The MAGNIFICENT English

n RIME MINISTER CHURCHILL mas won great
i victory-in parliament
But he has lost very great battles.
Nearly all of his victories in parliament, and
nearly all of his defeats are in battles .
Mr. Churchill is putting England TO severe test OF
the old adage that the British lose all their battles and
win all their rather get allied nations to win
their for them M..0N
OF course England has not lost this war.
The English are very stubborn people and very
brave.
They muddle unfortunately.
They bunge dangerously
But they not cutters.
And they love England
And they will SAVE England
They may not save the British Empire, as it existed
prior to this war In fact they have already lost much
of the old empire and steadily losing and more
of t-not much to their enemies to the peoples OF
various parts of the empire.
INDIA will never again be ruled by Britain it
before 1t could be ruled much worse especially If the
barbarous Japanese the rulers.
The English have not been barbarous in India and
indeed have been barbaous anywhere for many hun
dreds of years India could be ruled worse if ruled
badly by itself for the English have maintained SEM
bance of order and have done much else that good for
Inda-accomplishment hardly to be expected If India
persists in racial and religious divisions
Burma and Malaga will not easily be ruled by Britain
again Peoples which have conspired in change of
masters will not be always content under any master
Even Australia will never again be as devoted to
England before The Australians believe with consider
able reason that they have been abandonedto their
by the English in this And they know
their would have been insufficient to repe
invasion and avoid conquest if it had not been for the
timely and adequate help of the United States.
So in the future the Australians will attempt to be
indeed sefsuficient for Defense which would at

d UT let us not be too discouraged downhearted
- about the English.
They are an admirable and wonderful people, cu-
turaly and socially and morally.
They are magnificent people, in crisis and travail.
They stood up to the German juggernaut after the
fall of France and after the debace of Dunkirk with
spirit and utter staunchness which made even Hitler
pause and then refrain from pursuing what seemed an
advantage.
They stood up to the fiery blast of the most frghtful
bombing ever visited by upon men, and dug out of
their rubbe of homes and cities and buried their noble
dead and fought and on.
They would and WILL fight with their bare fists, if
necessity compes it to their beloved isle.
Surely, the English wonderful and magnificent
people and they deserve to keep their homeland intact
and will keep it so.

REPEAL LEADER
WM. H. STAYTON
DIES AT SMYRNA
fcontinned from Plrst PaTel

CONTINUED from First Page,
Military funeral services were
held in Washington on Wednesday
with burial in Arlington National
cemetery.
National Crusade
Captain Stayton founded the As
fsociation Against the Prohibition
Amendment shortly after the end
of World War. I. Starting his cru
sade in Baltimore, he contacted
friends throughout the country and
soon membership in the organiza-
ton numbered thousands. Many of
the members were leaders in bust
ness and civic affairs who contri-
buted large sums toward the Or
ganization's work.
Throughout the life of prohibi-
ton, Captain Stayton was the main
spring of the. repeal organization,
carrying his fight before the U. S.
Senate with charges that even some
of President Heover's cabinet be-
lieyed the law a failure.
When the fight was over and the
Eighteenth Amendment repealed,
Captain Stayton credited much of
the campaigns success to the eff
forts of women. Through Repeal
Association his work has been car
ried on, taking strength again in
recent months to combat recurring
efforts to establish prohibition.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH

Service report for Sunday, July
10. Subject: Life"
Golden Text: John 5:26. AS the
Father hath life in himself; so hath
he given to the Son to have life in
himself.
A Bible Citation from the Lesson
Sermon: Job 1874. The spirit of
God hath made me, and the breath
of the Almighty hath given me life.
Correlatiye from the Textbook,
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Ed
dy: God fashions all things, after
His own likeness. Life is reflected
in existence, Truth in truthfulness.
God is goodness, which impart
their own peace and permanence
.. For right reasoning there
should be but one fact before the
thought, namely, spiritual exis-
tence. In reality there is no other
existence, since Life cannot be
united to its unlikeness, mortality.

SAFETY COUNCIL NOTES
aPUFFING PEDALERS"

Americans today can be divided
into two groups-the 100000 who
have bicycles and the 121,000, 900
who are trying to get them.
Workers are riding bicycles to
their jobs. Business men are rid
ing them from their suburban
homes to the station. Housewives
are pedaling to the grocery. Fam
lilies are taking bicycle rides on
Sunday.
Now, while all this putting and
pedaling is bringing health and
muscles to a lot of people, it also is
bringing headaches to drivers and
traffic policemen.
These headaches can be reduced
(1 if bike riders learn the traffic
rules for pedalers and, t2) if auto
mobile drivers also will learn these
rules and recognize the rights of
bicycle riders to use the streets.
A few pointers for pedalers are:
1. Obey all traffic laws, signs,
and signals.
2. Ride at the extreme right of
the street with traffic-never on
the left side facing it. Don't zig
gag!
8. Ride single fiie-never two or
more abreast.
A. Keep both hands on the handle
bars. No stunts!
5. Never hitch ride on another
vehicle.
6. Carry packages in a basket or
attach them securely to the bike
where they will not obscure vision.
z. Never ride double or carry
anyone on the handlebars.
8. Keep your headlamp and rear
reflector in good working order if
you ride at night. A rear light is
better than a reflector.
9. Use arm signals when you
turn corners.
10. Remember-your bicycle is
subject to same general traffic
rules as an automobile. Obey
themi
Whether or not, the bike rider ia
observing all the rules, you should
be and should have your vehicle
under control to avoid a crack-up.
