INVASION SECRET KEPT
One of the Interesting revelation of
Winston Churchill recent address to
the Bouse of Commons was a state
ment that to April, 1M3. the British
and American Planning Staff planned
the Invasion of Prance, selecting the
teaches for attack and presenting the
main operations of . the scheme, X
v Mr. Churchlir carried the plan to
Quebec, wtoera- it was studied by Pres
ident Roosevelt and the combined
British and American chiefs of jataff,
and', approved.' . X , " t '
The secret was entrusted to iscores
and verr soon to hundreds and "ul
timate! to thousands of people" but
it never leaked' out either in the
United States or in Great Britain,
In the words of the British Prime
Minister, this was "rather remarkable
and reflects cerdlt upon the Anglo-
American team. .'
It is right for him who asks for

NAZIS THINK OF CAPITULATION
The average reader to familiar with
the arrant boasting and bragging of
Butler. SAdolf Hitler in the years when the
tide of success was running high for
the German Army.
They should appreciate the signifi
cance of his recent statement to party
leaders that Germany needs "a man
who will under no circumstances ca
pitulate," and his assertion that he is
necessary to the German nation.
Whereas Hitler used to promise his
people victory, together with the
wealth and booty of a triumph, and
assert that the super-irace was des
tlned to manage the entire globe, he
now urges hto usefulness almost solely
on the basis that he Is ready for a
finish fight and will not capitulate.
This assertion, it seems to us, to a
complete give-away as to the German
military situation. Obviously, the sub
ject of capitulation to in the Nasal
mind and It has been placed there by
the Impressive victories of the Allied
armies on the fields of battle.
The German's aspiration to master
the world has now been replaced by
Hitler's pledge of no capitulation.
There has been no change in the Ger-

older children should be taught to re

ALLIED PLAN FOR AUSTRIA
Austria, which was forcibly annexed
to tha German Belch in March, 1938,
wilt be governed after the war by a
joint board composed of. representa

States and Soviet Russia. 1 X; ,
Considering the annexation "null

reestablish a "free and independent
Austria" and to "open the way for the
Austrian people themselves . '. .to

GOLDEN TEXT: "Because
thou hast rejected the word of
the Lord, he hath also rejected
thee from being king." I Sam
uel 15: 23.
Lesson Text: I Samuel 15: 10-23
Samuel was the last of the Judges.
As he grew old the people of Israel
demanded a king, like other nations,
Samuel, the founder of the prophets,
was also the founder of the monarchy
Representing Jehovah, he yielded to
their desires, and Saul became their
first monarch. !
The formal selection was made by,
lots. First, the tribe of Benjamin,
then the family of Matrites, then the
household of Kish, and the individual,
Saul. Previously advised by Samuel,
at the time he had been hunting his
father's asses, Saul was found hiding
among the wagons. At first some re-j
fused to recognize his rule, but op-1
portunity - soon came to prove nis
leadership.
Saul's primary services to hto people
were as a military leader. Seven able
campaigns he waged, ending in the
establishment of a unified, powerful.
nation. As a fighting man Saul was
courageous and brilliant, possessed of
ability and personal bravery. Another
service, hardly less vital, was Saul's
success in winning recognition' for the
kingship, setting the authority of the
monarch upon foundations firm
enough for David and Solomon to
pro pet thereby.
The Ammonites attacked Jabesh
gllead, threatening to put out the
right eyes of its inhabitants. Saul
Saul hastily called his warriors to fol
low under penalty of death for failure.
Leading a large army he relieved the
besieged city, earning the gratitude of
its people and a wider recognition as
a worthy loyal leader. Years later,
when Saul's dead body was insulted
by the victorious Philistines, the men
of Jabesh-gllead rescued If, and gave it
decent burial. - r j

us points out that there was a rela

spring when poultrymen were forced
to pack eggs in al kinds of containers.
"With the food situation as it to, this
should not be allowed to happen
again," Says Parrlsh. t -.Wtv.--1-He
urges poultrymen to purchase all
the good, second-hand egg cases pos
sible at this time and store them for
next year. To al stores, cafes, and
buyers of eggs in case lots he issues
an appeal to save the wooden cases
and cooperate with the farmers in
taking care of next year's egg crop.
It to estimated that about 85 per
cent of next year's eggs will have
to be 'marketed in fibre board cases.
The production of this material to be
low actual requirements and box man

fibre board on a monthly basis.
"Competitive uses for this material,
plus the need for distributing the
manufacturing load in order .to use

make it necessary for egg case users
to immediately dlace firm orders
