WHITTIER ARE We DRIFTING?

What has become of the spirit which
actuated our people TO show their rev
prence for the heroes and herOines who
saved our country in the dark days of
the early sixties?
Only Il few years ago the people
turned out en- masSe TO show their re-
Spcct to the veterans of the civil war.
Elaborate preparations were made to
observe Memorial Day. Patriotic pro
grams were prepared and carried out
in the spirit of reverence for those who
had passed beyond and devotion to
those who remained with Us. Old and
young. prominent and obscure, Joined
in the exercises Of Memorial Day-we
called it Decoration Day then, name
less appropriate but which meant more
than the present appellation appears
to man-great paradeS marched, mar
tial music by bands and drum corps
filled the air: there were reviewing
stands flags everywhere. and the very
atmosphere breathed the spirit of pa
tri0tism and reverence.
How different it was last Monday,
at least in LadySmith. Instead of the
people volunteering to help with the
program. and turning out to hear and
see Il. they had to be cOaXcd or begged
to contribute little time and little
effort. \ few responded. but the many,
the very ones it was to have been eX-
pccted would SHOW the greatest inter
est. apparently forgot what the day
was set aside for, and devoted it to
pleasure or to business.
\ noble little band of WOmen--the
WOman's Relief Corps and the Service
Star LegiOn-With the help of a few
men and some school children, saw the
program thrOugh-carried it out to the
best of their ability. But their efforts
were not appreciated as they should
have been. Flags were absent from
many business places and homes where
they should have been. People went to
the country for good time and other
wise devoted themselves to pleasure.
Should not Memorial Day mean more
to true Americans now than ever be-
fore? With the din of a great war
nght for democracy and the salvation

Gtilled. we carelessly disregard

Government figures show that there
are 10000 farm houses vacant and
1922 idle farms in Michigan. The
farmers abandoned their farms and
went TO the cities where they could get
more money and shorter hours OF Ia
Dor. With such conditions prevailing
and the food gamblers mdisturbed by
the government. it is no wonder that
food prices are high. They are bound
TO remain high until these conditions
are corrected.

CONTRACTOR MAY LOSE
100000 in PROFITS
Shipping Board Inquiries About It's
Right to Recover That Sum
of Resale Monies.
WLES NHI/oNHL.

The Governments possible saving
of $5.000.o0o. under ship contracts,
engineered by Christopher Hannevig,
a Norwegian, was considered today
by the Shipping Board.
Hannevig swung contract for ship
building Involving many millions, and
later re-sold these contracts to other
interests. and inquiry Is being made
as to the right of the Government to
recover on moneys authorized for that
purpose.
Chairman Payne said today the
amount involved in the contracts with
Hannevig might exceed 100000, and
more likely would reach $6.o00,000.
The boards investigation has re-
vealed that Hanevig acquired sole
ownership of a half dozen large cor
porations soon after the entry of the
United States into the war. Chief
among these were the Pusey and Jones
Shipbuilding Corporation.
Cancellations of contracts with the
Pussy and Jones Company alone
amount to approximately $4,000, 900.
Hannevig. according to Judge Payne,
after contracting to build forty-fve
ships for the Government at about
$3.50 deadweight tonnage, disposed OF
many Of his contracts to the Cunard
interests and to a few French con-
Germs, at an advance of $50 a dead
weight ton, reaping a fortune in the
transaction.

But a great country that was able
20 spend from $3O,00O,000 to 100000
900 day in the closing days of the
war. that was able to lend many bill
lions of dollars to Europe and $1,000

still feels rich enough to permit Eu-

dollars due in interest on the money
sent abroad for loans, surely Is rich
enough to provide for the men who
did the fghting. even though the sum
required appears TO be stupendous,"
he continued.
