tragic death of her husand she
collapsed and was under the care
and solicitious attention of the
wives of other naval officers UNI

With her when the Lopez

up the highway was Ensign
William Cole, U. S. N. R., Ensign
Lussier's former pal and close
friend, who had been detailed by
naval authorities to escort the
body and the widow to Woon-

The body will be taken to the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Philippe
Lussier, 1873 Park Avenue, Woon-
socket, the parents of the young
officer. They were notified yes

their duty with the naval aviation

Leasing Of Botanical
Gardens Considered
At Council McctinQ
TO STUDY OCCUPATION
AL TAXES FURTHER;
SPONSORCHIP OF WPA
PROJECTS is PROVIDED

City Council took action last
night 10 retain the Stock Island
botanical garden when the appli-
cation of E. r. SYcks. 1901 Divi-
sion street. to lease the property
and establish the Key West b.
tanical Gardens was considered.
Mr.. Sycks, a newcomer to this
city, proposed to lease the prop
erty from the city for five years,
with privilege to renew the lease
every five years for a total of
twenty-five years; to purchase
the plants now growing in the
gardens and to construct home
near the gardens following pur-
chase of property from the city.
The whole matter was left to a
special committee consisting of
City Attorney Aquilino Lopez,
Jr., and Councilmen Brinton,
Boyden and Ramsey. Terms of
lease will be determined for re-
porting back at the next meeting
of the council.
Gardening Project
In response to request from
Supervisor Joe Gates of the WPA
Gardening and Canning project,
the council, through the chair
man of the Finance committee,
will consider, Tic possibility of
supplying sponsorship for the
project in the form of clerical aid
and continued purchase of seeds.
A resolution presented brings
abatement of taxes for the E. H.
Cato property at Catherine and
Grinnell streets, which action
supplies further sponsorship for
the WPA Sewing Room at that
site.
Occupational Taxes
Subject of enforcement of oc-
cupational taxes in the city was
thoroughly covered in discussions
led by Councilman Ramsey.
First assuming full reSpon-
sibility for the drive now on to
collect these taxes, Mr.. Ramsey
answered two compliments, P.
L. Weatherford and Charles Ar
cher who operated tourist-lodging
homes to the effect that the city
must not discriminate in the mat
ter, but must treat all alike.
Continued payment of city ex-
penses, salaries, etc, depends on
the success of the drive now 60
ing onto effect full collection of
the Foecupational taxes, ne
stated.
In another instance, however,
Councilman Ramsey stated that
the matter of duplication OF
occupational taxes, especially in
regard to stores that paid one
classification of tax and then
were forced to pay still others
covering related merchandise,
should be looked into. The coun-
Gil designated that the Taxation
committee make complete study

Our Feathered Friends
Dear Boys and Girls:

Dear Boys and Girls:
Long, long ago people noticed
that some birds disappeared in the
fall, and were not seen again until
spring. Little was known of bird
migration. People thought that
birds went into Information in hol.
low trees or buried themselves like
frogs in the bottoms of lakes and
ponds. We know today this is not
true.
Bird migration is a most inter.
esting subject and many people
find real pleasure in it's study,
Proper means and ways of protec.
ton for our feathered friends is
essential; but some knowledge Of
our native birds = where they go
and when they return is also i'm.
portant in order to protect birds
from their enemies.
Make list of all of the birds
which you know remained with us
this winter. Now add to your list
the birds coming in daily from the
South. Look for the robin, black
bluebird, thrushes, song sparrow

reason why?

along the fence and not clean il
so the birds may nest there. OF

ALONG The ROAD

JOHN RANDOLPH STIDMAN

At Oklahoma City, Governor
Leon C. Phillips has declared war
on the PWA's great dam. The
power division of this Federal de-
partment is very anxious to COM
plete the project, but the Governor
says, mot by a dam-site."
In Kansas, Jim Servaes battled
for his life against 450-pound
buck. He was rescued by the State
game protector and warned to be
careful of bucks at this season.
Hereafter, Jim Servaes must learn
to pass the buck.
Governor E. D. Rivers, of Geor-
gia, barely escaped a night in Jail
on charge of contempt of court.
The inmates of the Jail were prob
ably all set to sing, "Rivers, Stay
Away From My Door" Just think
how many buckets of water would
be required to bale him out.
Harold E. Dahl, American avia-
tor whom Generalissimo Franco
expected to shoot during the Span

FLYERs or THE NIGHT

FLU EMS OF The Might
We can see the sun go sliding
Down beyond the western rim,
While the shadows gather swiftly
Where the earth looks far and dim.
All the stars have smiling faces
AS we lean against the sky,
And the old moon, never weary,
Races with us as we fly.
There is romance and adventure
Sweeping with US through the
night,
When the heart beats strong in
purpose
And the motors voice is right.
Let the storm king ride his chariot
In the courses of the sky,
And the arrows of his lightnings
Blind the pilots searching eye.
In a wide and vast domain,
For the moment, we are kings,
Though there's triumph or disaster
lowering at our wings.
There's a faith forever burning
In the mettle of the ship,
And We boast the hearts of sailors
AS the currents rise and dip.
There may be higher calling
But give us the trackless air,
Where the range is wide, un-
bounded,
And the tireless eagles fare.
We have found the way to glory
In the rhythm of the fight;
We have told the thrilling story
or the flyers of the night.

After Finland, What?

