Selected Poem
DEFENSE

DEFENSE Rsosalie D. Baeckstroem in the New York Tim@) Thin wood-smoke, and the black, star-sprinkled Pine-scented dark under the trees, and light That silhouettes figure in the door Showing the smoky beams and knotted floor Capture the subtle essence of this night And place, in one clear minute, that will hold Thin wood-smoke, and the black, star-sprinkled
 lake,
 And half-remembered incidents that make New patchwork of illusion with the old. The ranks of iron gods are closing in, And all our lances shatter on the sides Of @ machine gone mad; but he who rides Dressed in the checkered cloak of Harlequin May go unhurt and come to fight again On fields strewn with the bones of wiser men,

 Jeanne D'Arc
 Chaperoned by her father, her uncle, and 100 other oldsters, Q new Joan of Arc has come to Washington, flying the banners of reform. She has come not on Q white charger but in Q big auto- mobile, and the visions which this Joan sees are visions of 9200 Q month for every citizen over 60 years of age.
 She is 16-year-old LOIS JEANNE JOHNSON, who quit school to play the role of Joan of Arc of the Townsend m0ve- ment.
 It started last February in Los Angeles. She had come there from her home in SanDiego to address Q meeting of Townsend Club 93, the largest in the country. Shar- ing the spotlight with her was founder Townsend. After the show he asked her to continue speak. ing for the movement.
 When she talks, 1t is no Min- ute Girl address. She holds forth for an hour or an hour and c half. And her audiences range aS high as 14,O00.
 A trim little thing, only five feet tall, with pretty brown eyes and Q turned-up nose, she was first referred to as "the Sweet heart of the Townsend Move- nent." But when organizer J. w. Bridges dubbed her "the Joah of Arc" she admitted she liked that better. And the name has stuck.
 She is staying these nights in the Washington Auto Park with the other Townsend caravaners, preparing for more speaking this summer, and hoping that in the meantime the San Diego high school will grant diploma despite her truancy.

One street job that motorists will ap- preciate is the paving of the approaches to the new South Main street bridge near Washington avenue. Ever since the structure was opened to traffic last winter motorists have had to proceed pretty cautiously in getting across it, so badly rutted was the roadway leading up to each side of it. It's now taken care of and we can be thankful for that.
