SGT. DORM MARTELL is one
of the few soldiers in Italy who
ever received a quart of Canad-
ian Club by special messenger
from the United States, we are
informed by his sister, Mrs. Will
liam Wood, of 1921 New street.
Dorm, a finance officer, met a
chap from Flint and the two be-
came fast friends. The Flint
man had to return to the United
States and offered to get in
touch with Dorn's family, and
also volunteered to bring back
the QUARTZ he ever came back
and located Don again (Which
was a mighty long shot, as they
say) However, he accomplished
both missions successfully; tell
ing Mrs. Wood how well Dorm
was doing in health and at crib
bage, and, being reassigned to
his old post in Italy, where Dorm
was still serving, he personally
delivered the package of liquid
goods.
To the names of the lads
who are now in France we
may add that of Dorm Mar

Whether such invitations be &C

Riddering To Be
on Air Monday

An important message to labor
will be broadcast Monday, october
Is, between 5 p. m. and Sis p. m.
over Station WJR by Albert A. Rid
dering, Republican candidate for
congressman from the 18th district.
In his appeal to labor for stable
postwar world, Riddering says,
These rights (of collective bar
gaining, etc., are guaranteed to you
by the Constitution and the Ameri-
can Bill of Rights and not because
Of any political party"
In telling labor of its response
bility to management and to itself,
firm in his belief that neither fac
tor can long endure without the
other. Riddering says, IF you fail,
America fails. To have success you
must have a strong. united, dignified
labor organization whose strength IS
in the ranks of labor and which
does not lean on any political par
ty."
Mr.. Riddering. who spoke last
night at a testimonial dinner in
Dearborn, will address a gathering
Sunday at the Bedford NJ. E. church
at noon, and expects next week to
have all his time taken up with
the itinerary of Gov. Harry Kelly,
arriving in Detroit October IA.
Mr.. Riddering, who is superin-
tendent of schools in Melvindale,
has three sons in service and is a
conscientious campaigner for an
honest, stable, peaceful postwar
world.
I'VE want a durable peace" he
said, "a peace that will live not
only for IS years-but for all time

today arming for another war in

resurrection provided an absolute
authority for his teaching.
Without the resurrection all re-
ligion would be but O vain, wishful
cropping toward something better"
Hence, in the light of that security
and certainty that the Catholic faith
begets in those who embrace it, it
may be presumed that the resurrec-
ton was not accepted without
thorough questioning. The fact is it
has been the subject of heated
scholarly investigation in every age.
Nevertheless, its historical authenti-
city remains.
Because of the resurrection, every
word which Christ spoke becomes
truly the word of God. These words
are treasured by faithful Catholics
as absolute truth.
From a study of the life Of Christ
as recorded in the New Testament,
other facts of faith follow in logical
simplicity. He founded His church.
He entrusted to it the task of pre-
serving and spreading His teaching.
Regardless of her tremendous world
ly ramification, the church cannot
and does not add to or take away
from these simple beginnings. Nor
can 1t be proved that she has ever
attempted to do SO.
The Overwhelmingly logical fact
then that the Son of God Made Man
once walked this earth and left in
the custody of His church an heri-
tage of Divine Commandments for
human belief and practice has al
ways been and remains today the
logical, common-SenSe basis Of Cath
Ole faith.

that If Catholics would drop the
binders from their eyes and use
their God-given brains, their faith
would scamper off like a whipped
cur. The impression intended is that
the church is a huge racket which
could not survive thorough investi-

Canada Helps in
Ducks Comeback

WASHINGTON-UP- The Can
adian government has played an
important. part in helping to quad
ripple the continental population of
migratory waterfowl during the
past few years, and because Of
this, United States sportsmen owe
"a great debt" to them, according
to DR.. Ira n. Gabrielson, director
OF the Fish and Wildlife Service.
IF the federal government OF
Canada, as we'll as the govern
ments OF the provinces, had not
cooperated so wholeheartedly In
the work OF conservationists both
in the United States and Canada"
Gabrielson said, we could not
have alleviated the social duck
depression as rapidly as we have
done"
He explained that Canada set
aside millions of acres" as sanctu.
aries for ducks, geese, swans and
other waterfowl. in addition to
completing more than 10000 water
projects. ranging from small stock
watering ponds to large storage
reservoirs and lakes for the bene-
fit OF the waterfowl population.
The duck depression" occurred
in the mid-1930's when the duck
population of North America drop
ped to the "alarmingly-low" figure
Of q, 900, 900, 1t was said, due chief
ly to a severe drought and unusu-
ally heavy shooting. But because
of the measures taken by both the
Canadian and the United States
governments, the waterfowl popula-
ton of the continent has made a
noteworthy comeback since that
time.
Certainly the Fish and Wild
life Service could have asked for
no more cooperation than Can
ada has always given" Gabrielson
said. IT has been a good neighbor
