The State can be justifably
proud of its school bus transporta-
tion to Smyrna school. In the last
fifteen years great progress has
been made in improving the sys-
tenn. Several new school buses
have been added in recent years,
and the old ones have been repair
ed and repainted. At the present
time there are nine buses, compar-
atively new; one bus was released
from service this year. New con-
tracts have been signed, and in
many cases the drivers have
changed.
With its fleet of vehicles Smyrna
school is able to provide transpor-
tation for children within an area
having radius of approximately
fifteen miles. This service enables
many children in the country to
continue their education without
depending on trains or chance
rides in automobiles as means of
transportation, as it was necessary
to do in some communities twenty
years ago.
Most OF the buses have plenty of
windows for fresh air in hot
weather, and all have heaters for
the comfort of the occupants in
winter. Although a number of
buses are still quite crowded, we
are hopeful that this condition will
be remedied within a few years.

Soviet Russia's practise of hav-
ing its soldiery live well off the
conquered countries while mil
lions of subject people starve is
described by Cardinal Spellman,
when he declares:
"Sn Poland alone, the first ma
ton to take up arms for the prin-
ciple of freedom, there are today
almost a million orphans, and
thousands of her war-ridden, hun
ger-bitten old and young each day
die from the plague of tuberculo-
sis. While a million soldiers Of the
Red Army live we'll on Polish soil,
million Of Poland's innocent chill
dren die of starvation, and the
Slavs who fought Communism are
being hunted and starved and will
perish from the earth unless We
give them immediate help.
From Lithuania, Estonia and
Latvia, at least quarter Of a mil
lion people, many of them hardy
farmers, were deported to- Siberia,
where the average length of life
is five years. And while children
in Vienna die from starvation, the
Russian armies lead from their
pastures the milch cows Of Aus
tria."
Unless we share what we have,
we surrender our right to have it,
according to Cardinal Spellman,
who asserts, "for it is as clear to
see as the stars in the skies that
if we love God we must give to
save humanity, else we are headed
toward the day of doom when man
and all mans works will vanish
from the earth

"Do we not know that starving
men are the first and sharpest
tools for the dictator who feeds
them? Do we not know that we
must save the worlds children
lest they listen to the lies of those
who teach them to hate 'hypocriti-
cal hands stretched across the
seas in the name of 'despised
democracy to offer them an emp
ty peace? Do we not know that a
desperate mother will caress the
hand that feeds her hungry baby,
that helpless boy will follow the
hand that feeds his hungry moth
er? And bread in the hands of new
dictators may become the weapon
of new war;"
Cardinal Spellman declares that
the obscene evils perpetrated by
the Nazis against the Jews, the
Poles and the conquered people of
other countries are now being
practised by the victorious Allies.
Without specifying Russia by
name, the Cardinal states:
"The obscene evils perpetrated
by the Nazis against helpless Jews,
against their neighbors, the Poles,
and the profaned peoples of other
conquered countries, will always
live as a loathsome memory. 1t was
to eradicate such d system from
the world that men were called to
take up arms, to slay and to de-
stroy.
"But it is a shameful symbol of
the peace under which we are liv-
ing that the horrors perpetrated
by the Nazis are now being prac-
tised by the victorious Allies on

The delicious balanced" lunches
now being served in the cafeteria
of the John Bassett Moore School
reflect great credit on Mrs. Homer
Downs, manager. And the cost,
in view of present high prices for
food, is low. For twenty-five cents
a health platter" can be obtained.
A typical platter consists of chick
en- pie with vegetables, bread and
butter, and milk. The menu var
les from day to day, but the quail
ity and generous quantity remain
the same. Also available, besides
the platter, are delicious sandwich
es, soup and milk. A big, WELL
balanced lunch can be gotten for
less than thirty cents, which in
these times, is certainly creditable.

George w. Wright, Superintend-
ent of John Bassett Moore School,
disclosed that there is a greater
trend toward vocational courses, at
this time, than there has been in
previous years. This" said Mr..
Wright, enables the student to
secure some types of jobs without
college education. Too many pu-
pills pursue the traditional college
preparatory course when actually
it is known they will not attend an
academic college. This trend to-
ward vocational training is a very
normal condition and reflects great
credit on the intelligent desire of
pupils who will not go to college
to obtain a practical high school
education"

Great progress has been made
