ARMY MUST OBEY BLACKOUT RULES Unless Engaged In Military Mission, Soldiers Must Conform In a memorandum issued by Fourth Service command head quarters in Atlanta and reproduc ed at Camp Davis, officers and enlisted men have been advised that military personnel., unless engaged in a military mission at the time of a blackout, must con form with civilan blackout regu lations. The regional director, Office of Civilian Defense, has been re quested to take the necessary ac tion through civilian defense of ficials of each state in the ser vice command, to allow freedom of movement, during blackouts, of military personnel on duty. An individual officer or soldier, required by his mission to move through civilian areas during a blackout, will, upon being chal lenged by civilian authorities, present his proper identification and give name, rank and organi zation. The memorandum stated that military establishments are ready to investigate movements of indi viduals if it appears doubtful that they are engaged in a military mis sion. Disciplinary action will be taken, according to the memoran dum, if a person uses false cre dentials to gain freedom of move ment during a blackout. -V “Man—Lesson-Sermon For Christian Scientists “Man” was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Christian Science churches and societies on Sunday, September 6. The Golden Text was from Psalms 37:23, “The steps of a yood man are ordered by the Lord; and he delighteth in his way. Among the citations which com prsed the Lesson-Sermon were the following from the Bible: “And t-od said. Let us make rnan in our image, after our likeness: and let have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air. and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man ir his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and fe male created he them” (Genesis 1: 26, 273. The Lesson-Sermon included the following passages from the Chris tian Science textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Scrip "ures,” by Mary Baker Eddy: “Im mortal man was and is God’s im age or idea, even the infinite ex pression of infinite Mind, and im mortal man is coexistent and coe ternal with that Mind. He has been forever in the eternal Mind, God; but infinite Mind can never he in man, but is reflected by man. The spiritual man’s consciousness and individuality are reflections of God. They are emanations of Him who is Life, Truth, and Love. Im mortal man is not and never was materia], but always spiritual and eternal.” tpage 336). They’re Here . . .

EUROPEANS HEAR CHEERING WORDS Messages Of Encourage ment Sent To People Of Conquered Lands — LONDON, Sept. 6.—*.?—Mess ages of encouragement to Yugo slavs. Norwegians, and Luxem bourgers were broadcast from Britain today, urging them to con tinue resistance to the Germans and their puppet governments and promising retribution against the Nazis at the end of the war. King Peter, of Yugoslavia, in a message on his 19th birthday, asked his people at home to “fol low General Draja Mihailovich," leader of the guerrillas, and to “look with faith into the future.” “Yugoslavia." the king said, “will rise again. Our fighting forces are pounding the enemy and organizing themselves better and better for the decisive mo ment now approaching. Follow General Mihailovitch. Act only on his signal.” Premier Johman Nygaardsvold, of the Norwegian government in London, counselled his people to avoid “impudent behavior which would only endanger lives.” He said the plea was made particul arly in connection with prepara tions by the Germans and the Quisling regime to set up a nation al assembly, or “Riksthing.” Norwegian government sources predicted such a step would be proclaimed at the observance September 25-27 of the second an niversary of th^ Quisling cabinet’s accession to power. “The Gestapo and traitors now are trying to find an excuse for carrying out their plans by pro voking our countryment to com- : mit rash actions,”. Nygaardsvold said. a message broadcast on behalf of Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden urged the people of Luxem bourg to maintain their resistance to the Nazis despite the “criminal step” of incorporating them into the Reich and conscripting their young men. London sources declared this first incorporation of an entire country into the Reich could be interpreted only as an admission of an increasingly acute need for manpower to replace losses on the Russian front. Jhe broadcast to Luxembour was in line with a recent broad cast by Prime Minister Pierre du Pong. of the Luxembourg govern ment in exile, who told his fellow countrymen that “the day will come when there will be a final reckoning” and the German rul ers in Luxembourg will pay for each drop shed of innocent Lux embourg blood.” Meanwhile, Dr. Eduard Benes, president of the Provisional Czech government, opened a campaign to raise $5,000,000 to recreate af ®r tke War 1he martyred village of Lidice with a demand for post wav punishment of the German people until they are “convinced they must not start a third world war within two generations.” ,, h® . campaign is sponsored by i the Miners Federation of Britain : --V second Sight q:„hlG Gaelic “Taisch”—or second that ^La hlfih,and superstition the nh rt f Certain Persons with event^ lty-t0 R6e distant or future the Jfc- 111 the present- Although the visions presumably were invol w nf and accomPanied by a feel ^ , '?reat dread there are re cords of rites performed fo- the purpose of evoking this power -—V -rh Wawin5t0n Elm’s End The Washington Elm, under w™ch George Washington assumed command of the American Revolu tionary forces on July 3,1775, was located at Cambridge, Mass., but d ffnl,to ground on October 26, 1923 while tree surgeons were engaged in the necessary opera tions of restoring it.

VERMONT SCENE OF 1 ELECTION Only One Statewide Con test Coming Up In Poll ing This Week MONTPELIER. Vt.. Sept. 6.— i.y,—Normally as politically mind ed as the next state, Vermont could lay claim today to an al most perfect score in putting poli tics in the back seat because of the war. The state primary comes up Tuesday with only one statewide contest on the bailot—that for the Republican nomination for Ver mont's lone seat in the national House of Representatives. Rep. Charles A. Plumley, square-jawed Republican whip in Congress and a veteran of four terms, is the only candidate draw, ing opposition in this traditionally Republican state. A Vermonter for 13 years, Sam uel R. Ogden, 46-year old World War I veteran and Swarthmore graduate, orginally from Eliza beth, N. J., is challenging not only Plumley but another Vermont tradition—that of returning in cumbents to office. Since he first was sent to Wash ington in a special pimary in 1933, the 67-year old Plumley has had little trouble at the polls. He had a 3-1 margin in the 1936 primary, a 7-4 victory two years later, and was unopposed in 1940. His campaign, routine this year his consisted of distribution to the electorate of reprints from the Congressional Record and several public appearances throughout the state. Ogden is holding numerous ral lies and has distributed circulars charging that: '1) Plumiey work ed with western congressmen in support of high parity grain prices to the detriment of the Vermont farmer (2) and that he does not have the support of labor. Plumiey supporters point to his long political career and contend it would be unwise to remove him from Congress in such critical times. There is no U. S. Senatorial election in Vermont this year, and all Republican incumbents in statewide offices, from Governor William H Wills down, are up for renomination. Gubernatorial candidate Park H. Pollard, a distant relative of Calvin Coolidge, heads the unop posed Democratic slate. John B. Candon, whom Plumiey defeated in 1936, will be the November ad versary of the winner of the Plum ley-Ogden battle. -V British Subsidization Of Babies Is Proposed TUNBRIDGE WELLS, Eng land, Sept. 6.—(fl»—A proposal that Britain subsidize babies to combat the falling birth rate was made here today by Major Randolph Churchill, son of the prime minister. He suggested in a speech that the government pay 10 shillings (ahout S2.00) a week for the third and fourth in a family and for every subse quent addition. “I do not think it is general ly realized that if the present tendency continued there would be only 4,000,000 people in the British Isles in little more than a hundred years fnd Britain can not remain a great power on the basis of that popula tion.” Saying the British were “one of the most class-eon sdious and snob-ridden nations in the world,” he declared the size of families is being cur tailed deliberately because parents are afraid they would be unable to send more than one or two children to a school as good as their neighbors’ and that they would thereby lose I social prestige.
