Liquor Dealers
In County
Now Number 411

Imperial county liquor dealers, All
in number, are now operating under
uniform closing hours, Viggo E.
Hansen, supervising liquor control
officer for Imperial county, said
Thursday.
Restrictions on the military mid
night closing order by General De-
Witt, three years ago were lifted
on June l, allowing bars to remain
open until 2 a. m. A majority of
the bars in Imperial county con-
tinued to close at midnight. But
the condition was spotty and some
keep their doors open to the limit.
Last Saturday, June 9, midnight
closing order passed by the state
legislature, was signed by Governor
Earl Warren. Now all bars in Cali
fcrnia must close at midnight.
Hansen listed the new opening
and closing hours as follows:
For off sale, such as products of
liquor stores, from 10 am to 8
p. M, except Saturday when they
may remain open until IL midnight.
For en- sale, (bars), from 8 a. m.
to IL midnight every day.
Hansen enumer Grated various
branches of the liquor industry in
Imperial county in numbers as !:
Off sale beer and wine SO; off sale
distilled spirits 49, On sale beer
and wine (bars) 88; on sale beer
only (bars) 95. On sale distilled
spirits (bars) So Public warehouse,

accompanied by an enlisted man,
advanced toward one of the build

enemy automatic weapons and, af-
ter throwing hand grenades into the
house, leaped through the window

{. 5. Meeting
Stresses
Lasting Peace

Lasting world peace has its roots
in the permanency of divine laws
and cannot be expected to rise from
the foundations of selfish desires
and aims, The Christian Science
Beard of Directors told the annual
meeting of The Mother Church, The
First Church of Christ, Scientist,
in Boston, recently.
Commencing the efforts of tie
California peace conference to evolve
a practical basis upon which ma
tions might outlaw war for all time,
the directors pointed out that these
efforts would be successful insofar as
they reflect the operation of Gods
government in human affairs.
NEW LEADER NAMED
Highlighting the meeting was the
election of Mrs. Myrtle Holm Smith
of Waban, Massachusetts,, as preSi-
dent of The Mother Church for the
ensuing year, succeeding Paul Stark
Seeley, and the reelection of Roy
Garrett Watson, treasurer, and
Mary G. Ewing, clerk
Christian Scientists heartily con-
cur in the purpose of peace confer
ence representatives in California
to find ways and means to prevent
war, the directors stated They
saw these efforts as making prac-
tical the Sermon on the Mount.
"The manifestation of Gods law
can never fail to quiet the turbu-
lent waters, but we must assidu-
ously strive to rule out of our
thoughts any qualities which would
work against, rather than for the
peace Of the individual, and there
fore of the world, In this way. the
directors indicated that world peace
stems from the individual over
coming of human faults.
DEEP CONCENTRATION
I'm order to keep ones spiritual
understanding clear there must be
deep conservation in thought and
deed to the government of divine
principle. There can be no lasting
peace where selfishness reigns
Therefore, it is by those who base
their thoughts upon Gods laws that
the present global problems can be
solved and lasting peace attained.
The directors stated that mem
bership in The Mother Church was
now four times greater than it was
35 years ago. There is a growing
awarenesS, they said, of the neeo
for unselfish service to God anc
His law Without frankness ano
honesty in the world, they added
I'VE have whirlpool in which there
is no steadiness and no rest"
is VITAL YEAR
The assurance of Ike defeat OF
goddess evil seeking world domina-
ton has made 1945 one of the most
outstanding in human history, the
retiring president said While a
great deal has been accomplished
he insisted, there was plenty still
to be done. He impressed upon his
audience, however, that the assured
way of accomplishment lies within
the leaven Of spiritual truth i'm
planted in human consciousness by
Christ Jesus nineteen centuries ago
Let us rise he said, "to the
opportunities before is. Let us bt
eager to help solve the political
racial, and economic problems con-
fronting the human race. Let us
not fear change, but confidently
expect change Let us resolve to
express more of the limitless range
of thought natural to man"

De Valera announces that Fire,

Rubbish! How could little Fire

if it we're disposed to do so?

joiced because we felt they were

a republic on a rather shaky found
alton more than 100 years ago.
We still like the idea.

FRENCH SOCIALISTS FOR UNITY BUT !.

French Socialists have emphaticaly rejected proposals for "or-
gan1c unity With the Communists. Unity of action on specific measures
remains possible, but, said Jules Moch, well known to Nation readers
who presented a motion o the subject to the party's National Con-
gress, organic unity" depends on the fulfnlment of three conditions
First, lie said, there must be frank statements of policy, Iumasked by
opportunlsm; second, respect for true democracy and Individual liberty
and msisence on equal rights for nations both large and small: third
exclusive devotion to the cause of labor, no ties with any foreign gov
eminent, and full liberty of criticism and judgment. Clearly, tie Com
munlsts cannot meet such terms SO long as they retain their monoIthic
party structure and accept their cues, even if they don't receive actual
inevitable, but in a country with the democratic traditions of France
that may be preferable to a situation in which the citizen is forced to
choose between a Communist dominated United Front and sheer re-
Anglo-American attempts to preserve the status quo in Western
Europe gave the Communists their best arguments. If the only alter-
native to Churchill was to be Stain, left wingers were likely to plump
for Stain. Labor}s triumph in Britain, however, has revived the spirits
OF the many Europeans who hope to combine socialism with political
freedom.

