Daily Prayer
FOR DAILY STRENGTH

Eternal Father, strong to save,
whose infinite power is ever di-
rected by fathomless love, we pray
to Thee for Divine enabling to
meet the ever-recurring needs of
our lives. Day by day petty cares
and great concerns press upon our
spirits. We of ourselves are not
equal to them. So
"We ask Thee for the daily
strength,
To none that ask denied
A mind to blend with outward
life,
While keeping at Thy side"
In the simple faith of little child
dren, may we confide constantly
in Thy father care. Into Thy
keeping we commit our dear ones
who. are in service; and our Coun-
try and our Cause; and all the
great goals which are the unspoken
prayer of our hearts. Whatever our
lot, whatever our griefs, whatever
our burdens, we leave them with
Thee; for Thou knoWest the needs
that underlie all our desires. Day
by day, day at a time, we would
trust Thee and Thy Father love
and Thy sovereign power. Amen.

Just Can't Be Beat

Drew Pearson, in his Friday "Merry-Go
Round' column, sheds light on why so many
essential wartime projects are sidetrackee
and what is needed to get them back on tht
main line.
He makes it clear that communities neal
the vortex OF confusion surrounding the wal
effort must have friend at court if they are
to get their projects approved And the high
er the rating of that friend the better i:
their chance Of success.
Pearson cites the Jacksonville hospital a:
a case in point. Says he:
II you have the right kind of friends in
Washington, you can overrule even the
high-handed Facility Review Committee
OF the War Production Board.
This committee sits pile OF appli-
cations for civilian construction Of all
sorts-hospitals roads, housing, airports,s
etc.-and takes pride in its record of
turning down almost all applications
One of its recent reflections was project
for constructing hospital in Jacksonville,
Onslow County, North Carolina. But Jack
sonville had some friends at court, and
the project refused to stay dead.
Sidney Weinberg, special aide to Donald
WPB office where he thought the project
might have been snagged whats hap
pened to that Jacksonville hospital?" he
asked
ITS been ruled OUT was the reply.
But we can't do that" expostulated
Weinberg. Marvin Mcintyre is interested
in that project. Who ruled it out?" (Mc-
Intyre, secretary to the President, has
lived and worked in various parts of
North CarOlina)
Weinberg was told that the Facility Re-
view Committee had vetoed it. We'll
have to have re-hearing," decreed Vein
berg.
Result was that re-hearing was staged,
local officials were brought to Washington
from North Carolina at considerable ex-
pense, and the committee grudgingly
yielded to pressure. Thanks to amiable
Marvin Mcintyre, the Jacksonville hos.
pital will be built.
Meantime, most projects, lacking highly
placed pleaders, fall by the wayside.
This is typical of the bureaucratic govern
ment under which we are struggling todav

FRENCH UNITY NOW POSSIBLE

General Giraud is moving, it
seems with commendable honesty
and faitAfulness, to close the cleav-
age between his and the Free
French forces under the command
OF General De Gaulle.
He has made the latter a fair
proposition and bears it's sincerity
out by dismissing two important
Leaders associated with him in Of
ficial matters in North Africa who
were clearly pro-Vichy.
General De Gaune owes it to
the loyal French and to the future
OF the fallen republic of France
to forget his self-importance as
military leader and undertake
to become more understanding of
the political implications involved
in the aggravating case.
That has been his major trouble

matte finesse.-Charlotte Observer.

THOuGHT FOR TODAY

The secret of David's greatness lay
,areely in his exalted ideas OF God. EVl-
dentiy he was well brought up. MS ins'
recorded utterances indicate that he had
unusual religious training at home. NO
doubt he got much from those quiet days
when he sat on the hillsides around Betnle-
hem and watched over his sheep and medl-
tated on the deep things Of God, but
he had not had good religious training at
home he would probably have spent his
time thinking of something else.

