TIRE OPPORTUNITY.
In CURRENT SALE.
TO PROVIDE SAFER MOTOR
CAR OPERATION ON HOT
SUMMER HIGHWAYS

Anticipating the years first
new peak in tire buying; sched-
uling of the annual Spring Sale
has Just been announced by Ray
mond Curry, operator of Paufs
Tire and Auto Supply Store,
local Goodyear dealer, who points
out that the opportunity is tim
ed to coincide with the begin
ming Of what may be the coun-
try's biggest driving period in
any year.
Present plan for sales dates
covers the period from May Il
to 81 during the 10 days of which
dealers nationally will feature
the first-line G-3 All-Weather
trade-in deal, as well as the ALI
American in five popular sizes,
attractively priced for the sale.
Backed by a written guaran-
tee, these tires built with i'm
proved Supertwist cord have in
creased body strength, the G-3 in
actual tests having averaged 20
percent longer tread wear than
other first line tires tested.
With rubber prices steady for
the time being at least, despite
crucial international situation,
now would be a logical time for
those who need tires during the
Summer to make requirements
on their cars, in the opinion of
Raymond Curry, owner of PauPS
Tire and Auto Supply Store, eS-
pecially since prices are lowered
in a period when buying should
be increasing, because of a sea-
sonal demand for new tires to
provide safer motor car opera
ton on crowded highways.

THERE are four other cita-
L tons. including the Howard
HopSon case. but these will give
you the general idea. and a full
canvass of the docket would
leave mono room for my say.
which is as follows:
The Organizers editorial says
all the persons and companies
cited in its list are members or
hangers-on of the upper class"
and that those who bark at or
ganized labor can't seem TO see or
hear real examples of racketeer-
ING and thievery by such.
The answer is. of course. that
crooks are constantly being ex-
posed and punished in all walks
of life. but that only in some
labor circles is the denunciation
and prosecution of knave re-
sented as an attack on a whole
class of innocent people.
Possibly the theft of $4,000 is
"a minor peccadillo" in Wall
street. but il is also minor
peccadillo in union management,
too.

Our State Hospitals

UNDERTAKING is a perplexing problem in this age
- when the must stretch tax dollars as
far as possible to meet public demand for such new
services unemployment insurance, old age pensions,
school aid and relief.
1t a task which will take the present Legislature
about five months of diligen research every dollar is
to be spent wisely and efficiently.
But the government must not wait until the new
budget is ready before equipping and opening Its new
hospital wings
These buildings started in 1887 by former Gov Frank
Murphy have been completed for than year, and
have stood neglected. barren reminders of astonishing
penny pinching by subsequent administrations
MEANWHILE thousands of persons needing mental
lVl treatment and committed to state hospitals by the
probate walking the streets being housed
in county jais because of the states dawdng policy
In his message to the Legislature last Friday, Cover
Van Wagner said wards for 1868 patients wait
ing empty because equipment has not been provided He
said funds to open these new structures should be
appropriated
The Legislature however should not wait to include
such appropriation in the budget that will be passed in
May or June.
The need is NOW.
The money should be found at through def
cheney appropriation or other means.

A Drive for Peace

THOSE members of Congress and other citizens who
endeavoring to prevent this country from becom
ing ebroled in the European have received vigorous
support from within the Holy Name Society of the
largest and venerable organizations in the Roman
Catholic Church.
The Rev. Dr. John A. O'Brien, professor at Notre
Dame University spoke the other day before rally of
the Holy Name groups at Purdue University
Father O'Brien called upon the society to:
"Mobilze the millions of members in mighty
crusade to keep America out of and OUT OF ALL
STEPS WHICH INEVITABLY LEAD TO III.
DOINTING out that the country is treading the
same path which took into the World War in 1917
and which cost billions of dollars and many thou
sands of casuaesthe Nore Dame educator emphasized
especially that vociferous minority may easily succeed
in involving us in the present conflict UNLESS THE
VAST PEACE-LOVING MAJORITY MAKES ITSELF
Praying for continued peace for country is not
enough, he said
"Unless we implement our prayers" Father OBrien
continued "by deluge of a million kilograms Ito Pfesi
dent Roosevelt and Congress) which will rise like
thunder above the shouting of the nterventioniss
shall witness again the tragedy of having the
of people led like sheep to the slaughter"
Father O'Brien is of those who believe, as does
Senator Burton Wheeler of Montana that peace effort
should be attempted at by official trustees
The objection raised to such undertaking is that
the begerent powers would could assent to
armistice or peace conference at this juncture
THE alternative of course is knockout war-a pro-
i longed and utterly destructive war, in which every
beigerent will mpoversh itself and in which every free
peope-incudng ourseves-may sacrifice the worlds last
remnants of liberty and democracy without curing
Europe's chronic ills.
Consequently, the very argument which deters our
government from making peace proposals to Europe is
itself irrefutable argument against getting in the
war.
The antwar crusade for which Father o'Brien APP
pealed to the Holy Name Society should enlist every
American who American institutions to be perpetu
ated as they have down to us.
