SPIRIT OF UNITY IN EVIDENCE NOW
Bv
A fact that has been commented on in the past three weeks
is th«' spirit of unity existing in the nation. Il oftentimes takes
danger to bring out the cooperative spirit of the public and the
recent Pacific conflict is no exception. We wish that the same
spirit might be in evidence during peace times. Perhaps if it
were many of the national emergencies might be avoided and
the community life would certainly be more pleasant.
As bad as wars can be and arc. as well as other sectional
and national calamities, there are times when all the people are
thrown on the same level as they faee a common danger. Times
as these not only bring out the cooperative spirit, but they
often indicate the stuff people are made of.

INCREASING POPULATION
<1
Of interest in times of national emergencies such as this is
the recent announcement that there were 20,000 more babies
born in the United States during the first third of 1941 than
during the corresponding period of 1940. The one encouraging
feature, if we view the situation in tin same light of some other
nations, is the fact that we may not lack for manpower to de
fend our nation and our institutions, all of which has been ac
complished without coercion or the offer of bribes.
Thus we have done w hat Italy and Germany has tried to do
for several years and the accomplishment has been on a volun
tary basis.
The Hull program of American solidarity is bearing fine
fruit now. The white-haired gentleman from Tennessee fought
for it during years in which many were bored with, and unin
terested in our neighbors to the south. Today every American
Republic seems firmly attached to an anti-Axis front, and many
have declared war along with us.
The Latin-American nations have no strong military power.
Their navies and air forces arc small and generally obsolete.
But they have tremendous economic resources which the big
fighting powers can use. And, if necessary, they can supply vast
numbers of men for military service. Their support Is of great
importance to us and to Britain.
Something tells us that we are to have an election in 1942
despite the war. The Sentinel as well as probably every other
newspaper in the state, has received holiday greetings from
every potential candidate.
Two M illion Twins
In the V. S. there are at least
2.000.000 people who are twins,
triplets or quadruplets. The man
who gets asked most about them is
Geneticist Horatio Hackett Newman
of the University of Chicago. In the
past 25 years he has received hun
dreds of letters from twins, "super
twins." parents of twins, and wom
en who want them. They ask him
all sorts of questions, "some sen
sible, some rather silly."
Battle of Flowers
The battle of the flowers is a fea
ture of carnival celebrations which
originated at Nice. Vehicles are
adorned with flowers and as they
are driven through the streets the
occupants salute their friends by
throwing flowers at them. The greet
ing is returned in kind and the bat
tle continues for many hours.
P resid en t's l i r s t Auto Hide
President William McKinley was
the first President to ride in an
automobile. His first ride was in
1899.
Pearl of Rockies
Lake Louise is called the "Pearl
of the Canadian Rockies." I t Is
considered one of the most exquisite
sights in the world. It lies at an
altitude of 5.645 feet in the romantic
"Lakes in the Clouds" region off
Banff National park.
See Through Package
An X-ray machine can inspect
products such as cereils. goods,
dried fruits, meats, frozen fruits,
coffee and candies, that have been
packaged in cardboard, cellophane,
or thin wooden containers.
. Parsley as Funeral Decoration
The Greeks used parsley as a dec
oration at funerals ar.d the expres
sion, "To be in need of parsley,"
meant to be at death's door.
