three vital questions.
What do we need?
Where is it?
How do we get it?
1t perhaps is the greatest uni
fled effort ever undertaken by
the American people. 1t has al
ready started.
What We Need
The outlines of the job under
way are already clear. On May
IS, the President asked Congress
% provide S1,182, 100000 for de-
Tense. On May 81, he again sent
a message declaring that the in
credible events abroad, during
the latter part of May, necessi-
tated another S1,277,741,170 to
speed up preparation for our mill
tary and naval needs. On July
10, due to further drastic changes
in the world situation, and be-
cause of the united will of the
American people to defend them
selves against all enemies. for
eign and domestic. the President
asked for further appropriation
CT S4,84S,l71,957 for national de-
Tense.
This would provide for:
Equipping a navy to meet any
possible combination of hostile
forces.
Total equipment for land
force of 100000.
Reserve stocks of tanks, guns,
and artillery ammunition for an
additional 100000 men.
$1,000 additional planes for the
Army and 1000 for the Navy
Manufacturing facilities, public
and private. to produce essential
equipment required for our fore
eS.
In order to provide that equip
ment. we determine what the
Army and Navy need. in terms
of uniforms, guns, tanks, planes,
and ships. This is broken down
into raw materials. Provision is
made for processing these raw
materials. Plants are provided to
convert these materials into the
weapons to put into the hands
of the troops. The nation is like
2 gigantic production line. A
breakdown at any point along the
hundreds of raw materials lines
might stall the whole machine.
That must not happen. As fast

Mrs. Martin Johnson is Just one
of the men and women notable in
diverse fields-artists, writers. ex-

who have gathered in the famous
Ford lounge at the Fair to ex-

who would have thought she could

Serving Gods of Gold

Well, we have gone our way,
made unto ourselves gods of gold
and silver and are faithfully serv-
ing them. That is why we have
neglected the God who made us,
and gave his son, that we might
live and serve the master of earth
and sky.
Our faithful service to the man.
made gods of earth, has caused
each of us to forget the price paid
for our redemption on Calvary's
Crkoss. We have failed to look up
to that cross and see the one who
loved us so and gave his life that
we might escape eternal death.
Yet, we defy this great and SUI
preme sacrifice made for our sake
and turn to our idol gods. We are
just as guilty as those who put our
Saviour to death, and the great
price VIC al CdllCu " pay III
these sinful acts of ours is more
than we can ever pay. We have of
a truth forgotten God.
Hence, the great reckoning day
is near, and our earthly gods and
power are failing us as they did
Judas who betrayed his Lord for
the thirty pieces of silver. We are
destroying ourselves. All the pray
ers of the righteous people of the
earth will not save us; pay day is
here, and the God who made us
and gave his Son for us is on the
job, and there is nothing in this
world that can stop Him, because
the earth is the Lords and all they
that dwell therein.
Wages of Sin
We must pay for our sins and
misdeeds committed here. There is
no escape, and you scribes, phari-
sees, leaders in church and nations
are praying for peace, when God
is fulfilling his true word to the
wicked of the earth. Yes I want
better world than the one we
have today to live in. The inhuman-
ity of man to man without doubt
has made of this earth a real hell
hole, and l for one will not pray
the prayer for peace until the wi
cked of the earth have reaped
their rewards.
My daily prayer is for Gods will
to be done on this earth and when

Arnold Drimmel
BY j. A. Murrel

1t is my firm conviction that
the people and taxpayers of King
County are ready and want
change in the administrative set-up
of the executive branch of our
County Government. We have en-
dured three years of political in
efficiency and machine control
which has left the South District
of our County in a state of polit-
ical chaos. This machine has ma
neuvered itself into a political con-
troll of all except one or two of
our various offices, most of the
entire set-up in the hands of one
man. l want to assure all of the
voters of this district that when
he is elected that this man and all
of the machine-controlled delegates
Of that organization will be elem
mated from any active control of
policies in King County.
He promises a genuine business
administration.
He is against extra appropria-
lions of al kinds.
He is against the practice of le-
vying for any purpose, especially
political, on the. paychecks of any
employee.
He is particularly interested in
child welfare.
He is against the placing of
entire families in various capacities
in the offices of the county. Po-
litical deadheads and others will
be eliminated.
He enters this campaign without
political entanglements. He has
not asked for nor received any
contributions for his campaign.
Drimmel is a member of the
Rainier Golf Club. Race employees
of the club say he is so fair they
have volunteered their service to
help place a businessman in County
affairs.
Businessmen and civic leaders
of the South District urged Arnold
Drimmel to leave his business for
the public welfare.
Remember, a vote for Arnold
Drimmel is vote against the one
man machine controlling our County
Government.

Good Neighbors
By s. t. McCants

WHY WE NEGLECT TRUTH
Your humble scribe will make an
attempt in this issue of the Good
Neighbors message to bring to
light some of the great Biblical
truths that we have for ages, for
some cause or other neglected, or
forgotten. And the neglect on our
part to live and teach these most
important truths has brought US
face to face with the God who
gave them to us that we might
be able to escape many of the pit
falls set up by the wicked demon
of earth to discourage and to des-
troy us.
We will first note that God in
his creation of man did not equip
him with all the essential powers
to make his own way through this
world of sin and disappointment.
We must of necessity depend on
day to day to supply us with his
God our Heavenly Father, from
grace and power.
The great mistake so many of us
make, is to try in our own way
and earthly power, to create our
own pathway through life. No, we
haven't the much needed equip
ment in our earthly bodies to make
the successful journey from cradle
to grave, and to be a real success
in this life, we must secure those
absent powers for our mortal bo-
dies from day to day.
Failure on our part to recog-
nize or accept this great truth will
some day find us of all men, most
miserable. We will find ourselves
surrounded with difficulties that
we cannot figure out with our
mortal minds.
Why do we neglect such impor-
tant truths as love God with all our
hearts, and our brother as our
selves? And Christ's direct invita-
ton to all of us, to cast our bur-
dens on him, and he will sustain
us and keep us, and save us to the
uttermost.
