REMEMBERING BIRTHDAYS
Laura Gray


Six-year-old Tommy counted pen.
nies, ,nickels, and dimes spread on
the door. Fifty cents!" he announ-
ced at last.
Ives got money, tool" beamed
his four-year-old sister Mary, clut-
ching coins from her money-box.
Quick, hide them! Here comes
Mother!" Tommy sat on his.
But It turned out that the sounds
along the hall were made by Father.
I'VE want to buy Mother a birth
day present" Both children dropped
their savings into his hand.
Sh, not SO loudl" he said, smiling,
as he softly shut the door. Then he
settled into an armchair and took his
little daughter on his knee. Yes,
you can buy nice present with
that"
BUY Mother a dolly's tea-set!"
piped Mary.
Mother doesn't want that" scoff-
ed Tommy. hands deep in the pock-
cts Of his short trousers.
what does Mother like very
much herself?" asked Father.
Several things we're named before
Tommy thought of pretty cups to
put in her china closet"
would you like TO see what !
have for Mothers birthday" asked
the man. "Can you keep a secret
until tomorrow?
They we're both sure they could.
He drew a small box from his pock-
ct and showed them a beautiful lit
tie wrist watch.
That's just what she wants! l
heard her say sol" remarked Tom
my. as he examined the lovely gift.
'Now you two run down to the
store and buy the cup and saucer.
I'll keep Mother safe until you come
back"
"We're going to give Mother her
breakfast in bed tomorrow" Tommy
whispered aglow, and they were OF,
hopping and skipping with delight.
Birthdays. are too wonderful to
lose sight Of--in childhood years, at
any rate. II is easy enOug for young
sters to look forward to their own
and they can be taught to
enjoy making another happy on his
festal day.
But when the family income does
not quite cover daily needs birthday
some times seem like Nightmares
that present that must be bought!
Make presents" some one suggests.
Good advice, IL strength and time are
not already Overtaxed.
But it's wonderful what little
things make birthday happy. In
Dne family the birthday child is al
lowed to choose. the pudding for
dinner. Surprising the fun there is I
in this! An especially hearty birth
day hug from Mother is another
events. A homemade
cake, with such simple things as
penny, trimble and glass marble or
.hina doll, each wrapped in wax pa
per and hidden from sight, brings
Inforgettable delight.
Some special notice from every
of the family enriches the
Law. Brother does Sisters chores.
md the compliment is returned on
Brothers birthday. It's the loving
hought that makes the day memoir
lble. Birthdays are well worth
While.

DeuiL Take the Taxpayer

The story of public electric power
development in the State Of Nebras-
ka would be highly ludicrous were
Il not for the fact that millions upon
millions Of dollars Of general tax
payers money have been sunk in
the. silt of Nebraska's many wa
ters."
Extensive surveys by army engi-
neers and private engineers long ago
indicated that the streams OF Ne
braska are not suited to electric
power development. Within the last
quarter century numerous attempts
have been made In this direction.
and in most instances have failed
miserabIy. But undaunted and with
perverse obstinacy public owner
ship enthusiasts have built bitches,
dams and power houses from one
end of the state to the other. They
have defied nature, dry riverbeds and
tons OF silt.
According to Ernest n. Abrams Of
the New York Sun, out OF s94.526. 900
allotted for non-federal power pro-
jects by PWA. Nebraska received
over 33 per cent. or nearly $32.OOO.-
900. Fifteen states, including Nebras-
ka, received SO per cent of the total
sum.
a good share of these lopsided ex-
pendItures represent borrowed mon
ey and all Of the taxpayers OF the
nation will share in the burden OF
paying the debt. for years to come.
Annarentlv the politicians who
would socialize the electric industry
have not the slightest understanding
Of the word fair" To them the end
justifies the means and Devil take
the taxpayer !

Stripped Of excess verbal baggage
and all correlated aspects, that is the
bone and sinew Of the Barnesville
challenge. II Mr.. Roosevelt's demand
for the purge Of Senator George
doesn't mean that, then the Ian
guage" the President speaks" is
meaningless. 1t is unfortunately not
meaningless. 1t means exactly what
he implies. F. D. r. wants Congress
pledged to intellectual servitude. That
is not Democracy. 1t Is Stalinism,
Mussolini-ism, Hilterism rolled into
one. 1t may be dictatorship with a
Harvard accent and a billion-doll
smile, II you please, but 1t is Dictator
ship all the same. At Barnesville the
President said that "as long as live,
you will find me fighting against any
kind of dictatorship" But in the next
breath he called upon Georgians to
place their senior Senator before q
political firing squad because 'on most
public questions he and I do not speak
the same language" That is not
putting it quite as crudely as the one
man rulers Of Russia, Italy and Ger
many put it when they outlaw oppo-
sition and ban any political parties"
except their own. In essence, Mr..
Roosevelt seeks to do no less than
Stain does when the Soviet autocrat
permits only candidates acceptable to
the Comintern to run for Office under
the New Soviet Constitution" or
than Mussolini, when II Duce abol-
'ished the Italian Chamber Of Depu-
ties in 1923, or Hitler. when der
Fuehrer reduced the Reichstag TO a
gang Of Charley McCarthys in 1888.
None Of the European autocrats toler-
ates men who do not speak my Ian
guage" Senator George is not threat
ened with the physical fate which
awaits dissenters in totaltarian
Europe. but he has been sentenced to
political death for . similar high
crime and misdemeanor. Any other
analysis of events in Georgia Is sheer
pussyfooting. To this observer, at
least, no fundamental American issue
has ever been presented with greater
clarity or called for swifter or more
condign rebuke at the peoples hands.
If America stands for Barnesville, Mr..
Roosevelt, If so inclined. can thence
forward go the limit on almost any
path he cares to tread.

For, from all practical standpoints,
If the British Empire is engaged In a

and Canada becomes the enemy OF
Britain's enemies To conduct mill
tary or naval or aerial operations on
Canadian territory brings a war closer
to Americas conception of war for
self-defense than any other concrete
illustration could. Certainly an aerial
bombardment of Canadian cities would
mean danger to American border
cities, too.
Under the circumstances, knowing
what has lately been accomplished by
airplane flights across the Atlantic
and the bombardment possible by
long range, nonstop cruising planes,
Mr.. Roosevelt must have had aviation
in mind when he said:

This Is realism. The writer a year
ago commended the Presidents Chi
cago speech as an enlightened utter
ance designed to prevent war. The
speech in Canada is even more help
full to world peace and may we'll pre-
vent Hitler from making the mistake

that America would remain neutral
