Bishop II. Lester Smith, head
Of the Methodist church in the

 Although followed by a large crowd of rooters from the home town the Wolves could not come out on the high side of thescore
 The red and white-suited Wolves are somewhat handicapped by lack of experienced players as there is only one letterman on the team.
 Considering this, the second game was a real thriller. as any spectator could see as the Wolves paced the Vikings basket for basket. Even our opponents agree that I've have something there" and admit they'll have to watch Wrangell.
 We all expect some fast, exciting games when the Petersburg hoop sters invade Wrangell on February 22 and 23.

fort on Turkeys part needs to be
seconded by equal good will COM
ing from her northern neighbor."
Russia's motive i'll demanding con-
cessions is not based upon the prin-
ciples laid down by the Turks, but
upon furthering her own selfish in
terests there, rs elsewhere. Turkey
knows that full well. and knows,
too, that once the camel gets its
head under the tent its whole body
soon will be pushed through. SuS-
picion breeds suspicion, and we have
an idea that Ankara fears that the
Sovicts if given an inch would take
Il mile, and ultimately and not long
hence would dominate the whole
area. Undoubtedly the other powers
are of the same mind, hence their
siding with Turkey as against Rus
STA. Such convictions are, we think,
well grounded.

The College Dilemma

North Cardinals universities and
month before their fall term be-
gins, and report that they not only
have no more dormitory quarters
but not even space for another chair
in a class room or Il place at Il
laboratory table. The situation is
without precedent and poses Il pro-
blem that not only admits Of no i'm
mediate solution but has more than
one angle.
Formerly the institutions of high
CT learning Campaigned for students.
They wanted large enrollmentS.
despite protests to the contrary.
Now. in the wake of world war
end in view of government subsidy
of its former fighting men who seek
such training, college heads are
wringing their hands in hclplcssness
and bordering the meaning of it all
Moreover, in the brief experience
the institutions have had with GIS,
the colleges have found that the
veterans have given good account
of themselves and that most of them
are in dead earnest in their quest
for knowledge. Nor is this the full
story. One college high official said
publicly in Henderson during the
weekend ehat the current rush for
class rooms is, in his opinion, rot "A
temporary movement. but that IT
will continue indefinitely That is a
wholesome development. assuming
that students are fired by the pro-
per purpose and that they arc not

theories that might tend to under

foundations upon which they have

a little learning is dangerous thing
and that one must drink deep if nc
Is to benefit most. The world can
use men and women whose purpose

enough already of those imbucd
only with selfish motives. The pres
cnt rush for training can be most
wholesome development. and it can
be hoped that il shall be this def

Henderson daily dispatch., 1946-08-27
Preparedness Needed

If there were those who doubted
ness by the United States. events of
the past ten days should be suf-
ficient To diSabuSc their minds of
such convictions. Developments have
been OF grave enough character TO
convince all who would be convinced
that the world is a long way from
being safe for democracy. OF even
for peace. They have given evidence
that there are vast segmentS of the
worlds people who are still of 4
warlike complex and had about as
soon be fighting as doing anything
else. ManifeStly, they are not our
kind of people, for Americans dis
like war and would prefer to be left
TO mind their own business. and &C
cord the same privilege to every one
else.
The fact that the shooting in the
last war ended more than year
ago is no reason why there should
be laXity in research into and per-
lection OF new weapons for Amer
lca'S defense. Any other course than
pursuit of these goals will BE-
hazardous III the extreme. for al
ready there is sufficient indication
that other nations, al least few.
have no thought of letting down
their guards. but intend to keen
abreast of new inventions and moro
powerful weapons, III so far as lies
within their power.
All of this will call for money,
and while IN Il sense it would seem
to be wanton waste. actually il is
not that but rather is insurance 70:
the future. even if expensive in
surance. There appears to be ~
other alternative than that the Unit
cd States must look we'll toward
these undertakings. Congress may b.
INSTANT about appropriating huge
sums OF money, and perhaps with
good reason, in light of frauds tina:
have been uncovered since the wars
end. But ii should be possible for
the nation to provide and To apply
needed funds for its own defense
without being sold down the river
by It's own people. If such innate
integrity docs not exist. then maybe
we do not deserve to survive as all
independent country.
