 Nothing Found
 Searchers on the gasboat North Light. which returned late Satur- day night from Doty's Cove section, covered the area thoroughly in the vicinity of Point Arden on the south shore and also stretches on the east shore of Glass Peninsula. They found nothing.
 Alex Holden may utilize his wheel-cquipped Fairchild for an aerial survey should the weather break clear. His plane several years ago was used for photographing purposes.
 Out on the scene now conduct ing land parties on timber criis- ing method, supplanting the aerial search which has been generally abandoned, are J. P. Williams, Ken Nelson, Howard Hayes, Ralph Rel schl, Gene Weschenfelder, Albert Goetz, c. O. Barber, Anthony Thomas. Robert Conine, and James oswald on the Brandt. In addition there is on the craft crew of eight under Captain Olson and mate L. J. Collins.

Effective Stroteoy

While it is to be neither expected
nor desired that American youth
should refrain from critical appraisal
OF the merits of the worlds political
ldeologles, the convulsions of the
American Youth Congress over the
efforts of some of it's members to
take an official position in condem-
nation of Fascism, Nazi-ism and
communism would seem to be an ex-
cellent illustration of dissipating
energies and wasting opportunities.
10 those Americans who think
seriously and with greatest honesty
OF all the ideologies it is so obvious
as to be incontrovertible that that of
democracy is infinitely superior to
all the lSms, singly or in toto. Now it
is equally a fact that the democratic
ldeology is a positive one, a formula
which draws none of it's strength
from the exercise of destructive tao
tics toward conflicting theories but
rather which grows greater as it's
rules of full intellectual and political
freedom are allowed to prevail.
The American Youth Congress can
help the democratic theology grow
stronger by encouraging the Nations
youth to seek its objectives by clear
thinking, by the labor of hand and
brain, by a willingness to earn as we'll
as to receive.
For in these habits of life may be
found not only individual prosperity
but the spiritual and economic good
health of the Nation.
To whatever degree the Youth Con-
gress can stimulate its membership
and those who know of it's work to
the true application of these prin-
ciples of democracy by just that
much will it serve it's purpose best.
And in the doing it will be dealing

The Non-Union Worker

LIN AeecAC ueClSlOH OF Cne Sixth
Circuit Court, which described as
illegal and unfair in effect" the pro-
cedure followed by the National
Labor Relations Board in ordering a
union election among the 5000 en-
ployes OF the Consumers Power Com
pany, raises an important question
winch cannot be answered merely by
denouncing the Labor Board for
allegedly seeking to favor one union
as against another.
A tabulation of the ballots cast in
the first election in this case showed
that l,l6O workers voted for a C. 10.
union and 1,072 for an A. F. of L,
union, while sos employees wanted no
union at all. Under those circum-
stances, the Board, at the request of
the G. 1. O., ordered a run-off cleo
ton, the question being phrased SO
that the employees, if they wanted to
be represented at this time by any
union, had to accept the C. I. o. OF
that procedure, the court, in unani-
nous opinion, said: THE employe
was not given full freedom of choice.
II he voted, he could either ratify or
reject the nominee of the Board, but
II he rejected it he was through"
1t may be inferred from the courts
decision that the judges felt that the
Labor Board had acted unfairly in
dropping the A. F. of L. from the
run-off ballot, and it is possible that
II the choice had been restricted to
one of the two unions, the A. F. of L.
might have received enough votes
from among the sos employees who
originally opposed any union to win
the run-off. But the Board has fol-
lowed this procedure consistently.
and IN the long run it should prove
as fair to one union as to the other,
II the A. F. of L. is prejudiced in one
case, it might we'll be advantaged in
another.
1t follows, then, that the real vic
TINS OF the procedure are the non-
union employees, representing in this
case some twenty per cent of the
total, and it is difficult to see how
the ballot in run-off election could
have been phrased to assure for
them that full freedom of choice"
mentioned by the court.
These employees, it is true, are a
minority, but it may we'll be cues
toned whether they should be
frozen out" until such time as one
union is able to command a clear
majority among all employees, includ-
ing those who favor other unions
and those who are opposed to any
union. If that principle were to be
applied to this case, the Board would
have to defer a new election until
such time as 1t had reason to be-
lieve one Of the two unions had ac-
quired such majority. And at that
time, the question should still be pre-
sented so that adherents of both
unions, as we'll as those opposing any
union, could record their choice

