Pastor Deplores
Carnival influence
Addresses Open Letter to Resi-
dents Of City to Discourage
Such Amusements.
Dear Fellow Citizens:

Dear Fellow Citizens:
Current rumor has it hat in the
neal future, probably Aug. Is and 16.
the local base ball club is to have a
travelling carnival to be located at
Shore Road and Verona avenue. This,
of course. not for the fun of it, but for
of raising funds to pay the
of the club.
More and more are these carnivals
being banned by county prosecutors,
and by city mayors, and it is well
that they are, for they are dens OF
vice. Will the Christian ministers
and the Churches of this city stand
idly by and permit such a carnival
to set up herein without a determined
protest. Will the Kiwanis Club, whose
motto is I'VE Build" and whose mem
bers singly and collectively have con-
tributed to all child welfare work of
the city, and county, stand silently by
and permit the things that tear down
more quickly than Kiwanis a build?
Are the bodies of the boys and girls
clothed by Kiwanis from time to time
OF more Importance and of greater
value than the morals of all u boys
ard girls? While 1--WE build" let us
look well to the foundation on which
we luild. Am | a good Kiwanian if ]
Ia public or In private play the races,
the slot machines, or the punch
boards? Am l any better Kiwanian
if l rem ground for purposes of a lot.
terry? Let Kiwanis take her stand
against everything that tends toward
the breach of law and the demoraliz'
ine of our young people.
There is meeting from time to time
somewhere in our city two organiza
tions-one of men and one of women
One of the purposes of this Ku Klus
Khan is the keeping and the enforce
ment of the law. All the games OF
chance at the carnivals referred tc
are in clear violation Of the State law
in respect to gambling-so declared
Chief Justice Kalisch. Here will be q
splendid chance for the Khan to show
its strength and prove its sincerity
touching the law-by re~fraining from
patronage of the Carnival in its gam
bling aspects and requesting Mayor
Jackson to notify the owners of thu
Carnival that nothing indecent ant
unlawful will be tolerated and that !
they set up and play their games 0
chance they will be arrested and thei

RADIO GUIDE
 NOn AIHAEnnQ E TUn HVhIUM ! IS PERFECTED
Lieut.. Goddard Flies In Fog By Means Of New
 Device
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-The first test of the "radio compass" guide for ayiators on an airway flight promises the end of all fears for the flier who now must largely guess his way when fog or haze obscures his view of the earth. /
 Radio compass mechanicism perfected after long experiment by the army air service and signal corps to overcome the handicap of low visibility in flying was given it's first practical test yester- day in a flight between the airway points of Dayton, Ohio, and Huntsville, W. Va, by Lieut.. George w. Goddard The result is viewed as having an i'm. portant bearing on the development of commercial aviation. 4. ,.s
 While a constant stream of signals flowed between the radio towers att the two places, Lieutenant Goddard flying iii a haze and without attempting to guide by landmarks, was kept on vir, tual bee line route by special recely- ing apparatus that told him by the sig nals when he was sliding off his course
 When he was on the straight course he heard only dashes in the signalling between the towers. When he got of to the left he was told so by hearing a dash and then a dot repeated at in tervals of 10 seconds, similarly dot and dash signal warned him when he was swerving too far to the right Lieutenant Goddard wore a specially designed helmet, tight fitting and equip ped with ear phones, and the plane as ar aerial acrried a wire 300 to 400 feet in length held down by weight
