Joe Hendricks also will seek renomination next May, but their constituents know taining or overriding the President. that a fifteen-year-old schoolboy is dead from a gunshot wound, a seventeen-year- old student is in a serious condition with ab- dominal stab wounds, another has a frac- tured, skull resulting from a blow from a lead-pipe; and several others are in hospi- tals undef treatment for head and body in- juries, algo inflicted by lead-pipes. The fights, according to newspaper re- ports, resulted in at least ten riot calls. They broke out in front of a high school, following’ disturbances which grew out of a minor Altercation at an inter-acholastié track meet. ‘ Subsequently, it seems, two boys were thrown into a lake and general warfare re- sulted, marked by gunfire, lead-pipe slug- gings, knife-play and general fisticuffs. s Polige expressed the opinion that bet- ter supervision at the track meet would have avoided the disturbances. This is obvious. While the disturbances occurred in Newark,-N. J., they might well have taken « place at any high school in the country. The unrestrained rivalry of students sometimes results infighting and, in the heat of con- \ flict, boys, like men, resort to drastic meas- ures, = It isseasy to condemn the students, They should be censured, but it is appar- ent that sehool leadership and parental au- thority are not always what they should be. MUST BE HUMBLED? We confess that we are up i derstand exactly what,an Army. ix. means when he tells the people of, the Ynit- ed States'that “America must: be humbled lest she be destroyed before she can be used by God.” The-Rev, Ben Lacy Rose, Regimental Chaplainof the 113th Cavalry at Camp Hood, Texas, recently declared that Amer- ica had @ great destiny, not only with her armies, but with her leadership among na- tions of ‘the earth, but, he asserted that, “unless she is humbled, God cannot use her for a great nation.” We have little id e a what the brother means by “humbled,” and until he speci. fies, it is tather difficult to intelligently ap. \ praise hf$ utterance. The term used is ex- tremely general, can mean anything and we find it difficult to understand what th, chaplainehas in mind. + i ST f Unéxpectedly “the, Federal Suprejise Court tifmed back the a, jccaiaee Everglaffes Drainage District refund for further study.

The tremendous upsurge of farming in the Glades, probable early action on develop- ing Everglades National Park make the situatioa one of major import to some eleven South Florida counties.—Fuller’s Florida think for them, yet it believes that they felt, | and still feel; that in time of war no man | should strike and thereby retard our war- } effort.Our boys who are sweating and bleeding and dying do not strike; they are fighting to preserve our freedom, and, in accomplishing their aim, strikers, as well as up-and-doing citizens, will be benefited. It makes our blood curdle to think of #, man’s curbing the war-effort, which means, ultimately, handicapping our men on the front lines, purely because of a ques tion of money. Megsure money with life, with honor, with patriotism, and money is the veriest dross. Listen to the “Bang!” That tells you | and you and you that we are still a democ- racy, that we are not a one-man government, as is the case in Germany and Italy and Ja- pan. Majority rules in the United States, and while thinking of majority bear in mind it requires two-thirds of congress to override & presidential veto. And that was done with votes to spare. Bang! You can never tell what is going happen in a democracy. It is not a blue- | print government, like that of a totalitarian | state. Frequently, some of us blare about | this or about that.

If Mrs. Fay and Mr. Newton were typical of the guests she would be glad, he thankful, to be able to close Ter- rence House to them. That might force them to employ the self dis- cipline and genuine exercise their | to cases required.