Diplomatic Labor Pains

No child OF diplomacy ever sur
vived greater labor pains in the
process of birth than the three
months-old attempt to fashion an
Anglo-Franco-Russian non aggres-
sion alliance. Time and again the
old Triple Entente has been reported
on the verge of proclamation, only
to have some sudden complication
turn up and frustrate it.
Yesterday it was Soviet demands
that London and Paris found unde-
batable. Today would see Chamber
lain and Daladier in the role of sup
plants for concessions unpalatable
to Moscow. For weeks the pivotal
question was whether the British
and French were willing to guaran-
tee the whole of the U. S. S. R., in
Guiding Far Eastern territory, in ex-
change for Russian readiness to safe
guard the entire British and French
empires. What effect such a pact
might have upon Japan-whether it

shine. Moral re-armament is a positive
force which is remaking men and nations,
and is the only force I know of that is
adequate to meet the fast advancing
enemy Of chaos. Thousands are find
ing In 1t the answer to fear, the answer
for broken homes, and the conflict be-
tween classes and nations. Moral re-
armment has as its program the building
OF new world, by changing the people
in it. Along with the huge citizens meet
ings for moral re-armament in Madison
Square Garden and Constitution Hall,
Washington, call went out to the posi-
tive forces in every walk of life to unite
against the real enemy Our President
sent that call around the world as he
urged the nations to re-arm morally
Secretary of War Woodring said: Moral
re-armament deepens and strengthens
that love of country without which no
nation is secure"
1t is the beginning. I feel that
great battle is ahead if we are to win in
this fight against chaos, and will demand
all that every man, woman and child
has to give. And every one can have a
part AS our people see that this battle
for peace is the greatest battle of all
time, they are responding with greater
sacrifice than they did during the World
War. Already some have sold heirlooms,
and given of their savings to advance this
battle. All the money and man-power
which goes into fireworks, if turned into
building new lives, a new nation and
gaining real freedom, could transform
the nations in few months, and might
be the thing which would prevent war
People will sacrifice when they see
cause big enough to sacrifice for.

Encouraging Aggression

Neutrality action that has the ef-
feet of lending encouragement to ag-
gressor nations is fraught with dan
ger to all the world-and what is
dangerous to the world is dangerous
to America, however isolated we may
strive to keep ourselves from other
nations. President Roosevelt, with
this fact in mind, has significantly
called attention to the qualification
with which Nazi Germany and Fas-
cist Italy have received news of the
unexpected action of the House of
Representatives in butchering Secre-
tary Hull's sensible program for pro-
noting peace. The eyes of the dicta-
tors were on the House when it
Slashed from the administration-fa-
vored Bloom bill the all-important
section calling for repeal of the arms
embargo provision of existing law
and substituted for it a modified but
still dangerous embargo plan. That
the scene was one pleasant for war
makers to contemplate is evidenced
by the jubilant tone of the Nazi and
Fascist press. Mr.. Roosevelt says
that reports received at the State
Department confirm the fact that
the action Of the House in proposing
a wartime embargo on guns, shells
and powder was welcomed by the
dictator nations of Europe.
The President, at a press confer
ence yesterday, quite properly de-
plored the mutilation of the Hull
peace program by the House and in

The Valley

I know that valley paths are dim and
cool
And stir the heart with faint, old
memories
Where lilies drift upon a shadowed pool
And singing brooks wind on among
the trees
But would view the valley from afar,
Look down upon Its cup of light that
fills
With quivering radiance, as If q star
Had left its beauty here between the
hills.
Dreaming apart, I sense the gracious
plan
That raised stern mountains on the
sweet earth's face,
A challenge hurled against the might Of
man
With sheltered valleys for his resting
place.

Seminole War

To many people it would come as
surprise to learn that the United
States is at this very moment at war.
The enemy, furthermore, is already
within our gates, and, still more re-
nlarkable, accomplished this feat
without invasion. The foe consists
OF tribe of Seminole Indians deep
in the heart of the Everglades of
Florida, and the invasion was the
other way round. A hundred years
ago they were so annoyed over it
that they declared war against the
United States and have never yet
formally surrendered or smoked the
pipe of peace. Recently fifteen Of the
tribe got W. P. A. jobs on road con-
struction and thereby raised a deli
cate point. The Seminole Depart
ment of State feels that if the checks
are caShed, the act will constitute a
formal surrender. Their Supreme
Court, in an emergency swamp ses-
sion, Is debating the issue, while Sec
retary Cordell Hull restlessly awaits
their decision for peace or war.
They are strongly advised to call
it a day, surrender, and cash the
checks. Especially should they cash
the checks; it would give them the
unique distinction of being the only
nation ever to profit from a war, win
or lose. In any event, for many years
their war has been practically total
flop, characterized by inability to
grasp golden opportunities which fate
has flung their way. For instance, in
the 1920's Florida was overrun by a
horde Of real estate spectators spe-
cializing in submerged lots, which
they no doubt expected to colonize
with a race of stilt-walkers. AS the
supply of moist real estate ran low,
whole platoons of this army swan
over into the Everglades, where they
were completely at the mercy OF the
Seminole War Department, but, due
to inefficiency, were allowed to return
to Miami unscalped. 1t is felt, how
ever, that the Seminoles will lay
down their arms and restore peace.

