you should be willing to make
sacrifices for your fellow Saxons,
not to organize just for yourself
but for others also. Many huge
tasks have been made easy thru
such cooperative spirit, all pull
ing together and building for the
success of a certain movement in
stead of every one trying to put
himself forward through the
working Of others. To bring sun
shine and happiness to the hearts
of others lot more real Joy than
anything that you could do for
yourself.
1t is instinct with every true
Saxon to make contribution to-
wards the happenings of his peo-
pie. Why: Because it is the best
insurance for your own happi-
ness.
Another interesting point
brought out was the facing of the
fact that basketball. track, base
ball. etc. are not enough for a
drawing card to interest all mem
hers and bring in new ones. Sing
ing should be added wherever
possible. 1t was brought out that
III some cities the Luther League
groups offered more in their meet
ings than the Juniors. Nothing
can be taken from the Luther
League to challenge this state
mcnt, and there are good reasons
to believe that the members of a
church organization will apply
principles so learned. not only to
their daily life. but also to the
Juniors Organizations.
Time did not permit much dis
cussion ON the subject of "con-
structive state of mind, at con-
ference of this type or any other.
At the next conference some
time will be spent on this ubject.
and convincing illustrations will
be given.
The National Committee is
grateful for the arrangements of
the Conference and wishes to
thank Mr.. Bernard karoly Of
Homestead for making possible
the staging of this meeting.

District Conference
Shows Cooperative
Spirit Among Juniors

In spite of the icy weather. the
representatives to the District
Conference in Homestead last
Saturday evening received a
warm reception from the Home
stead Club. 1t is possible that the
members of that group realized
that this gathering would have
much to do with successful future
of their Junior Club.
A spirit of cooperativehelpiul-
ness prevailed throughout the en-
tire meeting. Representatives
were present from New Castle.
Farrell, Salem, Youngstown and
Monaco besides members of the
Homestead Club. Several Senior
members from Homestead also
were present.
Discussion showed that too
many things have been taken for
granted. i'll the past. by many
clubs. Too much is expected from
past leaders. 1t was shown at this
meeting that there is enough in
terest in the average young man
to replace these past leaders. All
that is needed is the opportunity
and some inspiration.
The frankness shown by the
Homestead Seniors and Juniors
in the discussion relating to their
problems was ample proof of po-
sitlvc constructive motives. Such
statements as, I'VE have no place
to meet and did you ever ask
for placc:' would tend to lead
into high tcnsioned strife be-
tween young and old but on the
contrary, all discussion was taken
with a fine spirit. A spirit to build
and strengthen, not tear down.
The most remarkable point
brought out at the meeting was
the general recognition of the
fact. that a person could not ex-
pect to get anymore out Of a club
than what he put into it. That

To East
Congratulations upon winning
the baseball championship. In my
'stimation East is the most Sue
cessful active club in sports. Run
ners up in basketball, champs in
baseball, and had there been a
track meet they no doubt would
have run away with it.. Too bad
here are not more clubs as active
as East, if there were, the T. S.

We Of this country are anxious
that we not be drawn into any
foreign war. The warming against
entangling alliances has often been
cited. As matter of plain fact the
danger of our becoming involved in
the present war is not so apt to
come from entagling alliances or
because of the fact that we are Civ
ing aid to the Allies as it is from
the Monroe Doctrine. The Monroe
Doctrine, long an accepted prin-
ciple of this government, virtually
makes the cause of every nation in
the Western Hemisphere our cause,
for by it, if they are invaded we are
bound to aid them. 1t so happens
that most of the countries on this
hemisphere would, in the case of
an invasion, become a liability ra-
tner than an aid to this nation. The
strict iSolationists, would, if they
were sincere, stand for the repud-
iation Of the Monroe Doctrine.

ONE MANS OPINION

A subscriber of the masculine sex
comments upon the number of lady
tourists who travel in Stacks. He
mentions that though local Ken
neWick women wear them and the
custom is easier to accept each
summer, still the picture of a lady
stepping from an auto, clad in a
Wrinkled pair of Stacks is not pleas
ing on the average masculine eye.
He figures in such cases as these the
husband shouldn't find it necessary
to shave! Folks who live around
resorts become used to the sight
of too-large women wearing too
baggy a slack suit. The outfit may
be more comfortable but there is
one type of wearer who should con-
suit full length mirror before ap-
pearing III Stacks in public. Re-
this is the other fellows
opinion!

