The people of the United States will be amazed, a while later, when the .facts are revealed as to the number of fighting ships that have joined our Navy. Battleships, carriers, cruisers and destroyers, with lesser units galore, have been rushed to completion and it is assumed that, as of today, we have the most powerful navy afloat. The end of the war will find the United States possessing the most formidable array of warships ever possessed by a single nation. What will be their fate? Will we fall for another disarmament program and junk the ships that insure the safety of the seas? Let us hope not. If we do, another war will develop in the next thirty years and, once more, we will enter the combat without the essential weapons of warfare. Again, we will suffer humiliating los.ses and strug gle against long odds until new ships can be constructed. If a nation can learn it is reason able to presume that this country will maintain a fleet adequate in size, as compared to other fleets, to insure us against attack anywhere in the world. British Doing Their Fighting: The 'future peace of the world ajnd the Safety of the United States and Great Britain require that the two English-speaking nations continue their close cooperation after the conclusion of the present war. Because of this fact, almost self evident to students of world politics, we think it is important for Ameri cans to appreciate the contribution that the British are making to the overthrow, of Hitlerism. Such recog nition will not detract from the glory of our own fighting men. It is a mistake for Americans to believe that they are doing all the fighting. It would be tragic if our war news over emphasizes any phase of the great war, especially if it persuades us that the British, French, Norwegians, Greeks , and other peoples have made relatively small contributions to the common cause. Roane Waring, National Com mander of the American Legion, just back from North Africa, takes cog nizance of this fact, we believe, when he says that the British are not "letting somebody else do their fighting for them." He says they are doing it magnificently," and adds that the British soldiers in Africa "have been through hell and its fires have not daunted them." We yield to no one in admiration of American fighting men but, like the Legion leader, we admit that the British deserve credit for a great record in this war. Whatever may have been the suspicion about the fighting qualities of the men of England, Scotland, Wales and Uls ter before this war began, there is but one opinion today and Hitler knows it. Echoes From Africa Mo censor is able to keep from the peoples imprisoned in Hitler's conti nental fortress the news that was made in Africa last week. Almost as soon as the fall of Tunis and Bizerte was known to the free world, reports were afoot of new suppressions by the Nazis in the occupied countries of Europe. The Nazis are setting up special courts and taking other energetic measures against oppressed peoples. The temper of these peoples, and an increase of facts dangerous to Nazi interests, must be making new pre cautions absolutely necessary. The dhinks in Europe's outer armor may be no more difficult to fill than the -fissures now spreading through the inner walls of the "new order." 1 Meanwhile from the Russian front come echoes of the victory in Africa. , ,, Reported ueBirucuun ox vov juub planes in a week by Russian forces I n l j j i. . - 4 nnn A ' 1 dda point to- Russian congratula tionlB on the African triumph. The IIAY SCHOOL LESSON BIBLE TEACHINGS ON WINE'S DECE1TFULNESS. (Temperance Lesson) International Sunday School for May 23rd, 1943. Lesson GOLDEN TEXT: "At the last it biteth like a serpent and sting-, eth like an adder." Pro. 23:32. Lesson Text: Proverbs 20:1; 23:29-35; Matthew 24:45-51. The lesson text from Proverbs should be carefully read. It is the voice of antiquity, speaking words of wisdom which are just as fitting in this modern world as they were at the time they were written. In Proverbs 23:29-32, we are given a realistic picture of the woes and sorrows which come to those in the clutch of the alcohol habit. "Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath com plaining? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?" the writer asks. Anyone who has ever come into contact with a drunken man or worn an can testify to the accuracy of the picture drawn. The writer then pro ceeds to answer his own questisns, when he says, "They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek out mixed wine." Warning of the consequences of partaking: of such beverages, the writer says: "Look not, thou, upon the wine when it is red (in the last stages of fermentation), when it sparkleth in the cup, when it goeth down smoothly," for "at the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder." Wine and similar intoxicating beverages may delight the palate and "lighten the feelings for a while, but, the pleasure and delight are short-lived. In his book, entitled, "Alcohol: Its Effects on Man," Professor Haven Emerson states that there is general agreement among students, teachers, doctors and scientists on the following points: 1. Alcohol is a narcotic, which, by depressing the higher centers, re moves inhibitions. 