WRECK ASHORE

WRECK ASHORE
In days when pirates sailed the sea ~
Around this little isle,
And every man had master plans
To make his little pile,
1t was the customary thing
To own sailing craft
And when ship was wrecked offshore,
Sails upped from bow to aft.
race was On to reach the wreck,
For whose got there first
Was master of the cargo found,
Whether silks, for thirst.
When came the cry of Wreck Ashore
Above the northeast gale,
Off Duval Street, around the bend
Swept ships a-croWdlng SAIL
With thirty of these sailing ships,
1t was thrilling sight,
To those sails all billowng
In ranks of shining white
Before stiff northeastern wind,
They jlbed with all they had
Men. swore that sails enough were out
To sail to Trinidad.
Now, one among the owners brave
Was also preacher too;
His name was Brother Egan, sir,
w ho knew, Just what to do.
One Sunday morning he was preaching strong
His chosen Sunday text,
When suddenly his chosen words
Had everyone perpleXed.
$50 run that We Obtain he preached
Then saw ship distressed
And laundering yOnder reef,
That grew outside Key West.
The parson knew if he announced
The vessels dangerous plight,
Ills congregation would be first
He could not stop their flight.
So, preaching still, he strobe the aisle
Until he reached the door;
Then, turning, gave the well-known yell,
The warning, Wreck Ashore!'
t'Now, all Will sun race he said, -'y.."
- And leaped out through the door,. ~.
"The first there will get the prize, @"3<,$@f
And legged it for he shore.
His long black legs were working fast,
Black coat tails out behind;
He led the race, but happenings then
Were something undersigned.
Now, on the isle a buccaneer
Had left billygOat,
Whose viciousneSs and temper vile
Was something, now, to note.
The parson stopped, nor noted him,
AS, struggling with the rope,
He sought to loose the sailing craft
In eagerneSs and hope.
Straight at the coat tails dropping low,
Bill made pointed lurch;
And in a moment he had sailed
The parson back to church.
The parsons gone and Billy's gone.
The pirates come 10 more;
The sound of planes have replaced now

Intact near the center of the

SCIENCE KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES

In discussing the subject Of Public Health Work
ers,' Walter W.. R.. May, editor and publisher of the
Oregon City Enterprise, and president of the Clacka-
mas County, Oregon, Public Health Association,
makes some very interesting observations. He says:
ut is because scientific medicine is so far in ad-
vance of the application of it that our job as public
health workers is so important. If the public would
apply what the doctors know about diseases, the
drain upon human happiness would be still more re
duced. Ours is the task of bringing the world abreast
of what is available in medical and surgical science
and creating a desire to use tht knowledge.
Authorities agree that the reason in this coun-
try that our life expectancy has risen from 40 years
to 60 years, and may go to 65 or 70, while in a country
like India it has dropped from Is to p years, is be-
cause Of administrative health procedures. Science is
just as wise in PARKWAY India as in the United States,
for there re no boundaries to science. The public
health worker is the difference in a large measure.
Good community health programs are possible
without pointing our efforts to communism and a So
cialized state. Public health nursing is a prper adj
junct of private nursing without destroying the lat
ter. Good state health departments and a good United
States Public Health Service are possible without
destroying the individualistic professions that gave
these state services being.
eve can avoid the pitfalls of political public
health if we can be sound and right in our social
thinking. If we are not sound and right; if we do not
shape the progress of public health within the pattern
of free enterprise, we shall find, | fear, a great rift in
the unbroken confidence the public has in u.s."

IMPORTANT ISSUE INVOLVED

The attorneys general Of 46 states have asserted
that the claim of the Secretary of the Interior that
the Federal government owns the tide lands within
the historic three-mile limit on state shores, lis a d-
rect attack on state sovereignty"
The brief filed by the attorneys general states
that the Secretary of the Interior has announced that
'he intends to grant certain application for Federal
oil and gas leases on tide and submerged lands" and
that "the issuance Of such leases would, of course, be
an actual assertion Of title by an important depart
ment of the Federal government" The brief holds
that the lands beneath tide water and navigable wa
ter belong t othe states in their sovereign capacity as
states.
Legislation is now being considered by the House
Judiciary Committee that would release any claim of
the Federal government to such lands beneath tide
and n~avigable water which have heretofore been con-
sidered as belonging to the states.
The advocates of centralized government have
for the past decade been using every means at their
command to limit state jurisdiction over natural re-
sources and limit state control over local affairs in
many ways. AS the states are deprived of such rights
they become mere subservient agencies of the Federal
government.

