The Reverend Luce looked about
him, saw the picturesque Garden
of the Gods in a new light, and an
idea was born. He talked to other
pastors, and they offered their CO.
operation. The first annual Easter
sunrise service was held.
This year, in a church fashioned
more than million years ago by
nature, thousands of worshipers will
gather for the 25th annual Easter
sunrise service. AS the first shafts
of sunlight are reflected from snow
capped Pixies Peak, choir Of $50
will lift their voices in song that
reverberates from pinnacle to pin
nacle among the red rocks and
spires.
There will be 10000 or more peo-
pie in the Garden of the Gods on
Easter morning, but millions more
will hear the service in their homes,
for it is carried over a nationwide
radio hookup.
Near the monumental cathedral
spires, three crosses have been
erected. Here will stand the trum-
peters who cali the assembly to wor-
ship. A few hundred yards away,
at the base of South Gateway rock,
which is more than 300 feet high,
the services will be held.
The service again will be predom-
inantly musical with the tones of an
electric organ providing the back
ground A 250-voice a capella choir
from Colorado Springs will feature
the program. Traditional with the
service is the well known tenor, Ber-
nard Vessey, who will sing Knapp's
"Open the Gates of the Temple"
During the past Is years, millions
of people have attended the sunrise
service. They have faced the giant
rocks and listened to the choir in
natures great auditorium, acous-
tically one of the most perfect.
All plans for the Easter sunrise
service in the Garden of the Gods
are handled by the Colorado Springs
ministerial alliance.

Immediately, however, the reign
ing world food reliefer, Herbert Leh-
man of UNRRA, was announced to
be whether from the news of the
Hoover appointment or not. He Of
fered his resignation to the world
council of UNRRA opening Friday
at Atlantic City.
These dOvetailing circum-
stances lent credence to a nat
ural Interpretation that a COM
plete overhaul of our relief ef-
forts is at hand. MIR. Truman
had earlier blaekened the
wheat content of bread, and his
action took such swift effect that
my baker this week began COM
planning that his flour had be-
come grossly inferior, and that
MIR. Truman did not know the
severe effects of such an order.
The quality of the loaf he gave
me of this basic poor mans
food certainly furnished evil
dence of a colossal mistake - or
many of them-somewhere.
PUBLIC ASKED TO RATION
FOOD ON VOLUNTARY BASIS
/ thought Messrs. Truman and
Hoover, in later announcements,
displayed somewhat different ap-
proach to the matter. Mr.. Truman
asked the people to cut the use of
wheat by 40 per cent and fats by
20 per cent, and Mr.. Hoover spoke
of setting up ''a circuit of helpful
ness around the world" Both gen.
orally indicated by their words that
they would appeal for voluntary CO.
operation by the people in truly
democratic way. This was in clear
contrast to totalitarian methods of
requiring conformance by economic
tricks and the force-methods so
familiar during the war, both Of
which we borrowed to a consider
able degree from the Nazi and Fas-
cist ways. Officially it was said, for
instance, we need not have ration
ing.
Personally will say / will be
able to avoid bread entirely, if
the -four is to be corrupted to
the extent of the last loaf I got.
But as say, bread Is the poor
mans basic food, the staff of
life, and what I would like to
see is the maintenance Of its
full quality for our people, and
the feeding of famine victims to
whatever extent is necessary.
/ do not believe our food should
have been-or should be-used for
political purposes, for buying sup
port abroad, unless we have sur
pluses. Our contribution should be
limited to what is required to re-
lieve actual human suffering. Now
as to statistics on this subject, l
have found from experience that a
politically minded person can get

committee.
Certainly nearly anything could be

the Lehman administration of

sentatives who have gone abroad
the past year or more have re-
turned with astonishing tales of its
inefficiency. Mr.. Truman tried to

of the job, and congress was ready

War Souvenirs
To Take Lives
For Long Time

GREELEY, COLO. - Guns and
other souvenir weapons brought
back to their homes by G.I.s will
be killing United States citizens for
the next 20 years, G. E. Damon of
Colorado state college of education
believes. Damon is a firearms
expert.
Basing his prediction on studies
he has conducted on souvenir
enemy weapons, Damon believes the
average Americans lack of knowl-
edge of dangerous weapons and
carelessness with firearms will take
many lives in the future.
Recently 14-year-old boy came
to Damon with a shotgun and asked
how to open it. The boys father had
given him the gun but had neglect
ed to instruct the lad in its use.
One of the most dangerous weap-
ons is also one of the most popu-
lar to come from Europe. It is the
Walther P-38 pistol. The army has
records of many hundreds of cases
Of wounds inflicted on the person
who uses the pistol, Damon said.
The locking lugs in Japanese
rifles are made of metal that is
too soft in some cases and too brit
tie in others, he said. They can't
stand much strain and consequently
are dangerous even if handled by
experts" Under no conditions
should American made ammuni-
ton be used in captured arms.
The best way to insure safety is
to keep enemy weapons only as
souvenirs and, in most cases, never
use them, he said.
