life. (The dog walking column, inspired by H. M. Pulham Esq. last Wednesday brought a great deal of mail and comment.

Several volunteered columns. The board of judges informally selected this one from "Queen Mab." Whooshe?) Sec: D' Such a splendid column on the tenth. It sets one to thinking and inspires one, somehow to write something, too. We cannot help but feel, of course, that somehow or other you have likened yourself to Pulham. But you forgot one point about Pulham he had memories! Imagine a me without memories and do you know there are in the world many people who cannot recall memories of adven ture of derring do of uncon ventionalities? Of love, even? Life, inevitably, puts one into some kind of a "groove this, in deed, is sheer necessity.

But even crack trains go off the track once in a while sometimes they smash themselves and sometimes they do not but, there must be some kind of routine in daily life, so that it can be fit into the background and put out of mind, leaving the mind free for the larger things of Of course, the larger things are all the little things. When we have lost our capacity to enjoy the small things which life has to offer then we are in a hopeless groove. Somehow, we (may I use the editorial we?) think of our days as pearls each one given to us, sometimes with rain, sometimes with sunshine but given to us 24 hours of precious time. Some must be spent in sleep some must be spent in work but out of each day there are a few minutes which can be devoted to "adventure" adventure in living, if you will. The Scouts do it this way "Do a good deed every day." Try doing a good deed every day a little kindness as writing a note of sympathy to someone who has just lost a beloved friend or relative? You'd be surprised how much solace to the soul that is and how much closer you feel to God.

Write a letter to the editor. We go to the Gap sometimes and listen to the boys who have many things to say. We discuss all kinds of problems from sex to literature, and it is a variation, because one can speak to strangers, honestly, frankly, with an open heart. Speaking of literature yon should read some of the old French masterpieces. How those Frenchmen loved life.

Balzac's "Droll Stories," de Maupassant, Anatole France, and many others. More recently, a book came out of France before it was Vichyfrance, "the Scandals of Clochemerle." It is delightful it is gay it is risque it is a real adventure. And then another experiment. Never read just one book at a time. Who ever beard of that? Books are friends, you know you don't read them just to be "in the swim." You should have at your bedside for instance, a copy of your favorite poet or an anthology we think Walt Whitman is good bedside stuff; then a copy of a whodunit; may be Freud; and the Decameron and a brand new novel.

You read a portion of one book awhile and then a portion of another. It's swell. Try it sometime. You pick your book, either to suit your mood, or lift you ont of one. This is adventure.

(Sec. note: My favorite reading habit) Did you ever go walking in the rain are you an umbrella peerer? Have you ever seen an umorena walk toward you to think "Maybe here is a part of nv destiny." Now we have a war. Now it is more important than ever that we learn to enjoy the little things in li fe that we learn tr another. Each new person we meet as a new "land" to be ex There is a human chem istry which is made up of many we must lane a few minutes each day first, to think of the other fellow; second, to stick to the same old friends, but eon ngni on looKing lor new ones; third, ready to follow through wun a new pattern created within the old. Life may tie us down but in our minds we can be Princess Pat or Ghengis Khan and believe it or not, the very mood you wear sometimes brings out weird and beautiful thoughts in others.

Try it! This is independence of the soul. This is adventure for all the little people in the World. All this is for freedom. And if to morrow prove to be dull what oi the memories of yesteryear? Open your arms. Sec.

Embrace me. Dont let it embrace vou. It will make you feel like a king it will give you youth the light in your eyes the spring in your wane. And forever SDrine. in your neart.

This is what our forefathers gave us the right to life, libertv and THE PURSUIT OF HAPPI NESS. "QUEEN MAB" rpHANK you.

Christmas to End Reap portionment Deadlock Pennsylvania's capital, already deep in war work, got set today for a special session of the Legislature shortly after the Christmas holidays to gear "the arsenal of America" to maximum output and to end the year long dead' lock over Congressional reappor tionment. A demand for national unity after Japan's sneak attack in the Pacific brought a quick bi parti' san agreement on re districting the State for representation in Congress, which will be submit ted to the General Assembly.

Governor James, who put into effect a long drawn plan to mobr lize the State's resources immedi' ately after theJapanese declara tion of war, at the same time be gan a survey to determine what other subjects should be submitted to the Legislature to place Pennsylvania's vast industrial empire solidly behind the war against the Axis powers. State Senator John G. Snow den, Lycoming county Republi can member of the reapportionment committee, said Republi cans have agreed upon the district they would eliminate and Rep. Leo A. Achterman, of Monroe, said he did not anticipate any difficulty in a similar agreement by the Democrats.

Achterman is Democratic floor leader of the House. Senator Snowden said that sub ject to slight amendments, the Republican plan would eliminate the 16th District as now const! tuted by shifting Lycoming, Clin ton and Tioga counties to the 15th District counties of Bradford. Sullivan, Susquehanna, and Wyoming, and possibly Wayne, Columbia and Montour. Potter, Cameron and McKean, other counties of the present 16th would go to the 20th and Pike to the 21st.

Much depends, of course, on our air strength in the Philippines in these early days. It really is surprising that the Japs haven t' been able to capitalize the great advantage they gained by back alley tactics at Hawaii. iney started out as though they were going places an it is a reproach to their el ficiency that they haven't been able to do so thus far. It's per haps their bad luck that while the Germans could block out the strategy for the opening blitz kneg, they couldn't execute the plans for Tokio. On at least one point the United States and Japan appear to be in accord.

