Thoughts for the Day
THE CLASS OF 1850
ANSWERS THE BELL

Next week the Glass of 1850 will start
to school in Imperial Valley. Many MEM
bers of the class already have answered
their first bell These first graders will
enter a new world, world of books and
classrooms and teachers. They will be
armed only with a pencil, tablet and
their wits Their universe, hitherto cen
tered about their home, suddenly will
get another center, the schoolhouse; and
for at least II years the two centerS
will share domination. An horizon hith-
erto limited to their home and yard and
playmates. will suddenly be broadened
to take in the school and hundreds of fell
low pupils. For some the horizon later
will grow to take in the state, the nation
and the world. Others will never be able
to see beyond their first limited horizon,
although they may travel around the
globe.
All over the nation, all over the world,
the picture is the same Youngsters with
swastika flags are starting to their first
class in Berlin, apple checked young
Britishers are buying their first tablets
and little Pierre and Marie are starting
to school in France. With frightened
eyes because of the strangeness of the
new world, they will receive their first
full taste of RECOMMENDATION. Although en-
wing them the adventures ahead, we
can't help but feel a little sorry for
them In the space of II short years
these Youngsters must absorb as much
as they can of all the knowledge the hu-
man race has gathered together in its
history! What has taken century after
century to -amass, they must cram into
little heads more interested in marbles
and tops, in only few hundred days.
They will need this information. They
will need every particle, every drop of
knowledge they can absorb, every bit OF
culture for the race that comes when
they face the world alone.
What kind of world will the Glass
of 1850 find when its members leave
the schoolroom? Twelve years from now
a kind man with spectacleS will hand
them diplomas and wish them good luck.
Will that kind man add under his breath
because you'll need it!?" Will these
graduates leave their cloistered halls
to face a world emaciated from another
war, bankrupt and broken, weakly and
YEARLY trying to raise itself up from
a postwar depression more hideous than
the last? Will they leave the campus
to join breadline?
Let us hope not. More than hope,
however, is needed, for on the present
generation rests the fate of the next. AS
one long step toward preserving the
world for the Class of 1850, let us stay
out of war!

would like to know the answers.
Here they are:
/. wonder if the man applying
to me for this job is industriousP
2. If l hire him, wonder if he
will be loyal to me, and to our
organization?
3. Has he got initiative, or will
have to keep spurring him on?
4. Will he be good team-worker
and fit in with our organization?
5. He says he left his last job
voluntarily. I wonder if this is
true
6. If l hire him, will he stay with
us, or will he grow restless and
fit away to some other company?
These questions are buzzing in
your prospective employers mind
Perhaps you shouldn't always try
to answer them directly; but you
can say certain things which will
give him the indirect answers, and
make him want to employ you.
And remember that your sole task
in securing employment is just this
alone, making the employer WANT
to hire you.
If you are going to look for a
job, read this again. Study it then
answer these questions for your
prospective employer in that ten
minutes you are seated before him.
You are not looking for position?
All right. But haven't you friend,
or relative, who is? If SO, why
not clip this out and pass it along
to him? He may thank you some

I shall never forget my first visit
to a big city. 1t was in 1907 was
nineteen years old at the time and
had always lived on farm. War
rensburg State Teachers College
at Warrensburg, Missouri, had sent
me as its official representative to
a conference. Naturally, II had to
pass through the city of st. Louis.
A cousin of mine, Newton Alexan-
der, was then working as stenog-
rapher in a hospital conducted by
the Frisco Railroad. I spent the
evening with him in his furnished
room. He spoke of going to the
park on Sunday. I was amazed
at the thought of anyone wanting
to spend time merely roaming
around out of doors. I thought all
the city people went down town
on Sunday to see the big buildings.
That's the thing I wanted to do.
I had lived among trees and open
fields all my life. They meant Moth
ing to me. I could hardly believe
him when he said that city people
took walks in the country on Sun
days.
Today 1 know nothing which
faScinates me more than to take a
walk in the country.

LURE OF POWER

(Riverside Press)
Mr.. Landon, in his newspaper articles
on his campaign for the presidency,
says he has never regretted for a MOI
ment his failure to attain that great Of
flee. Two other unsuccessful aspirants
make the same avowal.
Doubtless they are sincere. Unsuceess-
full candidates nearly always seem to
feel a sense of relief after the contest is
over. Observation of the immense mass
of work, the great responsibility and
mental and physical strain under which
a president labors, is enough to make
almost any normal man breathe a great
sigh of relief that he is free from that
burden.
And yet ambition is strange bug,
which sometimes bites again and again.
The lure of high office grows as con-
vention and election time approaches
and the fires of competition burn bright
er. And it is observable that, with all
the toll and grief of the job, incumbents
are seldom cheerful about leaving it..
Honor and power are hard to relinquish.

