and all individuals and organizations
are invited to adopt such measures as
they may deem necessary and advisable
for observing this week in the extern

Especially are governors OF states,
mayors of cities, the press, radio sta

asked to use their influence and power
for cooperation and to direct activities
of observance.
upon the ignorance of the individual
and the ignorance of society, due to
the secretiveness of this traffic; a Sc
cretiveness that has held back the
amazing facts.
A movement of fundamental impor-
lance has begun since the last obser-
vance of narcotic education week, in
establishing in New York, a committee
which is proving a marked success as
constructive experiment to bring to-
gether Federal, State and Municipal
officers and their STATS to ascertain
and organize narcotic drug addiction
facts.
The next step is to create similar
committees in other selected commun-
tiles across the continent and hope to
establish a control center in Washing
ton with a view to making a national
survey before July, 1881.
The hope and vision of these surveys
is that with facts established narcotic
education can be permanently organic
ed and conducted and society can safe
ly find wise public policies in processes
of law, processes of disqualification and
reclamation and all other processes for
it's safety against this universal mem

A WASHNGTON'S BIRTHDAY
THOUGHT

In paying tribute to George Wash
ington on his birthday anniversary,
it may be said that he had two quail
ties that are rarely combined in any
one person. These two traits were
inspirational power, and great thor
oughness and fidelity in detail. When
you get these two characteristics
working in one person, you usually
get large results.
Washington's army was consider
ed joke by the military leaders of
Europe. When his soldiers got tired
of fighting, or fearful of its dangers,
or worried about the home folks,
they laid down their guns and went
home. So he constantly had to drill
and inspire a band of raw soldiers.
Just as soon as he got bunch of
them up to the point where they
could do something, lot of them
would quit, and he would have to
begin his heart breaking task all
over again. It was Washington's in
spirational force that held this al
most hopeless army together.
And then all biographers agree on
the minuteness of detail with which
he did everything he touched. Things
were done so far as he did them, reg
ularly, faithfully, punctually. He
could be depended upon, and his
thoroughness had its effect even on
his irregular army.
Painstaking and methodical people
usually have no great power OF in
SEPARATION. They usually lack the fire
of enthusiasm, so that in spite of all
their very useful fidelity, they have
no great power of leadership.
The inspirational people are very
apt to lack system, thoroughness,
and power of efficient organization.
Though they rouse people to action,
they frequently find it impossible to
carry out their ideas.
But Washington combined these
and many other powers, which made
him one of the worlds great leaders,
and placed his name at the top of
our country's historical characters.
We all bow before his memory here
in Delaware.
Milford chronicle., 1930-02-21
THE CHARA TER OF WASHING

These are the days of the literary
"debunkers," who attempt to show
us how mistaken were many of the
old conceptions of history and his
torical characters. The career of
George Washington has been extern
sively examined by such writer's.
They feel that the hero worship of
former days fails to give true pic
ture of such men, and they attempt
to tell the story of their careers as
it actually was, giving a realistic
picture of their faults and mistakes
as we'll as their virtues and tri-
umphs.
So it is claimed in regard to the
great man commonly called the
Father of His Country, that he had
various habits considered as vices
now. Also his alleged mistakes are
pointed out. 1t is claimed he made
some serious plumbers as military
commander.
Such comments do not seem likely
to dim the reverence which our peo-
pie feel for his personality. He
shared the habits of his time, and
things regarded as harmful now
were considered unObjectionable
then. No doubt he made mistakes as
a commanding general. He had
never had training in warfare on any
considerable scale before, and he had
to learn by experiments, some of
which failed.
Washington's greatness was at its
peak in his work as leader of men.
He was not as much of a statesman
and constitutional thinker as some
other great men of that time, nor did
he take as large a part in framing
our system of government. He was
a great inspiring personality, who
took what without him would have
been an absolutely hopeless cause,
and made it successful, by the 10y
atty and confidence he inspired.
Had it not been for him, our cOun-
try might not have gained independ-
ence for many years. 1t might have
remained under Great Britain unto
this day. Whatever blessings have
followed the independent chance to
work out our own destiny, are due
very largely to him.
