dark tresses brushed downward

Mrs. Douglas, we're happy to

This slim fitting daytime dress
was circled Empire fashion, with
a wide swath of bright red vel

a very feminine look.
Another black-clad girl in the
room was "Ducky" Carmichael;
her daytime gown a simple,
square necked affair fastened at
each side of the decolletage with
huge jeweled clips. Her curly
blonde hair (arranged in down.

by a bit of black velvet head

toned pouf.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
A FORTNIGHT SENATOR

Bennett Champ Clark is the senior senator from
Missouri He is a fortnight legislator, his rec

his primary campaign announcement emphasizes.
For he is going before the people of his state seek
ing their support for denomination on platform
of complete independence which means that if and
when it does seem proper for him to support a.
a partisan a party policy plan he will oppose 1t.

lower house several terms and finally became speak
er As a Democrat, he believes in party govern
ment. He believes in supporting administration
policies if it is possible to do so. but is just
firmly convinced that when one thinks plan Is
wrong should vote against it.
In making his announcement Senator Clark did
not apologize for opposing some of the policies OF
the present administration. He is on record as
against the supreme court and government reor
ganzation measures. He was convinced they were
improper. unsOund and therefore ought not to be
enacted into law. He explained that when he could
not agree with the administration he honestly took
position of opposition. And he warned the Mis-
Sourans that his course, which he had followed
throughout his career as United States senator
would be his as long as he remained in office.
When it comes to approving legislation "sght

Senator Clark told the people of his state that
he would not seek office whenever the people OF
Missouri concluded it was the duty of United
States senator to accept anything and everything

ers Obviously since he is seeking renomna-
ton and reelection, he does not feel that Nilsson

Instead he is of the opinion that they want one

THE STATES PERSONALITY is THE
FAMILY'S
(Bv BRUCE CATION

We are in the midst of a period IN which
the state is being glorified. AS the source
of all power and all glory, national gov
crnmentS are setting forth their claims
and in many cases enforcing them-as the
greatest moving force in the lives of mil
lions of people.
Yet there are other forces, and it re-
manned for DR.. Stanley P. Davies, presi-
dent of the Family Welfare Association of
America. to remind us of one that is even
more fundamental than the state.
From time to time throughout the
course of history. says Dr. Davies, the
state has attempted to mold the family to
it's own ends, but in the last analysis the
family has prevailed. The family molds
the people. and in the long run the people
mold the state
That is getting back to fundamentals,
for no one has yet devised a state or man.
ner of life which did not depend in large
measure on a stable and vital family life.
The experience of Russia soon after the
revolution of 1917 taught them this.
1t was felt that the family had been out
mOded. Easy and automatic marriage and
divorce. state care of children and the like
were the enthuSiaSmS of that era.
But gradually conditions changed, and
family life in Russia is now not much diff
ferent from family life anywhere. The
basic institution of the family proved itself
stronger than the state itself.
So, too. with the Jewish people, whose
devotion to the family group is proverbial.
Without any state at all, the life in family
and synagogue and temple has proved a
more constant unifying force than a score
of states which have tried to supplant
them.
There is definite link, DR.. Davies be-
Iieves, between family life and democracy,
for the aim of each is the same: the liberia
ton and fullest development of the indi-
vidual
The social personality is best built with
an the family itself, that little democracy"
where mutual Identification, sharing, rec
ngnition both of self-interest and group
interest grow strong. Principles learned
here overflow later into the larger democ-
raCy of state and society, DR.. Davies be-
ieveS
Each is necessary to, and each stimu-
latcs. the other. Family life develops best
under democratic conditions, and democ-
racy flowers fullest when family life is a
rock anehoring people against winds OF
discomfort and slippery slogans.

OUR MASTER?

The American people, of course, are themselves
to blame for whatever may be the faults of our
government.
That cannot be gainSaid, for in spite of all VIC
may complain about the political bosses, the people
are the court of last and the bosses and lead
ers are powerless without endorsement and
approval at the polls.
If government becomes oppressive IT is because
we allow the demagogues and dctators to do what
they please with us and to us.
Something of that thought must have been in the
mind Of Alan Valentine president of Rochester
University when he said: "Our government has
been our servant; but if ask favors it must be-
come our master"
That's one of the reasons our taxes arc high, and
bureaus and administrators in Washington and IN
other capitals about the country are more and
more regulating our gongs and comings and tell
ing us what may and may not do
And the more we ask government to do for u.s.
the more government will become our master and
the more it will demand from our income and will
tell us how and what must and must not do
with that which they left to us.
And to the extent allow government thus 20
become our master, to just that extent do we give
up being free Amercans.-Rock Hill Herald,
