NEXT BEST THING
TO PAVING STREETS

FL Centros city council, street de
partment and street commissioner are
to be complimented upon their current
program for graveling streets most bad
ly in need of attention.
AS long as it is not possible because
of high cost to pave more Ell Centre
streets, the graveling process at least
keeps down dust and provides fairly
firm surface in event of rain. Both are
extremely important to the community

best We can.
So, taking the earth for granted,
we go ahead and do cur best-or
our worst We devote our energies
to all kind of struggles that array
man against man; to wars be
tween nations, to combats between
rich and poor, to every conceivable
kind of class, racial, and group an
tagonism. on these things, we tell
ourselves, depends the future OF
the human race.
But suppose the future of the
human r2ce depends ON nothing
Of the kind Suppose, instead, that
it depends on some incalcuiable
shift i'll the forces OF nature IL
self; suppose that all OF us, black
and white, rich and poor, Ameri-
can and European and Aslatlc,
have only a few more centuries to
go before the flame gees out and
the earth becomes an unlit lamp
swinging silently through ever
lasting night. What then?
Would we, in such case, have the
intelligence to drop our petty
souabbles and see our human race
for what it really is-a unit, which
holds insecure footing on an un-
predictable planet, and which must
work together if the years which
remain to it are to be made endur-
able?
IT might take the shadow of ap-
preaching cosmic calamity to make
us do that. Looking at the world
today. one must admit that it
would almost be worth the cost.

Switzerland

While the eyes of the world
have been turned upon relations
between Germany and Czechoslo-
Vakia Mr.. Hitler has also been
threatening the neutrality and
integrity of Switzerland.
His principal reason for this at
tack is the fact that two Swiss
newspapers enjoy freedom of the
press and do not hesitate to print
the truth in regard to what trans
pires in Germany. Some of them
are smuggled into Germany with
unpleasant facts about the Nazi
dictatorship.
The press of Switzerland, how
ever shows no signs of knuckling
to the dictatOrs, even though their
representatives are barred from
Germany and Italy in the efforts
to prevent the world from know
ing the truth about what occurs.
This threat to Switzerland is
part of the same policy which has
prompted leading Nazis to declare
that Germany cannot remain
friendly with any nation which
permits its press to print the news
regarding Nazi activities. If ap-
piled to the relations between Ger
many and the United States this
would precipitatc strained rela-
tionS and in the end might lead to
conflict. 1t is certain to be sug-
gested by Germany in the near
future.
Manifestly the dictators are set
to prevent the world from know
ing the truth, and if possible. to
destroy a free press eVeryWehrc

