A Tribute

Calexico's Junior softball team
won't be remembered as the strong
est club in this years kids league
because the boys from the border
city arc presently in the cellar
but Calexico juniors will certainly
be remembered as the team which
made the league an outstanding
SUCCESS.
The youngsters from the border
city have held their ball club to-
gether this season without the ben-
eft of adult supervision as other
teams in the league have had. They
have arranged their own transporta-
ton from Calexico to Ell Centre and
to Imperial.
Each team member has donated
five cents each time the club was
scheduled to play to pay for gaSo-
line costs for a pickup truck which
transports the team to league games.
And on Tuesday night the Ca
lexlco youngsters passed up a
chance to win a ball game to allow
three younger team mates to take
their turn at bat in the final inn-
ing.
Calexico was trailing, S-6, in the
last inning, was slowly gaining on
the junior police team. But rather
than make bid for the victory by
using regular players, the Calexico
players allowed three younger team
mates to take turn at bat-because
those boys had also contributed
their five-cent piece toward trans
portation costs.
In charge of the Calexico team
are Henry Andrade and Oscar Pa
dilla, a pair of Is year old lads. and
they have mace an outstanding
success of their team despite hand
leaps. Calexico owes those youngs-
tiers something more than an offer

Renovating Defense Machine

No matter how hard Americans try, they can't forget there IS war m EuroPe. One can't be casual about it. It pervaoes all our national life. It hangs over us like a persistent ghost, and it's pretty hard to shrug your shoulders at ghost. For little while before the President sent his budget message to Congress, peo- nle in this country were beginning to LOOK at the war as something purely objective, something associated with the United States only remotely The Christmas sea son helped that feeling along little. we were sympathetic toward Finland, con" temptuous of Russia. We sighed when the Graf Spec sunk off the coast Of Uru- quay and were grateful that the whole nasty incident didn't happen in some United States port.
 Even though the war scene was brought closer to our front door, much of the fatalism concerning our eventual involve ment had vanished. We had come to the conclusion that the war wouldn't toucn us and that we needn't worry about 1t too much. Then the President submitted his budget. Almost every item was clipped except one-national defense The chief executive asked an appropriation or S1,800, 100000 for defense more than was requested for any other program. The unfortunate aspect of the whole thing is that we've got to spend money for defense, whether we'll need 1t or not. As a matter of fact, the more we spend, the less likely may be our need Tor It.
 Even the $1, 300 900 000 isn't as much as most observers had expected. But US good deal more than can be comfortably laughed off. On the basis of l30,000, 900 people in this country, that comes to about $14 a head To help meet this item, about $469 100000 in new taxes must be raised, preferably, the President asked, through a super income tax plan. Although we haven't taken up arms, US difficult for us to forget for long that the god of war is abroad again. Everything we do as a government, from now until the conflicts are settled will be influenced by events abroad. We are not self-suffi- cient; the world means good deal to us.
 Making ones way in world that is be- ing shattered requires some pretty agile footwork. The United States government must be careful in everything that 1t does, but not more careful than every citizen within the country must be. It is the series of small, unimportant incidents that can pile up and lead to sudden eX- plosion. We are still neutral, but the rights of a neutral nation aren't as e::- alted as we'd like them to be. Many of the routine things we do as a matter of course in time of peace are banned or restricted when war gets under way. If we've got to spend $1,s00,000000 for a war machine -- and we probably shall - let's keep the machine bright and shiny. Let's try never to find an occasion to use 1t.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-01-10
Checking Crime

Only 12 years ago, about the only way headquarters had of getting in touch with the cop on the beat was to flash a light or ring bell that summoned the officer to the nearest patrol box. But in 1928, Detroit installed the first munich pally operated police radio station. By short wave transmission, instructions could be sent out directly to officers cruis- ing in patrol cars. Today, short wave communication among police is in oper- ation in 900 American cities and 28 states.
 To link law enforcement officers to- gether in this manner is to spread drag net around an area almost immediately after crime is reported. Criminals have found it tougher to ply their trade since short wave radio has been enlisted on the side of the law. AS the elements of scien- tific crime detection and criminal appre- hension continue to pile up against him, the felon is learning new meaning for the old axiom, "Crime does not pay"

Prosit, Kamerad!

A few nights ago, crew members of H. M. s. Achilles wandered into water font bar in Buenos Aires. Their victory over the Nazi pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spec was still fresh in their minds. Already occupying places along the bar and at tables were interned survivors Of the Spec.
 When members of the opposing crews, who were blasting shells at each other only few weeks ago, met for the first time, they acted in an unusual fashion. Instead of hurling epithets, they ex. changed friendly greetings. Instead of pulling out guns, they shook hands. h. stead of killing each other, they drank together.
 At sea they were bitter enemies, but in this Buenos Aires barroom they were comrades all That is what war does to you. It pledges you to hate men with whom you would just as soon sit down for a friendly chat. It makes 1t sacred duty to kill and mutilate men to whom you would rather drink toast.

Registering Guns

Just before he was appointed to the U. s. Supreme Court, Attorney General Congress and asked, among other things, that ali persons possessing firearms be required to register them.
 This does not seem to be an unreason- able request. Most communities already have such 6 law. Most people do not object to licensing their automobile or even their dogs. After all, gun Is @ pretty serious article to be toting around, and the law enforcement agency of the federal government should have the right Co know who owns one.

"There is nothing more satisfying to the eye," writes New York Times edi- torial writer" than sunlit red barn set in deep snow against an ice-blue sky with a smoke plume waving lazily from the chimney of nearby farmhouse" The writer might easily have been up Con necticut way to see this typical scene on a morning following snowfall. For certainly yesterday morning on the hill sides, along the country roads or secluded streets of towns and little towns pre- sented pleasing sight. You might pick your barn out Woodbury way, in the Pros pect area, or up on the Northfield road that leads to Litchfield. And If you had your of the day, you might have snapped the "sunlit red barn set in the deep snow against an ice-blue sky" and planned to save 1t for next winters Christmas card. Not bad idea, that.

And to continue the winter motif the season has been genuine winter since Christmas. There has been clear, cold weather, with few passing snow storms; just enough to make a little coasting and skiing, and the weather just far enough above zero in these parts to keep com fortable; and not too much snow to spoil the good old sport of skating which encourages embrayo Shipsteads and Sonia Henies to try something bit intricate on our several city skating ponds.
