What fitting conclusion to our
three-month study Of Old Testament
characters it is to sound the note of
triumphant faith" The life stories
which have passed in review have
been true to life, as they have shift
ed from strength to weakness, from
fear to courage, from moral re-
sponsibility to moral weakness. But
God is the one who changeth not
and we would not close our series
properly without the encouraging
reminder that the man who truly
believes God may know strength out
Of weakness, courage in place of
fear, may like David rise out of de-
grading sin and defeat into the JOY
and victory Of faith.
Two elemental needs are common
to all neutrality-suspicious. for the
maintenance of life. both physical
and spiritual, and protection from
the enemies of soul and body Our
first Scripture portion declares the
faith of David in God as his provid
ing shepherd and the second as his
security from fear.

we must keep close to our divine

Watch Out for the Bird

Politicians on both sides Of the political
fence this fall have been so resourceiul
That party emblems might be changed
AZ a result. The Republicans would adopt
the raven as their party symbol, while
Democrats would use the swan. We don't
think. however, this will get any further
than It's proponents, for everyone likes
the donkey and elephant pretty much.
However, give Dr. McConaughy ana COL
onel HeWes their due; they tried to put
their respective parties on a new plane
with their talks on bird-life.
The unfortunate part OF 1t Is both gen
tlennen might find that instead OF giving
birds of two distinct species to their par
ties, they were getting the bird" them
selves. It's all In the way you look at It.
But at any rate Colonel Hewes brought

he said Republicans were ravens Trying

other words DR.. McConaughy retorted
by pointing out the defects OF swans ana
the virtues OF raven, as revealed through
the pages Of the Bible.
TO which the Democratic candidate for

The story of airplanes In the hurricane
disaster a few weeks ago deserves vide
telling. With highways and railroads
blocked and communication lines down,
the commercial air lines had wonder
full chance to show their stuff, and made
the most of 1t. First, they kept the mail
moving. Regular first class mall was
carried as air mail. The first two emer-
gency trips between New York and Bos-
ton on September % carried $500 and
$500 pounds of mail. The total carried
during the emergency was 272, 900 pounds
on that route alone. Fifteen-minute
schedules were maintained. For a few
DAYS first-class mail was more rapid than
the telegraph.
After the mail, they carried phenome-
nal loads Of freight and passengers. One
line reported 5000 passengers In period
in which It would ordinarily have had only
800. Many Of them were first-time flyers:
Much of the freight carried consisted OF
seruns and other emergency supplies
rushed into the stricken areas to prevent
epidemic and care for the sick. This
fine Job was done by pooling equipment
and personnel and cooperating without
petty rivalries. There can hardly be TOO
much praise and gratitude for Its
accomplishment

At last we've found one Republican
who names the change he would make

least he Is In favor Of such ideals" when

this candidate, as well as others isn't
quite so definite. For example, all OF
them point accusing fingers at various
Democratic endeavors, particularly the
New Deal, but they don't offer substitutes:

and continue to find Jobs. How, gentle

Connecticut fishermen, and we have
quite few, are gradually recovering and
repairing their equipment. Some are able
to put out to sea now to carry on their
trade But they are coming home empty
handed And fishermen say that the hur-
ricane and tidal wave did more than
merely ruin their equipment. They ruined
the fishing grounds. Where fish once
could be caught, they can be found no
longer Catches are few and far between,
The fisher-folk say It's because the tides
changed the bottom Of the Sound, har.
bors, and river mouths. Sand has shifted
around; rock bottom Is found where SAND
once lay. II this Is SO rehabilitation
