 Although mutual insurance would leave the government liable for ,a a share of any losses as well as profits, none of the companies in- terested in the housing contract has assessed members for losses in 100 years or so.

 Harlean James interesting
 history and guide, beautifully
 illustrated, Romance of the
 National Parks" Macmillan:
 $3). How the idea to create
 the parks was first suggested
 around the campfire of an
 exploring party in Yellow
 stone in 1870 is told briefly
 below.
 On Tuesday, Sept. 20, Langford recorded in his diary: Last night and also this morning in camp, the entire party had a rather unusual discussion. The proposition was made by some member that we utilize the result ofsour exploration by taking up quarter sections of land at the most prominent places of in- terest. One member of our party suggested that if there could be secured by preemption good title to two or three quarter sections of land opposite the lower fall of the Yellowstone and extending down the river along the canyon, they would eventually become a source of great profit to the owners. Another mem Der of the party thought that !. would be more desirable to take up a quarter section of land at the Upper Geyser Basin, for the reason that the locality could be more cas- fly reached by tourists and pleasure seekers.
 'Mr. (Cornelius) Hedges then said he did not approve of any of these plans-that there ought to be no private ownership of any portion of that region, but that the whole of it ought to be set apart as a great National Park and that each one of us ought to make an effort to have this accomplished. His sug- gestion met with an instantaneous and favorable response from all, ex- cept one ."
 (Thus) the evidence would indi- cate that Cornelius Hedges, judge of Helena, Mont, was the first to make known the concept of a great national park for all the people.

acter to make good on its; promises -called credit"
 So as the ages have advanced, those dollars of past savings have become more completely merged through new enterprises into the pattern of our common life; and their increasingly productive uses have become more and more neces- 'sary to. the advancement of; human progress. In truth. they are social resources devoted to humanity, while they remain individual dollars subject to the control of individual enterprise. Our American savings have brought lis along a road far nlore advanced than that, of any other country. Why? : Because we have wished to pursue our course toward freedom in peace; we have wasted comparatively few dollars in the destructive processes of war: under. the providence of God we were able to set up and maintain for 150 years a government devoted to the protection of individual hu- man rights; and we have had a wider and more stable growth in the widespread use of these rights. Be- cause of, a genius for organization and willingness to trust all men of. proven ability, our industrial and commercial expansion, has been limited only by the tests of success sfll performance.
 {; Finally, because of the develop ment of employment on the basis of ability, we have been able to widen the opportunities for men and wo- men of ability beyond those of any other country in the: world. We and our dollars have stood behind peace and freedom, ability and trust. edu- cation and training, research and invention, liberty and law, individual
 initiative and free enterprise. In these elements of human charac- ter are recognized the factors which have determined the char acter of our savings-the character of our investment dollars.
 Human character is not perfect. Unfortunately, and especially in periods of rapid growth, 1t aecunu- iates evil as well as good. Our dol- lars do the same. Mistakes have been made. It has been generally realized that such a rapid growth as ours would require the correc- ton of bad habits. We could not hope to be immune from them. We did not realize that In our supreme effort to make the world "safe for Democracy" we would exageerate some of the evis of national char acter and would expose ourselves to the economic and political de seases cf European countries as we'll

LOST BALANCES IN OUR ECO. NOMIC LIFE MUST BE 2
 RESTORED

June 13, 1859. Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 Idle dollars mean idle men. The dollars the president was thinking of represent surplus energies ex- pended over and above those need ed to support men and their depen- dents when. at work. They have the ability to devote their accumulated powers to the employment, of more men. The resulting savings become intimately woven into carrying for- ward life. As our children continue our hopes and aspirations and are the product of many sacrifices, so our investment dollars are the prod uct of self-denial and saving. Stored up and accumulated they make our future paths easier: They thus come to express human life and partake of all of it's virtues, as well as it's vices. \ It is quite unfair to charge dol lars with all of the vices, as we sometimes do, and credit them with none of the virtues. Civilization has been built upon the fruits and ,sav- ings of past efforts. By these means civilization has advanced and gradually has brought about great differences between the saved dol- lars of the present day and their absence in the case of savage man. Whatever the aborigine produced, he and his family used; and that within the very brief time before it spoiled. It took the progress of many ages to bring about the common use of medium of exchange called money: form of impersonal in- vestment called the s"corporation";: and a tradition of democratic law and order to protect our savings in property and in life, called govern ment" On these bases, the sterling character of our fathers built up a system of enterprise admired and envied throughout the world. K
 It will thus be seen that our sav- ed dollars are not the root of all evil. They. are human in that we have devoted ages of lives and sac- rifices to bring them together into usable funds. thereby multiplying their productiveness many times and making their constant ex- changeability possible to these who could guarantee tlscir return. Hence our foundations are built not only upon savings. but upon faith = faith in the ability of human char.

