The darkness caught almost everyone unawares. The local supply of flashlight bat teries was low. Folks gathered in the moonlight to chat on the front porches, and to watch the curious elderly ladies running downstreet to see what was wrong and to blame it on Hitler, Willkie, or somebody else of German par entage.

The Memory of
Abraham Lincoln

NEXT Tuesday the nation observes the an
niverSary of the birth of one of it's
greatest Americans. And to the commemo-
ration of the event will be attached spirit
of reverence rather than celebration. This
is because he was chiefly a man lacking the
ability to place in his actions anything that
bordered on the spectacular. Ponderous of
thought he made his decisions slowly, but
always with a great sense of fairness,
whether those decisions concerned an indi-
vidual, regiment or the nation as whole.
No other president, save perhaps Wash
ington reached and held the place Lincoln
holds in the minds of Americans In their
respected inches in history no parallel ex-
listed between the two careers except that
both led the nation during periods of ven
detta Washington fought for freedom from
a foreign usurper. Lincoln to preserve the
unity created by his predecessor In sum-
ming up it seems Lincoln's job was the more
difficult
Patriotic fervor is easily aroused and put
to work when the nation is fighting for a
common cause. But when the bonds of
unity are severed and people, homogene-
Gus in every way except thought, are called
upon to fight each other the task of leader
ship becomes increasing difficult and dis
tasteful.
Lincoln played the game as he saw it to
be right. Gratefully we acknowledge the
wisdom of his thoughts and actions. And
on the anniversary of his birth we lay at the
feet of this immortal American, the hearts
of a united nation.

Growth Of A
Movement

THE Boy Scout movement was founded in
America thirty years ago this week.
Here in Newark and Licking County we
have watched the movement, both from 10
cal and national view, grow and gain in in
fluence. We have watched with great sat-
isfaction an organization that has gained
the confidence of all people.
1t wouldn't be easy to point to any single
quality and say with positiveness, Here's
what makes Scouting great" But in our
judgment one of it's outstanding contrlbu-
Ations to us and to the nation, is its simply
Tworded Twelfth Scout Law. 1t epitomizes
all that our forefathers stood for and pion-
eered for in fashioning a safe homeland out
of wilderness. Here is the law:
A Scout is reverent.
He is reverent towards God. He is faith
full in his religious duties, and respects the
convictions of others in matters of custom
and religion.
All Americans worthy of the name, all
who believe in the Bill of Rights and the
Constitution, have an abiding faith in such
principle because it is their guarantee that
50 IOuS DIS III is d living CIl1lIS LllSy VIII NC
free and independent.
Thus, on this the thirtieth anniversary of
the Scouting movement, Newark pays hon.
age to those, and particularly those in our
own midst, who have taken an interest in
Scouting and advanced it along lines CORES
ponding with national expansion. They are
to be warmly congratulated upon the sue
cess of their efforts.

The First Sign
Of Spring

WHILE the vernal season still droWses

livering residents of Newark and Licking
County figurative first robins and early
violets. For that many-leaved harbinger OF
Spring, the seed catalog, is already In the
mails It's drab cocoon gives little hint OF
the butterfly within. But opening it, one
finds himself knee deep in June and all that
goes with it.

lighter His CHEEKY whistle as he ploWs his
way through snow to the garage is ample
indication that summer, no matter how far
removed, is definitely on its way.

Prayer Band
Marks Birthday

Friday of this week marks the
first anniversary of the Serbian
Mission band of Newark. Rev.
John w. Troy is founder and the
local missionary meetings were
adopted by the evangelistic pray
er band after the close of Rev.
Troy's successful revival in the
First Baptist Church.
Ten dollars has been sent each
month during the past year to
pay rent of a new mission open
ed in August of last year by Rev.
Troy. Initial cost of $40 was
paid by Mrs. Della Crozier, treas
urer, to begin the new work. The
balance of 800 was sent by Mrs.
Crozier to Rev. w. E. Bisgrove,