A BLOCKADE FOR
BALTIMORE

christian Science Monitor)
In the story of his youth, Joseph Con-
rad recalls the shaky beginning of a
voyage out east in a leaky coal-laden
bark, the Judea of London, and how her
half-mutinous crew forced the captain
to put back to port. Only they didn't call
it mutiny. The shipping column merely
said: Arrived at Falmouth, bark Judea
of London, crew refusing duty
Someone with a perspective broad
enough to see beyond the miXed-up emo
tions of these turbulent times, might find
the making of an even more appealing
tale than Conrad's in this item tucked
away in today's shipping column: De-
tanned at Baltimore, S. S. Titanian of
Bergen, crew on strike. In this case, the
crew is refusing duty not to save their
own lives but in protesting the destruc-
tion of thousands of others. The Titanian
is loaded with 5000 tons of munition-
making chemicals consigned to the Span
ish 1nsurgent port of Bilbao.
What is the use? many may ask. The
captain will find another crew willing to
take the stuff to Bilbao. That is beside
the point. The tale Will not concern them.
1t will be about the crew refusing duty,
the men who were able to see that their
way to help put the fire out is to refuse
to throw fuel on the flames.

Bruce Cation Says
- The Earth Refuses to be Vietimized

MANY varieties of wild life; restore
the beaver, and you restore to
given locality a whole wealth of
wild life whose existence depends,
in the last analysis, on the activities
of those energetic little furcoated
engineers.
And the story points its own
moral. Natures balance provides
the environment in which we our
selves have to live. Only II we
understand how it works, and make
certain that we do not disturb it
more than we need to, can we
enjoy earth's yield to the full.
When we exploit nature too ruth
lessly, we ourselves are the ulti-
mate losers.
Imperial Valley press., 1938-09-15
Famous Sayings

A little while ago conservation
authorities went TO the beaver for
help. Several colonies of these in
dustrious creatures were planted in
various parts of the west, the idea
being that their dam-building ac-
tivities would help in flood and
erosion control. +
Just how well this will work out
is something only the future can
tell. But the experiment will be
well worth the cost if it impreSses
on us the queer, fascinating way
in which nature maintains her
balance. For it is mortally easy for
laundering, thoughtless man to up
set that balance, and he usually
does SO at his own cost.
A glimpse of the way the beaver
fits into this natural balance is
provided by recent bulletin from
William H. Carr, director of the
Bear Mountain Trailside Museums
in New York.
Eighteen years ago, Mr.. Carr
recalls, three pairs of beavers were
released in Bear Mountain State
Park, which is some 40 miles north
of New York City. BY now there
are several hundred of their de-
scendants, scattered in more than
60 colonies spread over a 30-mile
radius.
Now the point is that because
this park area has beavers, it has
various other forms of wild life
which it did not have before. The
beaver ponds, for instance, have
furnished new breeding grounds fol
various kinds of fish. Wood ducks
which were formerly listed as ex-
tremely scarce, are now common
The rare pileated woodpecker has
also increased-because the stand
ing trees killed by the flooding OF
the ponds provide him with his
favorite stamping ground.
But that is only part of it. Soon
er or later, every beaver pond is
abandoned. It's dam goes to pieces
and its water drains out But the
ponds bed is composed of rich
fertile soil, carried downstream a:
silt and dropped when the beaver
dam backed up the water. AnC
where the pond was, a rich meadow
comes to life.
Reeds, grasses, and bushes spring
up; before long trees take root
Here is "cover" for songbirds anc
game birds; a little later, such
creatures as muskrats, raccoons anc
skunks find the spot a good feed
ing ground. AS the number of such
thickets increase, deer begin tC
appear.
All of this is a fascinating ex-
ample of the way natures balance
works. Take out the beaver, ano
you pull the props from under

money on the hoof'' is the bane of
some Central African tribes, says Sir
Daniel Hall in a London lecture Cattle
are money to the tribesmen. They do not

increase their herds as much as possible
and use them only in swapping for wives
and as means of ostentation bringing
them prestige"
The practice is not merely foolish, it is
destructive. Those useless herds strip
the grasslands bare; then when the own
