 Peace movements do not start with governments but with individ- ualS. William Penn went forth into hostile world, determined to seek peace and pursue it. As long as he governed that colony in this coun- try known as Pennsylvania, there was no trouble between the colon- ists and the Indians. Penn had learned the art of peace himself and he passed it on to others.
 The Bible tells us that when the era of world peace actually arrives, swords will be beaten into plow- shares and spears into pruning hooks. But we must begin all this in the individual heart. We must take the swords of ill will, preJu- dice, and greed, and the sharp spears of ma cious gossip, petty spite, and carping criticism, and beat these into plowshares and pruning hooks which can be used

THE YANKEE WAY

My wife and l. both thirty-four years of age, have two children ag-- ed three and seven. We both feel it is beyond our means to prop erly raise any additional children in fact it is doubtful if we will be able to provide the type of educa- ton for the two that we feel every American youth should have |. The constant fear of possible contributes to unhapineSS in our home. Would a sterilizing operation be the logical answer to our prob lems?
 (Signed --)
 It is as logical an answer for the family problem as is suicide for an individual problem.
 If statute law does not define such sterilization as felony 1t IS because America is already on the way to defeat in the next great war.
 By your yardstick or standard, young man, I should never have been born. I was No. in a family of four children, and how were my parents to provide the type of edu- cation for us children that they felt even poor children should have - on an income of $35 a month?
 One-child sterility may or may not be intentional-in some in- stances it is fate, in some it is the consequence of specific infection, and in some it is achieved at any hazard - to the wife. That's just Yankee chivalry.
 In the name of health and hap piness-and I do not profess to be an economic, moral or religious ad- wiser II say that no one who is not ready and fit for parenthood should be permitted to marry. If you ask me young people, l advise you NOT to marry if for any req son you intend lo postpone parent hood for a while. Period.
 Trouble with too many young men and women today is that they think they must have $50 pencils when a 5c pencil and $1 Ten would serve every purpose. They demand the services of specialists (obstetricians) when a general prac-. titioner would serve every purpoce. Then they have to have pediatri- clan tell 'em how to feed the baby at from $5 to $25 a visit when. 9 general practitioner would servt evrey purpose-except, perhaps, to impress the Joneses.
 hope the correspondent whc contemplates sterilization as the solution of the problem of educat- ing his children will tell us how he intends to provide for the edu- cation of his two children. Is he buying victory bonds for them? Is he buying endowment life insurance for them? Whatever plan he may be following. why shouldn't it work as well for three or four or five or six children as for one or two?

Selected Poem
SPIRIT OF '45

(By Myra P. Ellis in the Boston Post) Four marines and "Old Glory!" A picture, story For the pages of history; There where men were dying, They must keep it flying, The beautiful flag of the free. The Strainlng forms, The reaching arms, The young hands lifting high; It is a sight to make men weep That men like these must die. No sculptor they sat for, But the fingers of mad war Moulded each figure, each line; They planted America Upon rocky Two When they planted that starry design. Four marines and "Old Glory!" A picture, story To keep faith and freedom alive; O. may our hearts frame it And may our hearts name it The Spirit of '45!'
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-04-20

to approve the application of any
 foreign airline wanting to fly to
 the United States?
 Senator Josiah w. Bailey of Nortf Carolina, chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee and a dele. gate to the Chicago civil aeronautic! conference last fall, is of the opin. ion that the executive agreement: would destroy the jurisdiction of the CAB and give that jurisdiction tc the State Department.
 FEARS FOR U. s. AIR
 COMMERCE
 What particularly bothers Senator Bailey is the so-called fifth free dom the right to pick up traffic along the route in foreign state anc carry it to another foreign state Under this policy Senator Bailey be- lieves U. s. foreign air commerce might be shot all to pieces" so he considers it bad policy for the gov ernment to pursue But his objec- tion to this fifth freedom is also based on his opinion that under ex- isting U. s. law, the Civil Aeronau- tics Act of 1888, this government does not have the power to make any such agreements with foreign governments.
 Here the argument becomes some thing like that old Wheeze about which comes first, the chicken or the egg.
 The Civil Aeronautics Act of 1888, which set up the Civil AeronauticS Board as the governing body over U. S. civil aviation, has three sec tions which seems to bear on this issue:
 Section 4O2 says that the Civil Aeronautics Board shall examine foreign airlines for fitness as a car- rier in the U. s. public interest.
 Section BOP says that the Depart ment of State shall advise and con- suit with the Civil Aeronautics Board on any negotiations with a foreign airline for establishment ot a route to this country. Advise and consult" aren't defined, so there is no clear-cut responsibility.
 Section 1102 says that the Civil AeronauticS Board, in exercising it's powers, shall do so consistent with any obligation assumed by the Uni ted States in any treaty, conlvention or agreement.
 Apply those stipulations to the present mix-up and see where it leaves you:
 OBLIGATION IS OFFICIAL
 The White House and the De- partment of State have put into ef- feet an executive agreement grant, ing the airlines of any foreign gov- ernment which also approves this agreement, the right to operate in the United States. That is an obli- gation on the United States, and under section 11O2 the CAB can't do anything inconsistent with that ob- ligation.
 Under this interpretation CAB might be reduced to rubber stamping any civil aviation deals made by the State Department, the degree of whose consulting and ad- vising with CAB isn't prescribed.
 But section 402 says CAB shall examine all these foreign airlines in the public interest. And if estab- lishment of British airline to Aus tralia across the U. s. and by way of Hawaii were found to be against the public interest, CAB would be legally bound to repudiate the State Departments agreement. CAB would do this by recommending to the President that he deny the per- init to operate.
 The amazing thing about this whole mix-up is that Congress pass ed the law that way, so it is now fouled up on the horns of one of its own bull dilemmas.

one of the most difficult roles ever

Dorothy remains utterly silent, q

unable to speak throughout the

presented solely through silent emo

The setting is the lower floor OF
an overfurnished mansion on the

where Dorothy is employed as a
servant and Brent is the head OF
the house. Brent has stopped
Dorothy in the entrance hall.

HOLLYWOOD.

Just why Hollywood producers ap-
peared so unconcerned over the pos
sibihty of a complete strike shut
down is shown in the unprecedented
number of feature pictures now
awaiting release. Studios could
close down for the summer and still
be able to keep your favorite theater
going until the fall months.
Exclusive of westerns and re-
issues, studios have 201 pictures
ready or almost ready for showing
Republic, Warner Bros. and Uni
versal have the largest total on the
shelf, with 26 each, followed closely
by Paramount with 25 and MGM
with % Investment in these COM
pleted features is estimated to be
about S275, 900 900, which explains
why the local tycoons might not be
too sorry to see their plants locked
for a while.
This huge backlog is in strange
contrast to the daos not so long ago
when features were rushed out
overnight to meet release dates and
keep theaterS open. On many oc-
casions big features were given their
final editing and then flown to key
centers for openings on the follow
ing day.
But this seems to be day for
storage. Movies are often held
many months and, in several cases,
for years For instance there is
Arsenic and Old Lace" made three
years ago at Warmers. along with
Devotion" starring Olivia De Hav-
illand, and Rhapsody in Blue" last
two of which have been seen only by
the servicemen.
In addition to the 200 shelved fea-