sional birdmen as either wholly benefi-
cial, or chiefly beneficial, in which latter
class come the owls and our small friend,
the sparrow hawk.
Birds OF prey, as group, are divided
Into three classes, the vultures, which
have such weak feet they must feed on
dead animals; the diurnal birds of prey,
which include the eagles, hawks and
kites, the falcons and the ospreys, and
the owls, usually divided into two groups.
the barn owls and the horned owls.
Birds of the diurnal day type have
their eyes set on the sides of their head
that is, the two eyes never look in the
same direction, as do an owls eyes, which
are set directly on the front of the head
This is why the hawks are SO clever IN
spotting food.
Birds of prey are seen nowadays to be
creatures which keep mans world clean.
Not only do they keep small rodents
under control, by natures curious
method, but some forms eat only dead
creatures, thus among them achieving
two-fold cleansing.
The sparrow hawk, being really small
falcon, has powerful legs and claws
which it uses to kill its prey, tearing it to
pieces in eating with its strong bill
There are few bird pictures more hand
some than a pigeon hawk perched in q
tree looking over the landscape.
There is power in that erect carriage
q vgor which almost seems to carry
pride with it.
Most OF our songsters, however, refuse
to see anything pretty in the picture
The moment a pigeon hawk appears
near feeding station, the chirping and
the calling dies and in few seconds
every single small bird disappears. They
are not taking any chances.
Usually the hawk leaves in a few
minutes, but the cardinals and sparrows
do not come back for several hours.
The picture Of the hawk looking over
his landscape is really a beautiful one.
1t is wonder it has not appealed to
photographers more.
1ndiscriminate clamor against hawks
has about ended, as research has pretty
well demonstrated that, as group, they
do not deserve the hue and cry which
for many years went up against them.
There are hawks and hawks.
The very paragon of hawks, certainly,
is the sparrow hawk If our cor
respondent turns her specimen loose,
. as she should do before long, it probably
will not take toll Of very many spar
rows, If any. In its Gagged state, raw
meat and plenty of it is its best food.
In nature, the fur, feathers, bones con-
sumed are rolled up by the stomach
muscles into balls, which are regurgitated
before the bird takes fresh food.

THIS AND THAT
ROCKVILLE, MD.

ROCKVILLE, MD.
Dear Sir: Last week caught small
sparrow hawk, as 1t was walking in and
out Of the shrubbery bordering the L.
brary building here.
Evidently it had just flown from a
nest nearby, for it would fly only few
yards at time and then rest for few
minutes.
Il finally succeeded in capturing it to
take home
I'VE made 5-by-5-foot cage, with
several perches made from limbs of pine
trees. This hawk is beautiful pet, and
already has become very tame, as it will
fly on my shoulder or perch on one of
my fingers.
1T is surely handsome with bars of
chestnut and dark brown on the rump,
back and tail.
"The white cheeks have black stripes
in front and behind. The under parts
are buffy streaked with dark brown.
The eyes are red, keen and lustrous.
we feed 1t scraps of fresh meat daily,
and 1t is very amusing to watch 1t pull
the meat into shreds with its sharp
claws.
ut always tries to hide the meat be-
hind one outspread wing while eating.
l was wondering if the food should vary
from meat and what we could possibly
feed the hawk that would agree with it..
Another interesting item that would
like to mention Is the crazy antics and
screams that the mockingbirds make as
they dive very close to the cage.
The mockingbirds have a nest in the
honeysuckle vine nearby, so maybe they
fear the hawk will get out and trespass
on their property. or do you think the
hawk would harm small birds?
Sincerely, M. C. p"
y ~
The sparrow hawk is generally re-
garded as the most sociable of all the
members Of the hawk family.
1t is also the smallest.
There probably is very little danger
of our correspondents catch harming
the young Of any other birds.
Its name, sparrow hawk, is rather a
misnomer, for the little fellow, which is
about II inches long when full grown,
feeds principally upon insects, grasshop-
pers, crickets, caterpillars. and the like,
In summer, and upon field mice and
house mice in the cold months.
Indiscriminate dislike of hawks has
about ended, owing to intensive educa-
ton. Nowadays 1t is realized that many
OF the hawks. in fact most of them, are
friends Of man, not his enemies.
Ornithologists believe that only three
hawks deserve determination, the sharp
Skinned hawk, the one known as Coopers
hawk, and the goshawk, all OF which at

Most hawks are classed by profess
