There are certain aspects of the world situation which bear importantly on this policy of aid to Britain. In this respect, Japan is far more a problem than Russia. The great majority of Americans has had no trouble in making up its mind about Russia. Americans know that, however much they detest Communism and Stalin, they have not had to go to conscription in peacetime to guard themselves against those menaces, nor to build a two-ocean navy. They know that they can handle Russia with a little finger, where both fists would be required to handle Naziism and Hitler.

They, therefore, favor aid to Russia because Russia is fighting Nazi Germany Above all. they favor concentrated aid to Britain in this hour when Germany's occupation with Russia gives the British air force its greatest opportunity. Japan is now no such simple problem. The people must rely upon the administration for guidance while Japan affrightedly seeks her course in the new situation. The people must depend upon the administration to relate the Japanese threat to the danger in the Atlantic (both affecting the us of the navy) and to seek an intelligent balance which will give us the maximum protection.

Clerk of the Hancock Circuit Court. Navy Knox Darold T. Fleming of The Hancock Democrat has been made Navy Editor, to help the Navy in giving ambitious local young men information about the opportunities the "Two-Ocean Navy" offers them for technical training and advancement as they serve their country in its emergency. According to an announcement made public in Washington, a limited number of additional men between the aces of 17 and 50 will be given a chance, by enlistment in the Navy, to pet to the top, with big pay, in johs which by their aptitude and as a result of examination they show themselves fitted, from among nearly 50 different trades and vocations. These include such callings as aviation machinist dental technician, photographer, diesel engineer, radio technician, electrician, welder, storekeeper, and baker.

Enlisted men may also qualify for commissions as officers. Beginning this week, the Navy-plans for a limited time to accept new qualified men for training. These men will be sent to one of four Naval Training Stations and may have a chance to go to a Navy Trade School even before assignment to the fleet. During this period they will be given regular Navy pay and the Navy's free schooling is valued up to $1,500. "Never in the history of the United States has there been greater opportunity for loyal young Americans to serve their country and build their futures than right now," said Secretary Knox.

In outlining the many advantages offered by Naval enlistment, Mr. Fleming, Navy Editor of the Hancock Democrat said, "It is possible for a bright young man to increase his pay seven times during his first enlistment and he can earn as much as $126 a month. This monthly figure is actually worth much more when it is remembered that the man has few living expenses and is provided with the finest of medical and dental care. "You have all your food and lodging, and also your original outfit of clothing provided by Uncle Sam free," Mr. Fleming continued.

"In addition there are free sports and entertainment even to the latest Hollywood pictures. On top of this you get free travel and adventure in colorful places a thing few civilians can afford. "When you consider the size of this country and the fact that the Navy will select only 15.000 applicants a month from many times that number throughout the United States, the quotation. 'Many are called but few are will apply to local young men interested. "Navy men are a 'hand-picked' lot.

Candidates must be men of more than average intelligence and ambition, of fine moral character and must have the written recommendation of at least two local townspeople." As Navy Editor, Mr. Fleming has just received from Washington a supply of free illustrated booklets for all men interested and. in addition, will welcome inquiries from young men whow ish to look into the new and greater opportunities the Navy now offers for training for future civilian careers as they serve their country now in its emergency. -in- NEW BOOKS AT THE PUBLIC LIBRARY "She Knew AH the Answers" A PIECE OF ALUMINUM WILL ADMIT A CHILD "ATHLETE'S FOOT GERM" MAKE THIS OVERNIGHT TEST Applv a quick drying fungicide, not greasy or oilv" It should penetrate to kill the germs it reaches.

More stringent regulations in the fluid milk market and stricter requirements of the dairy processors today compel improvements on the dairy farm. More and more the number of dollars on the milk check depends on the use of efficient modern equipment. Small sterilizers, to be demonstrated at the REA show, provide a quick, easy and economical means to proper sanitary measures. Hand-power and irregular speed on the cream separator have given way to constant speed electric motors that extract more cream of a higher test than could be taken from milk under old methods. A small one-can milk cooler, designed to meet specific farmer needs, will be a feature of th showing of coolers of all sizes, including walk-in boxes and quick-freezing storage.
