, nary type. There are two tech
niques in living, not one, and to
neglect the second is a familiar
cause of personal disintesration.
This is often displayed the
more tragically in personalities
of the stronger sort. They are
not loose and disjointed, but de-
termined and courageous; they
propose to handle life effective
ly; they put their best effort into
1T. But the more Strong-willed
they are, if that is their sole re-
lance, the less adequate they
become to face life as a whole.
The very aggressiveness they re-
ly upon misleads them. They
grow hard and domineering;
they ride high horse; they be-
come dictators, national or do
nestle; they miss those finer
and, in the end, more enduring
qualities that come from spirit
ual openness and hospitality;
they have no humility, no con-
seriousness of being indebted to,
and dependent on, resources
greater than their own. Such
self-sufficient wills produc e
pride, obduracy, insensibility.
Their owners may be forceful
and hard-driving but they be-
come intolerable.
One sometimes meets such
persons at the end of their road.
Some things they have been
able to do, but not to keep loyal
friends, have happy families,
win genuine esteem, develop
wel-rounded, gracious, under
standing character. Their high
handed dealing may even have

overreached itself and brought
public humiliation and disgrace.
The pride that goes before de-
struction may have ruined the
very achievements they gloried
in. They have tried TO outwit
one of the elemental facts of all
organic life and il cannot be
done.
1t is one of the specialties of
religion not only to insist on the
necessity of both techniques-a
dedicated will and a superior
source of aSsimilated power -
but to furnish means and occa-
sions SO that this experience of
intake may be real and opera
tive. Many people leave to hap
hazard the appropriation of re-
sources deeper than their own.
Then in extermities they sud-
denly clamor for help in prayer
and often are disillusioned be-
cause they cannot get it.
They carry over, even into
their search for Divine assist
ance, the same aggressive meth
DDS they have used everywhere
else. They explode themselves
toward God in their demand for
help. They have never made re-
captivity habitual resort in
daily living, nor organized their
lives so that periods of inspira-
ton are as much a part of the
spirits regimen as times of eat
ing are for the body.
They have never learned the
day-by-day secret of interior re-
enforcement, concerning which

A young boy once went with
his family to church on Sunday
morning. He can now recall
nothing about the service until
the minister was we'll on in his
sermon concerning the high use
of life to meet human needs.
Then doors began to open in that
boys mind; there came visions
of possibility not there before
and a new sense of direction
and purpose. That was nearly
80 years ago, and the boy has
never escaped the influence of
those few moments. This is a
typical human experience - a
single hour of inspiration when
we are not trying can determine
the meaning of many subsequent
years when we are trying.
If one has no such hours one

AS for the realm of personal
character, to attempt such an ex-
planation of Jesus is futile. Of
course he tried; his volitional at
tack on life was powerful and
sustained. But to use his own
figure of speech, his life was like
a well, and from deeper sources
than his own came a constant
supply of appropriated power.

Inlay City Jamaieans

The arrival OF 2O9 Jamaicans
at the Inlay City Labor Camp

of workers for any farmers
needing day workers.
The workers arrived from the
Traverse City area a week earl
Ter than planned. 100 workers
are contracted 10 start work
August 20. The remainder are
contracted TO start September

contracted for until September
l will be available daily and
may be hired, without contract,
by any farmer needing workers.
A few will be available, without
contract. after September /.
They are housed at the camp,
are transported TO and from
work by the farmer and are
paid the prevailing wage rate
of so cents per hour or may be
hired piece work. They are
adapted TO do most types of
farm work and have given good
satisfaction to truck gardeners
and fruit growers. Farmers in

turning to prayer in crises only,
with frantic and spasmodic out
bursts of supplication, we get
nowhere. This is not really using
the technique of released power;
it is merely endeavoring to use
the aggressive will-technique in
realm where it is irrelevant.
To become a river instead of a
pool, we'll instead of a cistern,
is a far profounder matter. That
is a day-by-day habitual way of

