WELCOME HALL NOTES

A hilarious but cautious evening
was enjoyed by children, youth an
adult at the Ober Boys Club on tn,
eve of Halloween. The Horror
Chamber through which all had to
pass to enter the Gym provided a
most CHASTITY if not ghostly at
mosphere. The joint staff under the
supervision of Josephine II. Hagan
and Glen Dewey were on hand to
help all to enjoy themselves. The
program consisted of: communit!
singing; amateur program; vocal
ensembles and instrumental num-
bers. Two very outstanding num-
bers were an accordion solo by
Stanley Rice and a bone solo by
James Nankerville. Mesdames N
Ewing, o. Hall, L. Singewald of
the Mckinley P. T. A. assisted with
the group.

Five Civilized Tribes

The five civilized tribes of In
dians were the Cherokee, Chicka-
saw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole
tribes. They were given this col
lective name because of their ad-
vance toward civilized life and Gus
toms.
The name appears in the reports
Of the United States office of Indian
affairs as early as 1876 when an
agent reported that each tribe chad
a constitutional government, with
legislative, judicial and executive
departments, conducted upon the
same plan as our state govern
ments, the entire expenses Of which
are paid out Of their own funds"
These tribes differed from most
others in that their lands were held
not on the same basis as reserva-
tons, but by patents or deeds in
fee simple, with certain restric-
tons as to alienation and reversion.

Humus Is Important in
Restoration of Soil

Just 10 years ago a brilliant
young scientist made known in Eng
land his discovery of the manner in
which plants obtain from the soil
and air the elements required for
growth.
It was simply a matter Of giving
back to the soil that which had been
taken away-a new idea, then, but
one which is now generally accept
ed as the basis Of all scientific agri-
culture, whether it be the cultiva-
ton Of grain by the hundred acres
or garden flowers by the few square
feet.
But it Is not enough merely to
return to the soil those elements Of
which 1t has been depleted by cult
vation," declares Charles A. Monoo-
gian, noted chemist of California.
'These elements, essential to the
health and growth of plant life, must
be restored in a form which as
nearly approximates humus as pos
sible; that is why any fertilizer, to
be really effective, must be manu-
featured through the utilization Of
those same principles that made vir-
gin soil fertile"
Humus, as most of us know, is the
dark brown or black residue that
remains after decay in the soil.
Its presence is so important that
neither field crops nor garden flow
ers can grow without it.
Humus provides large quantity
Of plant food; it also serves as a
reservoir of moisture required by
growing plants.

I WONDER
By Clara Robinson

AS sit here alone, I wonder,
About the world Of long ago;
Was it like the world today,
The war-torn world we know?
Was there ever Garden Of Eden,
Where joy for awhile did reign?
Where peace was the only law,
And there was no agony or pain!
Then again, wonder,
Can this world be happy and Sc
rene?
When will the great day come,
When peace is the reigning queen?
Will there ever be a true Utopia,
Where all mankind will find
That they can all be supremely
happy
If they leave greed and gain be-
hind?
Hopeful yet, offer a prayer,
That people will abide by Gods
will,
And obey that commandment,
That says, "Thou shalt not kill"

ARMY:
Diue Bombing

The army, which has relied on
lofty bombers with an efficient
bomb-sight, and low-fying attack
planes to machine-gun infantry po-
sitions, finally decided it was un-
wise to let the navy do all the dive
bombing and was reported about to
get some dive-bombers of its own
and start practicing the art.
The navy developed dive-bombing to
hit fast-moving ships which were diff
fcult targets for high flying bombers.
The rapid development of tank
and mechanical warfare has made
land targets bigger and still more
difficult to hit, hence the "strafing
plane" is now declared obsolete,
while the dive bomber is coming
into its own.
Another factor reported from
those close to high authority is that
the army's planes must be response
BILE not only for inland defense, but
for defense some 800 miles off the
American coastline. Hence the army
as well as the navy will have to
equip its planes to bomb naval YES