 For example, there was the elopement of Burnice Smith, the typewriter fortune heiress, and
 Eddie Le Baron, the tango and rhumba specialist, the other moon- lit night.
 Le Baron is a swarthy -com- plexioned Adonis with sleek black hair, a moustache and immacu- late grooming. And when he is up there, waving a baton over the gouard and the maracas, he is the type who makes the susceptible ladies swoon.
 Now Burnice knew all that and wasn't taking any chances. So casting all family protest aside, they waited until Le Baron fin- ished tang oset one evening at the Rainbow room where he is employed-and then just went out and got married. Wiseacres say it won't be long before Burnice officially is stricken of society's roster.

Not much to tell about it, except that Fred reica came with a boy friend to dance one night and saw her dream man, Donahue, leading the band. The attraction was mutual and soon the wedding march was added to the Donahue repertoire.
 That was seven years ago, though they still bill and coo like newlyweds and go home to two children from wherever Al is sta- tioned.

 Citing another case of meas tro's irresistible charm, there was the recent marriage of Hal Kemp and the lovely, little Martha Stephenson who was queen glamor girl until she did the slow march to the altar. Now Martha's suitors were legion and most of them hailed from famil ytrees with roots in 1776 and bank accounts that resembled your Social Security number.
 Martha was the girl in demand that year and her chances were not to be sneezed at, even in a cute, little handkerchief. But it was the same old story.
 Sitting in night club, she had watched Kemp direct the ragtime, had been introduced to him, and she had felt the sting of Cupids dart. So she married him and thus relinquished not only hectic so- cial life, but her listing in the Snooty directory.

as our own. Also, in the loosening of the restraints by the war, we have developed 8 whole crop of new diseases. The uncontrolled urge for speculation under conditions creat- ed by the war destroyed many of our old measures of real values. The rapid rise in wages cut us loose from sound measures of the value of what men could produce. We came to confuse loans or debts and pro- ductive resources. Contacts with new theories of government germinated ideas which were totally foreign to our own traditions and for the time being induced us to forget the more solid rocks upon which we were founded. The need for huge re- placements here and abroad to make good the Instructions of the war stimulated a temporarily high and artificial level of production. The compilations of war, under which foreign dictators had undertaken to control prices, production, wages, currencieS and credit, held out to many of us the false hope that we COulQ 0O tAAC odAAAC ASAO uAA>ASA peaceful conditions of freedom.
 The balances which had been achieved in the past decade between foreign and domestic exchange, be- tween the relative values of farm
 products and industrial products. between wages and what they would buy, between loans and the bank reserves to provide them, be- tween expenditures for consumer goods and investments in durable goods-ali of these balances were thrown out of gear. They had been built up by the interplay of eco homie laws. They have been upset by the destructive forces of the war and its aftermath of abnormal ex- pansion from 1928 to 1929.
 It is now our duty to work for the restoration of the lost balances. To restore both men and their sav- ings to their normal activities of working and producing, at least four conditions are necessary:
 1. Freedom to bargain for ones labor on the basis of ability to do the job, without coercion from any source. 4 " t0 2.

SECRETARY OF STATE GRAY

Probably one of the best liked state
officials in Florida and one of the most
efficient the state has ever had is Bob
Gray, Secretary of State. And therein lies
the story of why Bob Gray is not opposed
in his candidacy for the office in which
he is serving with distinction to the citizens
of Florida.
1t has been our pleasure to know Bob
Gray for many years. Mr.. Gray is of
quiet, unassuming nature, but when it
comes to work while performing his duties
for the state-there is no equal to his
qualities. He is as honest as the day is
long.
go One of the facts of Mr.. Gray's sue
cess in office is his complete attendance
upon business. If you want to know
something from the Secretary of States Of
flee, letter written to him is promptly
answered. If you have any business with
his office you can rest assured that it will
be promptly attended to. And, after all,
that is what the good people of Florida
wish in state official-one who is honest
and one who attends to his duties while
not heaping expense upon the taxpayers,
but rather giving service that pleases.
That is Bob Gray's success.-Cocoa
