championship in Madison Square
Garden, has repaired to a rural
training camp where he is engaged

Whereupon, your correspondent

This prediction is made In sor-

Overlin is this correspondents fav-
orite character. He attained that
status by disregarding all the rules

consisted of three fast rhumbas a
night and instead Of sparring part

routine, he won the middleNeight
title and seemed to be in fair
way to hold it indefinitely unless the
war cut down TIE supply of Scotch
Naturally, then, it came as quite
a shock when your correspondent

Padres Win, 4 TO 0
BY UNITED PRESS

Seattle's triumphal return to the
top of the Pacific Coast league,
scheduled for the hometown open
ing yesterday, Was slightly delayed
when the first-place Sacramento
Solons refused to cooperate.
Sacramento thumped the 194C
pennant winners, 7-3, before a
crowd of 1890, but the game went
to II innings. Paul Gregory, the
fourth Seattle pitcher, let down in
the 11th inning and allowed Sacra-
mento to chase in four runs. Al
HollingsWorth, winning pitch3r,
started the Sacramento rally with
a single and scored the deciding
run. Buster Adams of Sacramento
had a big day with the bat, polling
out a homer in the fourth and
getting five hits in six tries.
Portland also had a dismal home
opening as San Diego pushed the
Beavers deeper into the cellar with
a 40 shutout. Young Al Olsen, San
Diego pitcher, scattered nine Port
land hits to score the first opening
day shutout in PORTLAND since 1905
A crowd of 11,496 saw San Diego
score two runs in the fifth and
another in the sixth off Ray Harrel
and later tap Byron Specie for the
final run in the eighth

Renewing Our Faith

Perhaps never before in all history has
there been a time when the spirit of Him
who died on Calvary's cross was needed
more than it is today in the hearts of man.
kind.
The world is ablaze with war and des
truction, misery and suffering, turmoil
and decay-all because the hearts of many
of the little kings of several nations have
been overlooking with greed, selfishness,
hate and false desires for everlasting fame.
All of the finer things in life that civilian
ton has handed down to the present gene
ration are threatened and even Christianity
is standing on a threshold of humiliation
by the demon dictators of Europe and Asia,
and by the undermining forces here in
America who seek to overthrow Democra-
tic processes.
This Sunday is Easter Sunday. 1t is an
anniversary of the resurrection of Christ.
It is day of all days when each one OF us
should go to church, to the great Temples
of the Master, and there rededicate our
selves to living the principles for which

helpfulness to others, goodwill towards
men.
No, never before was there such dire
need for the resurrection of the teachings
of Christianity in the hearts OF individuals
and nations. Nations must realize that the
Christ is risen and that it is only through
Him that the world can rise out of its pre-
sent state of darkness and despair into the
glowing light of peace and happiness. Men
must realize that truth and everlasting
happiness can come only through Him.
In spite Of these dark hours, we must
not lose faith It has been shaken yes, but
by the way of the cross we must keep the
faith of Him who died that man might tru-
ly live Christ's teachings triumph over
death He arose from the dead and as
cended into Heaven. So can we!

Dor. If England and the United States 90
down. labor unions will be wiped out fast
er, much faster than they came into exist
ence
Labor has no rights in Russia, Germany
and Italy. The working men are mere
slaves for the nations and are so ruled.
They are ruled by force and do not receive
justice.
AS matter of fact, there are only two
major nations in the world today where
workmen in industry are allowed to or
game in labor unions managed by them
selves. A few years ago number of ma
tons permitted such organizations, but not
today. Labor leaders now are following the
most short-sighted policy possible. They
are on the verge of killing the goose that
lays the golden eggs. 1t is high time for
laboring men to stop and think and to quit
listening to these silver-tongued labor
racketeers who want to fill up their own
pocketbooks at the expense of the work
ing man, or who want to undermine our
Democratic system of government.
Of course the draft board in Georgia that
recently refused to send any more young
men to military camps until the labor un-
ions stop striking in the defense plants, act
ed too hastily and unwisely, but at the
same time there is reason and logic in such
action Uncle Sam is asking it's finest young
manhood to spend year in camp for only
twenty or thirty dollars month, while
other working men are demanding seven
eight ten and fifteen dollars per day for
their work to make tools for these young
men to use in time of war.
Is that fair? Of course not and sooner or
later the federal government is going to
have to clamp down on these labor racke-
teers or fifth columnists, and then organ
lied labor may lose everything 1t has
gained

Stupid Activity

By blindly following what seems to be
stupid and selfish leadership, organized
labor today is in imminent danger of losing
what it has gained in the last eight years.
AS was ably pointed out few days ago
bv Gerald w. Johnson, a former Tar Heel
and now an editor of the Baltimore Even
ing Sun. "when men strike because they
are being worked unconsciously long hours
at starvation wages the public can under
stand it and sympathize, but when men
halt work on an army cantonment because
carpenters are doing work that they think
roofers should do, then labor is guilty OF
ieopardizing national defense for frivolous
reasons.
Labor leaders must learn that certain
complaints which might justify striking in
time of peace do not justify striking in this
crisis" the editorial continues. Before this
thing is over all of us are going to have to
endure hardships and it is probable that
most of us may have to endure some injus-
tice. Nobody likes it, but it has to be en-
dured because the one job that counts most
now is seeing to it that the free countries
remain free -"
The many strikes in the national defense
industries are becoming alarming. National
preparedness is being retarded. Aid-to-
Britain is being slowed down. Hitler is be-
ing assisted thereby. Why can't American
labor wake up! Men who do anything to
block or to slow down production of de-
tense materials are betraying first of all, la

Agriculture And Defense

Apparently Congress has decided that
the farmer will not be ''the forgotten man.
in national defense. The largest annual agrl-
cultural appropriation in history was ap-
proved last week by the senate approprla-
tons committee which, it is estimated,
would add about billion dollars annual
" to the income of the farmer.
The war has not brought any prosperity
to the farmer and farm prices have been
low, due in part to SURPRISES And there is
little prospect for any decided increase OF
farm products for export-part1cularly TO-
bacco, cotton and wheat. Hitler has sWal-
lowed some of our best customers. Italy IS
out of the market, England needs guns
more than our farm products, South Amer
lea is not profitable market at present.
Of course some market expansion tor
farm products, especially meat dairy pro-
ducts and perishable goods, is expected
from our.own defense program and perhaps
some in sending food to occupied countries
Agriculture has been groggy ever since
the, great depression and the federal gov
rnment has been prescribing strong res
torative compounded of crop loans ana
marketing quotas.
Time IS of the essence to the farmer as
to others. He has debts, interest, mounting
. taxes, depreciation Of quipment to consider
IF the government can jack up farm prices
