There's no age limit to member
ship in the Trinidad Boys Club.
Even if you're SO and Mortified by
the thought of doing acrobatics on
the tumbling mat in the made-over
garage that serves for clubhouse,
you still can be member.
The $50 boys who are members
are Offering adults share in their
club by asking them to become
members at 81 year dues. The boys
have plenty of uses to which they
can put the money.
Probably the most urgent need,
Fred Nalley, club director, said, is
to buy another heater so the club
can be kept open during the winter.
Money also is needed to pay the
rent on the two-story building, to
pay the electric light bill, the tele-
phone bill, to pay for needed re-
pairs to the walls and floors and
to buy more sporting equipment.
Sustaining Fund Exhausted.
Hard luck has seemed to hound
the club, which was organized
about two and a half years ago
by group of boys who were air.
raid warden messengers during the
war. The nine youngsters who were
messengers together In the Trini-
dad area decided to form a club
that would carry over after the
war. With the aid of a few raff1es
on everything from nylon hose to
war bonds, the boys interested the
community to the financial extent
that they were able to rent the
abandoned garage at 1119 Wylie
street NE and obtain little equip
ment.
But in the course of two years,
the sustaining fund was exhausted.
One of the events during the sum-
mer of 1945 that was expected to
provide some extra funds was a
Night of Thrills and Fun, held at
the Washington Scftban Stadium,
which had been donated for the eve
ming. But the proceeds were much
lower than the boys had hoped.
The night chosen for the event was
August IA, which turned out to be
the night the Japanese surrender
was announced.

HEART AND HOME

Engaged couples and newlyweds are under favorable influences. Housewives will soon take an active part in a nation wide drive to dis cover and expose those who pretend responsibility while practicing the arts of professional thieves as either sellers or buyers in black markets.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 New automobiles will soon be roll ing off the assembly lines in large numbers, bringing prosperity to countless kindred businesses in- cluding repair garages, filling sta- tions, accessory shops and summer roadside stands.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Those who think t hat our national economy can be switched from wartime to a peacetime- basis with push button dispatch should prepare themselves for at least another year of controls, strikes, increases in the cost of liv- ing and the dangers of imitation.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Some progress toward unified ccntrol of Germany within the near future is foreseen. Many disturbed by Russia's attempt to steal atomic bomb secrets in Canada will re- alize presently that if Russia knew as much about those secrets as she claimed she would not have found it necessary to send her spies to Canada.

BALANCED BUDGET

A group of sixteen Senators and Representatives has issued call for balanced budget in the fiscal year starting July The statement points out that we cannot afford nor do we need at this time, in view of the widespread opportunities for employment such things the biggest public works program in history or a general Government expenditure almost twice pre-war l939" The statement also points out that to the extent that the Government undertakes
 unnecessary construction the amount of manpower an material available for civilian production will be re- duced The result only be to extend the period of shortages of civilian goods and housing, and hence to aggravate the inflationary pressures.
 The fundamental force making for imitation in this country has been Government deficits. During Feb ruary, for the first time in many years, income and outgo came into balance, but this appears to be a temporary situation based upon the early payment of taxes due in March According to the latest official estimate deficit of almost S5O 100000 is anticipated the fiscal year 194647 This deficit does not include any allowance for various programs such that for national health and medical the St. Lawrence waterway development additional subsidies and other proposals which currently before the Congress Any program balance the Federal budget must start in the first instance with careful screening of all pro- posals to add types of spending to the present total The second step must be re-examination of all programs in effect to determine whether not large-sca1e economies can be made in them.
 National thinking now seems geared to the assump- ton that there is harm in having budget deficit though the economy is operating at boom levels But have difficulty in balancing the budget under boom conditions, and not to build up

We Suggest an Experiment
(Cincinnati Enouirer)


 While the great majority of Americans are ardent in their support of the principle of price regulation during times of unreasonable demand still too many of us being by the unrelenting pressure of "break-the ceiling" groups. It would be good, we believe if additional examples could be established examples which would prove beyond any shadow of doubt that removal of controls would drive costs far above the ability of the average consumer to pay.
 We would suggest, then removal of ceilings of certain items which the majority of Americans could well do without. We'd take jewelry, shotgun shells, golf balls radios selling for above $75 and perhaps two three other uxuries which while they popular also are limited in availability.
 After controls were removed we'd have close check kept on each item. We'd check the price advance-if any We'd check to see whether overbuy- ing would increase shortages whether or not price advances would stimulate production that supply would equal demand-and how We'd make all these facts available to the general public through every possible information
 We suspect that the results would be convincing. We suspect that Americans would learn that ceiling removal would not break shortages in any reasonable time. and that in the interim prices would skyrocket to the point where only the wealthy could buy the items included in the free list"

