FIRE IN THE FOREST

We are now in the midst of the
vacation season. And that has al
ways produced a CHASTITY fire waste
of our timber resources. Fire in
the forest is worse than almost
any other kind of fire. A house
can be Rebuilt. A tree cannot. In
a few years, roaring flames de-
stroy timber that nature must
spend hundreds of years replacing.
And fire in the forest brings with
it the most horrible of deaths to
deer, rabbits, birds, squirrels and
the other creatures of the wild.
Man-made fire in the forest is
almost always preyentable. 1t re-
suits from mans ignorance, mans
carelessness, mans thoughtless-
ness. All the laws in the world are
powerless unless full public sup
port and cooperation is given
them. There cannot be a fire war
den behind every tree.
One Of the prime causes of for
est fires is smoking. A family on
a holiday drives through the woods,
hhOuSntlcSSly lluOWlHB mdLCl6S
and cigarette butts from the car.
Usually they cause no damage. But
one time in hundred, one time in
a thousand, they may fall in dry
brush that is almost explosive.
Then irreplaceable timber may be
destroyed. Never drop burning to-
bacco or matches anywhere.
Carelessness with camp fires is
still another major cause of fire.
Here again the rules of safety are
simple. Never leave fire. Smo-
ther the ashes with water and
earth. Always build your fire as
far as possible from trees and
brush, and in cleared space.
One Of Americas greatest re-
sources is its tall timber. 1t is the
basis Of a great employing indus
try which is vital to national de-
fense. IT is the source OF pleas
ure and recreation for millions.
Help to preserve it. '

WHERE THE BLAME BELONGS

In a recent editorial, the New
York Times placed the blame for
any power shortage that may ex-
list squarely where it belongs-on
the government itself. "In many
ways-through tax spolicies, rate
policies, Federally-fnanced and
subsidized competition, the poll
cies Of the Securities and Exchange
Commission = the Administration
has profoundly discouraged private
investment in and expansion Of the
electric power facilities of public
utilities" says the Times. "The
death sentence law applying to
public utility companies was drawn
not in a Judicial and constructive,
but in a punitive and vindictive
spirit. The inevitable effect was
to undermine the confidence both
Of public utility managements and
of investors and to lead to a dry
ing up in the flow of capital into
private utilities.
The figures tell the grim story.
In the five years from 1921 to 1925,
the private utilities spent an av-
erage Of 1853 100000 year for
overall construction purposes. In
the seven years from 1928 to 1882,
they spent an average of Sill. .000,-
900 a year. But in the years from
1888 to 1889, nclusive-which COW
er the period when they were sub
jected to the most vicious political
and legislative attack-their expen-
ditures dropped to an average of
$S0S, 100000 year. -''' ''.'''
The problem now is how to get
more power in certain areas. And
the only workable solution to that
problem is full government coop
Grafton with the private utility in
dustry. The industry is ready to
embark on a vast expansion pro-
gram. 1t is ready to pool its out
put with that of the government
hydro plants, to attain maximum
efficiency in distribution. 1t is
ready to do anything possible to
make up whatever shortage may
exist now or in the future. But this
great industry cannot make the
vital contribution to national de-
fense if1the political saboteurs are
permitted to continue their Hitler
ian. policy of "divide, isolate and
conquer" 1t cannot do its job if
it is eternally faced with the pos
sibility of ruthless Federal social
ization Of its properties This is
the hard truth. and no amount of
political oratory can change or hide

