SPEEDING UP THE TANKS

r p H E yrr.TTARY high command has ordered an extremely heavy

Increase in the production of tanka. The splendid Industries of our coun-try are well equipped to respond to this call. The country that can produce millions of automobiles Is capable of turning out a lot of tanks, and they will be the best that technical research can devise.

The battles of the tanka, these mammoth veh'cles that spout fire and death, are a fearsome s ight The genius of our men who handle automobiles and airplanes with such skill, will be more than a match for the enemy, and the armor of these vehicles will give a strong protec-tion.

Departmg Pastor. Paid Fine Tribute

Soveral Hundred Parishioners and Friends Hold RecopUon for Jl®v. J. W. McNeil, 14 Years Pastor of S t Patrick's Church, Parnell

LOWELL, MICHIGAN, JULY 6, 1944

Fourteen years ago the Reverend J. W. McNeil came to St. Patrick's church, Parnell, from St. Vincent DePaul at Shepard; and Monday evening his parishioners, neighbors

__ and friends numbering several hun-w w ' and "America dred gathered at Townsend park

to bid him farewell and success In his" now appointment at 8L Francis parish, Grand Rapids, which he took over on Wednesday. Several priests spoke in praise of Fr McNeil and his work In the community, and C. H. Runclman spoke on behalf of the Lowell peo-ple. Rev. McNeil, in response, hlgh-

PARTING COMES HARD

TT 23 A HARD DAY for wives and parents when the huriband or the

son finally leaves the country for overseas military service. They do their best to appear cheerful and to put a bright face on the events, but many sad thoughts come.

It is a limp when a good philo>M>-phy of life helps a lot, yet for very many it is hard to get that good outlook on such an event. That philosophy will tell them that the proportion of deaths In the service is very small, and that most of the wounded and sick will recover. Also that they are glad to have their man have his par t in the great and noble effort of the na-tion, and that they would regret It If he were dlaquaHfled for mili-tary service for any reason.

Some people have an apprehen-sive dlsporitlon, and It is difficult for them to heip seeing the un-fortunate possibilities of his serv-ice. If there is some small chancc that something bad will happen to him, they dwell on that possibility, and they keep dreading thai chance.

The country has the utmost sym-pathy with those who are left a t home, and who have to bea r . the anxiety of waiting for letters and news of their loved ones. They any-way are entitled to feel proud that their man has been accepted for mllltaiy service, and Is responding cheerfully to the call and will do his full duty. They can think that in all probability he will return safe and sound, and that he will have gained Important advantages f rom his work.

Whatever anxiety the home folks feel, they should try to conceal It In their letters to the serviceman. I t will make things harder for him If he feels they are worrying about him. They can feel that when he returns, he will be the subject off great honor for the work he has done and the sacrifice he has ptade.

At S t Francis, Rev. McNeil will serve about 800 families. At Par-nell he had 100 families, and he speaks with pride and personal af-fection of the 60 boys now In serv-ice, most of whom were graduates of the St. Patrick school during his ministry there.

Rev. McNeil was bom in Ludlng-ton. Before coming to Parnell he had also served as assistant at Mt. Pleasant, and at St. James in Bay CHy, as well as a t Shefcard.

Succeeding Fr. McNeil is the Rev-r.-end William J. Murphy, principal of Catholic Central High school and chaplain of Villa Maria, the home of the Good Shepherd sisters, Grand Rapids.

Promote Michigai't Interests by Voting For Vernon J. Brown for Lieut Gorernor

Editorial

Auditor General Vernon J . Brow® Is a candidate for Lieuten-ant Gorernor—and many people are asking why.

These people have a right to know. I t h/u: to do with their buslne**—the buiriness of the State of

Michigan. Here'* the *tory: Governor Ha r ry F. Kelly has not had the cooperaLon of L ieu t

Governor Eugene C. Keyes in the mounting problems that face him to this war period. Ahead there are many perplexing post-war problems. Lievit Governor Keyes, a practicing physician and owner of a large hospital, gives only such time to his office as Is absolutely necessary. Further, to put It mildly, Keyes Is something of an Individualist He wants to be "on the team, but he refuses to play ball."

This 'has caused Governor Kelly and other State Admlnstratlve officers many headaches.