Ask Roosevelt To
Ban Discrimination

RtAesO OAOl
the War Department has had a
policy on the training and pro-
motion of Negro officers and that
that policy has been to restrict
their promotions as much as pos
sible. particularly as line officers.
Our beliefs, we are certain, are
shared by millions of Negro Am
orleans who have not needed any
organizations or newspapers to tell
them the story, but who have
learned from the experiences OF
their relatives and neighbors what
a bitterly contradictory dose Of
'Americanism' confronts the Negro
who wishes TO serve his country
in the war against Hitlerism.
I'VE have the conviction. which
is shaded by millions of Negro
and white Americans. that most
of the difficulty stems from tho
basic policy that men in our armed
forces must be segregated accord
ing TO color.
1--WE call, therefore, upon you
as mmander-in-Chief of our
armed forces on land, sea, and in
the air, to order the abolition of
segregation by race and color in
Americas fighting forces to the
end that victory may be achieved
more speedily by our unified
army, and the peace made more
secure by the oneness of our ci-
william population"

Swords Into Plowshares

(New York Times
 Some phases of the postwar period pleasant to look forward to- foretaste is the offer of the United States Maritime Commission to sell or in the near future 4755 obsolete used Army assault boats at top retail price Of $75 The boats not especially fancy. They aren't as big as the Queen Mary. They are, in fact sort of rowboat, strongly built weighing displacing about one-thireth of ton, and provided with outboard motors. Let the imagination play. See them Central Park Lake. See them on New England California lake. Be- hold Ahem chugging up the Mississippi or the Ohio, tangling with snags sticking sandbars. Best of al imagine them manned with youngsters who have come home from the wars for good because the wars are over.
 This business of beating swords into plowshares keeper can have much for big gun medium or heavy tank, flame -thrower or an 8O0O-pound bomb But some machines of war will have civilian uses Consider the humble jeep. Consider, perhaps, small type of landing craft which may be able to take Papa Mama the three children Uncle John and Aunt Emma, with all that they need for a seashore vacation and spit them out in trce on some lovely, practically unnhabited beach Perhaps even the South Sea Islands of them can be converted to peace time use Would any American family like an atoll, little LST to reach it with, jeep to run around it?
 These thoughts cannot be merry just now, The machines of grim and will have grim assocla- tions for those who have them in war But the time is surely coming when can think of them, and use some of them, in tranquility.

SOCIAL SECURITY

Now that Congress has taken steps to freeze the social security payroll at the existing level of one percent many are beginning to wonder if the old age benefit dream will not eventually develop into another pension plan supported out of the public treasury.
 What Congress has done is to put an end to the pay-beforeyou-go principle of the Federal old age assistance plan it originated In the beginning the plan designed so as step up the tax rate from to two and then to three percent.
 Although the present rate of individual and em- ployer contributions exceeds the drain upon the reserve fund in a matter of few years more and
The Daily Alaska empire., 1944-12-21

more workers become eligible, the amount paid out will far outstrip the income Then the great question will be whether the taxpayers of tomorrow will be willing to pay for old age benefits which the aged workers did not pay for during the years of their employment. In a matter of decade or so, we will have millions of workers qualifying each year for old age benefits they have fully paid for
 Chairman Atmeyer of the Social Security Board in Washington believes that ultimately the dsburse ments on old age insurance may amount to from 15 to 20 times the present annual disbursements. Con- sequently the amounts levied fall far short of the amounts needed to make the social security pro- gram self sustaining

HOROSCOPE E "The stdrs incline
 but do not compe"
FRIDAY. DECEMBER g

Adverse aspects rule today which is especially threatening to certain national aims in postwar planning. Men in high places may be criti- cized and misunderstood.
 HEART AND HOME: Memories of past festivities may be especially depressing under this configuration. It is day on which to seek rec reation. Music will be healing to many Wise forgetfulness will be found in intellectual pleasures.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: In the business world this will be dull day but fortunate for human rela- tions between employers and em- ployees The cause of the people, according to the seers, will gain constantly under the planetary in- fluences of the new order.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Pension schemes of many sorts will be widely advocated in the new year and will be enthusiastically dis cussed by wage earners. The stars presage practical protection under new laws that enforce systematic savings. Social Security in the U. S. will be greatly expanded in scope.
 INTERNATIONAL AFF A I R s: United Nations will celebrate de- cisive battle that will mark the holidays. It will have a greatly ac- celerating effect on the war in the Pacific. Japan continues under the most threatening aspects.
 Persons whose birthdate 1t is have the augury of year of some anxiety concerning possible finan- cial losses but coming months should be prosperous.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be exceedingly popular. They will be talented and energetic, successful and generous.
