks to the amount of $660,000, 000, which was printed back in 1933, according to press reports, was released for circulation December 21, 1942. The U. S. Treasury neither taxed nor borrowed this money, and it is not backed by interest-bearin- g bonds True, this money is not counterfeit one may use it to buy shoes, meat, clothes, wheat, corn or any other product of labor. But the UNSOUND MONEY advocates say it has no collateral of any kind back of it. And the money lender cannot get any rakeoff from this sound money. LIVE EDITORIALS The "Profit" That Has Been Gained By Losing the National and World Soul Why have the years between the two wars been the most destructive in human history more destructive of the souls of men than all the wars? It is because the people gave themselves so completely to Mammon at its worst and at its best. Their chiefest error was, according to the poet-see- r, Alfred Noyes, complete indifference to the trends of society political, in-dustrial, commercial and educational, and giving their attention to money-gettin- They neglected the better things of life shattering or sneering them cut of their lives until there came the intellectual, moral and spiritual collapse. They swindled and exploited aud got gain to the limitt and ran like mad to all the pleasures of the world: They embraced the pagan idea that might and money make the only success and are the only good. So far did materialism go that American, English and French industri-alists sold arms, planes and munitions to Germany and Japan to be used ag-ainst the United Nations murderers for profit. Christ was ruled out, praised with lips but mooked with deeds, Literature was atheistic, low, ob-scene; vulgar and coarse. Mencken blatantly said: "Rabelais is nearer to God than Jesus." And Shaw said: "No man who regards Christ as an ideal is worh working with." Bertrand Russell lectured in American Uni versifies on free love and trial marriages, deriding most of the ideals of Chris-tianity. And most of the churches have put themselves in a condition that they con do little to remedy the situation. Too often their fine church-es become tombs for the pure, simple gospel of the Man of Galilee, - Public ownership of light and power has become the state policy in the state of Washington which will, undrr a law just enacted, take over all the private nterprises PeronaL We visited the Barber, How-ard Christensen and while he bad us in the chair he preach-- ; ed the gospel long and loud and we learned something. Before we left he took us into the liv- -, ing room and showed us one of his prized possessions.a fine ba-by boy, Joseph Dewey had his name entered in our Brotherhood this week. We have known him and his good wife for a long time and can testify that they are very fine people. They have a good home and a small chichen farm at 1124 Crandall Ave. And he has a good job as nightwatchman. A correction.

Stewart, Salt Lake, is in the Army Transpor-tation Corps and assigned to the San Francisco Port of Em-barkation. The Alfred Sorenson Jewel-ry business has been somewhat restricted in its service to the public because three of its most skilled workers were called into the service of the country where they are doing their lev-el best for the cause. The bus-iness goes on, doing the best work in the city. The first Utah woman to en-list as an officer candidate in the Marine Corps is Miss Lou-ise Whitworth.- - - . . Cooperative wholesale associations owned by local con-sumer cooperatives throughout the country which are in turn owned by consumers in twenty-eigh- t states reported their greatest business in cooperative history, according to a preli-minary survey just completed by The Cooperative League. Enormous Insurance Profits On the spoken and printed word of Dr. Francis W. Kirk-ha-president of the Utah Cooperative Life Insurance Asso-ciation, $4.00 is the net cost for $1,000 life insurance in Utah, ages 25 to 44 years. Believing 4his to be true then all that people of these ages pay above the $4.00 is for overhead and profit. And the profit is indeed enormous. No wonder insur-ance companies are swimming in wealth and that all good men keep their weather eye on the dividends. Cooperative insur-an- cs should reduce it to at least half of the present cost. ...