We are predicting that since war
has become largely mechanical af-
fair that age limits for military SER
vice will be extended. A forty-five
year old man can drive a tank as
well as a twenty-five year old man.
Some folks are such strong paci-
ticts that reasonable doubt is JUS
titled that they would even fight for
their liberty. We feel that every
man has a right to his opinion but
it is hard to view with anything less
than contempt the creature that
would presume to live in free
country and not be willing to flight
to preserve that freedom. He is
willing to let some one else 60 out
and face the enemy while he cow
ers at home muttering to himself:
This is a great country, great
liberty, but it is against my religion
to fight for it."

If the depression lasts long enough
to bring back, into good repute the
time hOnored virtue of thrift it will
not have been entirely without bene-
fit. The young man or the young
woman who embarks on life with
out having learned the rare virtue
of thrift and self denial starts with
handicap. Most of the restitution
OF later years and the opportunities
lost because one did not have the
money at the opportune time to
make an advantageous investment,
can be traced to the fact that as
young man or young woman the
individual never learned the simple
virtue of thrift, of saving, and self
denial.

In our opinion South America
and Mexico will never be an asset to
this country when it comes to the
matter of Western Hemisphere soil
darity and mutual protection. Rath-
er under the Monroe Doctrine they
will be liability. The peoples of
these countries are fertile soil for
the propagandists of foreign isms
inimical to democracy. We, under
the Monroe Doctrine, are bound to
go to their aid in the event they are
invaded but could expect little real
help from the countries themselves.

ARE WE TO BLAME?

They ask if they are forsaken by
& protecting Father, they pray that
guiding hand will see them thru
their difficulties, they speak in des-
pair of lost people and of a re-
ligion failing to help in extreme
hopelessness, Of charity and love
fail to accomplish, the power of
faith slipping, the loss of hope for
nations salvation What can be
wrong with such a world? What
blame do we place on others and
what amount do we hold for our
selves? Some place the source OF
trouble in the homes where there is
lack of religious training and a
Christian background. Perhaps
trouble ahead does comes from such
homes as these. It's the opinion the
youth who is raised with no re-
Egion does not seek it later as a
man. We all acknowledge that fear,
hate and greed are the dominant
forces back of present day diff
culties. It these qualities could be
conquered in the child during early
years perhaps the man would over
come them. The background of
delinquents is often found as an
excuse. Those youths who will be-
come our statesmen, who will lead
our government and make our laws,
should have a foundation of spiri-
tual training with the belief of
goodness and manliness the foun-
dalton of their early years. If Ia
ter they lose their convictions then
may we ask what we have left I'M
done.

The scarcity Of trained workers in
the airplane industry and other
fields of industry brings one step
nearer the time when the school
system of the country will all in
clude a vocational training course.
The schools of the future are going
to send young men and young wo-
men out into the world trained to
work with their hands and heads in
stead of sending them out with their
heads cranmed full of historical
dates, mathematical therems, rules
of grammar, and chemical equations
that in no wise correlate with any
thing they find to do later on in the
world. The slavish devotion to the
three RS as the beginning and the
end of education in our schools is
a monument of stupidity.

"The world is getting better i'm
more ways than one," we heard an
old timer remark yesterday. 81 can
remember" he said, when few OF
the houses in my town had screens
or screen doors. The flies crowded
into the house at meal time and
swarm over the table. 1t was moth
ing at all to fish several of them
out of the half melted butter or the
cream pitcher. The strange thing
about it was, that no one thought
anything about it. Nowadays a
single fly in the house will give
housewife the titters, and she won't
rest until she hunts it down and
swats it," A fly in the butter today
would be considered disgrace.

There are two reasons why a de-
mocracy is the most wasteful form
of government known. The first is
that a democracy is the only bust
ness institution that will take a
man who has never been able to
earn over $500 a year in any
competitive line of endeavor and set
him in position paying $500 a
year. The other reason is that
while everyone complains that a
democracy is wasteful no one ever
offers to stop the waste by refusing
to accept a special privilege or
salary for three times their worth.

We ran across a person vesterds

We ran across a person yesterday
who was violently opposed to COM
pulsory military training and was
also opposed to our sending every
possible aid short of soldiers to the
Allies. Our guess is that if we fail
to get sufficient aid to THE Allies
and fail to get it to them soon
enough, the question of compulsory
military training is going to be set
tied in this country by remorseless
necessity. In the light of what has
happened to other nations, we must,
OF necessity, face the facts realis-
tically.