POOR RECOMMENDATION

Reviewing the American economic policies in the
193Os, R. C. Leffingwell writes in the Yale Review:
Restrictions on the hours and days of labor, and on
output, and restrictions on farm production, were
part of a planned economy of permanent depression
and artificial shortages. We were producing more
food than world markets would take, and our gov
eminent paid marginal farmers to stay in the farm
business instead of turning to something else; and
paid them not to produce so much, pillow under crops
and kill little pigs. The business Of not raising ais gg hGgs
The planners seemed to have lost faith in America.
They sought to benefit organized labor and farmers
at the expense of the general public. They could not
see that neither farmers nor laborers could prosper
long in an impoverished community. They could not
believe in the economy of abundance and were con-
cerned more with changing each mans share of pow
erty than with sharing wealth"
Commenting on the foregoing, the New York
Times says, it us a harsh but basically true judgment
of our planned economy of the '3Os. Is there any rea-
son to suppose, political pressures being what they
aree, that a government planned economy in the post
war period would be any better? The history of plan
ming in the '3Os presents today one of the strongest
possible arguments for a genuinely free enterprise
system"

LABORITE BRITAIN

With Great Britain and all the
rest Of the world awaiting the
pattern of postwar life in the
United Kingdom, King George
vi presented the victorious La
Dor party's legislative program,
with naturalization of the Bank
Of England and the coal mines
heading the agenda.
At the same time, the king
revealed that the wars end
would not bring about a release
Of wartime restrictions, with the
Laborites seeking power during
the reconversion period to main
tain control over materials and
services to assure proper distri-
button at fair prices.
Besides Matchmaking the Bank
of England to promote employ
ment and development, and So
cializing the coal mines as part
of a program to i~ntegrate the
fuel and power industry. the La
borites propose to reorganize
transport; provide social secu-
rity and industrial insurance;
buy land for housing, and set
up machinery for planning in
vestments in new business.

may or may not have been aimed
at comments in Washington by anti
administration spokesman who
charged that the communique of the
Big Three seemed to reflect chiefly
Russian demands.
/ believe that history will show
that the Presidents claim will be
literally true. This may not mean
that America got the majority of
the things she wanted but rather
that what could be agreed upon was
largely the result of the Presidents
policy of insisting on a solution by
compromise rather than a stale
mate.
The great test Of Americas posi-
ton will come later. We are the
most conservative of the treat
powers. We are the only one in
which capitalism is threatened by
attack from within more than from
without. I mean that the ma
jority of the nation undoubtedly IA
o capitalism whereas the present
British government (the only other
large democratic power as we ac-
cept democracy is socialistic. Dan
gers to the American c~apitalistic sys-
tenn, most observers in Washington
agree, come from a small group
whose selfish interests are the
greatest threat to the system of
private enterprise.

WORLD RELIEF:
Needs Boosted u

With the termination of the war
in the Pacific expected to multiply
its problems, the United Nations Re-
lief and Rehabilitation Administra-
ton Director Herbert Lehman de-
clared that more than two billion
dollars in additional funds would be
needed to help stricken countries
before their restoration of stable
economies.
Speaking at the third information
al conference Of UNRRA at London,
Lehman revealed plans for coping
with the Asiatic relief problem, dis
closing that plans already have been
formulated for the shipment of sup
plies to China over the Stilwell road
and through coastal ports. Of the
100 million Chinese reported des-
titute, many are expected to sue
cumb even if relief should be Of
fered Immediately.
The London meeting was enliv-
ened by Australia's demand to
broaden the UNRRA control council
to nine members instead Of the pres
ent Big Four to provide smaller ma
tons with greater representation in
the ALLEGATION of funds.
