Calendar Hampers Defense Program
World Calendar Assn. Urges Support for Revision;
 Advantages of Equal Quarters Pointed Out

New York, July 2s-The present calendar is an obvious bottleneck that is hampering the nations de- fense program, declares The World Calendar Association in pamphlet just issued. Revision of the calen- dar, so that payrolls, accounts, bills, purchases, working days, reports and schedules no longer must be constantly adjusted to one another to compensate for the calendars deficiencies, is recommended as the remedy. The pamphlet, "The World Calendar, 8 New Calendar for New World" diScusss at length the advantages of The World Cal- endar of 12 months and equal quar- ters from the viewpoint of induss try, labor, government, law, retail ing, agriculture, finance, science, education, the home, religion |. and everybody.
 Large corporations, for example, it is explained, have difficulty un- der the present calendar because different departments have to work on the basis of unrelated units of time. Adjustments have to be made continually because the day, the week the month and the quarter year never agree. Under The World Calendar the different time-units would come together at the end of every quarter. All phases of pro- duction would benefit, the pamphlet points out.
 Representatives of industry have already recognized the need for and the advantages of The World Cal endar. The three British Chambers of Commerce uondon, British and Empire) have signified their ap- proval. In the United States, the perpetual calendar of twelve months and equal quarters has received the endorsement of the New York State Chamber of Commerce, the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce and others.
 The proposed World Calendar as outlined in the pamphlet, con- sists of four quarters of 91 days, 'S months or 1a weeks each. Each quarter begins on Sunday, ends or Saturday. The first month in each quarter has 3l days; each of the other two months, 30. Each month has exactly 26 business-week- days plus Sundays. Corresponding pei iods in any two years could be com pared without adjustment of any kind. The calendar would remain the same year after year. That is any given month date would always be on the same day of the week To take care of the 365 days needed in an ordinary year and the 36t needed in leap year, World Holi- day would be added tt the end oi December each year, and at the enc of June in leap years.
 Under a calendar of this sort there would be no trouble remem. bering dates, the pamphlet shows The first Thursday of November for example, would always be tn, End. The first day of school woult always be the same date in Septem Der. Many holidays could be set s that they always came as part c long weekend.
 . January l, 1945, is the date whel the World Calendar Association hopes to see the new calendar g into effect, as it could be exchanged for the present calendar at tha time without inconvenience.

National Morality
 Collapse Attacked
Rev. Dr.. John Walker BIames That, Not Educational
 Breakdown, for European Cataclysm

ITO be better of is not to be bet- terI' stated Rev. Dr. John c. Walk CT, Second Congregational Church pastor yesterday morning in his sermon entitled ."Our Nine Senses" 1"
 pr. Walker said in part:
 If somebody had asked you yeSter- day how many senses you had I suppose 1t may be taken for granted that you would have answered Five" This to say unless you are one of those fortunate people who can claim to have sixth sense of direction or something of that sort. When I went to grade school the teacher spoke of the five senses,
 taste, touch, sight, heading and smell. Although there may have been marked advance in educational methods I assume that they are still teaching that we have five senses.
 But in spite of all this by way of background and authority hope that if someone asks you tomorrow how many senses you have you will answer "Nine." Further than that
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-07-28
(NEA Radioplaoto)

hope you will take the trouble to explain what you mean by that answer. Because, you see, my ser- mon turns on the number and quality of our senses and I am thinking this morning of the senses. the sensitiveness of the soul as well as the physical faculties.
 ITO be better of is not to be bet- teri" Isn't that the utter condemna- ton of European civilization? It wasn't the breakdown of European science or education that brought on the present cataclysm but the complete collapse of national and international morality. And do you think that you can flout the moral law and not suffer the conse- quences? What think you of the wisdom of those who contend that the State Is above the moral law that binds the citizens of the state? We Americans revere a President who quoted in his Second Inaugural the words of this same Nineteenth Palms, the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether" and who quoted them not to justify and condone his people but that the nation might understand and accept the penalties of the moral law "Yet, if God wills that 1t continue until all the wealth piled by the bondman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequitted toll shall bt sunk, and until every drop of blooc drawn with the last Ehall be pait by another drawn with the sword as was said three thousand year ago, So still 1t must be said, Int judgments of the Lord are true anc righteous altogether
 What made Judaism and Chris tianity distinct and different from other religions in this primary efn- phasiS on the moral law? Other re- iigions had other emphasis and in some cases in ancient times had little or nothing to say with regards to morals. The prophets of Israel and the Man of Nazareth can hard ly be misunderstood. What men and nations SOW they shall reap, whether 1t be good or ill., whether it be right or wrong. Precious as is our sight | more pTeClOuS lar lS LIlaJ 1IlSlBHl which enables us to discern and to choose that which is right and just and fair.
 No, we cannot help but feel that there is more than an overarching purpose overall life, there is design and purpose for each individual life As Dr. Horace Bushnell would have 1t, "There Is a definite and proper end, or issue. for every mans exis- tence; an end which, to the heart of Good, Is the good intended for him or for which he was intended that which God will assist him to become and which he cannot miss save by his own fault. Every human soul has a complete and perfect plan cherished for 1t in the heart of Coda divine biography marked out, which 1t enters into life to live" :" believe that and believe that any man who fails to seek out and follow that design falls short, or so far short, of what life was intended to do for him.

DEFENSE
 BOND 

@. Does an album filled with Stamps automatically become a Bond that will pay interest and mature in 10 years?
 A. No. The completed album must be exchanged for a Bond. Re- gardless of the amount of money you have invested in Stamps, it will not bear interest until 1t is in the form of Bond or Bonds.
 @. Why should children be en- couraged to buy Savings Stamps?
 A. Because by buying Stamps they write their names on a Rol of Honor of Americans who art doing their part to show the dicta' tors that united America will nevel finch to preserve her sacred liberty
 NOTE To Buy Defense Bond. and Stamps, go to the nearest post office or bank, or write to the Trea. surer of the United States, Wash. ingtOn, D. C., for an order form.

Presents Housing Program
 ll-Point Defense
ispeclal to The nsmoorntl

N0RSSAaA v n M5 UG44DCEAbD
 Hartford, July %. Through H. Tracy Kneeeland, state chairman for Connecticut, an eleven point pro- gram for the efficient production of defense housing to keep step with the rapidly expanding needs of re-armament was presented to- day by the National Committee on the Housing Emergency. Mrs. Sam uel I. Roseman of New York is chairman of the National Commit tee. These recommendation grow out of the National Housing In- ventoryN recently held by the com
 1ittee in Washington at which Will Ham s. Knudsen and other chief government officials discussed the problem before 800 leaders in busi- ness, finance, industry and the civic, housing, technical and welfare fields from all sections of the country.
 The recommendations point out that adequate housing is an eSsen- tial part of the nations defense establishment but can and should be planned and constructed so as W pSNOAAIC pShHldA1GAAb ak1u fdAuhp1O community asset.
 The fear that such housing must inevitably become a nationwide problem child" in the post-emer- gency period is ill.founded, the re- port insists. On the contrary de- fense housing should provide a means for overhauling and rejuve- hating American cities and checking their obsolescence and decay.
 Among the major recommenda- tionS are a proposal that the Na- tional Resources Planning Board undertake immediately long range studies of typical defense areas to guide sound use of defense housing in the post. emergency period; that President Roosevelt direct that an examination be made into the oper- ation of all federal agencies dealing with the provision, planning or fi- nancing of housing leading to what ever action may be necessary to bring about more effective cooper ation and collaboration; and point ing to the probable need for rent control should be by state legislation rather than federal.
