Our Government Comes Back

American government begins at home,
and today il is in the process of being
inverted. Or. perhaps, we should say
reverted. for that is exactly what IS hap
pening. A top-heayy pyramid OF repre-
sentation is being turned around and
restored 10 its original American con-
Cept.
At least this is one Of the encouraging
trends noted at Washington these days
where government no longer seems to
be the single voice of emergency prerog-
ative. Instead. there is a sense of broad
oning out again and recognition of other
prerogatives which are the voice and
conscience of the people.
For instance, we hear again these days
something like a neighbOrly come in
around the White House.
President Truman expressed some
thing of this feeling when he invited la
Dor and management TO roll up their
sleeves and sit down and talk things out.
On the other hand he expressed some
thing even more important when he en-
Joined both parties TO do some thinking
and acting for themselves.
This was the reverting of the pyra-
mid. or the process of restoring preroga-
tive TO a representative people. In other
words. il was putting the broad side
where it belongs at the base and foun-
dation of the people, while at the top
is the single. representative individual
for administrative guidance.
Moreover. this was as it should be,
for war with its need for breadth of &C
ton at the top of the pyramid instead
of the bottom has gone; and, in its place.
we have "A challenge TO take hold again
and practice our prerOgative as a repre-
sentative people. We have more than
that. We nave an urgent need to take
back our own responsibility before in
fectiOus currents of totalitarianism in
the world turn the pyramid permanent
Is upside-down.
For the process of reverting govern
ment isn't just something that happens.
1t entails an individual and a popular
responsibility. Ii means bringing gov
ernment back home and placing it on the
broad foundation ''of the people by
the people . and for the people" Ii
means taking your place in the voice and
conscience of the people and doing some
thinking and acting for yourself. 1t
means being American instead of robot
echo and response TO the voice of bid
ding at the top.

Peacetime Patriots

Patriotism runs high during a war,
when people is drawn together by the
necessity of meeting a common foe. Then
self-interest and prejudices are likely
to be at their lowest ebb. Then the posi-
tive characteristics of country stand
out in the minds of its citizens, who
search for the answer to What are
We fighting for?"
Despite pessimistic reports to the con-
trary, most servicemen knew why they
had taken up arms. In the strain of
war, the people on the home front, too,
found an answer.
But with the peace signed, somes the
real test. When the emotionalism Of
war is done, and Americans begin pick
ing up the threads of their old existence,
will they forget those things they learn
ed during the struggle? Will they find
now only their eountry's negative char
acterstics. Will they feel their pa
trietic contributions i'll spent in the face
of resurging self-interest and prejudice?

Dressing for Visitors

As soon as tires are back in abundance
and new cars become increasingly avail
able, we can expect the biggest country
wide tourists expedition in our nations
history.
Not only are most people itching to
take a good long trip as release from
the war curbs on driving, but millions
are eager to drive to former home towns
and the homes of friends and relatives
which they were unable to visit during
wartime.
Next summer the roads of our nation
will be overflowing. Every town will
be on exhibition. Thousands of people
who have never been in our state before
will undoubtedly pass through it and
pass judgment on it.
We like TO have or. state well thought
of by the people in the other AZ states.
But. since many of the tourists will mere
~ see it from the highways, it would
seem wise for US TO begin now to look
over those highways with an eye toward
making them as attractive as we can.

The year 1908 was great one in
the history of aviation. 1t saw
Glenn Curtiss invent and fly the
worlds first airplane. Wilbur Wright
went to Europe and piloted much
improved biplane before crowds In
France. In this plane he was able
to take along q passenger. and in
one flight the passenger was a
woman, Mrs. H. o. Berg.
Before the Wright plane was
flown above France several French
men had made flights there. One
of these was Henry Farman. On
october 80, 1908, he made a cross
country distance record by flying II
miles, from a place called Buoy to
the city of Rheims,
Farman Rose $50 Feet.
In those days aviators kept their
machines close to the ground. In a
round and round flight Wilbur
Wright kept his plane in the air for
an hour and Is minutes, but his
average height above the ground
was only about rs feet. Farman
was proud when he was able to fly
$50 feet above the ground.
In telling about his cross country
flight, Farman reported: First oil

of this aerial voyage really i'm
pressed me-but off I went. Soon j

He has been interested in aStron-

cial way. At present he is building
a telescope for himself that is de-
signed for use in the study of the

nifylng properties of telescopes are
not necessarily their most important
feature. but that the amount of light
they can collect is also of the utmost
interest. The telescope which he is
building will have a 4-inch lens,
which is very large for the size of
the telescope.
This telescope would cost fam
tastic amount of money if it could
be bought, but Leo hunted around
and found a secondhand lens for
which he paid only SIS. He esti-
mated that it would have cost at
least $50 new.
Next. he bought some tubing,
which cost only $3.50, then the eye
piece, which was 81.

Leo has taken photographs of an

However, as interpretations of
The Passion of Christ" these paint
ings will doubtless be completely
outside the emotional experience of
most observers. This is not to i'm
ply any lack of sincerity or rever-
ence in the artist. But these alb

clashing colors, seemed to the re-
viewer completely alien to the Bib

find 1t impossible to think of Christ
as a geometric abstraction.
Possibly Mr., Bearden does not
intend that we should. Perhaps
he has other objectives in painting
these gouaches. But lacking any
explanation of his aims, we must
