FINLAND WILL PAY

| One of the strangest things asnu-
J this war is the status of little EiE-
| land. She is at war with RlzsSiss
and Great Britain; she is regarded
by many as being a tool of Hitler, A.
! charge she resents hotly by point
ing out she has only sought to xs-.
gain what mighty Russia took fruEa
her in that fateful war betweeE
them when Stain was trying to EEL
the jump On Adolf by butressing the
approaches TO Moscow.
Although England declared wa
on Finland when Germany useE
that unhappy little country as n
STEPPING stone in her granGiosg
plans, the United States dia not
follow suit. Sentiment in this copns-
ary has never been bitter. toHarE
Finland, for Americans are an un--
dcrstanding people and mosG OF rGy
realized what the Films were nm
against.
Now, out Of this confused anE
confusing mess comes word freEs
Helsinki that the Dec. Is payment
on the Finish debt to the Unitail
States will be made out of funds II
that country frozen by our treasury.
Moreover, Finland says it will con-
tinue to pay so long as she can OBJ
tain American dollars for the pHr-
pose.
Here is little nation which alone
of all the world in debt to US fzU
consistently and regularly met Efn
obligations on the dot We never
had to remind the Firms and theE
always considered it an honor tss
pay their debt. 1t is notable that
they still feel that way about it
Certainly this war makes strange
bed-fellows. We are allied with
Russia and England, which are at
war with Finland. We are at wsr
with Germany, who is not at war
with Finland and who regards Fin
land, il not as an ally, surely as q
sort of buffer or outlying fortress I'm
the far north. And we not only ara
at peace with Finland, but show mn
inclination to fight her. FinaiIx.
Finland clearly does not consider
us her enemy, else she hardly
would in this grave moment Of hec
history be ordering paid the DeceR--
ber installment Of her first Wor&E
War debt to us.-O. S. journal.

Parents 10 Protest
Today on Closing Of
Jackson School
Cite Favorable Location
And BIome Treatment
On Lack of Votes

A Parents Committee will protest
to the Board Of Education meeting
this Afternoon the closing of Jack
son School, r street and Avon place
NV, less than two weeks before
the beginning OF the fall term.
The informal committee OF parents
of children who expected to return
as usual to Jackson Elementary
School on Monday called on Robert
l.. Haycock, acting superintendent
of schools, yesterday afternoon to
register their protest. The board
ordered the closing at It's meeting
last Wednesday because, according
to Mr.. Haycock, enrolment of stu
dents has steadily declined in the
past five years from 800 to 100, the
number of pupils now being in
suficient, he said, to warrant keep
ing the school open.
The Parents Committee, headed
by Mrs. Lawrence M. c. Smith, con-
tends that while the enrolment was
small last June, Jackson School has
the most desirable location of any
elementary school in Georgetown
and should not be the one closed.
Favor Sharing Expense.
The committee also holds that
heat, light and maintenance ex-
penses could be shared by the
Georgetown Ration Board, which is
housed at Jackson, and perhaps a
future nursery school,
Main protest OF the committee,
according to Mrs. Smith and to Mr..
John Summerscale, serving on the
committee, is that they were noti-
ned Of the closing of the school just
II days before the fall term begins,
leaving them no time to register
their children in private schools.
They say that Jackson School had
high scholastic standards and was
In every sense the most desirable
school for their children.
The parents have sent petitions to
the District Commissioners, Board of
Education and the House and Senate
District Committees, asking that
the school be opened again. In the
petition they state that this action
in closing the school without con-
sulting the parents is another ex-
ample Of how voteless citizens in
the District are treated"
Cite Traffic Hazards.
Children who formerly attended
jackson will now have to go farther
for their schooling and cross main
arteries of traffic, Mrs Smith said
They also will not have the advan-
tage afforded by play space at
Montrose Park just across from the
school, where supervised play re-
lieved working mothers of RESPONSE
bility for their youngsters several
days a week.
The Commissioners have been
notified of the closing and will
decide what use will be made of
the school, Mr.. Haycock said. The
other five Georgetown schools, Mr.
Haycock said. are not crowded and
will be able to accommodate the chill
dren from jackson Few, he said,
will have to walk more than eight
blocks.
Col. Archibald King, president Of
the Georgetown Citizens Associa-
ton, will appear for the Parents
Committee at the Board of Educa-
tion today. Other members OF the
committee include Mrs. King, Will
liam Leetch and Mrs. Summerscale

What" asked Short-sighted persons a
few months ago, can advertising do i'll
war tima?" The answer is now evident,
and the answer is, ''plenty!"
Even where fewer consumer goods are
available, conscientious enterprises are
enlisting the services of advertising both
on their own and the nations behalf.
Most advertising today carries far more
than a story of bargains. 1t has become
a valuable source of information on gov
ernment retail policies and rationing or
ders 1t has become the super-salesman
of War bonds and stamps, thanks to patri-
otic enterpriSers who have spent vast
sums urging customers to put their dol
lars into Uncle Sans cash register.
Advertising has become a protector OF
Americas strategic resources. Through
newspapers, tire manufacturers have
broadcast nationwide appears for rubber
conservation and outlined methods OF eX-
tending the life of tires AT their own
expense the iron and steel industries
have put advertising to work on behalf
Of the governments scrap metal cam
paign The ads of progressive grocers,

shoppers not only with news Of the best
bargains. but also healthful low-cost
menus, hints as to the best shopping