flights OF imagination, as the poet sald' but
to others it presents a problem of community
Health and city beauty
Spring is the season chosen by insects to
repopulate the, earth and their progeny gen.
orally carries disease, like the Wandering
Jew, into the least suspecting homes. Flies
particularly spread pestilence the germs OF
which, in many forms, exist in garbage upon
which flies feast whenever and wherever they
find it.
It stands to reason that if garbage is kept
in covered containers, as required by law,
flies will have little chance to find it. 1t is
important, therefore, that householders e
garbage containers which are tightly covered
and stop putting it at the curb in open boxes
or barrels. This applies as well to proprietors
of restaurants.
The communitys health demands strict OBJ
servance Of the garbage ordinance. If there
is any breakdown in this, then it is the city's
duty strictly to enforce the ordinance. 1t may
be claimed that unless householder were
actually seen setting out garbage in open
containers and testimony to this effect offered
in court conviction would be impossible. But
this does not meet the need Whether Black
stone contains precedent for it or not the
ordinance ought to show that umsealed gar
bage before house is prima facie evidence
of the house occupants guilt This would
bring a stop to too prevalent disobedience OF
the ordinance.
The health of the community would thus be
better assured. The beauty OF the city, at
this time when Nature is inclined to be lavish
with her gifts, would be tremendously in
creased if means were employed to stop
promiscuous scattering of trash on sidewalks
and in streets in which pupils and motorists
are common offenders. Children too often
drop lunch wrappings where they eat. Patrons
OF soft drink establishments throw paper cups
and napkins on sidewalks. Motorists toss
them out of car windows. The result is that
sidewalks and cutters are Uttered with un-
slightly trash.
The city is understood to intend to place
receptacles in front Of popular soft drink and
to the extent that patrons use them. Might
it not be beneficial to enlist boy and girl
scouts and the R.OT,C. in a campaign to
educate young and old in the advantages of
maintaining the citys thoroughfares in spot
less condition? Perhaps, with the city gov
ernments encouragement, large corps of
monitors could be organized from their ranks,
with the members on duty in certain areas
and for specified hours, with authority to
issue such orders as the situation at the time
would justify
There might be some rebellion, Of course,
for rowdies will be rowdies at all times
but it appears that some such arrangement
would bring improvement in situation that
needs correction.
We have no means of knowing in advance
that this would be the best solution Of the
city beautiful problem. All we know is that
something needs to be done to keep trash off
streets and sidewalks

WASHINGTON. - When I fine
that Owen Roberts, OF the United
States Supreme Court, thinks i
necessary that the United States
take the lead in securing order ir
the world, that carries a gooc
deal Of weight with me.
Justice Roberts can have no axe
to grind.
He is safe for life on the Su.
preme Court. What Justice Rob
erts says carries weight with me
because l know he could be nc
crackpot, having been a conserva.
tive Republican, corporation law.
yer in Philadelphia, and because
since Herbert Hoover appointed
him to the Supreme Court, his
life work has been the study and
protection of the American con-
stitution. know-as everybody
in Washington knows-that Justice
Roberts is the one man who is
not inclined to gamble or play
carelessly with American institu.
tions.
We don't know what the Senate
will permit this country to do to-
ward joining with other nations.
The Serate is trying to make up
its mind. That makes this the
most critical hour since we wait
ed in 1910 to know if Britain would
stand, or whether we would have
to face the whole Nazi wor
alone.
So I offer Justice Roberts as
a witness.
Will the Senators give S m e
weight to his views before they
take the i1reparable step Of refus.
ing to permit America to join
other nations?
In Philadelphia the other night,
a United Nations meeting wa S
held. Justice Roberts presided.
What he had to say was not re.
ported.
Justice Roberts began by say
ing that the most important thing
before he American people today
was the form of the postwar set.
tlement, and that the leaders OF
the country necessarily must have
the backing of a fairly unanimous
public opinion or they would not
feel a mandate to organize the
peace.
Justice Roberts asked a number
of questions of the audience, which
he said the American people must
answer for themselves, such as:
could any order, peace, security,
economic well-being or liberty ex-
ist without law, and if not, how
should the law be formulated.
Could any such law be formulated
except by the various peoples rep.
resented in the supernatural gov.
ernment?
Justice Roberts then put to the
audience a number of questions
with respect to the powers of such
a higher-level International gov
ernn1ent, and asked if the solution
of these questions seemed impos-
sible. He then drew the analogy
from the American constitutional
convention, which was faced with
quite as grave difficulties and
managed to overcome them.
Finally, Justice Roberts said
there were two essentials to the
rganization of world order.
First, that the American people
must lay aside all partisanship.
Second, that in seeking unity on
plan there must be some give
and take. Each person must de-
eide for himself what was funda-
mental. and be willing to yield on
"details that really were non-es-
sential.
