Possibly too many of us think of the Red Cross as some distant group of people who happen on a scene during a flood, a tornado, or some like tragedy. That is all true, but now the task of the Red Cross has been increased a thousandfold, in carrying out du ties assigned to it in rendering aid i to men in time of war. These duties are so numerous we will only name the ones such as aid to war prison ers, aid to the wounded and aid to the tired G. I.

Think of the conditions as they would be, for these members of the armed forces, if it were not for the aid rendered through Red Cross . . . then make your contribution to the 1945 Red Cross War Fund a gener ous one. Enemy Army The Key Readers of dispatches that come from all of the war fronts are no doubt impressed by the number of times the Russians in the East, and the Allies in the West, have captured key bastions, vital transportation junctions and "last barriers" to any given military enterprize. Recently, in connection with the offensive on the Western Front, the capture of Dueren, was hailed as the fall of the " key to Cologne defense." The phrase should not mislead any-1 Doay who has kept up with the pro gress of modern warfare. The key to the defense of any ter ritory, under modern conditions is not fixed points or positions, but the strength and fighting courage of the opposing army in the field. It is somewhat confusing, however, for the war dispatches to constantly tell us about the fall of the "last bastion" and the capture of ''key positions" dominating surrounding areas and its defense. The fact is that the defeat and des truction of the opposing army is the only "key" to advances that lead to military triumphs. Youthful Through Learnini?."

No More Disarmament We are glad to note that Prime Minister Winston Churchill, speaking in the House of Commons, makes clear his opinion that there will be no sweeping world-wide disarma ment such as that which occurred after the last war. When Germany was defeated in 1918, the victorious nations, under steady pressure from the Pacifists, swallowed the delusion that if they reduced their armament, there would be less chance of warfare in the fu ture. The farcial process got underway iii Washington, where the United States agreed to junk its modem Navy and became obsessed with the Idea that everything would be fine if the BritiHh could b induced, or cam pelled, to reduce their Navy. V. hat most people overlooked at thet;me was that the process ser iously impaired the power of the victorious nations and made it easier SPRING By Aubrey San, W. P. C. time Another year And Spring is here Just a cycle of the days and moves on The seeds and plants Which nature grants So lavishly is all our own. Then its Spring And all the birds will sing From the meadow lark to the noisy jay Note their tune Real harbingers of June Soon to dance upon the jessamine are the dogwood tent in May. Listen to the frog In the distant bog Calling to his neighbors far and near To get out Ana walk about To welcome the brightest time of all the year. Last to wake Is some manafake Lounging lazily, till the blizzard winds are stayed Hawkin up the cold He has caught in search of gold After gods for which the miser long has prayed. The writer thinks it fine To put in a line To join the clumsy creatures are the song bird that we hear In a quaint old-fashioned way As though Spring had come to stay For it is indeed the sweetest time, of all the year.

Chappell and released under his or t-ermany, Italy and Japan to se pen name, as has been some of his .cure the force with which to chal-'r other works in the West Coast t lcge the existing world order.