Knowing wliat Is ahead, Governor Kelly went to the veteran State official, Vernon J. Brown, some weeks ago and asked him to become a candidate for this office. He reaeoned this way: " I need someone who is familiar with State problem*. State institu-tlone and S ta te finances and legislative procedure to help me. I must have someone who will cooperate—someone I can trust. If 1 am out of t h e state II must have someone second In command who will c a n y out the State's policies. In case of disability or death, the l i eu tenan t Governor becomes the Governor."

The Governor and Brown agroed that this office should be a I full-time Job—cot a sideline as It has been treated by Incum-

bents In the past. Six years ago when Brown became Auditor General he said

he was going to correct the muddlad and chaotic accounting system. H e did. Not only that, he cut the cost of that depart-ment In half .

Here was another challenge—another needed change In a State office. It meant giving up another office which has been rated more Important, and enter a primary election. That did not stop Vem Brown. He recognized the need and agreed to do what Gov-ernor Kelly asked him to do—becauae he believed It was for the good of the State and would help meet the heavy postwar prob-lems ahead.

Michigan needs a full time, experienced and capable man "sec-ond in command" In Michigan.

Brown h a s publicly given his word that he will devote his en-t ire time to the office—during legislative sestHons and a t all other times. No m a n In Michigan has such a complete and thorough knowledge of State business. Michigan voters will be promoting their own interests by giving this tough Job to a man who has proven his abiHty, efficiency and devotion to duty.

Mothers Banqueted • By Job's Daugiiters

Unusually Fine Program Enjoyed By Good-Sixt-d Andienco; Feature Talk on Art Appreciation by Norton L. Avery

Undaunted by the hot weather which had prevailed for several days, a good crowd turned out for the Job's Daughters ' Mother and Daughter banquet a t the Methodist church dining hall last Wednesday evening. All teservatlons were not filled although places had been prepared for 84. A delicious baked ham dinner was served by the ladies of the O. E. S., without whose splendid cooperation, gratis, the event would not have been possible. The girls publicly expressed their appreciation.

The program was capably handl-ed by members of Job's Daughters. Bonnie Hale, Honored Queen, in-troduced the toastmlstress, Janet Thorne, who opened the program with group singing led by Cather-ine Phelps, accompanied by Mrs. Arnold Wlttenbach. Mrs. George Hale gave a toast to the daughters and Arlene Roth responded with a tribute to mothers. Then followed a pleasing piano solo by Dora Jean Warner and^i vocal duet by Cather-ine Phelps and Dora Jean, "Come, Holy Spi r t "

The main and concluding feature of the program was the splendid talk on appreciation of art, and the beauties of nature which atoound In our own locality, by Norton L. Avery. Mr. Avery empha-sized his Informal talk with some of his own photographic work and with beautiful colored slides. Illus-trating the advances made in col-ored photograhy in the past few years. He also displayed some of the drawings of his son, Keith, to an appreciative audience.

Co-chairmen for the banquet were Barbara Richmond, Arlene Roth and Jane Rlttenger.

for each model and body type, an "as is" price and a "warranty" price.

3. Ceilings will drop at the rate Jof four percent of the "as is" price every six months.

4. Separate prices are given for three geographical regions.

5. When a sale has been com-pleted the buyer and seller must fill out a transfer certificate and turn this In to the buyer's local War Price and Rationing Board.

A suggestion of the relative values which OPA has placed on the many-makes and models of cars for the several years may be gained from the following celling on one model of one manufacturer: The Chev-rolet Town Sedan which has 'been manufactured in two price ranges. Following are the celling base prices for this community:

1937—$365 and $340. 19W-$500 and $458. 1936—$564 and $525. 1940—$720 and $685, 1947—$890 and $825. 1942—$995 and $940. The new regulation does not ap-

ply to used trucks which have been under a separate price regulatioa since April, 1943.

Because the price of used cars has risen f rom 20 per cent to 30 per cent in the past 18 months, and be-cause transportation Is such an im-portant factor in the war e f fo r t OPA has deemed It necessary to apply new regulations.

The set t lers and pioneers who founded Michigan were g rea t work-ers. They found pleasure In tolL They took sat isfact ion out of any Improvement they made In the i r homes, and It pleased them a s well a s p top je a re pleased today when they obtain some costly new pos-sssslon.