There's Satisfaction
In Acts Such AS These

TT would be good for Newark and good for
the organization involved if, in patterning
after activities of the goth Century Club,
other groups would adopt some local institu-
ton with a purpose common to that of City
Hospital, and make it and it's inmates the
beneficiaries of some worth while effort and
philanthropy.
For in this regard the goth Century Club
has done an outstanding service both to the
hospital and the community. 1t began some
years ago with the definite purpose of MAX
ing this public institution the recipient of
it's efforts. Originally it was composed of
daughters of hospital board members and of
other persons having an interest in it's sue
cess. To this day the complexion of it's de-
signs has not changed.
Recently it provided the hospital with a
modern book truck for the use of it's pa
tients. Prior to that club members, 10 of
whom visit the institution twice weekly to
visit patients and distribute books, used a
makeshift truck which consisted for the
most part of wheel chair.
The 10th Century-ites are likewise re-
sponsible for all the equipment now in use
in the baby ward With the aid of dona-
tions and sponsored events they were able
to equip this department with beds, bedding,
gowns, etc. Air conditioning equipment for
the incubator ward has also been installed
with the compliments of the group, as has
other incidental accoutrement in the operat-
ing room and other departments in the hos
pital.
The spread of such activities among other
organizations would be splendid thing and
it would give those responsible for such
charities the feeling of satisfaction in hav-
ing accomplished something worthwhile.

Distinction For
Judge Montgomery

HERE in Licking County we have always
recognized in Judge Charles w. Mont
gomery man of extraordinary compass of
mind and exceptionally well gifted with ex-
ecutive ability. People in the Fifth Appel
ate Court district of Ohio have grasped the
knowledge of these talents as well in elect
ing him time and again to a seat on that i'm
pOrtant bench.
So we evince little wonder in the fact that
he has been selected by the Ohio delegation
to the national convention of the political
party with which he is identified as second
choice for the nomination to the Presidency
of the United States.
True, the honor, however signal it may be,
is one of only honorary emolument. But it
does show that the Licking County jurist
enjoys distinction not only in Licking
County but over the state as well. No party,
no matter to what political creed it may at
zach itself, can afford to select any but the
finest, most competent and able men as
leaders in the approaching presidential cam
paign, or any future campaign for that mat
ter.
The public is learning to weigh more care
fully than ever before the issues and the

AAC CANCAOpC poe, ulOSt 1dSIllOll
authorities seem to feel, is In for a
bigger season than ever And
here's why The current vogue
for pockets on dresses and coats
would seem to make the envelope
bag more convenient and the
pockets more easily accessible. How
ever, this theory is not entirely
sound. In the first place, it seems
hard to believe that women will be
so busy going in their pockets that
they won't be able to hang onto the
handle OF bag It has never yet
come about that pockets on any,
thing have replaced the good old
Suitcase" which may be-and
usually is-crammed to overflowing.
Furthermore, most women know
that the use of pockets is more OF q
decorative than a functional fea-
ture-and that to stuff them full Of
knick-knacks is to spoil the line and
appearance Of the dress or coat .
Obviously then, the use of pockets
Is not going to greatly influence the
selection of handbags-or help to
decide the question of envelope over
handle. There are plenty of both.
All Colors
Are Seen
When you look at accessories this
spring, you'll find clear sailing on
the question of color. It's due to be
. colorful season, especially in ac-
cessories, for women are fast learn
Ing the advantages of using bright
shades with subdued dresses or
coats. All the pastels-pinks, blues,
pale greens and the like are des-
tined to be important, for the con-
tinual talk of gray as an important
spring tone is bound to find women
turning to color in accessories for
relief. The same holds true of the
brighter shades. Brilliant red is
leader and so are the variations
which are toned from a rosy glow to
the flaming color And, of course,
there is the usual run Of black, navy
and q bit of brown. Keep your eye
out for the latter, for brown looks

tant role than Is usually played in
the spring scene.

