MARVELOUS ADVANCE OF WAR SURGERY Science and surgery has made a wonderful advancement since World War 1, according to the Navy's Bureau of Medi-cine and Surgery. It gives out the information that only 7 of 4,000 land, sea and air casualties treated in the South Pacific and Australia had fatal results. This is amazing. When we consider that many of the men were badly wounded it Is almost miraculous that only seven died. It is an as-tounding testimonial of the care given our fighting men in their fight against battle wounds. The report came from a group of medical officers on a hospital ship operating in the Solomons wars zone. It was based upon treatment of men injured by machine gun and rifle bullets, shell fragments, severe bums, skull fractures, penetrations of the chest and abdomen and infections. Speedy removal of the wounded from battle areas and excellent medical care, including the use of the sulfa drugs, explains the results. , C. V. Hansen PeronaL WHAT ONE GOOD MAN THINKS OF THE PAPER Friend Lund . Some unknown friend was kind enough to start p. subscription for your highly . valued paper. I was unacquaint-- I ed with it until it started com- - ing to my home. I would miss it too greatly if it stopped com-in- g so here is $1.50 to apply on subscripton. I admire your vision to see, your faith to believe and your courage to say and do, particu-larly in these perilous times. It is an awful price this world is now paying to learn the sim-ple lesson that peace, happi-ness and plenty can come and be maintained only Hmong men of good will, that the Golden Rule is the highest rule of life in all its relations! I pray that when the price is paid this time we may learn the simple lesson Sincerely Yours, Heber Q. Hale. W. A. Hudson hereby extends his s'neere thanks to the Utah Light & Traction Co., for the fair, just and courteous treatment accorded him be-cause of an accident on one of the bus lines. Hugh Lund, son of Mrs. N. L. Lund, was operated on at a local hospital for a bad case of appendicitis Monday. Condi-tion fair AN INSPIRATIONAL HOUR You can't always measure inspiration by large audiences. An audience of two, Sam F. Kiefer, konwn as Peter Spray-nozxl- e, and the editor met to-gether for an hour Monday and it was about as inspirational a meeting as one can get. We talked and we read, and the talk and the reading was of the right kind. His spirit wa3 there. To her Mr. Keif er talk you would think he was a man of the cloth. He is more inspira-tional than many of them. His heart is right. And its not all talk with him. He sometimes drops a dollar into the hand he is shaking. If we were on a torpedoed ship and could get a hand and a word about the Man of Gal lee from Peter Spra nozzle and Joe Bush we mifht walk forth on the water to safe-ty. He'writf s a very good col-umn for the Labor News. Our good Friend of many past years Charles H. Cam-man- s, laid down life's burden last Monday at 79. While he was able he was a frequent vis-itor to this office. He believed n and tried to live tlie Golden Rule and may that be his pass port through the gates ajar. Time for many to take a pen in and and make a check or a money order for that subscrip-tion. Better still, come up to room 217 in the David Keith Bldg. Come today. We need it.

Among the first radicals, or agitators, in America were some good people who looked upon the child slavery of the years between 1835 and 1842, as a sin and a disgrace. It was at the time when factory owners were making their fortunes out of the bodies and souls of little children from five to twelve years of age, working them from sun up to dark. As one says they were making profits out of little coffins because thousands of the children were stricken with the white plague consumption because of confinement and the death rate was alarming. These radicals, opposed by "respectable" society, kept agitating until in 1842 they secured a law in Massachusetts prohibiting the employment of children under 12 in factories for more than 10 hours a day. That was the first step toward the prevention of sla-very in the land of the free. Many of the fortunes of the heirs and heiresses were stained with innocent blood, and against their palatial homes rich furs and costly raiment, feeble voices cried out from thousands of sick beds where the little sufferers lay in their last agonies; and from ten thousand little graves came mute evidence that child murder was one of the foundation stones of the fortunes they were enjoying. But what matter it if humans perish just so pro-fit continue to flow? Jap Prisoners in South Pacific Camp q Yf . i i! b - ... . .''".: I wl i --j. . .

