Youth Service Club
Proves Its Worth
Has Been In Operation Since
December 25

That the extensive use Of the Oak
land youth and service mems club
since it was opened December 25, 1913
had proved conclusively the need for
such place, was announced this week
by the committee in charge, through
Mason Glotfelty, chairman.
The club has had an attendance Of
from 20 to 60 young people each eve
ming with the exception of few eve
nings when the w,1t.star was not suit
able and othtf 1ocaf activities held the
spotlight.
The committee pointed out that the
club was being utilized mostly by
local young people since there were
fewer service men in transit than was
anticipated when the club was opened,
and that its members felt the club
was rendering a worthwhile service to
the community by having a decent
place for young people to congregate
under the guidance Of capable chap
oronc who is on duty at all times
while the club is open.
The club was originally sponsored
by all service, civic and business or
CARNATIONS of the town who have sup
piled hostcsscS. According to the COM
mittec, the supply of hostesses is run
ming short and upon a few occasions
the club was not open because some
hostess failed to appear for duty. The
committee was of the opinion that
those asked to serve should be re-
SponSlble for securing a substitute or
notifying Mrs. Walter Z. Dawson,
chairman of the operating committee,
in case it is impossible to serve at the
time scheduled. 1t was pointed out
that unless additional hostcsses volun-
tccrcd for service it might be neces-
sary to close the club which is open
every evening from 1880 to II o'clock,
with exception of Tuesdays and
Thursdays.
The committee added that since the
club opened the young people had CO.
operated splcndidly. that their be-
havior had been excellent, according
to reports from hostcsscs. Parents of
the community were invited to visit
the club frequently and offer suggcs-
tions for the hcttcrment of the or
ganization.

that the average yield on this

$50 million bushels, little less
than 100 million bushels from
last years production.
The outlook for this year,
therefore does not appear bril-
liant. to say the least. If our
American farmers do not raise
large crop or wheat this year, and
assuming that the production will
b e around a hundred million
bushels less than last year, it is
obvious that a problem is con.

Reserve Is Gone:
War Needs Cause

Stocks of wheat which were
held in the United States in sur
plus are gone-disappeared, i n
other words. We don't have q sur
plus stockpile any more.
Since wheat is regarded as one
of the more important of the
staple food crops raised, this re-
port from the Department of Ag-
riculture comes with an apparent
element of concern.
Any stocks of wheat which
may have been regarded as sur
plus" at the start of the war have
disappeared, is the way the aRri
cultural department puts it in
periodical report this week on
the wheat supply situation.
By the time that the month of
next July rolls around the ma
tons wheat reserve will have
dropped 100000, bushels. or
only one-half Of the amount o f
the reserve year earlier. 1t is
the statement Of food economists
that it is not safe to allow the
reserve to drop much below the
300, 100000 bushels in wartime.
Much Of the drain on wheat
stocks has resulted from its use
for food, for livestock feed and
from which to make alcohol, the
latter, in turn being used in the
production of many essential war
materials. including synthetic
rubber. smokeless powder a d
shatterproof glass.

was around 1886 million bushels,

PROTESTING BOMBING

War is such a horrible business
that the human mind tries to
carry it on without thinking.
But humanity and honesty re-
quire a constant facing of wars
terrible choices. From t h t
standpoint the protests in Brit
ain and America against "oblit.
Grafton bombing" of German
cities can have useful place.
1t may be well to ask Christian
people to acquaint themselves
with the realities of what is be-
ing done in our name in Europe.
so that we shall not be respon-
sible for casual cruelty to the en-
envy or unnecessary sacrifices Of
our own forces. For Christians
it is not enough to say that the
Germans started the bombing of
cities.
No one wants to carry on the
slaughter an unnecessary min
ute. Many of US believe that
Unconditional surrender" should
be translated into firm and clear,
but more persuasive. peace terms.
Yet we want no peace, peace,
where there is no peace" and we
believe that until the failure of
aggression be acknowledged.
stopping the war would be to in.
vite new and greater wars.
The object of questioning the
bombing should not be to stop
the war but to gain victory
over evil. Protests cannot even
assume that bombing will not
end the war more quickly. 1t
has been said that there is a
case for pasifsm. but there can
not be a case for ineffective
war; Many people will not
wholly accept that statement;
they will still reject some effect
i've forms of war. But it prob
ably brings out the basis Of the
present protests. They come in
the main from pacifists.
To US such a position appears
reasonable only for those who
have really thought it through
and are willing to accept its con-
sequences. And those can reas-
onably be asked to start right at
home-by dealing with the out
lawry that faces them where
they are. Even when one has
proved that he can protect him.
self with weapons of warfare
that are not carnal. he has a
great responsibility in asking
his neighbors who have not to
do without police forces and fire

as effective as possible, spurred
by its horrors to end it. but end
