elaborate and this was no excep-
ton. It showed a cowgirl riding
her bronco at the head Of cattle
stampede. To us the picture
meant more. We thought Of a day
last year when a radio broadcast
about Mars caused just such a
scene. The cattle in the picture
are not much different than you
and me. only we call it PANIC.
Someone gives the danger signal
and the fastest runner Is out in
front.
| REAL LEADER
I'm the general run of life, the
apparent LEADER is the one with
the speed and ability to lead that
stampede, but when it is all over
anc everyone is trying to catch
their breath it Is found the REAL
leader is not with them for he
saw no reason for FRIGHT.
The cattle will make a spectacu-
lar. run, some will be hurt but the
LEADER Of the herd is not 50
easily scared He will be found
on the very ground from which
the stampede started Calmly
grazing on the choice grass left
behind.
USE THE HEAD
How true to life that Is, for
RIGHT causes us all to
stampede at times but the
LEADERS in any line usually
step aside and save their breath
and energy for the more import
ant battles. those in which they
use their HEAD instead of their
FEET.

Announcer Jack Dalton repeated
the CANNES safety poem to the chill
dren, who yelled their appreciation:
stop, look and listen before you
i. cross the street,
use your eyes, use your ears and
then use your feet"
The program was opened by Sergt.
Thmoas Heffernan, who praised the
schooIbay patrol for its safety work
and asked the cooperation Of the
children in noting down the license
numbers of automobiles involved in
accidents.
The little wire-haired terrier also
gained a canine recruit In her safety
campaign. AS Knee Hi was trot-
ting through her lessons, another
dog of nondescript breed ran out
into the street, apparently to get
better acquainted with Knee-Hi. DR..
George E. Brunson, Knee HI S
teacher, took the attitude, however,
that Knee-Hi's lessons were intended
for children only and chased the
newly-acquired pupil away.
Knee-Hi is sponsored by The Star.

cles and Traffic.

Nazi planes in force attack Brit ish ships and ports.
 Anyway, the question will be fine tooth -combed here in hear ings on the new appropriation bill to be introduced by Chairman Vinson of the House Naval Af- fairs Committee. In that bill, if only to help defend the Western Hemisphere, the Navy asks to double its airplanes to 5000, mak- ing, with the Army air force, 12,- GOO planes.
 The Navy also will ask for 1l6 new ships. of which 95 will be warships totalling 100000 tons, a % per cent increase. It wants three aircraft carriers, eight cruisers, 52 destroyers, 32 submarines-but no battleships. Not that American eX- perts believe the battleship is now stranded, but that yards are lack ing to build more than the eight al- ready authorized, which will be enough. They will replace old-timers so that by 1914 we will have Is modern and eight oyer-age.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-11-14

Shuttle these back and forth by the Panama Canal from ocean to ocean, and have awaiting them on either side cruisers, destroyers, submarines, planes and auxiliar- ies enough for 5-3 ratio for at tack or 3-5 for defense, and there you have by 1944 an Amer imam Navy four times as powerful as Germany's, three times 1taly's and able to encounter the sub marines that are Russia's princi- pal strength. Japan? Well. the little brown men keep their plans very secret, but, such a navy would be stronger than Japan's.
 Still, for some Congressmen, and others that is not enough. They crave more battleships and, 1t ap- pears, will fight for them. So, im- portant discussions soon will rage over naval policy--and, as matter of course, over national policy. For against whom must this Navy be ready to fight? And whyP And where?

AIR POWER NOT EVERYTHING

Naval strategy has broadened since the days of wooden ships and iron men. Today steel ships are threatened by flying men--so say many of those men themselves and recent experience seems to agree. But hark to our foremost flying tar, Rear Admiral John H. Towers, chief of the Nays Bureau of Aero nautics:
 "The airplane is no panacea for offense and defense. It has Its strength, such as speed, bomb- carrying capacity and elusiyeness; {; but 1t also has its weakness, such as weather handicap, inability to seize and hold land or water areas, great cost and time and ex- pense required to train person. nel. In my opinion any nation which stakes it's all upon winning war against first class nation by air power. is doomed 10 disaster.
 Like doctors, strategists dis agree in diagnosing the case of aircraft versus battleship. The answer Is not yet, but any mo- ment may see 1t revealed when
