194-4- ing war machines for the German armies. You would work there until noon. Then you would rush down the street to the nearest bread shop to get a lunch. A big lunch!!! You'd get a slice of bread and a glass of muddy water. Then back to the factory immediately to work until you could hardly stand. You then would grab another A' lunch . Your food supply and money allotments are limitedg hence you have no worries about over-eating. Ah, then to a movie? Sure and what would you have? Musical, comedy, or drama? It makes no difference which you prefer because the Nazis always have some propaganda movies to show how their in- vincible armies are conquering the world. CThey do this by running the film from the Russian and other fronts backwardsl These are meant to lower the morale of the French people until they become harmless. But strangely enough the French people are ready, ready for the coming invasion. Most of the people in this country would fold up in about two weeks under the conditions mentioned. They are the ones who cannot go without something even when it goes for bettering the world for tomorrow. Let's not complain if some of our pleasures are taken from usg let's think of our boys fighting at the front, boys who might get that extra bullet or gallon of gas just in time to save his life. So let's tighten our belts and set- tle right down to the hardships of war - and look ahead to victory. - Philip Smiley. PRESERVING VICTORY AVE you ever caught a snowflake on your mittened hand and had the desire to keep the dainty piece of art? How quickly it melts to nothing. If we don't preserve our victory after we have acquired it, how quickly it will vanish. How much more valuable victory is than a small snowdrop and yet. are people thinking any more about preserving it than they are the latter? True. hrst we must achieve our victory, but let's look ahead to the daywhen we must set about to keep this victory of ours forever. Never again in twenty or thirty years will we be hit over the head and wake up dazed to find ourselves in the midst of a war. From now on our eyes will be open and our ears alert to all our global neigh- bors. Although we want to be on the best of terms with everyone, we won't believe that everyone is the best of friends with the U. S. A. and couldnt possibly be planning a surprise for us. VVe'll in- vestigate to find out what is going on on the other side of the world and then act for the best interests of what we proudly consider the best country in the world - America. How about the countries that keep pop- ping up every score of years or so to kill off our boys and break the hearts of those who love them? NVill they be allowed to do it again? Not if your vote and my vote can prevent it. And ca11 we prevent it? We can because this is America, where the newspaper boy can talk to the major a11d your son can become Presi- dent. This is America, 4' The land of the free and the home of the brave, and we, the youth of America. plan to keep it that way. - Pauline Hall.
