Where's Our Airport!

America is mobilizing for defense
training, in building ships, big and
little guns and airplanes by the
thousands. And since all those ar
planes will have to have ground
space from which to take off and on
which to land when they come down.
the question is again pertinent as to
what has become Of the chances Tor
the Henderson airport.
A bit of 4 start seemed to be IN
the making along in the spring, Dut
nothing has been heard of it lately.
Not that these army planes would be
sent here to use this field, but that
they will add untold impetus to avia-
ton in general, and, as every one has
before heard many times, the city
that ignores the progress and adj
vancement of this new science OF
TRANSFORMATION will see the day when
il will regret its inertia and indifler-
ence.
The government is spending mil
lions of dollars on landing fields,
and, while there is no definite aSSur-
auce that any and every proposed air
port can have d hunk OF this cash,
there is really 4 possibility Of 1t for
those localities that show determine
ton in providing something that has
potential value to the nations air
forces. Defeat could hardly be ad-
mitted until an effort has been made
to that end.
Quite frankly, we do not know
how much nor what can be done
about such an undertaking. We do
believe. however. that the proposal
is one that should be continuously
kept in mind. and that no opportunity
should be passed up for doing any
thing and everything possible to the
end that facilities be provided near
this city.

The Pot Is Boiling

The pot of discord and diSsenSion
is boiling at white heat south Of the
border down in Mexico, and an en-
plosion at any minute would not be
surprising. If and when it comes,
it will be full of dynamite for Uncle
Sam.
Trouble next door is not going to
simplify the defense problem for the
United States. 1t should not be for
gotten nor overlooked that something
of this sort is just the thing the die
ators are praying for. To have this
country involved or occupied right at
home would be greatly to their lill-
ing.
Should a revolution break out as
the result of the dispute over the
election held two months ago, there
will Immediately be the charge that
it is inspired and romented by agents
of Hitler or Stain. And it will not
be difficult to convince goodly sec
ton of Americans that such is true.
1t is pretty generally believed al
ready that Mexico is honeycombed
with foreigners preaching their ismS
and trying to make trouble.
Moreover, there is likewise Sus-
picion that Hitler would like to have
Mexico as a jumping off place should
ne ultimately be in position and de-
sire to strike at the United States.
While a revolution in the ne;ghbor
country to the south might not in
volve us directly. it is full of potential
dangers. Although it would probably
serve to unity the nation in its de-
Tense program and speed up that I'M
dertaking, it could conceivably so oc-
cupy our attentions as to weaken our
position elsewhere in the WORLD
where conditions already are causing
no little uneasiness in Washington
as, for instance. in the Far East.
The masses of the MeXicans are an
| ignorant and suspicious people. 1t is
easy to excite them with false ano
mischievouS propaganda. They con-
stitute fertile soil in which the SEEDS
of hate and discord can be sown by
just such agitators as Hitler uses
Enough of that has already beer
Gone, and it is likely true that such
activity is one phase Of at least tho
threat of revolution that now rear:
its ugly mead down there.
Trouble in Mexico will be serious
turn for the United States. Let IL
make no mistake about that.

ton is about to be resumed.
No directory is at hand to show
just how many young men and
women OF Henderson and Vance
county Will be in college away from
home this year. But very probably
the number will be as large as ever.
possibly even larger. High and
low. rich and poor. alike they go in
the pursuit OF knowledge they hope
to acquire to fit them better for
performing the tasks and diScharging
the duties Of life.
The world into which they will
eventually lind their way Will be
more complex and the activities of
life more complicated than that
which greeted those who preceded
them. But these are they who COM
prise the coming generation. The
problems will be theirs to face and
to srapple with. No one else can do
it for them.
1t is true. unfortunately, That we Of
the present generation have made a
pretty sorry mess of things. We
shall leave these young people many
fine things OF value that our own
foreiatherS did not know and could
not beqUeath TO us. But along with
all that will be an abundance Of mis-
conceptions and miserieS to be passed

1t can cut both ways. and those who
possess it must decide the direction
in which it will move. Il can build
