It is sound advice to prepare for the cracking of
the Hitler regime in the near future. Great changes
will take place almost suddenly in our domestic af
fairs. A large number of war workers will be
changed to peace reconstruction, and many of the
boys will be sent home. Unless preparations are
made for the turnover from war to peace, unemploy
ment will be a serious problem. Congress should be
in session now, and should stay in session to pass the
necessary legislation and get ready for the changes,
or there will be a great slackening in national em
ployment. In spite of big wages, thousands of peo
ple have saved little, and 30 to 60 days would find
them on relief. In large communities the distress
would be great. Every worker now should begin to
save all he can for the day of waiting while the na
tion changes from a war to a peace time basis.

When Mark Twain edited a newspaper in Missou
ri one of his subscribers wrote him that he had found
a spider in his paper and wanted to know if it meant
good luck or bad. To this Mark Twain replied :
“Old Subscriber: Finding a spider in your paper was
neither good luck or bad luck to you. The spider
was merely looking over our paper to see which mer
chant was not advertising, so that he can go to his
store, spin a web across the door, and lead a life of
undisturbed peace afterward”.
When the Grapes of Wrath was written most of us
could not believe the accounts related of the Okies
and the Arkies in California. Since then we have
learned that much of the descriptions were true, and
as time passes and notwithstanding that economic
conditions have greatly improved, we find many
types of the classes described in the book. They are
still with us, and what after the war?

Yet every soldier who’s worth his salt covets it.
This title is simply:
"Good Soldier.”
It isn’t just happenstance that so many women
in the WAC have earned this title—the proudest
in the Army.
For wherever Wacs are working, both here and
overseas, there you find a job well done. And done
with a spirit so gallant and fine that high Army
officers everywhere say of the WAC...
You never really know the value of adequate automobile
insurance until "after the accident".
If an accident strikes, your Fanners policy* goes swiftly and
surely to work—assumes your financial loss—protects your
interests.
