Political refugees from Spain are
seeing new homes in Latin-American
countries and receiving friendly signs
of welcome in the Argentine, Mexi-
CO and several other Republics.
The United States has accepted
Brazil as an economic partner, and
will furnish financial backing to that
country. The same opportunities are
open to other Latin-American Repub-
lies that choose to tie up with the Uni
ted States Government.
Admiral William D. Leahy, Chief of
Naval Operations, has expressed an
opinion that has the backing of the
Navy and the Administration. It is
in defense of President Roosevelt's
Good Neighbor Policy, to protect and
preserve traditional American insti-
tutions against "any and all aggres-
sors." With democracy under attack,

wv = e HEAR much today OF the
w "Good Neighbor" policy. One
w of the most encouraging signs
Of the progress of social justice in
the world is the increasing sense Of
responsibility concerning the welfare
Of our fellow beings. Between gov
ernments and nations the "Good
Neighbor" attitude should be en-
couraged. Community welfare cam
paigns often adopt the slogan, "Be a
Good Neighbor." In times of disas-
ter organized agencies spring into
action to alleviate distress regard
less of race, creed, or color. Men
are definitely awakening from cal
lous Indifference to the sufferings Of
others to a desire to relieve these
sad conditions and remove their
causes.
In view of this awakened con-
sciousness we may well ask our
selves, "Just what Is q good neigh
bor?" Jesus eloquently answered
this question In the parable Of the
good Samaritan. But 1t is well to
remember that he prefaced his de-
scription of true neighborliness by
first emphasizing the two great COM
mandments duke 10:27), "Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy strength, and with all
thy mind; and thy neighbour as
myself" Then followed his story
Of the man who fell among thieves
and was left by the roadside in his
distress, and was passed by until
rescued by the Samaritan, who thus
proved himself a good neighbor.
Therefore, in striving to be good
neighbor to ones fellow men one
must start with love for God and
man. Intelligently to love God re-
quires a correct understanding Of
His nature. In the Christian Science
textbook, "Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker Eddy, God Is defined Up. 587)
as "the great / AM; the all-knowing,
all-seeing, all-acting, all-wise, all
loving, and eternal; Principle; Mind;
Soul; Spirit; Life; Truth; Love; all
substance, intelligence" Thus God
must be acknowledged as the only
power and presence, the All Of mans
existence. One must turn to Him in
childlike trust, confident that His
law of ever-operative good is sufh-
cient to meet every human problem.
This is truly loving God supremely.
How easy it is to love the ALLOW
ing God, but how often it seems diff
f1cult to love ones neighbor when
so much that is ENJOYABLE is appar-
emit about him! But is the unlovely
mortal ones real neighbor? The
Bible tells us Genesis 1:27) that

load of debt that had been saddled
upon Germany by the Allies and by
our own super-salesmanship, creating
a burden which the Republic could not
carry? A master had to appear in
Russia, too, because Of debt.
"More than anything that can ever
face us as a nation, this problem de-
serves the united intelligence Of all
parties and all men,"
What happened abroad can happen
here. And no one can miss the omi-
nous parallel that exists between the
course toward dictatorship taken by
the European totalitarian states and
the course we are SO rapidly purusing
ourselves. A staggering debt made
essential the artificial blocked-mark
system of Germany-a staggering
debt could make necessary blocked
dollar" system here. A sharp rise in
nations debt makes inevitable more
and more political control over its
citizens affairs-and that means e.
ventual dictatorship.
Mr.. Helton observes that it is not
yet too late-that we can still save
ourselves as democracy, by drawing
in our belts, facing our issues square

property rights" That was after the
good-fellowship gestures at Lima when
the Monroe Doctrine was on parade as
an exhibit of what the Latin-Ameri-
can Republics might expect in the way
of protection from the big neighbor

- fact that she had beautiful
dreamy eyes and a blond name and
a really lovely figure didn't help
her much, because, in addition to
being the glamourous Nathalie's
impecunious cousin, she was so
nearsighted that she couldn't see her
hand before her face without her
spectacles, and you know about
glasses and men who make passes.
Nathalie was o spoiled brat who
wasn't satisfied to be engaged to
Carter Gates, but had to try to gar
ner every new man that hove into

Nathalie wasn't above haunting
Lefty with the glasses situation and
she wasn't above dragging Lefty
into questionable night spots for
chaperonage, against Letty's will.
Throughout this refined misery.
Lefty remained sweet and forgiving
and unselfish. always willing to look
out for the underdog - like that
time at Ligretti's Inn when she
rescued poor little salesgirl from
the frightening-looking men she
was with and saw her safely home.
Yes, Lefty was docile until Carter
Gates friend Jim Abbott came to
visit the town. When Lefty realized
that Nathalie was up to her old
tricks, she did a desperate thing.
She left off her spectacles for the
Junior Circle dance. It turned out
that Lefty was q great beauty with.
out her glasses and that didn't suit
Nathalie q bit.
Then Nathalie's father took q
hand. He made Nathalie wear o pair
Of glasses for q week, just to find
out how It felt.

to do it. Il made her rebellious and

happened. The thug slapped her.
That was how Nathalie lost her front

Besides, Jim Abbott had just an

to prove his case.

FRANCIS YOUNG FISHES
UP VERY NOVEL FUNNEL

Mr.. Francis E. Young picked up in
the Pocomoke River one day this week
quite curiosity in the way of a
wooden funnel. 1t measures 4 inches
across the top. The sides are straight
for about inches and then turn in
on a bevel for an inch and a half to
the spout which tapers from an inch
down to one half inch to the end,
about 5 inches.
Not many who saw it had ever seen
the like of it, but some of the older
heads claim to have seen them used
in connection with cider presses and
it's possible the manufacture of some
thing still stronger than cider may
have taken advantage of it's wooden
material instead of tin or copper.
1t must have been in the water for
some time, but had not absorbed
enough to make it sink. Since it has
begun to dry out, it has developed a
crack on the bowl which seems to
grow wider 20 the funnel driss out.

"Chirps" ~
from the
Democrats Pen

Well, Sir, the ball season for the
Eastern Shore League opened up last
week-that is, for some of the clubs;
for others, it opened down, Pocomoke
being in the latter class; she's consid-
erablv down, and the fans are down.
hearted, too. But there's hardly a
situation that hasn't saving grace,
and Pocomoke's place near the bot
tom could be considered, if one is so
disposed, as a strategic one-she has
room to expand, to rise, to better her
standing. It wouldn't be that way if
she were at the top. That's one way
of looking at the situation.
I saw the opening game here last
week. It certainly was unfortunate
that it was Friday; you see, the an
ticipation of that hoodoo opening date
made the boys fly in the air, in the
first inning on Thursday up in Fed
eralsburg-seven runs were the result
of the balloon ascension, and they
haven't come down yet-not at this
writing.
There was a finger in the box,
opening day here by the name OF Val
entine. Blest if he wasn't of the comic
variety. There is one thing about
him, however, he was certainly cour-
teous to the visitors; he presented
them with five home runs, before he
was yanked. I don't see why, hough;
if he had staid in, the Caroline boys
might have gotten some more, and
thus gone home with increased ap-
probation of Pocomoke's hospitality.
How-some-ever, it takes more than
one swallow to wet your throat
sometimes it takes more than
one ball game to lose a pennant. When
Luce went in to take up the job, he
certainly gave good account of him
self and there are others.
