To Editor of Smyrna Times:
1t was very gratifying to me to
read in Thursdays editorial, your
comment on the Town Council in
making an issue over the Hallow-
cen celebration.
Your quotation in last sentence
of article really hit the nail on the
head.
May we look forward to seeing
more of this type of editorial,
which does truly represent the feel
ing of great number of people of
Smyrna.

family out to the grazing ground.
Spring was late, and new, juicy grass was
hard to find, 50 the geese travelled farther
and farther in their search for succulent baby
food. And all that time the babies were
marching too, down along the fence, into the
back field, up to the cherry trees.
We saw the babies constantly lag behind,
watched the old geese round them up and
drive them on to greener pastures. We thought
we could see the babies getting thinner and
thinner.
Finally Vondy said, I'm not going to
watch those fools kill lot of perfectly good
goslings. Tomorrow morning we'll get those
babies and raise them ourselves"
We locked the geese in the run at feeding
time, and the next morning bright and early
we went out to get the babies. had card

"A TEACUP was smashed on the floor, chairs
were overturned; but it looked to US as if the
disorder had been caused by the ladies when
they fled, because the Stevensons were be-
having beautifully.
Mrs Stevenson grunted, hoped up on a
chair and pulled lettuce leaf off plate -
stood chewing it and watching US.
Vondy said, you catch the old lady, hold
her fast around the body and keep her head
down. III manage Stevenson"
Catching the geese was easy. But did you

We suddenly decided to let the geese rear
their own babies.
But decision wasn't enough. We had to
get out of there. If we retreated step, they
closed in two. If we advanced step, they met
us with open bills and spread wings. We
inched along, never turning our backs, just
scrooching and watching until we reached
the gate.
Vondy pushed me behind him, showed the
bar up and slapped right and left with his
stick, and we ducked out
Vondy looked at his watch. We had spent
one hour learning that you can't take goslings
away from geese. I'll take on one angry lion
any day in preference to a flock of enraged
geese!

We did,
We dispossessed the Leghorns and gave
the Stevensons their run with the six-foot
fence around it; we trimmed their wings, too,
for safety's sake. We needn't have bothered,
though, for in few days Mrs Stevenson
started to lay. So we left the run open.
After she had laid more eggs than we ever
heard of goose S laying. Mrs. Stevenson de-
cided that she was going to hatch goslings
50 we stopped taking her eggs away.
We knew about when the eggs were due to
hatch; but we weren't prepared for what hap
pened. The whole flock woke us before sunup

Loans for More Planes

When it became apparent that the United
States must increase it's air force or face a
war crisis with inadequate air defense, it
was discovered that the airplane industry was
not capable of mass production. 1t was meet
ing the need of peace-time market and ex-
panding as civilian and airline demands rose.
But production on the scale President Roose-
velt indicated might become necessary if the
totalitarian conquests continued was out of
the question.
1t was obvious that the government must
do something to bring the industry up to a
high level of production. The something
it did turned out to be loans to the industry
for plant expansion. Federal Loan Admins

A Foolish Controversy

The acquisition of military bases in Britains
Western Hemisphere possessions seems des-
tined to provode as much and as wild contro-
versy as the proposal to send Britain some of
our reconditoned World war destroyers. Some
of our statesmen fear that any alliance with
Britain at this time will form the basis for a
permanent covenant which would be to Brit
aims advantage and oppose it on that grounds
Others see in it challenge to Hitler, move
toward participation in the conflict just as the
gift or sale of destroyers to Britain would be-
To the first it may be replied that an alliance
with Great Britain would not necessarily be a
stumbling block for America or that such an
alliance consecrated in mutual time of peril
would be self perpetuating. It need exist only
during the emergency. We need military bases
in British possessions, not only for the protec-
ton of the United States but for all American
countries as well. When the world returns to
orderly existance, the need for them, hopefully,
would disappear and the emergency alliance
be abrogated.
If Hitler should see in the arrangement a
threat to his plans for conquest in the Amer
icas, that would be his lookout, as would the
delivery of American destroyers to Britain. 1t
is time the United States took clear look at
the realities and stopped raising bugaboos.
Europe is at war. Unless Britain halts Hitler
and restores sanity in government on that con-
tinent, the Uited States and her sister repub-
lies in the Americas must defend themselves
against the fate that has overtaken SO many
European nations. To better assure our secur-
ity it is essential that we have air bases and
military posts along Hitler's line of approach.
Britain is willing that we should have them
in her possessions. 1t would be folly to refuse
them. If their acceptance proves challenge
to Hitler, how much more would their rejection
vasion?

Granted the Wright Aeronautical Corporation
for new plant in Hamilton county, Ohio.
Here is evidence that the air strength of
the United States is to be increased as rapidly
as the airplane industry can be prepared for
production on a tremendous scale It is not
to be forgotten, however, that much still re-
mains to be done before warplanes can begin
to fill the air for national defense Despite
the time that must be devoted to prelinin-
aries, it is gratifying to find that the United
States is organizing for defense while there
is yet time, Notwithstanding opposition of the
isolationist group, instead of waiting until war
comes, and long afterwards, as Britain and
France did.
It is by such concentration of effor: in ad-
vance that this country may hope to avoid
war That is something the isolation bloc
could learn to its own and the nations ad-
vantage.
