Juiff because th synthetic rub-ber program hat been upped to 1,100,000 tons production capac-ity by the end ot 1943, the chances of car owners getting synthetic tires before 1944 have not been Increased. War needs will take the bulk of the syn-thetic. In normal times, say 1940, the aver-age car owner expended only $15 a year for tire and tube replacements. He spent $ 1 1 7 for gasoline and $ 10 for oil out of his annual $159 ex-penditure for car maintenance, ex-clusive of heavy repairs. Picture 16,000 automobile tires and you have an Idea of the amount of rubber used In the construction of a battleship 75 tons.

It is also the world's largest youth organi-zation, with more than 14,000,000 members in the United States. The principal duty of the Junior Red Cross in war time is the mak-ing of comfort and recreational articles for our service men ev-erywhere. During the past year, Junior Red Cross members made more than 3,000,000 such articles, such as games, recreation room furniture and writing kits. The Junior Red Cross has also taken a very active part in the making of many essential articles for Civilian Defense organizations throughout the nation. These items included splints, stretchers, and first aid cabinets. "Earn, buy, make, give," are the four steps all Junior Red Cross members take in raising and using the money they get in their national enrollment drive. They must earn the money to buy the mate-rials to make the articles to give to the hospital, army camp or Civilian Defense organization. Junior Red Cross members have also been very active in salvage campaigns of all kinds throughout the nation, contributing more than half of the salvage gathered by children of school age throughout the country. In addition to furnishing oppor-tunity to learn by making these articles for service men and oth-ers, the Junior Red Cross affords children of school age basic train-ing in civilian preparedness so that they may take their places later on in the volunteer activities of the Red Cross or the Office of Civilian Defense.

Wendell Willkie recently told a Canadian audience that he was afraid peace might come without a definite plan for the future. He has a right to have this fear, for nothing seems more likely than that peace will be achieved, and by victory, before that definite map of the future world order is generally approved. The reasons for this are not hard to find. Willkie is anxious for a statement of war aims NOW not only because of his anxiety for the future after the war but because he thinks such an agreement on the future plans would actually help to bring about victory. India would be the best illustration of his idea. Well before the end of the last World war Woodrow Wilson laid down a definite program for the fu-ture in his famous 14 points. There are many who believe the state-ment of these points, while hostili-ties still raged, helped to bring about the collapse of morale in Germany which resulted in the armistice. Wilson's 14 points, for the most part, were vague as to precisely how his for small peoples would work out in geograph-ical boundaries. No one now de-fends the Versailles treaty, but is it conceivable that anybody or any group of high minded people, sitting around a table, and with any reason-able length of time at their disposal, could have worked out a solution which would not have resulted in untold grief, bitterness' and the seed for future wars? Shrouded in Vague Statements Now suppose, with the best inten-tions in the world, this country and Britain and Russia and China should attempt to state precisely what they proposed to do about local government in the various parts of the world, once victory was achieved. It is perfectly true that such a statement, if believed, would inspire some peoples now almost disinter-ested in the outcome to show enthusiasm for victory by the Unit-ed Nations. But is it not also true that just as surely a lot of peoples in various parts of the world would find themselves in revolt against the program? That is the reason that so many practical statesmen, foreseeing the give and take which must come at the peace table, want to keep every statement of war aims shrouded in vague statements of generally ac-cepted principles. It All Depends Who Is Using Tactics! Despite a lot of indignation throughout the country at the suc-cessful filibuster against the poll tax prohibition law, and despite the confident announcements of Senator Claude Pepper, of Florida, and oth-ers, that they would move immedi-ately to amend the rules of the sen-ate so as to make filibusters impos-sible, this will not be done. When the time comes it will be found that many senators who were anxious to pass this bill which has just been talked to death will hesi-tate to make the tactics ty which they were defeated impossible. Next time it might easily be some-thing THEY wanted to kill! Most people, speaking theoretically, think that this power which a few sena-tors can exercise to defeat any new measure, is wrong. They say that it is not democratic that the will of the majority should prevail. There are two sides to that one, but only one is important in this dis-cussion. The other one is that the purpose of the Founding Fathers, as Senator Borah used to call them, was to provide one legislative body which would respond quickly to the popular will. That was the house of representatives. The other, the senate, was deliberately removed from danger of immediate public reprisal. Until 1912, the senators were not even elected by the peo-ple, but by the state legislatures. The idea of course in protecting the senators from IMMEDIATE re-moval was to provide a breathing spell before any radical change in the laws could be put into effect. But the important side to the pres-ent situation, involving the power lodged in any small but vocal num-ber of senators to prevent the speedy passage of a bill, is very seldom, indeed, a weapon by which a minor-ity defeats a majority. In all the history of senate filibusters stu-dents have found few cases where actually the majority will was thwarted it was usually the case that privately a majority of senators WANTED the filibuster to succeed. It is impossible of proof, but any reasonable reporter can satisfy him-self in a few days' investigation that the recent filibuster against the bill to prohibit poll taxes had the secret approval of more than a ma-jority of the senate. Is that democratic government to permit our elected representa-tives to accomplish their will with-out taking the responsibility? The senators do not think so. But a majority of them were very much afraid of minority groups m their own states. And THAT smacks more of minority rule than the power of a group of senators to talk a bill to death. Actually, s of the sena-tors can force action on ANY meas-ure within a reasonable length of rule. So it time by the cloture takes a minority of at least one-thir- d plus one to make a filibuster StThat rule will not be "liberal-ized."

