| W t her. he President Roosevelt
knows that moving the inaugura-
ton up month or so from March
4 to January 20 means in all
probability that the ceremony
will be held right in the middle
of a wet, cold sleet storm or after
a heavy snowfall.
Taking this into consideration,
the Chief Executive is adamant
against letting any OFFICIAL cele-
bration of his Inauguration get
out of hand.
He will not countenance a
parade to last over one hour and
a half or two hours. He demands
that the stands to be built shall
be glass inclosed all around, in the
back as we'll as the front.
He is reminded that severe cases
of pneumonia have developed
among the officials of the Federal
Government in the past when they
stood out in the wet and cold that
gripped the city even as late as
March 4.
His real feelings in the matter,
/ have been informed, is that he
has no intention of putting a
damper on anyone coming to
Washington that wants to.
In fact, he is human and right
well pleased that so many people
do want to celebrate his induction
into office. But, he is not going
to start the ball rolling toward an
affair that would produce
parade so long the visitors would
have to stand in the cold for half
a day or more.
He is not going to let the thing
get away from him by appointing
a man as chairman who will be so
carried away with so much enthu-
SiaSm that he would have official
Washington marching and review
ing all hours of the day.
And just to show that he is
smart enough to realize that de-
spite his objections, if he appointed
a chairman of the inaugural COM
mittee now, the said chairman
would have two months in which
to think it over; two months in
which to add a little to the pro-
gram here and little more there.
The President is not going to ap-
point his chairman until Decem-
Der IA or Is.

QUEBEC

A previous article described the
GaSpe peninsula and gave a brief
account of the run from Quebec
to Riviere du Loup, distance of
about 130 miles along the ribbon
like Perron boulevard, past de-
lightful little villages and fishing
hamlets that seem as though they
were still in Eighteenth century
France. Now for the rest of our
run from Riviere du Loup to
GaSpe itself.
RIVIERE DU LOUP
Riviere du Loup is a bustling,
flourishing place and there are
shops there where those who live
in the ornate villas and large es-
tates at Pointe RiViere du Loup,
get their supplies. There is a ferry
that links up the north and south
shores of the St. Lawrence River.
Perhaps you will linger little
at Riviere du Loup, for it is the
last busy, modern place you will
find. Maybe there will be little
resort towns or villages, but these
will be simple, almost primitive
places, where old clothes and sim
pie living will rule. But you will
get delicious food, wherever you
may chance to stay while.
If you like the tangy smell of
seaweed and iodine, then you will
sniff contentedly as you pass
fields where the seaweed is dry
ing in the sun. You will pass
huge cliffs, rocks with fantastic
shapes and waterfalls. Th e
scenery is always changing, al
ways beautiful.
One of the landmarks along the
route is the church of Sainte
Anne des Monts.
It stands high on hill at the
end Of a road that hugs the
shore for some hundred miles.

In this connection we are oblig-
ing the Colonel by printing, on his
special request, four dates which
seem to interest so many people
that his office has been deluged
with queries about them.
Dates to be remembered:
December IA, electoral college

January 5, Congress cOnvenes.
January 6, the electoral votes

January 20, the Inauguration

WHEN YOU CAN'T SAY "NO!"-?

HEN 1OO NEAAN SAA wv
though as this statement may
seem, there's reason.
Human life is a mighty serious
affair. It may be splendid privi-
lege-or a supreme pain-in-the-
neck. That depends on how it's
lived.
Man, alone of all the animals,
has the power to chart his life,
decide his course, be master of
his fate" His life is largely what
he makes it. It may be a heaven
or hell-to himself and those with
whom he associates. That's up to
him-and to his ability to say
NO.
The ability to say NO is the
fundamental test of your rating as
a human being. your value as a
citizen. your dependability as a
mate or neighbor.
You have rights only when and
if you earn them-and only as
long as you protect them.
WHOSE FAULT
You'll receive respect only to the
extent that you command it-and
show it for yourself. If you won't
protect your own person or posses
sions, nobody else will-or should.
And that goes for all of us under
all conditions. It applies as surely
to intimate contacts in the home
as to the casual dealings between
strangers.
No possible relationship absolves
or exempts you from the RESPONSE
bility of protecting your own rights
or makes that protection the
other fellows affair-unless you
happen to be an infant or idiot.

Merit in Government

Conferences which have been held at the White House
since President Roosevets reelection indicate that at
last the Chief Executive is getting around to the crying
need for extending the Civil Service and with the merit
system to all Government agencies.
Word which comes from these conferences is quite
naturally informal and leaves doubt to the steps
which to be taken to carry out of the Presidents
campaign pledges
THE MERE FACT THAT THE CONFERENCES
HAVE BEEN HELD, HOWEVER, is INDICATIVE
THAT ACTION CAN BE LOOKED FOR SHORTLY
AFTER THE NEW CONGRESS CONVENES IN JAN
UARY.
1t is encouraging that from all indications the
President and his advisors on the merit system are
preparing plans for putting the system into effect

Apparently every effort will be made to the jobs

and able to hold their positions.
That is as it should be.
It not the fault of these men and women that they
came to Washington to take jobs in the hastily thrown
together emergency agencies
They came here believing that they had opportu-

DATE INTENDS TO APPLY TO GOVERNMENT

With the status of these employees defined and pro-

in wholesale discharges in order to shrink the Govern

MANAGEMENT WOULD DICTATE, REGARDLESS
OF WHAT ECONOMIES THE ADMINISTRATION

FOUR YEARS.
Whatever changes in the setup of the Government the
President may have in mind for his second term should
be carried out with as little possible hardship upon
Government employees.
With the prospect that there will be considerable
realgnmen of agencies result Of the current reor
ganzation studies attention should be given lmmed

A wholesome respect for Stanley
Wooderson, bespectacled little English
miller, who beat him twice last year,
might have Influenced Lovelock to fall
back on the distance at which he was
unbeatable during his college days in
New Zealand. After watching Wood
erson virtually loaf through 4:1645
mile early in June, Lovelock said: 1T
seems impossible that anybody can
beat him in the Olympics. Why, he
didn't even start running until the last
lap"
While Lovelock is in the habit of
fattering his opponents just before
he leads them out on the cinders for a
good beating, he has real reason to
doubt his chances against Wooderson.
He is the one miller he hasn't been able
to head off nor stay with in finish
ing sprint. Their mile duel will be the

nothing whatever to do with the Olym-

Only Part of the Answer.

THERE must be an answer. But
= no one has found it yet. After
the Max Baer-Schmeling fight I
asked Baer about Schmeling's right.
Baer laughed. I'm no boxer" he
said. Il never pretended to be. But
he wouldn't hit me good punch with
that right hand in two weeks. I'm
still not that bad. He hasn't any left
and he telegraphs his right. You
can always see it coming, I'm not
any too fast. but how can you hit a
fellow with a punch like that?"
You can call it overcon1dence. But
Louis had been tagged with five of
those rights before the sixth dropped
him. And slow motion pictures Of
the punch that dropped him show a
right hand travelling over two feet
with the Louis left guard still lower
and never lifted.
The only answer involves
some form Of foggy mental
attitude carelessness - conceit
that no one may ever explain.
For don't forget this was the same
punch that never reached Max Baer
or bothered Jack Sharkey. And Car
nera knocked Shsrkey out with the
punch that Schmeling couldn't de-
liver.
If there should be any trouble in
raising enough funds. the United
States Olympic Committee might take
a chance and send Jesse Owens over
alone. He comes closer to being a
one-man track than any one in sight.
The only point Owens has to watch
