THE GLASS AGE

Perhaps some of the men in your
family received a glass belt, glass
wallet or glass suspendors for a
Christmas gift. To think we would
ever live to see thisI 1t was the
previous trial of making bathing
suits of glass that startled the dis
Greet. However, the feat OF utiliz-
Ing the glass into practical and last
ing apparel seems to be ACCOMPLISH
ed The transparency and elasticity
Is each given it's place and so we
have glass belts, watch bands, pens,
wallets, suspenders and SO on. The
way that science works there are
probably number of new ideas in
their collective heads for addition
al products. Men of Kennewick who
wipe dishes, hope that the future
VIII bring a glass, elastic tableware
which can be easily run through a
Wrtnger attached to the side of the
sink. This will save wear on the
cotton towel that may be glass by
next Christmas.

NOT so MANY

A Courier-Reporter reader recalls
that when radio came into being
there was the general question con-
corning what would become of the
piano. Many felt that nothing could
ever replace this instrument in Am
erican family-life, and although the
piano was an expensive article, it
was left to be necessary piece for
pleasure and education. A piano
that sold then for $500 has been re-
duced to less than 5000 today. It
may mean that more people may af-
ford them or it may herald the
passing. We know that there has
been a recent revival of interest in
Victrola and the records for talk
ing machines are selling in in
creasing numbers monthly. Perhaps
the piano, too, will return to grace
the front parlors as an American in.
stitution that is not lost.

It is easy to cry over split milk,
but it is too bad that the minds of
the people of this country could not
have seen the necessity of the pre-

might have helped us to side step
the depression. We might also have
been in a position where We could
have told other countries with a war
complex to tie up their war dogs
and forget it.

Considerable is being printed and
said to the effect that this country
Is more or less muddling and blund-

It seems to be the democracy's way
of doing things. Somehow, though,
this democracy always manages to
get things done in a big way.

Health is expected to occupy an even more prominent place than ever before ct meetings of local groups this winter due to the growing interest of the public in problems of state and national i'm portance, according to the weekly bulletin of the State Department of Health, which calls the atten- ton of local leaders to the health educational facilities that are avail able to communities through the Bureau of Public Health 1nstruc- ton.
 One of the responsibilities of lead- CTS in every community this win- ter, says the bulletin, will be tc present authentic health informa- ton to the people not only as Il relates to community health where defense measures are concerned but lso the health of every mem- Der of the family.
 To assist leaders and other in. dividuals in disseminating this in- formation the State Department oi Health will supply on request speak CTS and informative material on public health. Special emphasis will be placed this year on defense.
 Health films are used to illus. trate most health subjects, and al! speakers from the department car supply their own equipment pro- vided local projection equipment t not available. Films are IS nm. both sound and silent and few of these are in color. Films are loaned on request when local equip ment Is assured to be in good work ing condition and an experienced operator Is available.
 Besides this material, exhibits and leaflets on a variety of health subjects are available free of charge in Connecticut.

They are not forced to do their work, but the story goes that, at the first camp set up, the boys did more in week than eco boys had done in four wee8s or IVA boys had accomplished in eight weeks.
 BOYS OF MANY
 TYPES AND FAITHS
 Of the 52 already at the camp, which has capacity of 15o, tie majority are college men or col- lege graduates. There are school teachers, college athletes, bank clerks, advertising men, engineers, chemists, men from every line of work.
 Theirs is not a single religion. Many faiths were represented when the 52 arrived, including Quaker, Episcopal, Evangelical and Re- formed, Methodist, Baptist, Jew ish, Church of Christ, Presbyter- ian, Lutheran, Tn Accord with she Scriptures, Catholic, Beth Taber- nacle, Church of Ged, Jehovah's Witness, Hollinen, Pilgrim, Hon- ness, and United Brethren.
 There is no type" of boy or man. There is Jonathan Steere, from one of the most prominent families in Haverford, Pa, who was educated at the exclusive Wil- liam Penn Charter School, attend

 There is tall, scrawny boy from Yadkin county, Jehovah's Wit ness, who arrived at the camp with nothing but the clothes he wore.
 The problem of Louis Hilbert of Baltimore, who studied music at Johns Hopkins and at Peabody Tn- stitute, was similar to many of the boys. His answer was the same.
 He looked at his hands. "That was my family's first thought. What about your hands?' they asked. You'll get them dirty and ruin them for playing I told them 1t was little enough to give up."
