A Mistaken Idea
It appears that a great many people have
a mistaken idea about the starving peoples
of the world—that they were our enemies
during the war. It may be that people in
Germany and Japan are hungry, but the
people who are suffering most are those of
the nations over-run by our enemies during
the war—people who were forced to leave
their homes, their farms and their property.
But even if it were a matter of feeding our
enemies, we know of nothing which could
show a finer spirit than to divide with them.
Nothing possibly could prove more impres
sive of our friendship to the needy, enemies
or net, than to give them to eat when they
are starving. Let’s divide with the hungry
and starving peoples of other lands.

Time To Do Soinetliing About It
Senator Claude Pepper is no communist.
He does not defend communism. But in the
Senate recently he spoke out for what he
thought was fair and just. He told how the
British had set up governments, created new
countries, negoti; ted deals in their own self
ish interest, held troops in Greece, Iraq. It
was the senator’s contention that we accept
such action, that we participate in such ac
tions, and then act critical of others who
move to protect themselves.
The Underttanding of Service
By Ruth Taylor
One nignt I was talking to a man who
served in tne last war. lie was on his favor
ite theme ol universal service and said, “You
know, 1 really think I learned more in the
army than I did any other way. I believe
it was because I met so many men from all
walks of life, I learned hew to be a good
lawyer. I learned to have understanding
lor other people.”
When I talk in Service Clubs, I bring this
up. Some proud father always has his son
m uniform with him and when I talk on the
common basis of democracy, I turn to the
boy and ask if he hasn't learned in service
what I mean. All but once these boys have
said, Yes—I’ve learned to know other peo
ple. I’ll never be the same again.” One
blushing youngster in his teens added: ‘‘1
found out they’re just like me underneath.”
The exception — oh, he didn’t like any
thing or anybody. Fortunately, that day
there were two servicemen—and the other
expressed himself very forcibly on what
he’d learned of understanding.
They learned not toleration—but toler
ance. I’m net one of those who is afraid of
the veterans. I think they’ve learned — no
matter what group they’ve come from—to
understand each other. And that under
standing will be carried with them into
peace time pursuits. The world will never
be as small to them again.
There is a very fine series of advertise
ments put out by the Arrow Manufacturing
Company containing actual letters from men
who were in service. I quote from one by
Lt. Johnny Hayden, Jr.
“Tolerance is finding out that the fellow
from Iowa has as keen a humor as the Broad
way boy; that the fellow from the South can
fight just as well as the lad from Minnesota;
seeing a Catholic chaplain handle the spirit
ual needs for Moe Goldberg from Brooklyn
and hearing the slight Irish brogue whisper
ing words of condolence in Hebrew; listen
ing to a chaplain of the Baptist faith leading
a Hail Mary on Sunday because the priest
was unable to arrive in time for Mass—that’s
not talking tolerance, that’s living it!”
Our boys have learned to understand each
other fighting together. Can we do less
working together?
A wise man whll always be a Christian, be
cause the perfection of wisdom is to know
where lies tranquility of mind, and how to
attain it, which Christianity teaches.—Lan
dor.
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you,
live peaceably with all men.—Romans 12:18.
The occurrences that come to a man are
the fruit of his own character.—Emerson.

“JES’ HOL‘ IT NATCHEL, SONNY!
"DISCOVERING"
UNCLE NATCHEL
One day back in 1934, an artist, driving leisurely along a
country road in the deep South, luard the sound of banjo
music floating toward him through the trees. He left his
car and followed the sad-sweet strains until he found a
clearing in the forest where, on a little cabin porch, sat
an old darky, a red-headed boy of twelve, and a dog—in
the middle of a music lesson! All unseen, the artist set up
his easel and soon, upon the canvas, appeared the boy, all
thumbs, his face screwed up in earnest effort, manfully
struggling with the stringed instrument; the dog looking
on in painful apprehension; the old man patiently urging:
“Jes’ hoi’ it natchcl, Sonny-thataway, natchell”
This beautiful painting by Hy Hintermeister was fea
tured on the 1935 Uncle Natchel calendar, and introduced
to a million people the familiar figure of “Uncle Natchel”,
the kindly old man who has appeared ever since as the
symbol of Natural Chilean Nitrate of Soda.
Uncle Natchel is really a rare and lovable character.
Crown old in the employ of Sonny’s family, he is known
to everyone for miles around for his inexhaustible supply
of stories about the wonders of Nature and his belief that
the best way to do anything is the “Natchel” way. And that,
of course, is how he got his name.