POLITICAL CUSHION
NO SHOCK ABSORBER

I
When a house is afire people do
funny things the lady who
threw her mirror out Of the window
and carried her coat on her arm.
For some years past, many of
us have been blinded by smoke
screen of emergency" and have
been throwing some of our most
priced possessions out of the win
dow as remedy
Now, with the greatest emergen-
cy of all facing us, we stand to
lose the very substance of our in
dependence If we don't awaken
from hypnotic spell under which
we have been made to think we
must look to government largesse
for our sustenance and livelihood.
Government has become SO great
in the lives of millions of citizens,
that great proportion of our pop
ulation actually feels that it is in
capable of caring for itself. Those
who would bring about a more
completely socialized form Of gov
ernment. are using the defense
emergency to the utmost to extend
their official control over the in
diyidual and industry In many
fields, beyond war necessities.
We have long seen the trend de-
veloping to nationalize the cleo
trio industry, banking. real estate
operations and other activities too
numerous to mention. We now see
it extending to the oil industry,
and quietly but insidiousIy TO the
coal industry. States rights, as
well as individual rights. are ruth
lessly destroyed in this process.
If our primary natural resources,
such as electricity, oil and coal,
can be sufficiently Federalized, the
foundation is laid for national So
cialism a la Germany or Russia.
The existence Of virtually all busi-
ness, large or small, is wrapped up
in our basic industries. The fneyit-
able result of socialization OF I'm
dustry is the creation of a vast
and invincible political bureau
cracy with power concentrated in
the hands of the few. That is the
most obvious lesson that present
day Europe has to teach us.
1t is the will and determination
Of those in high places to retain
democracy in this country, not
emasculate it, that our people
should watch today.
States rights and individual
rights are wrapped up in the is
sue of encouraging and protecting
the American private enterprise
system. Don't be blinded by the
that government can do
everything for states and indiyid-
lals, better than they can do it
for themselves.

3 is FoR ExCELLENT.

Proudly for more than thirty
years the Navy. has flown its ''E'
pennant for "excellency and eff.
cheney in ship operation Out Of
a long and honorable tradition in
the sea arm Of our service, there
has grown up around this symbol
set Of standards of high per-
formance and real patriotic effort
that give it a profound meaning for
all connected with the defense of
our nation.
It is particularly significant,
then, that the range of this award
has now been extended, and that
the &c" flag has recently been
given to IA manufacturing compan-
les which have done particularly
outstanding work on Navy ord
nance contracts. This means a
recognition on the part Of the De
partment that industry is all-im-
portant to the success Of the de-
fense program; that the civilian,
working behind the services, per-
forms a job that is every bit as inn
portant as that of the men he sup
plies with materials for defense.
Without doubt, many more "E's"
will be awarded to industrial COM
panies as time goes on, for hun
dreds and hundreds of companies
are doing outstanding jobs in in
suring our national security. And
at the same time, it must be re-
membered that just as all soldiers
do not receive the Congressional
Medal or other awards for particu-
larly distinguished feats, so it can
not be expected that a symbol of
effort can be awarded
to all concerns. In other words,
back of those marked especially
excellent, there are great numbers
of other firms which would be
credited with special marks Of ef-
fort like good" and above mini
mum requirements" in any thor
ough rating. From what can be
seen of the complete picture, in
fact, these would represent the
greater percentage of our entire
defense industry.
"E" stands for excellence and
efficiency''-a nd it happens to
stand, too, for the attitude of Am /
erican industry in general during
The present national emergency.

Don't forget that Fuehrer Hitler

treaty of peace of the first World

Austria in March and Czechoslo-

promised the world by radio that
he would not disturb any more

that these three governments con-
tfnually warned the United States
to keep out of the way of the war

RADIANT LIVING
WHY NOT SEE A SPECIALIST
By REY. g. M. 0RIFFETH
Pastor Hzethsaist Church. ceciiton, Md.

Whenever you are in extreme
difficulty, you go to a specialist
II your car needs repairing you
seek the best mechanic. If you
are i'll you engage the best physi-
clan. If you are confronted with a
psychic condition you consult a
skilled psychiatrist.
But there are many serious diff
culties in everyday life which per-
sons foolishly try to solve by their
own ignorance. only to plunge
themselves into a worse situation.
When in any kind of difficulty it
is wise to consult some one who
can help you. And no one is bet
ter qualified to help you to solve
the problems Of life than is Jesus
Christ. He is the worlds greatest
specialist in right, and therefore
happy, living.
We need but to recall His minis
try to remind ourselves of this.
Everywhere He went He touched
the miseries of life into healing,
guidance, and joy.
Today you can have the benefit
Of this greatest Specialist. Just
open the New Testament to His
Sermon on the Mount and study
the teaching which He has given
us. Mediate upon the principles
of living which are revealed in His
parallels. Courageously apply the
Golden Rule to the problem which
is confronting you. If you will
faithfully do this you will find
amazing and happy results.
Since all trouble in life is due
to erroneous living in which fear,
anger, or selfishness has been per-
mitted to dominate the situation,
the logical thing to do is to turn
from these erroneous motivations,
which only keep getting you into
trouble, and seek to put into your
daily life those right motivations
that always bring happy results.
Live today according to the
Golden Rule and notice what
happy change it will make in your
life.
The Golden Rule will bring you
a golden life.
