Ruling "Breaks" The Colonels

The ruling of Kentuckey's attorney general that
the commissions Of all "Kentucky colonels automat
ically expire with the term of the governor who is
sued them has rudely upset the belief of holders Of
such commissions that they had been commissioned
for life. Their only status now is that of Kentucky
ex-coloneP.
Whether there will be any more Kentucky colon
els rests with the present and future governors of
the Blue Grass state Once native Kentuckians took
great pride in being so commissioned by governor,
and most Of those who received the honor up to the
term of Gov. Ruby Laffoon, got it reward for
some service.
But Governor Laffoon after taking office some
what lowered the standard of the honorary office by
commissioning 5000 "colonels most of them without
any real reason Whatsoever His rather proniscuous
commissioning of "coones" took a great deal of the
glory and honor away from the title
The feeling created by the wide of his author
iy in the matter may have had something to do with
the exploration of the Kentucky attorney general into
the legal status of the commissions But whatever
the cause he has put unceremonious ending to the
commissions of a lot of "colonels" (Arizona Repub-

A Thought For Easter

From the beginning Of time, men have hailed
the coming Of Spring the resurrection of the earth
from the death of Winter Long before the Christian
Era began, every religious cult celebrated in way
Or another the returning season of growth and
shine with it's promise of life beyond the grave If
the dead trees and grasses could demonstrate i'm
mortality, why should alone die to rise more?
In few days the whole Christian world will join
in testifying, on Easter Sunday to it's faith that
death is not the end that life goes forever in new
and unknown but more glorious forms that earth
bound plodders more imagine than can the
maple tree the wistaria, shedding it's scarlet robe
of Autumn under the killing breath of Winters frosts
imagine the glory Of the Sprngtime garments Of
green which it will wear in it's new life
The belief that this is true, that there is life be-
yond DEATH life Of release from toll and for
such truly believe and strive to live up to their
belief has been the most powerful force in the history
of our modern civilization. In this faith men have
found a common tie of mutual service for the COM
mon good All of the concepts Of duty honor sef-de
nal sefrespect and loyalty upon which great nations
have been founded derive from the faith which is the
very root and heart of Christianity.
Let no one say that the faith of our fathers is
Outmoded, that it longer has its old power to in
spire lives We living in troubous times, and
those of little faith are crying aloud that the old
truths have failed, the old beliefs dead But even
as they scoff Spring brings her perennial symbols
of the eternal life. And this coming Easter Sunday
millions upon millions of believers will meet to testify
to the truth that their faith is a living faith,
that it still rules the hearts of men.

The Red Cross On The Job

Calamites such as the disastrous floods which
have swept the northeastern part of the United
States in the particular field in which the Ameri
Red Cross functions Hardly had the first news
of the first Of these flood disasters appeared in print
before the Red Cross on the job. It is an army
Of relief that is always mobilized
The duties of the Red Cross in emergencies like
this cover every of relieving human suffering
It provides shelter for the homeless It feeds the hun
cry It furnishes medical and nursing aid for the
sick 1t looks especially after the welfare of the child
victims of disaster 1t finds clothing for those who
need it, financial help to tide the crisis for those
whose resources have been suddenly swept away. 1t
fills place into which other agency quite fits in
spirit of helpfulness as broad and as free human
ity itself
To meet such calls, always sudden, the Red Cross
must keep it's resources for relief always liquid When
the need of its help covers such broad as the
present need does, it has to draw heavily upon it's
stores Of supplies and of cash. and to call upon all
men and of kindly spirit toward their fellow
beings in distress to contribute in money what all
cannot give in service The Red Cross is voluntary
organization. It's work in the field is almost entirely
done by unpaid workers. 1t has subsidy Or appro-
priation from the Government but carries entirely
by the aid Of contributions
The Red Cross is calling for contributions
to meet the cry for aid from the flood-stricken
gions It is the part Of good citizenship well of
goodwill toward those who suffer- for everybody to
respond to the call, and give all he can.

