Dutch Protesting De|etion
Of Queens Name in Books

By the Associated Press.
AMSTERDAM (via Berlin), Dec.
12.-The purging of all references to
Queen Wilhelmina in Dutch school,
books has caused such reaction in
Holland that it was necessary yester-
day for DR.. j. van Dam, the new
Secretary General of Education, to
broadcast an appeal for calm.
A number of books containing
speeches and pictures of the Queen
and other members of the House Of
Orange were withdrawn from the
schools in a formal campaign to
wipe out patriotic propaganda for
the exiled ruling family and re-
quire that these subjects be handled
from a strictly historical point of
view
DR.. van Dam urged pupils to end
political disputes even when there
is serious difference of opinion,
and also directed an appeal for calm
to students who engaged in protest
strikes against the dismissal of Jew
ish professors, strikes which re-
suited in the Germans closing the
Universities of Leyden and Delft
and the fixing of an earlier Christ
mas vacation date for students at
Amsterdam University.

from Sepfembe, H0a5ekeepiugJ
Asst month in this magazine great statesman made
In the midst Of appalling world crisis Secretary Of State
Corde Hull found time voice deeply request He
asked usthe people of the United Sateso learn Spanish
and Portuguese
Already response to message been overwhem
ing From state in the Union have ara letters
signed by educators and public officials who endorse the Secr
tarys stand But important is what this appeal
Of peace
something constructive something that involves self
discipline and sacrifice something that gets results They
the people we feel who will the chance to Join this
better understanding among the nations of the Western
Hemisphere.
For years we have neglected Latin result
friends down there all too few.
We have done little to deserve such friends fact
lucky have Many honest and sincere
Latin Americans feel that have exploited them Some
slider arrogant Others being
of their language their culture their customs The sad truth
To ignore this situation any longer actually dangerous
We friends with neghbors to the south The
salvation Of democracy depend it. Peace in this hem
sphere hangs it. There time to lose in half of the
world.
We Spanish and Portuguese. AS Secretary Hull
said last month"; ignorance of the vehicle of expression
of culture obviously makes impossible comprehension
adequate appreciation of the richness which that culture
We that ignorance To do will require
siderable effort It is not easy for child to learn foreign
language For adult it may be harder But must
do it.
Why? Because the unity we seek with Latin America
do much more than we are doing now With the exception
and other commodities, South Americas prod
ucts compete with our own Geographically and cuturay
South America is closer the Old World than is to We
need to find other ties to bind together ties Of friendship
sympathy and understanding We need to remember that
while reciprocal trade good thing reciprocal Ideals are
better.
Part Of the problem is to make neghbor understand
that interest in them not purely selfish As the physically
strongest in this hemisphere must logically under
take defense But besides sending occasional
ships good missions to strategic points in Latin Amer
ca should regularly send students to study their
stand their psychology.

Vitanin Foe
OF Many Ills

THROUGH biochemists discov-
cred vitamins only quarter of
a century ago, extensive research
since that time has proven conclu-
sively that they play vitality i'm
portant role in our everyday living.
Their discovery has been hailed as
the greatest scientific finding since
the days of Lister and Pasteur.
AS cures for ailments ranging
from loss of appetite to cirrhosis
of the liver, vitamins have been
amazingly proficient, and doctors
are using them widely today as sub
stitutes for drugs and even, in some
cases, operations, SC effective IS
their power. Their best source, re
ports Maxine Davis in the Septem-
ber Cosmopolitan, is readily avail
able. Practically all fresh foods con-
tain them in varying strengths.
Vitamin B, which Is found in
grains, nuts, and such meats as
lean pork and chicken, will go a
long way to counter the effects Of
dlCOIOl- OBSlGLl AGAdiAS nave ~
an infallible cure for nausea in
pregnancy, and physicians have
treated arthritis effectively through
its use.
Doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospi-
tai, Miss Davis reports, have elimi-
mated the necessity of an operation
by using vitamins in severe cases
of rickets. The procedure is simply
to feed the stricken patient foods
containing vitamins which make the
bone structure pliable. When this
has been accomplished, the bones
are set in the desired position in
casts and the patient is then fed
diet completely lacking in the vita
min used at first, thereby allowing
the bones to harden.
A great deal, Miss Davis says,
has yet to be discovered in the field
of vitamins, but they have already
learned the title of mira Gle
workers"

