There is much talk going on these das in re- gard to post-war planning. Some say that we should forget about postwar planning and think first about winning the war. Thaiafter we have won the war we should make our plans. Others say that we should make our post-war plans now. This is a serious problem that confronts the American people. It is my opinion thmzwe should make post-war plans now. We should make them new so that we will not have made the same mistake when the war is over this time that we made in the last war. During the last war the conquered nations of the world looked to us for protection. After the war they also expected aid in some ways from the United States. It was much to their disappointment that they did not receive the expected aid. By the United States not helping these countries, they lost faith in us. It was not so much the material aid that they needed as it was aid in the settlement of the politi- cal disputes that resulted from the war. They knew that what the United States ssh in l P6 CAl C.n to these problems would cany weight. We failed them. It is here that we lost the peace of the first World War. As we look the present situation over, we see that there is a similarity tothe situation of World War I. Thenaare theconquered nations run down. They are probably more so new than they were during the last war. Many of their people have starved and many more are nearly so. It probably is material aid that they want at present, but later they will need help in the settlement of their oder problems. To whom are they going to turn for ther aid? Will thq' turn toward the United States or will theyturn elsewhere? In view of the fact that we failed them the last time, they will not turn to us unless some post-war plans are made and the necessary steps taken to carry them out. Then, if we are to-win thewar and alsswin the peace, we will require the cooperation of all the na- cont. on p. 5 HJOHNIY APPLESEED --Elizabeth Lewis 5 .................... Johnny Chapman, bet- ter known as Johnny Appleseed, was from new England. He was well known in this re- gion and had a passion for raising and culti- vating' apple trees. He first appeared in Western Ohio and Penn- sylvania in the out- skirts of the settle- ment. When newsettlers came in, Johnny was ready for thenwith his young trees. He either gave them away or sold them fa'a small amunt. Thus he proceeded for many years until the country was settled. About 20 yars later he moved to the far west to continue the useful- ness of his cares: His personal appearance was as singular as his character. He was quick and restless in his motions. He had a long beard and dark eyes. His clothes were old and often he was bare- foot. Everyone treated him with kindness even the Indians. Johnny was famous in Ohio as early as 1911. When asked if he would not be happier with a wife and family he re- plied that all women weren't what they pro fessed to be. A man cont. on'p. 5

DOING YOUR BEET As graduation approaches, the high school seniors all over the United.States face the most difficult problem in many years. This problem is war. Boys especiallygmd many girls willte unable to reswme their education in the way they would like to do. Most of the boys who leave school will soon be in the armed forces. In their section of the armed forces some may be sent to colleges and universities for education needed by their specific work, but for the most part their education will be gained from experience and not from professors in colleges. Girls, what will be your contribution to the war effort? How many of you are planning to join our forces? In this war, women have a chance to join the armed forces although there I I I I I I L I 1 I I I I I I I m,,l.s.I.-. to PaE?L2 is no drafting, only enlistment.Bbsides en- listments there is war workof many kinds that is very essential tcan early victory. What will be your contribu- tion? As we go to th1s new problem, remember that the we do today, and . typeof work we dq determine what we doin the years to The boys on battle frontwill not win this war -alone. Our beak in'factories, on farms and to the women's forces will slay essential parts. Our boys can win only if the type of work we do in factories is the best. Medium won't do. Farmers must raise las much on their farms as possible.Alnost enough isn't what is needed. Women of today must learn to work? in the places to which they are assigned and learn to work industriously. To all the Seniors whograduate and to all other war workers the best is what is needed Let's all therefore give our very best at all times. face lets work the will will come the ASSto Editor How much better off all of us would be if we would tackle our present work in the spirit that the gold prospector seeks his precious metal! Look for your gold mine in the job you are doing now, in the community or town where you are living now.It -is there. Dig for it.
