TO SAIL THE BRINY DEEP

Beginning career on the high seas,
Mr.. Robert Barbour, o. Rock Point,
sailed from Baltimore this week as
member of the crew of the "San DOM
lingo" one of the large cargo vessels
of the United States Lines, for voy-
age through the Panama Canal to
ports along the Pacific Coast and re-
turned. 1t is estimated that the trip
will take about two months.
The youthful sailor, who is the Is
year old, son OF Mr. Guy Barbour,
well-known bus driver of the Tidewater
Line, is graduate of Glasya High
School, and one of the most popular
young men of the lower section of the
County. Like his father, who follow
ed the water for many years, Robert
has always cherished great fondness
for the sea, and although starting at
the bottom as seaman, we predict
that he will rapidly work his way to
the top. AT any rate, we join his many
friends in wishing him bon voyage
and good luck.

Holiday Trade and the Unemployed

NMl0neap0uS JOuT0aU
The short sighted suggestion Of the we'll meaning
Mayor Of q large Eastern city, bent on doing his bit for
the unemployed, merits discussion here, because 1t pos
sibly represents the viewpoint Of other well meaning but
The suggestion is that the giving of Christmas presents
be done away with this year, and that the money thus
saved to aid the needy.
The author Of the idea is probably not aware of 1t,
but the adoption Of his suggestion would make matters
worse. instead Of better. 1t would serve to prolons the
situation which 1t Is designed to ameliorate.
The needy are needy, because they are unemployed.
They are unemployed because there is not enough de-
nnand for the goods they might be producing. or the
services they might be performing. Every buyer OF
Christmas presents helps create demand, by removing
surplus commodities from store shelves. A Christmas

Jobs for numerous men and women now in want be-
cause long out Of work.
when you buy Christmas gifts, you help provide en-
ploynent for the clerks behind the counters, for the
janitors who clean stores, for the drivers who make de-
yards to downtown retailers. for the workers who unload
freight cars. for the engine ana train crews that op-
crate freight trains, for the yardmen who switch cars.
Tor the shopmen who keep rolling stock in shape. for
the factory workers who load freight, for the factory
workers who make goods, and for the miners who
produce the coal that turns factory wheels.
When you buy Christmas presents you help provide
employment. In turn. for all the men and women that

The Territory Of Alaska 10 sAll nearly Is isolated from

The only link the Alaskan has with this country Is still

d Is the
Anniversary of
SPINOZA's BIRTH

On Nov. "A, 1882, Benedict Spinoza,
q famous Dutch-Jew1sh philosopher,
was born at Amsterdam, the son Of q
Portuguese merchant who had fled
there to escape religious persecution.
Though a delicate child. Spinoza
studied diligently under rabbis. He
was later alienated from the ortho-
dox beliefs Of his religion and because
Of his heresies, was accommodated
from the synagogue.
After spending some time In exile
in abstruse and difficult studies he
brought out an abridgment Of. the
philosophical works Of Descartes.. He
was soon offered the chair Of philoso-
ply at Heidelberg and . pension II he
would dedicate his work to Louis XIV.
These he refused on the ground they
would endanger his independence and
integrity Of thought. He preferred.
instead, to live in poverty.
The nub Of 6pinoga philosophy II
this: Existence consists Of the mater
Iial world and thought. Each Of these
realms IS independent OF the Other.
Thought does not influence matter,
and matter does not influence
thought. Nevertheless, the move
ments Of one are parallel o. analogous
to the movements Of the other. and
the movements Of each depend on an
all pervading essence. which y equiv
alent to God.
