Mrs. Luce Has Her Own
'GIobuIoney' Definition

MIAMI, Fla, Sept. 3.-Represent-
ative Glare Boothe Luce told the
Daily News in letter that she had
decided to stop waiting for a lexi-
cographer to define "globaloney," !"
the much-debated word she coined,
and do the job herself, as follows:
"Globaloney is derived from two
words-global, meaning world wide,
and baloney, type OF sausage and
also a type of nonsense or hooey.
In other words, globaloney means
nonsense on global scale. 1t does

to point out that some of the pro-
posals for the postwar world were so

Dear old Golden Rule Days

City schools opened this week with the
usual accompaniment Of gleeful shouts.
Bright shining faces watched teachers
every move. There was the usual specu-
lation, from primary grades to high school
senior class, as to teachers qualifications;
how she was going to rate with the class
personnel; what teacher might think OF
the juvenile gatherings was not taken
into consideration.
Once again the responsibility for the
young child and the junior misses and
teen age youths is shared by each teacher
i'll each grade and department Response
BILE parents are glad to have their chill
dren once more supervised in studies and
department. The irresponsible parents,
of whom there are many, unfortunately
at the present time, feel that they can
become even more irresponsible.
And here we come again to worm
out topic but one that is getting contin-
ued notoriety - juvenile delinquency.
Certainly juveniles and children too young
to know the answers they are giving were
never more out of hand than they are at
the present time. AS it is constantly
pointed out there is not the parental
authority. Mothers are engaged other
wise and children come and go as they
please, and do as they please. Our own
city, and others as well, continually re-
port meaningless acts of degradation to
private and public property. Very often
the culprits are not caught and because
of their age punishment is slight if any.
This week with the opening of school
it is felt that the teachers have bigger
task than ever in doing their part to
mould youthful character and to restrain
youth on the rampage. School days Z.
dear old golden rule days, are with us
again.

Italy Surrenders With Honor

Italian capitulation which was an
nounced to the world yesterday was
inevitable. This news has been looked
for each day since Roosevelt and Church
ill met in Quebec. The intense and con-
ceptrated assault on the toe of the boot
which is Italy brought about the antici-
pated reSult-to surrender with honor.
ThiSis, perhaps, the beginning of the end
of gradual Axis capitulation. But too
much cannot be expected, though it is
fairly certain other dependent German
states are likely to follow Italy in sur
rendering.
The official announcement came from
General EiSenhower'S headquarters in
North Africa, and will go down in history
as the first major proclamationS of the
war, with, we hope, series OF similar
ones as war affairs progress favorably for
the Allies. The terms of the armiStice
were all agreed to and the feeling of re-
lease and relief which must be felt today
by the people of Italy, is shared by their
fellow countrymen who are members OF
our country and our own community.
Our news dispatch states that "the
news, tersely flashed to the world >.
represented the elimination of brilliant
military operations conceived, in consul
tation with their staffs, by Mr.. Roosevelt
and Churchill In conferences begun here
In December, l94l, and climaxed - as
far as the Mediterranean theater was
concerned - In the historic meeting at
Casablanca-early this year."
The Allies find themselves one step
nearer peace, a peace which the world
has been praying for In response to re.
peated requests from the Holy Pontiff
az Rome, whose fellow-coun'rynen have
had 10 see q necessltated bofnbardment
ol their country, continual attack for
days and days. Italy has surrendered
with honor. We await future events
which viii eventually bring 10 close the
war on ell fronts.

Big Fish Eat Little Fish

AS Federally sponsored power projects
enlarge their field of activity, they step on
the toes of municipallv-owned power
projects. One of the latest examples is
down in Texas where the Guadalupe
Blanco River Authority and the Lower
Colorado River Authority tangled with
the city of San Antonio when all three
wanted to acquire part or all of the San
Antonio Public Service Company.
The political ramifications of the deal
are of interest to the rest of the country
as they illustrate how the current pro-
Nram to promote Federal specialization OF
large segments of the electric industry
destroys tax-paying private enterprise
first, then local home rule, and finally,
states rights.
The pattern for these proceedings fol-
lows the world trend of recent years where
the most powerful country swallows the
less powerful country, until finally indi-
vidual freedom is wiped out and only
bureaucracy remains.
Well, it's up to the people. Their eyes
should be open by this time. If they want
to retain liberty and freedom of oppor-
tunity, they can reject political schemes
to destroy private enterprise. This issue
is out in the open at last.

