Germans Behaving
Well In Occupied
Territory
ROTGEN, Germany. — In nearly
three weeks of Allied rule the bur-
ghers of “occupied Germany" in the
Aachen area have behaved in an ex-
emplary fashion and have failed to
produce a single known act which
could be described as hostile or
treacherous.
The result has been that nobody
has been in real trouble with the
courts.
In some communities German
feeling has actually gone into re-
verse since our arrival, due either
to the shelling of German communi-
ties by the German army or because
of resentment at the slap-dash, in-
considerate fashion in which the re-
treating German troops carried out
demolition work.
FIRST BANANAS
An airman, home on leave from
North Africa, brought some bananas
for his child.
Seeing the fruit for the first time,
the child exclaimed, “Oh, Daddy!
What big yellow beans!”—Peterbor-
ough Telegraph.
S, 1844
“The greatest thing to fear is fear.”
We Americans should think of that
truth when we begin to fear the
“next” depression, fear of unemploy-
ment, and fear of destruction of Am-
erican ideals. The one sure way to
see all these things come to pass is
to talk them.

Don't Cash Bonds
Unless Necessary
—
Because the Treasury Department
has made it possible for holders of
war bonds to cash them at banks is
no reason why the privilege should
be abused. The new system was or-
ganized solely as a convenience for
those who of sheer necessity must
cash bonds. The government does
not want bonds cashed. Those who
cash theirs, except in extreme emer-
gency, are unnecessarily hampering
the war effort and for every bond
cashed they or some fellow citizen
must be sold another.
There has never been any change
in the sucker quota—one a minute.
Some people dream so much of
the things they art going to do in
the future, they never wake up to
the things that ought to be done
today.

NEWS FROM HOME
The machine-gunner had just come J
out of action somewhere in Italy,
and, back at his base, asked eagerly
for his mail. One postcard only was
handed to him, and came from the j
local post office in his home town.
! It read:
“Dear Sir: This is to notify you
that your gun license has expired.”
Mrs. Brownleigh: “Do you think
I’m going to wear this old squirrel
coat all my life?”
Brownleigh (brightly): “Why not,
dear? The squirrels do.”
“&ary and I were just saying, Judge, how
lucky we are here in America that we have so
many natural resources to help win the war.”
“That’s right, Jim. When war broke out
we had oil, we had steel, we had food,
lumber, aluminum...practically everything
we needed. There’s one thing we didn’t
have... rubber. The enemy had that.”
" But that didn’t bother us for long. Soon
American brains and industry had synthetic
rubber by the tons rolling out of plants. That
filled a critical need... you can’t win a
war without rubber.”
“ I was very much interested the other day
in reading a statement made by a high gov-
ernment official on synthetic rubber. In it he
said’ It is fair to regard the rubber manufac-
tured to date as being almost solely the prod-
uct of the beverage distilling industry.’”
“He also said that, in his estimation, the
tremendous contribution of distillers’ indus-
trial alcohol to the synthetic Rubber program
had not received the recognition which it
deserves.”
“ We certainly learned something today,
didn't we Mary?” ,

REMEMBER EYESTRAIN?
The war has changed our lives. We all have new duties—extra responsi-
bilities. And too often we forget some of the important rules of everyday
living. Eyestrain, for example. Children whose precious eyes are endan-
gered by improper habits of reading or studying. We forget that one school
child of every five has defective eyesight.
Until the war is over—let’s at least remember these four rules for conserv-
ing eyesight.
J Do all reading, study-
/ mg, sewing or game-
playing close to a
good light source,
preferably a modern
reading lamp.
Avoid glare from bare
bulbs. Don’t sit facing
the light. Glare strains
eyes.
o Avoid shadows. Make
J sure you have good
light directly on your
work or book. Shad-
ows strain eyes.
Have eyes examined
regularly. If eyes are
defective, vision can
be greatly helped with
proper glasses.

When the war Is over we are all going to have Better
Light for Better Sight, In the meantime, take care of your
eyes but don’t waste light.