This love for work w a s the force t ha t vnabied them lo tu rn a rough count ry Into beaut i ful cit ies and towns and outlying land. I t enabled people to build u p prosperous In-dust r ies and business concerns and f ine f a rms . They found sa t i s fac t ion in c rea t ing a her i tage t ha t they could hand down to the i r children.

The modern age needs more of this en joyment of work for t h e resul ts it gets. If we expect our communi t ies to grow In beau ty and prosperi ty , we need to f ind pleas-ure In our work, In the th ings we do to m a k e nice h-^mes, to build u p business fo r our employers and ourselves, and in work fo r the pub-lic good.

W A R CONTRACTS

Congress is working on a bill which will establish mach inery to te rmina te the billions of dollars in-volved in w a r cont rac ts when t h e need f o r these w a r supplies phall have passed. The prompt se t t lement of these con t i ac t s seems necessary to a speedy re turn to civilian pro-duction, and the employment of labor on goods supply 'ng civilian needs.

If there should be long delay in the se t t lement of these con-1 t r ac t s and the dealings between w a r product ion companies and the government , la rge a m o u n t s of capi-ta l would be tied up, and m a n y coinfpanios might be delayed In re-conversion to civilian production.

Wreckage Litters Beach But It Was Expendable

German Prisoners See Replacements Pour Across Sea They Guarded So Long

By Ernie 1

NORMANDY BEACHHEAD (By wireless, delayed)—I took a walk along the historic coast of Normandy In the country of France .

It was a lovely day for strolling along the seashore. Men were sleeping on ^he sand, some of them sleeping forever. Men were floating in the wafer , but they didn't know they were in the water, for they were dead.

The water was full of squlshy little Jellyfish about the size of your hand. Millions of them. In the center each of them had a green design exactly like a four-leaf clover. The good-luck emblem. Sure. Hell yes

I walked for a mile and a half along the water 's edge of our many-

Ernie Pyle

mlled invasion beach. You wanted to walk slowly, for the detail on that beach was Infinite.

The wreckage was vast and star-tling. The awful waste and destruc-tion of war, even aside f rom the loss of human life, has always been one of Its outstanding features to those who a re in i t Anything and every-thing It expendable. And we did expend on our beachhead In Nor-mandy during those first few hours.

• • •

For a mile out f rom the beach there were scores of tanks and

trucks and boats that you could no longer see, for they were at the bottom of the wa-ter—swamped by overloading, or hit by shells, or sunk by mines. Most of their crews were lost.

You could see trucks tipped half o v e r a n d

swamped. You could see part ly sunken barges, and the angled-up corners of Jeeps, and small landing c ra f t half submerged. And at low tide you could still see those vicious six-pronged iron snares that helped snag and wreck them.

On the beach itself, high and dry , were all kinds of wrecked vehicles. There were tanks that had only Just made the beach before being l o c k e d ou t There were jeeps that had burned to a dull gray. There were big derr icks on caterpi l lar t reads that didn't quite make i t There were half-tracks carrying of-fice equipment that had been made into a chair bles by a single shell hit, their Interiors still holding their ueeless equipage of smashed type-writers, telephones, office files.

There were LCT's turned com-pletely upside down, and lying on their backs, and how they got that way I don't know. There were boats stacked on top of each other, their sides caved in, their si'spension doors knocked off.

In this shoreline museum of car-nage there were abandoned rolls of barbed wire and smashed bulldoz-ers and big r tacks of thrown-away lifebelts and piles of shells still wait-ing to be moved.

In the water fioated empty life ra f t s and soldiers' packs and ration boxes, and mysterious oranges.

On the beach lay snarled rolls of telephone wire and big rolls ef steel matt ing and s tacks of broken, rusting rifles.

On the beach lay, expended, sufficient men and mcchanlsm for a smal l war . They were gone forever now. And yet we could afford i t

We could afford it because we were on, and we had our ioe-hc!d, and behind cs there were such enormous replacements for this wreckage on the beach tha» you could hardly conceive ef their sum total. H e n and equip-ment were flowing f rom Eng-land in such a gigantic s t ream that it m a d e the waste on the beachhead seem like nothing a t all, really nothing a t all.

