Why Worry?
There are only two reasons for
«orry;
Either you are successful or
you are not successful. If you
are successful there is nothing to
worry about. If you are not suc
cessful there are only two things
to worry about-; your health >s
either good or you are siek. If
your health is good there is noth
ing to worry about. If you are
sick there are only two things to
worry about. You are going to
get well or you are going to die.
If you are gertng to get well there
is nothing to worry about. If
yoti are going to die there are
only two things to worry about;
you are either going to Heaven or
you are not going to Heaven, and
if you are going to Heaven there
is nothing to worry about. If
you are going to Hell you'll be
so busy shaking hands with old
friends you won't time to
worry. So! —Why Wo-- "

RISE OF THE STAR OF WILLKIE
j The star of Wendell Willkie climbs the horizon,
burning like Mars at perihelion.
It is a most rare circumstance when a personj
eminent in the affairs of State or nation or pol- j
itics can afford to be inconsistent.
Emerson was the outstanding philosopher of |
America. He said it required a superman to
1 turn his back on the vagaries or misunderstand
| ings of yesterday and see the light of today.
With whom shall we contrast the late candi
date for President who is superior to the consid
erations of fall. 1940, which are dwarfed by the
considerations of spring, 1941. Shall we say:
iTaft, Vandenburgh, Fish, Landon, Wheeler,
Nye, Lindbergh?:
Pigmies of partisan politics; pro-Hitlerites,
Fifth Columnists, appeasers, isolationists, advo
cates of "negotiated peace"—peace with a mad
dog.
These men—hear ye—at a time when the dest
iny of the Stars and Stripes hangs in the bal
ance; when fire and blood and tears is the por-i
t icn of unresisting peoples the clank of whose
chains is heard across the waters; when the
| bloodshot eyes of the tiger turn toward the west
ern hemisphere looking for more victims to
' rend—
Now when the prayers of hopeless population.;
j echo to the heavens, and there is no possibility of l
: succor if England falls—
| Somewhere in the universe the cry of despair |
jwill not be unheard. The God of battles will pre- j
ivail, even as He prevailed over Genghis Khan,
j Alexander, Caesar and Napoleon.
i Do not fear —the resolution of the British em
! pire backed by the invincible power of America
will abide the shock. And when Hitler and Hit
lerism are irretrievably smashed the flags of
the United States and England inseparably en
twined will still wave triumphant in the sunlight
of the New Day.
When Wendell Willkie took his stand for right
'and justice and patriotism he became one of
.that triumvirate which means to carry on
against the worst that may come—Churchill,
Roosevelt, Willkie.
I And when the pages of history are written, and
I when those who seek to tarnish his escutcheon
are forgotten, Wendell Willkie will be acclaimed
as a patriot.
i And then those who would sell the
heritage of George Washington, John
Paul Jones, Andrew Jackson, Abraham
Lincoln, Grover Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt
and Woodrow Wilson—those who would barter
this glorious estate for a mess of Reich pot
tage will be noted only as the recipients of the
undying contempt of their nation and country—
j Unwept, unhonored and unsung.

In this questionnaire are fifty
simple questions, easily answered.
Filling it out does not in any way

tions asked if the nurse would be
willing to accept assignment now
or in case of a war err»rgency.
"Today every woman is asking
what she can do for hei' eountry.
There is no more forturwH worn
