The goal that has been establishec is a modest one—$4,200, and the people of this area its activities in can well afford to .contribute liberally for the services performed by this organization locally ar more than worth that figure. However, this service organization, as well as others now serves another purpo: nd one which is probably paramount at present as a reasan for con- tributing, that of service to the the war ronts. Services here include welfare work, emergency re- lief, meals and lodging for the needy transients (some of these men veterans of this war), employment aids, salvage collection and distribution the Christmas cheer, hospital visitation, prison work, lo- cating missing persons, women's group work, the Red Shield Reading Room, religious activities, youth program, character building activitie§, distribution of knitted goods to service men, and just about every- thing else called for at the time. It really adds up to quite a bit. Another good reason for contributing this year is that much more work of this type will be demanded from The Salvation Army during the transition from men at to needy. w h' I | cluttered up with all sorts of fight bill has put the Army and as! lnflfll | swivel-chair captains, commanders, the Navy definitely on the ‘spot. land other gold braid.

BOMBING JAPAN need and desire. At the least it could prolong the we and cost thousands of additional American lives. Yet in strict accordance with the requirements of the Smith-Connally Act. John L. Lewis, the head of the miners’ union, has filed with the Department of |Labor, the National War Labor; Board -and the Na- tional Labor Relations Board a formal notice of a possible strike. Under the law the Government itself must solemnly take a strike vote of the workers in- volved, The Government itself, in other words, thus sanctions such a strike vote, and is in effect made a party to a possible wartime strike that could have the most disastrous consequences | This is the result of one of the stupidest pieces of | legislation ever passed by Congress peen too stibborn, too concerned to save face, to attempt to amend it. Mr. Lewis, with characteristic political shrewdness, denounces the very law under which it is possible for him to force Government agencies to conspire with him and to give their sanc- tion to such a strike vote; and those responsible for the Smith-Connally Act will doubtless point to his denunciation as an excuse for preserving this absurd provision The Ecclesiastical Year (Cincinnati Enquirer) A good churchman will tell you we have two years that run side by side. One is our everyday calendar vear, familiar to us all; the other is, the ecclesiastical vear. That is marked by Saints’ days, by church festivals, and by thel great events in the lives of Christ and the prophets, priests and martyrs. Na- tionally we celebrate only three of them: Christmas, Good Friday, and Eastef. Naturally the churches celebrate many more. A large body of Christiandom ol es 40 days of penitential living which go under the name of Lent. As we write we have before us in four large volumés “The Lives of the Saints.” As far as we can make out there is no day in the year which is not some Saint’s day. The lives of the Saints is good reading. There is an imme 5t all kinds of men and women, some good and some Where they were bad, they turned from the evil ways of their youth and by repentence and Godly living atoned for past faults. St. Augustine was of that number. The Saints really were men and women like ourselves, yet they differed from most of us in their devotion to truth and in the single-heartedness with which they followed it often in the fierce fire persecution to their deaths. Even the agnostic cannot deny the greatness that belonged to so many of the Saints. Certainly they make a glorious company and the el astical year is mainly in their memor; bad. of deliberately War Manpower Commission. ge surplus prop- : For it was the rejection of the to smaller lots b less so as to WMC as administrative body to Juipment to the which the Senate most objected.

Apparently Secretary Forrestal wants to sell ! as much surplus property as pos- sible through his own Navy officials, rather than through regular Gov- ernment channels. The Army follows the opposite tactic. Undersecretary —Patte laid down a flat rule that the Army shall not dispo: of any surplus material costing more 1 $100. But turn it over instead to the Surplus roperty Board or the Treasury for disposal. This is to protect the Army from the surplus property scandals of the last war But the Navy doesn’'t see things the same way. It is setting up a gigantic sales organization of it own under Rear Admiral Walter A. Buck, and’is trying to get rid of surplus material direct Headquarters in New York is ased accordingly. with a constituent The businessman was talking about bomb load will the importance gf the Bretton IGHT BILL Woods agreement.

John Wheeler, Los Angeles lawyer and son of Senator Wheeler of Montana, has bought a big piece of Radio Station KFPY, in Spokane, Wash.
