 Visit To Lebanon
Prominent Local Resident Spends Eleven Months in
 Journey to Near East-Interesting Experiences

ago by the people who gave us our modern alphabet.
 He also visited the tradition mist ed cities of Tyre and Sidon, and viewed the famous Cedars of Leb- anon, said to be now more than 1000 years old. One of the most in- teresting spots in his travels, says MT. Rahhal, was the Valley of the Skulls, near Baskinta.
 He travelled through the Syrian desert to Damascus, said by his- torians to be the oldest city in the world, and to the land of the Arabs and the Druses. He was particularly impressed by the Holy Land, visiting Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Nazareth. During his travels, he employed both old and new means, ranging from donkey and camel to fast motor car and train.
 In Persia MT. Rahhal studied the ancient methods of the rug makers, toured the bazaars, and studied the relics of another day. He visited the tomb of the great Syrian American poet and artist, Kalil Gibran, whose tomb is in a solid rock mountain $500 feet above Lebanon.
 The local man returned with many interesting souvenirs of his lengthy trip.

By MILTON BRONNER Staff Correspondent

London, Nov. 23.-No tears were shed by the British cabinet-not one single briny tear--when the Duke and Duchess of Windsor cancelled their proposed tour of the United States.
 For whatever might have hap pened on that tour, it would have interfered with the concerted eff fort of public speakers and most of the British press to build up'' in public esteem the King and Queen-and other members of the royal family who have stayed at home.
 On every possible occasion the solidarity of the House of Wind sor has been displayed. Pictures of King George and Queen Elizabeth and their two attractive children, photos of the dukes of Kent and Gloucester and their wives, and of the Kent children, are printed on occasion.
 It is perfectly clear that the powers-that-be want David Wind- sor to drop out of the popular mind. And the more he continues in the publicity spotlight, the harder is the task of building up" the royal family.
 Saw Two Dangers
 So the chances are that the can- cellation brought forth some pro- found sighs of relief and even per- haps a chuckle of pleasure. That's directly contrary to some reports that the British government, with some deep, sly purpose of its own, had put the OK on the proposed jaunt. Those at the top saw two dangers in the proposed trip.
 One was that the duke might be lionized, and his trip turned into a triurnphal tour. Then even the pa pers in England hostile to him could scarcely have kept the duke of their front pages.
 Vast crowds in the streets of New York and other big cities to greet the duke, tea and talk at the White House, little happy impromptu speeches to crowds gathered at rail- road stations, broadcasts over na- tional hook -ups-those things would all have been front-page news to even the most reluctant editors.
 The other possibility was that the duke might have met with markedly hostile receptions on the part ol labor unions, anti-Fascist and anti Nazi organizations. If the duke, say had bee hissed on landing in New York, and gotten the royal razz- berry from crowds wherever he went, that would have left a bitter taste in England.
 After all, he was once a British king. He has doffed the crown, but

serious nature.

destructive acts. In broad day

tires with ice picks, tore the wires
from the engine and poured saw
dust in the gas tank. Then they

company cabinet shop and tipped
over paint pals, spilling paint on
the floors and scattering tools
around the shop.

poets one at a time and in that
way obtained complete confess

ACTS OF VANDALISM BY BOYS IN
their teens are altogether too common and
should be subject of concern not only to
their parents but to the community in which
youths with such inclinations are maturing.
With proper corrective methods, most boys
can be made to see the error of their acts
and will outgrow the destructive age but
improper handling of such cases may lead
to the development of gangsters.
Apprehension is an important factor
and every effort should be made to bring
the lawbreakers to justice. Parents are wise
to aid in this rather than shield the young
ster, who when confident Of protection, is
encouraged in wrong doing.
Punishment should aim only at correc-
ton of the tendency and it is important that
each case be studied fully and handled &C
cording to the Individual and circumstances.
What will serve to deter one hayward youth,
may have the opposite reaction upon others.
Lack of better ways in which to employ
their time is more responsible for these con-
ditions than any other factor. Parents who
encourage their youngsters to take an inter-
est in the lawn and garden and other home
tasks have fewer such troubles. They can
add to their precautions by keeping some
check on hours, activities and companions.
The city could contribute materially with Or
gained play activities during the summer
months.
