THE ORACLE WHAT.

MOTHER'S DAY, 1949 The second Sunday in May, Mother’s Day, presents mankind with an opportuni- ty to. do, honor to the living and revere the memory of departed mothers. Mere words cannot adequately ex- press the heartfelt gratitude of sons and daughters whose lives have been blessed by devoted mothers. The mother, loving and beloved, not only inspires her children but, more par- ticularly, by precept and example, teaches, trains, uplifts and improves them. The homage that men and women pay toa the shrine of motherhood is but a token of memories deep in their hearts. Adult years, with parenthood and uder standing, ane often necessary before one fully ap- preciates the service and selfless sacrifice of mothers. Let us not forget, however, that, in the words .* Thackery, “Mother isthe name for God Jn the lips and hearts of little children.” Coleridge called a mother “the holiest « thing alive’ and George Herbert thought one good mother “worth a hundred scheol- masters.” A Spanish proverb adds, “An ounce.ef mother is worth a ton of priest.” = Most beloved is the Yiddish proverb “God could not be everywhere, sc he made Savetbiens.” i leading to war, but their view is- different pociieedel cane ca great cans, over indications that seemed to be if his pilates’ in lite was to save the Negroes he ough where and de it. “Phat is worth OnGbied of,” replied Phils} TLEWIS, lips. “And what is your business’ Pvt.

Western Powerg will insist ‘oh Whintalaita their position, in the removal of the block- ades, which is that ‘Russia’s offer '' to re- sume traffic betwen the eastern and west- ern zones of Berlin will not depend on the Allies relinquishing their stand in other matters. | Since then other leading Americans have said it appears the war tension has eased’ up. W. Averill Harriman, Marshall Plan Ambassador, asserted on Saturday that “we are moving away from war.” But he feels like every other thinking American, who, long since, has been aware that the Russians often act with an ulterior motive in view. If they~entertain that attitude in the blockade matter, they will wake up to learn they are butting their heads against a stonewall of resis- tence. Harriman tacked on to his statement about his belief that we “are moving away from war”: “But America must’ help re- arm Atlantic-pact nations to maintain that peace momentum.” It was proved conclusively in 1939 that a nation bent on aggression can not be appeased by soft words or by conces- sions. England, under Chamberlain, tried to appease Hitler and that policy led to war. The men inthe Kremlin are of the Hitler stamp, and the only thing that can stop their aggressive bent, as it would have stopped Hitler, is might, the only thing they fear. e Chapter 18 [aottar bt T the end f the week Felicity .

The “sensational tisclosures” have been printed in a French,newspaper but the same suspicion attaches to his revelations as to other similar articles which may be due to the eagerness: of a writer to sell an article for publication. The German claims that the Russians have a greater rocket missile than the United States and that they are “almost ready to fly to the moon. to get a base from which to bombard any place on the earth with rockets.” This statement comes under the head of interesting, if true. The German doctor also said that he witnessed certain secret tests on the Black Sea coast, during which Soviet sub- marines dived under the water and created a tidal wave more than seventy feet high “which moved away from us at fantastic speed.” He thinks the phenomenon: was controlled. There is no explanation why the force which created the tidal wave did not create the counter-force moving |» in the oppogite direction. Consequently, the so-called. experi- ment seems to violate physical laws and may be put down as nonsense. There is no reason to believe that the Soviet Union has worked any miracles in connection with military devices. The same type of story abounded before and during the recent wars an@ they will continue to crop out from time to time. Sensible per- sons will not become exicited. Henry L.
