No Bargaining
For Freedom
By Ruth Taylpr
We are at war—actual op n war at
last. And yet—we have been in a war
ever since Hitler fjret laid down in
'‘TMein Kampf” his plan of world domi
nation. The trouble has been that we
dd not open our eyes to ;ts verity at
a time when we could have won with
out armed conflict.
SVe have learn ad in bloodshed that
the day of the formal declaration of
war is over. They attack f-rst now and
talk afterwards. The war against this
country by the totalitarian powers had |
option—but it has been waged for years
no formal declaration to mark its in
Infiltration, agitation among divided na
tionality givups, appeals to racial and
religious prejudices, economic pressures
Athe polite term for blackmail), sabotage ^
rabble rousing by pow°r corrupted de-|
nsBgogues—do we need to see goose step
ping the streets of Washington to rec
ogsize an invasion?
There is no sense in being in a fight
without putting forth every effort to
Win it. Every last one of us is a soldjer!
with a task to do-—fipm the boys in the
camp-, learning how to get along to
housewife, studying how to make and'
and how to dp without; from the busi- j
ness man reorganizing often not only ’
nis methods pf operation but his pro-|
duct its-lf; to the child in school, learn
ing history while it is being made.
War means sacrifice. We cannot bar
gain over the qost of freedom. Withhout
freedom, we have nothing leftt. W?1
must pay the full measure of sacrifice
to keep inviolate 1 or democracy for
those who follow. And that sacrifice
can not be shifted. We must now meet i
our obligation to the past We must j
give up, we must conserve, we musi j
. make do. Small demands mean a rma'l
| eflprt. But these are great demand? J
gether as well as how to fight, to the
which call for an equally great efor
Let’s stop haggling over tie cost c
Freedom. Either we want it pr we d
not This is OUR war —a n d we wi]
have to pay for it, not only in mone;
but wi,th that last extra ounce pt EF
FORT which alone can bring victory.

SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT
CAUSE RAISE
A large number of presi
dents have been sending in sup

an increase of $5.00 in the a
mount paid. We now have checks

claim. This brings the total
amount paid for December up to
. $130.00. Hurrah for our hust

ting on a dispensation which
closes in the March Boards. The
joining fee will be 70c instead of
$1.00. The five presidents add
ing the largest number of mem
bers above ten, fifteen, twenty,
twenty-five and thirty, will be
given cash prizes in the Boards
which will equal as much as
$30.00 or more to be distributed
among them. The drive for new

My New 1942 Astrology Readings
Are R’ady
M.V.—My daddy died this year July 28
Tell me if 1 should file a claim to see
if I can get his social security mpney?
i need it very much.
Ans: If you will-contact the Social
Board 1b 7% acetan, j UHore
they will tell you hpw to go about col
lecting this money. They will be glad
to advise you as to just how you should
gp about filling your claim. Be sure to
keep a record of your father's social
security number and furnish same with
your claim.
Z. Z.—I’m writing you in regards to a
girl that I am thinking of npw. Ws
went together for a while and she said
she was in love with me and could not
iva without me. She went out pf the
city. I saw her once in five month.}
A’hat is she doing, she don’t write and
should I take a chance with her?
'ins: She exaegerated her feeling a lit
tle hilt wHen she said she “couldn’t
rive without you’’ for she seems to be
dofc\g right w U by herself. Fact is
a as met a prospective husband in her
new surroundings, and she has forgot
ten all about her romance with you
Sorry.
CM.—This fall my roosters stopped
crowing. I have neVr seen anything
ike that before. They were fine all
summer ard would beat the hens up
good and npw th ~y just quit crowing
and pay no attention to the hens. So
1 killed the two old rposters to send
them away and I found they were seed
.’ss. Who did it?
Ans: Old age. They gave a good ac
count of tremselves when they were
ypung and in their prime. I do believe
you could improve on your flock by
buying the very beet quality chickens
instead of trying to hatch ypur own
eggs. Your feed ptore Inan can giv?
you some helpful information alqo, I do
lot believe you have your hens on thp
best r eding diet. As for blaming a
neighbor For your troubles, you may
dismiss this from your mind. This
trouble is a qarnmon one.
I.C.—His “pouting spell” is only tempo
rary. He’ll be back after Christmas. It
seems ha ccuht not aflprd to buy any
kind o nice present for you—so he pick
ed a fu>ss as the best way of getting out
of his predicament. If ypu ask me—he's
a tightward.
M.D.—My daughter has always been a
big stout girl for the past Few months
she has fallen OFF and she doesn't look
like h 'i' felf. She is just thin. Her face
"p even long and it used to be so round
l am worried about her. She doesn’t
want to go any place to visit and doesn’t
g > to church either.
As's: Th re is but one thing for you
to do ar.d that is to MAKE your dau
ghter to the Doctor for a checkup
When women get pregnant they need a
doctor’s care more than ever. So many
things can get out of order while la
this condition. She is jeopardizing her
own health, and the health pf her un
born child to neglect herself this way.
Use force if necessary to see that she
is put under a physician’s care. k ^
Jacq— I am a constant reader of your
q>lumw. It’s very investing. Mr. Abbe*
I am living with my mother, and she
doesnot treat me like she treats the
rest of her children. Til y all seem to
take turns picking at me. Should I
many this boy that I have been court
ing ibr a couple of years?
»■
Ans: Your mother and the rest of the
amily Feel t .at you spend entirely tOr
much time courting and not enpugh
studying and doing your share of the
work around the house. You seem to
forget that in big families all members
have to pull together and do their rights
ful share. You’re falling dpwn on your
end of the job and it is a little unfair
of you to place all the blame on the
rest of theFamily. Better Finish your
schooling before getting married.
