THE GRACLE 25 -xi-Qs. A World Figure of To-day Winston Churchill, Britain's bulwark, is to-day f l, the most outstanding figure in the World and, I . U 1' think, also in history. He stands there in Britain 4' leading and directing the armed forces to a glorious and resounding victory over Hitler and his evil hordes of men who are trying to enslave the world. As a colossus, Hitler stands in Germany with his one foot over most of the countries of Europe, and he is trying to secure the other foot in England but always slips off Churchill's back into the Channel. Churchill is a friend of everyone who loves peace and democracy. He con- stantly visits the barracks of the soldiers, airmen and sailors, encouraging them on to victory with the most appealing words, and it fills them with new hope and faith even if faced with defeat by greater numbers. When the times seem darkest, this aBulldog of Britaini' will broadcast to the people of the British Empire and the world, encouraging them to hold on till the last and victory will be theirs. In the bomb-shattered streets of London, Churchill will be seen among the very humblest of families comforting them and sharing their losses. His ever-increasing strength is a barrier to the Nazi hounds which run loose on the continentg and under the leadership of Winston Churchill we will soon see these traitors of democracy running, but not loose. They will be running to escapethe English bulldogs who will corner them up in their own country, Germany. Then Churchill will be able to sit under the gnarled oak of England, smoking his cigar in peace. -DONALD FREEMAN Sailors, Beware lContinued from Page 203 Q left to ponder why I did not die a cious life.

Someone lashed me to the raft and an hour later we were sighted by the United States coast guards. We were rescued. I am now in Marine Hospital. I am well on my way to recovery but over half the crew are sleeping in the tempest- tossed grave. The brave radio operator, who gave our position and our plea for help, went down with the Yukon Prince . My buddy Charlie is not among the list of survivors, but I am sailor what hour we sailed, we s the doom of our ship. I have enrolled for service in the navy itself and next week I leave for training. Some day, God willing, I shall square accounts with a Nazi U-boat. That will be the happiest day of my life. I will soon be squared with that Nazi who tipped the U-boat as to the convoy's sailing time, for I have given a detailed description of him to the F .B.I.'s agents and they will comb the hotels of the waterfront until they get him and he will be punished according to his crime.

The nights they grow darker, And each evening lengthens, While the brief day turns cold And the north wind strengthens. The t' ' tny little snowflakes will leave the sky, fall down to mother earth thicker by and by. will soon be covered With nature,s mantle white, The trees will all be laden With snowflakes soft and light. The wind will whirl them into drifts, The children hail the snow With their happy beaming faces As they run to and fro. Men will come with shovels, Children come with sleighs, All the world will be fairyland For many glorious days. -GERTRUDE MATTUSCH, IX B 50 Gm' King George of England is our King, Let us all rejoice and sing, He has lived a noble life In the midst of terror and of strife! He does by his people stand To lend an ever helping hand, He has freedom,s beauty shown, Round the world has made it known. By his love and spirit too He has been a sovereign trueg He has with his words of cheer Banished many a burning fear. God has led him by the hand That he might fully understand The wealth and of simple things, The faith that well-done duty brings. George of England is our King, Let us all revjo-ice and sing, He has lived a noble life In the midst of terror and of strife! -AUDREY HAHN, XIII
