In addition to charming piece of

novelty of being No. l song on the

does wonders at enhancing the red

and Miss Bremer. If anything Mary
Astor looks too young and lovely to
be the mother of such large brood.

chi Thurman E. Laws, 25, King
man Army air field, Friday was

a love affair.

WORLD TASK FINISHED
IN NINE WEEKS

If proof were needed that the world is
becoming smaller and smaller geographic
ally and humanity speaking, the San
Francisco peace charter conference fills
that requirement. There task so mon
umental as almost to bar even undertak-
ing it, was completed in the compara-
tivalv brief space of nine weeks. Much
more time was required to formulate and
adopt our own constitution. True Phila-
delphia then was "long way from Bos-
TOM
But at San Francisco fifty nations
were represented and the delegates had
to travel thousands of miles, whereas,
the delegates to the constitutional con-
vention, at worst, had only few hum
dred miles to go.
At the UNCIO there were many diff
ferent languages spoken. Not only that,
but it was necessary for each world char
ter delegation to have a corps OF experts
on various phases of world governments.
At Philadelphia a few delegates, per-
haps. had their aides or personal SER
wants Because of certain institutional
beliefs. many of the delegations at
UNCIO had to have their own food pre-
pairing staffs.
Yet with all this, in nine weeks, IN
cluding the time necessary for domiclllng
and setting up all the working stairs,
these delegates presented to the world
document that ranks with and as even
greater than our constitution, the Magma
Charta or any other historic document
Incidentally, state and national legls-
lative bodies in this country, and con-
qress, as well as foreign lawmaking
groups we'll might take lessons from the
San Francisco meeting in the way OF cor
recting dilatory methods.
Much besides writing world peace
charter was accomplished by the Char
ter Conference.

FOREST FIRE SEASON
IS HERE-BE CAREFUL

Once again the season is upon us when
our all-valuable forests are subject to
being wiped out by fires. AS far as pos
sible, officials whose work and duty are
to protect these areas, have taken pre-
cautions. Federal forest reserves as well
as state areas have been closed to all ac-
tivities save limited recreatlonal and
residential needs. To the limit of their
personnel these departments have estab-
lished look-outs and manned them.
Manifestly it is impossible to patrol
every area every day and hour. From
now on much depends upon the individ-
ual and the groups permitted to sojourn
in the forested areas. For them it is
possible to reduce the annual average of
100000 fires.
1t has been found that 10 per cent of
forest fires are man-made. And, unfor-
tunately, carelessnass stands out as the
chief indictment against those who start
the fires.
Rules which will go far to reduce the
number of fires are simple. Campers
should cover all dying fires with earth
or be sure they are fully quenched if
water is available Matches never should
be thrown aside, either lighted or un-
lighted. Smokers can be a menace or a
help. A cigaret stub will set fires, all
arguments to the contrary A spark
from an open pipe doesn't always flicker
out before striking the ground.
Cabin residents know all the rules OF
kerosene lamps, open fires and stoves.
In fact if all these simple rules were
followed to the letter, there would be
lust about no man-made forest fires. No
ono oan control liphtninp or other apeI.-
ceS of nature.
Let's keep our too small forest areas
nice and green and growing this summer.

The CHARTER: HOW GOOD
(Christian Science Monitor)

Thumbs up? Or thumbs down!
The herd instinct always demands
sweeping judgments. Now, as the San
Francisco Conference writes finis to its
work, many ask: "Is it good, or is it no
good?"
The question is itself a danger signel
for future peace Often those who ask
it, and want it answered in as many
words, assume no responsibility before
hand and intend to assume none after.
Often their attitude is that it the job
done at San Francisco is good, then they
can lie back and let the new peace or
ganization take care of things from here
on. If the work is not good, then they
wash their hands of it, they take no fur
ther interest.
But there appears no such easy way
out of future responsibility for peace as
San Francisco has written the bill. The
price of peace is going to be eternal vig-
lance, yours and mine. The charter is
going to be as useful as the peoples make
it. 1t obviously is not foolproof. One
Of its virtues is that it does not appear
to be so. No document is foolproof One
that appears to be simply succeeds in
fooling the people a dangerous half OF
the time.
But not only does this charter make
no pretense of being foolproof. 1t also
frankly takes over the world as it is now,
and says that until the world is differ
ent, this is the way peace will have to
be served in it.
There are abstract injustices in the
charter. There is, for example, the pos
sibility of impairment of small-natlon
sovereignty while big-Power sovereignty
looms above the reach of "the law. But
if these abstract injustices are to be re-
moved, good many people are gong TO
have to learn great deal more about the
practical possibilities in the Golden Rule
in international affairs.
There are weaknesses in the charter,
too They may demand that in crisis
the peoples and their leaders show great
wisdom and courage to preserve the new
organization, and with it the peace.
But if there are injustices and weak
nesses here, there are also efforts for
Justice and designs for strength. There
are provisions for discussion OF all ques-
tions within the scope Of the charter by
the assembly, in which small nations
will be predominant. There are pro-
visions for placing force Immediately at
the dispoal Of the Security Council, IN
stead of reserving it for use only at the
discretion of the separate governments.
The charter is now available to every
one. It was published in this and many
other newspapers late this week, 1t de
serves to be studied by every newspaper
reader. We believe most thoughtful
readers will agree with our estimate OF it.
This is: that the charter is not good
enough to warrant any nations or any
citizens dreamy dependence on it; but
that it is good enough to fight for as it
is now, and to cherish as one does any
great promise, by working for ultimate
realization of the goals toward which it

BRITISH WIN
 OUT ON POINT,
 FIVE FREED0M5'

MONTREAL, Aug. 23.-The Amer ican-sponsored Five Freedoms" pro- posal for regulating international air transport, which has been the most contentious single issue facing post war aviation planners, is likely to be abandoned and buried, it was learned today.
 This would represent victory for Great Britain, which has held out in opposition to the United States on this problem, the main stumbling block to agreement at the World Civil Aviation barley in Chicago last fall
 Whatever hopes the United States may have had of making it's views pervail have virtually died at the current session here of the interim council of the Provisional Interna- tional Civil Aviation organization the temporary body being set up un- der the Chicago agreements. i The key issue of contention is the so-called Fifth Freedom" which would permit commercial airlines to pick up and discharge passengers and freight in countries lying be- tween points of departure and desti- nation.
 Opponents maintain this would give an undue advantage to the Americans, who admittedly hold a whip hand in the matter of equip ment for operating world services and in the amount of business ori- ginating at home.
