|DR. .SEABURY TALKS
 AT CHURCH FORUM
"HeIp Yourself ot Happi- ness" Theme of Noted
 Psychologists Talk

Help Yourself to Happiness" was the subject of Dr. David Seabury, noted psychologist at the weekly forum of the Second Congregational church last night. He gave practical suggestions of on how to be happy in world torn with bloodshed.
 He pointed out that happiness comes spontaneously when one finds himself and loses his misery.
 While on the subject of war, the speaker said: "The greatest danger of war coming here does not lie in U-boats. nor in the sinking of our ships, but rather in the type of neg ativity that Americans get into when things seem to be in a frenzy.
 He urged that every one can avoid worry over war news by avoiding suggestibility Of becoming annoyed, by avoiding thought of trouble where there isn't any, and by avoid ing getting into a fighting spirit.
 Contending that the armistice only brought about @ secession of bloodshed, not secession of hatred, Dr. seabury said the European war resulted from lack of mutual aid among countries and the lack of Christianity in the countries in- volved.

 Wait for Compensation

Hartford, Conn, Nov. 13.-Quit- ting 8 job without notice and leay- ing town on the night before the wedding is perhaps the easiest way to remain single, but 1t is not ne. cessarily the easiest way to secure unemployment compensation. These facts were borne out today in rul- ing of Curtiss K. Thompson, un- employment commissioner of the third congressional district.
 In his decision which was for- warded 70 Labor Commissioner Cornelius J. Danaher, Thompson de- cided that the employe could re- ceive compensation, but would be ing period because he left his posi- forced to accept an extended wait tion without sufficient cause.

 NAVAL RECRUITS
10000 Need to Meet Re. quirements of Present
 Expansion Program

A huge increase In naval aviation and mechanics will occur during the present naval expansion to man the 2500 planes to be operated by the niUted States Navy. This will require an aviation force of some 25 900 men in that branch of the service. To man and operate the new planes more than 10000 new men will be necessary. These will be chosen from young men enlisting in the U. s. Navy for general service, proviindg that they can meet the rigid physi- cal and mental requirements, and prove successful in the competitive examinations with other applicants for this type of duty. It has been es- timated that 1t requires ten men in the ground crew to keep one plane in active service. Some of the ratings to be filled by men trained in the Navy are: Aviation naachinist's s mates, ordnancemen, metalsmiths, carpenters, and radiomen. Several hundred enlisted men will also train yearly at Pensacola. Fla, where the Navy has a naval aviation training base and maintains schools to be- come naval aviation pilots.
 The plane manufacturing and civil aviation in the United States re- quires thousands of additional men in their plants. This will provide excellent jobs for men trained by Navy schools and service upon their discharge from service.

Peace Negotiations
 Needed, Says Walker
Second Church Pastor Claims Roosevelt Can Do No
 Better Than Rededicate People to Cause of Peace

Tt has been said that democracy is the conviction that there are ex- traordinary possibilities if ordinary people" stater Rev. pr. John C. Walker, pastor of the Second Con-
 gregational church, in his sermon The Common Thing in the Uncom- mon Way yesterday morning.
 Dr. Walker said in part; Jesus quite certainly held by that convic- ton. His disciples were not the promising young men from the best families in Jerusalem. They were not recruited from the rabbinical schools. The disciples of Jesus were, at least so 1t must have appeared to indifferent observes, a motley com- pany of workmen, fishmen, small town people. But Jesus, having this sublime faith in the common man and an unique appeal to the best in him, called forth from the com- mon ways of life men who became the spiritual giants of the First Cen- ttry of the Christian Era. St. Peter and St. John, fishermen from the shores of Galilee, became with St. Paul, the most powerful and influ- ential men of their day. The names of the emporers who reigned in their day are names in historical text- books but Peter and John and Paul are names of power and influence even unto this day and hour.
 Conviction Confirmed
 There are indeed extraordinary possibilities in ordinary people. No one in the long history of man ever more clearly perceived those pos- abilities or used them to more fruit full advantage than did Jesus. Other men, however, confirm this funda- mental Christian conviction. Rich- ard Wagner said that "all great art is produced in response to e common and collective need on the part of the community" The great cathedrals of Europe were erected to the glory of God and by the united effort and purpose of the common people. You ask in vain for the name of architect or archi- tects in most cases. Those cathe- drals were, to an amazing degree, the composite work of many archi- tects and 8 great host of common but devoted craftsmen laboring over generations and centuries to com- plete the work.
 Yesterday was Armistice Day. Those of us who are of mature years will recall the immense relief that welled up in the hearts of the peo- ples of the world on that November day some twenty-one years ago yes- terday. We remember, some of us. tears streaming down peoples faces. We remember the vast and valiant hopes that men cherished then of 8 new world order. We remember the solemn promises men in high estate had made to the bud-en- crusted, bloodstained men in the trenches, to the fathers and mothers
