RADIANT LIVING
MASTER OF DISCHORD
BY REV. c. M. GRIFFETH
Pastor Methodist CEarch. Cernton, Md.

In its last analysis, music is only
noise. 1t is mere vibration strik-
ing upon the eardrums, making one
conscious of what we call sound.
But who wants to break music
down into its last analysis? What
you desire, rather, is such a mas
terry of sound that it becomes music
of such enchantment that you are
carried away into the realms of
fancy.
There is. so much noise in life,
harsh and dischordant, striking not
upon the cal, but upon the heart,
setting the nerves on edge, bring
ing confusion to the mind, and sad
ness to the spirit.
What every man needs is some
Master of dischord, some super
musician who can weave all the
harsh noises of the strife of life
into a symphony whose melodies
soothe' the spirit and whose har-
monies inspire the will to achieve
ments.
Is not Jesus Christ the greatest
of musicians? Where is there a
greater who can take the dischords
of anger, jealousy, strife, and
hatred and quiet them down into
a harmony of brotherly kindness,
good will and fellowship?
Recall how He once stood in the
stern of that frail little skiff as it
was being driven before the fury Of
the raging storm, and with the
baton of His commanding voice,
brought the bowling of the Shrek
ing wind and the kissing of the
wild water into a melody of calm.
Just so, can He, as the Master
of dischord. bring the noise and
confusion of your life under con-
troll and weave it. into a symphony
of love, peace and joy.
There are no dischords in that
life which is fully yielded unto the
mastery of the Christ.

HOROSCOPE

Benefic aspects seem to domi-
nate today. II Ia a date for inn
portant decisions and certain
forms of initiative.
Heart and Home: Through the
remaining weeks OF winter, fam
lies should practice thrift which
avoids unpleasant limitations
regarding legitimate recreations.
There should be daily apprecia-
ton Of the sacredness OF domes-
tic ties and full enjoyment of
each days happy associations.
for next year will be marked
by many changes affecting our
American mode OF life. Through
tribulations. losses and changes
there is to develop a postwar
world In which justice rules.
Business Affairs: In the fac
tories of the United States.
either victory or defeat for the
nation Is in process of produce
ton. On the workers depend so
many business issues that there
should be the utmost diplomacy
employed by heads of great cor
porations. The stars presage
continued general prosperity,
although the tax drain will be
felt by business organizations.
National Issues: Understand
ing OF labor's point of view is
advised. because the stars seem
to declare that the index to the
future of the nation is identical
with what happens to industry.
In other words. the workers
form the soul of the democracy.
Neptune. returning to it's own
place for the first time since the
Declaration of Independence was
signed. puts labor in the place
OF power.
Persons whose birthdate IL in
have the augury of year of
extreme changes which involve
endless activities. Brilliant OPP
portunities will come to men Of
mechanical or scientific training.
Children born on this day
probably will be fond OF pomp
and ceremony. Both girls and
boys should be brilliant in mind
and strong in body.

DETAILING what happened
IL 10 Gen. william B. Mitchell
when he predictN what would
happen n the Unted States
didn't wake up 10 development
of the airplane as a war ma
chine. it's a good thing for Mr..
Emerson f. Snyder. young
man of Tampa. Fla. that he
isn't an army officer or even
private. On the other hand.
with recent happenings fresh in
mind, IL might be a good thing
IL Mr.. Emerson did have a voice
in the councils Of the high COM
mand.
What started this was another
gem discovered deep down in
the innocuous verbosity which
so often fills the appendix of the
congressional record. It's a let
ter written by Mr.. Snyder to
the Tampa Daily Times and was
put in the Record as part of
criticism of the army air policy.
Here, in substance, is what the
letter says:
The writer states that he be-
gan flying when he was is years
old. He is now 26. He attended
one of the recognized aviation
schools for three years. He
holds an airplane mechanics Ii
cense, commercial pilots license,
has had 100000 miles in the air
as a flight steward, and for the
last Is months has been a crew
chief in the maintenance de-
partment Of one of the largest
air transportation companies
on the Atlantic coast.
He has had 500 hours in the
air and has completed an in
strument rating. In any coun-
try's airplane language this
means pretty good preparation.
Having been told that the
army wanted only college men
to fly its combat planes, Snyder
attempted TO get into a civilian
pilot training school for re-
fresher course. He was elected
because he never had gone to
college.
Two years ago, says Snyder,
he joined the air Corps Reserve
as an enlisted observer, hoping
that he could study and work for
a commission. He was rejected
again on account of educational
qualifications and because he
lacked experience in the type of
plane used by the army-an ex-
perience he could obtain only in
the civilian aeronautics training
schools from which he was bar
red because he never had at
tended college.
Among other references to
the army airplane policy Emer-
sons letter includes this:
'If this country wants TO win
an air war Ii had better con-
slider the average American pilot
from the standpoint of expert
ence, not college credits
Aviation was not started by GO
ing to college; men who wanted
to fly postponed their college for
the thing they wanted TO do most.
But the army doesn't know
that. and will II know before it's
too lates"
There isn't any argument on
what college education is worth
its priceless-but there are
exceptions to all rules and the

PULSE OF
THE PU BLIC
PRICE REGULATION

Editor The Times: When
some market price federal COM
mission really blooms into
action, the premier move, so
far as the Pacific Northwest
coast is concerned, should be
the proper control of the prices
of sea foods. a most important
item in these parts.
Several federal commissions
supposed to be intended to hold
such costs in check have re-
putedly been brought into ex-
istence with fine promise. But,
absolutely nothing is actually be-
ing done.
The federal government has
very much to do these days, and
new departments or commissions
must first be organized and get
their bearings before they can
do very much. Hence. We may
well enough be patient.
But. there is good service in
pointing out anything that
should be done. Regulation Of
sea food prices on the Pacific
coast is quite definitely one of
these.
Prices of sea foods. fish,
oysters. crabs, etc. and partieu-
larry the great staple of ordi-
nary food fish. have been arbi-
trarily increased all up and down
the Western coast from Canada
10 Mexico, in an autocratic and
unwarranted manner. This bur-
den is imposed upon the home
budgets where problems are al
ways sufficient and this with
out reason or reasonable excuse.
Sea foods are not manufac-
tured. There are no feeding
costs or material costs, or mo-
nopolies or increased labor costs
TO add burdens. Most Of the sea
food harvest is by men work.
ing ION their own" as We say
The small percentage of sea
foods brought 10 market by the
Organized fisherman whose
wages have been slightly in
creased, have not had added a
cent a pound to the cost Of the
fish. No license 10 fish is re-
quired and anybody can take
a rowboat or launch and harvest
all he can The actual cost in
the matter Of table fish, such as
the great army of common
people need. is not increased to
any appreciate amount. Yet,
fish in the markets cost consum-
ers from 40 to 100 per cent more
than they did a year ago.
Common or popular fish which
used 70 sell for 10 cents pound
now costs 20 cents a pound; and
fish which formerly cost 20 cents
a pound. are now 80 cents a
pound. Smoked or kippered fish
formerly costing on the retail
market Is or 20 cents a pound
are now so or IS cents a pound.
Why. and what is going 10 be
done about il? There are no
monopolists or big bosses to
contend with.
