Dollars From Heaven
' If and when the next war of the air arrives it
is almost certain that American manufacturers
will have contributed their part to the slaughter
and destruction -
Near Baltimore Md is an airplane factory
occupying about 19 acres of floor space employ-
ing 2500 men and showing a profit of $340000 for
the last three months
This industrial enterprise manufactures bomb-
ing planes Each bombtr represents an invest-
ment of $125000 At the present time the com-
pany has on hand orders for $11000009 worth
of planes from foreign countries
The little country of Turkey has ordered 20
of these destroyers of life and property Argen-
tina wants 35 and as for China it's a secret
number
Armaments and airplanes are a necessary part
of war preparation America is in a position to
lead the world to a greater movement toward
world peace But as a nation are we seizing that
oppotunity to attempt to establish peace?
We could at least refuse to allow airplanes that
will be used for military purposes to be ex-
ported — Larry Robinson
Cupid’s Church
The latest wrinkle in religion seems to be to
turn the church into a dating bureau or romance
headquarters In fact an Oklahoma City minister
makes no bones about the purpose of his estab-
lishment brt iomes right out and names it a
“lovers’ church” At least his honesty is some-
thing to his credit
We suppose the church will be a great boon to
lonely ladies disappointed in love or lock of love
Dr W A McKeever a psychologist and re-
tired college professor who conducts the church
explained that the social feature will be preceded
by a brief religious service He said “The idea
of the lovers’ church is not necessarily for mar-
riages and match-making but to expand the lives
of its members If the results incidentally lead to
marriage that’s fine” Young women who have
no chance socially to meet young men will have
an opportunity here to be seen and studied and
being pursued instead of pursuing
The church being a man made institution is
far from perfect However it will not help it in
its purported mission of saving men's souls to
have it turned into a service for lonely hearts

It seems that some of the high
school buys started acting like the
big ieopk' anil printed a social
register and now the big people
are saving things about the youth-
ful 000 No ihnilit they should not
have printed that little book and
thrown a dubious aura of tea-cup
glory around their heads hut more
amusing than the mimicry of the
Classentics are the social capering
of those who are old enough io

Knrirty fanrlsim have hrra a
part of the fanfare of the human
race almost from it origin and In
most respect it has been a desir-
able source of relaxation and social
intercourse Once people lived in
log huts and probably stopped
their log-splitting long enough to
gossip over a jug of hard cider in
some nelgtilr's house Except fur
a little more veneer the gatherings
have not changed a lob We meet
In a tinted ballrom and use cock-
tall shakers Instead of jugs It Is
an inevitable counterpart of our
existence
But even in the perfumed ozone
of the social whirl there are a few
who don't quite know when to atop
Of all the amusing vanities that
the Muebloods have concocted the
social register takes precedence
Those who sponsor such a booklet
and permit their names to lie plas-
tered thru it are at the last out-
post of sensible democracy
And when the youngsters get
such a headstart on the big people
aa to begin It in high school it’s
time for some grayhead to yell "I
wonder whats going to become of
the younger generation?"
Almost every person If you will
believe himself holds a quite dif-
ferent theory of life from the one
on which he is patiently acting —

From the Daily Pniuryli nnhin
“College men ere good drivers — but ilwy terrify everyone
else on the road!"

"Their real objective of course is
not peace but rather to make the
nation helplessly disarmed for the
revolution"
Judge McDcvttt pointed out that
communism In the Vnlted Stales
is not Impossible in spite of the
scarcity of its adherents
"There were only 30004 rctlve
agents in Russia at the time ( J-'
revolution but they cast the mold
of 300000000 lives Even today
Russia is controlled by a couple
’ million mcn at the most"

lieves can “happen here” only on
two conditions: if the Federal Gov-
ernment takes over public Instruc-
tion and public political forces

much as ordinary folk may never
hope to own or handle them and

York ’World-Telegram
"The atudent driver usually has
perfect control of hie car" he as-
serted in an interview “but the
way he drives scares a lot of other
motorists into accidents
Judge McDcvitt’s regular Satur-
day lineup of traffic violators al-
ways Includes a few university
men
“I don't know what to do about
them" he sabl “Much as I hate to
be hard on the hoys they've got to
realise that driving at N is a men-
ace My usual penalty for second
offenders is the suspension of their
license for a week None of the
fellows thus punished has ever
been caught another time"
Altho the college man is fre-
quently represented as a drinker
Jud£e McDevitt testified that dur-
ing all his years on the bench he
has only come arross one univer-
sity student who was arrested for
driving under the influence of in-
toxicants “The finest drivers" he declared
"are truck driven their judgment
skill and coordination are perfect
And the wont drivers without a
doubt are women"

He that will dot command his

mand of his actions— -Bishop Wilson
An Associated Press dispatch reports "unpre-
1 cedented slaughter” among loyalists In their drive
against insurgent-held Toledo Government pris-
oners estimated ' their dead in the campaign at
more than 3000 insurgent reports said
Yet this is only one instance in the deadlocked
Spanish civil war The capture of Malaga caused
thousands of deaths hundreds of Basque citizens -and
others — together with large numbers of wom-
en and eh i Id ten — have been slain And to what
end?
If the Franco faction wins unrest will cause a
continuous shedding of blood by leftists and sym-
pathizers of the loyal government If the other
side is the victor rightists and others following
the Franco regime will continue espionage plots
and secret killings Regardless of the outcome
one neighbor will be fearful of the other
Maybe the high governmental officials of some
of the countries carrying ships on their shoulders
should study the conflagration and its effects and
results For never more clearly are the “spoils”
of war better illustrated whether it be civil or
worldwide— Charles Adams -
Housing Problem
Housing conditions ir the United States are
not all that they should be In spite of our pro-
gressive civilization many of our people are living
in city slums and tenement houses and many more
are living in overcrowded farm houses - -The
conditions under which these people live
are certainly not conducive to high physical or
moral standards People who spring from such
homes do not have a fair chance to become worth-
while citizens
Housing has always been in the hands of priv- -ate
individuals or eqrporations It Is obvious that
these house-owners have not fulfilled their ob-
ligations to society j 4-
Housing the people of America has grown to
be too large and difficult an enterprise for private
individuals to handle
The next step in progress is to have the federal
government take over the housing situation- Let
us hope that this step will he in the not too dis-
tant fuure — Jane Ellen Reeves
