Science

Today no scientist would write a
history of the ancient world. 1t would
be out Of date the day 1t was issued
Science is reaping a crop OF historic
and prehistoric material in such duan-
titles as was never known before.
Well-equipped and well-fnanced ex-
petitions have been in the field for
the last few years and more are CON
stantly being formed. Scientific adj
ventures in Egypt, Yucatan, Africa.
Siberia, Australia and many other
places are being reported in the news
papers and magazines. Many others
in more obscure places are under way.
Discoveries covering every portion of
the earths surface and dating back
five hundred million years have been
made. The museums Of the world
were never so busy as at present in
receiving and caring for material that
tells the story of the past life of this
planet.
Many of the textbooks and works
Of authority, accepted as final few
years ago, are now known to be out
Of date. Many Of the theories. accept
ed as facts over a long period of
years are being questioned. Many of
the problems mentioned in these books
as something for the centuries to
solve are being solved. At no time in
the worlds career, so far as science
knows, has knowledge made such
progress.

McCray Case

To the Editor Of The Times
To get down to the point of which
I wish to speak, allow me 10 recall
letter published in last Fridays
Times by Isador Wulfson. He states
Whatever else he Governor Nc
Cray may have done was an in
cjvidual matter and not public
affair"
Since when do we have such men
in our public offices and yet it Is no
ones business? Look at the little
9-year-old boy sentenced to twelve
years for forging a SIS check. He Is
young enough to teach the awful
results Of such practice. Where did
he learn it? If no one taught him.
likely he has seen someone write
check and sign their name. and
thought 1t manly. Surely he does not
realize what he has done.
To Run Our Business
Mr. McCray was put in high Office
TO run our States business to the
best of his ability. yet he is charged
with using his name as Governor to
DO things that would mean life"
for any common tax paying, law
abiding citizens.
Mr.. Wulfson's letter would give US
the idea that as soon as man gets
to be Governor or President he can
get away with anything as long as 1t
is his personal affair.
am With Mr.. WaIb and Post
master General New, the only men in
our State that seem TO have nerve
enough to come out for the right and
stay there. Let's all boost these men.
Our State is already the laughing
stock of the stage in other States.
Which Is Worse
Putting these two cases side by
sid which is the worse-a little O.
year-old child and a SIS check, or a
IMAM old enough to know better
passing several checks amounting to
thousands?
Let's have justice. If these charges
against Governor McCray are true.
let's ask him to resign and insist up
on it. If he does resign he'll show
the right spirit If he does not, VS.
may have to follow another State
example.

by NATIONAL SAFETY Council
Street safety begins at your front
door. Keep your front steps and the
sidewalks around your home free from
ice, or at least sprinkle with sand or
ashes. The next victim may be some
member Of your family, a guest or
you yourself. Moreover, the city or
dinance holds you responsible for
walking conditions in front of your
property.
Watch your footing when you are
away from home; your neighbor may
not be as thoughtful of others as you
are. Icy walks are an important
source Of revenue for doctors during
the winter months.
Falls seldom occur when we expect
them. We think of something, we
step from the firm concrete to treach-
erous ice and there is a "thudding"
thud. The just as we'll as the wicked,
sometimes have occasion to stand in
slippery places. So wear sharp
eye, watch your step and Join the

The Open Road
BY BERTON BRALEY

BY BERTON BRALEY
We love the open country,
The pleasant rural scene,
The ozone rare that's in the air
So brisk and clear and keen,
Where one is free as ne can be,
Where-you know what I meant
We love the open country,
The trees. the hills, the sky,
Our lungs are filled, our hearts are
thrilled
AS we go touring by,
Where nature smiles for miles on
miles
To glad the questing eye.
We love the open country,
The road that stretches far,
But find the air is chilly there
You know how these things are
And lest the breeze should make US
sneeze
We use a sedan car.
We love the open country.
But you know I suppose,
The sun shines down and tans you
brown,
Puts freckles on your nose.
A good sedan avoids that tan
And shuts out wind that blows.
We love the open country,
It's such change from town,
eve can not see sky. hill OF tree.
When leaves are green or brown,
But, oh, we ride SO snug inside
With all the curtains down!)
