w. G.. II. u. NOTES

A Radio Broadcast on Memorial
Day of particular interest to Peace
Lovers (and this surely includes the
great majority of our citizens) may
have been heard by millions as it
was sent out over the Columbia
System at 4:45 Eastern Standard
time. The program was put on by
the National Committee on the
Cause and Cure of War and was par
ticipated in by Miss Josephine
Schain, Chairman of the Committee,
and two of her associates with dis
cussion of "A New Meaning For
Memorial Day" They suggested that
Memorial Day of 1886 be not only
in remembrance of those men who
died in an effort to bring permanent
peace to the World, but that it be
challenge to complete the task to
which they set themselves.
War has always been the greatest
handicap to the progress of the hui
man race. 1t will never end until
men and women recognize this and
courageously and sanely set them
selves to abolish it.
The Nations of the World are Or
ganiZed for peace but the organiza-
ton is far from perfect and perhaps
needs to be entirely reorganized but
it is the only method by which Sc
curity can be assured without war
Let us not forget that our United
States had a very severe test and
came very near not being a United
States but fortunately was all bound
together again in an even stronger
union. Perhaps the League of Ma
tions may also come out much
strongr because of the difficult times
it is having.
Why this mad race in Armaments?
Is not our safest border that between
Canada and these states? What do
we mean when we demand ADEQUATE
national defense? Do we mean to
protect our own borders or to pro-
tect our investments abroad? These
questions are being studied by the
Cause and Cure of War groups all
over the United States.
Listen in on Monday, June 8th at
2:45 to 800 P. NJ Daylight Saving
time for Mrs. Ida B. Wise Smith
President of the National w. c. It.
u, on a Nation wide hook-up over
the Columbia System. WCAO, Bal
timore, and WCAU, Philadelphia,
should carry it.

an opportunity to see the stars fight

COMMENCEMENT

The sermon to the graduating
class will be delivered by Rev. Frank
White, Pastor of James NJ e. Church,
in the Methodist Church of Rising
Sun on Sunday morning, June 7th,
at II o'clock.
Glass night exercises of a new type
will be held in the Auditorium of the
High School on Tuesday night, June
9th, at 8 O'Clock. The graduating
class voted unanimously to have
exercises in the nature of class
! party. All the traditional features
of class night will be observed but
the exercises will be held only in the
presence of the class and faculty.
The class feels that this is their
night and that an audience being
present would detract from their en-
joyment of the exercises. The class
will not need to spend time memoriz-
ing parts at a time when they are
very busy. This type of exercises
will also make 1t unnecessary for the
members of the class to purchase adj
ditional' clothing for class night.
Graduating exercises will be held
In the High School Auditorium on
Thursday, June 18th, at s p M.
The speaker for these exercises will
be Rev. Park w. Huntington, Pas
