THE NEW MODERN POWER

Probably few new developments of
late years have caught hold of popu-
lar imagination as the Diesel engine,
often called the modern motor pow
er. While the performance records
of the Diesel engines on American
railroads are in themselves notable
accomplishments, the Diesel engine
is something more than a dramatic
source of power. II is a symbol.
The progress in Diesel development
is a vivid demonstration of how Am
erican initiative and enterprise func-
tions to enlarge the industrial hori-
service to the public and the creation
of new jobs and new opportunities
by the familiar process of replacing
the old with the new.
In fact. out of the development of
the Diesel was born the Diesel loco
motive plant of Electro-Motive Cor
poration of General Motors which
might be termed a depression-born
industry, for il was during the re-
cent depression years that this COM
pany was organized and started man
the Diesel motive power
for railroads.
So il is believed that the complete
3 3.600-hOrsepower. streamlined Diesel
locomotive which will be displayed at
the General Motors exhibit. "High-
ways and Horizons" at the New
York Worlds Fair. will afford mil
lions an opportunity to see. many for
the FIRST time. this marvellous appli-
cation of modern power.

New Organ Is Dedicated
At First Methodist Church
Large Congregation Present Sunday Morning
Organ Is Gift of Mrs. James c. Cooper to Con-
gregation; Music Program at Night

A new pipe organ was dedicated
at the First Methodist church Sun
day morning, with the minister, Rev.
Robert E. Brown, and the congrega-
ton participating in the ritualistic
service incident to the ceremony. The
organ, understood to have cost
around $4,000, is the gift to the
church of Mrs. James c. Cooper, Of
Henderson.
The new organ displaces one that
has been in use for some 80 years
or more, and which was brought
from the old church across the street
when the congregation moved into
the present church edifice in 1929,
ten years ago next fall.
Two anthems were given by the
choir as part Of the impressive morn
ing service, and Rev. Mr. Brown
preached a sermon that was approp-
riate both for the dedication Of the
organ and for the observance of
Mothers Day in the church.
In the evening a special program
of music, consisting almost entirely
Of old hymns of Christianity, was
given. There was no sermon at that
service.
Both in the forenoon and in the
evening the congregations were

Jewish Funds

Gus Roth, retired merchant, is
contracting a number OF citizens IN
the interest of a fund for the United

ters to a list of friends explaining
the purpose Of the undertaking and
soliciting any assistance they may

ed itself to raise $4,000 in support
of the program, and concludes: I'm
the spirit of the American tradition
of aiding all victims Of disaster,

ception of the Nazi crisis the agen-
cies participating in the United

these victims Of persecution with

Miss Kelly
Gives Extra
Term Reasons

Miss Sue Kelly, principal Of West
End school, today set forth her rea-
sons for operating the school an ad-
ditional month, with sessions during
the morning, the costs of the school
to be betrayed by parents of the
children attending.
The following is Miss Kelly's
statement:
Eight months is not long enough
to do our school work as it should
be done. We can cover the ground
but there is no time to strengthen
the weak places. Then, too, in four
months vacation the children for
get so much.
"The type of work done in high
school and college will depend
ldrgely on the foundation laid in
the Primary and Grammar grades.
West End parents desire the very
best preparation for their children,
therefore, we are planning to con-
tinue our entire school for another
month. Parents realize that even
the best pupils need more time to
get the best liquidation, and unless
the weak pupils have more time,
they will not be able to do good work
next year, and this weakens the
entire grade. When our children
enter college they will have to-
compete with many students from
schools that run nine and often ten
months. For this reason even our
best students on entering college,
find that they are one or two years
behind, and SO are unable to get the
greatest good from college
"The teachers are willing to
teach this extra month for a small
salary that they may better prepare
the children for the next grades.
Children not promoted will be al
lowed to continue if they so desire.
Also those not able to pay will be
provided for. Our chief plan and
desire is to strengthen those pro-
noted, SO they will be able to do
better, and more independent work
next year. This is an excellent
time to add an extra month, for
the teachers know the weak places
OF each child
"But some one may say els this
extra month fair to the children
from the other schools?" Would you
;ay your child cannot bring his
books home at night and prepare
his lessons because by so doing he
might get ahead of some one that
will not study at night? Surely
not! This extra month is not to

grade, but to fit the good pupils for
better work next year, and to help
make the weak pupils strong and
this strengthen the entire grade
II few here and there cannot at

motion.
MANY parents have expressed
their appreciation of the sacrifice the
teachers are making, and are eager
for their children to avail them
selves Of this opportunity for better
preparation for next year. We have
been gratified with the cooperation
we have received.
"Our plan is to be in school from
$3.50 to 1890. This will give the
children the afternoons to them
selves"
