WE HAD THE IDEA
 The German government got the idea for the Bulletin from the U. s. State Department. Each day the Department sends out to it's embassies a digest of important news. Naval radio distributes it, practically without cost.
 The Bulletin comes directly to the German Embassy in Morse code, in English, from Germany. The Germans expanded on the U. s. idea by distributing the bull letin to local papers.
 When we heard about the Morse operator we couldn't help but feel sorry for him when this item came along the wire.

as other inventions made pos
sible by advanced science will
bring large profits to merchants
and manufacturers. Spring fash

which there will be large de-

more attractive than formerly
and their stocks more alluring.
International Affairs: Secret
knowledge of world changing
plans on the part OF foreign die
tators may inspire radical poll

Criticism based on guess work
will be severe as certain plans
for the navy arouse anxiety
among taxpayers. The stars

justified in extreme methods of
preparedness.
Persons whose birthdate it is

Editor The Times: Your edi-
torial on the "Scavenger Gang
was hardly of constructive
nature. II had nothing which
may be described as human SYM
pathy. 1t showed an utter cal
lousness to human misery. Why
put your foot on a fellows neck
when he is down
I have viewed the scene and
it is all you say it is. The odor
of the burning dump is worse
than that of the pulp mills.
What worthy project II
would be for our civic bodies TO
extend their efforts to rehabili-
tate these people!
As for jobs, you considered ii
noteworthy in your next issue
that three CCc boys had secured
employment. two of them with
private employers. This would
seem to imply forgetting is not

Having a column at your dis
posal, you should be able to or

The utilities. according to Mr..

for their financing on selling
bonds to the public rather than
stock issues. In many instances
the proportion is 60 per cent
of bonds and 40 of stocks; he be-
lieves in the exact reverse. II
is the heart of his contention
