my memory.
Well, anyway the Blackwells reach
ed Oxford safely and here l was back
home the same day l had left.
When suppertime came, here Mrs.
Jones and myself were with an invite
out to the Oak Hill school play but
no way to go; an invite to the Junior
Order speaking and entertainment.
and about that time Miss Edna Crews
phoned she was sending for us short
ly to come over to the Lewis School
to the P-T-A Minstrel. AS soon as we
were ready, up rode Mr.. Wheeler TO"
us.
That was some minstrel with all
those black-faced Fappy and Nanny
and Epidemic, Miasma, and about
ten more OF the chillun. They were
radio and theatre entertainers call
ing themselves "The Lazy Moon Min
strels." They came by their home &c
give their Pappy and Nanny, a free
show.
When I wasn't laughing I was hol-
lering. | could not call one name with
out mentioning all, as all did exceed
ingly well.
We reached home after nine anu
| found that the Jones Boys had beer
studying. So l gave them the candy
Tommy Rose sent, and 1 sat down
/ for n two hours of reducing my
thoughts from thoughts, to writing.
So that is the way these daily

I shall try and tell you in a small,
way the answer to this question which
has been asked me several times,
Chow on earth do you think of al!
those thircs you write about?" All
of these things actually happened to-
day. ! was walking down the road
yodeling lin some sort of fashion,
and an old colored woman came 70
her door and looked at me as though
she thought Who in the world is
that crazy man." After l had gotten
warmed up real good from walking,
thea Allie Hart came along and my
journey soon ended in Henderson. So
l walked on towards the office, run
ming right smack into Red Taylor
and Elliott G.. Shaw, who were trying
to make plans to relieve this country
of suffering So accidents minute, as
statistics show, and also as Reds
badge showed AT first l thought it
was Heinz being promoted from 81 TO
6S.
At the office things again seemed
to be okey-dory. l handed in a couple
or so subs and inquired if there were
a cut of Tommy Rose there, to which
the answer of said question was in the
affirmative. So then and at once nv
old friend, Tommy, was decided on as
topic for conversation for my next
column. We were boys together some
years ago when he LIVED in Oxford
except that 1 was quite bit older
than he.
/ finally got UP TIE nerve TO go
i
lance as 1 had not seen him for
long time But before the lady woulG
bulge from her tracks, I had to tell
her who l was, where 1 was from,
and who | wanted to see. So 1 sat

