RECRUITING
.EDITORIAL.
' By Charles
DECENTLY we placed before News-Review readers the
'question of why recruiting in the women's auxiliaries to
the military services is lagging behind expectations. An
swers to the questions boil down to three principal factors.
First in importance is the eligibility age. If the age require
ment were dropped from 20 to 18 years, it is apparent there
,wpuld be a much greater response. Parental restraint is an
other) issue. An arrangement whereby women married. to
service men could secure furloughs simultaneously with their
husbands, or could be assured of discharges in time to be at
home when their men return would also increase the number
of volunteers.
We appreciate the letters written on this question, par
ticularly by girls of eligible age and those who are ineligible
because the age limit is too high. In nearly every case the
writers have agreed with the correspondent quoted pre
viously, who called attention to the women's earlier maturity
and the fact that to correspond on maturity basis with draft
age for men, women could be accepted at 16 years.
Some girls who would like to volunteer have been dis
couraged by parents. A good many boys in the 18-21 age
group would not be in military service today had it not
been for selective service, as consent of parents would not
have been available. Parental rstraint 'is more 'effective
with girls than with boys. ;
"Tho reasons of some mothers to doubt the ability of their
daughters is understandable,"
and Alice and Jane have been
they are almost helpless, " They have been handed so many
material things and luxuries that mothers fear their daugh-1
ters will bo miserably unhappy should they be called upon to i
sacrifice a luxury or two even though their service might
mean the saving of lives. . S...
"Had my mother once said
tiling to want to do but I'm afraid you can't, it's hard work
you know,' that challenge would be enough. I'd do it or die
in the attempt.
My sincere prayer is that
tho challenge leave the counters and offices to older wo
men and 4-Fers."
Another suggestion is that
speeded if the recruiting officers would only tell the gals
they can get rayon and nylon
We read where chemists have
sect repellant which is keeping our soldiers free from lice
and other insects. We know now why our present-day army
is so much mortJ el f icient than in the last war. The modern
Yank can expend all of his energy fighting the Germans and
the Japs instead of tiring himself out scratching cooties.

New members added to the
Oakland woodworking club dur-
us) they may get some of their
tall tales believed, thus WORRY
ING US especially wives and
mothers of men known to be In
the Pacific.
They are helped by the fact
that Americans have the strong
feeling thai they're being TOLD
LITTLE (the recent Patton Inci
dent confirming this Ideal. Put
ting It mildly, our people feel
that u much belter Job of Inform
ing them COULD be done with
out Riving the enemy anything
he doesn't know already.
Anyway, the Japs probably feel
they have everything to gain and
NOTHING to lose by all this lying.

DAILY DEVOTIONS
DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS
We often hear with splendid
spirit the crosses that are forc
ed upon us. But the real test
of Christian discipleship comes
when we face a cross that we
may or may not accept, as we
choose. We are accepting to
day's war rationing in good
spirit. But what will be our
attitude when we are allowed
to choose whether we will go
without many things long aft
er the war is over. So that we
may help iced and clothe the
needy of the world. From old
English literature come3 the
history of a monk named
Martyries, who, having been
sent on an errand by the ab
bot, came upon a leper by the
roadside, who begged the
monk to help him to his hut
near by. Forgetful of the ab
bot's orders and of his own
personal safety, Martyries took
the man on his shoulders and
started back to the monastery.
When he reached the monas
tery gates the leper alighted
and lo, the Christ stood there
and blessed the merciful monk.
It is when a man voluntarily
assumes another's burden not
counting the cost, that he finds
himself in the very presence
of God. The cross you accept
may be the one that points
your neighbor to God. Then
the cross becomes a crown.
Amen.

Ration Points Now!
Traded for Fats i;
Today, December. 13, for the
first time.-OPA is allowing extra
ration points for used household
futs turned In to meat dealers.
In deciding thrft two meat ra
tion points are to be paid in ad
dition to the standard four cents
a pound for salvaged fats, OPA
has given housewives added in
centive to participate in supply
ing raw materials necessary to
the war effort. .
The government has estimated
that Americans throw two billion
pounds of fat down, the drain and
into tho garbage every year.
Since on the average, each pound
ot fat yields one tenth of a pound
of glycerine, Americans have
been throwing away 200 million
pounds of potential glycerine.
Tho government does not ask
for these fats, even to make gun
powder, until all possible cook
ing good is gotten from them.
But when fats are too black or
highly flavored for further vse,
every spoonful, every single drop
is urgently needed.

We seem U have developed
those Blue Jmday blues since
f Inishln gUSaturday's column
about fifteen Jininutes ago. After
those nice, ci'ammed-full-of-good-shows,
weekend programs, we
can't seem to work up much en
thusiasm for the run-of-the-mill
weekday shows. Lack-a-day!
Let's see what gives for Monday
night and Tuesday. Well, after a
glance at Monday evening, we
feel better forgot this was the
night for thehcw 6:30 Winchell
and Mahoney show (it's good);
also the dean of detectives, Sher
lock Holmes, at 8. And (how
could we forget it?) Point Sub
lime at 8:30. Come to think of it,
this is one ot the best nights of
the week. Tuesday a. m. we like
very much too there's Top of
the Morning at 9:30, Cedric Fos
ter at 11, Yours for. a Song 11:30,
and Melody Rendezvous at 11:45.
Ever since they played Blng
Crosby's recording of "White
Christmas" on that spot the other
morning we hang around the
speaker hoping they'll do a re
peat, and we'd hate to miss It.
There's always our Welcome Inn
too; that gives us a lift for the
afternoon and though we may
do a little feudin' on the air, con
fidentially we think they're pret
ty cute. One special deal to call
to your attention in the afternoon
it's the '4:30 broadcast of the
conclusion of Bonneville dam and
should be very interesting. -.
P. S. Just readin' over Susie's
column before sending It on Its
way to the paper and noticed the
little blurb for Welcome Inn.
Well, speaking . for both of lis,
we're happy to know their senti
ments toward us are as above
stated 'cause we think they're
wonderful! SS-2. .
