Sunday morning little John complained to his
Their that he couldn't why she had to leave the
funny papers and go to Sunday School. The mother
then broke into mpassioned defense of the merits
of reli gious education and of the church. But the
arguments somehow didn't sink in, for the simple
that John had known his mother and
father to be really interested in the church school
and the church. They hadn't even been there.
I read this the other day; Emily, whose mind is

oWledges that she failed because she did not learn
the fifty lines of poetry assigned to her grade.
"Bai1y Williamson" says her mother sternly, nit
In an hour if you had put your mind to it. It's
that poetry is Important. Poetry contains the best
thought of the ages. I certainly don't want
daughter of mine to grow up wi thout real love of
poetry"
Emily listens urmoved. Perhaps she is vaguely
proud of her mother's defense of poetry and she
supposes that her mother srbscribes to the theory
she has just set forth; but Emily her

read netting. Indeed there is no poetry in the

want to repeat here the statement I made at the
last Citizens Association letting. regret sincere
1y that in this column two weeks ago I, in error
laid at the door of the Athletic the proposed
plan to change the Associations meetings from Non
day till Tuesday evenings. was mislead by the
fact that Mr.. william Nebblett, President of the
Club, made the motion, added fact that there
was an unusual number of members of the Club pres
ent. But they were present individual citizens
and represented official action of the Club.
or course the real point of my column still
stands. 1t is that all of US, whether as indivi-
duals or as organizations, must do all power
to strengthen, rather than weaken, the democratic
process in this town. in this country, in the world.
That do is fast becoming a life or death pro-
position.
Mr.. Nebblett and I have least one thing in CON-
mon. We have had individual actions confused
18th our official ones. In this town where there
are so many organizations, many of them overlapping,
it is difficult keep in m nd whether the person
speaking Comnt y Manager Braden or CT y Manager
Braden or just Citizen Braden; whether it is Di-
rector of Public Safety Mabee ty
Manager lfabee, whether it is Athletic Neb-
blett or organist Nebblett or Citizen Nebblett,
whether Colmnist Custer G.C.S. Director Custer.
Several times it has come to my attention that
statements make here are felt by some, at least,
to be pronomcements of the cooperative of which
happen to be director.
And although the fact is that the statements that
here make represent nothing but my opinion and
although have Leaned backwards to avoid dis
cussing topics specifically cooperative, I realize
that as long as I continue to write this column, In
which call the shots as see then, shall embar-
rass to some extent the cooperative. The advisable
lily Of NY continuing this column while being di-
rector of the cooperative has been challenged in my
mind well as in the minds of others.
All things considered, however, have been led
to believe that could render valuable service to
the town by continuing both these activities. I
should appreciate further advice from my readers,
both members of the cooperative and others. If the
consensus of opinion shows be against the above
conclusion shall suspend publication of this
till my tern of office in the cooperative is
completed; subject at all times, of course, to my
readers and my edit tors pleasure.
What is your pleasure. Howard C. Custer

 In a plea for a concerted return of all mankind to a clearer, simpler understanding of Gods simple mes- sage to all, Major Hughes aptitude for anecdote and reminiscence al- ways provides interest for his audi ences. Citations for bravery under fire in France during 16 months of service ha.e come to him. His en- trance into America at a time when gas-lights and gas-buggies were lighting up and speeding up a new country into new era are not without interest to all who may think of attending these meetings.
 A laugh that will warm the heart and make it receptive to thought with the power to completely change ones outlook on life is what many need. In the record of this evangel- ist's services there is 8 steadily growing host of converts, won by the very humanenesS of his message, and by the depth of reality in his words written in his own heart and mind during the almost half-cen- tury that he has worked among the poor and distressed, among the pois- ons and hatreds of the great World War, experiences that now actuate him to help.

Veteran Salvation Army Worker to Start Preach-

Major Joseph Hughes of Akron, Ohio, will conduct a preaching mission at the local corps of The Salvation Army commencing next Tuesday, March 12, and concluding Sunday night, March IT.

 Since receiving his commission from General Evangeline Booth in the Grecian theater, London, in 1894, Major Hughes has seen service both abroad and in this country which provides him with ample il- lustrationS for the presentation of his message. A successful officer, retired in 1886 because of having reached the age-limit, he neverthe- less, since retirement has engaged in IS months of consistent evangelistic work.
