Noel Smith. who promoted soft

who before that took two softball
teams east to national tournaments,
has entered a new line of sports o..
He is now part-owner and manager

Smith has already started lining
up a program at the Academy to
put more zip in the sport in El

performances he will do just that.
Calexico high dropped practice
game to Grossmont high school
Thursday night . But CaleXlco
has done that so often in practice
games that the only reaction is
a complete indifference by valley
sport experts -.
Grossmont scored its only touch
down against Calexico second and
third stringers And there was
the feeling all through the game
that Calexico's varsity could have
scored almost any time it desired.
Valley football officials, who have
drawn a good deal of criticism from
the public this season, have shown
constant improvement in officiat-
ing since the start Of the season,
and have made few blunders in re-
cent games Most notable i'm
provement was made by Paul Brown,
Tunney Williams. Cecil Gillett, and
Rev. Ed Garter :. :.
Probably the best official in the
valley, Pete Sewers, has been used
less than any other referee in the
valley S. He has been too busy
acting as appointment secretary -.

contending Brawley Wild
cats. The kickoff is set for 3 O'CLOCK
Coach Ben Palmgren Friday an
nounced he would start underclass-
men for the most part in order to
give players valuable experience for
next years team.
The vikings, with only one league
victory, are already out of the run
ming for this years title, Palmgren
pointed out, and so will concen-
trate on a building program.
Brawley, on the other hand will
be out to win this one because a
loss would drop the Wildcats out

Changing the Shape of the Country

So many things are changing the
physical aspect of the country today that
we can scarcely comprehend them, and
can scarcely keep pace with the rapid
movement. The great dams that create
vast lakes which never existed before.
The new autohighways, cutting in new
ways through different routes. The new
public building, the new alrports, the
newly planted forests and parks. Truly
the country is being built over.
There are forces at work here that we
scarcely realize as yet. The necessities
of modern war sternly dictate that many
new industries shall be located In posi-
lions where they would not otherwise go.
While this should cause no loss to any
present city, it may well bring new plants
and industries to cities and locallCleS
which would not otherwise get them. In
general, for instance, 1t has not Deen
felt wise to establish new productlon
plants vital to defense closer than sou
miles to any border. The Utmost center
of the country, farthest from possible
bombing attack, has an obvious advan-
tage.. The concentration of Britain's
productive facilities in so small an area is
one of that country's greatest handicapS,
one that may yet be fatal. Britain, being
so small in area, could scarcely avoid that.
We can, and we should.
Those are general principles. In every
case the particular situation must be
considered. One airplane plant, for in
stance, about to build huge addition,
wants to build it adjoining its present
seaboard plant. The government is urg-
ing that it be built inland. Management
experience and trained personnel are now
concentrated at the present plant. TO
shift them and introduce new problems
of shipping and assembly of materials
might well cause delay in program
which now brooks no delay. But add1-
tional safety might outweigh all this.
To balance such factors off one against
the other is at present one of the jobs OF
the National Defense Committee. In one
case the factor of uninterrupted produc-
ton might be most important. In
another the factor of later and perma-
nent safety from attack might be para
mount. But in any case the trend is to
the interior for works vital to defense,
SO that even landing and occupation of
the coast would not Immediately paralyze
defense Here is factor, scarcely bearing
at all on the development of the country
two years ago, which is now highly i'm
portant. The defense effort is certain to
Introduce many decentralizing trends
wished for by planners for years, but do
it much faster than the planners could
have hoped.

into destiny; I will destine you to
the sword and We shall all bow down
to the slaughter; because when I
called, we did not answer; when I
spake, We did not hear; but We did
that which was evil in mine eyes,
and chose that wherein 1 delighted
not"
The Bible record of the handwrit-
ing which appeared on the wall in
Belchazzar's palace is found In DAN
lei 5:25-27. The word "Tekel,"
meaning Thou art weighed in the
balances and found wanting" shows
Gods judgment against religion as
we see 1t today. If people were being
taught the truth from the Bible,
there would be no reason for the
present state Of the world with its
confusion of beliefs and practices.
Today we even find college pro-
fessors trying to take the name
Jehovah out of the Bible. God has
a name, the same as anyone else
and that name Jehovah is going to
be made known throughout the
earth, whether men like 1t or not. In
Exodus 6: it is recorded that God
spake unto Moses and said unto
him, am Jehovah: and I appeared
into Abraham unto Isaac, and unto
Jacob, as God Almighty; but by my
name Jehovah I was not known to
them"
The apostle Paul wrote in 2-Cor-
inthians. 10: For we can do nothing
against the truth, but for the
truth" In other words he meant
why fight God?"

