BILL OF RIGHTS
Ii ls hoped that all personal preju
dices and party affiliations will be
forgotten on Monday night. Decem
ber 15 and that every American citi
zen who is free to do so will Usten
to the President as he speaks to the
nation on the BUI of Rights. This
year marks the 150th annlveraary
of the adoption of these first ten
amendments to our Constitution
which are our American counterpart
to the Mosaic Ten Commandments
To us It seems a peculiarly happy
coincidence that Sunday. December
14. the day before the President
speaks, should be the date of the
annual observance of Universal Bi
ble Sunday, when m thousands of
churches and in hundreds of broad
casts. including special messages on
three of the great networks, the
people oi. the nation will be remind
ed of the part the Bible played in
the founding of our nation and the
immeasurable influence the Bible
wields in the world today where it
is loved and honored in practically
every nation and more and more as
the darkness deepens is being sought
as the only hope of peace and un
derstanding.
There would have been no Bill of
Rights had there been no Bible. Once
during the Constitutional Conven
tion .someone complained that the
Declaration of Independence con
tained nothing original. Thomas
Jefferson, who wrote it. replied that
he did not consider that he was to
invent any new ideas. He was sim
ply lo put. in appropriate phrases [
the convict
Revolution.
How everlastingly right he was! t
He belonged to the latest of several
generations of people whose thoughts ;
in all ..clous matters had been chan
v! "t by ???at pronouncements
of H ,ly Writ. These convictions
:: ? r e:vved equal and

OIL MAY WIN WAR
Oil may win the war!
With the Nazi drive toward the
rich Russian fields apparently stop
ped?and How!?and with Oermanv
reserve supplies too small for their
own safety, Japan may find herself
balked by lack of fuel for her war
machine.
Incidentally, it would be interest
ing to know just what U now passing
' through the mind* ot lixwr officials
who perasted so ton* in an appease
ment policy with the Utile yellow
rats of the Mikado, and unul com
paratively recently sold them ship
load after shipload of the all im
portant fluid
Without Clio*- .shipments. .Inptui
wo.ild liave bogged down in China.
1 long since. Without those shipments
! -lie would not liave dared launched
| her treacherous attack on this coun
j try.
Japan i>as been building up reserve
.supplies of oil and gasoline. at the
expense of this nation How much
they have on hand is not definitely
; known.
It is known, however, that it la
not enough
Meanwhile, although our own re- |
serves are enormous, and our sup
ply practically unlimited, the needs
of our armed forces make it neces
sary that every motorist should use
gas and oil sparingly
Oasoline and oil should be used for
business puiposes. only.
This country leads the whole
world in oil supplies in the ground.?
in oil production and in refining
capacity.
However some of these fields, soot;'
of these refineries, may be bombed
before we are through.
It Ls often said that war won the
first world war for the allies. This
time, it is even more important, due
to the vastly expanded mechaniza
tion of our armies
We '.iave plenty?but let's don't
waste a drop
DRAFT EXEMPT?
Those "lucky few" who escaped
the draft through mino: ailments,
are not going to be lucky much long
er.
With the declaration of war on
Japan, and the urgent and immedi
ate need for manpower. Army and
Navy officials have decided to over
look slight cases of flat-feet and
varicose veins.
After all. they figure, a man in a
tank doesn't have to do much march
ing. and fitting in a tank is not det
rimental to either ailment.
There are. too. plenty of other
jobs around an army camp that do
not require such physical fitness as i
marching. I
There are K. P. duty and clean- ,
ing up barracks.
Ordinarily that work would be j
dona by regulars. It would keep many |
of our beet men from the scene of |
action.
This is no time to quibble and
whine ibout ailments that wouldn't
keep a school girl away from classes.
All ol us?even the disabled?
:!'iUld be villing to do whatever we
an to promote the afetv of our;