Man" Golden Text: Romans g.:
16, II. The Spirit itself beareth
witness with our spirit, that we
are the children of God: and if
children, then heirs; heirs of God,
and joint heirs with Christ. A bible
citation from the lesson-sermon:
Psalms 1866, 73. Thou hast
dealt well with thy servant, Lord,
according unto thy word. 73.
Thy hands have made me and
fashioned me: give me understand
ing, that I may learn thy COM
mandments. Correlative from the
Textbook, Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" by
Mary Baker Eddy: In Colossians
CHI. A. Paul writes: when Christ,
who is our life, shall appear Cbe
manifested), then shall We also ap-
pear (be manifested) with him in
glory" When spiritual being is
understood in all its perfection,
continuity, and might, then shall
man be found in Gods image. The
absolute meaning of the apostolic
words is this: Then shall man be
found, in His likeness, perfect as
the Father, indestructible in Life,
hid with Christ in God, with
Truth in divine Love, where hui
man sense hath not seen man.

Support the Little Theatre

What has happened to all
the Little Theatre members
who used to attend the Mon
day night meetings? If they
have lost interest, they had
better start attending meet
ings again, for the group is
putting on another playbiIl.
They need your help. They
need some more of that en-
thusiasm that was prevalent
at the formation of the group.
Nobody wants to see the Lit
tie Theatre dwindle into non
existence. In two attempts
at tryouts for casts, so few
people were present that cast
ing was very uncertain. Now
that the summer is over, and
school has started, people are
settling down for the winter.
The Executive Committee Of
the group has planned for a
play presentation about every
six weeks. Think Of the fun
and fellowship to be derived
from the Little Theatre dur
ing the long winter months,
when other forms Of amuse-
ment are not available. Don't
get discouraged because the
group is new and in the throes
of being organized. Remem-
ber that mistakes in this
stage Of the game are natural,
and a lot depends on trial and
error. Let us try to have a
big attendance this Monday
night. Help something now
that will help you this winter.

It's 'B.Y.O.R.' Now

N ESPITE wars abroad and un-
- settled conditions at home,
Hollywood, Americas most un-
predictable metropolis, carries on
unabashed its task of preparing
winter movie menu for an anxious
public.

September Cosmopolitan Magazine,
that forty pictures are in produc-
tion on the sound stages. One of
the biggest is Boom Town." STAR
ring Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy.
Claudette Colbert, and Hedy La
MARI. The story, under the title OF
"a Lady Comes to Burkburnett, !"
was a Cosmopolitan success last
year. Fans, Skolsky remarks, will
be surprised to learn that Hedy La
MARI takes only minor role in
the picture, and on top of that loses
her man, Clark Gable, to vamp
Claudette Colbert.
Entertaining in the film colony,
however, is not being done on such
a large scale because of the war.
Basil Rathbone's wife, Ouida, lead

When disaster struck this
town on Sunday, the Firemen,
Police and many individual
volunteers pitched in and
worked long and tirelessly,
helping in every way possible
to avert confusion. The peo-
pie of Smyrna appreciate and
take pride in the way these
men arose to the task before
them. They worked together
swiftly, and in perfect coord-
ination, without any thought
of personal glory. They de-
serve all the credit they are
given, for it is gratifying to
know that within this town
are men who are competent
and ready to meet any emerg-
ency. The swift action of the
State Highway Department
on construction of the tenn
porary bridge is also com
mendable.

 Letter of POntiff
 The Pontiffs letter was dated Dec. 1 at St. Peters.
 Tn view of the fact that the present conflict brings ruin and slaughter, not only to fighting armies but sometimes also to peace full citizens, we are inspired by paternal affection for all peoples to leave nothing undone which might bring at least spiritual comfort to those who are undergoing suffering of all sorts on account of the war;" the Pontiff wrote.
 with the approach of Christmas We are worried by the thought that in many places there will not be celebrated without danger those sacred rites which usually attend Christmas Eve because in many nations lights have been extinguish. ed so that cities, towns and villages are less exposed to air attacks.
 Therefore we permit that mid night masses on Christmas Eve be held earlier in the day"