• • •

A few hundred yards back on the beach is a high bluff. Up there we had a tent holpltal, and a barbed-wire enclosure for prisoners of war. F rom up there you could see f a r up and down the beach, in a spectacu-lar crow's-nest vjew, and f a r out to sea.

And standing out there on the water beyond all this wreckage was the greatest a rmada m a n has ever seen. You simply could not believe the gigantic collection of ships that lay out there waiting to unload.

Looking from the bluff, it lay thick and clear to the f a r horizon of the sea and on beyond, and it spread out to the sides and was miles wide. Its utter enormity would move the hardest m s n .

As I stood up there I noticed a group of freshly taken German pris-oners standing nearby. They had not yet been put in the prison cage. They were Just s tanding there, a

The strong, swirling tides of ihe Normandy coastline shift the contours of tbe sandy beach a s they move In and o u t They car-ry soldiers ' bodies out to sea. and la ter they return them. They cover the corpses of heroes with sand, and then In their whima they uncover them.

As I plowed out over the wet sand of the beach on that first day ashore, I walked around what seemed te be a couple of pieces of driftwood sticking out of the sand. But they weren't driftwood.

They were a soldier 's two feet . He was completely covered by the shifting sands except for his feet. The toes of his G.I. shoes pointed toward the land be had come so fa r to see, and which he saw so briefly.

couple of doughboys leisurely guard-ing them with Tommy guns.

The prisoners too were looking nut IO sea—the same bit of sea that for months and years had been so safely empty before their ga te . Now they stood s ta r -ing a lmost as If In a t rance.

They didn't say a word to each other. They didn't need te. The expression on their faces w a s something lorev.;; unforgettable. In it w a s the final horrified ac-ceptance of their doom.

If only all Germany could have had the rich experience of s tanding on the bluff and looking oat across the water and seeing what their compatriots saw.

• • •

Along the Normandy beaches ex-tends a thin little line, Just like a high-water mark , for miles along the beach. This Is the strewn per-sonal gear, gear thct will never be needed again, of those who fought and died to give us our entrance into Europe.

Here in a jumbled row for mile on mile a re soldiers' packs. Here are socks and shoe polish, sewing kits, diaries, Bibles and hand grenades. Here a re the latest letters from home, with the address on each one neatly razored out—one of the se-curi ty precautions enforced before the boys embarked.

Here a re toothbrushes and razors, and snapshots of families back home star ing up at you from the sand. Here a re pocketbooks, metal mir-rors , extra trourers, and bloody, abandoned shoes. Here a re broken-handled shovels, and portable ra-dios smashed almost beyond recog-nition, and m i n e detectors twisted and ruined.

Here a re tow pistol belts and can-vas water buckets, flrst-ald kits and Jumbled heaps of lifebelts. I picked up a pocket Bible with a soldier 's n a m e In it, and put it in my j a c k e t I carr ied it half a mile or so and then put it back down on the beach. I don't know why I picked it up, or why I put it back down.

• • •

Over and around this long thin line of personal anguish, f resh men to-day a re rushing vast supplies to keep our armies pushing on into F rance . Other squads of men pick amidst the wreckage to salvage am-munition and equipment that are still usable.

Men worked and slept on the beach for days before the last D-day vic-t im was taken away for burial.

I stepped over the form of one ynnngster whom I thought Uead. Bui when I looked down I saw he wai only sleeping. He was very young, and very tired. He lay on one el-bow, his hand suspended in the air about six Inches f rom the ground. And in the palm of his hand he held a large, smooth rock.

I stood and looked at him a long time. He seemed In his sleep to hold that rock lovingly, as though U were his last link with a vanishing world. 1 have no idea at all why he went (• sleep with the reck in his hand, or what kept him from dropping it once he was asleep. It was Just eaa sf these iHtle tht- t t without explanation, that a per-son remembers for a long time.

NON-TAXING PAYING POWER PROJECTS

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, with money of the taxpayers of the nation, has built a number of large electric power plants, Including TVA, Grand Coulee, Bonneville and other smaller ones. They are locat-ed, not where they might be m o i t needed, but where the hydro power can be had.

These federal power projects pay no taxes, either county, s ta te or fed-e r a l They have no fixed interest charges to meet, for the taxpayers have provided the funds needed to construct them. Those responsible for their construction claim they will serve as an index to the cost of pro-ducing electricity by which to fix prices charged by privately owned utilities.

