al CLUBS CHOOSE MAY 8 FOR
THEIR RURAL LIFE SUNDAY

All Clubs throughout the country
are observing their All Club Sunday
this year on May 6, the day set
aside by the National Council of
Church es as Rural Life Sunday. That
was the news from Miss Dorothy EN-
erson, girls club agent, and Mylo s.
Downey, state boys club agent, both
at the University of Maryland.
Many Maryland All Clubs are ex-
pected to participate this year, Miss
Emerson said. The members will at
tend church together or perhaps con-
duct sunrise or sunset services in
some scenic spot. They will decorate
the churches with plants and with
green and white flowers representing
he All Club colors. Tie boys and
girls will serve as ushers, give talks,
and contribute special musical num-
bers. In many cases they may take
over the conduct of the church SER
vices entirely for this one Sunday.
Their services will be planned to fit
N with this years theme, "1'he
Christ Way of Life
Rural Life Sunday was first obser-
yed in 1929. Its purpose, it Is stated,
s to magnify the relation of God
Ind man in food production, and to
pray Gods blessings upon the human
4ffol is to prepare for crop"
Although Tie fifth Sunday after
Easter is the day additionally select
I'd for Rural Life Sunday, it may
prove more satisfactory for the All
clubs of some communities to hold
heir services on some other Sunday
II May or June, where there is TIE
east conflict with other events. In

The war has brought tremendous
increase throughout America in Bible
reading and in efforts to understand
both the Old and New Testaments.
according to many observers. Dr..
George S. Reamey, editor of the
Virginia Methodist Advocate Rich
mond, Va, proved at least that that
is true of Virginians when he urged
them to read the Bible daily during
Lent: he was deluged with requests
for lists of what chapters to read,
and with lists of people who were do
ing so. Now he is issuing suggestions
for daily reading throughout the
year. Never in my memory was
there a time when people were so re-
ceptive to guidance in Bible study as
today" he says.

THE NEW ADMINISTRATION
BY j. Il. Jones

Washington, d. c., May In
1894 the Vice President of the Uni
ted States explained his high position
as "a spare tire on the automobile
government" In 1915 another Vice
President was suddenly called to the
Presidency. II pray God l may mea-
sure up to the task" he murmared
The first VP was John N. Garner.
The other was Harry S. Truman, who
took the oath as President, and turn
ed up at the Capitol the next fore
noon and lunched with d number Of
Senators, and asked their advice.
President Truman gained and kept
the confidence and friendship of
most Senators. Henry Wallace did
not even attain the friendship of
many Senators. Senator Taft was one
of the new Presidents first callers.
For twelve years he had not gone to
the White House, although he had
spent much of his boyhood there
when his father was President. He
went back to the mansion the next
day to resume his friendly efforts to
insure close cooperation between the
Republican Senators and the Presi-
dent. That is important.
The American people with one &C
cord acclaimed the President and
wished and prayed for him-just as
as they always have responded when
new leader is called to serve. In re-
turn the new President met all expec-
tations of his countrymen.
In those first critical days practic-
ally the entire membership of the
Senate and the House voiced conf
dence in, and volunteered their sup
port to President Truman. This was
most significant, and raised genuine
high hopes in Washington, for many
reasons: first and secondly because
Truman lad served ten years in the
Senate and was not newcomer. The
Legislators knew he was with them
whereas Mr.. Roosevelt was too often
embroiled in controversies and dis
puEes with both branches OF Con-
gress.
The question; Will Truman lean to
the right or the left, is easy to an
swer. He will tip in the general di-
rection of the political party to which
he owes his prestige and lis position
To the Left!

WALLACE TAKES OVER FARM
MACHINERY

An important announcement made
a few days ago stated that the dis
posal of AFOREMENTIONED consum-
er goods including refrigerators
sewing machines, vacuum cleaners
and other household equipment had
been transferred from the Treasury
Department to the Commerce Depart
ment.
Included in this Government order
was transfer of authority to Secre-
tary Wallace of the Commerce De-
partment over the equipment and
construction of agricultural machin-
cry. While no emphasis was placed
on the transfer of authority from the
Treasury Department to the Com
merce Department, it is, neverthe-
less. very significant because it is to
De expected that Secretary Wallace
will cut some of the strings that
have been hampering and restricting
the production of farm machinery.
That has retarded farm progress
throughout the country, particularly
as there has been lack of manpow-
er on the farm.

SCHOOLS OF STATE NEED
ss,o7o, 900 FOR CONSTRUCTION

Maryland must spend an estimated
$8,07O,000 in immediate postwar
years for new school buildings and
for repairs to present structures to
adapt its school system to anticipat-
ed heavier enrollmenst and to educa-
tional changes, according to survey
just released by the American Asso-

This figure is conservative since no
complete estimate for Baltimore was
available at the time of the survey
The report bears out U. S. Bureau
of Census figures, which reveal that
wartime births in Maryland are run

