Charter Ratified

Inc ratlucdClOn OF the united
Nations Charter by the Senate
starts this country along the only
road to an international society in
which men may nope for the privi-
lege OF working out their destinies
by peaceful measures. 1t would be
rash to suppose that approval Of
the Charter does more than this, for
the Charter, even when fully imple-
mented, will not be an end in itself,
but only a means to an end. Never
theless, 1t is an indispensable means,
a tool without which there could be
no hope Of fashioning society in
which men can live and grow to-
gether, and find solutions for their
problems through other instruments
than war.
It is good to know that the United
States has played leading and
constructive part in this, great un-
dertaking. Three decades ago, when
Woodrow Wilson proposed league
to enforce peace, we were too much
preoccupied with our own affairs,
too much imbued with the notion of
our own self-sufflciency, and too
ignorant Of the real forces which
make for peace or war to heed his
words. But since that time, as James
B. Reston points out in dispatch
to the New York Times, some 40
100000 people, armed and unarmed,
have been killed in two great wars.
No rational person can ignore or
misread the implications of this
tragic lesson, and so it is that we
find this country taking the lead
and becoming the first of the major
powers to say that it will join in
common effort to outlaw war as an
instrument of national policy and
to improve the lot of men and
women throughout the world.
AS one looks back over the steps
leading up to this commitment, 1t
is entirely evident that the rnen
who have acted for this country
have discharged their responsibilities
with great ability. 1t is from them
that the initiative and the drive
in behalf of the Charter has come,
and it is to their skill and patience
in negotiation that the final sue
cess is due. The list is too long for
enumeration, but conspicuous on it
are the names of the late President
Roosevelt, Secretaries Hull and Stet-
tinius in the State Department,
Senators Connally and Vandenberg
in the Senate, and that indefatigable
crew of volunteers who have sold"
the doctrine of international CO.
operation to the American people.
When the Charter came before
the Senate for final action there
were eighty-nine votes for it and
only two against. And that virtual
unanimity of sentiment was the
more impressive because the vote
came after President Truman had
served notice that the details OF
implementing the Charter, particu-
larly with regard to the ALLEGATION
of armed forces to the Security
Council, would be handled through
simple legislation requiring only a
majority vote of the two houses, and
not through treaties which might
be defeated by the votes OF one
third plus one of the members OF
the Senate.
This is a plain indication, and it
stands as notice to the world, that
the United States does not intend
to default on the obligations it has
assumed. Having subscribed to this
Charter, we propose to live up to
the responsibilities which it imposes
on us. If our associates in this un-
detaking do likewise, the peace of
the world can be maintained.

Different This Time
n the st. Louis Post -Dispa tch

From the st. Louis Post Dispatch.
Disunity among the Allies was one
reason for the failure after World War
I. Another reason was public apathy
inability to understand the conse-
quences Of letting the criminals escape
to plot a new war. :
This time, there are good signs that
the United Nations will maintain their
accord. And the public is showing a
keener awareness than ever before Of
the necessity for doing justice and de-
terring future warmakers by the prompt
trial and drastic punishment Of the
guilty.

This and That
BIZ Charles Z. TrdceDeH.
CASANOVA, Va.

Dear Sir:
Having enjoyed your interesting COL
umn for years, it gives me great deal
of pleasure to be able to tell you OF one
of my observations.
about three weeks ago baby bird
fell from a grass-green nest tpouch)
high up in a Polanda tree.
"The breast was yellow. back olive
green, head and neck a dark gray. I
saw a frantic adult bird talking to 1t
from lower tree limb.
"She looked like female goldfinch,
but longer, about 6 inches. On close
inspection she and the baby were the
same coloring.
II was able to get quite close to her
Gas put the baby in the crotch Of the
tree) several times in the next three
days, where she fed him until he was
able to fly.
Il watched her from a window, and
her talk was unmistakably oriole.
Then I watched and saw the male
about the tree He was reddish-chest-
nut and black, looked a great deal like
our Baltimore oriole but seemed more
chubby and not quite as large.
Nor was his orange quite as bril-
Il believe they were pair OF orchard
orioles and that your correspondent from
Remington, Va. Go miles away saw
the female of the species.
For your DR.. A: have the nest
about 10 feet from bedroom window,
woven of very green grass, but quite
high up in the tree and visible only
when the wind blows just right.
I,oy,a fbic uyi1l he1Y, in tho identitV
of the Remington bird.
And best wishes to you, whom I feel
that I know, through your birds and
Mr. Templeton Jones.
VERY sincerely, W.. T."
GARRISON STREET.
Dear Sir:
I'm a recent edition of The Star,
your Remington, Va, correspondent de-
scribed bird which you say could be a
Connecticut warbler.
"The last of June my husband and
spent week in the pine woods near
Pohick, Va.
I'VE repeatedly heard song like the
one you described, Freecher. here etc.
I'VE never located the bird, but there
Is a bird commonly seen in the pine
trees that has an olive-green back and
greenish-yellow breast.
1T seems to be a warbler but could
be one of half dozen birds, accord
ing to our bird book.
1--WE have enjoyed your column for
years. and regret that I have. never
written before to say So
Very sincerely, S.F.W."
The orchard oriole is tolerably COM
mon summer resident in the Washing
ton area.
A sign of 1t is the green grass nest.
This fine bird makes no use of twine.
as does the Baltimore oriole, in con-
structing its nest.
1t uses exclusively green grass blades
and stalks. These it weaves tightly into
shallow pouch, regarded by experts
as beautiful in color, proportions and
finish.
One observer, after careful examina-
ton Of an orchard orioles nest, found
a grass strand 13 inches long which
had been woven through the nest in "a
different places.
When the green grasses of this nest
dry they become yellow, of course, and
therefore conspicuous.
Most birds manage this better by Sc
lecting dried grasses and stalks In the
first place.

