MULTITUDINOUS ore the words of prayer which will reach heavenward this Easter. Each of us will say a prayer apart -- for the safety of a loved one in battle — for the return of a son, or brother, or husband now in an enemy's prison camp - for the healing of a wounded dear one. Yet together, we shall say one prayer for lasting peace following the United Nations' complete Victory. And we shall find our greatest faiths -- particularly those of us whom the war has already bereft -- in recalling His resurrection, for whom this day is reborn each year.

• DO YOU KNOW?” Science News Letter. March 4. 1944 The Skeltons of sharks are of cartilage instead of bone. Rayon is the second ranking fiber among textiles, cotton still leads; over 600 OoO.OOO pounds of rayon was consumed in 1943. Desert area on the coast of the Red sea south of the Suez canal is said to be rich in gold, emeralds, lead, manganese, copper, iron phos phates, and petroleum; Egypt is nov, planning post-war developments. Enrollment in public high schools of the United States is approxiniat ly 5,761 000 at the present time, 6.2 per cent less than last year and nearly a million less than in 1940-41; tin male decrease is twice as great as the female. The principal causes of major fires are, in the order named: smoking and matches, electrical defects, sparks on loofs, defective chimneys, rubbish and spontaneous ignition, defective heating equipment, lightning, and flammable liquids. Science News Letter. March 11, 1944 Alaska lies in the same latitude as Sweden, Norway, and Finland; it exceeds in size the combined areas of these three countries which have a combined population of more than 12.000.000 people. Ground pork or beef which is to be frozen for preservation should noi be salted, as salt stimulates oxidation resulting in rancidity; sage, pepper, mace, and ginger seem to have an opposite effect. Vicuna wool is from a hardy gaz-elle-like little animal, two feet high, which lives in the high Andes in Bolivia and Peru; the vicuna is related to the camel, and its wool is probably the softest of all animal fibers.

(('(•»!Jnmurf from I'liiTf* fine) )ii a land mine and we have a feast Even at their toughest, a battlefielr teak makes the mouth water. Then here’s the s®ry about the herd of „heep glazing"peacefully in no man’s aid. The shepherd has taken off m some safer spot, but the 100 old sheep continue to grow fat and wooly under the watchful eyes of his sheep dog who faithfully tends the flock with scorn for both Americans and Germans. A new name for the Germans is coming more and more into use hereibouts. The name Jerry a lot of ; uys feel is too sentimental. Boche s dated. Enemy is too impersonal. .Ve’re starting to call them just plaii. iiaut. A fellow on an OP will phon. n "There’s a lot of kraut out here .ergeant.” That word seems to co,'. /ey just the right shade of distast for something which needs cleanin t up. It’s late in February and without mowing anything about the Italian icasons spring does seem awfully neat. True, we can see snow on the nountains and at night the cold does bite right through the blanket, but n the morning when the sun comes nit we are beginning to see birds singing away, just as if the world was still the same and this spring were going to be no different than the last one. It’s those silly little things like the birds singing, like the Italian woman nursing her baby 20C yards from a long tom, like that do-; herding his sheep in no man’s land; it’s those insignificant little things that remind me how unnatural this business of modern war really is and how desperately we’ve got to fight Co get the damned thing over.
