More Lights for Homes Let's make our windows grow up; flood our homes with stimulating, natural light, is the advice of health authorities. According to a recent bulletin by the United States Public Health service many homes are poorly lighted. They have too many dark corners and gloomy halls because their windows are too small and too infrequent. "One of the newest window materials is the hollow glass block," a construction report points out. "A number of these adaptable units can be built into a panel in an outside wall that will richly diffuse the natural light psrsir.g through them. If necessary, a whole wall at a room can be built of them without loss of privacy, for they are nontransparint."

Our Washington Letter --Br-- National Editorial Aseodatfee With writing-on-the-wall indicating active participation of Americaa troops on European battlefronts at an early date, the feuding between bureaucrats and lawmakers now raging appears a little less important to the people. However, the dissension in government circles is provoking tense situations which definitely do not make for the necessary wartime unity. The fact th&t the War Manpower Commission is taking- a tough attitude in shifting men and women from none-essential jobs to war production work is taken as a grim reminder that the "muddling along" policy has been abandoned in favor of direct actioi). J Rationing, wrhich is essentially designed to distribute the burden of civilian sacrifice more equitably, is rapidly becoming a political football. Contradictory statements . issued by government leaders have contused the public .mind. Legislators, realizing the intense public interest in what is primarily an administrative wartime function, are intrevening in Mrs. Ella Parks and son, Hugh, of seeking preferential treatment fot Park Ridge, w.. s»t...-,!•», I thel»' localities.

P. A-'s chief coilnsel, that "never has any important government control been so completely1 dependent on the good will and the confidence of the people themselves." For instance, the average citizen wanting to co-operate finds it difficult to give credence to official statements when there are distinct differences of opinion among the nation's policy-makers. The president's optimistic comment that inventive genius would provide a synthetic tire, knocked the wind out of Donald Nelson, Leon Henedrson and Joseph East- Not Elm Trees Out in Columbus, Ohio, they lost 1,500 elms in two years from disease. Even the forest trees died of the same trouble. The dreaded Dutch elm disease came in for condemnation again and the government agencies got busy. Then a discovery was made! It was not the Dutch elm disease at all. It was reported that a viru» was the trouble and "phlom necrosis," is the new enemy. In fact it is said the Dutch elm disease is on the wane and this new threatening condition opens up another' battle front tor scientists. CHURCH SERVICES St. Mary's Catholic Church M&S86St .
