The postman rang twice at the

Gilboe, of CAT Hull street, Windsor.

valentines from their only son,
Leading Seaman Arthur FrancIS
Gilboc, a member of the Royal
G a q j a n. Navy. Only A few
minutes later there arrived a note
from Ottawa saying tie boy was
missing, believed lost on active

The valentines carried the mes
sage:

FURTHER CHARGES SEEN

Further changes might be made
in Michigan. he said, if Office of
Civilian Defense orders from
Washington are changed.
Mayor Jeffries said he had not
read the new plan but assumed it
to be the same which he and Gov
ernor Van Wagner had agreed
on orally a month ago. Much of
the delay in defense preparations
has been blamed on conflicting
aims and ambitions of overlapping
civilian defensc groups.

GUNS, PLANES ASKED

In addition to protection of De-
troit. the governor asked guns and
interceptor planes for the protec-
ton OF the 500 locks and other
production centerS.
Colonel Furlong said that proper
civilian defense would require
35S,000 volunteers through Michi-
gan. There are now 100000 in
training.
He made clear that there is no
intention on the part Of the de-
Tense council to Supersede local
OfficialS-an answer TO police
chiefs who feared that they might
be told how 10 run their depart
mentS. Colonel F'urlong explained
the defense council would be
supplementary and advisory to
established authorities.

FurlonG plan to committee
headed by Charles +. Boyd.
Addressing a meeting Of the
county council. Colonel Furlong
said:
"If any one asks IL we are
ready today the answer is that
we are not.
"Who gives the orders doesn't
amount To damn. The question
is, Are we going TO do the job
and. are we ready?
WOULD BE DANGEROUS
"If there were one nearby
Axis base, Michigan would be In
highly dangerous spot. We
would receive the enemy's I'M

mean the loss Of life and the
destruction of property.

craft guns in the area that you

From Washington came re-
port that the White House has
transmitted 10 the war department
a request for planes and anti
aircraft guns made by Gov. Muir

submission of the re-
quest followed remarks in A press

Efficiency Rotings

The efficiency rating revisiops just
announced by the Civil Service
Commission should be valuable to
Government agencies in connection
with the administration Of the
Ramspeck-Mead pay law.
Instead Of grading all employees
according to the same uniform
formula, the new system sets up
method by which each individual is
rated on factors bearing particularly
on his work-a method that should
provide far more dependable ap-
praisal of ability in each case than
heretofore has been possible.
This is highly important in view
Of the fact that pay raises are
granted or denied on the basis Of the
efficiency marks. theoretically, pro-
motions. demotions ana dismissals

are old, rickety and in sorry need Of

piers and dockyards, most of which
have been developed during the past
decade and half, probably would
survive a first attack; but that Ger

Dental sections, the homes Of the
middle class and the slums Of Toxic.
If bombed, those r 'tions OF the
metropolis would vanish almost in
stantly.
No responsible spokesman for their
foes as yet has expressed any desire
to blast the capital of Japan as Ma

pleasures, but have we given them by
precept and example those vital things
that enrich and ennohle life, that give
it stability of character. and the Chris
tian virtues that are indispensable to
satisfying living?
As youth looks out upon this confused,
disturbed world he knows, because he is
beginning to think for himself, that there
are definite causes that have produced
the chaos he sees. His home and his
home -and-college training have provided
much to satisfy his physical desires and
his intellectual tastes, but there has
been little in it all to satisfy the deeper
yearnings of his spiritual nature. He is
conscious Of the emptiness Of his soul.
I have had men Of distinction who have
gained positions of afnuence come to me
in these recent years to tell me that
there is something tragically lacking in
life; that there Is much that Is super
fcial. unreal and unsatisfying and that
there must come, and come soon, a re-
turn to old and wholesome ways, or We
face serious days ahead.
Come let us reason together" Is q
phrase from an Old Testament book; it
is a call to reflection, a call to think
through the trends and tendencies and
ways We are following today Facing
stern realities, we cannot pursue our
course, thinking the while that present
serious symptoms will cure themselves
without wise and skillful forethought
and treatment. We are arming our sons,
We are responding to the call for pro-
duction, we have confidence in the
strength Of o,lr Nation, and this is we'll,
but, are We beginning to look ahead to
a new kind of world land it will be ter
ribly new) into which in some near day
we expect to be entering? Guns and
ships and planes cannot make this new
world, but deeply sober and reflective
men and women who reason can Come,
let us reason together" about the real
tempt, II only that. TO penetrate the
heavy mists and dark clouds that enfold
us and let us begin. and begin now, the
work of rehabilitating, not our spent
forces. but our lives for the new day
that lies ahead. Our old methods and
ways upon which We spent SO much have
failed to deliver us from discord and
confusion. There are new highways to
be built for the pressing feet of an eager.
oncoming generation. Let us begin to
build them. They will not be satisfied
with the old highways, they demand bet
ter and safer ones. Reasoning together,
yet, and reasoning with God in the
equation. we will build for tomorrow q
better world. II we reason today, we
shall be saved tomorrow

have hinged on these annual ratings
since they were instituted, but there
has been little money available for
advancement Of deserving workers
for several years. Consequently, the
same weight was not attached to the
ratings as otherwise would have been
the case. With a definite pay
increase program provided by law.
however, the ratings take on a new
Importance, and it Is necessary that
they be as truly reflective OF the
worth of each individual as Is pos
sible. It was with this end in view
that the commission asked admins
trative officers for suggestions as to
changes In the system that had been
In use for several years, and their
recommendations, which now are
being carried into effect, are based
en- the demonstrated shortcomings
Of the former plan.
In making the changes effective
the commission wisely called the at
tention of the various agencies to the
necessity Of administering the sys-
TEN carefully and fairly. In doing
this the commission followed the
lead Of the House Appropriations
Committee, which provided funds to
start the Ramspeck-Mead program
with the admonition that the future
of til system depended on the
manner in which it was administered.
Too much emphasis cannot be laid
on that point.
