Whose Opinion Is Yours?

In Germany, even before Hitler
came to power, Germany for the
Germans" drive was started. Along
with other reforms, this was driven
home by teaching the children from
when they left the cradle to man.
hood. We, in the United States, con-
demned this system because it al
lowed, in the minds OF children, on
~ one idea, hate OF other people
and complete faith in Nazi power
In this country we have tried to
teach tolerance and leave broad
space in the child's mind to be filled
by themselves, as they learn to rea-
son for themselves and study the
world about them.
Since we have participated in this
struggle between nations-I say
participated because we have
thrown our lot in with beligerent
that policy has slowly been aban-
doned Our schools are now cram
ing the minds of children in the
lower grades, including the primary,
with what some, possibly small
majority, of people think is right.
One evidence of this is the COM
pulsory method of having lower
grade children write essays on
WHY We Should Buy Defense
Bonds Many of these children are
taught negative opinions on the
subject at home Others do not
even know what defense bond is,
and are we forced to form an opin-
ion on something we know nothing
about?
Other ways that we have to pref
udice young minds are the funny
papers which are pouring stream
Of hatred and untrue propaganda
into the minds of American youth
All in all the idea of letting chill
dren form their own opinions is
becoming a thing of the past and
we are entering course very sim
liar TO what Germany did in the ear
~ thirties to organize and get the
people behind a totalitarian state,
or dictatorship.

School Continues

The question arises each year
Is not Armistice Day national
holiday and if 50, why do schools
continue when all the business
houses close and the lucky hunters
60 after that buck?' The answer
has been often given but it might
not be amiss to say again that the
law is specific and reads as follows:
mo school shall be dismissed on
he following holidays but approp-
riate exercises shall be held-on
Lincoln's Birthday. Pioneer Day,
irmistice Day, etc"
Absences al any time cause extra
work for teachers and pupils alike
and students are asked to consider
heir need to be in their places on
Armistice Day as well as on regular
lays.

The plan 10 allow Common
Council appointments by the coun-
Gil in the event of vacancies today
was defended as sound and eco
nomical in q statement prepared
by Assistant Corporation Counsel
James r. Walsh
The proposal which will be on

sored by the present Common
\ Council and has been attacked as
"undemocratic' by the Detroit
Bureau of Governmental Research
and other civic groups.
Councilman John Lodge VAS.
the most interested OF the incumb-
ent members of the council in
securing such system and Walsh
was selected to draw up the pro-
posed amendment.
PLAN EXPLAINED
In case a vacancy occurred in
the council, whether through
death, resignation, or removal the
remaining councilmen, under the
plan. would have the choice Of
either selecting the man 10 FIJI the
vacant chair themselves or calling
a special election as is required
now.
"The adoption of this amend
ment would save the expenditure
of large sums OF money. In view
of the fact that in order TO hold
n special election within Detroit
10 costs the taxpayers in the
nelghborhood Of $4,000 for an
election and primary preced-
ing such election" Walsh stated.
THE Common Council has
been endowed with the filling Of
numerous offices within the city
and As far IA being able to de-
termine, no criticism has been
Ieveled at these appointments"

Walsh cited the present auditor

also that when vacancies occur in

Mayor Says Job
More ExdCtinq
Than Business

A surprised audience composed
largely of business men today were
pondering a statement by Mayor
Edward J. Jeffries that the work
of a public official in many re-
spects is more exacting than the
work of a business man.
The mayor explained this point
at the Caravan Shrine Club
at the Book Cadillac Ho-
tel in reply TO remarks of former
Gov. William A. Comstock. a cam
didate for the Common Council.
Comstock had stated that the
business mans point Of view was
valuable in government, but that
il was. not always practical TO
apply il because of the conflicting
demands of various sections OF
the electorate.
SEES GOOD GOVERNMENT
"If Bill Is elected and I am.
too, IL ought to result In good
government because he and L
approach this problem from two
different view points and the
public Is best served when all
view points of the electorate are
represented" the mayor san.
Government is a business or
itself. You cannot do the same
things nor can you take advan-
tage of the short cuts In govern
ment that private business takes
advantage of.
There are all sorts Of things
done In private business which
would not he countenanced for

Silhouette Changes
Considered Drastic

When you attend various fashion
shows designed to open the fall pro-
gram of dress, 60 with an open mind
and be prepared to see startling
changes. You may have been going
serenely along with the thought that
you have perfectly good suit or
coat that you can wear again this
season, but when you see the new
lines" you will find suddenly, you
have changed your mind.
There is decidedly new order of
things in the fashion world in the
way of easy lines that stress sup
pie blouse movement above the mid
riff. Sleeves have undergone trans
formation stressing dolman effects
and even when sleeves are set into
their deep armholes they give the
impression of dolman sleeves. How
ever the appearance of broad Shout
ders is maintained through a gentle
rounding off that depends on espe-
cially contrived shoulder pads, to
hold a firm flattering line.
Skirt interest is running high. Full
ness is adroitly introduced to convey
the idea of slenderness and the new
TERED effects are making converse
ton throughout fashion realms.
Watch peplums and tunics for they
play star role in this seasons
styling technique, with pleated skirts
also very much in evidence.
