Are Unaccounted For Mine Victim’s Toes and irreverent, after the time-honor- ed manner of soldiers, and who sur- vived to become old men who lived in Memorial Day is a good occasion for remembering our debt to them. (An Editorial by Bruce Catton) We Acknowledge Our Debt to Those Heroes Who Freely Gave Their Lives to Save the Nation It is a wholesome thing for us to be reminded that our country was not bought and paid for in a 5-and- 10-cent store. It is what it is today —a great and rich homeland for free men and women—because, in past generations, it managed to produce the courage and the devotion which could send men out to lay down their lives for it. They bought it for us, with blood and pain and hardship. They paid, indeed, a staggering price for it. They paid it without undue fuss about it, and we owe them a debt that no money could ever pay. ‘We set aside one day in each year —Memorial Day—to make a formal acknowledgement of that debt. And in making that acknowledgment, we remind ourselves that the debt we owe to these men is simply the other side of the debt which we owe to our country. =e The battlefield is not the only place where that debt can be paid, Some men are called on to die for their country; all of us are called on to live for it—to live in good citizen- ship, in remembrance of the great ideals of liberty and freedom, in a steadfast determination that this land of ours will always be the abiding Place of the bright dreams and high hopes of the human heart. We can rededicate ourselves to that task today, as we pay homage to the battle flags and the men who march behind them. These Memorial Day ceremonies are @ challenge to the best that is in us. The names on the flags—Manassas and St. Mihiel, Vicksburg and Mont- faucon, Chickamauga and the Ar- gonne—are quiet, blood-bought re- minders that America was built by nen who could put duty above seh. May we, in time of peace, follow that principle as nobly as the heroes of Memorial Day followed it in time of war! Seized With Cramps, Mayville Boy Drowns Mayville, N.

BLOOD TIES NOT ENOUGH TO PREVENT WAR London, May 30.—(4)—Blood ties canot be depended upon to prevent war between Great Britain and the United States, Bernard Iddings Bell, Providence, R. I., preacher, warned a British church congrega- tion Saturday. “Let us not be too sure of our Anglo-American friendship,” he declared from the pulpit of the the future unless we take pains now to understand a common destiny.” America is not English, the Rev. Mr, Bell told his audience, Two baseball games Saturday and two more Sunday are scheduled to provide entertainment over the holi- day pgtod. At 2:30 and 6:30 p. m, Saturday, Bismarck’s national semi- pro champions were to line up against the All-Nations team in the city’s ball park while Sunday at 2:30 p. m., the American Legion Juniors will make their 1936 debut against the Capitol club at the Twenty-first St, diamond and at 3 p. m. the major city team will take the field again in the final game of the All-Nations series. Many Take Trips Hundreds of Capital City residents took advantage of the Saturday holi- day to take week-end trips to lakes and resorts in North Dakota and Minnesota, where the lure of the fish- ing season lured many anglers. Editor Simons in his address on “The American Miracle” called Me- morial day one of the greatest and fi- nest of our national holidays “because on this day we pay tribute to the mental and moral courage and the physical valor which have enabled this nation to survive a century and a half of turbulent existence. Americans of th> past and from them we draw new inspiration, new cour- age to keep going forward in the paths of liberty, freedom and democ- racy which they marked out for us,
