Among Non-C -Chureheoers

The spiritual equivalent" of an
all-out mobilization of resources is
necessary If the world is to have
lasting peace at the end of the war,
a convention on religious education
here was told today.
The remarks were made by DR..
j. Fisher Simpson. director of lead
erShip education OF the Methodist
Board of Education, Nashville,
Tenn, who spoke at a meeting of
Protestant church leaders at CAL
vary Baptist Church.
The meeting was called to map
plans for bringing religious educa-
tion to nom -churchgoerS. 1t is part
of a Nation wide rally being con-
Quoted for three weeks, during
which 135 similar one-day conven-
tions will be held.
World Brotherhood Urged.
The race moves forward through
educational processes" DR.. Simpson
said. National and racial bigotry
must be overcome by a sense Of
world brotherhood. People must
learn to live together.
This can be achieved only as
persons are taught the way of
Christ and develop confidence and
action in the way of love, of good
will. of forgiveness, of redemption.
Christian education must become
more effective. 1t must be extended
beyond the church to enlist the
home. Stronger leadership must be
developed. The half of the popu-
lation that is outside the church
must be won to Christian convic-
tionS. There must be closer working
relations between the church and
other community character-forming
agencies"

Releases TO Factories
NOW political pressure has become

Four Considerations.
This combing out of the civilian

four considerations. 1t was first.

fensive thinking by offensive and,
second, II would be necessary to
recognize the impossibility of COM

were based on the need for addi-

This decision comedies with re-

made by no more than is bombers

VANDALISM THoUGHTLEssNEss IN

AS this is written. law officers are attempting to trace a bano
of vandals and that is a polite word for them who vr
tually ruined the contents OF a community hall in our nearby
Cherry Creek locality. The hall is isolated and it may be that
their identities will not be determined.
Every community has an occasional case Of this kind. Invari-
ably it is assigned to younger people and usually, but not al
ways, this is found to be correct. Most people, who know the
value of work and effort, who realize the trouble and sacrifice
involved in anything that is made, become Indignantly angry
when they hear of such destruction.
A lot of work, volunteer work, went into the building of
this hall 1t had an adjoining structure, a school building built
many years ago wholly by the labor of men and women of the
community. 1t took more work and an incalculable amount of
time, in the aggregate, to equip that hall for the enjoyment of
both younger and older people - innumerable benefit dances
and socials and outright donations. ever the democratic way
in rural communities. Some of that money was paid out in hard
years, at times when a dollar wa a mighty scarce article for
many families and hunger was not unknown.
Can anyone blame the men and women who put their part
time into this labor of love over many years for their bitter
feelings? Did the people who, among other acts, kicked out
windows. smashed chairs on the floor and ripped the face and
works from a clock think Of the evidence of this work of many
hours that they erased in a few minutes? They could not. Van
dalsm is thoughtlessness in the extreme. If the people re-
sponsible read this editorial, we hope il will bring them some
qualns OF conscience, some realization of what they have done.
1t would be too much to expect their kind to make any resitu-
ton. But it may restrain them from more of this sabotage, the
kind that ranks with that of the Nazi invader in a Russian
village. The Germans, at least, convert loot to their own use
Our local vandals can rank themselves in the class of saboteus
at this time when every bit of our production must be con-
served.

TRULY A LABOR GRIEVANCE

There is a danger in generaizing in our condemnation o
strikes in wartime. This we believe after hearing the facts con
corning a welders' strike on the west coast, both through reha
bic news reports and from Valley county men now working in
that region.
The weIder. whose work goes hand in hand with almost
every kind of construction nowadays is truly a man without a
union. This is not his fault. Most of his present troubles grow
out of his desire and efforts to have his own union, the steps
taken by labor unions to suppress him and the indifference, or
apparent indifference, of our government.
Welding has, in part, replaced the work of other crafts. 1t
has found no fixed place in craft unions. But the weder has
to work on union jobs. so he must belong to a union. Having
none of his own, on one project he may be required to take
out an ironworker's card, on another a machnnsts on another
a bohermaker's and so on. Some welders have been known to
carry a dozen or more union cards. With high initiation fees
and changing locations of work, it can be seen why the welder
wants his own single union. 1t is sometimes necessary for him
to pay out several hundred dollars within a few months in order
to stay with his jobs.
The older unions show no desire to change the status quo
and, from a purely financial and selfish viewpoint, we can
understand that. In fact, one former Valley county resident
working in Washington wrote his father that the parent union
in his particular plant notified the welders employed there,
about 1000 of them, that they would have to raise a special
assessment of $50, 900 - with no reason given. He justfia-
bly, felt some bitterness because misinformed but weI-meaning
people were calling him and fellow workers un-American
More to the point is it to say that when any group of labor
becomes S strong that it Expresses another labor group that
combine becomes too powerful, when it harmfulIy exercises
monopoistic powers, there is but one recourse an appeal n
to the government. SO far, that government has taken no steps T
to arrive at a solution. Does it, too, fear the older and more
entrenched unions? We cant answer that, but we do feel that | b
the west coast welders have a genuine grievance and that we b

AS The Editor Sees 1t
ALL OUT FOR DEFENSE

Last week S134.35 worth OF de
tense stamps were sold in the GlaS
gov schools. This week befor'
Thursday morning, S82.55 o wa.
sold. 1t shows that the students o
Glasgow schools car enter whole
heartedly into affairs of nationa
importance. But these sales mus
be kept up.
If everyone of us students buys
a dime stamp each week more thar
$500 a month will go into national
defense. And since there are four
months left before school is out
that means over 81. 600 from Glasgow
High alone. That is a goal worth
aiming for-particularly when Amer
lean liberty and freedom are at stake.
Even though we are all quite sure
that the Stars and Stripes will
come out on top, we can't afford
to be yer confident.
Buying defense stamps is a good
way to start a savings account. Let
Uncle Sam use your money when
he needs it. and when you have
use for it. it will still be yours.
Buying defense stamps is what
yonger people can do. Our country
can use us here at home. buying
defense stamps, and saving paper.
and metal tubes. as well as
the men in the armed forces. Boys
and girls in school a help win this
war.
So just remember, every week go
10 the office and get a defense stamp
and you'll be doing your bit in
.Keeping them Ewing" B. A. NJ. '43