2. Outside of the nervous system end the digestive tract, alcohol used as a beverage has little demonstrable effect. 3. It is a food, utilizable as a source of energy and a sparer of pro tein, but it is such only to a very limited extent. 4. The therapeutic usefulness and value of alcohol are slight. 5. It may be a comfort and a psychological aid to the aged. 6. Itdoes not increase and it sometimes decreases the body's resist ance to infection. 7. By releasing inhibitions, it makes for social ease and leisure, and herein lies one of its greatest dan gers. 8. Its effects are best studied by changes of conduct. 9. It impairs reason, will, self- control, judgment, physical skill, and endurance. 10. It may produce situations from which crime and social lapses react. 11. It is a frequent destroyer of health, happiness and mental stability. 12. Its use commonly lowers long evity and increases mortality. The lesson, which will be taken in many classes as one applicable solely to the alcoholic evil, is much broader and the individual who thus attempts to limit its usefulness (will miss much of its grandeur. In every phase of man's daily activities the implications of the exhortation should exert its influence. Life should be expressed temperately and this warn ing thought should be with us all as we translate our personalities into deeds and words that give us contact with other human beings, perance by stressing its restraining influence upon what some of us are inclined to call the "things of evil". We seldom reflect upon the implica tions that temperance reflects upon some of the things that we associate with eoodness. Temperance in life means balance; it negatives intoler ance just as much as it denies evil. We are all familiar with the in dividual,' identified in our thinking, as an example of wickedness. Here the personality seems to be in league with the forces of darkness. It gives way to appetite and passions and cer tainly needs the lesson of temper ance, as a stepping stone toward bet ter living. If temperance in life means bal- Americari-British-French front is now becoming a second front in the sense in which that word has. been used by Premier Stalinv from the start. It is said that Hitler now has to worry about where the next blow will fall. But nobody is keeping any secrets from him. The United Na7 tiops are quite frank about it and doubtless approve General Gaud's utter disregard for military secrecy when he says that the invasion of Europe will come "from the north as well as from the south, from the east as well as from the west." As Hitler's early triumphs show ed, victory develops a momentum of its own. The Nazis are now having the experience of seeing the other fellow's victory coming their way with increasing momentum. Chris tian Science Monitor. THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLT, HERTFORD, ance, then the excesses that lead us to either side of the narrow path are evil. The fanatical zeal that shows a "holier than thou" attitude toward mankind may, possibly, do the ulti mate purposes of God as much harm as some excess of bad habits. Cer tainly, it will obscure the search for truth and the worship of truth by the individual, which is a great damage to the development of the spirit. The individual, seeking the devel opment of perfect character, and its expression in life, which seems to us to be the goal of revelation, must not lose sight of ultimate truth in the presence of fogs that accompany our interpretation of truth. It is not ir religious to earnestly seek to distin guish the Divine from the Human, and to look with faith toward the Light from God that shines upon mankind, but must pierce the frailj ties of human flesh.

IN MEMORIAM In sad but loving remembrance of our dear father and husband, Allen Ulysses Winslow, who departed this life on May 22, 1941. Oh how sad was the call, And to part with one so kind to all The shock was hard and so severe, To part with one we loved so dear. If we had seen you "to the last, And held your precious hand, We could each one have said good-bye Before you reached the higher land. When the evening shadows are falling And dear mother sits alone, In our hearts there comes a longing Praying that you could come home. Do not ask us if we miss him There is such a vacant place, Often we think we hear his footsteps, And long to see his smiling face. Dear God, watch over mother, And the children give Thy grace. In tears we pray to meet our father, In Heaven above some day. WIFE AND CHILDREN. Used Shoe Sale Persons who have left shoes at our shop for repair are requested to call for them at once.