An occasion which will be long
remembered by members of the
MarysVille high school junior and
senior classes was the annual re-
ception for the graduates-to-be,
held in the Senior high building,
Friday night.
All featureS-the dinner, the
decorations, the entertainment and
the dancing-blended together to
make it one of the most success
full social affairs ever presented in
the school. Approximately $50
members of the two classes, and
their teachers, attended.
Decorations, perhaps the most
striking and original ever carried
out in connection with a school
function, were the source of much
delight to those who attended and
drew lavish compliments for their
planners. They were planned and
executed by the members of the
junior class, under the guidance of
Cecil Riser, science teacher.

Columbus Citizen Staff Writer

"And there he was, that man
eating tiger-Walking directly to-
ward me along a game trail that
had been worn through the tumble
of vegetation.
'The trail, more like tunnel,
made it a trifle difficult to train
my gun-sights on the spot just be-
hind his shoulder. Moments passed
that seemed like hours. That tiger
was now within 20 yards of me,
still walking with his heavy head
dropped a bit below his shoulders.
He was truly the master of the
surrounding area, afraid of nothing
and probably just a shade put out
that his privacy had been invaded" !"
And then 1t. John Robert West,
whose wife lives n Columbus, let
him have it!
Shot Tiger Twice
The man-eater got it twice in
the same place. He stopped dead
for just the fraction of a second.
Then he let out a deep roar as he
reared and started on a course at
right angles. He still hadn't spotted
me. Shifting my gun, | followed
him with three more shots as he
vanished in the brush.
A few minutes later, the native
Indian spoilers and bearers found
Mr.. Tiger and he was deader than
a door nail. But just to make sure
he wasn't taking, two of the ele-
plants they were riding gave him
some terrible whacks with their
trunks.
After that there was little to do
but pose for the necessary photo
graphs to convince the folks back
home; then truck the tiger back to
Army camp, and later have him
skinned so that the future progeny
of 1t. and Mrs. West, if any, in O.
hio will take dads word for every
thing that happened the day he
killed the tiger in India.
But, killing a tiger is no every
day chore, so there are certain
background facts that should be
brought out.

The Here's Your Infantry unit
which will come to Marysvillc is
one of more than a score Of such
groups which will present their
mock battle in approximately 600
towns and cities to boost the 7th
War Loan Drive.
All Have Seen Combat
Doughboys just back from the
Philippines, Germany, France, TIA
Iy and everywhere that Infantry
men fight this nations battles re-
create their experiences and dem
onstrate their weapons on a ma
tion-wide tour beginning May IA.
Representing every war theater,
veterans of ground action from the
invasion of Africa to the battles at
the front doors of Japan, these In
fantrymen bring to the American
public the real story of Doughboy
courage and how that fighting spir-
it is backed up with the best wea-
pons in the World-paid for by War
Bond dollars.
At times noisy with the sudden
angry outburst of deadly battle, at
times quiet with the ominouS ST.
lence of impending death, Here's
Your Infantry has the most pro-
found psychological effect on its
audience. The sudden realization
that these men crawling on their
bellies to attack a Jap billboX are
| the hometown brothers, fathers
and friends they knew as civilians
strikes the audience more forcibly
than anything except an actual
view of battle could do. They sud-
denly come to know that this is
their war along with the men they
see fighting it.
Program In Three Parts
And that knowledge sells bonds!
The program is in three main
parts. The first consists of exhibits
of Infantry weapons, equipment
and ratiOns. Infantrymen who have
used the weapons and equipment in
battle and have lived for days on
the TatiOns are in charge
They assemble and disassemble
the weapons, answer questions, tell
how their weapons saved their
lives or lives of their comrades in
battle and explain how the individ-
ual weapons are used in Infantry
action. Weapons on display will in
clude Garand rifles, the 57-mm an

Cbazookas), Brewing Automatic
rifles, submachine guns, pistols
