The taking of Poland by Hitler
Is perhaps one Of the most ruthless
and unjustified and indefensible
acts Of recent history. The people Of
Poland are industrious, peace loving
people. The reason they were so lily
fitted to cope with Hitler was due to
the fact that for the past twenty
years they have been devoting their
energies and resources to rebuilding
their country and repairing the
damage caused by the World war.
When Poland began her reconstruc-
ton twenty years ago the country
had lost, because of the war, 18OO,-
600 buildings, 10000 cattle, 1,O0O,-
600 horses, $500, 900 sheep and T.
500 bridges, $40 railway stations,
1850 motors and 1914 tooling ma
chimes. 100000 acres of farm land
was devastated and 6,OOO,O 900 acres
Of forest. Her textile industry was
ruined, foundries and steel works
shut down. Poland had but 13 years
Of reconstruction. Ten of these came
during the world depression. During
this time she reduced illiteracy from
80 to Is percent. Her elementary
schools were increased Is times UNI
til at the time of Hitler's invasion
she had $4,000 elementary schools
with 100000 students, 1000 high
schools and ~ universities. She
built the city Of Gdynia from a pop
ulation Of 400 in 1923 to to 10000
IN 1889. She purchased 100000
acres Of ground from large land
owners and out of it created 100000
new farms. Her population has in
creased more rapidly than that OF
any other country in Europe. She
became Elrope's third largest pro-
Queer Of Oil, the worlds third larg-
est producer of zinc. Her steel in
dustry ranked eighth in Europe. She
built 1913 miles OF railway, $3.50 n.y.
droelectric plants. Her farms wealth
steadily increased until she ranked
fifth in the world in horses, eighth
In cattle, fifth in pigs. This is the
nation that Hitler has despoiled
and divided with Russia. Hitler, who
pirates of the injustice of the treaty
OF Versailles. Truly no greater
crime has been committed against
any people anywhere than FIitler's
mjustified, indefensible theft of
Poland.

No Fair Dumping
On Others DOOrsteps

WHITE BLUFFS - Someone
without the intestinal fortitude nee
eSsary to kill their own unwanted
kittens or cats, has made it a hab-
it to drop them off their car at
some convenient location. Kelley
Matteson says he is running out of
ammunition, and asks that the next
party who deposits a chicken-eating
cat at his doorstep, include in the
good will Offering a box of shotgun
shells. Laying all joking aside, this
dumping unwanted cats or dogs at
a doorstep, or as many do, in the
desert, is heartless, inhuman thing,
much more so than killing them.
Why not try disposing of them YOUR
self instead of turning them out to
make their own way and perhaps
starve?

No one has been able to explain
to our satisfaction why German
Bund or Red organization or any
other organization clearly opposed
to the democratic system of govern
ment should be permitted to exist
in this country. We have never
see any good reason why they
should not be sent at once back to
the countries who have the type Of
government they profess to desire.

In the deals being promoted by
Hitler. Stain and Mussolini, Euro
pean policies and intrigue may be
seen at their worst. Personal in
terest in its lowest form dominates
the thinking Of each one Of them,
and there is not one of them who
wouldn't cheerfully slit the throat
Of the other two If he thought 1t 1t
would prove Of the slightest benefit
to his own personal advancement.

The money that is spent in war
and the preparation for war by the
several nations of the world could,
If devoted to constructive things,
completely change conditions thru
out the world. It could buy every
thing ten times over that has been
fought for-except liberty itself.

No one who has ever had any ex-
perience trying to get a boy to work
and doing his chores when and as
he should do them, has any doubt
that industry is a matter of training
and habit.

We believe in free speech, but we
also believe that free speech should
be limited to naturalized Americans.
To all others free speech should be
limited to discussion of their own
country and its government.

If she needs it, which is one of
the more dubious things of a dubious
moment in history, Katharine Hep
burn should be able to find balm in
the critics voting. Although not
winner, Miss Hepburn was among
the three actresses scoring the high
est number of votes for the best
feminine performance of the year.
1t was for her playing in Holiday"
the madcap comedy in which she
relaxed very impressively for a per-
son Of such established dignity and
intensity. On the final ballot, Miss
Hepburn came in right behind Mar

and Alice Brady ('In Old Chicago'D.
1t should make her feel good after
having been declared poison" at

picture, incidentally was chosen as
the years second best. Runner-up
to Mr.. Fyffe was John Garfield, the
young man who played the dark,

Garfield die at the end of that film,

later he rediscovered what he had
already known, that he couldn't nav

back from Chinese laundry. So he
made deal with the Oriental to
work a full day delivering washing
IN return for his laundry. For a

But no matter what you call

free government classes may be
seen all this week at the old Henry

of handicraft, of utility and evil
dences of work in more abstract
subjects.
The classes are divided into all
sorts of divisions, such as parent
education and home-making, arts
and crafts, general adult educa-
ton, etc. Each division, in turn,
is usually broken down into sew
eral subdivisions. And the exhibit
being shown has seen to II that
every division and subdivision is
represented.
Clothing Exhibit
The arts and crafts display,
alone, is surprisingly worth while,
many of the carving, paintings,
leather work. bearing the unmis-
taxable mark of the professional.
The same thing might be said of
the clothing exhibit, which dis
plays dresses and gowns made by
housewives in their spare time.
