RATIONING
What la rationing?
Rationing Is not star
vation or shoddy goodg
It is a government
plan for dividing fair
ly the supplies we
have among all who
need them. It is not
\in-American; the ear
liest settlers of this
country pooled their
precious supplies and
gave them out to every
one on equal basis. It
was an American idea
then, and it is an
American idea now to
share when supplies
are not plentiful,

The fact that Uncle
Sam calls his people
to arms against the
aggressors of the
world is no sign that
ho still doesn’t moan
for the citizens of
this nation to consid
er their health as the
key to victory and the
disease of their bod
ies as an’open door to

this land where there
Is a beacon of hope to
these lands v;horo the
lights have temporari

Music, His First Love
After being crippled In a train accidont, Josef Schlr-
mor, believing that no audience v;ould wish to llston to an
artist who hobbled onto the stage with the aid of a crutch,
withdrew to tho mountains to live again with his friends,
the trees, and the hills. To keep loneliness from creeping
upon him Josef, v;hen he first came back to tho mountains,
began making violins. As the year slipped by, the old man
became an excellent violln-maker,'for his love for music
went into every instrument ho mado.
To produce a fine garden and to havo a good herd of
goats came to mean as much to Josef as had once the per
formance of a brilliant sonata. Yet, whenever music im
pelled him, the hills served as an audionce for his con
cert, soft and melancholy at tho beginning, but always end
ing on a gayer note, y/hile tending his goats on tho moun
tainside, Josef composed three dances, "Tvrlllght", "Davm",
and "r.Ioonglov/”,
For seven years no ono had ventured to the top of tho
mountain whore stood the cabin of the musician. Now,
there sat a quiet, little man trying to convince Josef
that all Vienna wanted again to hoar his music. Josef
then showed him the exquisitely carved violin, his master
piece. There were on tho back three tiny initials, the
initials of the groat violinist who had been searching for
him seven years. Yes, Josef, once more able to v/alk with
out the crutch, was to present tho gift to 'the groat lady
and to thrill again the city with his music, S.M, Parmer
