To be a success, Democracy must have two forces: An unefraid people and an un- afraid official personnel, Playing po!itics for personal selfishness will prevent the development of either. “The best preparation for journalism,” _says President Hutchins: of the University | of Chicago, “is a good edueation.

A Junior Chamber of Commerce: is a civie organization that lends strength and helpfulness to the senior body, and The Citizen weleomes this new asset to this community, and bespeaks fer it deserving suceess, The writer has three time-pieces—a mantel clock, a wrist watch and a pecket watch.

Just se are eur opinicns, whieh the Poet Pope expressed ia this manner: “Our judgments are like our watches, none goes just alike, ye: each be- lieves its own.” | MARTHA WASHINGTON The annual recurrence of Washing- ton’s Birthday on February 22 is always the inspiration of many editorials and arti- cles on the “father of his country.” O«ca- sionally some mention is made of Martha Washington, his devoted wife, but her per- sonality is not as well known az it deserves to be. Mrs. Washington was the daughter of Col. Dandridge, a planter of New Kent county, Virginia, and was the widow of Daniel Parke Custis at the time of her mar- riage to Washington on January 6, 1759, being the mother of four children by her first husband. Two of her children died in infancy, the others being Martha Parke Custis and Col. John Parke Custis, whose granddaugh- ter became the wife of General Rober‘ E. Lee, famed Confederate leader. Mrs. Washington was short and plump, | with hazel eyes and dark hair, her stature being in marked contrast with that of Gen- eral Washington, who was six feet two inches in height. She inherited considerable wealth from her first husband and this added to Gereral Washington’s fortune made them } one of the wealthiest couples in America at the time, their estate being valued at | more than $5,000,000. George and Martha Washington had no children. Their married life extenied | over a period of more than 40 years, during which in peace and war, as well as in the | exacting duties of a President’s wife, she was his faithful companion and helpmate. As such she is held in affectionate re- membrance by the nation. FILM IMPOSITIONS In a recent radio broadcast a_ well- known motion picture commentator again voices justified criticism of the silly prac- tice of taking up sc much of the time of | feature film presentation with lists of | names of people employed in its produc- tion. Dozens of names of authors, scenario writers, directors, costumers, and on down | to the most unimportant individuals who had any part in making the picture are unreeled to delay the performance and bore those. who have paid for entertain- ment. The average movie-goer neither knows nor cares anything about these peo- ple. The average feature film is too long anyway, and could be drastically cut with | a saving of expense in production, and | with relief to the nerves of the customers. There would be just as much sense, as | Jimmy Fidler suggests, in having a dinner | menu include the names of the people whe raised the livestock and vegetables served, | and everybody who assisted in preparing the food for the table. In such a case, however, the hungry might read the use- less information while killing time waiting | to be served, and could lay it aside at will. Motion pictures play an important part in our national life, and have been a | most wonderful addition to its pleasures. But patrons should not be foreed to sit through a lot of exasperating interpola- | tions, imposed on them by producers. THE LIFE-GIVING SUN Of all ancient religious rites in which visible objects were venerated the worship of the sun was the most logical, as has been demonstrated by modern science. All life | on earth depends upon the beneficent rays | of the sun, without which both animals and plants would sicken and die. In recent years the particular light waves which have a reviving and healing effect upon living organisms have been | identified and means have been employed for their practical use. These are cailed ultra-violet rays, and are invisible. An important discovery was made a few years ago when it was found that or- dinary window glass stops the health-giv- ing rays. Then science developed a giass made of fused quartz, through which these light waves pass freely. Now a type of artificial light which produces the rays has been perfected, whereby the same effects may be obtained whether the sun shines or not. Ultra-violet rays, either natural or ; artificial, are used for the prevention and eure of rickets in children and also serve te make adults to a great extent immune from colds and pneumonia, as well as to correct weaknesses which make them sus- ceptible to other diseases. Thus the life-giving properties of the sun have been made to serve mankind in \.-s3 undreamed of by the early sun-wor- shippers. t | Morgan's daughter, Doody, was portunity to express yours.