Maybe It's Just Fancy

It may be just fancy, but it does seem
as if there is a bit of an edge to the
former mellifluous tones of Governor
RAYMOND E. Baldwin in his radio talks
of recent date. And recent gllmpses OF
him in public appearances would seem
to indicate that maybe this campaign IS
causing the renowned Baldwin features
to lose some of their remarkable cheerful
ness and friendliness. If so, it's most nat
ural for Commissioner Robert A. Hurley,
Democratic candidate for governor, Is
doing everything he can to paste the
Republican record of the last two years
all over the map of Connecticut.
Republicans and Governor BALDWIN
have been rather proud of their record
in the last two years. We have been hV-
ing under what has been referred TO as
the friendly government, the one thaC
ENCOURAGES new business to come 10
Connecticut and make more jobs for Con-
necticut people, That's an admirable
quality in any government, but we don't
know verv many that have deliberately
tried to be unfriendly to new businesses:
At anv rate it has come to be password
among Republicans, those OF the front
rank, that the Baldwin administration
has succeeded where others failed, even
all over the United States.
Therefore, when Commissioner Hurley
explodes a little firecracker like the
Bridgeport concern whose number OF
employees was doubled to add to the I'M
posing list of those who found jobs in
new businesses, it's natural that there
might be repercussions. And when the
same Mr.. Hurley also prods into the labor
records of some of these new businesses,
again sore point is irritated. But Re,
pHblicans, of a practical bent OF MIND
must have known that sooner or later
Democrats were going to kick strenu-
ously at these extravagant COP claims
about the friendly government. We like
. friendly government, but we like a
modest one, too.

Lewi. To Support Willie?

The unconfirmed reports state that
John l.. Lewis is soon to announce his
support of Mr.. WILKES candidacy. II
the reports are accurate, the news Is
startling. The announcement may never
come. of course. It is doubtful If such an
announcement would have much effect
on the political situation. But 1t GER
tainly would add touch of humor to a
campaign that is not without bitterness.
One can picture the establishment on
the faces of laboring men who have
ALWAYS considered President Roosevelt
their friend. One can also picture the
establishment on the faces of our Repub-
lican friends. What warm greetlng
some of them will give to Mr.. Lewis!
How warm their faces will be!
The matter has it's serious aspects. It
will mean expense to some OF our con-
temporarieS. Cartoons cost money and
the old ones with the beetling brows and
protruding jaw will have to be scraped.
Furthermore, an editor has hard enough
task having to do an about-face at the
end of the campaign. The introduction
of Mr.. Lewis to some of his new friends
at Republican headquarters will strike
some unusual notes.
For instance, "Mr. Lewis, may pre-
sent Mr. Blank who wrote that humorous
and widely quoted editorial on you en-
titled, John l.. Lewis, Our National Men
ace. am sure you will enjoy him i'm
mensely" Or this one: John, I'd like
you to meet Mr.. George Blank. George
is the feature writer for the Swank Ma
gazine. I suppose that you are thinking
of the panning he gave you last October.
He pretended that you were Commun-
ist. Really he is fine fellow and just
between ourselves he has always admired
you. Haven't you, George"
If Mr.. Lewis announces that he will
support Mr.. Willkie, the Republicans OF
our acquaintance will have to do some OF
the fanciest double somerSaulting we
have ever seen and we still 60 to every
circus that comes to town. And will Mr..
Lewis look like the spirit of Halloween
wearing Republican halo! And what a
demand there will be among Republican
regulars that Mr.. Willkle place Mr.. Lewis
in the Cabinet if the Republicans win the
election!