Repeated train wrecks are the cause OF
considerable CONSERVATION. Where you
find several within short space of time
YOU cannot view the happenings as en-
tirely coincidental. The director of the
Office of Defense Transportation at
Washington lays it to labor and equip
.ment crises. The idea of sabotage has
been shelved. With train travel as it is
now trains should be equipped and stated
in adequate fashion. Naturally the per-
sonnet is constantly shifting. Most of us
have feeling that competent trainmen,
engineers and so on, should be left where
they are. Unfortunately worn out cars
and equipment cannot be replaced at the
present time with all industry working
on war material So what to do?'

Apropos Of juvenile and more mature
age delinquency we note that the Kings
County Court in New York is opening
court for youths from sixteen to eighteen
year sof age. Present at the first session
which was held Tuesday Of this week were
Mayor La Guardia, State Senator Fred A.
Young, author of the legislation, Superin-
tendent of School John E. Wade, and all
the judges of the county court. The Court
is planned in the interest of checking
crime among youth of those particular
ages. It is described as experimental
and the judges will deal directly with the
offenders. Youths of these specified ages
are a problem at the present time, and
the handling OF their cases is difficult,
since it is not advisable to assign them to
the hardened criminal class. Neverthe-
less, they are potential criminals, and a
menace to the community in which they
live and operate.

All Out for Third War Loan

The Third War Loan is a swift, sure
test OF your common sense, your ability
to take 1t, and at true measure of your
own flesh and blood, the men you, have
sent off to do the fighting for you.
It combines all of these aspects because
It comes at time when American forces
are doggedly seeking a decision on the
battlefield, often at the cost of life itself.
Attack. Counter-attack. Attack. An
other ridge. Another valley. Another
town. All sense of time gone. You get
weary. You smell death. But you keep
going. That's invasion. That's the way
war correspondent tells the story of
what your relatives, your neighbors, your
friends are going through at this
moment.
But what about you? Is it attack,
counter-attack, attack for you on the
home front? Are you fighting battle
to save every penny possible for War
Bonds to back up your fighting men?
There's hardly comparison between
your greatest sacrifice on the spending
front and the sacrifices in blood and
sweat of one OF your soldiers, sailors,
flyers, marines or coast guardsmen.
Your Government comes to you and
/ need it to protect you against your
enemies, and I'll pay you back with in
terest little later when the men who
would murder, rob and enslave you are
destroyed" .... ...s.. .......
It takes a country like ours to make
such an offer. Where's your common
sense if you don't run, not walk, to the
nearest Bond Booth to lay down your
11I ovnhonna A. for Wor PnnNcO
Your Government is putting its .objec-
tive before you in two ways. First in big
round numbers like Is billion dollars.
Secondly, but more important, it puts the
Third War Loan matter up to you in a
purely personal way. It wants you to
invest a minimum Of an extra 500 in
War Bonds more if you can. If you
are one Of those Americans who have not
vet bought War Bond - or even a War
3Stamp-it asks you to get busy in a
with you If you won't put an extra rifle,
or an extra clip of bullets into the hands
Of your men on the battlefield.
There's another thing to keep in mind
as you face the test of the Third War
Loan. You may grumble about the cost
of living. That's not the thing really to
worry about. The Nazis and the Japs
have let you know that your chief worry
is living itself if they can get their hands
on you. If you want ore graphic example,
remember those American martyrs of
Jimmy Doolittle's Tokyo raid.
The slogan, Back the Attack-With
War Bonds" is addressed to you. Rich
man, poor man, worker, boss, man, wo-
man or child - you all have something
to lend to your country at time like
this. You would not be worthy of being
an American if you did not have the fibre
to trade bread for liberty.
Other Americans are crouching in as
sault boats at this moment Waiting for
INVASION. It's assault time for you, too.

"When you get back home don't
forget to send me some Of those
stamps with leopards on them"
The remark illustrates what stu
remains the Presidents favorite
hobby, despite the war. There
Is nothing which helps SO much TO
give him q moments relief from
the worry OF war as having vol
urne Of stamps sent up on his
breakfast tray on q Sunday morn
ing.
And on most Sunday mornings
he shuffles new stamps, paStes
them in his albums, and person
ally keeps his collection up to
date. Some collectors employ ex-
perts to keep their collections IN
shape and the President has had
a small amount of help from
Gerard Beekman, who also helps
Secretary Ickes. For the most
most part, however, Roosevelt
handles his stamp collection per-
sonally.

best. The late King George

800 volumes. The Presidents
collection numbers only 40 col
umes, with from $4,000 to $4,000
stamps.

by those Of Sol Newberry, OF
