Tn a small community such as
ours, the main organization is the
public school. Through the schools
the community is. closely connected.
The parents of the students should
thus have mutual interest in the
activities of the school.
I'm order to produce more interest
in the community, the schools put
on entertainments for the public.
And in return for the work done
bv the students, it should be the
duty of the public to attend the
entertainments prepared for them
and patronize the schools and their
cause.

Alsbald.

It may turn out that for little while
yesterday the peace of Europe, perhaps
Of the world, hung upon the meaning OF
a single word. In the course of COM
munications between Berlin and London
respecting the German demand that the
Fuehrer's peace proposals must be con-
sidered occurred the word "alsbald,"
which, according to the usual meaning,
signifies Immediately" or forthwith"
This peremptory note Of the requirement
was unacceptable to the French. There
was an anxious scanning of authorities.
It was found that in accordance with
strictly German usage the word meant
eat once" Then somebody discovered
that in Bavaria, where Herr Hitler
gained his Germanic usage, and in
Austria, where he was born, "alsbald"
meant "in due course" or presently"
It was concluded that the latter mean
ing must have been intended, and the
strain was eased.
The German-English dictionary by
Adler, published in this country in 1884,
gives the meaning Of "alsbald" as "di-

Roosevelt the Champion
Of the Common People
10 the EDITOR OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
Roosevelt, the Humane!" Regardless
of whatever else may be said for, or
against, Franklin D. Roosevelt, history
will record him as q man who loved his
fellow man, as q President who could not
and would not see ''the common people"
suffer for want of food, shelter or medi-
cal attention.
Such q record stamps him as a man
far ahead of a Mussolini, incomparably
greater than a Hitler. They deliberately
sacrificed lives which Almighty God had
permitted to come into the world, while
Roosevelt risked reelection, the approval
of the so-called higher element" that
the lives of common people" their chill
dren-aye, their babes-might be pre-
served.
Abraham Lincoln said. "God must have
loved common people, He made SO many
of them!" Let us all give to Franklin
D. Roosevelt, regardless of our opinion
on other subjects, our open admiration
for his love of his fellow man and his
courage in living up to such convictions,
risking as he did, the cenSure and the
opposition of those who, well fixed in
this worlds goods and powerful In many
WAYS, looked askance at his course.

For the Heroes of Peace.

The Post Office Department, it has
been announced, soon will issue a series
Of stamps in homage to the memory of
eminent military and naval heroes of the
United States. President Roosevelt, him
self an ardent philatelist, is the sponsor
Of the plan. But as yet there has been
no decision as to what characters are
to be commemorated. Indeed, the prob
lem Of selecting "the best Army and
Navy leaders" to be honored is proving
exceedingly difficult of solution.
Meanwhile, the stamp collectors of the
Nation who will buy and pay for ap-
proximately million dollars worth of
the proposed adhesives are asking: Why
not pay tribute to the heroes of peace?
They, Of course, have no objection to
philatelic recognition Of such celebrated
persons as John Paul Jones, Commodore
John Barry. Admiral George Dewey,
General Robert e. Lee, General Stone
wall" jackson and General Phil Sheri-
dan, all Of whom are understood to be
under consideration; but they believe
that there are other claims equally valid.
Last year, for example, Postmaster
General James A. Farley was petitioned
by literally thousands Of citizens-both
collectors and non n-collectors-to author.
ize q stamp for the centenary Of the
birth Of Mark Twain, greatest of Amer
lean humorists. The appeal was denied.

the gallant French ally who still remains
unappreciated by department officials
who have approved philatelic laurels for
his contemporaries. Rochambeau, De
Grasse, Kosciusko, Pulaski and Won
Steuben.
The collectors, however, are not in
organized opposition to any choice the
department may wish to make. On the
contrary. they purchase stamps without
much regard to subject material. If
Mr.. Farley wished to commemorate the
Democratic donkey, they would spend
their money for the issue in much the
same manner as they did for his N. r. A.
and Byrd Expedition novelties and for
his much-debated reprints. But the
question remains: Why not grant recog-
milton to some of the peace-time heroes,
men and women who served ideal ends
quite as truly as soldiers and sailors
have? A proposed list includes: Ralph
Waldo Emerson, Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow, Henry D. Thoreau, Walt
Whitman, Edgar Allan Poe, Francis Scott
Key, Stephen Collins Foster, Harriet
Beecher Stowe, Louisa May Alcott, Clara
Barton, Susan B. Anthony, Jane Addams,
Thomas A. Edison and viii Rogers.
