But listen to this heart warm
ing profession OF hope and faith
by Vincent E. MCGOWAN:
"Is il right to bring hope into
this uncertain. war torn world?
What better way TO help us face
an uncertain future than with
the faith which the innocence Of
new born baby instills? As
father know the prospect
would be bleak. indeed. were IL
not for the knowledge that my
child and others like her are the
future of America and that BY
training her In true moral prin-
ciples am contributing 10

Some may say that this does
not answer the problem of the
hardship a child may have 10
endure in the present stau Of
world chaos. But no parent
should be influenced by such
considerations. II is up to the
parents TO provide for their chill
dren and no real American will
admit his inadequacy in that
regard.

the world at present has
nothing 70 offer a new born child
but suffering and unhappiness."
warns Joe Cara, Jr., OF San
Antonio. Texas.
IF married couples are truly
conscious of their duty as
parents, they will not have chill
dren until the war is won.
IF the new father is required
to go overseas to fight. he may
never return. Then the baby
will be fatherless and heavily
handicapped throughout life.
The mother will be forced to find
work i'm order 10 provide for her
self and her child and she will
have TO leave The child i'm the
care of someone else. However
good that care may be il cannot
compare with that Of real
mother.

 A pay increase of $500 a year for all city employees. tax rate reduc- lion of three-quarters of a mill. and an estimated grand list of $l87 .000.- poo are provided in the budget rec commended by the Board of Finance Due to inability to secure materials capital improvements are almost en- t:rely omitted.
 The tax rate of 90 miles will be sAe city,s lowest in 2l years.
 The aldermen have until Dec. IS C npprove the budget for next year There may be some Republican ob- jection to part of the budget figures since Alderman Burton H. Walker minority leader. has expressed ob- jection to granting pay increases to city employees who are in tho higher-paid brackets.
 The pay increase for city employ es comes as a climax to campaign waged for more than two years by municipal employees for higher sal- aries and wages. It is included in the budget as a 'cost of living ad- justmenf." which will be subject to removal after the war.
