VIRGINIA

Do you want something more
than smart seashore resorts and
beautiful scenery for your vaca-
ton land, desirable as such things
are?
Well, then, Virginia is the place
for you, the ideal holiday center.
Where else will you find such
gracious towns, such historic
homes, such atmosphere as in the
tidewater region, that lovely play
ground traversed by four tribu-
tarieS of the Chesapeake - the
Potomac, the Rappahannock, the
York and the James rivers?
Williamsburg is ever becoming
more popular with tourists, and
the benificence of j. D. Rookie
feller, jr., in restoring the historic
homes, public buildings and gar
denS to their appearance as they
were in Colonial times, has at
tracted people from everywhere.
WILLIAMSBURG
Williamsburg is not a museum
of historic relics, but living Colo
nial city with homes, buildings
and gardens in actual use.
Then there is Wakefield, the
birthplace of George washington,
which is maintained as national
shrine. Jamestown, too, has much
to offer the traveller in search OF
beauty and atmosphere, as well as
just vacation spots.
Nearby is Colonial National
Park, connecting Jamestown, Will
liamSburg and the battlefields
around Yorktown by a broad
boulevard.

Early Action Needed

President Roosevelt has signed the District appropria
tion bill for the coming fiscal year.
It is to be hoped that he will speedily set in motion
the machinery provided by that bill for the scientific
determination of the amount which the Federal Govern
men should pay for the support of its National Capital
While the bill does not require report on the in
UestigatiOn UItich the President is authorized to
make until Congress recOnUeneS in January, Ut Is
hi0Lu inpOrtant that some indication be giUen as
soon as possible as to- the Which the iUeSti
cation WW take.
Within few weeks now the District Commissioners
will start work on the budget which will be submitted
to Congress in January.
They will receive estimates and requests from their
departmental officials and will in turn submit these to
the Bureau of the Budget which will include them,
portions of them in the budget to be submitted on the
reconvening of Congress-
IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE THE COM
MISSIONERS ESTIMATES A REAL BASIS FOR
THE NEW BUDGET UNLESS AND UNTIL THEY
ARE GIVEN SOME IDEA OF HOW THE FISCAL
RELATIONS PROBLEM IS TO BE WORKED OUT
The appropriations which they will recommend depend
for their reasonabeness the amount Of money which
the District will have to spend.
The Commissioners can estimate part OF this expend-
able amount by figuring their income from taxes.
But there is matter of millions Of dollars which
will be in doubt until the Presidents report on the Fed
eral share is available.
IN THE INTEREST, THEREFORE, OF PREP
ARATION OF A BALANCED AND SATISFACTORY
BUDGET FOR THE DISTRICT, IT IS IMPORTANT
THAT LIGHT BE SHED ON THIS SUBJECT AT AS
EARLY A DATE AS POSSIBLE
While the report on the Federal share is to be made
TO Congress there could be little any objection to the
Presidents letting the Commissioners and the Bureau
of the Budget know what the report will recommend
early enough to permit them to do real job of budget
ing the Capital.

Now that we have done our
duty and paid our respects to
some of the historic spots Of the
Dominion State, let's see what IS
doing at the vacation spots OF
the more conventional kind.
VIRGINIA BEACH
Well begin our tour at Vir..
ginia Beach, a resort that Is taSt
growing in popularity.
We always enjoy the dunes at
Virginia Beach; sliding down
from the top of dune is a real
thrill. The beach itself is gay
with it's fine hotels and all the
amenities of a smart resort.
A network of trails radiating
from Virginia Beach leads
through miles Of fragrant pine
woods and over numerous small
forest streams.
Old Point Comfort is a popular
shore resort that is attracting
new travellers. So is ocean View,
Norfolk's beach resort, with its
gay cabanaS and striped sun UNI
brellas dotting the shining beach.
Near Norfolk is what is said to
be the oldest house in Virginia.
Built in 1885 of brick brought
over from England, it proves a
delight to everyone who visits it.
For ourselves, we are fasci-
mated by the fine, unpainted red
pine wainscoting that reaches
from floor to ceiling, and even
the incest. newest hotel suite
doesn't seem right after the
Adam Thoroughbred house, built
three centuries ago.

I don't like kneeling. It makes
my knees ache. Second place, I
don't feel like kneeling. If I re-
spect God. guess He knows it
without my going through painful
gymnastics. Besides, I feel too
close to Him for this kneeling
business, except as a public ritual.
And I'm too busy. I can't stop
and kneel if I'm rushing along
Main Street at 80 miles an hour,
which I usually am. Or in the
middle Of a bawling out from my
boss. I can only flag the Big

WANT AN ALIBI
I'll freely confess I've done lot
of dumb praying in my day. I've
yelled at God and ordered Him
around until I wonder He didn't
smack me down. Worst Of all,
I've asked His help. Begged and
beseeched Him for His help.
Grovelled and snivelled, coaxed
and cajoled Him, trying to get His
help. Which, if God has a mite
of sense is just about the worst
insult you could hand Him.
For why should we act as if God
were an old Meanie who has to
be flattered and worked? SuS,
pect it's because we want an alibi,
If we ask God to help us and tell
Him how and He then doesn't
come across, why the painful con-
sequences are His fault, not ours.
Nice little racket to work on the
Almighty!
God doesn't need to be coaxed.
Like any intelligent, loving pa
rent, our health and happiness is
more important to Him than it is
to ourselves. He wants us to be
helped. He has placed the means
of our helping all around us =. .
in the beauty and treasure OF the
earth, in the resourcefulneSs Of
our own brains and the Stiffening
of our own spines. It's all there.
all the time, for us to use If well
only accept it.
So I no longer ask God to help
me. ask Him to give me the
spunk and sense to accept help
to snap out of my fear and
self pity, my selfiShness and lazi.

