Now a. radio is coming into

Even the old songs are given

China IL rapidly adopting the

The demands of the situation

Learning throughout life is cher

Education Is quite different In
China than here In America.
History and the arts are taught
to the younger students through
drama, In the theater, by lantern

Children begin their study with
the old classics when they are six

Mr.. William Randolph Hearst
San Simeon, California
Dear Mr.. Hearst: 81
r HAXE=iong been reader OF
your TN the News" column.
Many times I have been
tempted to write you 9 few words
of much deserved encouragement.
Your column stands a. q beacon
at the crossroads of national and
international affairs, always point
ing to the highest possible develop
ment and staunch preservation OF
American principles and ideals.
Through the years just past a few
dauntless pioneers developed and
added TO the realm of human en-
deavor a new world within q world
the world of aviation. They did
IN In q spirit Of adventure and the
good old American desire TO ex-
plore the unknown more than any
thing else. Today the rapidly thin
ming ranks of these few remaining
pioneers stand agog at what their
creation has come In mean In
commerce and war. We are proud
Of the former, which Is more than
we can always say of the latter.
This modern method Of destruc-
Ition emanating from the thin air
overhead which threatens TO eX-
tend and even to include the STRAIT
osphere. has been seized upon by
pewer-craZed dictstors as their
trump card in q gigantic bid for
world domination, and all Of Its
associated degration. Where avia-
ton has fallen into such bloody,
power-crazed hands, II must be
wrenched free and placed at the
disposal of men and nations that
are sworn to uphold and drive for
ward the proposition that all men
are born free and should remain
free to determine their own des-
TIMES by the will of the majority
and not the minority and. GER
tainly, not of one.
In the midst of all this, Ameri.
can air commerce has arisen to
number one position in the world
of flying. To this development, no
man has contributed more than
you. The pilots have fought through
the years to attain this goal and
will continue the same fight and,
as the ranks Of the pioneers grow
thin, they will be filled and ex-
tended by strong young fledglings
with eyes turned skyward and to
the future.
The pilots are happy and
proud 10 term you as one OF the
most respected In the ranks Of
their old-timers. You have fought
shoulder to shoulder with them In
every one of their battles from the
very beginning TO bring the pilot
ing profession and the air line
transportation industry to Its pres
ent high state of development
They have come to know you as q
, pinch hitter who has never failed
/ to take a good healthy swing 81
; the well-knoun pellet of uncer'
! tainty for a home run when thell
/ best interest and the best Interest

Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and
forget not all His benefits:
I know a man I'm this city 40

Bloom, congressman, three photo
stat copies of our cBill of Rights"
80 inches square - had them
framed, covered with glass, placing
one In a grade school, one I'm the
office where he works, and, of
course, hung one In his home. The
copies alone cost him only SOC
each, but the framing and glass
ran the bill up to something over
$1,000.
How many of the baseball and
football fans would cough up that
sum of patriotism from only q
fair salary?
Would to God we had q copy OF
said Bill of Rights in every school
room In our land. but just to hang

Pruning Begins;
Hundreds OF Workers
TO Be Cut From List Of
Government Employees y
BY FRANK NORRIS

LANSING, Oct. 23.-Starting a
pay roll pruning project intended
to cut many hundred workers
from government employment, the
civil service commission today
began with the state liquor con-
troll division.
Under direction of civil service
director Thomas Wilson, investi-
gators are inquiring into the need
for each employe In the depart
ment. The one object is TO elimi-
nate "deadwood" and instigate q
downward trend in pay rolls.
Wilson said the inquiry will be
extended to all governmental
divisions.
A Starting Point
"The liquor commission 10

said. cit may develop that the
need for almost every employe
can. he explained. On the other
hand, we may be able to weed
out hundreds of unnecessary
workers by consolidating aetivi-
ties"
Governor Van Wagner ordered
the survey because OF disapoint-
ing results in his campaign for
voluntary reductions. J."
When he took Office last Jsnu-
airy the chief executive promised
10 reverse the trend which has
brought about pay roll increases
annually for several years. As
first step he asked division heads
TO eliminate non-essential work.

Although all promised co-opera-
ton, Van Wagner discovered
last week that there are now 49,
$50 persons on the pay roll. an
increase of 671 since last Janu-

At the Church of Christ, Scien- tist, on Sunday the subject is Are Sin, Disease and Death Real?"
 The following excerpts from the Lesson-Sermon are taken as fol- lows.
 From the Bible: And behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity IS years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself And when Jesus saw her, he called her 10 him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine mfr mity. And he laid his hands on her; and immediately she was made straight. and glorified God. Guke)
 From Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, By Mary Baker Eddy: The physical healing of Christian Science results now, as in Jesus time, from the opera ton of divine Principle, before which sin and disease lost their reality in human consciousness and disappear as naturally and as nec- essarily as darkness gives place to light and sin to reformation (Prefaee xii
