Happy Life
Play Enjoyed
By MANY
A SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR
''Hail to a Happy Life"

There could not have been more
dramatic elimination of the local
Negro Health Week than the edu-
cational play, "Hail to a Happy
Life" as was presented by the
Catholic Mothers Club of St.
Peter Claver Catholic Church. It
need no longer be said that health
plays do not take with the public,
for the spacious auditorium of the
Halle @. Brown Community House
did not have enough seats to ac-
commodate those who came to wit
ness this beautiful pageant.
The play was written around
well known nursery rhymes. Little
Miss Muffet and Tommy Tooth
brush and his drill of twenty white
teeth was indeed a most unusual
dramatization of children of three
years of age. Each child had a
tooth brush and a large white tooth
in the center of their crowns. Drs.
Earl s. Weber and Charles Will
iams gave a good account of
themselves as artists.
Vitamins A, B, C, d and E and
the Wheel of Life were beautifully
portrayed by the young women of
the Sodality with Miss Billie Rita
Rhodes as queen and Miss >Hortense
Oden as soloist.
The play and theme song were
written and composed by Mrs.
Laura Oden Williams, president of
the club, who was also a director
of the pageant. Mrs. Leah Mae
Minor Young, accomplished plan
list, wrote the music for the songs.
Too much praise cannot be given
the entire membership of the club
for this splendid show. To Miss
Hortense Oden is due the credit
of collecting and placing the dec
orations.
The club wishes to thank those
who attended, the Len-Thole Com
pany for the installation of a loud
speaker, and to those who contrib
uted advertisements which made it
possible to have programs. The
members are Mesdames Margaret
Wilson, Laura Williams, Beatrice
Schuck, Delgracia Wright, Gladys
Mcfarland, Irene Jackson, lone
Brown, Betty Dodd, Mary Bradley,
Marie Sykes and Mary D. McFar-
land.
The cast of characters included
Hortense Oden as the Spirit of
Health, who surprised a large part
of the audience with a beautiful
singing voice; Lewis Williams,
father; Delgracia Wright, mother;
Rhoda Lyles, mother; Wayne Will
son, Billy; Juanita Schuck, Little
Miss Muffet; Paul Ray, Tommy
Toothbrush; Earl Weber, Jack Hor-

Portraying the part of the Vita
minis were Rosemond Collier as A;

80 YEARS OF FLYING

December II marked the 33rd ami
versary of the first airplane flight by the
Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk, N. c., in
1908. After long experimenting these
aviation pioneers succeeded in getting
their plane off the ground by its own
power, but the first flight lasted only II
seconds, during which time it flew 100
feet.
Later in the same day second flight
of SO seconds was made. These epoch
making flights marked the beginning of
mans mastery of the air, fulfilling an
age-old ambition which most persons de-
clared could never be realized. In fact,
it was only a few days before the Wrights
actually accomplished it that a certain
Congressman on the floor of the House in
opposing an appropriation for experiment
ing with flying machines asserted that any
one who thought human flight would ever
be possible was fool.
At first progress was rather slow,
and for several months only straight
flights were made, but on September Is,
1904, Orville Wright made the first turn
in the air, and five days later succeeded
in flying in circle. The first time plane
remained in the air as long as half an
hour was on October a, 1905, with flight
lasting 33 minutes. From that time on
developments by thel Wrights and others
were rapid.
Among the other early airplane
builders and FLYERS who became lannon's
may be mentioned Curtiss, Bleriot, Santos
Dumont, Farman, the Woisin brothers and
their associates. Many daring aviators
lost their lives through attempting stunts
i'll exhibition flying which were too diff
cult for the primitive machines employed
Contemplating the amazing feats of
present-day aviators, it is Difficult to
realize that the flying art is only 33
years old.

HOARDED GOLD

Soon Uncle Sans two-story vault of
steel, concrete and stone at Fort Knox,
KY, will contain the greatest hoard Of
gold ever concentrated in one locality in
the history of the world There will be
about 5000 tons of it, valued at approx
mately six billion dollars.
The impregnable vault built for its
safe-keeping was begun more than year
ago, and is located in the interior of the
sible attacks by an enemy nation in the
event of war.
In addition to the protection afforded
by the vault itself, there will be strong
force of guards, equipped with machine
guns, electric warning devices, flood lights
and every modern means for insuring
safety. The vault can be flooded by the
push of button and the flame of an
acetylene torch will release poison gas to
kill the would-be robbers.
This impenetrable fortress is bomb
proof and undoubtedly the strongest struc-
ture ever built by man. 1t cost about
100000 and is now completed ready for
the immense treasure which it will guard.
Shipments of the gold bullion to Fort
Knox will go chiefly from New York and
Philadelphia, and will be in charge of the
Post Office Department, which will re-
ceive from the Treasury 100000 for the
transfer. The gold will go by train, ac-
companied by a guard of postal inspectors
and railway service men, in addition to
two officers and SO soldiers for each train
Dates of shipment will be kept
secret, and it is expected that about so
trips will be made covering a period of
six months or more.
The new vault will no doubt keep
anyone from stealing its vast treasure, but
something else may be required to keep
Congress from spending it.

her security is threatened by Ger
many and Japan. If Germany pro-
poses to train quickly 10000 aviators,
because her security Is threatened by
the USSR, then the USSR must have
at least 100000 aviators (says Gen.
eral Khripin). in order to be secure
against Germany and Japan. Pre-
Sumably these countries, in turn,
must then construct more airplanes
and train more aviators in order to
be secure against Russia. and so on
and so on.
This armament race, envisaged as
giving security against the foreign
foe, necessarily means that the peo-
pie of these countries are unable to
enjoy the good things of life that are
embraced in our concept of security.
General Goering recently admitted
as much, in announcing Hitler's Sec
ond Four Year Plan. Because of the
fact that Germany is once more en-
circled by world of enemies, the
people, he said, must make further
sacrifices. They must consume less
meat. cream, milk. and butter. The
Germans. it appears. should now
know on which side their bread is
to be buttered-on neither side.
The speech of General Goering
makes quite clear that the controlling
principle in the feeding of people un-
der relationships is upderfeeding.
Whether the objective is a Fifteen
Year Plan to build up neN Roman
Empire, or a Four-Year Plan 10
make Germany independent of for
eign food stuffs and raw materials.
the plan always entails at the outset
less food. poorer shelter and clothing.
and fewer creature comfogts. Plans
to achieve this type of SECURITY al
ways involve sacrifices and tightly
drawn belts. The people must go
without that which makes life worth
living in order that they may have
what the dictators are pleased to call
security. and in order that the die
tators may build up their instruments
of power. ~1t9
