In completing the. organigation all loopholes fot. bhoape. by. rebellious nations were closed. But strange o & may seem Soviet Russia has be etowling, and howling, about the rest of the World almost from the time our enemies surrendered in Europe and the Orient. Practically every American famil- iar with conditions in Russia repeats over end ever again, the same statement that Russa has withheld the news of the Coun- ot from her own people. Their news- papers and radios have suppressed the news of the Russian walkout on the UN Security Council in New York. While the American and British Gov- ermments have exercised the patience of a the Soviet so-called “states- at the New York Council meetings not unmanageable, but they have tried to impose Soviet dictation pair of Jobs, men” been have only on the nations of the World. When peace was being mapped in Paris at the close of World War I our President, Woodrow Wilson, was out- aeeed by our own Allies. But Wilson took « chance and did his level best to land the Leagte of Nations on a firm base. But the undation was weak, and the United Mates backed away, and dropped out of the picture. This terrible failure has served o a warning in creating the organization known as the United Nations. Russia will have to crawl back into rood standing. with the new World forces snd live up to the principles and the ideals for whieh it stands. Russia will most likely take ite licking, and come back into the Council. The British Empire and the United States are not going to knuckle- down under Communism. Russia can't buck the World, or weaken the determina- tien to outlaw future wars.

FIRST-CLASS AIRFIELD © ies Three weeks or so ago The Citizen was informed that, “in about 60 days”, we would know the status of the naval air base on Boca Chica, whether it would be closed, operated on a reduced scale. or continued as it is now. Before then, and since then, unoffi- cial reports have continued to be wade about the base, as a result of which a civic committee has been named to try to have the navy retain the base on its present status. The Citizen trusts the committee will succeed in attaining its objective, yet of one thing we are certain: the airfic!d is there and one-half of it belongs to Monroe county. “Thé' Monroe céunty' part éf the field is estimated to be worth $2,000,000, and, accdrding to an agreement with the federal government, the field is to beigiven back tothe country within six months after the war has been officially declared to be over. That proclamation has not yet been made by the President. Recently, the county commissioners have not discussed the question of what they will do with the field when it is re- turned to the county, but at the time the agreement was made with the govern- ment, on the reduction of the lease from $2,400 to $1 a year, commissioners spoke of using their part ofthe base as a great commercial airfield. Should that be done, the county! will have on ithe best ge] of that type. if pleased to | to continue indefinitely the! use of tihe base, | vet, regardless of what the decision may ! be, the county stands to get a first- clasd airfield.

The pub lic relations of the railroads and steam-‘ ship companies have always shot their wads in releases to the daily newspapers. The airways are tagging after them. Although the heart of America is in those regions where the family news- Papers are printed, they are ignored by the wise public relations brass hats of transportation. Just why Congress has to bother with propositions of steamship lines engaging in air service is difficult to understand in view of the fact that the big job the steam- ship companies have ahead of them is to restore the operation of steamship lines across ocean: routes. There are fleets’ of steamships tied up in United States ports and in the rivers and the steamship companies should put them to work. Too many drag the past into the peur: Let the past bury its dead. In Japan, where the people have political freedom for the first time, there are ninety political parties. This almost dooms the new-found freedom. Sea FIFTY MILES UP A needle-pointed rocket has been fired “straight up” for fifty miles, reach- ing far into the inosphere and ¢ ing scientific instruments designed to give the Army some idea about what is overhead. The rocket, it is explained, is not a war weapon but a research instrument that may be utilized by the Weather Bureau to collect information about wind velocities, temperatures and gravity over the earth. The fact that the item makes news indicates the inability of man, despite his Progress, to learn much about the upper atmosphere and emphasizes our compara- tive ignorance of the envelope which coy- ers the globe. ea pal a Chapter 19 TH sun shone brightiy over Rush’s shoulder as he sat at his desk. He had eaten breakfast an hour, before his usual time. He felt that this would be a busy day—that thi were due to hap- pen. As a matter of fact, anes _ tended to spend the d: that. they happened. He "knew that the only way to get all the facts was to light fires ynder the individuals concerned. The facts pte boil to the surface eventu- y. On the agenda he had listed in his. mind were several impor- tant fires. To light them he needed fuel. He stabbed the button of the inter-office communicator. Ger- trude answered. “Has Merwin been around?” he asked. “He phoned that he’d be in Barney’s if you needed him.” ‘hese I'll be there for a while. ees call you if anything comes Rush found Merwin engrossed in a Racing Form with a fishbow] of beer at his elbow. Rush ‘slid into the booth opposite him. “Merwin, I put you on a job yesterday, remember?” “Oh, yeah, that—” “well , have you got anything?” Merwin knit his bro~: in obvi- ous concentration. “After = left Markio’s I hit a lot of spots.

