California company, and install
lation of a new roof on the water

Your Newspaper
Needs Cooperation

Rounding out Newspaper Week in
California, there is no better way to
summarize the purpose of the week than
by saying it is a week set aside to ac-
quaint the public with the services and
problems of a newspaper in order that
the public may better understand what
Its newspaper stands for, and cooper
ate in the community building which is
part of any good newspapers work.
In FL Centre, a city with a promising
future. this cooperation toward COM
mon goal is especially important
The publicity given by newspapers
annually to chambers of commerce.
service clubs, churches and civic move
ments is worth thousands of dollars,
measured in terms of regular advertis-
ing rates. The space given to movements
aimed at building up the community
would cost an advertiser more than the
annual budget of many business we think
of as big ones. Yet all the newspaper
asks in return is cooperation, for in
building up the community and the
strength of others in the community, it
builds up its own strength.
A strong, attractive newspaper can
bring more people to its town, attract
more business to its streets, and benefit
everyone in the community. 1t can be
the greatest asset the town has.
Yet we must consider that lethargic
community can overcome all the good
any newspaper can do. A dull, lacklus-
ter population, sitting idle with no
thought of cooperation, can force re-
trenchment and dullness upon its news
paper. Without newspapers, the people
would retrace their steps toward savag-
cry; without cooperation, the newspa-
pers would face oblivion.

IF NOT JAPAN, THEN HERE
Ventura Star-Free Press

United Press dispatch reports that Japan
is wavering on the question OF carrying out her
bid to the world to hold the 1910 Olympics at
Tokyo.
Premier Prince Konoye and Count Soejima,
Olympics leaders in Japan, have agreed that
the diet of parliament should vote on the ques-
ton whether to give up the games in view of
the prospect of a long war in China and anxiety
over Japans relations with Englad and other
Occidental powers
We can't believe that Japan will go into
funk so easily and abandon an opportunity that
even nazi Germany used to her advantage
last year.
But if she does why shouldn't San Francisco
be prepared to extend invitation to hold the
Olympcs there, with her 1889 Exposition con-
tinued another year for the purpose. Los An
geles did a fine job of staging the big show
in 1892 San Francisco is equally able TO do
so next time.

The Obligations of
Parents and Teaehers

The Ell Centran who has the interests
of his children, his friends and their
children at heart will welcome the
chance this month to increase the effec-
tiveness of the Parent-Teacher Associa-
tion in this community. Set aside by
proclamation of Mayor Womack as Par
ent-Teacher Month, October should see
us all take a heightened interest in the
primary object of the Parent-Teacher
movement: to promote the welfare of
children and youth in home, school and
community.
There was a time when there existed
between most parents and most teachers
a barrier, however slight, of misunder-
. standing and jealousy. The sufferer was
the child. Between home and school in
many places there was no close bond of
Joint purpose, and the inevitable result
was that the community suffered be-
cause the children who grew to manhood
and womanhood had not, been given the
best possible training The greatest fac
tor in overcoming this barrier has been
the parent-teacher movement.
Through Parent-Teacher Associations
here. as elsewhere, there has been built
up a closely knit understanding between
parents and teachers which allows the
program of child training to be carried
through the home into the school. There
has been developed greater knowledge
by both parents and teachers of the in
dividual problems which are peculiar
to growing children. Most important,
there has been worked out a common
ground on which parents and teachers
can meet to discuss their plans and
troubles, and to arrive at workable
solution of the things which will need
solving as long as there is one child in
the world.
The parent who does not take advan-
tage of the organization in this commu-
nifty is missing a chance to gain full
knowledge of the factors which go into
the child's training.

1t was a great show that the Ger
mans put on for Benito Mussolini
No nation in Europe understands
the value of the spectacular better
than do the Germans; that one
little touch of floodlighting all the
buildings on Unter den Linden just
as the two dictators appeared was
a masterpiece.
But there was a grim and men,
acing undertone to the great cele-
bration. Hitler showed Mussolini
those aspects of German civilization
which were best calculated to in
terest and impress the visitor-the
great munitions works at Essen,
the new German army, the trim
warShips, the bombing squadrons,
and SO on.
For the international friendship
signalized by this meeting of states
men is friendship that rests on
the fear of war. The get-together
was no mere sentimental gesture;
it was a gesture that brought mail
ed fists into a nandshake.
And no American can read of it,
and think about the significance
of it. without reflecting on the pro-
vidential good fortune which is his
as an American.
Lying between two great oceans,
we escape the unending pressure
which forces Germans and Italians
to turn their nations into armed
camps. We do not need to bid for
other nations friendship by show
ing how tough we could be in case
of a fight. The money and energy
which go to build up war ma
chine can be diverted to peaceful
production.
You can dramatize the contrast
best by imagining that some for
eign statesman Prime Minister
Neville Chamberlain of England,
for instance-had come to America
and was being shown the sights by
President Roosevelt.
What would the President show
the prime minister? Would he not
take him to thQse spots where
Americas great productive machin-
cry is in high gear so that the
visitor might see how nation en-
joys the blessings of peace?
There would be visit to the De-
troit auto factories, no doubt, and
to the Mahoning Valley steel belt;
look at the Tennessee Valley. with

There was something enchanting,
too. about the aromatic old barn,
especially the hay NOV, where most
of us-of all places-got all dizzled
up with our first cigaret. The hay
NOV could in an instant become a

a fort behind which we resisted the
attack of outlaws. Sometimes IN
climbing the ladder to the loft, the
barn became a sailing ship, and,
holding to the SPAR we rode through
