Across the land, men, women and even small fry continued to experiment half-heartedly with pipes. In Chicago, a chain drug store picked up a couple of hundred cartons at a Post Office auction and hauled them away, like so many square-cut emeralds, under bristling armed guard.

By last week the Army had nearly filled its needs and turkeys may again be sold to civilians (see U.S. AT WAR). But there will not be enough birds for Thanksgiving and Christmas...

At the Sanctus and Benedictus ("Blessed is He that cometh in the Name of the Lord") are the melo dies of Goin' Home and Swing Low, Sweet Chariot, and at the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) the devout and placid music of Deep River...
