1 0 PINE NEEDLES continue with it for his life work, whereas the person who spends all his spare time in the pool room will pro- bably get rid of all his money there, and not gain anything in the end. Of course a person should spend some of his leisure time out of doors, whether his hobby is an outdoor one or not, but this should be easy enough, for who doesn't like to swim, play ten- nis, hike, skate, ski, go toboganning, sliding, or canoeing? Many Americans devote altogether too much time to the movies, the roller-skating rink, or oth- er public amusements. Because people in our country do some sort of inside work, if they do not spend part of their leisure time out of doors, they will not be very healthy. In several states there are some sugar diabetes camps where the patients have to stay out of doors all the time, even sleep out of doors in the winter! Doctors believe in fresh air, even for the healthiest of us. Regardless of how you have been spending your leisure time, why don't you resolve to do something profitable hereafter, something that will develop and strengthen your body and mind, something that will promote high standards of character and growth of personality, and something which will lead you to a Wider acquaintanceship with desirable friends and compan- ions? VICTORY VERSUS DEFEAT For the past fifty years Japan's main aim has been expansion, and for the past fifty years Japan has been expanding. She has taken over, at one time or another, Russian, Chinese, German, and French territory. The United States, not wanting to start a war, did not take a belligerent stand. The United States made treaties, sunk her own warships, and made disarm- ament her policy. Japan violated treaties, built a huge navy, and has for some time been secretly arming and training her people for war. Japan's greatest show of treachery was her sneak attack on December 7, while her special ambassadors were talking peace with our leaders. America mustn't be disheartened by setbacks resulting from this sur- prise attack. She must remember that the Japanese have been preparing and training for that for a long time. The Japanese are at their peak. Their industries and manpower have reach- ed their limit. United States industries and manpower are just getting started. From now on Japan must surely de- cline, while America will steadily rise in production and power until a point is reached at which we are able to take the offensive and drive Japan on the road to defeat.