The Moeur Third Term

It is fact, lacking public confirmation by the
governor himself, that he will seek reelection to
third term. Governor Moeur has been reluctant to
seek another term, but the demand from all parts OF
the state has been so insistent that he will disregard
his personal incnatons and bow to the wishes Of the
majority.
No governor in Arizona, and perhaps in the Unit
ed States, has accomplished so much in so little time
Governor Moeur has reduced the state property tax
burden placed the state firm cash basis cleaned
up defunct banks, Strengthened out the mudded and
inefficient affairs of state institutions and reduced
the expense of state government.
No scandal, not even suspicion Of wrong doing
has touched a member Of the Moeur administration.
Honesty has been the keynote of the Moeur regime.
With this sterling record of achievement it is
easily understood why the voters are insisting that
Governor Moeur remain in the picture. (Mesa Jour

MASON JOINS WPA
 FEDERAL PROJECT
Prominent Theatrical Fig. ure Supervising Unit
 No. }

Miss Gertrude DonDero. state director of federal theater project, announced the appointment of Ho- mer D. Mason, for many years one of the foremost figures in American vaudeville as a performer, writer and director, to be supervisor of the vaudeville unit of the project. This unit is now in the process of forma- ton and Mir. Mason will open offi- ces at the Park theater, Bridgeport, where unit No. 3 of the statewide project will soon open with dra- lnatic stock.
 MT. Mason, 8 resident of West- port, for many years was the male member of the comedy team of Ma son 6s Keeler, favorite vaudeville entertainers of President Woodrow Wilson and one of the first Ameri- can variety acts to give 6 command performance before the late King George and Queen Mary of Eng land.
 Miss DonDero ct the same time toda:' stated taht i've are making every effort to unearth Connecticut playwrights and to urge them to submit produced or unproduced, published or unpublished manu. scripts" The state director pointed out that the theater project is de- signed to give new playwrights an opportunity as well as to place com petent actors and other stage people in employment.
 The project officials are particu- larly interested, she said, in plays which offer more than the con- ventional triangular effort in . rec tangular set"

Look who's coming again." mo- ted Nurse Kennedy, meaningly. "It's Asa Wyattl Looks to me as though you're going to need those baby scales sooner than you expected!"
 Asa Wyatt, whose brood of young sters, regularly augmented, had be- come 6 sort of symbol even in region where babies were part of the annual routine, came hurriedly aboard, calling, Doc! Hey, Doc!"
 Nurse Kennedy turned to Dr. Luke resignedly. "Well. I guess it's another Wyattl" she said quietly.
 "Impossiblel" spluttered the doc- tor. "Too soonl"
 Mot for herl" said Nurse Ken- nedy firmly.
 "Can you come now, Doc, right away2" implored Wyatt.
 Sure, sure, let's go!" reassured the doctor. And nurse, doctor and the distraught Wyatt descended the gangplank, to a chorus of catcalls and good -natured comment from the lumbermen on deck. Dr. Luke leaned toward Asa with quick reassurance. He whispered, Don't let anybody think they can tease you about babies, Asa. It's good to have babies, plenty of 'eni. Nothing sweeter in life than babies, and don't you forget it!"
 But even as they stood ct the gangplank, there was Q new diver- sion. Elbowing through the crowd, his face set and grim, came Mac Kenzie. Without Q word he pushed his way up the gangplank and into the cabin of the North Star" Men fell silent, the rough jokes and songs stopped, as he passed. There were few who in their hearts did not fear Mackenzie.
 "Whoever he's after, brother, I'm sorry for himl" whispered one. "Yehl I remember there was a fellow last fall Holy Mackerel, it's lis daushterl"
 The griIn-faced Mackenzie was | just emerging from the cabin and descending the gangplank, looking neither to right nor left. Behind him, her face averted in shame, her slender wrist locked in Mac- Kenzie's hairy fist, came his daugh. ter, Mary. A suitcase swunk In her free hand.
 The girl, her eyes glistening with tears, revealed all the fresh lowell. ness that Is 6 part of youth. She was obviously still in her teens. She hurried with uneven steps to keep pace with her fathers furious strides.
 Dead silence fell over the crowd on deck and on the dock, adding to the shame that colored her down. cast face. The story was as plain as if written out for ell to read. She .ad clearly been trying to leave Moosetown and her father, on the last boat Of the season to the ''cut- side."

