Where to Spend the Weekend !
Scenic River
View Lures
Tourists

Scenic River View, natures
beauty spot in the renowned Val
ley of Virginia, four miles west Of
Luray, three miles west of the far
famed Luray CavernS and 81 miles
from the National Capital, offers
exceptional opportunities for those
seeking quietude and who enjoy
life in the great outdoors.
Situated on the bank Of the
Shenandoah River Daughter Of
the Stars, under the shadow of
the MaSsanutten Mountain Great
Oblong Basket, amid an entranc-
ing landscape, River View offers
ideal advantages for rest and rec
reation, eight-tenthS of a mile
north of Lee Highway, on a level
gravel road, only a short distance
from the Southern entrance to the
beautiful Skyline Drive.
The peculiar construction Of
the old mill dam which forms
a basin $50 feet by $50 feet, with
a depth varying from three feet
to seven feet, permits children
and adults to battle with absolute
safety in the Shenandoah River.
A bath house is provided for the
convenience of all bathers. There
is also a large dance floor.
Boats can be obtained, and a
mile of placid water surrounded
by beautiful scenery makes a ride
on the Shenandoah enjoyable.

PROPAGANDA

MOSCOW, Aug. 2 0.N.S).
1nstructinos to young Communists
Of all countries to join the regular
youth organizations of all politi-
cal parties-including the Fascist
party-were voted today by the
congress of the Communist Inter
national.
The congress also instructed
young Reds to ally themselves
with trade unions, sport and even
religious organizations, for the
PURPOSE of carrying on within
these bodies systematic struggle
ITO mobilize youth against military
enlistment and labor camps"
The instructions we're contained
m a formal resolution accepting
q report of the Communist Inter
national executive committee de-
livered by William PECK, German
delegate, in which directions are
given to Communist parties in all
countries as to what work to per-
form.
The resolution directs the
executive committee to compel"
Komsomols- Communist sympa-
thizers between 16 and 23-to
join Bourgeois and Democratic"
organizations and agitate for bet
ter material conditions among
the children of workers and
attempt by all means to establish
a united front of all anti-fascist
organizations.
The congress urged the execu-
tive committee to organize
trained groups and "give efficient
help to national Communist
parties in their theological strug-
gle against enemies" and to con-
tinue attempts to cooperate with
social Democrat workmen despite
the refusal of collaboration by
the second international.

More About That
OId-Fdshioned Home

To the Editor of The Times:
Did the women OF long ago
really hold their husbands love?
Please have some one write an
article on why the husband OF
long ago and today also neglects
his family and home for his liquor
and beer drinking. Some men I
know of in the old days as well as
today will spend their last cent for
drink and let their family go
in need. Some wives of today
would give anything just to have a
husband that would stay home
and take an interest in his family.
Instead he stays out drinking and
running around while she waits at
home keeping his dinner warm and
waiting for him and then, maybe,
he shows up at IL o'clock and
maybe not at all, and gets very
angry and upset when asked where
he has been so long and why. The
remains of the evening meal are
spoiled.
In the days of old why did
women smoke pipes and be sup
posed to hold the love IF there is
such a thing) of their husbands,
while today some men smoke their
cigarettes, but if a woman (espe-
cially their wife, smokes they say
she is no good? Yet notice how
they always pick a no-good one in
more ways than one to run with
while the wife sits home and cares
for the family. A man of today
seems to think he can do anything
at all and his wife is supposed to
sit back and look on and forgive
and forget for the sake of his little
children.
But, remember, long ago a d.
vorce was considered a disgrace,
and nowadays if they don't get
along they just go their own way
and quit trying, for they know
nowadays divorce is an everyday
happening. But what of the little
children? Let's hear from some
young husbands why they prefer
wild girls and drinking in prefer
ence to their young wives that
stay at home, do all the work and
sew and really are interested in
their homes. Why does the huS-
band of today seem to tire of the

Legislation Process
In Reverse

To the Editor of The Times:
Will you please tell a poor dumb
woman what is the matter with
Congress? Formerly they wrote
their own bills and sent them to
the President for approval or
veto-now he sends them to Con-
gress. He also sends some of his
little brain trusters to see that
they get through as he wishes
them. If the present Congress is
not capable of performing it's
duties why not elect another one
or do away with them altogether.
Even Mr.. Hoover is to be pre-
ferred to what we have now!

Rioting also flared anew in

The mob then launched q de-

and the police fired again.
Finally Lees, in Self-defense,
according to the Cairo dispatch,
