Courageous as was the action of Chancellor Schuschnigg in ordering a plebiscite on the question of Aus trian independence he played right into the hands of Hitler. It may be that the Austrian Chancellor felt that Great Britain, France and Italy could exert extreme measures. If SO, he was badly deceived.

"IF ONLY"

 7 Charles A. Heath in Harbor Springs Republican If only had eyes to see My circumstances in life, Where I was spared adversity Where danger too was rife; Yet unaware went on my way Without concern or care, Would not still give thanks today For what escaped me there. If only had ears to hear My widowed Mothers prayer Above her brood with love and fear Lest ill betide us there, Would I not listen long awhile In gratitude alway To learn the secret of her smile When came Thanksgiving day If only had time to weigh The good there is about And follow every sun-kissed ray Since heaven sent it out, Clothing the fields around the earth To nurture maxwell say Who would not bow before such worth And give some thanks today

In New York
By GEORGE ROSS

New York, March 15-This is by way of report on the state of the Ballet. For there have been lots of developments since impresarios dis covered a golden field for La Danse in almost every fair-sized city of the 48 states.
 To bring matters up to date-the Metropolitan Opera House Spon- sored a ruinous tour of the famous Diaghileff troupe about 20 years ago and the red ink story of that ven- ture can be told, despite the per formance of the incompatible Mi jinsky, simply as: deficit-$300 000. That soured promoters on the ballet until four years ago when the sur prising s. Hurok imported the Ballet Russo de Monte Carlo under the management of a former Cossack commander named Col. w. de Basil.
 Promptly this became nation of "balletomanes" or ballet fans and wherever Col. de Basil took his huge troupe he pulled down circus size crosses. The first season the ballet brought in gross of close to $1,000,000 and it has improved on that steadily.
 But wealth proved to be the apple of discord. The ballet magnates split into two factions. Col. de Basil left the Hurok management and teamed up with the operatic inn presario Fortune Gallo. Hurok then took Leonide Massine, the great choreagropher, away from De Basil and told him to organize a ballet , troupe.
 It looked like war. Then came the recession. Now secret confer ences are being held to seal the breach, for Art is all that matters and anyhow there probably wouldn't be enough money for two big ballet companies. Whether or not the merger takes place, the weirdeSt ballet of all time is sched- uled for presentation next season by the Hurok-Massine troupe. It is Tristan Fou," which Salvatore Dali, the surrealist, is writing to a melange of the music of Richard Wagner and Cole Porter. Harpo Marx-yes, Harpo Marx-has of fered to dance the leading role. Springs Shock Troops
 Just few more days and spring will be here and that means that George Hamid swings into a perfect fury of activity. Hamid is the for mer Arabian tumbler who now has almost a monopoly on acts booked for county fairs and carnivals. Par ticularly those stunts which include 75 feet leaps into bathtubs filled with water, dives through flaming hoops, teeter stunts at dizzying heights or tightrope walking and tumbling at fool-hardy distances from comfortable terra firma.
 Hamid was a daredevil once him. self but he noticed that booking agents managed to stay in one piece even if their clients did not and booking became his field of en- | deavor. Year after year he has been forced to import more and more dangerous stunts until virtual ly all of his acts are the daring or shock type.
 Sometimes when Sauk Center telegraphs him for couple of death defying leapers, he means for the good old days when the public wanted something less than homi- eide for it's dime admission. But someone has to fill the demand, SC Hamid sends out his acts with 8 prayer and blessing. They'll be trouping out your way now thai the green is getting ready to poke through the midway.

Friends of the Radio Audience:
One year ago it was my privilege to broadcast re-

done and what we hope to do in the future.

the community Aside from learning to read the blue
prints and learning to cut the patterns machinery
they take pride in seeing to it that the job is we'll done
In other words, pride in workmanship is developed
This is true Of the girls of the Home Economic De-

home-such cooking breakfast for the family for "A
month"; cleaning the house for definite length of time

the teacher often she and she nstrucs them in
carrying out these projects properly.
think of no greater service school could rem
der the community than training these boys and girls
work with their hands, and do we'll the job in hand
We have long been of the opinion that boys should
have training in Home Economics and that girls
should have rudmentary instruction in manual training
She should be able TO SAW to line, hit nail the
head and drive straight while the boys should be able
to cook good breakfast dinner without giving himself

Democratic ticket has gained consid-
cradle prestige over the weekend,
with Herbert R. O'Conor, candidate
for Governor, lambasting his oppon-
ent, Gov. Harry Whinna Nice, from
every angle and important Republi-
can leaders renouncing allegiance to
the G. o. P. slate.
O'Conor, speaking in Montgomery
County at series of rallies vigor-
ously attacked the financing Of the
state highway system and stated in
no uncertain terms his determined OPP
position to lotteries and other ques-
tionable methods of raising revenue.
The Democratic nominee also said
that he is against both a sales tax
and tax on gross receipts. "If / am
elected Governor will veto these two
plans if the Legislature should dare
to enact them"
Meanwhile both Democratic fac
tons in Montgomery County are
tremendously engaged in making
plans to get out the vote November
8. Several of the prominent leaders of
both elements of the party claimed
that "never before have the Demo-
Gratis been so united.
H. B. Mellen, president of the
Young Republican Club of Montgom-
cry County, this week, announced his
resignation and intended support Of
the Democratic party. State Senator
o. Straughn Lloyd, of Wicomico
County, Republican whip and minor
ity floor leader in the last session of
the State Legislature, has definitely
deserted Nice and come out for
O'Conor. Other riffs in the G. o. P.
ranks are rumored.
At the last session of the County
Commissioners an attempt was made
to abolish the Office of Supervisor of
County Aid. The move was tabled
through the action of the Democratic
members of the board. Commissioner
Clay Plummer issued the following
statement in behalf of the majority
action:
81 regret very much that Commits
sioner Coughlan has seen fit to play
politics with public misery. He has
done this by attempting to abolish the
office of Supervisor of County Aid,
just two weeks before an election in
which he is a candidate to succeed
himself on the Republican ticket.
81 have always been in favor of
consolidation of the relief agencies of
Montgomery County. The Democratic
party platform, to which am
pledged, promises to carry out this
reform. AS soon as the details have
been worked out to allow this trans
fer to be effectively made l, myself,
expect to make the motion, as County
Commissioner, to bring about this
change.
However, l am against disruptinfi
the service of these agencies at this
time to further Republican publicity.
Mr.. Coughlan, Republican, has had
four years in which to bring about
any change which he might feel
necessary, and he now says tina the
desires to accomplish this in the last
two weeks before election. The mo-
ton which he made was to abolish an
Office which handles Seventy Thous-
and ($7O,Ooo.00) Dollars of relief
money. There was no plan suggested
by him for the handling of that
money.