A privately owned utility that is. expected to. and does, com-pete in a price way with these government pro jec ts is the Ce-iumbla Gas and Electr ic corpo-ration, serving cities, towns and f a r m s hi Ohio, Kcntocky, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, a section ef New York, and Maryland.

The money to supply the plants, transmission and pipe lines of that corporation was provided by 62,329 American citizens, of whom 38,482 were women. They a re the stock-holders and these stockholders have a total investment of just about 727 million dollars.

While the government-constructed and owned plants pay no taxes, the Columbia corporation paid as taxes 27 cents out of each dollar it re-ceived f rom the sale of Its products. More than oue-fourth of its total rev-enue went to the support of govern-m e n t Out of each d o l a r of its re-ceipts, It paid to those who provided the plants—the stockholders—five cents. Out of tha i five cents each stockholder pold as income taxes not less than one c e n t one-ilfth of what he received.

Eighteen cents out of eacb dollar of revenue was paid to employees. Of that 18 cents, 17 went to those receiving wages of less than $5,000 a year and one cent to those receiving salar ies of $5,000 or more. Two cents out of each dollar was set aside lo provide for replacements, expansion and rainy-day periods that m a y come even to utilities.

The Columbia corporation paid tn taxes In 1S43 more than 38 million dollars. I t Is but one of a la rge number of privately owned utilities. 1 have no Idea as to what h s taxes paid by all such utilities would he. but it Is an enormous sum. If our Wash-ington economic planners should succeed In taxing or legislating these pr ivately owned utilities out of business, the taxes they a re paying for the support of lo-cal, s ta te and federa l govern-ment must be ce^ected from ether sources, and would mean more for each and eve ry »ac of a s te pay. I t would also mean a loss for 82,329 stockholder American citizens. ^

How Ernie's Fellow

When I went ashore an ths soil of F r a n c e the first thing I wanted to io was hunt up the other corre-spondents I bad said good-by to a few days previously in England.

I t was early in tbe morning, be-fore the boys had s tar ted out on their day 's round of covering the war. I found them in foxholes dug into the r e a r slope of a grassy hill about a half-mile f r o m the beach.

Correspondents Fared j

Fi rs t of all we checked with each other on what we had heard about other correspondents. Most of them were oJt. One had been killed, aud one was supposed to have been lost on a si-nken ship, but we didn't know who. One or two had been wounded. Three of our best f r iendi had not been heard f rom a t all. and it looked bad. but they have since turned up safe.

FOOD WILL BE ONLY A FRACTION O F FARM OUTPUT

A FEW DAYS B E F O R E the close of World War I, Andrew Tardleu. a m e m b e r of the French cabinet, said to m e in P a r i s :

" F r a n c e will not again be a good customer for American farm prod-ucts. Now we mus t provide our own food, and in the Niger valley In Africa, raise our own cotton. We will have nothing left with which to buy f r o m Amer ica . "

After tbe close of tha t war France did ra ise much of he r cotton in Africa, she did great ly increase her food production; she was not again a good customer of American farms. What was true of F r a n c e was also true of much of Europe. The foreign marke t for American f a r m products was gone. For one or two years fol-lowing the closi of this w a r Europe will provide a m a r k e t for American-produced food, for which America will pay. After tha t the present war-devastated countries will have re-sumed production and will feed themselves.

Instead ef the American farm-er feeding the hungry of Europe, he will be feeding the machines ef American indaatry, producing crops that can be used fat indus-trla! production, in the future food will be only a part of onr farm prodactieo, and what has largely been farm waote will also have a value. For that *ver IncreaUng tndnstrlal maiLet, the fanner's thanks should go largely lo Wheeler McMlUea and to Henry Ford.

We can never hope to give as much as t ha t f r i end of yours who died In act ion. H e was In a t ank dest royer u n i t T h a t ' s dan-gerous.

JONKMAN f o r CONGRESS

Sth District TUESDAY, JULY l l th ,

The Congretsional Primary Campaign in the Sth District will be the shortest on record. It is an unusual campaign because Mr. Jonkman, the incumbent Congressman is confronted by an opponent of extreme international political views who claims to be an Internationalist. Mr. Jonk-man standi only as a Republican, on his rrcord.

