TO CONTROL SABOTAGE

ONE Of the first duties of the new Congress-
~ should be to examine possible gaps in the
present Federal statutes covering sabotage. At
torney General jackson has informed the Dies
committee that in his opinion the Federal Gov
eInment could not now obtain a conviction for the
destruction Of any material being manufactured
here for foreign Government. In other words,
even the Lewis Boulevard in Queens, from the
Whitestonc Bridge south to Horace Harding
Boulevard, already has served a useful purpose
since its opening year ago by providing access
to the Worlds Fair during its second year. Com
plctcd, it would tap the network Of caSt-and west
highways leading into the city from Long Island
and provide an important connection between
Long Island and Upper New York, Westchester
and Connecticut.

LITTLE PARCEL

Go swiftly, Little Parcel,
To a modest door.
Knock softly, yes, thrice softly.
Tread lightly DER the floor.
Pause by the quaint old rocker
That near the window stands,
Then snugglc, closer snuggle
Into the thin, pale hands.
Stir not if they caress you
Or tears upon you fall,
Nor if the lips in tremble
An unworthy name recall.
God speed you on your journey.
Do not, beg, delay,
But to her hasten with my love
TO glad her Christmas Day.
Daniel 8. Straley.

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

| Is To-Day enCfenCnlllS nefSell laIlOIldl-
! ly against increasing Nazi pressure
consolidating the inner resources OF
her people, the American Friends of
Danish Freedom and Democracy re-
| ports. To anyone who knows the
Danes, their strong religious instinct
whence springs their intense devotion
to democratic ideals, their will to CO.
operate, and the cultural basis under
lying the amazing productivity which
made Denmark pattern for work
ing democracy, other than this could
not be expected.
The Danes resent the suggestion
that they need "new order" They
had a new order, dating back to their
previous defeat by Germany in 1864
Any "new ORDER" Danes declare
hopefully, will come with the victory
for democracy when the process of
history repeating itself will have to
| be consummated.
X X X
| Already the manner in which the
Danes are meeting their present
plight parallel in some respects their
| attitude after the war of 1864 when
Denmark lost her Slesvig provinces to
Bismarch's Prussia. At that time
recovering from shock they soon be-
gan setting in order what was left of
their national house. "What's lost
without must be won within" became
national slogan.
From then on, until Denmark was
| again invaded by Germany on April
9th last, the consolidation and
strengthening Of both her spiritual
and physical resources saw the flower
ing of Denmark into the kind of So
ciety envisioned by Bishop Grundtvig
"Where few have too much and few
er too little, made up of intelligent
cooperative and contented farm and
industrial communities, whose quality
production defects the culture of the
people. And the Danes, who recently
took to national singing upon an I'M
| precedented scale, have revived the
song they sang after ga:
"Turn once more the heath and moor
land over
Where sheep nibble at the heather
lean,
| Till their acres stand again with clover
Cattle grazing upon pastures green.
Fill up ignorance and bury
Selfshness and greed beneath the sod
Of the weak and soft evoke a people
That will bend its will alone to God y
n
The Danes, who had consistently
followed paths of peace and neutrality
and who neither geographically nor
enthusiastically were able to resist the
Nazi invaders, far from giving up
are falling back upon the same spirit
which served them so well in past
crises. AS means to unity and
strength they have taken to song
Over a million songbooks-enough to
reach every household-were found
one morning in Danish mailboxes
Distributed free by the Post Office
Department they were the gift OF
anonymous donors. Community sings
(caled Allsings) followed.
On one occasion as many as 800,-
600 turned out in parks and squares
Even sophisticated Copenhageners
took to song again. One hundred anc
fifty thousand stood in the Faelled-
park in the capital and sang. An over
flow of $4,000 filled smaller parks
There were no disturbances Of any
! kind. No one was run in. The over
flow of emotion ran down cheeks in
stead. Nevertheless community sings
were soon prohibited by the Germans
as mot good for the people"

WHAT NEXT?

Developed especially for pub
lie housing projects, a new three
in-0ne" stove has recently been
designed by engineers of the An
thracite Industries Laboratory, in
cooperation with United States
Housing Authority technicians.
Occupying only slightly more
space than an ordinary kitchen
range, the stove serves all house
hold cooking and water heating
purposes, and by means of an at
tached fre-box and hOtwatcr coil,
will adequately heat a siX-rOom

If Britain is in a position to become

America need not worry, ever
about her own defense
We could go on, with business as

America has never paid
Full price for blessings of her civil

Modern social structure is built OF

Men learned what not to do, il

On European soil, in European

Americans aimed to leave those

Finding new rivers, which had nc

Climbing new mountain chains
which spelled opportunity, not of

needed walls for war
For all Of this, America has paid
in forgetfulness-
Plus that mere $11 billion.
In isolation, we sold our grain tc

stricken Asia
Machines, and their products, spill

In solitude of splendor, we market

Weekend Games

Clintwood continued its losing
ways by dropping a double bill
to visiting Buchanan County
teams on Saturday and Sunday.
On Saturday afternoon Keen
Mountain broke a to 4 dead
lock in the seventh inning by get
ting to Friend, Clintwood hurler,
for four hits and six runs. Errors
on the part of local players &C
counted for most of the runs scor-
ed during the contest. Only 8 of
Keen Mountains II runs were
earned.
Clintwood played the game with
a makeshift lineup due to the alb
sence of Toots Steele, who is now
in CMTC, Howard Deel and Cecil
Hughes, out with injuries, and
Tommy Romans on a fishing trip
to Clinch River.
Jack Payne caught an excel
lent game for the locals and con-
tributed hits. Junior Hamilton
made his debut as a Clintwood
player. He hit two for three at
tempts and played errorless ball.
The fielding gem of the game
came when Hamilton threw out
Summers at first in the first in
ming after Summers had hit clean
iy to right field. However, Hamil-
tons superb playing on Saturday
did not merit him a position in
the starting lineup the following

Effect of Advertising on Sales
 of Canned Salmon is Reported

That national advertising of canned salmon is enabling the salmon industry to sell a larger proportion of the supply of sal mon is demonstrated in a report just submitted to the advertising committee of the Canned Salmon Industry by J. Walter Thompson Company.
 The report covers the years during which the industry has been carrying on it's advertising program. The first phase of the report compares the sales per foEmance during the first four years of advertising, 1935-1939 with the average for the ten years prior to the start of the advertising campaign.
 The second phase of the re- port deals separately with the last pack selling season, the year 1939-40. This sales year is consid- cred separately because the short pack during 1889 presented the industry with conditions varying greatly from the average of the proceeding years.
 The report covers the 5 years of advertising in some detail, discussing the cooperation secur
