Pray that those nations now grasping
at each others throats lay down their arms
and for once talk earnestly of peace. No
greater blotch appears on the escutcheons
of the last two decades than the fact that
with peace within their reach intelligent
rulers-so called continue their hurting of
epithets at each other-and men, real men,
are forced by these rulers to lay in muck
and mire and even rot on battlefields.
Some day We'll see the futility in such
acts of barbarism. And it would be marve-
lous if the dawn of Easter morn 1910, shed
the light on wars assininity and brought
it to an end.
What a paradox indeed it must be to
those who make wars to hear the resound-
ing words, "He Is Risen" in the churches of
the world; and from across the land laid
waste by machine gun fire and death deal
ing bombs hear also the faint words of des-
pair, "He Is Dead" \

Sixty Years of
Service to America

LAST WEEK NEWARK OFFICERS OF
the Salvation Army joined with their
comrades over America to celebrate the SIX
tieth anniversary of their religious and well
fare activity in the United States. In Bat
terry Park, New York, a few yards from
where the first Salvation Army contingent,
headed by Commissioner George S. Railton,
disembarked from the ship Australia on
March 10, 1880, an open-air meeting was
held. From coast to coast the membership
of the organization paused momentarily in
honor of the past-and then plunged once
more into the problems of the present.
In American cities there are many So
cial agencies, and there is room-and need
in our great social pattern for all of
them Outstanding, though, has been the
work of the Salvation Army in ministering
both to the spiritual and physical welfare
of forgotten men," Their picturesque cos
tunes have become symbols of social work
and social mercy throughout the land-and
many a man has been reclaimed for society
and for himself by the patient perseverance
of their work.
And, throughout the years that they
have served, the organization has enjoyed
an ever-growing membership. From hand
full of workers who landed at the Battery
in 1880, the United States forces of the Ar
my have increased to 4,787 commissioned
officers and cadets and 81 500 local officers
and bandsmen, with representatives in
every state in the union. And their work
has been recognized, not only by the masses
they serve, but by civic, state, and national
leaders. To New York, President Roosevelt
sent Heartfelt appreciation" of the good
works of the organization, saying: "lt is
a fortunate thing for our country that its
beneficient activities have been carried on
here for three-score years" Other cOngra-
tulatory messages came, too, as Governor
Lehman of New York, former President
Herbert Hoover, and Alfred E. Smith paus-
ed in their work to honor the many con-
structive and courageous Army workers
throughout the land.
The history of the Salvation Army has
not been without it's discouragements for
leaders and workers. There have been OBJ
stacles, and indifference, and the petty
greed and corruption of cities to deter them
but they have marched forward. And
will continue, we hope, for another sixty
years, and longer.

A Little knowledge
Is Often Dangerous

"a LITTLE KNOWLEDGE, BUT NOI
enough" might appropriately be the epi-
taph on many tombstone. There is dan
ger in half-truths and in only partial knoWl-
edge. And many tragedy has resulted
because men-and boys-knew essentials,
but had not mastered many of the hidden
propensities of an agency or machine.
Long ago someone said, Fools rush in
where angels fear to tread, and the saying
has frequently been used to deride the ig-
norant. But neither fools nor angels are
here defined-and it may be that the fool
ish one is the half-informed who goes ahead
counting on partial knowledge to protect
. him. And the angel the one who, knowing
nothing, ventures not at all.
No doubt Safety Supervisor A. G. Glib
bony of the Ohio Power Company, was
thinking of this, too, when he issued bull
letin called kite Flying and Spring" warn
ing boys of the hazards of overhead wires.
Boys today are science-minded- and many
of them possess knowledge of electrical
wires, current, and machinery. All too fire.
quently, though, a tragedy results because
an intelligent boy counts too heavily on his
knowledge and learns = or his parents
learn-too late that there were other fac
tors that were not taken into account. The
Leader feels that it can not too greatly
stress the necessity for observance of the
simple rules which Mr.. Gibbony outlined.
Boys are going to fly kites, that may be
asserted positively, and there is something
about kite twisting and pirouetting and
tugging against the wild winds of March
that is as much a part of spring as the first
robin. And no matter how many contriv-
ances are strung in the way, they are going
to continue On the outskirts of the city,
though, there are many open acres which
offer ideal places for the hte-minded boy;
and it is there that he may practise the past
time both with pleasure and safety
The safety-minded careful boy will fol-
low these rules, Mr.. Gibbony says, and we
sincerely add our endorsement:
l. Never use a wire or tinsel cord for
kite string.
2. Never fly kite near any overhead
wires
8. Never run across streets or roads.
A. Never fly kite in the rain, for wet
string can conduct electricity.
5. Never climb pole or tower to get
kite out Of trouble.

Among the younger profess
sional men of Newark who find
it hard to keep up with business
and sleep is DR.. Don Sperry.
Don enjoys a practice that is
outstanding. Seldom during
office hours is there even a
semblance of a seat possible, and
furniture seems to be ample, too.
His entire time, if it were poss-
ible, would be consumed by calls
at his office, but in addition,
there are numerous patients
confined to their homes needing
attention. Those who envy the
life of a doctor or surgeon with
a formidable practice should
balance envy with the fact that
there is tremendous physical as
we'll as mental effort attached to
daily duties. Hours can seldom
be called the sole property of the
medic. He is on constant call
and demand at times are close
to being out of reason. And be-
ing guardians of health they
fall naturally into immense re-
sponsibilities.

Visiting Canada

In one way it is unfortunate that the United States felt called upon this year to require suddenly that all visiting Ca nadians must have passports. This led many people to the natural conclusion that the thing worked both ways and that passports were required of Ameri- cans visiting Canada. That isn't true. Canada badly needs American tourists this summer because the dollars they spend enable Canada to use those dollars to buy badly needed supplies in the United States. So Canada did not apply the same restrictions against Americans that the Americans had just applied to them. Travel into Canadad is no more restricted this year than it ever was.
 In Canada it is generally believed that rumorS of difficulty in travelling in Can ada are deliberately spread by fifth col umnists" bent on discouraging this travel and thus handicapping Canada. Whether that is true or not, Americans ought gen. erally to understand that Canada has left the door wide open this summer, war pr no war, with Welcome" written broad ay on the mat.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-07-29
Both From '.Scratch"

The Democratic Party of Connecticut faces the task this fall of regaining the laurels snatched from it two years ago by an usurpation of its voting provinces by the so-called protest" vote. There should be no such factor entering into the campaign this fall. The McLevy-for- Governor platform or appeal cannot be predicated on the need or desire to cast out Of office or diScredit either of the major political parties. 'It remains to be seen, therefore, whether the present COP incumbentS have gained in strength since they went into office in January, 1889.
 Ordinarily it might be argued that close to two years in power should have enabled the Republicans to create political ma chine that would repel any and all at tackS. But the new Republican Party of this state is not built on the same foundation as was the highly successful Roraback machine. Nor have the last two years given the Republican rulers much opportunity to distribute patronage handsomely, thus insuring a good nucleus of governmental votes to begin this 1940 campaign with. Quite the con- trary is true in this one respect.
 So on this score it might be argued that the Democrats and Republicans get off to a fairly even start this fall. It all depends on the candidates; it de- pends on the issues they espouse; it depends, too, on conditions throughout the nation and the world. There is national election this fall and it's effect will be felt here in Connecticut as else where. Right now no one can judge accurately how public feeling is going to run next November. But it's pretty cer- tain that Connecticut will either be swayed towards President Roosevelt and what the administration has to offer or it will be diametrically opposed.
