Governor Here Monday
' Even though we have "norther" by that time.
Gov. Phillips is assured of a warm welcome when he
comes to Chickasha Monday to speak at the Pioneers'
annuel reunion. Our guess is that about 99.9 per
cent of the people of our county are in hearty accord
with the course he has followed as chief executive.
Hence he is assured of a cordial reception and a
sympathetic . audience. Judge Will Linn "high
mokus" of the Pioneer Club has promised him all
the time he needs. Hence we can expect an en-
lightening discussion of current issues.
Aside from the governors speech the reunion
will be featured by the mingling of friends and
neighbors the flow of fellowship a picnic dinner
and of course the spilling of tales about early -day
experiences. And doubtless as usual many Grady
Countiana who have strayed from the fold will come
back to join in the festivities. Heres hoping the
old-timers will have the time of their lives.

Rising stock and commodity markets. Easy to
get rich if you know exactly when to get on and off.
Very few guess right A million or two smart boys
took the count when the sudden collapse came in
1929.
Why The Distinction?
Wheat is just as necessary to a nation at war as
gunpowder. Oil is as vital for military purposes as
shells and airplanes. In selling to belligerents what
valid reason can be given for making a distinction
between munitions and other goods or commodities?
Anything that is sold aids the nation receiving
it in carrying on its war and maintaining its civilian
populaton. Since the latter supply the soldiers they
are as much a part of a nations military forces as
its armed men. Only by splitting hairs can a line
be drawn between "arms and munitions" the sale
of which to belligerents is banned by our neutrality
law and all the other goods and commodities the sale
and shipment of which is permissible. 1
The moral distinction between the two kinds of
trading is not discernible. If it is wrong for us to
sell arms to belligerents it is equally as wicked to
sen them oil or anything else because everything
they get from us aids in the prosecution of war.
Sales to all belligerents on the "cash and carry"
basis would be no more out of line with our policy
of peace with all than the existing law.
This country of ours is well on the way with a
great armament program. It is the only way to win
the respect of nations whose creed is that might
makes right.' Weak nations alone are . the victims
of aggression. '
Minstrel's Jubilee Edition
Hearty congratulations to Mr. G. C. Fisher pub- .
lisher and to the community which he serves so
well on this weeks edition of The Minco Minstrel.
Its 12 pages are devoted chiefly to matter pertinent
to the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the
founding of El Meta Bond College' the first school
established in the Indian Territory area that later
became Grady County. Most appropriately the front
page carries a fine picture of the old college and of
its honored founder Mrs. Meta Bond Chestnutt-
Ssger. Here too is the story of the school from
the beginning till its final closing in 1920.
This edition of The Minstrel is a highly valuable
contribution to the history of Grady County. It will
be read with interest by everybody; it should have
a permanent place in schools and public libraries.'
On page three we note "Selected from the Year
Book of 1904" and an article on Happy Hollow the
home of pioneers Mr. and Mrs. James H. Bond. The
next page tells the story of the Bock Island in Minco .
the Masonic Lodge American Legion and other
societies. Further on'we note fine tributes to Mrs.
Sager by Mrs. Zoma T. Peery Marvin Woodworth
and Alex Woodworth. The history of Mincos public
schools is also told. J. P. Pope a pioneer lawyer
turns the light on the Minco of early days in a well
written article of several columns. The names of
men who also figured in the early history of Chick-
asha appear in it
... This brief review will give a general idea as to
the contents of The Minstrels Golden Jubilee edition
but by no means does justice to it. Editorially and
typographically it measures up to the finest news-
paper standards. It reflects great credit upon Mr.
Fisher and the progressive community which co-
operated with him so generously in publishing it
The Minstrel founded in 181 is the oldest paper
- in Grady County.
' Whatever rights and wrongs are involved in
clash of European powers the pertinent point for
America simmers down to just this: keep out of it
; 15 . .
In s military way Uncle Sam is in a much
stronger position than he was when the war broke
out in Europe in 1914. And when he stepped into
the horrible mess in 1918 he gave the world a good
example of what he can do on short notice. Bad
boys on the other side will be very slow to provoke
his wrath.

recently in this country were pre-

Chicago 4 per cent of 97000 ba-
bies born alive in 1936 and 1937
were reported prematurely born.
This indicates about 85000 babies
are born every year in the Unit-

when they arrive. They are un-
derweight and undersized .and
demand special medical attention
if they are to survive. -
The first step in the survival
of such a baby is to regulate the
body heat Old fashioned incuba- .

which the temperature is regu-

incubators have been developed
so that the baby can be put al-

This country Britain and France
wiU presumably try to uphold the
traditional system of international
trade based on gold -and foreign
- exchange. Its foundation is .an .
economy which allows maximum
independence and initiative to la-
bor and to private capitalist en-
tennis
Germany and Italy have shown' -it
is possible to get along with
very little gold and exchange ter
development of the barter princi-
ple in foreign trade. Succemful
exploitation of this principle rests -in
turn on rigid governmental con-
trol at labor and industry. . Ger- .
many and Soviet Russia unless .
the former is completely crushed; .
are likely to develop mis total!-
tarian concept to a new pitch of
efficiency through their future

meet these changing condition

sentiment is overwhelm- ' .
ingly anti -Hitler finanical in-
siders figure that the determina-
tion of Congress and tiia people to

becomes obvious that England and

Completely lost among the sen-

Far Eastern news pointing to fur-
ther British embarrassment tb-re.
Bather quietly the Jaoaneu ex-
propriated certain coal mines in
the Chinese province of Honan.
The Japanese view Is that the
mines were owned by Chinese
who fled at the approach of To
kyos soldier Hence file military
administration took possession of
the premise The British say that
the ownership lies in British
hand nominally in the name of
the Pekin Syndicate of London
through its subsidiary tha Anglo-
Chinese Finance and Trade Cor-
poration. The inside story is that the
mince were actually Chinese-
owned originally. Later British
mining equipment was purchased.
Eventually the Chinese defaulted
and the British foreclosed shortly
before the -Japanese army got
there. Nippon - claims tills was
done. without duo legal steps;
therefore the English owners have
no rights whatever.
Englishmen fear that; ' if tills
challenge goes unanswered fur-
ther confiscation of British -owned .
property - in Shanghai and other
sections may fellow. The new Jap-
. anew government headed by Gen.
Abe has already made propitiatory
gestural to London in other diree-
' tton but is not likely to give
back properties already seised -or
to abstain from future seizures of
foreign - owned resources which
Japan needs urgently.
