quietly smooth the covers or straighten
out body doubled into knots from
wriggling. But she does not say: GO
to sleep" nor threaten that "If you
don't take nice nap, you can't -"
In fact she does not worry at all about
whether a child actually sleeps; She
knows that this does not make much
difference. Her aim is to have each
child relax.
The Amount Of Sleep Varies
NURSERY school teachers know that
all children of the same age do not
sleep the same amount of time John
sleeps a great deal more on the
average than Jane. though the birth
days of both children are only day
apart. And neither John. nor Jane. nor
any other child. sleeps regularly the
same hours every day. Some days
John sleeps more than his average
amount. other days very much less
But over a period of two or three
weeks, he evens up his sleep SO that
the average remains remarkably con-
slant.
Sleeping. it seems. is somewhat like
eating. The organism has to be ready
for them before either function can be
accomplished. You cannot eat, if you
are not hungry; and you cannot sleep.
if the atmosphere is too hectic. Muir
sery schools plan to make their chill
dren sleepy at naptime by morning
of outdoor exercise and activity. They
provide regular rest periods in rooms
permeated with an atmosphere con-
ducive to sleep. They believe that
children whose organisms need the
sleep right then will take it; Others will
take it later. 1t just is not in the cards
for all preschool children to sleep the
same time and the same amount each
day. Missing little sleep is no more
serious than missing a meal. Healthy
children can skip either occasionally
with no serious effects. But meals and
rest periods should be provided reg
ularly, so that the children can take
both food and sleep when and if they
need them.
Make it the natural and happy
thing, then, and children will sleep.

Threatening Strike

New York, n. Y-Actors, singers
and announcers on network sustain
ing programs are to receive pay in
creases under the terms of a tenta-
tive agreement reached by repersen-
tatives of the American Federation of
Radio Artists and the three major
hroadcasting chains.
The agreement, which is subject to
ratification by the unions 1O,500
members in all parts Of the country,
was negotiated through the interven-
ton of the New York State Media
ton Board after the radio artists had
threatened a strike.
Jules S. Freund, executive secre-
tary Of the State board, said the ac-
cord covered all points of difference
between the union and the National,
Columbia and Mutual Broadcasting
Systems, but he declined to make pub
lie the terms pending their submis-
sion to the union membership. From
other sources, it was learned that the
agreement provides higher pay for all

The negotiations did not affect
sponsored broadcasts, which are COW
cred by a separate contract between
the radio artists and the advertising
agencies. This agreement expires next

The old contract on sustaining pro-
grams ran out September Il and the
union members in New York, Chicago,
Los Angeles and San Francisco au-
thorized their officers to call strike
if an acceptable substitute could not
be arranged.
The State Mediation Board, through
its chairman, William H. Davis, per
suaded the union and the networks
to send representatives to a series OF
conferences, at which the accord was
reached.
Direct negotiations between the
radio artists and the broadcasting
companies had broken off before the

Edwin S. Smith Called
a "Conrude" Of Reds

Washington, d. ca witness told
the House committee investigating
the National Labor Relations Board
that Edwin S. Smith, board member,
was designated as a "comrade" by a
Mexican labor group in 1898.
The witness, Hartley Barclay, edi-
tor Of a trade publication, who at
tended sessions of the Confederation
Of Mexican Workers in September,
1888, read from a paper issued by
the International Congress Against
War and Fascism, one of the sections
of the labor session, and said it indi-
Gated that Smith had been elected
secretary of the United States group
of the congress and was called a
"comrade.'
Barclay also said that Smith spoke
in a hall at Mexico City decorated
with Communist symbols.
Ralph Emerson, former legislative
representative Of the National Mari
time Union, C. |. 0. affiliate, testified
earlier that Smith "favors a line of
policy paraIleling that of William l..
Foster and Earl Browder."