down in his office and waited. There
were hundreds of boxes of candy all
cellophane-covered to keep folks like
me from sampling them
The lady had to walk about a quar-
ter-mile down long aisle which gave
me time to glance over the room.
There on his desk was a beautiful
picture of Tommy's family, Miss
Katherine, a former Oxford girl; and
their three children Ann, T. B. Rose.
III, and Paul Hunt.
Finally Tom arrived and seemed
/ glad to meet an old friend once more.
He asked about my family and 1 ask
ed about his, 1 told him that l had
not come to bother him, but Just to
see If he were the same old Tommy
he used to be. I found that same
smile and hand-shake just as sincere
as they formerly were AS 1 left, he
gave me some nice candy to bring
to the boys
But before seeing Tommy, Mrs. VIZ
Parham had introduced me to her
Uncle from New York. Also Rat
Breedlove had said, Moses, meet nv
nephew" And that was he told me,
leaving me TO have to go to the trou-
BILE of finding out who that very
sizeable and healthy looking Young
man was. Which turned out to be
the son of Rats brother. E. G..
ErnesD Breedlove, down at Middle
burg. He was Edward Breedlove, of
the Time Jewelry Store.
Just like a picture in frame, or a
silhouette on the wall, does Juni,is
Rogers smiling face usually stand
out at the P. o. window, but this time
it was profoundly minus, with M.
Lassiter serving as pinch-hitter. He
said that some of the girls had not
mailed letter for several DAYS, but
were waiting for Junius' return so
they could buy stamps from him.
There l was ready to go home and
no way to ride. Found Mr. and Mrs
c. r. (Charlie) Blackwell who sail
they would bring me. But first they
rode around to Burwell Ave- to sec
Fl. A. (HerberD Grissom. They farm
ed with Mr.. Grissom in 1914 and for
several years afterwards, just after
Blackwells' marriage, living out nea~
st. Andrews church. Mr.. Grissoms
brother, Charlie, the mail carrier, lives
a. AAlCtA Gil. <Al10 O1lCC OIldIIlC 11dI-
ris married one of the girls, Miss Joe
Miss Leonora gave Mrs. Blackwell a
mother cat with four little kittens to
take to their little daughter, Marie.
And all the way riding home 1 kept
thinking of Tommy Rose, and his
name made me think of all those
songs of the roses. 1 know Mr. and
Mrs. Blackwell wondered why 1 kept
trying to sing:
"'Tis the last rose of summer, lett
blooming alone,
All her lovely companions are faded
and gone.'
"Roses white or roses red, In cours..
of time must perish;
AS before our eyes they shed tie love
illness we cherish
Dear little rose with your heart %
Dear little rose, may your petals I'M
fold"
my wild Irish rose,
The sweetest flower that grows
Sweetest lii fella, every body knows
Don't know what to call him, but he's
mighty lax a rose;
Lookin' at his nanny, wild eyes SO
shiny blue,
Make you think that Heaven is comm
close ter YOU"
"On the wild rose tree, many blooms
there be;
Yet each sunny hour hath but one
perfect flower"
Then l whistled that beautiful
melody, To A Wild Rose, which l ono.

NOT THE COST OF SAFETY
(Wall Street Journal)

Strides which have been taken under
the sponsorship OF the Treasury Depart
ment to unity bank examination are en-
tirely in the right direction. With four
separate systems of bank examination
in action, bankers have been subjected
to a multiple supervision which amounts
to virtual persecution. Moreover, in these
times of narrow profit margins, the sheer
expense involved has been by no means
an inconsiderable item.
Because of this unreasonable situation,
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp, the
Comptroller of the Currency and the Ma
tional Association of Supervisors of
State Banks have made every effort to
simplify procedure. This effort has re-
suited in a compromise which, although
all of the details are not yet known,
seems to represent standards and meth
DDS consonant with both reason and pru-
dence. Certainly, as evidenced by the re-
Taxation of the rules in connection with
buying of bonds, the agreed-upon stand
ards have gone far in the direction of
liberalism" as that word is applied to
banking.
While we believe that one uniform sys-
tenn of bank examination is a desirable
end-more, a goal which should be
sought increasingly until it is attained
we believe that it would be far better for
the groups now in agreement to proceed
with the examination system that they
have worked out than go too far in order
to satisfy the board of governors.

IS JEWISH PERSECUTION
AN ARYAN SMOKESCREEN?

Italy has now Joined Germany IN
persecution that equals in mental tribula-
tion at least the physical tortures of the
Spanish Inquisition. 1t is the persecution
of those unfortunate enough to be Jews
in Italy or Germany.
Throughout history unscrupulous per-
sons have prosecuted Jews for their own
reasons, sometimes POLITICAL sometimes
financial No place in history does an
other reason for such prosecutions ap-
pear.
What is the reason today in Italy and
Germany?
A study of the finances and internal
political structures of those two coun-
tries lead one to believe that both rea-
sons may be present. 1t is becoming in
creasingly apparent that Dictator Adolf
Hitler in Germany and Dictator Benito
Mussolini in Italy must find some way
to divert the attention of their peoples
from the shaky financial structures of
their governments, and to cause the peo-
pie to overlook the oppressive dictator
ships under which they live.
One of the greatest of all attention
diverters is manhunt, and mass man.
hunt is even better. 1t seems highly pos
sible that herein lies the real reason for
the Nazi and Fascist 'Aryan' campaigns.

