DYNAMITE ON THE MENU
MEMORIAL DAY
Allen Rodgers)

Another memorial day has come
and gone and Father Time marks
down one more year from a conflict
in which half of the human family
was involved. and millions of its peo-
pie destroyed.
But this day, set aside by the gov
ernment, in honor of the soldier
dead took on the aspect of an inter-
national day, for dispatches tell US
that the great republic across the
waters "made the day its very own"
Over a million francs were sub
scribed to buy flowers for American
graves and 125 American soldiers
buried in 125 different places were
honored the same as those buried IN
groups of hundreds and thousands.
Looking from this place across the
Atlantic it seems good that great
people who fought for the same ideals
were equally as kind to ours as their
own devoted dead.
To the writer, in common with many
ether Americans. the day in France
comes home with something more
than patriotic significance and helps
the hope, and binds belief to the
heart that our personal loss was a
possible gain to the rest of the race,
and the flowers that fell 500 freely in
foreign lands on the graves of our
loved ones should bind us close to
those who honored them.
1t is a matter of regret. however,
that number of soldiers buried right
- raf hoy
and a matter of something more than
regret that this great government has
allowed them to lay for over three
quarters of a century in graves un-
marked by monument or other emblem
to tell the take of their supreme sac
rifice to love of country.
From Remus and Romulus to the
last of the Caesars the story of Rome
was told in stone, monuments were
everywhere built commemorating its
highly deeds and statues were erected
to its gods and great men.
1t was near the statue of Cicero
that julius Caesar fell, and to this
statue Brutus turned when he ex-
claimed, "Rejoice now, father Of they
lOI IL LiOC'
So long as they built monuments
and erected statues the enire world
paid tribute to it's growing power,
but when they ceased to build monu-
ments and began the erection Of colos-
sal buildings for the brutal amuse-
ment of the populace; when they
turned from these milestones that
marked it's mighty past, and fixed
their gaze upon the bloody gladia-
torial contest Of the amphitheaters,
the sun of its civilization grew dim,
and the day for Attala and his hordes
of Huns was set.
We might we'll take warning in the
terrible truth that history repeats
itself. "The race is to the swift, the
battle to the strong" and in our mad
rush for wealth and power we have
moved swiftly, if not wisely. We have
pushed forward roughly over the un-
marked graves of the early defend
ers of our faith; have built towers and
cities in all lands and have erected
sky-scraping structures to the glory
of wealth, compared to which the
tower of Babel, the Coliseum and
Circus Maximus Of the Caesars were
squatty huts.
Then. let US here at least, turn
aside for awhile and follow the way
, to old Fort King, as the Chaldean
shepherds followed the lead to the
] Star of Bethlehem, and let US fix our

Poem, Today" recitation by Ce-
ella Loos.
Today
Today is come. See! grandly up
The red light breaks in eastern
skies,
Today is ours, tomorrow still
A pearl within Gods keeping lies.
Not by the dozen or the score
God gives his days, but one by one,
That our weak souls may never have
More work than may be justly done.
His days. like jewels in the rough,
That we may bring their beauty
And make them shine 1t is eno6gh
For any life. And yet, alas!
How seldom do we seem to see
The duty lying meath our hands
That pleads with US all silently.
A few are workers. They in faith
Receive the time as it is given,
Ard in their patient, loving hands,
Each day becomes a step toward
heaven.
Their tears are shed to cleanse the
dross,
Their hearts desire are cast afar,
They bring the gem in beauty forth
And make it sparkle like a star.
An! could we feel the weight of now,
We should not stand with longing
eyes
And hope to do some noble work
On morrows that may never rise.
Then help US. Lord, to know the way
To bear the toll, to meet the strife,
Tc thread each day a fawless gem
Upon the silver cord of life.

sweeping victory in the democratic
national committee yesterday when
that body rec ognized the Palmer
group of delegates in the Georgia
contest and refused to give Senator

hearing and an hour and a half of dis
cussion behind closed doors.
The vote to seat the Georgia Pal
mer delegates was unanimous, forty
nine votes being recorded in their
favor with four committeeman ab-
sent. The action of the national COM
mittee in the Georgia contest carries
with it the reelection of Clark How
eli as a member of the national COM
mittee, his delegates having selected
him at the time they were named III