HEART AND HOME

HEART AND HOME
 Natures annual creation will inspire renewed interests and ac- tivities in and around the home. Old hopes and ambitions will be re- vived. Inconsequential irritations will be forgotten. Spring brings re- birth not only to nature but to the human heart.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 The stars warn against overex- pansion during the next year. Sound growth will be determined by past experience and realistic reading of future prospects, but speculative expansion is dangerous and may prove costly and even dis .asterouS.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 The proposal that the United States rebuild Hiroshima will get considerable support. This Japa- nese city was destroyed by the most violent single blast in the his- tory of the world The victims in- cluded many thousands of civilians -childrel. and women as well as men. Restoration of Hiroshima would be in memory of those who died there that many other lives might be spared.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Reduction of world armaments is not only possible but probable, though the task of persuading. all major powers to make a substantial cut in their present military es- tablishments may require several years. A peace enforced by arms is only a war deferred.
 These whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars: A year of unprecedented success in a ma- jor project.

FIRST MEETING OF THE UNO

The General Assembly of the United
Nations Organization is now meeting in
London.
BY far the most important thing the
Assembly has to do is to set up the COM
mission to carry out the Atomic Declara-
ton of President Truman and Prime Min
lister Attlee of Great Britain and King of
, Canada. The Atomic Declaration, it will
be remembered; made two Statements Of
policy One, we were willi1gfta share our
knowledge of atomic weapons with Russia
and the other United Nations, Two, We,
would not, however, give upNour secrets
until the United Nations Organization had
set up effective enforceable safeguards"
against the use of atomic weapons-or any
other weapons of mass Decentralization
warlike purposes. A UNO commission is
to recommend what those Safeguard
should be.
So far so good. Up to this point the
Atomic Declaration was great state pa
per. For in effect, although not in specific
terms, it called for world control of the
modern weapons of mass destruction UNI
der law-that is for world government
of defined purposes and of clearly limited
powers. But then the Declaration got
cautious. All of this was to be done ~by
separate stages, as confidence among the
nations grew. This part of the Declaration
sounds ike a fiftylyear plan. COR longer. s.
Unfortunately, as Senator Mcmahon
has said, atomic bombs dosnot go off grad
.nally, and therefore you cannot handle
them gradually. We must offer our plan
for effective enforceable safeguards" all
at once-and now The UNO General AS
sembly of 1916 will be judged by what it
does with this question. We call on the
President of the United States to see to it
that we do our part to make UNO face up
now to this question of the control of
atomic energy and to propose daring
solution. Any other course makes more
likely the atomic war which so many peo-
pie already say is inevitable

The British government intends to
assume ownership and management OF all
British coal mines during the. next SIX
months. One American newspaper de
scribes the action as "Britain's most sig
nificaft advance on the read stossocialisna'
during the first year of the Labor regime"
In the comment that will arise over
the elimination of coal as a private enter
prise i'm England, the usual remarks will
be heard that the men in the mines will
never know the difference. True, the
British coal miner will continue to get his
pay, and for a time he may not be con-
scious of the change in his status. But
eventually it will be borne home to him
that he is an employee of government, in
a land which is setting government up as
a master instead of a servant.
The latter significant point should
not be overlooked by those persons who
continually point to government employees
in this country as proof that merely work
ing for government does not mean sla4efy,
Our government is still the servant AS an
employer, it is still comparatively minor
influence. However, add to its payroll
every American coal miner and the pic
ture would become grimly different. Our
government, too, would be we'll on the
way TO becoming master.
What would happen under the new
labor" government in England if John
Lewis decided to break the coal mine
operators unless his demands were met?
What would happen if union organizers
decided to take over management's job by
enrolling foremen into the union, not hest
tating to resortsto strike violence to gain
their objective. In England this would
now be none other than rebellion. The
violence would be aaginst government
rather than recalcitrant private employ
er. It would be put down ruthlessly.
Fortunately in our country the coal.
industry remains in private hands The
miners can strike. They can exploit their
grievances without being cast in the role
Of fighting against government They can
do this only so long as the independence

In fairness to others equally
