A bulletin from Adolf Hitler's field

knitting clear across the Crimea had
captured the eastern coastal town
of Feodosiya, on the southern side
of the narrow isthmus leading to the
Kerch Strait, perhaps thereby cut

German dispatches said the Red

shattered remnants were fleeing
headlong to the sea in the hope Of

taken, served as the western anchor
of the Mannerheim line, which was
long defended by the Firms in their
1939-4O winter war with Russia.
The Helsinki communique said the
islands were occupied in operations
during November l to 3. One large
and two small Russian ships were
destroyed in mine fields in the gulf
early on the morning of November
5, it added.
The three ships were presumed
20 be carrying soldiers of the Russian
garrison trying to escape.
The Koivisto Islands are only 40
miles northwest of the great Rus
sian fortress of Kronstadt. which
guards Leningrad and has held out
for weeks despite heavy lombard

The islands were heavily re-forti-
fled following their cession to Rus
sia by the Firms in the Moscow
peace ending the winter war. Rus
sian batteries there almost contin-
uously harassed Finnish traffic on
the mainland after the Red Army
was hurled >back across the 1899
frontiers in the present war.
The Firms had been forced to
abandon the islands during the last
stages of the winter when Soviet

the mainland, threatened to sur
round the garrison by assault over

of Ohio went even further, contend
ing that there still are enough un-
committed members to beat this

All such claims, however, failed to
perturb administration leaders, who
looked forward to the decisive roll
call later this week with the utmost
confidence. Some asserted that at
least SIS of the Senate's 96 votes
would be cast in favor Of the revision
legislation.
Senator Norris said he believed
there was mo doubt that the people
of the country will support revision
of the neutrality law. The people
realize our danger, and they want us
to face it squarly.

Administration leaders were striv-

opponent, said Thursday or Friday

Should the Senate pass the bill
this week, it then would go to the

claims sufficient votes for passage.

why the old barn doesn't collapse is
because it is propped up all along
the side by unsightly poles of var
ious lengths and sizes.
Have you not met lives like that
old barn? With initiative gone,
with will power gone, with purpose
in life gone, such life would tum-
BILE into ruin were it not for the
props by which it is supported sucn
as a family name, some inherited
financial backing, or devotion OF
very close friend.
The presence of props proclaim
the fact that the strength of the
inner life is gone.
Every man should take notice
whether or not he is beginning to
place props up against the struc-
ture of his life. He should observe
whether or not he is beginning to
be dependent on sources outside OF
himself to sustain himself, to give
his life purpose and utility
There is only one thing TO dc
with an old propped up barn. That
is to tear it down and to build
anew. The only thing to do with
propped up life is to hand it over,
with all its failures, with all its
helplessness, with all its seeming
futility, to the Christ who II axes
life new and abundant.
This is exactly what now well
known man did. And in relating
his amazing experience, he ex-
claimed: "Old things have passed
away and behold, all things have
become newt
Why keep adding props to a life
that seems to be increasingly I'M

available in Christ a life that is

billion and a quarter. ADJUSTMENTS,
such as movies, golf, swimming
and other sports, draw some $400,-
100000 out of travel pockets. Hot
dogs and soft drinks tobether pro-
duce $30O,O00,000.
Recent census figures reveal the
economic significance of these ex-
penditures. 1t is estimated that
the money spent for automobile
operating expenses is equivalent to
an entire years business for $4,000
automotive stores, employing a to-
tai of $4,000 workers. Nearly
$4,000 department, apparel, sport
ing goods and other stores, with
100000 employees, could subsist for
a year on tourist dollars. Tens of
thousands of additional jobs result
from tourist business in restau-
rants, amusement centers, hotels,
wayside stands and tourist camps.
The tourist dollar, when it comes
into a communityf comes from
outside and adds to the total of
local prosperity. 1t flows into local
trade channels and, directly or in
directly, benefits every citizen of
the community. Properly encour-
aged and developed, American
tourism can help to solve the ma
TONS major economic problems.

are stronger than treaties in pro-
hitting good will and commerce.
Before final decision is made, at
fractions of the various regions
will be weighed in the balance
scenery, historic interest, climate,
opportunities for sport and other
amusements and tourist accommo-
datlons. Most important of all to
1 the average motorist and trailer
vacationist are the ease, safety and
convenience with which place can
be reached. No wise family head
will risk his peace of mind and the
lives of his children for the most
trout-filled stream in the world.
One of the first things looked for
in vacation folders today is che de-
scription of the roadways leading
to the spot advertised. If state
cannot promise modern, well-pav-
ed, safe highways, it cannot expect
to hold its own in the competition
for share of the tourist trade.
Importance of this trade is stead
lily increasing. Tourism today is a
$4,000, 100000 industry. Vacation
motor travel this summer is ex-
pected to break all previous rec
ords. The far-reaching effect Of
tourist expenditures on business is
indicated by a breakdown of the
S5,OOO,OOO,O0O spent each year. A
billion goes for sleeping accommo-
dations at hotels and camps, an
other billion for meals and other
food and third billion for servic-
ing the car, including gas, tires, re,

TOURISM FOLLOWS THE

In the surfing young mans
fancy lightly turns to thoughts of
playtime. The thoughts of his
mother, father and sisters take the
same direction. Gayly colored, pro-
fusely illustrated maps and travel
booklets play a prominent part in
family councils. During the next
five months, hundreds of thousands
of American families will pack
bathing suits, golf clubs, riding
habits and fishing tackle and leave
ordinary workday routine behind
them. Many will find that they
can get the most fun for their
money by climbing into the family
car and starting out to new seem
cry and adventure.
They will first answer the all-im-
portant question, Where shall we
travely?" So long as wa quar-
antines Europe's Fairgrounds, they
must decide to "see America first
but the vastness of the Western
Hemisphere still permits a wide
range of choices. Some will choose
to leave the United States to pro-
mote god neighborliness in Mexico
and Canada. The Pan-American
Highway, now in top condition