NOW OR NEVER
FOR RUSSIA

IJndeclared war RACES today along the
Siberian -Manchukuan border of ASIA. II
is war that had to come. For Russia
it is now or never.
If Russia avoided conflict with Japan,
allowing Japan to complete her conquest
of China, the little men of the Rising sun
flag would almost certainly look next
towards Siberia, for Siberia is part OF
Asia and japan undoubtedly dreams OF
an Asiatic empire Today Russia can pre-
vent such ambitions from gaining reallZ-
alton. Tomorrow, she might not be able
TO do so.
Janan. once entrenched in China,
wonld have boundleSs territory and end
less resources at her control. WIthlh
only few years she could replenish her
war losses from the untouched wealth
of China. build up a war machine never
eoualled in mankind's history, and over
run Siberia at will. She might stop there
and she might not.
Today Japan is not in that favorable
position. however. At home her people
are heavily taxed to finance the Chinese
invasion. Her manpOwer has been de-
pleted by more than a year of merclless
warfare in China. Her credit has been
impaired with other nations, and her
store of war materials is growing less
day bv day. If Russia waits until Japan
has overcome these handicaps, Russia
is doomed. If she acts now, when her per-
ennial enemy is weakened by heavy
drains on treasury and population, her
chance of victory is good.
If there must be war-and for seven
years it has appeared that there must
Russia wants it now; Japan wants 1t
later.
Border dispatches show how Russia
is forcing her desire, desire founded
upon the old law of self-preservation

WORDS AND MEANINGS
IN DIPLOMACY
(Christian Science Monitor)

(Christian Science Monitor)
Japan has exhibited a canny talent
for telling how seriously another gov
ernment means what it says. Recall
the conciliatory response = words and
action-which followed Mr. Hull's note
demanding return by Japanese authori-
ties of American-oWned properties in
China. To Judge by that response, Wis
count HalifaX's blunt statement in the
House of Lords that Britain intends to
protect British rights in China will go
in Japan's wise ear and not come out
the other
There are national interests at stake,
material interests. Japan's military lead
erS, who today seem able to lead all its
other leaders in the making of policy,
understand the language in which a gov
ernment insists ON respect for these in
terests.
That is because governments have so
frequently proved their determination
to defend them. The interests of moral
ity, now, are stated in words of less
explicit connotations. Thus when the
United States protested against the
bombing of civilians in China Japanese
spokesmen made it clear they did not
intend to change their policy of aerial
wal 1aiS. but witch lHe FhliSl lCiH oeCle-
tary of State protested the further hold
ing of American properties in China by
the Japanese, there the result was salts
factory, as no doubt, would be Japan's
reply to a British note in similar terms,
for similar interests.
1t should not be overlooked that in
defending their material interests ma
tions often defend moral values also, in
sofar as these are expressed in the abid-
ance by, and insistence on, international
law. But it is rarely that history records
a governments unmistakable determina-
ton to defend morality for its own sake.
When governments show this determina-
tion they will defend their material in
terests with weapons mightier than any
armaments, more persuasive than diplo-
macy.

Well Ill
Tell IYou.,
Says
Bob Burns

If / can't say somethin' nice
about a person, / usually keep my
mouth shut. Some folks, though,
jest won't let you keep quiet. They
keep fishin' for compliment until
a fella hasta say sOmethin' to be
polite. Did'ja ever get caught in
a situation like that and say some
thin you thought was nice only
to have it bounce back and skin
your own knuckles.
For instance, my aunt was fishin'
around and said to Uncle Slug
I'm pretty tired of hearin' you
complain about my relations. Can't
you think of anything nice to ~
about them?" Uncle Slug thought
a minute and said "Well-yes, one
thing they were all opposed

AIRLINES TO ALASKA

Impending establishment of a COM
mercial air line to Juneau, Alaska, from
Seattle, appears as forerunner of final
mass settlement by Americans of the
last frontier" frontier of vital mill
tary importance to the United States
1t is safe guess that, even though such
a commercial route might not be finan-
cially successful, the government will
see that it continues in operation.
