Wellington, 1011 American Bank Bullding {DONED ABA Parents who need from the aut ities to induce them to take care of their own ck would dl prompting worth wasting seem to be way s on Warnings have been issued, however, by U Mar- shal William T. Mahoney, that such parents will be treated as criminals, which they are One ¢ in which a young father and mother have been arrested for, deserting their children is al- ready pending here and the Marshal says there are “three or four” other cases of neglect which will be treated in similar fashion if the children are not speedily given the atlention and care all children deserve. It is difficult to conceive of a couple leaving a daughter four years old, and one-year-old baby son to shift for themselve Every child has a right to a home, however humble the economic status of the parents may cause it to be. The crime of deserting children becomes all the more serious and inexcusable, #f such is possible, when the circumstances of the parents enable them to dress fashionably and to en- joy such luxuries as cigarettes and liquor s of children, of course, are living in homes pnuxf&- than homes should be. Millions are ra millions are hun But all of these have home: very best their parents can afford and enjoy the in- valuable advantage of parental love Ordinary parents will not be able to understand how it can be that some pa ts can entirely desert their offspring. The bond between father and child or mother and child is so imperishable in most of us that it is almost inconceivable it should be entirely lacking in a few. But these few, who have already de- prived their children of their birthright and hence can be of no further value to them, are of no value to society and should be treated as outlaws. D DIVORCE HARD TIMES A The economic stress of the 1930's has been a causative factor in a marked increase in divorce and family troubles among the unemployed and low income groups, it appears from a 35-city survey just conclud- ed by one of the life insurance companies. ‘The survey revealed that mestic relations” are now the largest class of cases handled by the free legal aid societies of the cities. In the larger cities, especially, there has been a steady increase in the number of such cases, while the only exceptions noted were in cities of moderate size. The prevailing view of legal aid officials and social workers who cooperated in the study was reported to be that marriage have definitely loosened in the past few years among the low income groups, with a demand for divorce which has kept apace with that ties | of the upper income classes. However, it may also be concluded from the survey that family relations have | not fundamentally changed so much for the worse as the uninterpreted reports indicate. For instance, in the cities surveyed, a changing ittitude toward divorce was noted among social work- ers. They reported that it was recommended more frequently “as the realistic way of clearing up bad ituations” in cases where previously it was regarded rictly as a last resort. Social workers cited instances, 1id to be increasing in number, where husband and wife have separated and are living with common-law riates. In sach cases, it was said, divorce was often r:commended to permit marriages legitimatizing the children of the new unions. Relief programs—which, of course, also stem from the cause of cconomic stress—also were noted as a fac tor in changing domestic relations. In some instanct the effect of relief was to hold families together. But in others, a degree of otherwise impossible economic | Independence was established which -permitted wives to leave husbands they otherwise might have contin- ued to live with by virtue of necessity. The survey makes clear the importance of study and activity to the end that the social pattern may be protected more so than heretofore against economic ravages. Pilots For War (Cincinnati Enquirer) Now that the United States has committed itself to a sizable air force expansion program, with pro- vision for a fleet of 7,500 new fighting planes within the next two years, arrangement for the training of a ufficient number of competent pilots follows as matter of course. For the purpose of preparedn should be berne in mind that the training of a pilot for modern air warfare requires quite as long as the construction of the craft Air forces have come a long way since the World War, and not alone from the standpoint of vastly im- proved equipment. A present day war would find. not raw recruits with only a few hours’ experience in the air, but highly skilled pilots at the controls of the ghting planes, At least three nations—Germany Russia and Ttaly—took advantage of the war in Spain to season a number of their pilots under actual war conditions Our expanded air fo to be of maximum val e therefore nieeds, in order from the standpoint of pre- paredness, to be backed up by a reservoir of trained pilots. The only question here 1§ how many. With the nucleus already in the Army Air Corps, civil avia- Lion could supply the pilots needed for the new fight- ng planes,but that would only thrust the problem of unpreparedness back into the civil structure of the nation Preferably, a sufficient number of trained civiliahs should be available to man the' nation’s air force. with- » out paralyzing civil aviation, which would assume in- creased importance in time of of too many But the training Is dangers quite as real as too soon, er the danger of unpreparedn: President Roosevelt recommended the training of 20,000 pilots a year—a figure which well overshot the apparent need. Con gress is appropriating for the training of 15,000 a year That is a little less of a strain upon the equipment and facilities for training purposes. In our anxiety over the foreign situation, we must remember that while itating our participation is only problem- are certain to kil a lot of young men and a lot of equipment ir destroy wy grandiose pry of mass production of pilots. That fact s slower, more careful approach (o this particular reparedness need Flight From “Liberation” (Cleveland Plain Dealer) Out of the clouds above a Polish airport roar three Slovakian bombing planes. Their crews land and give themselves up to Polish authorities. They are fleeing the “protection” of Adolf Hitler's Germany. Over the Polish border stream thousands of other Slovaks. They face the possibility of rough treatment s unwanted refugees. They prefer it to the “libera- tion” which became theirs when Der Fuehrer broke up old Czecho-Slovakia. Taken by themselves these flights from Slovakia are among the most dramatic incidents of Europe's recent troubled history. Their greater importance, however, may lie in the hint they give of future | German steps, and their commentary on the pleasures of life under Nazi “liberation.” Apparently a great many Slovaks believe that Germany is about to mop up their theoretically au- tonomous province, and subject them to the same re- pressions which are the unhappy lot of the Czechs. In view of what happened to the Austrians, as well as to the Czechs, the Slovaks' fears would seem well Jjustified.

The early morning is for- tunate for buying and selling. Merchants should profit today, even those with small capital may encounter first rate opportunities in the business world. Grocers and all purveyors of food should gain hrough unusual demands upon their “esources. Unrest and. discontent among workers may cause anxiety in cer- ‘ain industries, but the stars prom- se compromises and adjustments fortunate for labor. This is not a favorable sway for lovers, young or old. Under this ule suspicion may cause lack of harmony, espe- 'ially where widows are concerned. The Moon in her own sign of Can- er is believed to be fortunate for President Roosevelt who may be ed by occult forces that are helpful n guiding toward international ac- rord. Inventions that improve airplane ransportation are to be demon- trated next month. Speedy growth °f the United States air service is yrophesied. 3 Girls will benefit this summer hrough many lines of training.
