Several years ago we had a guard on our
Varsity Football Team by the name of A. A.
(Bus) Moore. “Bus”, who was about in
practice as in an actual contest. One after
noon “Bus” was hurrying down to the field
and as he passed me I asked, “What’s the
hurry, Bus?”, to-which he replied. “Coach
is having the first scrimmage this after
noon—he is going to separate the men from
the boys.” It occurs to me that our speed
up program is going to do just that thing—
separate the men from the boys.
It is generally conceded that .the age of
twenty-one is where a male starts being a
man and stops being a boy, but it has been
my observation that age doesn’t have much
to dp with whether or not one i* a man, but
more on what his attitude towfcrd life and
his fellow man happens to be and how he
can take reverses. I have seen youngsters
in their pre-adolescent years who had many
more manly qualities than others many
years their senior.
I am sure that a great many of us are
•not satisfied with opr contribution to the
war effort, but in my opinion, we can all
make our greatest contribution by living
every day the best we know how and by do
ing the best possible job with the task at
hand.
Conditions are not going to be ideal, but
they never are. We are going to be wishing
for some of the days we had last January'
and next January wc are going to be wish
ing for some of the nice warm days we are
now having. We are going to have good days
and bad days, pleasant surprises and dis-
appointments. but that is life.
It has been my experience that the best
cure for most ailments of this nature is to
stay busy. I don’t mean that we should
work all the time, but we should work hard
while we are working, but arange our sched
ule so as to have time for a little vacation
each and every day in some form of whole
sale recreation. I am confident that this
schedule wil prove very desirable and liene-
ficial to all of us.
We have an opportunity to do a fine
piece of work for our country, our college,
and ourselves if we adopt the proper atti
tude, which I am sure we will, and we can
have a whale of a time doing it.

There is now much speculation as to the pos
sibility of the opening of a second front by
America and Britian. Both countries are
growing rapidly in military might, and it is
believed in both countries that it is bad for
large armies to remain idle. These facts plus
the necessity of relieving Russia and win
ning the war as quickly as possible argue for
a second front. There are. of course, certain
difficulties. This time there must be no fail-

Frequent consultations between Ameri
can and British leaders indicate that plans
are being made. Meanwhile the British art*
doing what they can to establish a second
front by means of devastating air attacks.
The British have made two raids recently
in which German cities w’ere visited by more
than 1,000 bombing planes. They insist that
they are making plans to send more than
30,000 bombers per month over Germany.
The American air force is planning to coop
erate, and it may be possible for the two
forces combined to send as many as 50.000
planes per month on raids into Germany.
Wew observers believe that such raids
will be enough to win the war. but all are
convinced that they will greatly weaken
German morale and greatly reduce the ma
terials to be used by the German a^ny. , Cer
tainly they will do much to pave the way
for the force that is being made ready for
invasion.
The Japanese are thrusting at various
points in the Pacific. They are concentrat
ing, however, in their attack on China. One
of (he problems faced by America and Brit
ain now is that of finding a way to keep
China supplied with the materials she needs
in order to carry' on the fight against the
Japanese.