High Lights of Proposed Security Plan How any man or group can take exceptions to this splendid program is beyond our understanding. The presi-dent was for social security and old age pensions in the New York legislature many years before any other plan was thought of. He has worked and planned in the Master's way, 'Tor inasmuch as you have done it unto the least of these, ye have done it unto me." SOCIAL SERVICES 1. Benefit payments to workers under Social Security who become ill or disabled. 2. Federal aid to qualified yourths who desire college training. 3. Extension of Secial Security to some classes now exempt. 4. Aid to local communities to build hospitals as part of a broad health program, including Government with the medical profession in a plan for patients to' pay medical expenses on a "budget plan." 5. Greater assistance to the aged, blind, and other "groups receiving public assistance. 6. Free lunches for all school children. WAR TO PEACE ECONOMY 1. Guarantee every man released from armed forces or war plants a job with "fair pay and working conditions." 2. Continue rationing and other wartime restrictions so long as necessary. 3. Give labor "responsibility in organization and shar-ing in management." 4. Consolidation of railroads into a limited number of regional systems. 5. Government-privat- e partnership in some plants and facilities, with. Government deciding what concerns should be left operating in such fields as aircraft, ship-buildin- g, aluminum, and magnesium.

Only Means of True Economic Salvation The manner of life set forth by the Master is the only means of economic salvation for the individual and the nation the only solution for the social problems of today. His high emphasis on the worth of the individual proves that the exploitation of the many for the benefit of the few is the very opposite of His teachings. Nearly 2000 years ago He gave to humanity a key which, if properly used will unlock all the doors to the finest and best that humanity can desire, and will shut out every form of tyranny and bondage. Nothing whatever that is contrary to his teachings can be right in politics and business. But how do they fare who give literal interpretation to His teachings as applied to economis men who have the vision of His way of life? They are too often treated with scorn and ridicule. But the fact that they are often so treated should not in the least deter them from their efforts to lead the people to higher and better ways of living. The whole program of the Man of Galilee has been ham-strun- g all the way by the influence of materialism. Every age, and the present age the worst of all, is so steeped in materialism, so tied to the flesh pots of Mammon that the people are shut out from the vision, not so much because of the acts of the Common people but because of the spiritual, moral and in-tellectual deficiences of leaders in every field of activity.

Picture round sta. arriving in New York en route to the truck CCC camp, w nouse lhem. ford Springs, Conn. Camp Connors, former Some Truth About The War Here you have the plain, unvarnished truth Washington and the war. It is all true what the editor quoted says except the phrases "decent Americans," and "Christian gentlemen." Read and ponder. William Allen White, after his recent visit to Washing-ton, wrote an editorial in his Emporia (Kan.) "Gazette" about what he learned there. "It is silly to say New Dealers run this war show, it's run largely by absentee owners of amalgamated industrial wealth, men who either directly or through their employees control small minority block closely organized, that manipu-late the physical plants of these trusts. "Also, for the most part, these managerial magnates whom one meets in Washington are decent Americans. For the most part they are giving to the American people superb service. If you touch them in nine relations of lite out of 10, they are kindly, courteous, Christian gentlemen. (How come?) "But in the tenth relation where it touches their own organization, they are stark mad, ruthless, unchecked by God or man, paranoiacs, in fact, as evil in their designs as Hitler. They are determined to come out of this war victors for their own stockholders This attitude of the men who control the great commodity industries and who propose to run them according to their own judgment and their own morals, does not make a pretty picture for the welfare of the common man. "These international combinations of industrial capital are fierce troglodyte animals with termendous power no social brains. They hover like the old Silurian reptiles about our decent, more or less, Christian civilization like great dragons in this modern day when dragons are supposed to be dead." I Wii2l Is Ir.f'aiion? Do you have excess cash? You will answer, "No." But the fact remains that you do. For almost every wage earner these days has an income, in checkbook or pocketbook, well above the cost of his living, taxes, insurance and debt re-payments. You never actually "bid" against anybody for a porter-house steak, but when you take the spending of all average Americans as a group, it's a different story. So it is Im-portant that excess money be saved rather than used collec-tively to bid up prices. If it is spent, instead of saved, prices soar. . . That's inflation. Ideally, It should be invested In Government securities dur-ing the Second War Loan. "They give their lives ... You lend your money." |
