Some people hate work and

work did not have the dreary toll
that it now has because of sin but
work is a necessary and useful
blessing when properly considered.

DONOvAN's SOLDIERS

DONOVAN'S SOLDIERS
Wild Bill Donovan, the able law
yer, who turned out to be a whiz-
bang soldier, a fighting fool and a
medal of honor man in the World
war, is advocating something new
in raising armies.
He wants us to stop sending our
kids first to war. He says that the
only excuse for it was that they
have greater endurance in a sudden
squirt of speed, though not in long,
steady pulls. Since soldiers are,
to a continuously greater extent,
going to war on wheels and pulling
mechanical levers instead of club
bling muskets, he thinks men up to
50-and even older-could do just
as well.
I know what is eating Wild Bill.
I have felt it gnawing me. He is
reaching the age where, if we don't
pass law or something, he might
have to stay out of any possible
shindy himself.
Seriously, Bills got something
there. Boys scarcely more than
children fight wars. There are
more reasons for this than Colonel
Donovan gives. One is that, where
there is any element Of volunteer
ing, they are more impulsive and

America.
The President was talking about
the war and the question of national
defense, especially as it applied
to the Western hemisphere. To
illustrate his point, he turned sud-
denly to Mr.. White, who was sitting
in the group before him.
For instance, Bill White may
think he's lot safer in Kansas than
I am up in Hyde Park, N. ""
said the President, "but he isn't"
He went on to explain that if
enemy bombers were to seek out
Hyde Park they would have long
way to fly across the Atlantic. But
if they wanted to bomb Bill White
in Kansas, it was relatively easy
for them to fly up from Mexico
where enemy air bases could be
established.
Under the Dome.
One of the most inspiring sights
in our democratic government is to
see the President of the United
States address a joint session of
congress. These gatherings include
not only the President and men,
bers of the house and senate, but
also cabinet members, Supreme
court justices, foreign diplomats,
members of the Presidents family,
plus social and political leaders
all seated in the house of represen-
tatives.
But-some members of congress
heave a sigh of relief when these
sessions are adjourned. What they
know, though others do not, is that

Furthermore, the roof Of the SEN
ate chamber is supported by SINH

recommended that it be replaced.

assistant architect Of the Capitol,
solemnly warned members of the

OAKLAND, CALIF.-Final prepa-
rations are being made here for the
first charting of the Aleutian islands,
of the coast Of Alaska, by the new
81, $50. 900 survey ship of the United
States coast and geodetic survey.
The ship, christened the Explorer,
which is the largest the coast and
geodetic survey has ever had, was
constructed at Seattle and recently
made its first shakedown cruise to
this city.
Glacier County chief., 1940-05-03

As the cruise demonstrated that
the ship is all that was expected of
it, it will sail soon for the Aleutian
survey, and will continue the work
there till October.
The ship was built in accordance
with all new safety designs and is
equipped with ultra modern marine
survey instruments. It is the larg-
est ship ever constructed for such
purposes.
To date the Aleutian islands have
Glacier County chief., 1940-05-03

never been surveyed and charted.
Once the task is completed, it will
be possible for vessels crossing the
Pacific to follow true Great Circle
route, instead of the compromise
route now used south of the Aleutian
islands.
Charting Of the islands also will
play an important role in the ma
tional defense, as it will permit the
navy department to go ahead with
plans for construction of air bases
and other facilities that have been
planned.

U. s. AND THE WAR


WASHINGTON.-A group of farm
leaders went to the White House to
urge Roosevelt to support the Jones
bill, which would cut interest rates
on government farm loans. And
while they got the Presidents sup
port, they also got an earful on an
other subject-why the U. S. will
not get involved in the European
war.
The discussion began when one Of
the farmers asked Roosevelt wheth-
er propaganda and the loss of for
eign markets would affect U. S.
neutrality. This brought an en-
phatic negative from the President.
81 don't think the American
people will lose their heads to the
extent Of being drawn into the
European conflict" he said in eff
feet. ut is true that the emotions
of people can be quickly aroused,
but reason and logic always triumph
in the end. That's why our demo-
cratic form of government has sur
vived so long.
"Take, for example, the arms en-
barge fight. There was a lot Of
talk from certain elements during
that controversy, that if we lifted
the embargo it would drag US into
the war. Well, all that talk has
died down and you don't hear it
any more. There was no truth in it
and it evaporated.
"The same happened during the
debate over extending the recipro-
cal trade treaties. There was lot
of unfounded talk then, but it has
all blown over unless political OPP
portunists inject the issue into this
years campaign"
'What about the Nazi invasion of
Denmark and Norway" asked an
other of the farm visitors. Twill
that endanger our neutrality"
Again Roosevelt shook his head.
"As long," he replied, "as we keep
a level head, our feet on the ground
and maintain liberal government,
we have nothing to worry about"
