A BRIGHT SIGN IN MIDST OF
GLOOMY PICTURES
CBv BRUCE CATTON)

(By BRUCE CA1 IOND
You could work up quite nice little ar
grument, if you cared, by asking people 10
saw what is the most valuable thing Amer
lea produces.
There's wide field to pick FROM rms
country is workshop and granary for hail
the world-Or it used to be, anyway, De-
fore world trade went democratic-and 1t
can give you anything from autos to bran
mullins with the air of merchant who
handles nothing but the best.
But the things that are raised out OF the
ground or put together in factories are not
one-tenth as important to the country as
the people who do the growing and the
putting together.
If we are producing the right sort OF
young people, We don't need to worry
much about what farm and factory are pro-
ducing. That will take care of itsef-or,
to be more exact, the right sort OF young
people will take care of it.
Now all this was brought to mind by an
ordinary photograph in a newspaper; a
picture, if you want the details, OF Miss
Romayne Tate of Paragould, Ark, and Mr..
William Hamilton of Good Hope, HI.
Miss Tate and Mr. Hamilton seem to be
healthy youngsters in their teens, or there
:. abouts, and the picture showed them hold
ing two rather elaborate loving cups-the
President Roosevelt trophies awarded them
for outstanding achievements as All Club
members.
Since this world is sinful and human ma
ture is weak, the people who do things that
cause their picture to get printed in the pa
pers are not always representative of the
finest flowers of civilized society. An ordi-
nary days grist of pictures will include a
criminal or two, gowking movie actress,
some goof who is roller skating backward
from Hoboken to Pixies Peak, newly dis
covered society female, and handful OF
bed-sheeted Ethiopian soldiers carrying OBJ
sosete rifles wrong end to through the AT

@. Would not Detr0t coal deal-
ers and their employees be greatly
affected by the Introduction of Nh
tural Gas TO Detroit?
A. No, because Cd Natural Gas
would displace chiefly artificial
gas, butane and oil; CD Coal costs
are below the competing price
range OF Natural Gas and only
those would buy who are willing
TO pay for the increased conven-
fence and efficiency OF Natural Gas
and CD the use of Natural Gas in
new manufacturing processes
would encourage greater use Of

which Natural Gas would be too ex-
pensive.
z. Aside from the very great
savings 10 DetrOi. c0nsuiners anu
the additional employment that
would result from bringing Natur-
al Gas TO Detroit, can you cite 9TH
er important benefitsl
A. Yes, and they are SO numerous
as to require classification. Chiefly
a precious natural resource woul'
i, be conserved In the Southwest. de
enjoyment OF Michigan's natura
gags resources would be encourag
ed. additional agricultural incom,
would be provided, new taxable
values would be created for states
counties and the City of Detroit
and, last, but not least, a national
yard stick for measuring te price
at which natural gas can be sold
would be established.

NEW THREATS OF
PERSECUTION TO JEWS in
GERMANY

Press dispatches from Berlin
and other parts of Germany on
October IA stated that the Jews
were facing more serious perse-
cution than they have ever faced
yet in Germany. It now appears
that the German reich under the
guidance and direction Of Hitler
and his aids is going to deprive
the Jew in Germany of the right
to hold property except in desig-
mated areas. In short, the new
German proposals are merely a
step nearer to the establishment
of the medieval ghetto. 1t also
appears that it is the purpose of
the reich to eliminate the Jews
from more professions than from
which they already have been
barred. AS a result, Jews all over
Germany are frantically dispos-
ing of all property they possess,
not only real estate but also of
chattels, and the German market
has consequently been flooded
with real estate at terrifically low
prices, and the issuance of pass
ports and visas to foreign coun-
tries to Jews has risen steadily
during the last ten days. The ma
jority of these Jews are endeav-
oring to obtain entrance into
Palestine.
