Proposal For Pithy Pamphlet
BY PETER EDSON
The Banner-Herald Washington Correspondent.
Munro Leaf, the young author who made Ferdi
nand the most famous bull in the world, and then
went on to write the Watchbird books and the se
ries of books called Grammar Can Be Fun, Man
ners Can Be Fun, Health Can Be Fun, and so on, is
now a major in the Army, stationed in the big Pen
tagon building across the Potomac from Washing
ton. Mum has had several jobs, mostly in public re
lations for the Army Service Forces.
Anyway, all this gives birth to a swell idea. War
being such a serious business, and Army’s regula
tions being so frightfully dull, how would it be if
Major Leaf were assigned the job of putting some
of the War Department’s orders into language that
the people could understand? As a sample of what
might be expected, with tongue in cheek, and apol—]‘
ogies to the author, we now give you a few para-l
phrased paragraphs of what might be called “War‘
Can Be Fun,” or “The Watchbirds in the War De
partment,” or “How to Shoot the Ferdinand.” '

Waster. This is one creature we certainly don’t
want around these days. It's a War Department
- Waster. This Waster has spent too much of his Un

really needed in the war effort, with the result that
the War Department is going to be investigated by
a Congressional Committee. Let’s hope this Waster
gets some sense before it's too late. Were you a
WASTER today? ® |

his salute smartly, acts timid and shy as though it
were scared to death, and half lifts a droopy hand
in about as nice a salute as you would make with
an old wet dishrag. Were you a Droopy-Hand to

sense and usually just gabble, gabble, gabble. It is
‘ bad enough to be a Gabbler at any time, but right
now, while we are at war and telephone lines are
needed for important War Department business, it
"is unpatriotic to be a Gabbler. Were you a Gabbler

“OLD-HELL-FOR-LEATHER” PATITON
While Lieutenant General Patton
known as the fighting general of the
’Um‘ted States Army has not been in the
! lime light for some time, his turning up
in England has hrought a source of satis
faction to not only the public, but to the
armed forces that are preparing for the
’invasion. His trouble in the Mediterran
ean caused General Eisenhower to admin
lister to him a severe rebuke, which at the
ttime gave color to a serious split in the
Army that might end disastrously for all
concerned. However, Lt.-General Patton
made proper apologies which were ac
cepted and now he is back in good stand
ing with the Army and his men. So much
so that it is believed that he will bhe
chosen to take a prominent part in the
invasion program, which gsome think is
near at hand. Le.-General Patton possess
¢s a firey temper which some times gets
from under his control, and then he
breaks over and says that which is in his
mind and often his thoughts are not in
keeping with polite manners.
However, all differenceg have been set
tled between him and General Eisensow
er and he is back in line, “ready to go,”
when the invasion is called. His men re
spect and honor him for his bravery and
daring exploits that he has made since
the beginning of the war. They know that
he can be depended upon to lead them
to victory regardless of cost. Of all the
officers in the Allied Armies none are
feared more by the enemy than is Patton.
They know his disposition and determina
tion to win and that he leaves nothing
undone to carry out his plans success
fully.
Now that “Old-Hell-For-Leather” is
back in line, it may be expected that his
command will be among the leading
forces in the invasion campaign on Ger
many.
A SHIPBUILDING RECORD
Since the beginning of the war, Ameri
ca has broke all records as a shipbuilding
nation. Not only battleships, but barges,
transports, submarines, supply ships and
all other kind needed for carrying on the
the war ang meeting the demands for
oversea purposes.
The ship builderg have prided them
selves on turning out all contracts placed
with them by the government, but they
have met the demands without delay and
often launched the ships and boats a head
of time. This action on the part of the
ship builders is an indication of not only
their interest in aiding in war activities,
but proof of their patriotism.,
THE LEND-LEASE PINCHES OUR
« ENEMIES
There are members in Congress who
are opposed to the lend-lease system for
no other reason than political. The oppo
sition comes from the Republican side,
and that, of course, can be expected. Had
it not been for the aid of this govern
ment many of the friendly countries
would have been starved and destroyed
long ago. Besides, the lend-lease hag held
them together and kept them friendly
with the United States. It ig true, how
ever, that little of the debts contracted
by these countries will ever be paid for,
yet it has proved a good investment for
the United States. The firm stands the na
tions have taken in favor of the Allies
has been a thorn in the side of our ene
mies, and will continue so to be.. If the
United States never receives a penny for
its supplieg sent to these friendly nations,
we will be the better off for having
done so.
Of course, there are a few Republicans,
m both Houses, who are criticising and
opposing a continuation of the lend-lease
system, but the foundation for their acts
is political with the hopes that a preju
diced mind may have some influence on
the voters in the November election.
Such opposition, we believe will lose the
Republican party more votes than it will
gain for it.
One consolation, however, is the fact
that the system of aid has saved from
starvation millions of human beings who
otherwise could not have received food,
raiment or other supplies of necessities.
That is worth considering to say nothing
of gaining their friendship and holding
them as friendly countries. So long as
this war last, it may be depended that
the lend-lease system of aid for foreign
countries will be continued—after the
war—then that ig another proposition.

