Bands played, flags waved, battalions goose- stepped in honor of the event. To the bulk of the 130,000,000 people in America, April 19th was “just another day”. No flags were waved, no bands _ played, and few if any—Americans n REMEMBERED. Dispatches told of a “Peace Demonstration” staged by students on the camp- us of the Unive of Michigan, with United Stz nator Ger- ald P. Nye of North Dakota as the principal speaker.

Wash., 17.—America’s last large mercial sailing vessel. the fiv sted windjammer Vigilant, has passed from the maritime scene. The Vigilant, which carried lumber from Puget Sound to Hawaii, was sold recently to the Canadian Transport Company, Ltd., of Vancouver, B. C. She will be outfitted with auxiliary power and be used between Canadian ports and the South Seas. Built in 1918 at Hoquiam, Wash., the Vigilant was among the last of a long line of sailing ships that made America’s wind- jammer fieet famous. Her best time between Hawaii annd the mouth of Puget Sound was 18 days. She was capable of carry- ing 2,000,000 feet of lumber.

Democracy. In appreciation of those bless- jings and advantages we should, Jabove all other peoples of the jearth, possess hearts aflame with {love of country and its demo- jeratic principles, and instill in |the hearts and minds of our chil- ‘dren the same love and loyalty, if the nation is to survive. We need not teach our jdren to carry arms as do_ totali- tarian countries, but we should |see to it that our educational in- | stitutions, from grade schools on |up, encourage and foster love of ;country and teach an unswerving |loyalty to those democratic prin- ‘ciples upon which it is founded. ; There was formed in Miami recently the Florida Congress for Education on American De- mocracy, its purpose being to arouse in the hearts and minds of our people a knowledge of what true democracy is, to stim- julate our patriotism and encour- age our loyalty to its teachings and institut S.
