No Passport Needed to Cuba

A recent statement that the
Cuban Government intended to de-
mand passports and visas from
American tourists entering Cuba is
untrue, according to Senor Jose
Cidre, president of the National
Tourist Commission of Cuba. Many
American newspapers carried the
inaccurate announcement The
Cuban travel official has written to
leading American travel organiza-
tions since the story appeared, in
forming them that the report was
erroneous. Sr. Cidre bases his de-
nial on official information from
the Cuban State Department.
United States citizens can continue

ditions that have prevailed in the

COMPULSORY MILL t A r Y
TRAINING Senate Military
Affairs Committee has opened
hearings on Senator Burke's bill
which calls for the registration of
all men between the ages of 1S and
65 for war service training. DR..
James B. Conant, President of
Harvard University, appearing be-
fore the Committee, and General
John j. Pershing, in a letter to the
Committee both endorsed compul-
sorry military service in the present
crisis. Under the provisions of the
bill, men registered shall be divid-
ed into two catefories: l. Men
between 21 and AS who shall be
liable for training and service in
the land and naval forces; 2 Men
between the ages of Is and 81, and
As and 65, who shall be liable only
for training and service in home
defense units near their residences.
The bill does not undertake to de-
termine the number of men who
should be in training or service in
the Army and Navy, that is to be
determined by the President and
his military and naval advisers. 1t
shall be the ultimate objective that
In the selection of men, not more
than 87Ge nor less than 1890 shall

more than 15et nor less than 1000

service of men whose employment
in industry and agriculture is nee
essary to national interest, minist-

be deferred under regulations made
by the President. Local Boards
shall pass on deferements. Men
who are selected shall be trained

secutive months. The period may
be extended if Congress declares
the national interest is imperilled.
Pay will be $500 a month plus

Radiant Living
LIVING IN
SODOM
BY Rev. c. M. Griffeth
Pastor Methodist Church
CeciIton, Md.

We no less than Lot live in
Sodom. He lived there by choice,
we of necessity. Our Sodom how
ever is not the old city of the Plain
but it is that which the Scripture
speaks of as "the World"
AS the old city itself, so this
surrounding Sodom of worldliness
with all its godlessness and licen-
ciousness, is no place for a spirit
ual man of God, unless in some
way he can be protected from its
insidious appeals that surround
him on every hand.
The greatest danger which con-
fronts the Spiritual man living in
the surrounding worldliness is that
in some unguarded moment the in
fuance of the goddess modern day
might, like poison gas, seep into
his system and that as conse-
quence, he might lose his consci-
BUSINESS of spiritual things. World
liness quickly dulls the edge of an
awareness of the presence of God.
Although like Lot, we must live
in Sodom, yet, thank God, like
Abraham, we belong to the noun
tainsi
Mountain air is pure and whole
some; how different from that OF
the hot goddess city.
While living in this Sodom, we
can not go to the mountains, but
we can bring the mountain air tc
ourselves, (that mountain air in
which the spirit thrivesl by open
ing the pages of Scripture and
breathing in it's invigorating spir-
itual atmosphere.
The radiant Christian protects
himself from the charms of Sodom
by placing himself under the in
fiuence of a far greater fascina-
tion-the love of Cod
Say to your soul, and say it now
by the help of God, when l &c

would become imperative on May
Is, 1945, unless continued in effect
by Congress. Needless to say,
this legislation has reused bitter
opposition, as universal conscrip-
tion in peacetime is repugnant to
the American people. To some,
such measures smack too much of
the methods which were used by
Hitler, Mussolini and Stain in
building up their vast armies.
Others are opposed to the bill be-
cause they contend it gives the
President such far-reaching pow
ers to mobilize the man power of
the Nation, in times of peace or
war, for military, vocational or ed
ucational training and service.
General Pershing in his letter to
the Senate Military Affairs Com
mittee states, THE training of per-
sonnel, Ike the production of in
struments of war, is essential at

However, let us not lose sight of
the fact that personnel trained

as important as the possession OF

Opportunity for Social Security
account holders to check up on

ance accounts is offered by the

nOuncement issued today. Chas.
E. Bailey, manager of the Hagers-
town Field Office says that the
Board is now ready to furnish to
any account holder on request a
statement of the wages credited to
his particular account for 1897.
1888. 1899 and at least one quar-
ter of 1910.
Mr. Bailey explained that the So
cial Security accounts are the So
cial Security Boards record of
each workers wages as reported
to the Government by his employ
er. The monthly benefits payable
to insured wage earners, to their
wives or widows. and their chill
dren, or to their dependent par
ents, depend upon the amount of
the workers wages. Therefore,
it is important for the worker to
check up once year and find out

Such an opportunity is provided
by the Board and for the account

All the worker needs to do is fill
out this card and mail it, or write
a letter making the same request.
In either case, he gives his name

his birth to identify his account.
He will receive the reply in a seal
ed envelope, in accordance with

quires that any information about