the appendix OF Speaker Bankhead
the Record with pages upon pages
of what they did in this session.
They count it a sure vote getter'
It is mailed free.
Some of them still have a
chance to report on their steward
ship. The last issue of the Con-
gressional Record for the Seventy
fourth Congress is waiting for
them. 1t will be published not later
than July 9, and then look out.
Speaker William B. Bankhead
started it off with:
"Mr. Speaker, we are ap-
preaching the final meeting Of
the .Seventy-fOurth Congress
and the time when most Of
us must go before the electO-
rate to be judged on the rec
ord we have made as members
of this body"
Thereafter followed three and
a fourth pages finishing with:
"ThiS work of this Congress
has been memorable and his
toric and it is my honest con-
victiOn that in the years to
come the members of this body
may look back with keen salts
faction upon the fact that they
were members of the Congress
which helped to vindicate the
processes of democratic govern
ment in this country"
OF course, while they all were
more or less proud of being in
this Congress there were quite a
few who weren't proud of it tor
the reasons Speaker Bankheao
mentioned.
Take Representative Clifford R
Hope, a Kansas Republican. He
thinks the folks back home
should look little further back
than the three long years.
Says he:
"Mr. Speaker, so much has
been written and spoken con-
cerning the emergency agricul-
tural legislation enacted during
the past three years, some OF
which has been declared un-
constitutional and some of
which has been repealed, that
there may be a tendency to
overlook the constructive and
permanent legislation enacted
for agriculture by the Repub-

attempted partition of China.
Mussolini is keen about the
Italian birth rate. He has the
idea that a nation will continue
to grow only as its numbers in
crease, and to help such an in
crease colonies are needed, such
as Ethiopia. II Duce is turning
his attention to Europe and is re-
ported to be backing the return
of the Hapsburgs to the throne of
Austria, in the person Of young
Prince Otto, son of the Italian
born Empress Zita.
England is not at all pleased
with the muddlesome foreign pol
icy which left her somewhat out
on the limb when Badoglio ran
through Ethiopia despite the
League of Nations and despite
the predictions Of English mill
tary men that it would take
years for an Italian entry into
Adds Ababa.
PARTICULAR NOTICE
Things are not so pleasant in
Asia and Europe. This gets me
to thinking that perhaps good
deal of thought inspired those
planks in the Republican plat
form which deal with isolation
and efforts to collect the war
debts.
When some of us out at Cleve-
land lifted our eyebrows and re-
marked that it appeared some

and Purpose behind us. "a God
of infinite wisdom and beauty.
Not just an abstract force. A per-
Sonal God who found delight for
Himself in making violetS and SUM-
sets, babies and puppy dogs.
I admit I cannot understand
that God. He wouldn't be a god
if could. But I am sure as I
am of any comfort in familiar
fact-as sure as I am that the
rose blooms outside my window
and my supper SINNERS on the
Stove-that God remembers me,
is near to me. loves me, is my ap'
proachable friend. And that every
thing I am and do is important
to Him.

And finally, I believe that the

were behind my makings are be,

And so he points with pride
for four pages and a half.
MORE POINTING
Then there are those who take
a little more personal view Of
the matter. Look at the state
ment of Representative John H.
Hoeppel, who got into trouble
over a West Point appointment.
Says Mr.. Hoeppel:
"Mr. Speaker, as it will be
physically impossible for me to
meet all of my constituents
during the ensuing campaign,
and as 1 consider that they
have a complete record of my
services as their representative,
I submit the following resume
of my activities as Representa-
tive of the Twelfth Congress
sional district of California
since 1882"
He did a thorough job-11 pages
in the Record on his accomplish
mentS with the conclusion:
'T fought with the liberals and
progressives in Congress for sub
stantial recovery legislation and
have been prosecuted because Of
nv activity in behalf of the COM
mon people. If reelected I will

BILE, the fullest measure of RELIEF

izens and a square deal to all"
SOME DIFFER
Differences of opinion will crop
up, however: -
Representative Eugene B. Grove
CD of Indiana, opens his short
remarks with this statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members
of the House: Today there is a
national income with which to
nav the national debt. Conf
dence has replaced fear in three
short years."
Representative John B. Hollis
ter, (RO, Ohio, who follows right
behind Representative Grove on
the next page, says in concluding
HIS outburst:
"TheSe facts are being called
to YOUR attention, not with any
desire to cause unnecessary
alarm, but to point out the very
grave danger in the financing
of continuing budgetary def
cts through the sale Of Govern
ment obligations to the banks.
The one sure cure is the ceSSa-
ton of wasteful expenditures
and the early balancing of the
budget"
INCLUSIVE
Just to keep it all straight, Rep
resentative John j. Cochran
Missouri, got permission from the
House right before it adjourned
to print in the Record the address
of the keynoter of the Democratic
convention, the address Of the
permanent chairman and the ad-
dress "of the man who will re-
ceive the nomination at that con-
vention and be elected President