Her heroic struggle against impossible odds now
ended, Finland is trying to make the best of pretty
bad peace treaty. The invader has gained omnous
footh0d for future expressions and there is
to believe the victor viii be lenient At that, Finlands
worries as to her future as nothing to those Of the
other Scandinavian countries which dared not help
her in the recent struggle.
As the latter countries realize full well, Germany
covets the iron of Sweden the valuable forests Of
Norway and the rich farming areas of Denmark. She
needs them badly in her with the Allies the
blockade of her imports daily grows tighter. Finland,
the only land frontier of Scandinavia is prostate
before Russia, which also is power greedy.
Not the least danger lies in the possibility that
Sweden hoped to eliminate when she helped engineer
the Russo-Finn peace The Allies may have to invade
Scandinavia to prevent Russia and Germany from OBJ
tanning air naval bases there from which to harass
Britain Either Russia or Germany might well invade
to obtain such bases In either case, Norway and
Sweden undoubtedly would become the bloody battle
ground of the war; Britain certainly could not afford
to have Nazi planes based on the Norwegian coast.
One cannot help but hope that Finland, after losing
$1,000 her brave sons, will be allowed to retain
some semblance Of her liberty. The European war is
far from ended and it may be that the nations that
forsook her in her time of need will yet do something
for her. Unfortunately her $4,000 cannot be restored

another mans opinions

Propaganda And Peace

Nearly every American today believes that this
country was drawn into the first World War by propa-
ganda- It certainly is true that tales of German
atrocities in Belgium and France did much to nfame
the refusal to view any lurd dispatches from Europe
during the present conflict with anything but the pro-
verbal grain of salt.
Strangely, this "wising up" of the public has
reacted favoraby to Hitlers Naz prosecutions
in Austria, zecho-Sovalda and Poland have stirred
little resentment nj the u S. Our people are inclined
to doubt the severity of these prosecutions though
they are, in fact, only too severe.
Another inheritance" from the last war is the
feeling that the longer that the present conflict
tnues, the more likely to become involved It
was only after three years of the last struggle that
we entered it. For that any word that peace is
possible in Europe is received here with cheers.

It's a Little Embarrassing
For Congressional Members

And so a congress, especially a
house Of representatives. has some
thing in the nature of an unwanted
baby In its lap. You see, there are
43S members Of the house Of repre-
sentatives who soon are to confront
their constituencies, again. Just a
plain old-fashioned campaign. And
among these are many who are
really suffering. They do not know
whether the factional split between
the American Federation Of Labor
and the Congress Of Industrial Or
CARNATIONS has left sufficient
strength on either side of the divid-
ing line to permit bold position.
believe the chances are that con-
gress will take no action on the re-
port at this session. There are two
reasons for this conclusion. First,
the committee is continuing its in
vestigation and, second, there are a
great many members who want to
use the Roosevelt administrations
labor policies as campaign issues.
II the weaknesses are corrected be-
fore the dog days begin on the
hustings, that issue Is gone. But
strangely, the 100-per-cent New
Dealers are struggling to keep any
thing from happening to the Nation
al Labor Relations act. This looks to
be stupid politics.
Whether anything is done at this
session really is of no serious con-
sequence. The c. I. o. and John L.
Lewis no longer boss congress.
Some changes are certain later.
think they may come regardless Of
the position of the c. I. O. because
William Green and the American
Federation Of Labor is all fed UP
with the biased deal they have re-
ceived under the Wagner act and
the present board. Furthermore,
there are good many true friends
Of labor who can foresee that the
Wagner act type of policy will darn
age labor's cause in the long run.

Conserving Our Resources

One of the worhiest organizations in this country
is the National Wdlfe Federation, which with other
conservaonsts, societies and individuals, helped put
across National Wildife Restoration Week during the
current week. The Federation has been carrying on
an educational campaign through it's affiliated clubs
to the nation of the necessity of saving nat
ural resources before it is foo late. 1t has pointed
wildly to the ravages of soil erosion stream pollution
and forest destruction well to the despoiing of
our game and wildfe. Through newspapers and other
this campaign has reached thousands of persons
Not since the Administration of Theodore Roosevelt,
first great conservatonst President have the
of people of this country sneered at the efforts of those
who would prevent the wasting of our natural
resources. The effects of soil erosion have been
brought home to social and economic tragedies
in recent years Though they received far less pub
hcity, game officers and naturasts have proved to
that numerous species of native game animals and
birds faced extinction and have acknowledged the
loss.
It is only by gaining the public eye that conser-
vationists can obtain action to resources.
Almost everyone will agree that they should be saved,
but few people actually realize they in danger until
some sort of camapign this is staged. 1t seems
shame that we should be so unfrugal of one of our
most valuable and irreplaceabe possessions

One OF the D..!er outstanding rec
concentrations by the committee
concerned freedom Of speech. AS
the law now stands. it is nothing
short Of an abridgment of that free
dom Of speech Of which our ma
ton always has been so proud. The
law prohibits an employer from
talking or giving advice in any way
to any Of his employees wherever
the question of union organization
is concerned. And there, in my
opinion, you have censorship, a CEN
sorship just as fragrant. just as far
reaching and just as complete as is
exercised by the bloody-handed Sta
lin over the press Of so-called free
Russia! It is one Of the steps that
leads to other and more dangerous
acts by government - that leads
eventually to the point where citi-
zens are just numbers of men and
women who make good poems or
equally good cannon fodder If
needed.
The committee voted for elimina-
ton Of the boards division of re-
search. Here Is another cancerous
sore. No one knows why the division
Ii in existence, unless it be for pur-
poses Of subversive activity. The
chief Of the division is one David
Saposs.
The Saposs books and other writ
ings have been quite vigorously crit
icized at various times. His favorite
subjects are labor and political
movements. and he always treats
them from the extreme left-wing
radical view. Mr.. Saposs contends
that his writings are objective.
But apparently the committee saw
no need for the division Of research
in such an agency
