Shortage of Coal Is Held Exaggerated

While administration officials were raising a scare about coal shortages and ordering reductions in consumption, a United Mine Workers spokesman this week de- clared there's no ground for hys. teria."
 There's no overall scarcity of coal" he said. Our reserves are adequate and our members stand ready to produce all that's needed.
 Shortages impend only in certain types of coal, and we can easily lick those. For example, supplies of coal for steel mills are running low.
 "To take care of that situation, our people in the mines of South- ern West Virginia, Eastern Ken. lucky and Tennessee have agreed to do extra work on two Sundays January 28 and February 11-to build up stocks. We will do it in any other instances of emergencies that may arise"

What do you think Of student
recreation center? We are Of the
opinion that this would be one of
the most successful achievements
toward removing child delinquency,
if it is taken charge of by re-
sponsible person and full coopera-
ton from the students.
A recreation center would give
to the students a place to enjoy
themselves and it would tend to
keep them off the streets. The cen
ter could contain skating rink,
both roller and ice skating. Not
only the students, but the adults
also could mutually enjoy this rec
.reation in the future years.
Some people just say, "Oh they
have too much recreation as it is,
but the majority of those people
are not interested enough in the
students to know how wrong that
statement is, or to realize what a
recreation center would mean to
the young people.
SO what do you say, students?
Let's have full cooperation and
prove that we're worthy OF a Stu
dent Recreation Center.

r. O. T. c. In High Schools?
IT,, NH.rs1.,~, ka.1a
BY Marllyn NeilS

y
1t is often discussed whether we
should extend our military program
after this war so that all boys
should have at least one year of
military training. 1t has become
generally accepted throughout the
United States that we must be we'll
prepared for future wars and one
way to insure this would be to
give American boys military train
ing.
We agree that the boys should be
trained Yet, we feel that program
could be worked out to give our
young men this training in the
high schools, Many colleges and
universities required ROTC training
for men before this war, but that
of course only affected a small per
cent of the boys in the United
States. We feel that a program
should be required in which stu
dents received actual military train
ing in different fields, not just close
order drill and a few exercises, but
real practical training. If this ROTC
program were carried on in high
school it would prevent the disrup-
ton of studies and work to take a
year of military training outside
of school and yet it would prepare
us for future wars.
We are the young Americans who
will be affected by the adoption Or
nonadoption of such program, SO
let's voice our opinions on the value
Of required military training.