Does Not Permit a Discussion of the Issues Republican Voters Should Be on Guard

The CJ.O. political action committee has marked Jock~ian for defeat. This is a matter of published record. It is not idle talk.

The New Deal has no contests worth mentioning. Will the C.I.O. Democrats vote in the Republican Primary to toy to eliminate Congressman Jonkman, and then if they fail, concentrate on him in the general election?

lEPIILIOMS SHOILI TNIIK THK OVER CMEFILLY Mr. Jonkman will have only a few days to campaign before the primary.

As an important member of the foreign affairs committee in the House your Congresamun has been working hard. During the time of his service it has not been easy. Before the war, the thoughts uppermost in his mind and heart were for all our brave men and women now in the armed forces. He has devoted much of his time dining wartime in serving the families back home of the service men and women.

Up and down and all over Washington his duties are a virtual avalanche of needs and helps for those families. Over 30,000 men and women in the Sth districx are serving ul tbe armed forces. True, the Red Cross and government agencies handle these matters, yet there are many, many demands on your Congressman and he is domg a good job. Seeking information about those missing or dead; pay allotments; insurance claims: locating; protecting claims; advice; what to do about this and what to do about that. Letters and calls pour in and he gives prompt direction and answers. Then there are calls from farmers, businessmen and manufacturers. These must all be taken care of.

Do you know that Mr. Jonkman together with all Michigan Republican Con-gressmen tried and will continue to try to kill the obnoxious use tax on cars?

Keep^your experienced and competent Republican Congressman on the job

" W h y 1 Want to Go to Congress"

m Hardly a home in Kent or Ottawa County that does not long for the return CF BOOM

loved one now wearing the uniform of our Republic.

Thousands of families have gone through the angui'h of saying farewell.

Many of those families now know that they never will experience the joy of a loved one's homecoming.

Many more live in fear and dread of receiving that fateful telegram that cancels ad future furloughs. Only one who has gone through the leave-taking can fully understand—

f have had thai experience. 1 have stood dry-eyed and gripped the mother's hand as we said farewell to oar boy.

Now — he is "somewhere with the marines." I think that I know how thousands of other fathers fed and I want to do just what I

think thousands of other fathers want done — "f want to put an end to tear!" Frankly, 1 don't trust our present congressman to do the kind of a job 1 want to

Rep. Chas. R. Feenstra In War-Time Farming . With His Daughters* Aid The Activities of This Outstanding Family

and AccomplisKments in Producing Food Most Interesting in Story and Picturef

The followlmt ar t ic le U taken f rom a recent Iwue of lhe South Kent County New*,

The subject of this story is none other than the family of Charles R. Feenstra. who Is,Representative of Second District. Kent county, and a Paris township farmer, living on 44th street. SE. Our acquaintance with the Feenstra family dates back , to our early entry Into the news- i1

paper business south of the city of J Grand Rapids.

We knew Mr. Feenstra first as supervisor of Paris township and a fanner from the very beginning, and naturally considered most of his time spent In what most folks would say "politics" and could not connect him up as a successful, hard-working farmer until a few months ago. Ac-cldentnlly, we aaked him about some of his farm activities and to our sur-prise he began to tell us what he had done with the aid of the daugh-ters, and It was so Interesting a story we wanted to get the low-down and went right af ter the whole story for News readers.

Rep. and Mrs. Feenstra are mem-bers of a very popular Holland church and the parents of a most outstanding all-girl family of seven who are "home lovers" to the fullest extent, which Is attested to by the | R«presentative from Snfl District, joy and happiness these girls get at • Kent County, Charles R.

S'WARUWUi

For him the terrifying grand climax of the war is at hand.

The supreme military r i s k -bloody, costly in American lives.

Our boys know this. They don't have to read the heart-rending headlines or casualty lists to know what is ex-pected of them.

They are in it.

Sut they are not flinching . . . not holding back.

They will see the grim ven-ture through to the bitter, victorious end.

And if, for your boy, or some boy you know, the price of Victory is death, you can be absolutely certain that he did his part courageously. . . for the cause of Freedom.

For us, too, the terrifying grand climax of the war is at hand.