Larger enrollments, as well as war
time developments, will greatly infiu-

dicted by Reginald E. Marsh, nation
ally known school architect and
member of the postwar planning
committee of the American Institute
of .rchitects, New York chapter.
such facilities as cafeterias and

says. Floors and wainscoting of tile

Marsh also foresees increased &C

Nursery schools will probably be

THE PROBLEM OF THE MINER

The coal shortage may run as high
as 5O,OOO,0OO tons. This, while small
in comparison to total output is cr1ti-
cal because coal is used in every
phase of war production.
The wartime steel industry alone
must have 1,743,000 tons of blum
inous coal every week. Thirty-two
thousand tons of coal go into the
making of every super-dreadnaught
SO tons into every medium tank, and
IS tons into every Atom Army truck.
High explosive chemicals are made in
whole or in part from coal. Coal is
also the base of IS percent OF all
war plastics. Hundreds of antiseptics,
insecticides and drugs-including the
life-saving sulfas, synthetic qulnine,
and aspirin-are made from coal. So
are chemicals for waterproofing, and
mildew-proofing clothes. So are tex
tiles, such as nylon for parachutes
and rot-proof mosquito netting.
The coal industry has had to pro-
duce the coal for this endless list OF
war goods without fail. Each year it
has succeeded in operating with
greater efficiency, to an extent that
more than Offset the steady drop in
manpower and depreciating equip
ment. And it has endeavored, to the
best of it's ability, to hold costs at
reasonable levels, thus assuring coal
an equal competitive opportunity to
secure share of postwar markets.
This latter problem few persons
give much thought to, outside OF the
coal business. 1t can mean the differ
ence between going industry and
stagnation. 1t can mean tie differ
ence between hundreds of thousands
of men having work, and not having
work. Once the war demand for coal
falls off, increased civilian consump-
ton must step in to fill the gap, and
the only thing that can persuade con
sumers to do that is a fair price. Up
to now management has worried,
pretty much alone about holding the
cost of producing coal to minimum
levels. But from now on, with wages
soaring, it also becomes the problem
OF the miner kimself-if he wishes
a steady job.

Blessing On Thee, Frisco

The San Francisco Conference is
in session, and the speculation over
the outcome is as confusing as how
to get around in the Pentagon build
ing on the edge of Washington, D. c.
Do not overlook the historical fact
that the Dumbarton Oaks Conference
was a triumphant sue ess. 1t
Strengthened out all the impossible
CD kinks, and produced a straight,
intelligent chart for the Conference
now convened on our Western coast.
Naturally, World War cannot be
settled by batch of resolutions in
favor of permanent peace. We tried
that prescription after World War L.
The present disagreements of opin-
ions among the leading Nations is
not at all strange-nobody could ex-
pect them to think, and act, alike.
But there is one big, common pur-
pose in which the United States,
Great Britain, Soviet Russia and all
the United Nations are in absolute
agreement, and that is TO END
WARS. They will fight it out at
Frisco"
In the calm, mature judgment of
the people wko know, in Washington,
the present Conference will follow,
approve, supplement, and clarity the
Dumbarton Oaks Chart for perma-
nent peace.

BUSINESSMEN AND EDUCATION

Some New York businessman and
leader recently said that he and
most other businessmen employers
do not object to taxes for educa-
tional purposes and even more taxes
for such purposes, provided they
could just get the benefits in more
alert, better-educated employees. But
he said, businessmen are not getting
a great percentage of returns on
their taxes in education. A good
businessman looks for good returns
on his money. He wants his tax mon
ely to give him just as good reouuns
as his invested money.
A southern college president re-
Gently addressed civic body on the

cation" and he pointed out that a

traced back to slump in education

business must see that schools en-
ploy those teachers with enough
sense not to teach 'isms'," he said.
Anent the stake of business in
education, the United States Cham
Der of Commerce has completed a re-
port delving into the subject of rela-
ton between economic status and ed
ucation levels of the people of this
country. Ralph Bradford, General
Manager of the Chamber in a preface
10 the report wrote as follows:
The need for much closer work
ing relationship between business
and educators in planning for the
public education of the future has
been clearly outlined by the Nation
al Chambers Committee on Educa-
lion. Obviously, businessmen have an
interest in public education-firsto of
all as TIE fathers of sons and daugh-
tiers who are to be educated, and sec
ond as heads of business enterprise
that has stake both coming and 60
ing. On the one hand, expenditures
for public education are a major item
in local and state tax bills; on the
other, business is largely dependent
upon the products of public educa-
ton for its operating personnel
One bar to intelligent cooperation
between educators and businessmen
has been a lack of understanding.
each of the needs of the other. There
has been too much disposition on tie
part OF the businessman to look upon
educators as impractical theorists
who do not know the value of dol
lar; and on the part of educators t.
regard businessmen as a bunch of
penny -pinching skinfints. The wa;
to clear up such MISUNDERSTANDING
as these, is to get together and talk
things over. :.
Our approach to the question of
education is not what is it costing us,
but is it doing the job? And what, in
the first place, is the job? This is the
challenge to all communities! Let
us find out what needs to be dome
and do it together"

GERMAN WAR CRIMINALS

German war criminals of World
War escaped practically unpunish-

ed that their nationals accused of
violating the laws and customs of
war be tried by German tribunals
and the Allies consented to this pro-
cedure. According to Encyclopedia
Britannica sixteen cases were actual
ly tried and only six convictions re-
suited. The sentences were generally
recognized as being insufficient.

are predicting new tax policies dur

and employ more workers. That
sounds pretty good. 1t may be true