Other Pursuits For the fiftieth time the two rather careful boxers had fallen into a clinch. "Turn out the lights!" shouted a voice from the gallery. "Them two lovin' 'earts want to be alone!" "Leave the lights alone!" shout-ed another voice. "I want to read!" BIG GAME That's Moving Up "I see they're using alcohol to make tires now instead of whisky." "I see. The effect has changed from reeling to rolling." Some people are like a broken horn: They just don't give a hoot. Turkey in the Straw "On the right form platoon!" roared the sergeant. The recruits carried out some kind of maneuver which left the sergeant speechless. He looked at them for a moment. Then his voice returned and no words can describe the tone of it. "All right now take your part-ners for the dance." Untouchable "What kind of a fellow is Smythe?" "Well, if you ever see a man trying to borrow money from an-other, the fellow shaking his head is Smythe." Time Out An aspiring politician had a speech written for him by a friend, who includ-ed instructions in the manuscript for the speaker. The would-b- politician duly deliv-ered himself of the oration and, when loud applause was accorded a statement he read out, he turned over a page and immediately convulsed the audience by adding: "Here blow your nose and take a drink of water."

Cover slices of brown bread, first with butter, then with raisins which have been seeded and minced finely. Put two slices together with wafer-lik- e pieces of juicy apple be-tween. Fish and seafood should be used as soon after purchasing as pos-sible. To store fish, wrap it in wax paper and place just under the frozen food compartment. Vaseline will prevent patent leather from cracking. Rub a lit-tle on your shoes before venturing out in the cold. If a tablecloth is badly rub the stains with ordi-nary washing blue some time be-fore the cloth is to be washed. Then boil as usual and both blue and stains will disappear. When cream will not whip, add the white of an egg and stand the bowl for one hour in a vessel of cold salt water. It will then whip easily, and the white of egg will add considerably to the bulk of the cream without affecting the flavor. An oven meal is often a fuel saver if foods are selected which require the same temperature in cooking. Although such a meal necessitates a longer cooking pe-riod, not only may the whole meal be cooked at the same time but a number of foods may also be pre-pared for meals to follow. It is a good idea to list such menus in a notebook and refer to it from time to time. Belief in Future A little more courage of our storm - driven ancestors would stand us in good stead. 1 have wondered where the Puritans got their courage. They were strong men with an unshaken belief in God and their destiny. They be-lieved in the future. We, too, must believe in the future of our coun-try. It is worth fighting for. It is worthy of our confidence. Courage and enterprise will win. Anon. |