This supreme, desperate call for American dollars—16 bil-lions of them-—is to enable our fighting men to carry through the grim, bloody as-sault to a successful conclu-sion and Victory.

Not just American dollars— but the dollars in your pocket —in your savings account.

You must buy War Bonds— now! At least twice as much as you bought last time. If you are already buying Bonds on a pay-roll savings plan, buy EXTRA Bonds during this Drive.

Your Government is count-ing on you. Your boy—and your neighbor's boy —mil-lions of them—are counting on you. Just as desperately as you are counting on them in this fateful hour.

• Don't Ut them downl Do your part—as they are doing theirs. Dig down, Amer ica -dig down deep! While there is still time. This is America's Zero Hour-—Civilization's Zero Hour!

N one oi his fuviirite s tor ies AhrMhniii L.iurulu Id Is of II boy whu WHS seen carryiiig his

younger brother up n steep hill. Observing lhe elTorl the older boy was mnklng, nn adult cflllec) to him, "Isn' t that o pretty heavy burden for you, s o n ? " H i e boy replied, "It 's not n burden, s i r ; It's my brother ."

How true it is that love makes burdens light I Indeed, real love dTaces all sense of burden. Great love is needed to lighten the bur-dens of a troubled world. Genuine, unfoltering, compassionate love is needed: love that is the rcllection and expression of divine Ixwe, Life, and Tru th ; that lifts thought ..hove the mortal belief of man as sick, suifci-inK. dying, in danger , and points to the perfect man, for-ever held In Ihe loving cmtjrace of his Father-Mother God.

Freedom from all that shackles and enslaves must come through spiri tual unders tanding of God and through the conscious rellec-tion tT divine I^ove in daily life. All men desire l iberty — freedom fron . limilalion of every kind. But loo many still look to a material source for f reedom instead of »ceking Uberatior. through the knowledge of God. .

Divine Love docs not place burdens on man, for Love is al-ways Love, conscious of no oppo-sil« quality. A h u m a n p a r e n t would not deliberately place bur-dens of illness, suffering and lack on his chi ldren; much less ore such burdens imposed by ou r heavenly Fa ther . His idea, man, is good, expressing health, happi-ness, abundance, assurance, and peace. Freedom f rom every sense of burden can be gained here and now as the wholly spir i tual na-ture of God ond man. Fa the r and sen, is understood. God is the only cause, and man and the uni-verse are spir i tual , like Him.

It is encouraging to note that tn these diilicult days great numbers of people are actuated by the de-sire to lift the burdens of o the r s and to make the way br igh te r fo r them. On every side we h e a r of

loving ministrat ion and of the giv-ing of spiritual c o m f o r t These outward indications of pure affec-tion for our bro ther man are note-wor thy signs of J h e limes. This desire to be of service const i tutes a great power fo r good and should be s trengthened by enl ightened prayer . Of p rayer that ia effec-tive and f ru i t fu l Mary Baker Eddy wri tes in "Sdence and Health wi th Key to the Scr ip tures" (p. 1), "The p r i y e r that r e fo rms the s inner and heals the sick is an absolute fai th that all things a r e possible to Go^, — a s p i r i t u a l unders tanding of Him, an tin-sel fed love."

Christ Jesus emphasized t w o great commandments (Luke 10: 27): "Thou sbalt love the Lord thy God with all thy hear t and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thysdf ." ObMience to these command-ments is true prayer. Truly to love God we most know Him; and truly to love our brother man, v e roust know htm as he really is ia God's s ight We learn to lova God and man proportion ably as we know God as divine Mind and man as His idea. . . .

Material sense claims Insis-tently that man is separate from God; that b« la sick, tonaly, and in danger. It even appears to make good its claims, for nation fights nation and race belittles race. All these da ims of evil, however, should serve only to challenge oa to more consecrated prayer for all mankind. It is hot enough to pray once a day or even once an hour. Onr lives must be a contin-uous prayer. Our words and acta must be so permeated with the assurance of divine Love's pres-ence and power that the whole world will feel the henling e f f ec t Great problems of wor and peace await solution. These problems must be solved through tbe under-standing of infinite l^)ve dispell-ing the belief of hatred, fear, and destrudion. This is truly lifting the burden. — The Chrittian Set-cnoe Monitor.
