for the baccalaureate sermon which
he preached Sunday night in the
high school auditorium.
Speaking on the subject of the
temptations of Commencement -
the Rev. Mr.. Carter went on to say
IF these graduating classes are
to make their contribution to the
needs of the world into which they
are being graduated, they must
withstand three temptations that
come TO anyone graduating into
days like these
TEMPTATIONS
Using the experiences of the
temptations of Jesus as n parallel.
the Rev. Mr. Carter listed the fol-
lowing temptations that will face
graduates on the commencement of
their work in life.
The first he defined as the temp
tation TO turn the stones of life
into bread, to use natural sesources
to satisfy phys .oal appetities, to
spend ones time in making a liv-
ing rather than life, to work for
money alone.
The second he declared tC be a
temptation to power, a temptation
to which Adolf Hitler had sue
cumbed, the temptation TO reach
the top of the pile and to have
power over ones fellowman.
The third temptation is that to
fame, to work for show, for ap-
plause," Illustrated by a cosmetic
interest rather than a cosmic in
terest in the great realities of life
PROFESSIONAL
The program opened with the
professional of the graduates to the
music of Handels Largo" played
by the school orchestra after which
the entire audience joined in the
singing of the national anthem.
Other musical numbers included a
beautiful piano sclo by Winifred
Anderson, the Chopin "Etude in G.
Minor" a splendid number by the
glee club, I'VE Pray for Peace" a
second orchestra number The Holy
City and fine solo by Tom Nc
Christy. the lovely Schubert Ave
Maria"
Tie Rev. Mr.. r. c. Rogers of the
Church of the Nazarene delivered
the invocation: the Rev. Mr.. Dwight
Ball, Presbyterian, the Scripture
reading, and the Rev. Mr.. Hayden
S. Sears, Methodist church, the
benediction.

Nazi Secret Weapon
Liquid Air Bomb,
Swedish Paper Says
By the AssociatedPress.


STOCKHOLM, Jan. 1.-THE
secret weapon about which German
propagandists have been boasting
recently was described by the Swed-
ish press today as a liquid air"
rocket bomb Of great destructive
power which can be employed
against targets 10 miles away.
The Swedish paper Stockholms
Tidningen said neutral military ex-
perts had received information that
the new weapon was being readied
for final tests and that it probably
would be tried out on the Russian
front before being used against
Great Britain.
The paper said 1t was understood
that the bomb was propelled to q
height of more than 80 miles by
rocket power-although some ex-
perts were represented as skeptical
on this score-and then was de-
signed to glide to its ultimate target.
Preliminary tests were reported
to have been made in Austria and
an eyewitness of the explosive effects
Of the bomb was quoted as saying:
"It was as If bushes, trees and
everything had been smashed to
atoms by the blast. A strange look
ing orange and blue flame hangs in
the air for minutes afterward."
The rocket bomb was said to have
three chambers-one loaded with
1000 pounds of liquid air." the sec
ond with 500 to TOO pounds of ex-
plosives to drive the rocket and the
third with quicksilver decorating

THREATS TO SOCIAL SECURITY

Labor must defend it's right to un-
employment insurance. This hard
won right can easily be nullified by
an anti-labor administration of our
unemployment insurance syst m S.
Unemployment levels may reach ten
to twenty millions. we must be pre-
pared for heavy unemployment when
it comes, by maintaining administra-
tive procedures which are fair to
labor.
1t is true, of course, that the unem-
ployment insurance provisions as they
now stand are inadequate in many
ways to meet serious postwar unem-
ployment. Many domestic civil serv-
ice and war workers are left unpro-
tected by the present laws. 1t is pos
sible also that even with the heavy
taxes paid into the funds from high
war wages the drain upon these funds
in a period of heavy unemployment
would make them insolvent. In many
states the benefit rates are far too
low to allow decent support for a man
and his dependents while unemployed.
In spite of these serious weaknesses,
the greatest threat to unemployment
insurance comes not from the made
quacies of the statutes, but from the
growing unfairness with which they

Let Us Suv
THANK YOU"
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Most Of us were brought up ir
homes where the fine old custom OF
saying Grace prevailed and we learn
ed to daily express our gratitude to
the Giver of all Gifts. ain our home
we say Grace" meant something very
real and fine.
Saying Grace is custom that
should be part Of our lives today, for
we have much for what to be thank
full. Although the road is rough and
the toll greater than we can yet con-
ceive, we know now that victory lies
ahead.
What are we thankful for this
Thanksgiving Day?
We are thankful that we have
learned much in the years since war
came upon us. We have lost much,
but we have learned what things are
essential and what we can do without.
External things can never again have
as vital meaning to US.
We are thankful that we have in
the misery Of those days learned that
the ideals of which we boasted on
holidays and at campaign times are
living things for which we are will
ing to sacrifice.
We are thankful that we have
learned how to spend less time think
ing about what we want for our
selves, more time concentrating on
our duties to others and more time
enjoying those mercies we already
possess.
We are thankful that we have
learned to cooperate with our neigh
bors and how to put aside old differ
ences to work with our fellow men,
finding in the stress of emergency
that the divisions that divide US are
less important than the things that
we have in common and that unite US.
We are thankful that we have
learned the inner satisfaction in work
and sacrifice and in being on the side
Of justice and mercy.
We are thankful that we have
learned the privilege of living in the
greatest hour of history, that we can
in that hour be of service to our
brothers everywhere, whatever their
class, creed or color.
AS Chesterton so aptly said-"The
way to love anything is to realize
that it might be lost" We have learn
ed what we really love - for that
knowledge while there is yet time to
keep it, we are thankful.