And Hats

Spring Millinery
Compliments
Coiffures
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

|. About the most welcome news
/ can bring women throughout the
land Is that hair stylists and hat
designers have decided to cooper
ate this spring! So now when you
put your head into the hands Of
Z salon-barber you may be assured
he will dress your hair so you will
be able to wear the latest bonnets.
That is, unless the fellow you choose
Is so much the individualist that
he cannot bear to conform to the
agreements Of his profession. That
will be your hard luck.
Early indications are that spring
hats will be small, but will hug
the shape Of the head instead Of
sitting over one eyebrow as they
did last spring. In other words, the
old skullcap will be the key to new
designs. Wells, flowers, berries,
feathers and material twists will, of
course, create the smartness all
women shop for.
That means you hair will be
dressed smoothly over the crown,
with curled bangs, or high curls, in
front, and q soft neckline. Because
summer is approaching you will find
short loose curls at the nape Of
the neck or long hair twisted up in
fiat sleek rolls. Girls who want
to wear long bobs may do so, pro-
viding they. are under IS and do
not mind being hot around the
neck!
You should want your hair to be
In the best condition in spring, for
summers activities and summing is
bound to rob it of beauty and health.
And please don't make the mistake
of rushing to get new permanent
wave If your hair needs recondi-
tioning. You will be regretful lass
for the next six months if you do.
First Of all, weekly reconditioning
treatments for one month are In
order, daily brushings are necessary
and reshaping Of your hair should
be done before it is curled and not
afterward. If you live in the South
and have gone around without q
hat, or have swum q lot, your scalp
Is unusually dry, and your hair is
likely to be lacking In elasticity. If
you live North, the constant wearing
OF hats, steam heat and lack of suffi-
cient exercise have all conspired
to rob your hair of its natural love-
illness. So when spring comes, de-
termine to bring back the life and
beauty Of your neglected hair be-
fore you get it styled, or before you
shop for your Easter bonnet.
One milliner told me that she de-
pends upon the women who are
over IS to keep her business alive.
Younger girls like to go without
hats, or wear inexpensive models
they pick up In department stores,
but the woman over IS is hat con-
scious. For her I design most Of
my hats, and find that the sleek
coiffures which follow the shape of
the head. with fetching sculptured
pcurls clustered where they are
needed to hatter the face. are the
-coifures which set OF hats with q
dash. Too youthful hair-dos on
the woman past IS never look smart.
They are humorous!"

Of suede Especially in pastels) all
are very much in evidence. In the
novelty line there are frogskin bags
to match the much-talked of shoes
and other unusual materials for
those who prefer them.
Novelty Bag
Attractive.
Although we never go in very
strongly for describing novelty
items-there are far too many Of
them to leave room for anything
else-we recently saw one that took
our fancy, for It's just the type Of
thing that would make travelling q
pleasure It's a square black kid
bag with handle and the Interest,"
ing feature is the compartment which
snaps open in the back. This l6ts
down to form miniature writing
desk Equipped with blotter such
as Is used on a desk, it has handy
compartments for note paper and
envelopes, and also is set up with
little leather books for notes or ad-
dresses. The beauty of the whole
thing is that it's terrifically good
looking bag which is in no way
bulky. Imagine what joy it would
be if you do any travelling In
fact, you could easily use it on your
shopping and check writing expedi-
tions.
Just one more thing: Women
take terrible razzing about
"stuffed-out" handbags, and often
it's deserved. So, why not 60 through
your purse and weed out those IA
packs Of matches, old theater stubs,
ancient receipts, used-up npsticks
and the bundle Of keys that you
have no further use for? At our
ow~- risk. we'd suggest carrying in
your bag kit which holds all your
makeup snugly in one package; a
billfold for your money, cards and
license; a matching leather key case
which keeps the keys from scratch
ing your compact; cigarette case
and lighter all-in-one combination,
and a clean handkerchief. Unless
you go in for carrying mousetraps
and pieces Of Aunt Minnie's wedding
cake, that should be sufficient.
