Cultural Survival

England is country beleaguered,
yet its cultural life continues The
most recent issue of Britain Today
contains several articles which serve
to show how popular interest in the
arts and the sciences has prospered
despite the siege of the tight little
isle"
For example, the magazine opens
with an editorial on questions OF
'the postwar social order" including
provision for "a national policy of
town and country planning and a
far-reaching measure for dealing
with the national system of educa-
ton" The House of Commons, it is
explained. has before it-in addition
to the already famous Beveridge
report-the Barlow, UthWatt and
Scott projects for the development
of industry and better and more
effective use of land. Steps are to
be taken for "the abolition of recur-
rent mass unemployment" and to
that end the securing (of) CO.
operation among the United Nations"
will be undertaken by the govern
ment.
Meanwhile, there has come into
existence number of movements in
behalf of worthier and more durable
expression of the peoples natural
instinct for beauty. One of these is
the so-called Council for the En-
couragement of Music and the Arts
or. briefly, CEMA, catering to those
who are hungry for the best" It's
theory is that: professional art is of
no value if it does not originate in
love of the art itself and stimulate
in the appreciator a desire and, in
some degree, power, to create, i. e., to
practice an art-not necessarily the
same art"
A coincident expansion is chron-
icled in an essay on "The British
Musical Renascence," reviewing the
endeavors Of Vaughan Williams,
Frank Bridge, John Ireland, Sir
Arnold Bax, Benjamin Dale, Eugene
Goossens. E. ]. Moeran, Alan Bush,
william Walton, Constant Lambert
and Benjamin Britten-a whole regi-
ment of composers who, encouraged
by enthusiastic audiences, have en-
tered into competition with the
illustrious dead" in the field Of ma
tional harmony.
In literature a no less authentic
vitality Is manifest. Among the
books lately produced are biographies

the flve-year period before the war
they worked an average of 1872 days
a year. Now, as the Perkins-Steel-
man proposal has been interpreted,
the miners would be guaranteed
payment for 312 days of work year,
with the pay for So of these days be-
ing at the rate of time and one-half
The net effect, it is estimated, would
be to give the miners an average in
crease in annual earnings equivalent
to s2.25 daily pay boost.
This proposal, obviously, should re-
suit in more coal production, and
more coal is needed. In fact, many
of the miners already are working a
six-day week, at time and one-half.
But there can be no assurance of a
market or need for all of the coal
that could be mined under a uni
versal six-day week, yet under the
Perkins -Steelman plan the men
would have to be paid at time and
one-half rates for producing coal
that would not be needed, or, pos
sibly, for not working at all.
In these circumstances it Is diff
cult to see any adequate justification
for the plan, especially if it is to
serve as precedent for other indus
tries. With the price adjustment
which has been made, it is reasonable
to suppose that the operators will
want to produce all of the coal that
can be sold at profit That, of it
self, should bring about an extensive
conversion to six-day week plan of
operation, at time and a half, with
out incurring the risk Of having to
pay overtime wages for unnecessary
work, and without arbitrarily Great
ing a justification" for breaking
through the Presidents stabilization
line to give Mr.. Lewis disguised pay
increase.

ALGIERS - North Africa is
a long way from home, but the
WACS have found their place
here and are doing a man-sized
job, even though they don't pack
guns and sleep in foxholes.
The first WAC commended for
gallantry under fire was Pfc.
Mary l.. Taylor of Lake Charles,
La, typist for the North Afri-
can Economic Board. Pfc. Tay-
Tor was on her way home in A

Pfc. Taylor took one quick
look and applied some cool
headed first aid Then she and
the lieutenant driver drove 20
miles in a ieep with flat tire
to a first aid station. The WAC
never said word about the
incident, which would have been
forgotten if Lieutenant Mayfield
hadn't turned in a report when
he was released from the hos
pital When questioned by her
astonished friends, Pfc. Taylor
shrugged her shoulders and
said, II just got caught in a
blackout "

Senator Tydings
On Soldiers Vote

In his regular weekly broadcast
over WBAL on Sunday afternoon,
Senator Willard T'ydings pointed
out that, under Maryland's regula-
tons for voting, service mems votes.
even though authorized by Federal
Legislation, would be thrown out
and not counted, unless they quail
fed under the Maryland law.
The Senator went on to say that
Federal legislation to permit per-
sons in military service to vote
"would be a farce and sham" as
only the states could provide "sure
and legal way for them to vote in
elections.
In conclusion, the Senator re-
ferred to the Federal Constitution,
which says in part, that no one may
vote in any national election who
is not qualified to vote for a mem
Der of his own legislature. But, he
added, II will aid in every possible
way in having Maryland provide
this right to vote to all Marylanders
in the Service"

Girl Scouts To
Help the USO

Service men visiting the U. S. @.
rooms at the Y. M. c. A. are not GO
ing to want for cookies if the Girl
Scouts of Washington County can
help it. For some time past, a
cookie jar has been in the lounge,
so that the boys could take care of
that sweet tooth. Well, from now
on, the Girl Scouts are going to see
to it, that the jar is always full.
Each Troop in the county will take
turns, every eight days, in seeing
that the jar is well stocked.
Final plans have been made for
the annual Girl Scouts Christmas
carol-sing, which is scheduled for
December %, beginning at o'clock
when the girls will gather at st.
Mary's parish house. Mrs. Warren
Smith, Jr., will direct the singing
and the hospital will be among the
places where the Scouts will make a
point of stopping.
Later in the evening the carolers
will return to the parish house for
refreshments served by the Girl
Scout Council.
