SIDE LIGHTS ON LIFE
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

pulpit. But so can words Of
peace and comfort.
1t is pleasant to sit in a pew
and listen to a preacher say every
thing to make US feel good and
nothing to make us feel bad. But
if we need to be reused out of
our rut, or censured for miscon-
duct, if there are unhealthy con-
Editions which we should know
about, soothing syrup is not what
we need. If dentists merely put
something quieting into our bad
teeth instead of filling or extract
ing them, that would be no good.
If simething is wrong we had
better know it. and if something
cen be done about it, we had bet
ter know about that too. A false
sense of peace and security is
certainly not for our good.
Custom in certain quarters says
and always has said - that
wrong is right. The preacher who
fails to wake his congregation up
to such conditions but who allows
them to sleep, or puts them to
sleep, is not serving them well.
This is not q world to be COM
placent in; it is world to over
come in; we cannot develop the
strength to overcome on diet Of
spiritual pap.
Personally, | don't want much
of the preacher who tells me that
all is love and beer and skittles /;
for / know it isn't. There is work
to be done-and hard work !;
there is fighting to be done-and
hard fghting-if evil is to be
overcome by good.

Observation-Disclosures Bridges,
w spectacular west coast regional
director of the c. I. O., will be
placed on the spot within the next
few weeks at Department of
Labor hearing to pass on charges
that he is legally deportable.
That is, unless Secretary
. Frances Perkins-who hasn't an
nounced her decision-exercises
The feminine prerogative of chang
ing her mind.
Actual deportation of major
labor leader and conspicuous aide
10 John L. Lewis would be cause
celebre in labor history. But al
though there has been heavy pres
sure on the Labor Department
both from west coast employers
and enemies of Bridges within the
labor movement, Bridges-an Aus
tralian citizen who has taken out
first citizenship papers in this
country-is a long way from be-
ing deported.
Bridges is charged, in deposit
tons brought by members of
labor organizations outside the
c. l. o., with being member of
the Communist party. In some
dispositions it is alleged that he
was present at major deliberations
Of the Inner circle" of that party
on the Pacific Coast.
The c. l. o. leader, however, has
repeatedly denied that he was a
member of the Communist party.
He would not be legally deport-
able unless it were proved that he
belonged to an organization which
sought overthrow of the govern
ment by force and violence, as
charged, or that he himself had
advocated overthrow of govern
men by force and violence, which
is not charged.
immigration lawyers say it
would be necessary, in order to
deport Bridges, to prove not only
that he was a party membey, but
!, also that the Communist party adj

seems to occupy the center Of
the stage when it comes to some
thing to talk about. Petitions are
being filed for Cow zones" with
in the city. Letters and poetry are
being written. The talk in the
newspapers has been mostly one
sided, mainly in favor of cow
owners.
Now the city officially steps to
the bat. The officials have receiv-
ed many complaints about COWS.
What would you do if you were
an official, endeavoring to make
clean, beautiful, sanitary,
healthful community and catering
to tourists as a source of meat
and bread, and incidentally some
feed to keep the cow functioning?
NATURE OF COMPLAINTS:
Mayor A. V. Edwards, who does
not want to do anyone an injury,
but who has all the people to
serve, relates these among many
other complaints received:
l. Flowers and shrubbery eat
en- by cows twice at Toms park.
2. City police called to Pres
byterian church to remove bawl-
ing cows in order for children to
continue Sunday school.
8. Letters from Florida visi-
tor calling attention to unclean
sidewalks caused by cows, and
cows grazing in two city parks
and on Library lawn.
4. Two Florida families who
rented nice homes from our local
people that complained practical
ly all the summer and threatened
to leave on account of being an
noyed by cows.
5. City officials called to tn.
Public Library by the librarian to
remove bawling cow from under
library window during reading
hours in the library by visitors
and home folks.
6. Good citizens reporting to
city officials about cow being
staked from early morning to late
afternoon in the hot sun, without
water, on another citizens prop
erty.
7. Reports to city officials of
as many as five cows being owned
by one citizen within two blocks
of Main street and within 40 feet
of two boardinp houSpS
. 8. Complaints from visiting and
home ladies about unsanitary side
walks leading to our high, school
auditorium caused by cows.
g., Complaints about cows with
out proper shelter being exposed
to the coolest winter weather.
10. A lady rooning with a
widow threatening to leave unless
the condition of a neighbours COW
lot Is feet away is cleared up,
and expecting the city to do it.
II. Lady operating boarding
house for livelihood and COM
planning that she had lost visitors
on account of unsanitary condi-
lions of a COW lot directly across
the street.
IL. Several citizens at present
say they would make a sacrifice
on their homes on account of
cows so close. They do not want
to fall out with their neighbor but
want the city to correct the situa-
ton.
IS. One section of the city COM
planning that during the summer,
cows are led UP and down the
street in front Of their homes by
little boys, keeping the street in
very unsanitary condition, and
grazing on other peoples lawns.
IA. Numerous complaints about
the sidewalks in the main part of
some Of our residential property
being blocked by cows so pedes-
TRANS could not pass.
Is. Several complaints about

taking the matter too much to
heart when we discover imperfec-
tons in others. 1t is all right to
demand perfection, for the way
to improve is always to strive to
do better than we can do; but
we should not allow ourselves to
get worked up by imperfections.
We should take them in our stride
and do what we reasonably can
to correct them, remembering
that perfect souls do not come
to this sphere - it is not the
place for them; yet all who are
here should set their faces to-
ward perfection, and each should
help his fellows to gain ground.

TROJAN SCULPTURE
FIND PUSHES BACK
CIVILIZATIONS DAWN

CINCINNATI, Jan. p. CUP.
University of Cincinnati archae-
ologists, in announcing the dis
covery of, a huge fortification
wall and an expertly sculptured
stone face. at the site Of ancient
Troy, have added another link to
ancient civilization.
The finds were made during eX-
cavations in 1887 and were an
nounced here by Drs. William I.
Semple and Carl w. Blegen.
DR.. Blegen, professor of class
ical archaeology, believed the wall
was at least 5000 years old.
"The wall clearly indicates that
even in its earliest period, Troy
was a great fortified stronghold
of the same character as we have
found in later settlements there, "
