From that time on, “Leath erneck” has been the word for a Marine. The word for his favorite cigarette is “Camel”—the favorite cigarette also of men in the Army, Navy, and Coast Guard.

Doans Pi lls A Little Sugar, but a Lot of Sweetness (See Recipes Below) Short on Sugar Requests continue to pour in for lugar-saving recipes. This leads me to believe that there are many who want home i baked goodies in ’ quantity greater ' than their sugar ■' supply will allow. That means they want recipes that are short on sugar but long on sweetness. Most baked goodies taste best when only part of the sugar is re placed by other sweetening agents. Only in plain muffins, bread and rolls is an exception made to this rule. Richer doughs have only one half to three-fourths of their sugar replaced by corn syrups or honey. It's best to use only tested recipes for your sugar-savers. You will find the proportion of liquid has been reduced—-and if you are trying to change over a recipe you might for get this very important step. Foundation Sweet Dough.

Lynn Says The Score Card: You can save pennies and points if you watch the markets closely and plan your menus accordingly. Right now you can use more eggs, pork cuts, citrus fruit, and winter vegetables such as turnips, broccoli, green beans and spinach to perk up your menus. Be sure to turn in those used fats. Your butcher will pay you for them in both points and pen nies. Use fresh vegetables and fruits whenever possible and save your canned foods for quick or emer i gency meals.

It was estimated that before the war the per capita consumption of the flour was 6Vs ounces daily, but it probably is more now be cause bread and flours are carry ing much of the load of other foods such as meat.

Christians and Jews Join Hands in Good Fellowship During 'Brotherhood Week' Observances, Feb. 20-26 Inter-Cult Meetings Being Organized in 3,000 Communities. > i u A LL possess alike liber ty of conscience and immunities of citizenship. It is now no more that toleration is spoken of, as if it was by the indul gence of one class of people, that an other enjoyed the exercise or their inherent natural rights. For happily the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens, in giving it on all occasions their effectual support." So wrote George Washington, as first President of our republic, whose first principle is “that all men are created equal.” The letter was ad dressed to the Hebrew Congregation of Newport, R. I. A phrase from this letter, "to bigotry no sanction,” has been seized upon as c fitting motto for the Na tional Conference of Christians and Jews, an organization dedicated to the destruction of religious intoler ance and racial prejudice. The con ference sponsors the annual "Broth erhood Week” activities, a program of events designed to promote good fellowship and understanding among people differing in cult or race. The last week of February, the 20th to the 27th, was chosen for Brotherhood week, because Washington’s birth day, the 22nd, is included in this period. Pageants and musical programs are being rehearsed and roundtables and forums arranged in some 3,000 American communities this year. Churches, synagogues, army camps, naval stations, schools, fraternal and trade organizations are all plan ning to observe this time of special friendliness. The Round Tables. Headquarters for Brotherhood week is the central office of the con ference in New York city. Dr. Rob ert Ashworth, director of the "Week,” operates through 15 region al offices, which are permanently organized units of the conference. Local groups, called Round Tables, work under the direction of the re gional leaders. * There are now 249 Round Tables, composed of influen tial citizens of several religions and races. Last year these men who believe that they are their “brother’s keep ers” were instrumental in having tolerance programs presented in 250 colleges, 2,800 parochial and public schools, 6,968 churches of all denom inations, 1,889 women’s groups and 1,333 professional and service clubs of one kind or another. The 60 overseas directors of the USO also are now busily engaged planning various events for Brother hood week for the armed forces abroad. Its chief of operations in the United States, Ray Johns, in his memo to the directors of the 2,300 USO units in this country, accom panying his program for Brother hood week, said: “No subject is closer to the heart of the world-wide crisis which now engulfs our civili zation.” ■World We Want to Live In.* During the last 12 months commit tees of priests, rabbis and ministers have brought their message of brotherhood to some 400 camp cen ters with an estimated attendance of over two million. “The World We Want to Live In," a film made for the conference, has been shown more than 3,000 times. A documen tary film detailing the various good will activities of this organization of Christians and Jews now is being made by “The March of Time.” The camp program is growing all the time; in the words of the president of the conference, Rev. Everett R. Clinchy, it is "the most important new contribution of the National Con ference.” Urging service men and women, and all others, to attend their churches or synagogues, the Nation al Conference believes that “while we fight for religious liberty, it is our duty to help our churches and synagogues by our attendance anji support. We must make religion in creasingly vital in our lives and in the nation." Many of the major de nomination religious authorities, and Protestant, Catholic and Jewish community leaders, use the material | prepared by the Conference on j Brotherhood week. Some 2,500,000 ! pieces of its literature have been giv en to chaplains for use and distri bution. Traveling Speakers The National Conference of Chris tians and Jews is carrying its mes sage into the military camps, ma rine and naval bases. The visit to the Seabee training center at Camp Peary, near Wil liamsburg, Va., is typical of the ex periences of the traveling speakers. More than 3,000 of the keen, hard, construction battalion men poured into the camp theater, reports the conference man who accompanied tbs three clergymen on their tours. President’s Proclamation On ’Brotherhood Week* 'President Roosevelt’i White House proclamation setting the week of Washington's birthday as Broth erhood week, will be beamed by short wave to the four corners of the globe by the office of uar informa tion. It reads in part:) “The annual observance of Brotherhood week is a time both of reminder and dedication. It reminds us of the basic religious faith from which democracy has grown—that all men are children of one Father and brothers in the human family. It dedicates us to the practice of understanding and justice through which free dom and equality flourish in hu man society. “While we are engaged In a mighty struggle to preserve our free institutions and to extend the boundaries of liberty in the earth, it is good for us to pledge renewed devotion to the fundamentals upon which this nation has been built. Brotherhood must prevail. Our inescapable choice is broth erhood or chaos. “On land and sea and in the air, the sons of the United States fight as one though they come from every racial and cultural strain and though they worship at different altars. They are brothers in arms now; soon, pray God, they shall be brothers In peace. We on the home front must see that history shall not re peat itself in postwar hatred and intolerance. It is for us to make the homeland more nearly a land of brotherhood, worthy of the vic tory our gallant sons and daugh ters shall surely win.” Educational plans for observing Brotherhood week in the public and high schools were prepared by the Duluth Intercultural committee of Duluth, Minn. These cover a vari ety of novel events all aiming at cultivating an appreciation of the importance of tolerance and under standing of the other fellow. Rob ert Ruhlman, who drew the prize winning poster for Brotherhood week soon to be displayed in schools, set tlement houses, USO centers and community groups is a high school student in Cleveland, Ohio. Education in Tolerance. Of course, getting along amicably with people who are slightly differ ent cannot be taught in a single week of the year. The conference real izes that their job must go on every week, every day. A spirit of tolera tion toward religious and cultural differences should be developed in childhood, the conference realizes. One of the most important commit tees of the conference is the Com mission on Educational Organiza tions, which is composed of 28 prom inent religious and public educators. The commission is concerned with (1) the elimination of biased mate rials from public and religious edu cation materials, (2) the production of positive materials to promote un derstanding and good will and (3) the training of writers, clergymen, educators and administrators to make effective the materials and programs completed. Much has been accomplished in a concrete way. For instance. 40 ma jor Protestant educational and mis sionary boards have adopted for use at all age levels during the coming year a series of books and study manuals entitled, “The Church and America’s Peoples.” They treat realistically the problems of group relations in the nation and the world. Three thousand five hundred Cath olic parochial schools are using the new “Faith and Freedom” Readers of the Commission on American Citizenship established by the Cath olic hierarchy. The commissicn in cludes Protestants and Jews as well as Catholics on its boards. The Readers include many sections de voted to understanding and respect among religious and racial groups. During Brotherhood week last year, a number of Catholic bishops Clergymen of three faiths. Rev. William Ryan, Rabbi Samuel Thur man, and Rev. Sidney Sweet, (front to rear) get acquainted with soldiers at Jefferson Barracks, Mo. Carry Message of Brc “What kind of men?” he goes on. "Obviously, not the kind of men to whom one hands platitudes. “They do listen with mild interest to the introductory statements. At least this show with a priest, rabbi and Protestant clergyman is a little different. And then Father Cardinal begins. He knows what to say, and says it; says it in a language they can understand. Dr. Speers follows. “When Rabbi Rosenblum closes there has been no lagging of inter asked all their priests to cooperate with the conference program. Many of the major Protestant denomi national leaders took a similar posi tion with their clergy and educa tors. Cooperation by Jewish leaders was most generous. The Methodist Conference on • Just and Durable Peace at Dela ware, Ohio, called on all church lead ers to work with the conference in its program. The major denominational reli gious education authorities are con stantly using materials furnished by the conference. These materials in clude study units for young people and adults covering periods of sev eral weeks discussion as well as single articles. The conference has aided and extended the services of the Bureau for Intercultural Education to public Back home in Brooklyn, N. ¥., on furlough, Sergt. Howard Cantor re laxes with a big cigar.

