City Airport
HdsLinnitdtion

The city airport can be ex-
panded into a splendid secondary
port with an expenditure of SIS
600, 900, but distractions within a
three-mile radius preclude its de-
velopment as a major field. Public
Works Commissioner Glenn c.
Richards reported today after a
study requested by the common
council.
Richards said the best that
could be done with the present
site would result in a Class 4
airport. In his opinion, he added.
this would provide for immediate
needs but would not long suffice.
He submitted one plan for a
mile-Square airport on the present
site, using the same layout pro-
posed for development of the
Dequindre site on the east side
The Dequindre site was counted
out OF the running by experts who
surveyed Detroit's air travel
needs.
Councilman Van Antwerp pro-
posed Richards new study of the
possibilities of the present site
when common council split A

cepting a gift Of 704 acres for the
so-called northwestern airport
site from the Metropolitan Detroit

TAXES AND WAGES

Business recovery after the war de-
ponds upon a revision or reconstruc-
ton of the postwar tax system, ac-
cording to The Tax Review
One group of planners agree that
private venture capital will be avail
able to most new enterprises and to
reconstruct old enterprises, if in the
end the investors will have chance
to receive profits.
The wage question is put in new
light by a recent Gallup Poll which
reports seventy-one per cent of the
people expect there will be lower
wages, and 5 per cent more wages
20 per cent answered about the
same"
The guessing contests run high,
You can prove this for yourself by
studying Government reports thai
show TIE enormous cost increases OF
the wars. Very plainly that calls Tor
more taxes.

WAR TEACHES FIRE
PREVENTION

Fire protection in the war effort
has not been restricted to the work
at established posts, camps, and sta
tions," says w. E. Mallelieu, of the
National Board of Fire Underwriters
Fire fighting has, and is continuing
to play an important role in the tie
atre of operations. The urgent need
for trained fire fighters overseas was
recognized early. In response, for ex-
ample, the Army engineers establish
ed a school in this country to train
men in fire fighting, and in the
use of fire fighting equipment. Since
the invasion of Africa, more than
COCO men have undergone this spe-
tialized training.
Few persons in our sheltered
home life in the United States realize
all hat has been accomplished in tn $
connection. The record of low fra
loss in the theatre of operations is
one which has already proved the val

A JOB WELL DONE

We have supplied gasoline, fuel
oil, lubricants, and hundreds of 9TH
er petroleum products to our fighting
men and our allies throughout the
world in quantities beyond compre-
hension. Ike Office of War Informal
ton estimated recently that it re-
quires 6,4SO,800 gallons of petrole-
UNI products for an initial invasion of
100000 men in given area, and 32,-
$4,000 gallons to maintain this
force for 80 days. This gives an idea
of the tremendous job the American
petroleum industry is doing in seeing
that our armed forces never lack oil.
How it has supplied our military
demands and kept the wheels turning
at home, is story of accomplishment
almost without parallel. While meet
ing the demands of war, the industry
is not failing to think in terms of
peace, and its obligation to maintain
amending reserves for the greatest
nation in the world.
We are just discovering, as it were,
the vast potentials of our great ma
tural resource, oil, that has trans
formed our way of living-discover

SUNDAY SCHOOL ENROLMENT

An old-fashioned national Sunday
school convention has been scheduled
1T the Stevens Hotel in Chicago for
April 30th and May LIST, in order to
.ope with the alarming drop of 1875
per cent in church school enrolment
Turing the last quarter century. Sew
,ral sponsors include individuals and
such agencies as the Greater Chicago
Sunday School Association, the Evan
gelical Teacher Training Association,
.he National Association of Evangel-
Gals and others. 1t is pointed out by
.hese sponsors that of late years the
Sunday school conventions have be-
come "coldly intellectual and profess
sional gatherings in which the laity
are noticeably absent" Some groups
have shown increase in Sunday school
enrolment, but most of the leading
denominations except the Lutheran
Church have shown loss.
1t was noted recently that the Ma
TONS Capital, Washington, D. c., re-
cords only 10 per cent of the popula-
ton attending Sunday School and
that, at the rate of decline represent
ed in this figure, the Sunday schools
will cease to exist within thirty
wears.

TOO MANY PEOPLE IN
WASHINGTON

Congress is supporting charges
that there is an unreasonable surplus
of Federal employees in Washington.
Senator Byrd of Virginia, has repeat
ed time and again on the floor that
there should be an immediate reduc-
ton of 100000 to 100000 employees
which he says could be made without
impairing the efficiency of tie Gov
eminent. He is being supported by
Democrat and Republican colleagues
who insist that the time has come
when it is imperative to reduce this
wasteful condition.
The Government has nearly three
million full time civilian employees
in this country-four hundred thou
sand more outside the Continental
United States. The inications art
that one or two million of these Fed
eral Workers will be dropped after
the war. The Federal population in
Washington has doubled. And if Con-
gress has it's way, something is going
to be done about it.

THE CONSTITUTION

No matter what may happen to the
Atlantic Charter, the Dumbarton
oaks Conference, or the meeting o.
the "big three" thank heavens the
Constitution of the United States
still stands as our original guide post
to our nation. 1t has been plastered
with mud, shot at by brain trusters,
and in instances has been superseded
by bureaucratic and executive orders,
but like a great tree, the branches
still cover the 48 states with the
roots firmly imbedded in tie minds
and the traditions of the creates,
nation on earth.
The Constitution still divides the
government in three separate and ye,
interlocking divisions-the Congress,
or the voice Of the people; tn eExecu-
tive whose duty is to see that the
laws of Congress are properly and
impartially executed; the Supreme
Court, that is to rightly judge tina,
the Congress does not overstep its
limitations.
The Constitution of the United
States, the greatest human document
we proclaimed-bulit to defend and
protect the rights of the people, and
the greatest obstacle to the insane
ideas of tyrants or the whims OF
those in power.
So, no matter what happens in
1916 or in 1948, let US stick to the
Constitution, believing in it's justice
and integrity, and defying any and
all who would attempt to emasculate
that document that gives us the righl
to life, liberty, and the pursuit OF
happiness. e. M. Ohmstead, in the
