TO TRAIN
ARMY AIR RESERVE

NEW YOAK, Dec. 14.-R-Lieu-
tenant Colonel Harold II. Hartncy,
reserve officer in the Army Air Serv-
ice, and vice president of the General
Anyways System, forwarded an offer
today to Secretary Of War Davis to
give 1928 pilots in the Army Air Serv-
ice reserve an opportunity to fly one
hour each week with insurance against
death or injury.
The offer is made in a letter in
which Lieutenant Colonel Hartney,
who is affiliated with the Sikorsky
Aerial Engineering Corporation, pro-
poses the establishment of $50 train
ing centcrs throughout the United
States and its territories and the con-
struction of $50 airplanes of n re-
liable type for practical purposes.
The proposed plan would take the
training of reserve air officers al
most entirely out of the hands of the
government, whose aviation equip
ment, Lieutenant Colonel Hartney de-
clared. is unsafe. He offered to fur
uish bonds covering his plan, which
he said. would call for an expenditure
of $5,00O,000 a year for five years,
as compared with the $4,000, 900
which officers at the Mitchell court
martial at Washington said was nee
essary as an annual budget for reserve
flyers training.

WORTHY CAUSE.
as there more worthy cause than
the defense of America?
Most of us, all truo Americans,
believe that America is worth defend
ing.
IF it is right to defend America,
then it is a right and a duty to enroll
as one of the nations defenders either
as a soldier or as a chaplain.
IAN army for aggression is all
wrong, but an army for defense is all
right.
There is as much difference be-
tween the militsrist and the man who
believes in an army for defense as
there is between the highway robber
and the law abiding citizen.

ssReligiously, America is suffering from
radical superstition. Your cult of hui
manitarianism is founded on the belief
that goodness leads to goodness, human
ity to divinity, reformation to trans
formation. Your stress on happiness,
health, prosperity and well-being is lead
ing you to substitute the worship of man
on earth for the worship of God in
heaven. You act on the assumption that
to love your neighbor as yourself is the.
whole of religion. But neighborliness
contents itself with the best use of our
present world, whereas religion aims at
transcending and surprising it. |

religion which America has never had.

The various church organizations of Redwood
Falls have united to make Thursday of each week
Church Day., when all the midweek services,
the choir practices and the board meetings will
be held With all the church meetings scheduled
for this one day other organizations will arrange
their programs in such a manner not to con-
fiict with the church meetings. The idea is q
good and could well be adopted in every city
the size of Redwood Falls. It might be wise to
extend the plan just little farther and have a
city committee who would pass on various dates
asked for in advance. City folks imagine tina,
there is nothing going in little cities like Red
wood Falls and Window but the fact of the mat
ter is that there is absolutely too much going on
ii one wishes to support the various organizations
Some such committee suggested above could
at least provide that there should not be conflict
ing entertainment dates.-Windom Citizen.
