Boosters
BY Hal Cochran

I'll lay you a bet you're Just hui
man enough to like to be praised
now and then. That's true of the
meek-like and also the gruff. and
it's true OF both women and men.
When somebody tell you that some
friend has said a word that's a
compliment quite, they're feeding
you praise that you like to be fed.
Be fair and admit that I'm right
No matter how far you may slip
In your work, it seems you can
always come back, and switch to
new life from the small run Of shirk
If you lust get a slap on the back.
The real inspiration that comes
to a man is really the work of a
friend. He clears up your doubt;
makes you know that you can. It's
the praising that helps in the end.
Give credit to boosters whose
credit is loosed and give you am
bition to try. But say, after ALL
il your family can boost-well, you
must be a regular guy.

Law and the Shipping
Board

RI HE majority of the United States Ship
ping Board, having voted to turn over to
the Dollar Steamship Coat a tremendous
financial loss-fve trans Pacific liners now
operating proftably for the Government, the
minority members suggested that the opinion
of the attorney general be asked as to the
legality of this action The majority members
refused to do this.
The reason for their refusal possibly is found
in the first section of the Merchant Marine Act.
1t reads:
'That it is necessary for the national
defense and for the proper growth Of for
eign and domestic commerce that the
United States shall have a merchant
marine of the best equipped and most suit
able type of vessels sufficient to carry the
greater portion of its commerce and serve
as naval or military auxiliary in time of
war or national emergency, ultimately to
be owned and operated privately by citi-
zens of the United States, and it is hereby
declared to be the policy of the United
States to do whatever may be necessary to
develop and encourage the maintenance Of
a merchant marine and in so far as may
not be inconsistent with the express pro-
visions of this act, the United States
Shipping Board shall, in the disposition of
vessels and shipping property as herein
after provided, in the making of rules and
regulations, and in the administration of
shipping laws, keep always in view this
purpose and object as the primary end to
be obtained
Note the specific requirement that perma-
nent operation and replacement be assured in
case of sale of government vessels to private
operators Under the terms Of sale Just made
the Dollar company promises to operate the
vessels to the Orient for five years and promises
nothing more. The Dollar company always has
oper ated under the flag most advantageous to
tself. During the World War it operated
under the British Flag In case of a war on
the Pacific, at the end of the five years, there
is no telling what flag the Dollar company
might select. Certainly there is no assurance
that thee United States Navy could call these
vessels nto service as naval auxiliaries.
One of the principal purposes of the Mer
chant Marine Act, one of the principal grounds
which the taxpayers money was used for the
construction of these vessels, is ignored The
Administration wants to get out of the ship
ping business before any further showing Of
profits is made. In its haste to do so, it NAV
appear to lay reader of the law, the Ad-
ministration is fagrantly violating both the
spirit and the letter of the statutes

surdly disproportionate to those
paid real teaching and research
geniuses. And 50 on down the
list.
Sometimes it seems that the
chief aim of colleges is athletic
glory. and that the purpose OF
education is to exploit nimble legs
instead Of minds. But neither
students nor colleges are entire
ly responsible. The general public
must share the blame.
The antics OF a molecule OF hy-
drogen may thrill scientists and
be of vast importance but 1t won't
draw crowd. People don't jam
stadjW and yell themselves
boar at contests between chem
ical rmulae and Latin verbs
Will they do at football games.
This popular attitude toward
the athletic side of college activi-
ties encourages the expansion of
sports. But the result is not alto
gether evil.
Victorious athletic teams attract
students. new buildings. fatten en-
downments and financial support
OF institutions. When sports are
coducted on a scale that is>detri-
mental. college faculties have
power-if they will use ito de-
flate them.

ten. And my house shall be house
Of prayer.
MEDITATION-While It is true
that we can each one decide for
himself the way he will go in life.
it is just as true that having de.
cided on a course of action we must
accept the results which mark the
end Of that course. There Is moral
authority in the world and the end
Of the journey is marked from the
beginning. Jesus did not make the
punishment of evil, he simply stated
what that punishment is. His Fa-
theirs house was a house OF prayer
and men had made 1t an evil place.
He did not temporize or seek to per-
suade but drove the evildoers from
the temple that good men might
come and worship. Thus we must
cleanse our lives. We cannot keep
evil thoughts and holy ambitions in
the same heart. Let us cleanse the
temple of the Holy Spirit
PRAYER-Almight God our Fa-
Their, create within us clean hearts.
Drive out all unholy desires and pas
sions. Make thou our souls fit COM
panions of thy spirit. Let us feel
DEPENDENCE upon thy word May thy
authority rule in our lives. In
Christ's name. Amen.