Much of the goods now produced in the shops and yards of the prison now go to use on the farfiung battlefields of the world. These men are stripping insulation from old electric cables brought to the prison from civilian scrap piles and from the battlefields themselves. p ijpyp Schools Open Drive To Buy 10,000 Jeeps THE' little jeep which is serving nobly from Guadalcanal to Africa has become the symbol of the gigantic efforts of millions of American school children in their War Savings program. Thousands of public, private and parochial schools soon will be dis-playing a certificate of honor from Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., signifying that they have paid for at least one jeep by buying $900 in War Stamps and Bonds. Countless others will be flying the Schools At War banner awarded to schools with 90 percent pupil par-ticipation in War Savings. Ten thousand jeeps and a hun-dred bombers! This is the new goal of America's schools as 30,000,000 children continue their Schools At War program under the auspices of the Treasury Department and the U. S. Office of Education. Results so far in the program re-ported by Dr. Homer W. Anderson, Associate Field Director in charge Battle Flags of the Schools of the education section of the War Savings Staff, are: More than 7,000,000 elementary and high school students" from 30,000 schools have prepared special Schools At War scrapbooks for state j and local exhibits. War Stamp and War Bond pur-chases may reach a grand total of $300,000,000 for the school year. Feel to Bless Them When we consider all the national and stats taxes, assess-ments, etc , and the regular church obligations the patient, common people have to meet, and in addition to that all they are now asked to give for the church Welfare Plan we feel to commend them and bless them. Could the full story be told of all the sacrificing efforls and good works of thes toil-ing and faitnful souls it would be an inspiring tale indeed. No leadership could possibly give them too much praise and thanks. They are the ineek and the humble, true followers of the Master. ... What Public Ownership Can Do. What public ownership of utilities has done for a com-munity is wonderfully well illustrated in the case of the town and people of Bartlett, Texas, a town of 2000 people. A live young man from a neighboring town came there to live Having been used to p iblic ownership in his home town he began agitating for i t in Bartlett. Soon he was elected Mayor and started out to get what he wanted. The power had an injunction issued against him He called the people to vote on the proposition and they sustained him 4 to 1. The muni-cipal plant cost $90,000. In the first year it showed a net profit of $11,000 In eight years it cut the debt from $90,000 to $42 000 Street lighting for which the town had been pay-ing $2400 a year, was actually supplied by the new plant for $24 a year. When all of the debt is paid the town will be able to abolish local taxes, This might be done in every Utah community. New Pennies to Replace Old Coppers ; .r ' sjp""- .. r - X c.

Many a man, together with his family, has been lifted up irom virtual slavery to a dignified position among his fellows. But the trouble is that so few have been granted the loans. Of 175,000 applications for loans only 8, COO have been granted and what these have done for the people is a wonder story indeed. If an t should have the loans, all should have them. And if they all had received them a new life would have been created in the South and the awful picture of the country's worst poverty would have been wiped out. m- Family News Kenneth Lund and Howard Lund, sons of Mr. and Mrs. A.

The Monkey Has It Over Man "They tell me men from monkeys came, With this I might agree, But, gosh all Friday, it's a shame, or seemeth so to me, Tockss a monkey with a man. Here I arise to say, It isn't fair, denounce the plan; I just stand for fair play. What has a monkey ever done to merit such abuse? He lives as Nature's loving son; Fashions no creeds obtuse. He doesn't smoke, he dosen't chew, Nor drink white mule or beer. And to his mate he's kind and true; nor rules his child with fear. He doesn't work for any boss, Out in his forest wild, But shares his ga ns likewise his loss, With kindred undefiled. The monkey, far as I can ee, Has lived life as he should. You say man came from monkey?. ..Bah! The theory is no good. At least. ..if it is really true, Get ready, pack your sack, Fori am sure that I can show, We really should go back." Ex.

Hansen's Ideas There appears to be two groups of human beings that are not wanted in this modern world babies and the aged people in need. The Master said, "suffer little children to come unto me." But the landlord of today says, "not so Lord, you can bring your dog along, but not the little children ; there is no room for you with them." Again we find the Master saying, "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." But a number of the legislators who voted against the Old Age welfare bill, don't seem to un-derstand or comprehend what the Master meant. With prices rising as they are, many of the needy are in dire distress. There is no need for this with more than a million dollars in the bank from rhe sales tax, which is accumulating every dav. We haqe the names of all the "No" voters on record. We have a 'secret weapon" the ballot box. We expect to um it some day, and get the scalps of these. |
