(jg) Leonard Eiserer, USNR Associate Editor: Orville Campbell, Y2c An Editorial Remember decemberl “I complained that I had no shoes— until I met a man who had no feet.” Sounds kinda queer doesn’t it? Yet that is the way a lot of us feel about this war, about our responsibilities. We still take great de light in complaining because we can’t get all the gas we want, or the best of food, or the best of a lot of things that we took for granted before Pearl Harboi*. We don’t like it, some of us, because we have to pay more taxes than ever before. Then, too, these War Bond Drives. Some how, some of us may feel that, just because we’re in the service, we should be excluded from investing our money in the greatest government in the world. That is democracy, they say—exercising the privilege of doing as much or as little as we please. Perhaps it is, but it’s a kind of blindness .'to our own self-interest that may well jeopardize all we’re fighting for, as well as lengthen this wai*. Pearl Harbor Day comes on December 7th, and with it comes the hope that this station will be 100 per cent in the purchase of bonds. Such a record would do honor to this Activ ity, to the Sixth Naval District, and to the Naval Air Primary Training Command. Fur thermore, it would give, all of us security in the future for which we fight. That fellow who gave a leg in Sicily a couple of months ago will never get it back. What you invest in War Bonds will be re turned with interest. Think it over. “I complained that I had no shoes— until I met a man who had no feet.” Sunday Divine Services Protestant 1000 Memorial Hall Roman Catholic 0616 Gerrard Hall 1000 Hill Music Hall Jewish 1000 Graham Memorial * * *' Chaplain’s Office Hours; Daily, 0830-1700; Monday and Wednesday, 0830-1800.

Am not home yesterday yet.” All Up and All Out An Englishman asked the British Ministry of Labor and National Service for permission to start work every morning at eight instead of seven. He didn’t want to be a slacker, he said, but he needed the extra hour to “get the baby up to granny’s.” Asked why his wife would not take care of the baby, he explained that she had to get to her job in an aircraft factory at six. As for granny, when asked why she could not come and pick up the baby earlier, the man replied: “Granny doesn’t get off the night shift herself until seven.” Coals to Newcastle When a British sailor at the Hollywood Canteen complained about a sore throat, a solicitous hostess asked, “Have you ever tried gargling with salt water?” “You’re asking me—who’s been torpedoed three times?” This Modern Age In a postscript to a letter in which he had made some large requests of Santa Claus, a little boy wrote: “If you can’t handle this deal, let me know and I’ll get in touch with Henry Kaiser,^’ The Sheltered Life A lad from a nearby air base came into Hanford, California, sat down at a lunchroom counter and ordered a hamburger with onions. Told that it was meatless Tuesday, he sighed. “Gosh, I’ve been in the army so long I’d for gotten there’s a war on.” Movie Schedule Nov. 27—Free movie at Village Theatre, “Cabin in the Sky” with Lena Horne and Rochester.
