It is being re-printed by request. Madam President and Ladies: When the programs were being formulated for the coming year of the Woman's Club, we were em broiled in the bitterest and most horrible war .known in the history of mankind. At that time, the strategic islands of the Mediter ranean were of vital importance in the pursuit of victory and their siKiiilicant positions had a direct bearing upon advancement to .suc cess. But now that peace has come to nearly the whole of the world, we are inclined to h ave those islands to bask in the sunshine and serenity of their native seas and to pray that never airain will any of them be used as fortresses of agression or protection. Mrs. Kirkpalriek was thouuhtful enough, under such ein uin.-.tanees. to sii'ivel that our contemplated paper on the strategic islands of the Mediterranean might be brought a little nearer home and For You To Feel W ell 21 hours every day, 7 d:iys rviry v. k, never stopping, tiif kidneys tiller wasle rnnlter frein the hhed.

So here we are, studying our own map a id locating those islands that have strategic pur poses of iheir own. For in stance: The largest of these islands, and decidedly tiie most important, is the one named "Home" and is lo cated in tin midle of the sea of matrimony This island is tremend ously large and covers a wide ex panse of territory and some of it exlends beyond this sea and out into other waterways. But, for the most pari, it is ruled over by a pair of regents known as "Daddy" and "Mother." In the hands of these two lie the future and destiny of their subjects; i. e. off spring. You have probably noticed in the papers the alarming number of "juvenile delin quency" cases that have been brought up before the tribunal and how, in every instance, the presiding judge has laid the blame more on home environ ment than upon the culprit. It would seem that this islands plays a leading part in the progress of the future genera tions. It must become a fort ress of instruction and protec tion just as sure as though we were massing our troops for inv isi'iti. This island should be looked unon as a landing field for the transportation of army material to be used in the bat tle of life from birth to the grave: it should be, at all times, well foi tilied with kind ness, education, comradeship and understanding. A n.nc'i -:n ill"r i-hnd. or rather a turnip of hi lie islands closely 1 1 ! t -; I . lies adjacent to the large Maud of "ilOMK" and is located m il..' Ocean of lioubt. This island lo winch we it !er is known as "Kear" and the others so close to it are "Su- pit -ion." "Jealousy" and "Worrv." These islands are stra tegic to the extent that they must be avoided while making the voy age of life. They rise as barriers lo the nrou'i'ss of nations and act as bulwarks to prevent our ad- I Jule M. Messer, S. 2c, Spends Leave At Home Seaman Second Class Jule M.

It's too bad that we can not sink mines under these islands and blast them out of the path of mankind. But man being what he is, they will remain for all time and must be watched with greatest strategy. A little further on, we find two very small but highly important islands nestling just off the coast of Today. They are very necessary in our chartered course but are so often overlooked. They act as beacon lights and when these lights are allowed to go out or grow dim, we find that our channel becomes very choppy, deep and hard to navigate. One island is "Apprecia tion" and the other so very near to it is "Courtesy." Lighthouses that throw out rays of encourage ment and perseverance are builded upon the firm foundations of these strategic islands. There are so many more of these little islands that our ship of state touches upon every day in its cruise that it would be impossible in our limited time to mention the names of all of them. But you know them: you know the names and locations of those that are to be avoided and steered around carefully so that you won't bump into them and find yourself foun dering around in the icy waters of oblivion. And on the large ones you will find magnificent moun tains of aspiration and ambi tion to be climbed to reach the heights of success. Others will have wide plateaus of idealism upon which to ride our steeds to the far reaches in our quest for enlightenmrnt, learning and relaxation. You will find that all of our islands have abundant supplies of those things we need most for our mental, moral and physical ad vancement. Let us guard these islands with all our hearts, our strength and our prayers. In war or peace, and always, these strategic islands are ours! Reckon Its a Joke? A, ; ' 11. 4, REMEMBERING the axiom about many a serious thing being said in jest, you can grin at this picture of a "No Vacancy" sign hanging temporarily, it may be hoped on a city-limits marker at Los Angeles, Calif All towns being in about the same fix, it can be surmised that the sign was hung up by a home-hunter who'd quit trying.

Francis Odie Fish RAPID RISE Up in Sand Mountain In Alabama a traveling salesman chatting with a storekeeper remarked that he was a native of Kaufman county, Texas. "By gum," interrupted a store loafer who overheard him, "I come from thar myself. Do you know a man thar by the name of John Wat kins?" "Yes, I do," the salesman replied. "Wal," said the loafer, "when you git back home I wish you'd look John up for me and tell him I'm do ing mighty poorly. Farm's mort gaged, crops has been bad, and I don't believe I'm going to be able to raise and educate my children. Tell him if he's ever going to help me, bow's the time." "Sorry to hear you're doing so badly, my friend," remarked the salesman sympathetically, "Have a drink." When the drink began to take ef fect, the impoverished farmer said, "So you know my brother John out in Texas?" "Yes," replied the salesman. "Wal when you git back just tell him I'm making a good living and gitting along first-rate." Late in the evening the drummer met the loafer coming out of the lo cal gin milt By then the fellow was really mellow. "Ain't you the gentleman that knows my brother in Texas?" "Yes," was the answer. "Wal, say, when you git back to Kaufman county I want you to look him up and tell him if he needs anything jist call on me." GUILTY? Friend I understand, Judge, you're noted for your quick de cisions. How are you able to decide a case so quickly? Judge Well, I always listen to the plaintiff and then I make up my mind.

Italian Women Riot In Protest Of Living Costs ROME Thousands of Italian women marched and shouted re cently in demonstrations against the high cost of living here and in Naples, and in the latter city police were forced to declare a state of siege. (The number of unemployment in Italy has reached the 2.000.000 mark, the British Broadcasting Corporation reported in a broad cast heard by the National Broad casting Company). One person was killed and twelve were injured in the Naples rioting. Police were ordered to arrest all persons in gatherings of more than five. Here in Rome, police fired rifles into the air to break up a crowd of 4,000 women who demanded more food for their children and accused officials of cheating them of food rations. At the village of Kste, near Padua, a demonstration was more violent. Women marched against the city hall and looted it of food coupons, which they then limned in the village square. They also ransacked local stores for food. Falls Accident Cause Two-fifths of the total farm acct dents in 1943 occurred in the home Falls head the list of causes WHY BE FAK ?

In basketball, the referee is there to see that the game is played according to the rules. But he's not a player. In business, the referee is the govern ment, which establishes regulations for fair practices. But when government goes into busi ness and competes with its own citizens, the American tradition of fair play is set aside. The referee then becomes a player, and he enjoys advantages that are denied to all the other players in the game. Take government-owned electric power systems, for example. They pay litde or no taxes. When they need money, they call on the U. S. Treasury and get it at little or no interest. If they have care of that.
