HOLIDAYS ON MONDAY

We are unable to report any pro- gress whatever on the bill of Sena
 tor Johnson of Colorado to make all holidays fall on Monday. The idea, of course, was to make longer week ends. Part of the trouble is that Senator Johnson wrote in the bill a proviso that whenever Thanks giving Day occurs on any other day than Monday" is shall be skipped over so as to have it celebrated on the nearest Monday. It was grand fun asking the Coloradoan how often Thanksgiving fell on Monday

''Black Empire
Next Week

A tale that rivals even those
of Poe, and yet a tale that is a
factual piece of history, comes to
the stage of the WPA Federal
Theatre beginning next Tuesday
when the famed Negro Repertory
Company present Christine ,Ames'
"Black Empire" in a week of even
ing performances only.
Taking as its background the
troubled land of Haiti, with its
voodoo, its bloodshed, its lust for
life, it's polygot mixture of races
and ideals and religions, BLACK
Empire" traces the meteoric his
tory of Henri Christophe, son of
an African king, one-time slave
and later emperor and absolute
monarch of Haiti and it's people.
His ambitions, his cruelties, his
ideals for his people, and his final
death and encouragement, all are
woven together against a compell-
ing background of love, voodoo
and war in the time of Napoleon.
One of the largest casts Fed
eral Theatre has ever assembled
on one stage take part in this
fast-paced drama. Direction is by
Miss Esther Porter, recently come
to the project from New York
City.

Parent Education

Parent Education, a division of
the adult education program spon-
sored throughout the city by the
Seattle Public Schools, assisted by
the Works Progress Administra-
ton, boasts a staff of IL teachers.
The head teacher of this division
states that the old idea that par
ents know by intuition how to
train children is out-dated. Today
the modern child has to make
twenty times as many adjustments
to new life situations as his par
ents had to make. In order to
guide children in making these ra-
pid adjustments, parents must
know how to use the right atti-
tudes, skills, and techniques. Par
ent education is concerned with
preventive guidance rather than
remedial measures.
She goes on to say that parent
hood is the most responsible job
in the world. 1t challenges all
the mental, physical and emotional
resources known to mankind. 1t is
the only profession practiced with
out professional training.
Parent education classes now of
fer the opportunity to get training
on the job for the most exacting
profession on earth. The East
Madison classes are held on the
various days of the week at the

Delivering the Founders Day
address at Hampton Institute, the
Right Rev. Henry st. George
Tucker, newly elected Presiding
Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal
Church of the United States,
pointed out some reasons why
Christianity seems to be a failure
in the world of strife.
Speaking, obviously, with the
present unsettled world conditions
IN his mind, and voicing a ques-
ton which he said st. Paul tried
to answer, How can human life
be saved?" Bishop Tucker used
for his text Pauls conclusion -
by grace are we saved through
faith" (Ephesians, Chapter two,
verse eighth
Moving to a broad explanation
of Christianity's detectives and
value, he showed that men are
putting too little into their Christ
ian performance. He said:
Isn't that why Christianity so
often seems to be a failure? We
go and spend an hour at Christ
ian service; we make moments
prayer or read our Bible; and then
we sit down compacently and feel
that because of what we have done
the doors of the treasury of Heav-
en- are going to be opened and it's
treasure poured into our laps.
Isn't it true that if the Church
is not making its impress upon the
world today it is because Christ
ians have withheld their faith
from Gods offer of grace? They
have only part of themselves,
whereas He demands that, if His
grace is going to work through
us, we place upon His altar all
we have. While what we have to
give may not seem of any worth,
it is only as we give all our life
is capable of that God is going to
take our life and make anything

Federal Purchase
Advocated

Wendell L. Willkie, president of
the Commonwealth and Southern
Corporation, operating electric
utilities in the Southeast, recently
proposed that the Federal govern
ment purchase all of it's subsid-
iaries, which are faced with COM
petition from the subsidized Ten
nessee Valley Authority, to save
the investors in these companies
from ultimate ruin. He described
his proposal as "the last resort in
desperate situation"
Shortly after that, a director
of the IVA issued statement,
in which he attempted to minimize
the potential damage threatening
the heavily taxed, stringently reg
ulated, privately owned operating
companies by government financ-
ed, practically tax-eXempt IVA
competition. He proposed, in eff
feet, that the Commonwealth and
Southern's ditribution system be
sold to municipalities wishing to
use IVA power, at prices to be
obtained under threat of dupIica-
ton with the Federal funds; that
some of the transmission lines and
some of the private hydro plants
be sold to IVA at TWAS own Of
fering price, and that the balance
of the property be retained by
the companies-even though the
market for their power was either
eliminated or so removed as to
make economical operation impos-
sible. There, stripped of pretty
prases, is the solution IVA Of