GE()HCM’S new war power plant is already under way!
A 51,000,000 addition to Plant Atkinson located on the
Chattahoochee river near Atlanta, is being constructed to
supply the mounting demands of the Bell bomber plant,
shops making aircraft parts and precisioh instruments for
the Army and Navy, textile mills turning out equipment
for soldiers and sailors, 6il pipe line pumping stations and
other urgent war needs. ’
When the big 100,000 horsepower unit is completed in
the summer of 1945, Plant Atkinson will be the largest
power plant in Georgia, one of the largest steam - electric
plants in the Southeast. Its three whirling power generators
will be able to turn out 4.500.000 kilowatt hours a day —
more than one third of Georgia’s total needs. -
The War Production Board approved the immediate
construction of Plant Atkinson’s addition as an essential
part of the ever-growing war production program in the
Atlanta area and throughout Georgia.
After the war, it will be a tremendous foree to fill the
needs of peace —lto provide power for new industries and
the expanded operation of existing industries; for new stores
and homes: for newly-electrified farms; for Georgia’s march
ing progress.

“Uncle” Dave Turner, edi- ‘
tor and owner of the Bulloch
Times, is a poet of rare (
talents, a humorist and en
dowed with an over supplv of
wit which stands him well in
hand for all occasions.
In a recent issue of the Times,
“Uncle” Dave has written a story
on @ soldier who “Found the Lost
Day”’—his birthday. Following is
the story. Editor Turner caps it
with an original poem which is
applicable to the alleged occur
rence. It reads:
“In the papers a few days ago
there was a right fascinating
story—maybe real, maybe fanci
ful—which told es a soldier lad
who sailing westward a year ago,
crossed the meridian in the Pa
cific at which authorities have
arbitrarily fixed the beginning
and ending of days. By this sys
tem, a day is skipped. It was the
lad’s birhtday, and he was there
by robbed of this by juggling of
the calendar. Exactly a year later
the lad was returning home from
the west, and by the same system
of astronomy the lost day was
picked up, and he was given two
birthdays in succession, restoring
the one he had lost the year pre
ceding. It was inevitable that he
had made this find at the point
he had lost it, which is a philoso
phy which well applies to all the
affairs of life.

The sun which to one seems its
course to have run,
In the and Just Ahead is a new
: day begun.
Soft clouds floating by, mark the
place of the sun—
Is a day being born, or its course
fully run?
The answer comes back, the
course of its race
Depends on the turn of each
traveler’s face;
The tender pink rays which
stream from above
Are the gentle assurance of a
Father’s love.
The shades we call night, which
SO soon pass away,
Are but to make brighter the
coming new day.
The sun which to one seems its
course to have run,
In the Land Just Aheal is a new
day begun.
And when the worn traveler goes
slowly ahead
Past the Meridian of life, where
hopes have seemed dead—
When Time’s thief has robbed him
of treasures loved most—
He needs but face ’round to find
that which was lost.”