Then I drop a question or two. The minute I mention the girl’s name I get a chill.” of JOE BARRY “Was Big Mick there?” as Pe just a couple or three of one Now tell me =vinllee about ‘Big Mick. He's fairly new out there, isn’t he? I don’t, re- member anything about him.’ “He's a guy from Detroit. was just another guy with a rod up there I hear, but he came down here and made a couple of quick touches and puts himself up in business with this bar.” “How smart is he?” “How. should I know, Rush?" Merwin looked puzzled. “Okay, Merwin. Now, listen, T'm going out there. If he's just a muscle guy with no brains he may try to get tough. I don’t want to get tied up, so'if you don’t he.r from me by five this afternoon call Sam Carnahan and come af- ter me. In the meantime, dig around and see if you can hear anything about a couple of em- eralds. Find out if they’re hot and if anybody is trying te fence them. I'll call you here at five o'clock if I'm loose. If I’m not, come spring me.” T was a glass-front bar set in a block of shabby frame build- ings. The windows were painted a flat brown except for a circle in the center. Behind the open center was a neon sign spelling BIG MICK’S circled with a glow- ing red neon tube. Rush walked to the door and entered. The room was almost empty. The only activity was a conver- | sation tween two men who stood in'the middle of the place looking a at § e booths and | gu: W Ils.

W. R. “COME NOW, AND LET US REASON TOGETHER” “For some time now t have been impressed to write on Isaiah 1:18, and Isaiah 55:6,7,” a reader tells us in a letter to this column. In the letter, the ebntributor ex/ presses the hope that the impres- sions gleaned from those passages may provide the turning point in \{the lives of some.* Spit tual Food’; nf } follower The message may, not penetrate deep. enough, into the heart just now to accomplishsits purposezhrt probably/at some ‘later time. a reader’s thoughts may turn again to this Jayman’s sermon and bring that peérspn to God. While meditating on the three verses in Isaiah, our contributor set down the following thoughts: “Isaiah-1:18 reads: ‘Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord;*though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.’ “The first two words in tl verse says, ‘COME NOW’, not to- morrow or some other day, NOW... TODAY. Friend, God wants to talk with you NOW. He wants to reason with you about your sins NOW. He says, ‘Though’ they be as scarlet’ He will make them “as white as snow’. “Can thereebe anything more | reasonable than that? God loves you, He wants to save you, and He wants to do it NOW. Don’t put off your soul’s salvation. Come TODAY and be saved—tomorrow , may be too late. Life is unce tain, eternity is sure. You will! have to spend eternity somewhere —your soul will never die... it will live on and on as long as eternity lasts. The choice is up to you but God wants to forgive your sins and make you ready to spend , eternity with Him. He loves you,| He gave His Only Begotten Son to die for you. NOW to a re: sonable toe and let Him forgive you is near. Let the wicked forsake his ways, and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and let him return unto the Lord, {mercy on him; and to our God, jfor He will abundantly pardon.’ “The way is open, God i: waiting, Christ hsa made the with Him eternally. The decision lies with you.
