all SO glad, and all wish her speedy
complete recovery.

SAYING IT IN PLAIN ENGLISH

In n recent Interview with the New
York Times. Alfred T. Smith shows
the difference between administration
of business affairs and government
affairs. TITS muck easier to run any
organization by common sense than II
is by law" says Mr.. Smith THE head
of d business makes up his mind TO do
something, He says. Go ahead ana
shoot, and the thing Is done. But It's
a very different thing In public office.
"A certain friend Of mine, employed
by big corporation. came up to
Albany while was Governor and put
up an entire building while the State
was digging foundations for one that
was absolutely needed to car:p on the
States business. Why was ulat2 Be-
cause every time he wanted to do
something he did not have TO send
over 10 the Attorney Generals office
to find out whether he had legal
right to do 1t. In business everyone
is working for the benefit Of the con-
Germ; there are no legislators of a
different party who selfishly retard
measures for improvement In order to
advance their own ends"
So long as public officials seek votes
and are responsible to no one, we shall
have waste and inefficiency when gov
eminent goes into business.
Progress is the result Of individual
genius and responsibility. America
has grown with maximum of bust
ness freedom and a minimum of gov
ernment.

Many American people have gone to
Europe In years gone by to witness

third day OF the month Is the date
set for the Ladies' Guild Of the Island
Community Church to hold Its bazaar.
News was received here Of the death
of Rev. F. F. Green, Sunday, ut his
home in Aberdeen, Washington. Rev.
and Mrs. Green lived In Burton part
of the year, 1923, coming here for his
health, which improved for some
time, due to change of climate, and
the buoyant fact that they were con-
stantly adding new friends to their
lorg list of friendships which in
creased as they moved among the
people. A letter of sympathy and
flowers were sent to Mrs. Green by
Burton friends Tuesday.
The Boy Scouts are having a paper

ing so fine, in sending in reports of
their doings that all we need do is to
stand BY and feel sure the hap
penings will be duly reported.

Editorial
TO THE ISLAND CHURCHES

The report comes to us repeated
ly that the Island Community
Church complains that the News
Record discrimiaates against them
In the matter of publicity given
their church.
It Is true that due to the ex-
cessive number of pages of church
notes sent in by this particular
church we have been forced to
condense the matter, not only
giving of space but of time.
We would do this same thing,
no matter what the denomination.
Our space is limited, so when one
church asks for an unreasonable
amount of space we are forced to
refuse the request.
The space given to the church
is given freely, without money
and without price,. In the twenty
some papers on our exchange list
there is not one that gives as many
inches of space as does the News
Record. In fact many papers fol-
low the rule OF charging a certain
rate for church notices.
1t is necessary for us to call
the attention Of all churches to
the fact that we are here to serve
all parts of the Island equally,
and cannot give to one more than
another. The office of the news
paper is to announce those things
which can be regarded as news,
not to spread denominationalism
nor modernistic propaganda.
Last spring, on account OF thve
abuse of the privilege Of free
space accorded to the churches, we
were forced to make the ruling
chat standing aotices only could
be accepted. We hope that 1t will
not be necessary to do this again.
We consider the churches the
greatest asset of the Island and
wish to cooperate with them. AT
some distant date, when we can
publish twelve page paper we ara
going To devote one whole page to
the churches exclusively, but until
that happy day arrives please make
your notes as brief as possible,
remembering that we have eleven
church organizations, all with
equal claim to the paper.

WHAT PRICE A FIRE TRUCK

We are confronted with the big
question, What price a fire.
truckp, While the lack of an or
ganized fire department in Vashon,
where the truck is located, result
ed in failure to answer call, 1t is
not entirely fair that the work
should have been delegated to that
village alone.
AS conditions now are the Cir
cumstances preventing the trucks
reeching the recent fire happened
to be well-nigh unavoidable; how
ever, had there been some systema-
tic organization, with other parts
of the Island equally responsible,
it need not have occurred.
The idea of the fire truck was
sold to the Island by the argument
that it was not for Vashon, but

fighting organizationl
Eleven years ago next Monday
the world emerged from welter
OF blood, to confront the biggest
period of adjustment In history.
Just what II all means will not be
fully realized In our lifetime,it will
take The perspective of u century
to piece together the puzzle, and
not doubt our childrens' children
will get a ierger glimpse, than we
vino are helping to solve the prob
lens 1t has presented.
In the meantime, however, II is
necessary fer us to work out our
dastinies, not alcne for the gener-
ations to come, but for our own
safety. The children Of today, to
whom the World War is merely a
page in history, need to be taught
the realization Of the sacrifice that
was made, but not that alone, they
must be made to comprehend that
preparedness is essential not alone
in national affairs, but in social
and spiritual as we'll.
If, God forbid. another war
should come, to devour these chill
dren growing up today, will its
aftermath find a people unpre-
pared to meet great emotional
crisis, or will the children we are
rearing be quicker to adjust them
selves than our generation?
We feel 1t would. Dur children
are more daring, they are meeting
life with few illusions, they some-
times shock the older ones of us,

trict In his hand. that Johnny Curry
was political timber. He has been In
politics ever since, always IN the up
and-up.
High Record Of Loyalty
Tor the past IL years he has filled a
position that was created for him. and
which he will continue to hold.
Asked If it was possible to be In
! politics and stay honest, he replied:
You can ask anyone in my district
| about my loyalty. They will tell you
l have been loyal. They will tell you
that I have worked. When / think
I am right. I never let go. # I we're
to give any advice to young people
today. I should say-'Bc honcst and
| perseyerc." That's the only way !
know to succeed.
Tia, Many Duties
Though a mai of limited school
ing, Curry has seen to 1t that his
own children stay in school. Three Of
his SONS and his daughters have fin
ished college; one son Is in prep
school.
Certainly l believe that every man.
and every " mai should be educated.
/ believe / could have gone further
and been more useful with more edu.
cation. It's the best asset a young
man can have today"
What does tn, leader Of Tanlmany
do? everything Curry replied.
Then. considering a moment, he be-
came moro specific. Most requests
are for cmployment-not political
jobs, but any sort of jobs that pay
rent and buy food. Our headquarters
Is an employment agency and a bu-
reau Of universal advice and help"
Aids People Of District
It always has been a matter of
pride with Curry that he could "get
the boys out of trouble" No man In
his district. he says. ever has been
elected from his home, or his chattels
put on the sidewalk. He also states
that his district is the only n In
| New York that has no night club or
cabaret.
With his rising power, Curry al
ways has kept in close touch with
the people Of his district-the Fifth.
They say he still climbs dark stairs
and does something about it when
the family on the fifth floor are out
Of coal. They say that no other dis
trict Of the Tamn1any organization
ever has stood SO solidly behind its
leader.
Curry is not q rich man, and could
not possibly retire on what he has.
He lives in an average New York
home, and spends his summers at
Manhattan Beach where he loves to
swim and fish-these are his favorite
sports. He likes to watch baseball
and sometimes goes to- games with
Mayor Jimmy Walker.
