Thirty-six states already have divi- | sions of service for the blind, according to organization this year to get such a divi- ‘| gion set up in Florida under the welfare de- partment. As the Lions peint .out, the United which the blind can produce. Florida, with 2,346 blind persons receiving state pen- | sions, must get its mops and brooms from agency which this state has not. North Carolina, for instance, has re- | ported: | “It would cost annually $117,540 in | county, state and federal funds to provide | direct relief at the present average grant of $15.00 per month to maintain 653 per- | | sons in blindness, which is the number of | blind persons who have had their vision re- | stored bygoperations paid by the North Catgliaa Gommtission for the Blind.” | A ae the financial aspect of their | case must be stréssed by the Lions in order | to win approval. before a hard-pressed F could restore the sight of hundreds | of men and women and restore the self re- | spect of hundreds of others who are in- | curable is enough to present the proposed measure with a powerful argument. The hopeless, pensioned army of Flor- ida’s blind is one of the state’s most pitiful liabilities. | tional training and a ray of hope through efforts to effect a cure, could be one of the state’s valuable assets. The Lions and their bill deserve every possible aid. HOW ABOUT MAJORITY RIGHTS? There are some individuals in the serving the rights of minorities that they threaten to forget the rights of the ma- jority. has the right to rule the country. This idea seems to be absurd in some quarters. Many editors, in the zeal personal expression, overlook their duty, as patriots, to permit lished, to prevail effectively. In the realm of politics this is danger- ous. National policy, expressing majority opinion, has the right of way over minority opinion, which has no right to use the feat effective government. the rights of individuals and minorities, it majority has some rights, which even a minority shouteé rspect. 5 _——— of British Homés is interested in receiving | steel helmets which will be sent to Great place, as now seems close to inevitable, the | Britain for the use of those exposed to danger during air raids. If any reader has a steel helmet lying around, it might be a good idea to send it to England where it might save a life. The helmet may be shipped without much trouble. All that you have to do is to paste an address tag on the crown and pay ten cents postage. The helmet should be ad- dressed to The American Committee for Defense of British Homes, 10 Warren Street, New York Gity. AIRPLANE ENGINES NOW! An idea ofwhatis happening in the defense prograih js obtained by recalling that in September; 1939, the three manu- facturers of airplane engines in the United States produced between 200 and 300 air- | plane engines. In February, according te William S. | Knudsen, American manufacturers de- | tivered 3.470. high-powered airplane en- | gines.

Here I am sitting on the very edge of Lake Placid in the Adiron- dack mountains. of New York. Mir ror Lake inn is perched on a hillock above me. I’ve just finished a stack of flap-jacks with some of the best maple-sugar syrup I've ever tasted. The sun is shining on the frozen lake; mountain peaks. are clothed in the deepest snow I've seen any- where in America this year. The : woods and trails are dotted with ski- ers. Roadways banked in ice, with three-passenger and ten-passenger sleighs skimming along behind jin- gle-belled sturdy, mountain horses. For months now I’ve been bob bing about the country. I have been trying to find out how the country is | getting on, what people are thinking about, and what’s happened since I was last there. Since early Septem- ber I’ve been lecturing too, in nearly every state in the Union. neo S But this is not new to me, for all my life it seems, I’ve been going places. Even as a boy I made doz- ens of trips across the Atlantic, and | visited nearly every country in Eu- rope, as well as a major portion of our own country. For the past 23 years I've been a Roving Corre- spondent in all parts of the world: I was in Italy when Fascism walked into Rome; in Germany when Naziism began; in Russia just after Communism was born; in China as the Japanese stalked into Shanghai; in Spain two hours after, the revolu- | tion broke out; at Hyde Park, N, Y., the night the New Deal swept into | power; in Europe the summer of 1939 on the eve of the Armagedon; and in Central and South America | last summer as democracy lay at the cross-roads. Being on the spot at the crucial moment has been partly luck, partly experience, and partly the good judg- ment of the editors who employ me. Don’t know. how far I’ve traveled, but would say well over 2,000,000 miles. Early in life I made up my mind to find out for myself how people lived in all walks of life. With a Fifth Avenue background this was impossible if I stayed there. So when just 17 I ran away from home and enlisted in the United States army. I added a year to my age. Spent 22 months as a buck-private with the American Expeditionary forces in France. After the war I went to work on the editorial staff of a New York newspaper. Since 1919. I have been employed by I don’t know how many newspapers | years almost continuously for one big string of publications. see The more I've traveled abroad, the more I realize how fortunate we are to be Americans. Every time I step on a gangplank of a ship that has “U, S. A.” written on the other end, I breathe a sigh of relief for the freedom from petty nuisanees and regimentation found elsewhere. I always feel like embracing the | Statue of Liberty and shaking hands | with the first cop, when I reach | home. I think I would be satisfied if, dur- ing the rest of my life, I could be | of some aid in helping Americans better to appreciate their native land. The more one travels in this great country of ours, the prouder | is he to be an American. We must iron out our internal difficulties and | forget our sectional jealousies. We must pull together, all of us, for the | time is fast approaching when we may have to stand together, alone, against the rest of the world. Only through a strong feeling of fellow- ship and close co-operation will we | be able to protect our priceless her- itage of liberty and our form of democracy. Foreign vultures with their power diplomacy and jungle strategy ap proach more ominously each day. Few Americans realize what a priv ilege it is to make the 3,000-mile run from San Franciseo to New Yorks on a wide, “well-kept, well- marked highway, bordered with ex- cellent service stations, fine restau- rants and stores and modern hotels and tourist camps. To encounter everywhere expert, courteous serv- ice and fair prices. Or to make the 2,200-mile run from Los Angeles to Chicago in less than 40 hours in luxurious streamlined trains; or the overnight skyway hop from coast- to-coast. Compare this with what you used to find in Europe—in the Orient there is nothing actually to compare with. But enough about me and my own travels. From hereon I prom- ise to talk chiefly of places, people and things along the way. So let's get going—going places. Next week we'll be on our way. s*e SEEING THINGS: Driving up to Placid from Plattsburgh Barracks where the U. S, is training ski-troops for service in Newfoundland and Alaska, could scarcely keep my eye om the road for watching the fan- tasticaly beautiful mist formations rising from Lake Champisin. Ex pected to be equally moved by Aus- able Chasm. It is reppted to be one of the marvels of this part of the country. Perhaps this is an awe- inspiring sight to easterners, but te one familiar with the West, this chasm was but a spasm to me Subseribe to The Citizen, 20c ‘weekly. J. S.