BRITAIN:
Her Chance

The British were apparently keen
ly aware that the preoccupation of
the Nazis with the Reds on the
East furnished them with their great
chance of the war.
Hardly had the attack against
Russia been on for a week than the
Raj. leaders announced mastery
of the daytime air over the occupied
regions and western Germany.
Hardly did a day pass without
large-scale daytime bombing raids,
and the British plane losses did not
appear great if, as the claim was
made, they were using several
squadrons of upward of 100 bombers
each every day.
There was silence from Ger
man sources about the accomplish
ments of the raids, but the British,
judging from their own losses from
German air attacks, figured that
their chosen detectives must soon be
reduced to hopeless ruins.
They felt that the Coventries on
Europe's soil must be numerous.
Heavy night attacks followed those
by day, with only occasional and
very light German reprisals-and
all of these under cover of dark
ness.
On the sea, also, the British
seemed to be making some head
way against the U-boat menace, and
the probability was felt that many
submarines must have been divert
ed to the Baltic, to serve against

new political outcry in Canada for
some form of draft or selective serv-
ice to take the place of voluntary

ovan, after two unofficial tours of
inspection of Europe's war centers,
would be given a post of importance
in the defense set-up.
Washington: Aluminium, cork and
copper, in that order, were declared
to be the scarcest materials needed
in the defense effort.
Philadelphia: The American Youth

ton on aid to Britain, urged full

MARSHALL:
And Draftees

Two vital questions on the home
front were brought to the fore by
General Marshall, chief of staff of
the u. S. army:
The keeping of selective service
men past their 12-month training
period.
The question of sending them be-
yond the United States and her pos
sessions as "task troops"
The chief of staff made his case
plain. The army, he said, was COM
posed of three elements-regulars,
national guardsmen, and draftees.
These, instead of having been kept
separate, were all melted into one
military whole, and to remove a
part of these, the draftees, at the
end of IL months, would be to create
utter confusion in the whole organi-
zation, he said.
He asked that the part of the
selective service law which limited
the time and place of the soldiers
service be taken away.
Otherwise, he pointed out, the
power of the commander-in-chief
would become a meaningless thing,
and detachments needed at certain
points would be forced to lose their
manpower.
But the chief of stats request,
couched in such a way that it
seemed an official request of con-
gress by the war department, found
considerable opposition, Senator
McNary of Oregon, Republican lead
er, stating that he was not only in
opposition to the removal of the geo.
graphical restrictions in the draft
act, but also was against the re-
moval of the 12-month restriction as
well.
1t was evident that Marshall's
hope for an army of 2,500, 900 trained
men, able to move wherever the
congress and the commander-in-
chief deemed expedient, was not go
ing to be won without overcoming
serious opposition.

ON RUN:
Or Defending?

Crucial questions of the Russo
German war were these:
Did the Nazis actually have the
Russians in a wild-disorganized re-
treat?
Were the Russians, instead, fall
ing back to the Stain line in good
order considering the magnitude Of
their army?
Was the finish to be another de-
feat for the defenders as soon as the
large cities were taken, as had hap
pened in Norway, Belgium, Holland,
France?
Or were the Russians willing, like
the Chinese, to move back across
vast territory and let space and
winter hardships swallow up the
Nazi effort?
None of these questions could be
answered accurately through the
muddle of rival claims, yet there
were hints here and there that tend
ed to show trends in attack and de-
tense that might furnish a partial
answer.
The onslaught was terrific and
news pictures released by the Ger
mans showed the advance across
battlefields filed with backgrounds
of smoke, flame and destruction.
The speed could be counted at about
$50 miles in two weeks-the very
distance not only pointing to the ter
rifle power of the attack, but also to
the difficulty of maintaining serv-
ice of supply and "mopping up" over
so many thousands of square miles.
So much tended to show the Nazis
swift and easy victors. Yet there
were other indications, entirely
aside from the official and biased
communicates which bore on the
eventual result and the theory of
the Red defense.
There were reports from Nazi-
friendly Vichy and Rome. The for
mer reported half the troops Of &C.
cupation withdrawn to the eastern
front; the latter warned against ex-
pecting swift and easy victory.
The reports from Scandinavian
sources of the evacuation of civilians
from Leningrad and Moscow and
Kiev; the speech of Stain in which
he urged the "scorched earth" de-
tense; the plans of Hitler to put
Louis Ferdinand on the Russian
throne - all indicated that there
might be a chance that the Rus
slams were willing to drop back as
slowly as might be, cede what
cities and territory must be given
UP, and let the Russian wastes and
the impending Russian fall and win
ter eat up the strength of the at
tacker.
Few believed that the "Stalin line"
would be anything but a stormy
way-station for the German adj
vance. But many believed that the
"Chinese plan" would not only stem
the Hitlerian attack-but eventually
defeat it.

American naval forces have oc-

eventually to replace British forces

The occupation was accomplished
with the full permission of the new