A PEOPLE WHO LAY THEIR
LIBERTY AT THE FEET OF
ONE MAN ARE UNLIKELY
LONG TO ENJOY 1T

Hartford, Conn, Oct. %, 1910.
Editor of the Democrat:
Democracy has come to be taken
so for granted in this country that
we have cease to question what it
is or what it does. To some it Is a
social opportunity, to others a sys-
tenn of government and to others
the privilege of voting.
In its truest sense, Democracy is
way of civil life. Democracy in
America stands for the faith that
the conduct Of life under law is the
common responsibility of all. We
affirm devotion to this sense Of
common responsibility as intense as
our hostility to every attempt to
place any man or men above the
laws which the people have decreed.
Admitting that our ideas of De-
mocracy cannot be limited within
hard and fast boundaries. we can
at least try to find the source of
its life.
Democracy does not spring from
any power outside Of ourselves. 1t
arises out Of the faith that man
has powers and opportunities for
which sacrifices are supremely worth
while. This faith seeks to give di-
rection to his life.
The source from which Democ-
racy springs makes life Of the most
value when its direction depends
upon ourselves. Civil liberties have

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
At the present time the news
papers give us headlines which
seem about equally divided between
Roosevelt VS.. Willkie and the present
World. War. Often times we find
what might seem to be an insight
ficant item stored away in an OBJ
scure corner, but which is as far
reaching as any other item on
the front page.
Today we find much criticism OF
various denominations and the do
ings of the clergy representing the
same. The press tells us of Dean D.
E. Roberts of Union Theological
Seminary making a vespers address
in which he stated: 1.-THE church Is
enmeshed in the social pattern and
will fail if it becomes merely an
echo of our own voices"
The Sunday Hartford Courant,
October goth carries full page de-
scription of the people who attend
these places and what they really
go there for and how they act
toward others. That the so-called
churches will fail and lose members
was aforetold by Jesus himself. Not
only are the people to blame but the
clergy are to blame as well. 1t is re-
corded in Matthew oath chapter
that Jesus went out from the tenn
pie, and was going on his way; and
his diciples came to him to show
him the buildings of the temple
(Which they must have thought had
some value, as they were beautiful
but he answered and said unto
them, see we not all these things?
Verify I say unto you, there shall
not be left here one stone upon an
other that shall not be thrown
down. And as he sat on the mount
of Olives, the diciples came unto
him privately (for first hand in
formation), saying, Tell us, when
shall these things be, and what shall
be the sign of thy coming, and Of
the end of the world? And Jesus
answered and said unto them, Take
heed that no man lead you astray
For many" shall come in my name
saying, I am the Christ; and shall
lead many astray."
Take note Of the careful way In
which Jesus taught his dicipileS an6
then look around you and see all
the false Christs" that are clut-
tering up the earth and fooling the
people into the belief that "They
are the one and only" Today there
are many honest minded people who
attend some UNCONVENTIONAL system
thinking that they are on the right
road to life everlasting. Some Of
these people are now openly con-
demning the churches for ALLOWING
gaming devices to be set up in ordel
to gain money.
That God foreknew and condemns
this practice is shown in Isaiah SIS

Massachusetts is having more or less
of a time with it's racing problems. Al
though the Eastern Racing Association
put in application for 60-day meet next
wear at Suffolk Downs an effort is being
made to circulate petition that would
call for referendum on the matter OF
legalized betting. There is only one
horse race track in Massachusetts, now.
The former Agawam track is no longer
operated since residents of the county IN
which it is located voted down legallzed
betting and several years must elapse be-
fore the same subject can be placed on
the machines again. Should the petition
succeed and voters be asked to decide
against racing in eastern Massachusetts
the uproar produced last year over the
operation of dog tracks might well result
in the elimination of Suffolk Downs as
well. That would leave NarraganSett and
Rockingham in New Hampshire in con-
troll of the entire season.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-10-24

An odd commentary on the commotion
that was caused by the imposition of a
toll along the Hutchinson River Parkway
in Westminster County is the fact that
out of the $279, 16O collected in motorists
dimes from Aug. 81, 1889, to March 5,
1910, only $50, 657 was paid back to those
drivers who kept their receipts and ap-
piled for the refunds The last day for
making application for refunds was Oc-
tober /. Of course a good many people
never kept the receipts because they prob
ably never expected to drive over the
roadway again. Others lost them, but
many must have had the receipts and
overlooked the chance to get back their
payments. And yet the tolls caused a
howl of protest. But only $33,657 worth!
