ITe hear em great deal of dl.ci»>
•ion about the repugnancy df abeent»
eeleiB among ciTilian workers in war
induatriea • and rightly ao • for
any one who doea not want to do hia
uteoat in Uncle Sam'a atruggle to
maintain freedom deaerrea to be
aeorned by eeery red-blooded Aneri-
can.
It'e pretty eaay for we ollTe-
drabbed indivlduala to rear back on
our hind lega and roar that thoae
dirty ao and aoa ahould be given a
year of atraight KP for not keeping
up their end of thia war buaineaa.
But on the other 'band not all
civilian war workera ave alaekera -
nilliona of them never s^aa a minute
from their work • and we wonder if
they don't have a gripe cooing too -
couldn't they proteat that abaent -
eeiam in the Army ia juat plain Gold*
bricking?
Couldn't they proteat that they
are working day and night, giving
pleaaurea. welcoming rationing ao
that you can take your place among
the beat fed. beat clothed and beat
trained aoldiera in the world?
You who are wearing the unifom
of your country who lie awake nighto
thinking up waya to eaoape detail
work, who think it ia ammrt to get
out of work or vrtio are juat plain
lacy, belong in the acme claaa with
war workera who refuae to nan their
joba. If anyone thinka that thia
war can be won merely by men put -
ting on unifoma • they are really
off the beam. Winning thia war ia
going to demand hard work and figh^
ing by every American regardleaa of
where he ia. There'a not going to
be much time to atand around and
critite the other fellow if we are
all in there pitching.
The next time you atart regia-
taring dlaguat at the aeeningly
ahlftleaa way eoaie civiliana regard
thr - war work - juat remember, if
you are doing your full quota of
work - you're every reason to gripe
to high heavens. But you Goldbriel^*

War has taken most of the young
men away from their hooes.They have
been deprived many rights that men
enjoy during peace time.Every right
taken awgy from man in our aray is
not really taken awagr, but literally
borromed. Righte that have been tin
ken have been done reluctantly, but
the American way is to give tham
back when victory and peace are
atmrmdg
De^>ite the fact that most of
tim things that John Jones did, or
that Tom Smith had, were borrowed
for aidtile, the one thing that cai^
not and will not be taken away is
ths fdn, thrill and enjoyaeot of
eo^titive ^orts.
Hundreds of msn realise this
very ii^rtant factor idiich makes
our simy one of the h^jpiest and
healthiest of all armies.The Sports
CHAPUIN J. D. QUICK
Looking in on ths worieshop of
one of his friezids, the viUags bl-
scksslth,Henry Wadsworth LongfsUow
rsceived ths inspiration for ons of
his great poems,"Ths ViUsgs Hlanki-
smith."
In the work of thia hu^ls mao
the poet found a great lesson, tbs
sssenes of idiicb bs gives in tbs
last verse.
"Thanks, Thanks, to that, mj wortlgr
friend.
For ths lesson thou hast taught
Thus kt tbs flsmiag forge of life
Our fortunes must be wrought;
Thus on its sounding anvil sh^>ed
Each burning deed and thought."
Ths anvil is ringing today as
never before with the sound of the
forging of the destiny of the world,
•Ve are forging the pattern of
our own lives. How often they need
to be thnist into the flaming forge
of Communion and the fellowship
with God, that they may not break
under the terrific strain of the an
vU upon which they are wrou^.
The fact that we are busy foz^
glng the life of a world doea not
mean we should neglect the bellows
of spiritual conminion with God,but
is all the more reason why we should
turn often to that bellows that tha
coals of Ckrist lovs shall be&md
into glowing embers by the presence
and power of Hia Holy Spirit.
Arena at Seymour Johnson Field is
loaded with fellows who enjoy the
tour of a basketball floor, idie in
dulge in boadng, weightlifting, and
a nuoAjer of other games.
It is not all countries that
will permit soldiers to spend their
spare tine playing and coi^ting
against each other, it is not all
countries that permit basketball
tourneys like the recent one held
hetw. But the United States permits
and pronotes eoa^etttlon, atcqply
because it helps to ke^ the msn
happy, healthy and witty, and se^
ondly because it is the real Aasri-
esn way of doing things.
Juat recently a natioi^wida
boxing program has bssn stsrtsd by
ths Army. Chai^ions from various
fields will travsl Aron cany) to cup
and psrh^js from stats to stats,
sesklng laurels In thsir rsapective
sport.
According to an article written
in Berlin,the Americans are allowed
too moeh sxtra-eurrieular activity,
but ths Nazi who wrote that article
is all "wet". Every red-blooded Ask
erlcan knows that Sports in our co
untry is not extra-curricular, but
part of our svaryday life.
Even men in the fitting sones
find a little time to relax troa wv
by playing gamee. Pilots usually
pitch horse-shoes before taking off
on a dangerous mission. Lssrnlng to
play gsmss, learning to think, is
what is our Army, Navy and
Uarinaa ths most coordinated flut
ing force in the world.
Ths Russian people doubtlese
now are giving Arihaasador Standley
good measure - a million thanks for
thousands of tanks.

Tou wake up in ths morning,
£^s and heart aglow.
After s shave and shins up.
To pay-call you go.
A entrt aaluts and out-strstchsd paw
And you collect your due.
But before you've reached the ^r,
Tou've parted with a few.
When you reach the out-aide,
Tou feel that you are freef
But ereditore ewars upon you
And leave you only three.
Tou shoot them in a crap gams,
So sure that you will paee;
But enske djsa stare you in the face.
Tou feel you've breathed your last
A 'fiver' to see throu||i the month,
Xs borrowed from a friend.
Oh Nell, only thirty deys to go
dad you'll be rlefa a^in.
