part in the much-needed work in
the zones behind the Japanese lines.
"The only danger there is from Jap
anese bombings," Dr. Leonard said
dismissing the danger lightly in the
face of the great need for aiding suf
fering China.
"What is China's reaction to Am
erican policy which makes a pre
tense of aiding China and at the
same time allows Japan materials
and gasoline for waging war against
the Chinese0 Dr. Leonrd was asked
' Despite the appalling conditions,
they understand that policy better
than we dc in America," he declared
"Patient even in death, the Chinese
realize that the United States was
not r?ady for a showdown, so to

before the Germans planned to
launch a supreme assault, and result

In the face of Russian victory
claims. Adolf Hitler boasted to the
world this morning that Russia is
beaten and that she will never raise
her head again He explained that
the Russian campaign was launch

a drive on England.
The German claimant admitted,
hov^ever. that he did riot know Rus
sia's war preparations when he start
ed the drive, but declared that the
difficult situation had been handled
He also admitted that the Russian
campaign would last a long time.. In
addition to his broad Russian claim
he declared that Nazi production was
now sufficient to more than match
that of all other nations, including
United States output. The madman
stated that two and one-half million

Russian campaign is one of life and

been strongly denied, and it is ap

One way of aiding suggested by
Mrs JoVncr was in a crusade for
better health for our people. The
general condition of the health of the
nation was discovered by the draft
examiners and they claim the great
percentage of disabilities could be
overcome by medical attention and
nutrition.

dent, outlined the year's program,
urging departmental chairmen and
presidents to support the adoption of
hobbies that would tend to aid de

slup between the home and women's
clubs She urged the adoption of the
Roosevelt-Churchill program, and
- supported the Robert Lee Humber
Declaration of Federation of the
World
Supporting the defense program,
Mrs. Beasley said that the Federa
tion's music department was sending
out thousands of song booklets car
rying patriotic and religious songs
for cohunumty sings. In its litera
ture .the Federation is urging more
reading along the good neighbor pcl
tey nil I only US 1" th" n-illnnn til the
South, but also as to the world. In
this national emergency, she called
for a greater patriotism, urging that
places lie given to flags, to inspire
our people and to tell them what the
flag means
The Federatjon's stand on educa
tion of which department Mrs B. B
Kverett is chairman, was clearly stat
d when Mrs Beasley called for a
nine-months State-supported school
system, county library services and
a system to stamp out illiteracy. She
pointed out the high rate of illiter
acy among draft registrants, and
urged each club to take action
agauist illiteracy by rendering as
sistance to youth.
Freedom and justice to all was al
so stressed when the club official
called for better homes, better health
and better food, regardless of race,
color or creed. A "touchy" subject,
but one that needs attention, was
mentioned when Mrs. Beasley asked
that (he hours and possibly the wages
of domestic servants be investigated.
Among its planned work for the
new year, the Federation will give
attention to cancer control, child wel
fare. health, labor conditions, child
relief, and assistance to naroli?a.

resources. v
In a special Fire Prevention Week

asks that you do not fool around
with cleaning fluids; don't leave oil
soaked rags to accumulate in closets
or garage; don't throw matches or
cigarette butts around; don't smoke
in bed; don't have the curtains blow
ing near the range. Simple precau
tions like these, if observed by ev