That this new conflict is likely to be a long one. President Roosevelt has said that "it will not only be a long war, it will be a hard war." A Japanese spokesman has warned his people that they must be prepared to carry on the conflict for ten years. Japanese Premier Tojo has capped that with a further warning of a long war. And the Russians, who know their Japs, think it will be Drotracted. Whatever may be the length of time required to reach a decision of the world conflict, of which the battle of the Pacific is only a phase, all previous calculations have to be reviewed in the light of Japan's entrance.

Still, the na ture of the general upheaval hasn't been altered by Japanese participation it remains a war of supplies and production. Japan, like her chief colleagues of the Axis Germanv and Italv i Deiongs to the have not nations. mere lies the answer to the ultimate outcome of the war. The Axis powers have onlv a fraction of the resources possessed by the Allies. The lensth of the struggle must depend on whether the Allies can keep the enemy from breaking through to fresh resources and on how fast we can develop military Droduction The way things stand, the main ouraen of production must fall on the United States.

Ipso facto, ine raster our lactones work, the shorter the war. Developments in the European theatre generally have been fa vorable to the Allies. The Rus sians have continued to pour disaster into the Nazis in one of the most amazing operations of this mad hatter war. If the Hitlerites can't check, the avalanche which is sweeping over them, the Bolshe vists may succeed in their avowed determination to exterminate every German soldier on Red soil. T1 ii.

Connell, R. chairman of the council and president of the Pennsylvania State Nurses' Association.

January has been designated by the National Committee on re cruitment oi student nurses as National Nursing month. Three Pennsylvania Nurses, Mrs. Ruth P. Kuehn, Miss Mary Tobin and Sister Mary Laurentine, are members of this committee and will attend the meeting of the Pennsylvania Nursing Council for Defense. At least 50,000 student nurses are needed to enter schools of nursing throughout the United States in each school year in the immediate future.

A study made by the National League of Nursing Education shows that about 34,000 nursing students entered the September, 1941. class, and about 11,000 are anticipated in reDruary, iz. xnis leaves a "deficit" of about 5000 for this year. A decided increase in the num ber of students applying for en rollment in schools of nursing is vitally necessary to provide adequate nursing protection for military and civilianpopulation.

Judge Maxey Seen Possible GOP Candidate Name of Gubernatorial Prospect Mentioned at New York Dinner New York, Dec. 15.

(JP). For the second time in four years the name of Supreme Court Judge George W. Maxey was advanced in Penn sylvania Republican circles yester day as a possible "compromise" candidate for Governor to avoid a primary fight next spring. The discussions among party! i II. i I the Pennsylvania York, scene of many slate making parleys in the past, Maxey rejected similar advances in 1937, paving the way for the nomination and election of Ar thur H.

James. Both men hail om the hard" coal belt, Maxey from Scranton and James from Plymouth. Until this time, outstanding po tential candidates for the nomma tion have been U. S. Senator James J.

Davis and Major General Ed ward Martin, commander of the 28th Division, Pennsylvania Na tional Guard. Some of the politicians noted, however, that the war emergency may keep Martin in Army harness even though he has reached the retirement age of 62 and at the same time it may have the effect of requiring Davis' presence Washington. Martin attended the society din ner but kept his own counsel on his plans. He has not yet been ad vised of the Army's decision in his case. The organization the State Committee has in mind in the choice of a candidate the attitude of a group of insurgents led by Richard P.

Brown, Philadelphia manufacturer. Brown's bloc an nounced it would demand a voice in the selection or have its own candidate. Some of the organization lead ers pondered whether Judge Maxey would be the answer to the situation and if so whether he would consent to campaign. ihe situation may be clarified after the Christmas and New Year holidays when slate making conferences in Harrisburg are con templated, it was said, Anniversary Observed by Wenrich's Church More than 200 members of Wenrich's Reformed Church con gregation attended yesterday's an niversary services in the historic Linglestown church where ob servance was made of the 200th anniversary of services, the 150th anniversary of Lutheran and Re formed organizations and the centennial of Sunday School services At the Sunday School services John Mcl.

"Many have volunteered hours of service to development and training for defense activities, There is much to be done. "Those giving toys to the Mis sion could help us immensely by one further thoughtfulness. If any oi you could brmg the toys to mission headquarters it would re lieve the pressure on our corps of drivers.

Miss Miller indicated the motor corps would complete its activity at noon Wednesday because Toy Mission will be converted into a store Friday noon and it will not be possible to repair and paint after Saturday. "There is enough work in our repair department alone to keep everyone busy until after Christ mas," Mrs. David P.

"I expect we probably will be In full time production' before long and we're ready for it." This prediction is based on the expectation that oil will go to keep the war machine moving, coke for industrial establishments with nat ural gas playing its part in power.

Hostilities so far are credited with boosting hard coal output 4,000, 000 tons over last year. "We won't be able to reach the production peak of more than 90, 000,000 tons set in the last war but it could be put up to 70,000,000, an increase of 20,000,000 over this year," he said. "It's just a question of getting the orders now. There is no question about production problems as the men are only working two or three days a week." Anthracite output in recent years has bordered around 50,000,000 tons with this year's production the peak for some time. J.L If ft Accurate predictions for Harrisbnrf Only.
