DEMONSTRATION BY THE SEN.
ATE

We are now, Ladies and Gentle
men, being given a demonstration by
the United States Senate of what 1t
thinks Of the urgency of tax relief
and the World Court. 1t is a silent
demonstration no louder than a vote
to adjourn all activity-the commit
tee with the tax bill along with the
rest-taking a two weeks vacation
after being in session three weeks
which included four busy days, fol-
lowing nine months vacation. Ii
we recall correctly the incidents at
tending the last occasion. when the
Senate voted itself more money,
greater celebrity was shown.
All this occurs very quietly; few
weeks later the Senate will not be so
quiet; it will be Grating long and
powerfully after it's long rest; it Will
be bombarding the public with
voluminous issues of the Congress
sional Record, no reader of which
may escape the conclusion that were
Congress to relinquish for one bless
ed moment its grasp of the tail OF
the bear of circumstance there could
possibly be no salvation for the
country. Like so many of the rest of
us the distinguished Senators are
much more strenuous at proclaiming
their zeal than for demonstrating 1t
by work.
And speaking of demonstrations
they may be implicitly trusted to
demonstrate the need of the Dawes
or of some other kind of regulation.

OAK GROVE

In former years. it was the custom
at Oak Grove during the week before
Christmas to have party at which
gifts were exchanged among the stu
dents. When the subject of Christ
mas party was broadcasted this
year, three plans were suggested:
LIST, have a party as in former years
with the exchange of gifts; End,
collect the money that would be used
in the purchasing of the gifts and
give the money to one of the organ
lied charities; 3rd, have the party
as usual but instead of exchanging
gifts. present them to the children of
the village. When put to a vote,
plans one and two were set aside
and number three accepted with
great enthusiasm. From the be-
ginning, the party spelled Success"

The Rivers Edge

The Rivers Edge
cast an eye from rocky ledge
And look upon the rivers edge;
Serene and calm it stands beside
The whirling currents sweeping tide.
1t moves not once, IL keeps it's place,
Day in, day out, 1T suns its face
And guards the rivers winding course
AS tho monument of force.
'Tis covered in the fall with leaves
That come from summers fading
trees,
And in the spring tits cleansed again
With running brooks from winters
I know not why I dearly love
Each hidden cove, each cliff above,
But this I feel, I freely pledge,
My soul Lives by the river edge.