GIVE THE FILIPINOS
FREEDOM

July 4, 1916! On that day, Uncle
Sam has promised the 16, 200, 900
inhabitants of the Philippine Is
lands complete independence.
There is every reason in the world
why that privilege should be re-
deemed.
But in the Philippines and here
at home, are powerful interests
which argue that Philippine indie
pendents would be a mistake: that
economically and politically. the
islanders r not prepared for self
government.
That argument is just an excuse.
What's really back of it: These
selfish interests feel their invest
ments in the Philippines might not
be so profitable under native rul-
ers. They have entertained that
fear ever since it was first pro
posed we should relinquish u
control. Time and time again thew
have delayed independence. They
hope to do it again. Congress must
see to it that nothing like that
happens. - Labor.

"Snafu' is a derivative of the war that has been added to military
parlance by the war that has just ended. In polite language it means:
Situation Normal, All Fused Up!' 1t is a word that was used by
some administrators to express contempt for conflicting and senseless
orders and policies.
"Snafu' also is a good word to describe the contradictory state
ments issued by high government authorities about the present and
future economic situation.
For example, we are promised 100000 jobs and high living
standards. But in the face of that promise unemployment mounts and

Nope! There won't be jobs for al1-that is, real, honest-to goodness

reason that private capitalism simply can't do what is necessary to

We could end unemployment forever if we'd socialize u economic

THE WAGNER ACTS FIRST DECADE

Last week in July the National Labor Relations Act began its
second decade as the law of the land.
The Wagner Act a this law is popularity known, is now widely
accepted. in practice as having made a great contribution to social pro-
gresS in America. Still, efforts to repeal it or to emasculate it have not
ceased on the part of moss employers. Industry, on the whole, still re-
fuses to reconcile itself to the fact that collective bargaining is sane
toned and protected by law. 1t cannot forget that this sanction is con-
tanned in the Wagner Act.
The ten-year record of the NLRB is tremendously impressive
During Its first decade the NLRB has handled more than Z, 900 cases
and issued more than 1000 formal decisions. AS a result of Board
orders, more than 1000 company unions were disestabished. In more
than 5000 places of employment collective bargaining was inaugurated
Baslcaly, the business of the NLRB has been to see that EMPLOYERS
maintain strict neutrality toward the union activities of their emplov-
eeS, that employers do not refuse to embody the terms of agreement
with unions in written and signed contracts, and that workers pre-
ferences in representation r. determined through elections.
Within the past decade, organized labor has registered a growth
from 100000 members to 100000. 1t is difficult to estimate the
snare n wagner Act has had in this phenomenal upsurge. In the
world OF labor the Wagner Act is best known IS the workers Magma

OUR MINDS ARE NOT ADJUSTED
TOATOMIC ACE

atomic bomb attacks should we
again become embroiled in war.
This is fine and dandy, but
what good will it do us to protect
the fleet if the country can be
blown up? It's like a cave man
trying to protect his club.
If we are going to think like
cave men, we might as we'll stop
pretending and move so-called
civilization several miles under
ground. For that will be our only
protection.
There is only one alternative,
and that is to cooperate with our
allies in peace as we have in war.
But we are not ready to enter the
drawing room of plenty.
All our ideas have a dishevelled
quality. Uncombed and unkempt,
we are trying to avoid our date
with destiny.
During the war we used all our
resources, including our young
men, to help defeat the Axis. But
now we have served notice that
we aren't responsible if our allies
freeze or starVe.
We are going back to a catch-as-
catch-can business basis, which
means that we won't do anything
for the common welfare unless
there is a private profit in it for
somebody.
It's too bad that atomic energy
doesn't have an advertising spon-
sor. Too bad that the common well
fare is not a commodity that car
be packaged and sold across the
counter.

KeneshaW M. Lands III
in The Chicago Sun

The other day on the radio, l
heard Gabriel Heater discoursing
on the spiritual meaning of the
atomic bomb.
1t was an inspiring tribute to the
victory of our democratic way of
life, and at the climactic moment,
without losing a throb, Mr.. Heater
started praising the virtues of a
certain kind of hair tonic when ap-
piled to the scalp. /
Maybe this transition was not
as abrupt as it seemed. We need
some kind of tonic, not necessarily
the one Mr.. Heater had in mind,
to apply to u scalps.
We are having difficulty groom
ing IL minds to the social re-
quirements of an atomic age. Our
thinking is flaked with dandruff.
In the first place, the atom bomb
was not the product of rugged in
dlvldualism. 1t resulted from the
experiments of subsidized scien-
lists, who cooperated without re-
ference to nationality or private
patent rights.
1t was not sponsored by any adj
vertiser. It was a So billion gov
eminent project, carried on in
Gestapo-like secrecy without the
knowledge of a single congress
man.
1t was, if you please, the most
stupendous totalitarian experiment
of all time.
And yet, we are emphasizing
the secrecy. AS we go ioyously
back to free enterprise" we hope
to keep the atomic bomb secret
from governments that make to-
talitarianism their business.
l don't think we can compete
with Russia on this basis, especial
ly if the secret is placed in the
hands on an economy-minded Con
gres. Imagine men like Rankin
sitting on atomic energy!
That image doesn't give me a
feeling of security. Nor am l re-
assured by the new radar-controI-
led gun that the Navy has brought
out.
The gun is said to be capable of
bringing down any hostile plane
approaching within $4,000 feet of
a battleship, and Secretary For
eestal has told Congress that he
hopes it will protect the fleet from
