 Those reports that Hamilton park VIII be without its beautiful ice-cap at the fountain near East Main ttreet and that skating may be pro- hlbited at the rink in the same park arc decidedly premature. So says James J. Curtin, superintendent ot 6nrkR.
 ' MT. Curtin said that water at the fountain, which each winter forms a Slue-white ice-cap many feet high, has been shut of, but only tempo faTily. The fountain was disconnect- Sd, he said, only because water in the city's reservoirs Is low at the moment, but once the water supply is back up to normal 1t will be turn- cd on again, waiting for Old Man Winter to freeze into the miniature iceberg that is the delight of park strollers, passing motorists and AordeS of amateur photographers,

 He told public audience of 5000 mostly newlyweds. yesterday that husbands and wives must have con- fidence in each other.
 "An open heart" he said, ''is a source of happiness in common life. We do-not say that the condolences exchanged between h$band and wife must be without limit since there are secrets which cannot be revealed, such as professional secrets of doctors, lawyers, state officials and military officers. Tn these cases the wife must show she trusts her husband and make no attempt to learn the secret"

The Issue Before Us

When even hear the mention of over
population, and that war is Natures
means of destroying the excess of hui
manity, anger burns deep within me. To
think that we have those among us today
thoughtless enough to declare that God
is not a just God; that He is cruel and
sordid enough to create life only that it
be destroyed Such teaching is based
upon selfish warped motives Such teach
ing covers a multitude of sins-false-
hoods and low-lying schemes.
| can recall-during my early school
days - that time when the instructor
drew chart upon the blackboard as a
crude illustration of the mathematical
decline of subsistence compared with the
increase of population. How handy our
youngsters. They are flexible and ever
on the alert for knowledge, and are good
ground for the growth of truth or weeds
Population may be on the increase
however man is prevented from using
the soil In producing a livlihood. And
after all. we must all acknowledge that
there is nothing we make or use that does
not come from out OF the abundance oil

to recall the recent destruction of grain.

direction of q few misnformed econo-

With Congress in recess last
week, the legislative wheels have
been slow to start turning during
the past few days But while
Congress itself has not been legis-
lating, many OF the Congressional
committees have been doing some
very important work. For IN
stance, during the past two week
the Military Affairs Committee Of
the House has been meeting daily
i'm connection with its investiga
ton of the progress OF the ma
tional defense program, The Ap-
preparations Committee has also
been meeting regularly, while the
Ways and Means Committee has
been actively engaged in study
ing methods of raising much
needed additional revenues.

forget this needful defense measure. Let
us set a watch upon our tongues and
listening post at our ears. When we hear
a rash statement, let us say to ourselves,
Who's they What is the source.
Whom does it profit to have this story
told?' And then let us set guard upon
our tongues, SO that we pass on no ru
mors not facts, that we do not know to
be true. This is the first law of defense
and one which can and should be carried
out by every citizen In our democracy.

Jugo- -Slavs. like the French Army,
found that courage along is not
sufficient to stop the German
Panzer units. Some of the recent
British defeats in Lydia and Nor.
thern Africa did come, however,
is distinct surprises to American
observers. While, it was known
that many Of the seasoned British
veterans in Lydia had been with

paign, it seemingly was not known
here that the Germans had trans
ported SO many mechanical
troops into Africa. Just how soon
the long delayed and often prom

England will be made is still prob
lematical. As this is written
there is a well defined rumor GO

that the attempt to invade Eng
land may come Easter Monday
or before this column appears in
print. On the other hand such
a runor may be simply another
move in the so-called war of