 The "North Stars" whistle drew to the boat-landing everybody who could walk at all. Three or foui lumbermen on deck, all a little drunk, were working away at bar room harmony that was less accu. rate than heartfelt. Catcalls, whis. ties and boos greeted the effort.
 Constable ogden was there, his jaw doubly swollen by the recent tooth extraction and Q fresh quid of plug" He had Q couple of In. dians in tow, with claims against one of the iuimbermen leaving on the boat. Dr. Luke and Nurse Ken- nedy, intent on placing last-minute orders for precious medical supplies were at the purser's window.
 Bring us back some aspirin" re- minded Nurse Kennedy, running her finger down 8 long list.
 "How much'" inquired the pur- ser.
 About a bushel."
 And iodine ."
 How much?"
 "About Q gallon ."
 A lumberman elbowed his way up to Dr. Luke.

 Down into breehces pocket went e grimy hand, emerging with sever- al greasy bills, and Q handful oi small silver.
 "Fiye-sixty, five eighty-five, five- ninety-five, sixl" he counted as the coins dropped.
 "That all you got, sonP" inquired pr. Luke, with wry smile.
 The youth grinned. Just made 1t, didn't I, Doc?" he commented.
 With furtive look about him. OEs AukG pkGsoGa tsiS AhAVAASy SeseA ly into the grimy hand. Keep it, he whispered. You'll need 1t out. side Pay me next year." And suddenly the doctor had vanished into the crowd, leaving behind him on embarrassed youngster with fistful of coins.

 A chorus of good-natured hoots from the roistering lumbermen on deck drew their attention.
 "Hey, papap
 Come on, stork!"
 "Run out O names yet?"
 So the banter ran as a worried little man, anxious, humorless and distressed, came loping down to the gang-plank.

What EIas Happened Thus Far

DIR. JOHN LUKE country doctor in the little north woods settlement of MOOsetOwn, receives an emergency call to the lumber mill when MIKE SCANLAN, lumberman is crushed under fallen log. Both of Mikes legs are seriously injured.
 NURSE KENNEDY assists the doctor as Mike walls, q don't wanta live if you cut my legs of!"
 MO0setOwn is in state of excitement because the seasons work at the mill is ending. Next day the last boat south will depart taking the crew of ti- bermen home for the winter.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-02-25

What if Mikes pay for the season was scarcely enough to pay for his board and keep for the winter, let alone to pay pr. luke for saving his life and his legs? The radio would be there anyway. pr. Luke would be tho only one who could tell you how 1t got there. But it's not likely that he would.
 So by the following day, Mike Scanlan was as happy as a man wit. both legs in casts can be. He could hear the steamer whistle eachoing across the hills. For the river boat, Worth Star" waits for no man when she sails from Moose-

Mike Scanan didn't die Nor did he lose the sturdy legs that had meant living, life itself to him. Dr. Lukes practiced and sensitive fingers served for xray and Mike was soon encased in two muyke casts up to the hips Far into the night worked Dr. Luke to get Mike comfort ably installed in his boarding house.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-02-25

Dr. Luke, Nurse Kennedy, and Asa Wyatt stood still as father and daughter passed. The harshness with which Mackenzie treated his daughter were, more than a legend in Moosetown. The eyes of Dr. Luke and the nurse were cold as father and daughter passed them.

Idea Is Spreading

The Alcorn example is being fol- lowed widely throughout the IVA area. Tennessee recently passed a special law permitting the organiza- ton of such electrical co-operatives. The association has been flooded with requests for information on its manner of operating.
 The presumption is, in the system being worked out in Alcorn County. that, after the property is paid for, further profits from operation will be used either for new equipment or rate reductions; or will be pro- rated among the members as a dividend.
 This sort of cooperative move- ment is spreading rapidly through out the Tennessee Valley area, not only as applied to distribution of electricity, but in other fields.