This bureau devel ops and distributes educational ma terials on intergroup relations and works with educational bodies and regional and local school adminis trators in teaching human relations as an integral part of the curricula in American education. After noting that the National Con ference of Christians and Jews held its first meeting at Columbia uni versity in 1928, President Clinchy said: "The National conference was established in accord with a cardinal principle in American history: re spect for the dignities and rights of groups. The people of the confer ence believed that this country could not suffer hate breeders any more than they could afford to tolerate the carriers of contagious diseases. "Our organization was established on the conviction that irrational an tagonisms and hatreds are part of a vicious chain of which one link is tied to another. This nation, com posed of a plural number of reli gious, racial and nationality groups, must, for the security and well being of each group, learn to face differ ences realistically. The members of each group must so act that the members of every other group have parity or opportunity to enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happi ness." ‘Brotherhood or Chaos.’ Dr. Ashworth said emphasis now is being placed on the community cooperation of common citizens of our one land, the important thing to remember being the intrinsic worth of the individual, and, in President Roosevelt's words, after the peace it will be either “Brotherhood or Chaos.” According to Dr. Ashworth, it was a Catholic priest who originally sug gested the organization of Brother hood week, back in 1932. He wrote to the National Conference of Chris tians and Jews that brotherhood was something all faiths wanted, some thing of which there was too little j in the world, something of which there could never be too much. He suggested that a special period be designated each year by the Nation al conference, that Catholics, Prot estants and Jews be invited to con sider together practical ways toward attaining it. This idea took fire. The first na tional observance of Brotherhood week took place in April, 1934. Presi dent Roosevelt proclaimed the event publicly as he has done every year for the last 11 years. From the first the conference sought out the co operation of civic bodies, Parent Teachers’ associations, schools, col leges, churches and synagogues. Dr. Ashworth said: “This year, like pre ceding ones, a number of gover nors and mayors have issued formal proclamations endorsing its aims and purposes.” >therhood to Camps est.

In 1910 the great Idaho fire covered a strip of country 120 miles long by 35 miles wide within a period of 24 hours. Forest fires have been known to overtake running deer and even rr.en on horseback. The total forest fire bill ranges from 55 to 75 million dollars annu ally, plus a heavy toll of human lives, livestock, many wild birds and animals.
