OUR CHINESE ALLIES
We of the United States of America
all too frequently think of China
M being k- somewhat mythical land |
of rice paddies and temples lying far
away across the Pacific. We fail to
appreciate the part which China plays
and has been playing in the present
war. It is high time that every
American Citizen realized that China
is an ally of the United States, and
that as an ally, she should be accorded
every help that it is within our
power to give. In return for this
help that America can and must give,
China will return true allegience and
true effort to the cause of .the United
Nations.
The story of the heroic struggle
which China has been waging against
our now common enemy for these
past years is too well known to be
repeated here. Let it suffice to say
that every loyal American is growing
daily more appreciative of the
endurance, fortitude, and sterling
sualiUes of our Chinese allies.
Let us remember that every blow
that the Chinese strike at the armed
forces of Japan is a blow struck as
much in our behalf as in theirs. Let
us do everything that we can by
word and deed to show that we of
America are worthy of the help which
these gallant allies are giving us.
This is not a war in which one nation
can stand alone. It is a clash
of titans. It is a clash of ideologies.
It is a clash of our way of life with
the way of Hitler and the War Lords
of Japan. China has borne the brunt
of1 the Japanese offensive for many
years. Now we too are beginning to
feel the striking power of that offense.
This is no time to remember
petty National "isms." Rather it is
a time for all men who love freedom
and peace to join together for the
extermination of the forces of evil.
China is our ally—we are China's
ally. We must remember that, and
bend every effort to see that both
we and our allies win through to
absolute victory.
BIRD NOTES
At the fast Bird Club meeting,
Billy Russell discussed the Kinglets,
which are the smallest of the bird
kingdom with the exception of the
Humming Birds. They are very pro- !
lific, raising the largest families
among the song birds and often laying
two layers of eggs in their nests
made of moss and fine strips of bark. |
The nests are interwoven and lined i
with softest feathers and placed in1,
the highest trees. The Kinglets are'
never still but are in constant motion ;
in their quest of insects. Zeb White- J
hurst brought the program to a close
with a poem relative to this songster.

WHAT TO DO IN
AN AIR RAID
Suggestions No. 4 as issued by the j
United States Office of Civilian Defense
in a pha inlet entitiled "What
To Do In An Air Raid."
No. 4.—LI* DOWN
If bombs start to fall near you,
lie down. You will feel the blast
least that wmy, escape fragments or
splinters.
The safest pi ace is under a good
stent table—the stranger the legs
RELIGION—HOPE OF THE
WORLD
To try to root out religion itself
from society is a wild-goose chase.
And were such an attempt to succeed,
it would mean the destruction
of society .... The existence of the
world, in a broad sense, depends upon
religion.—Mohandas K. Gandhi, sage
of India, in the current Rotarian
magazine.

! M'ARTHUR REFUND
. Washington, Feb. 9.—Having tax
troubles ?
Here's consolation — the government
had them, too, during the fiscal
year of 1941.
And those particular woes provided
cheery news to thousands Who
dug too deep in paying past levies,
and, as a result of over-assessments
were refunded a total of $54,006,883.
If General MacArthur is not too
preoccupied with other matters, his
name appeared for a modest sized
refund.
i In a bulky document turned over
i today for law-required inspection by
Congress, the Internal Revenue Bu1
reau listed the names of those who
paid more than their share and the
amounts of their refunds.
Deep in the list was- the name of
Douglas MacArthur, now holding Bataan
peninsula against the Japanese
invaders of the Philippines. The bureau
reported it had sent the general
its check for 1629.66, as executor for
the -estate of Mary P. MacArthur,
his mother. „
Scientists are not sure where civilization
began but everybody knows
how it may end.

Series that he couldn't eat; has he
heard about the war?
BURLAP
New burlap bags will be availably
in much smaller volume than in th*
past in 1942 and will be of light
construction because of the Army's
need for burlap.
WORKERS
Government economists predict that
the labor situation will be innch
more acute this year, and that farmers
will have to pay higher wages
to those helpers they oan get.