Decent Conitions
Strongest Defense
Social Worker Warns Not to
Give Up Recently Coined
Scciol ADVANTAGES

New York City QLNS).-Achieve-
ment of decent living conditions for
every one constitutes "the strongest
defense we have" the Rev. Bryan j.
McEntegart, president of the New
York State Conference on Social Work
told the annual meeting Of the con-
ference here.
"Rearmament must not submerge
human rights" Father McEntegart de-
clared, urging preservation Of social
gains made in recent years. In his
presidential address, Father McEnte-
gart said that America must be alive
to the dangers now threatening the
democratic way of life and that the
theme of the present conference must
be to determine what social work can
do to bolster the defenses of demo-
cratic America. He said that social
work might prove to be "a determin-
ative factor" in promoting national de-
fenSe..
Must Preserve Freedom
Gust as total war is a conflict not
solely between competing armies, ships
and planes but rather between whole
nations, so, too, total defense involves
the training of soldiers, the procure
ment Of machines and the spirit and
strength of the whole population,
Father McEntegart said.
"To preserve democracy we must
preserve the basic civil and political
liberties which we rightly treasure
And at the same time we must make
sure that the basic necessities fol
truly democratic living continue to be
available to all our people. Effective
democracy aims at decent living con-
ditions for all its people. The achieve
ment of this aim constitutes the
strongest defense we have"
Human Rights Paramount
Social work, if it is to help build
the nations defenses, must center
largely on two objectives-to preserve
or restore the integrity Of family life
and to imbue the youth of the country
with devotion to democratic ideals
Father McEntegart declared.
"More than ever before, it will be
necessary to insist that the social
gains made in recent years shall not
be lost. Rearmament must not sub
merge human rights"

: THE GREATER .
|. DEVASTATION
& By DIR. CHARLES STELZLE !
= i = = Z. :. !. !. !. !. !. :. !. i. !. i ::

During recent weeks, as newsboys
have cried the "extras" on the street,
we have known it meant some horror
visited upon the people of the British
Isles. We have listened with increas-
ing dread to the accounts of the de-
vastation of the peaceful countryside,
the quiet villages and the garden
homes Of England. We have mourned
the destruction in London of places
whose inheritance is that of every
free-born man or woman-places that
stood for milestones on the road to
democracy.
We thought we were satiated with
horror, as one by one the free coun-
tries Of the world fell before the Nazis.
We had mourned each with increasing
sorrow-and now we stand silently
watching the last great democracy of
Europe fight for its life. But with
every blow at England we feel pride
in the English people-in the way
they are standing up to it as a united
nation, living up to their great tradi-
tions of courage and steadfastness.
The monuments Of their past may be
destroyed-but they are building new
and greater monuments Of the spirit
that will live in song and story
through all time.
But what Of the greater devastation
of Germany? Though they have not
been invaded as other European coun-
tries have been, nor their peoples sub
| jugated and subjected to the bestiali-
ties which they have imposed upon
those nations over which they have so
ruthlessly swept-still, theirs is the
greater devastation-for they have
suffered a moral and spiritual de-
gradation more horrible than anything
endured by their victims.
The Church, the school, the press of
Germany have lost their places of
leadership because they have been
dominated by the Nazis, in their in
sane, unscrupulous, immoral plans for
world domination. Their people have
been brutalized by the moral de-
gradation Systematically cultivated by
their leaders. The sanctity of their
homes has been violated by the doc
trine of the supremacy of the State.
The minds of their children have been
warped by the teachings of hatred,
by the false doctrine that might is
right, that the outside world owes
them, as a master race, subservience
and everything alse they want, and
that they should satisfy their wishes
at the expense of all others, regard
less of the laws of right and justice.
When the war is over, instead of
being uplifted by the stories of holy
conquest in which the fallen enemy
was dealt with mercifully, they will
hear only a melancholy tale of rage
unbelievable. Pitiful indeed is the de-
vastation of the German people-their
minds and morals a heap of ruins!
Born to at least measure of freedom,
they have become slaves Of tyrannical
rulers.
