our hearthstones are clouded by mis-

such times against what appears like
an inequitable and ungenerous distribu-

we could recover those great qualities of
the soul that for long period we have
neglected and forgotten, we would do
more to bring back days of happiness,
plenty and peace. than all the schemes
that have been devised and all the intri-
cate machinery that has been set up

shall best express our thankfulness by
renewing our pledge to those principles

reaus and administrations until the
accommodations now available, tempo

No one can tell when. If ever, the roster
of the Government service will be sub
stantially diminished. Experience in
dicates that five years from now there
will be as many Government workers
engaged in Washington as at present,
if not more.
Opportunity is afforded by the exis-

fund to carry on this interrupted task
of providing for the Governments needs.
Every structure added to the program
that is in course of present execution
will serve the specific purpose of that
fund-to spread employment throughout
the country and to stimulate industry.
From eighty to eighty-f1ve per cent of
the constructions, on the basis of ex-

Thou shalt remember all the way
which the Lord, they God, led thee"

"Thou shalt remember all the way
which the Lord, they God, led thee"
With these words a great leader re-
minded his people of the strange and
difficult ways by which they had been
led through repeated crises in their
life. There had been successes and
failures, triumphs and defeats, days of
plenty and days of privation, splendid
advances and long periods of stagnation.
In any survey of their life, the leader
admonisheS them to reckon with the
their appraisal to realize the unfailing
leadership of God. Where they had
halted and failed was in the day of
their ingratitude, when they trusted in
their own strength: where they had
made progress and succeeded was in the
day of recognition of divine leadership
and obedience to Gods will.
This ancient story Is repeated again
and again in the course of history. The
rise and fall of races and peoples have
been marked by periods of consistent
recognition Of Gods purpose and de-
signs on the one hand, and by willful
neglect and an excess of self-confldence
and apostaSy on the other. There are
always those who deny such an evalua-
ton of human events and we have the

Arlington County Development

Arlington County's approval by a
large majority of the voters of the two
and-a-half- -million-dollar sewer de-
velopment program is interesting in
more ways than one to Washington. In
the first place, it represents the largest
single improvement ever undertaken by
the county and will naturally play an
important part in the development OF
this attractive suburban area. In the
second place, it is a direct and benefi-
eial contribution to the joint task OF all
citizens in this vicinity in the eventual
cleansing of the Potomac River and its
full utilization for recreation. Arllng'
ton County's sewer program includes
the construction of two modern dis
posal plants which will work in con-
function with the plant eventually to
be constructed for the District of Co
mmbia and end the dumping of raw
sewage into the river. In the third
place, the program itself contemplates
employment of about thousand men
for two years OF steady work, thus
eliminating a great part of the county's
unemployment problem and serving to
increase the purchasing power of the
county's laboring population.
The program, which is undertaken as
one of the Public Works Administra-
tion's jointly financed projects. con-