One sure way to add to the cost

Even with such labor construction

The HHmpty-D Dnmpiy Act.
HHH al Work

WASHINGTON. - Secretary Of
State Cordcn Hull IS working
quietly to keep the Democratic
party from doing its threatened
Humpty act. In the midst
of inner administration snipin2,
Hull seeks peace. compromise and
united administration front.
The soft. sweetlv reasonable words
in Ro3Sevelt's recent Fireside Chat
we're more attributable to the intlu-
enee of Hull tnan to any other.
One Of the ghost-Writing collabora-
tors en- that document was Assistant
Secretary OF State Adolf Augustus
Berle. the brilliant brain truster.
who is working closely with Hull
on the latter's sub rosa domestic
conciliation program.
There were items in the chat
for which Hull and Berle, with
their strong desire to quiet ad-
ministration critics. we're not re-
sponSible Roosevelt's assertion that
taxes and government expenditure
money ultimately comes out of
the labor of all the people that
government spending money should
be distributed at the bottom as
we'll as the top of the economic
scale and that Wage-hour legisla-
tion consequently should be prompt
ly paSSed-that was much more in
the spirit of the philosophy of David
Cushman Coyle.
10 Ia
goes most of the credit for the fact
that the speech was, as Washing
ton sees it, well received
Hull is a presidential possibility.
More so in the minds of his friends
and admirers than in the mind Of
Hull himself. But also in the minds
CT objective observers who see in
him a possible compromise at the
next Democratic convention as be-
tween the New Deal and pro-
Roosevelt forces. on one hand, and
the Farley machine forces and old
line conservative forces on the
other.
Hull might aptly be described as
mildly liberal. mildly conservative or
somewhere in between. But he is
honest and courageous; his prestige
in this administration has grown
rather than diminished.
When Roosevelt chose between
Hull and his then pet BRAIN
truSter, Raymond Moley. easing the
latter from the State Department
lest Hull quit and cause a revolt
among southern conservatives, he
was recognizing Hull's high stature
among the important southern con-
servative group.
The SeCretaryS more radical
acquaintances think he is way be
hind the times in his social-ecOn-
omic outlook. Nevertheless, when
some of the most advanced liberals
in Congress and the administration
less than three years ago formed a
group to study possibilities of Il
constitutional amendment which
would curb the Supreme Court, they
could be found meeting once a
week in Hull's apartment.
Hull has cordial relationships
with the Tugwell Taussig Berle
American Molasses' brain trust
group which earlier this year steer
ed Owen d. Young, Tom Lamont.
and John L. Lewis into "co-opera-
ton conference with Roosevelt at
the White House.
Berle, an important original
brain-truster, quit the New Deal
to brain-trust for Mayor LaGuardia
in New York. When he came here
recently as assistant secretary Of
state it was hoped that he could
wangle Roosevelt's support for the
goyernorship of New York. That
hasn't worked out.
But in team with Hull he may
we'll be going many more places
than his enemies intend.

Famous Sayings
Bruce Cation Says
-. The Future Alters the Present

1t is pretty little picture which
las been held up for the edifica-
ton of a needless world by the
Viennese geologist, Prof f. X.
Schaffer.
Professor Schaffer foresees the
coming of a new ice age Some
thing queer is going on under the
surface of our earth, as he sees it,;
the solid ground is slowly hump
ing itself up-very slowly, but
steadily, enough to lower the an
nual temperature Oy a fraction of
a degree II this goes on tand he
seems to suspect that it Wild the
temperature will drop Just enough
to bring a new sheet of glaciers
down over the northern hemi-
sphere.
All of this won't happen tomor
row, even if Professor Schaffer'S S
diagnosis is correct but from the
standpoint of geological time the
change is taking place at what
amounts to break-neck speed. 1t
is the professors belief that the
lllc llCW ICS dSt WILL NC upOll 10
within the next 1000 years.
Now of course it takes more
than one expert to make cata-
clysm, and any timorous mortal
could undoubtedly find plenty Of
biologists to disagree heartily with
everything that the Vienna expert
has said. But there is a salutary
little note of warning in this
gloomy picture which is worth
bearing in mind even if the pic
ture itself turns out to be wholly
false
We ordinarily take it for grant
ed that all our human activities
take place in a permanently stable,
orderly world. The solid earth, the
open sky, the recurring change of
seasons-these, as we see them, are
the immutable framework within
which We work out our destinies as

YANKEES SIGN
Yves TERRELL
Replaces Joe Vance Who
Undergoes Appendix
Operation

NEW YORK, Aug. Is. (UP)-
Wesley Terrell, right handed
pitcher released Friday by Wash
lngton, signed with the New York
Yankees yesterday to replace Joe
Vance, who underwent an appcn-
dix operation last night.
Terrell, who goes in for aStrol-
ogy and histr'ionicS in the dugout,
was ready to return to his home
at Guilford, n. c., figuring that
his major league career was viz
tually washed up. Instead he was
suddenly snapped up by a club
that seems certain to win its third
straight pCnnant, which would
give Yves half a share in the
world series melon.
Terrell minated Friday that
he would not pitch any more this
season, after he learned that ev-
cry club in the major leagues had
waived on him. Manager Joe Nc
Carthy of the Yanks changed his
mind late last night, after Pitcher
Vance was rushed to st Elizabeth
hospital
Terrell had won Is and lost
eight games for the Senators this
season. before his unexpected re-
lease Mccarthy believes that
Wesley'S presence with the club
will give the YankS valuable re-
placement for Vance who was
brought in recently from Kansas
City to replace Joe Beggs, who
was sent back to Newark.
