Ceiisorship
While publication of some news is pro
hibited under voluntary censorship, the
press of America remains now in wartime
the freest in the world.
We have just received the revised cen
sorship code from the office of censorshii)
and from this code we are able to. tell you
the why of some of the restrictions on
news.
At first thought you would consider it
harmless to say that Johnnie Jones was
with artillery regiment number so-and-so
in Australia. That looks like information
which would do nobody any service.
But if you were an enemy agent skilled
in securing information, you could take
many such items and make out the full pic
ture of the strength, equipment and train
ing of General MacArthur’s forces in Aus
tralia and could estimate the strength and
type of troops required to defeat them—
all because of innocent looking little news
paper items.
But to say that Johnnie Jones is in Aus
tralia, without any reference to his out
fit number, discloses no information. The
enemy, of course, knows we have troops
there, but we certainly hope the enemy
does not know the full and exact strength
-o# the troops or their equipment. Censor
ship is for the purpose of preventing this
news reaching the enemy.
There should be no news of troop move
ments. To say that Pvt. Jones will sail
from New York on a certain day is an in
vitation for nazi subs to trp t.o prevent Pvt.
Jones and thousands of others from reach
ing their destination.
Put In Their Places
What this country needs to win the war
in the shortest possible time is more men
in government jobs like William K. Jef
fers, temporarily “rubber czar.”
The Army and Navy want rayon in hea
vy duty tires because it is stronger. “Cot
ton senators” are trying to delay its use—
figure out your own reasons as to why.
As usual, some committee members
tried to put anyone opposing them on the
spot. But when they got through with Mr.
Jeffers they were put in their places a.s
“public servants,” not privileged charac
ters playing politics in war time for their
own gain.
Mr. Jeffers delivered a deserved rebuke
to the “business as usual” politicians when
he told them the chief job of everyone, in
cluding members of Congress, ‘“is to win
the war.”
He then said that if the Army and Na
vy want reinforced tires, that is what they
are going to get now and not at some in
definite date in the future.
Every business man who has felt Senate
committee pressure, and every loyai
American who wants to see this war won
as soon as possible, will cheer the words,
speed and spirit of Mr. Jeffers. The for^
mer Union Pacific chief is used to getting
things done. Give us more administrator.^
of the same kind.
Take Another Look
Take another look at the Christmas
Seals this year. They have a new mean
ing now, a martial meaning. Little though
they are, they have a place among ships,
planes, tanks and jeeps.
In all past wars tuberculosis has in
creased. History has begun to repeat it
self. Already tuberculosis is increasing in
a number of overcrowded areas through
out the country.
Unless histoiy can be rewritten this
time, tuberculosis will kill more Ameri
cans throughout the duration than will be
ih
to llw last four yasws, ,,
jrfltirf 10,000 more pen»8 IBI
than were killed
wounds received in ihtfon
combined that IMS coantrykas engai
from tiie Revqluntionary Ww up to Dee. 7,
1941. ■ ‘
The combined efforts of the ti^eitiilosis
association, public health officials and the
medical profession cannot control tuber
culosis. The people must take an active
part.
We must buy Christmas Seals, the sole
support of the tuberclosis association, as
never before. Buy buying Seals is not
enough.
We must recognize the graveness of the
situation. The very disease that kills
more persons between 16 and 46 than any
other disease is spreading in this country.
We must learn what to do to protect
ourselves against tuberculosis We must
heed the warning of the aMociations that
long hours of work, poor nutrition, insuf-
ficit t rest and relaxation may lower the
body’s resistance to the tubercle bacillus,
thus allowing active tuberculosis to .de
velop.
We must recognize tuberculosis for
what it.is—a highly infectious disease with
a long insidious onset. Tuberculosis can
be in an advanced stage before symptoms

CONSECRATED POSSESSIONS
It is an impossibility, so far as we are
able to understand the Scriptures, for .a
man to consecrate his life completely un
to God and withhold his means from God.
All that a man possesses must be conse
crated unto God if he himself is absolutely
and unreservedly consecrated unto Him.
Many people desire to be the true follow
ers of the Lord Jesus Christ, live godly,
and get to heaven when this life is over,
but in the meantime they do not cOnse
crate their po.ssessions to God. They want
to hold them in reserve. Just here is where
many people fail of the rich, wonderful
glorious grace of God.
There are more close, stingy, .selfish pro
fessed Christians than one might think if
he has never observed the way of their
means to God’s cause. People can never
please God, have His rich, sweet, marve
lous blessings upon their souls and lives,
and feel the blessed Holy Spirit within, as
long as they are close and stingy. If the
“tight wads” of every church today would
loosen up, quit robbing God, but give their
tithes and offerings fully, freely and
cheerfully, what a great difference there
would be in their Christian experience and
in the church! They could enjoy their re
ligion, whereas many only endure it. They
could be happy in the service and worship
of God whereas they have but enough re
ligion to make them miserable. They are
miserable because they don’t exactly go
with the sinful world, and don’t give
themselves ancttheir possessions complete
ly unto God.
God loves and blesses cheerful givers.
His financial plan for our lives is the tithe,
or one-tenth, of our earnings. This is the
teachings of tha Old Testament, and ws
find that Jesus approved of it Himself
when He said: “These ought ye to have
done, and not to leave the other undone.”
He was pronouncing woes upon the Phari
sees because they “passed over the judg
ment and love of pod,” and not because
they tithed. He said they ought to give
tithes, but not fail of the love of God, or
fail in vital Christianity. And out of the
remaining nine-tenths God would have v.s
give offerings. Read Malachi, the third
chapter. God certainly blesses the Chris
tian tither. He enriches his soul and sup
plies Ijis temporal need. This is life’s bet
ter way.

SHE GOT HER MAN
The following Is clipped from
the North Carolna'Chrlstlan Ad
vocate :
The ways of the world are past
finding out. like the ways of the
Almighty. The fortunes of peo
ple, which might be called the un
expected fortunes of the unfor
tunate, are beyond the expecta
tions of moat people.
To illus'rate these and similar
generalizations and the sundry es
timates of people, we cite the
story of the school girl who was
urged to do her home work. The
next day her teacher received the
following reply from the child’s
mother:
‘Dear Miss;
“My granmaw didn’t know no
georgraphy and she got her man.
My maw didn’t know no geogra
phy and she got her man. I don’t
know no geography and I got my
man. You know your geography
and you ain’t got no man.’’
