But religion, for young as we'll as
old. involves more than faith in the
power Of God, essential though that
be. 1t also involves worship and
good works. 1t is useless merely to
urge church attendance upon those
of high school and college age. But
let them not forget that the act of
worship, or reverence, in building
dedicated to God does something
inspiring to person. do not know
how to explain it. but church attend
ance does something for ones happi-
ness peace of mind and calm of soul
that nothing else can do. This helps
to give us the strength that we all
need, whethef we are is or rs.
But the final test of religion is in
good works-that is, in being kind
to ones fellows, and in not being
unduly mean. lazy, selfish and un-
fair. We can use religion to help
us be kind, friendly. honest, and just
Certainly young people need these
qualities just as much as do older
people. Without these qualities, life
is sure to be failure, to leave a
bitter taste in the mouth at the
end.
One of the great divines of mod
ern times. Henry Drummond, said
that while Christ can change the
world all that the world actually
sees of Christ is what it sees of you
and me.
The boy or girl of Is, or the man
or woman of As or IS, may or may
not belong to church, but every
one knows what the life of Christ
stood for. The older man or woman
has failed in life and the boy or
girl is on the road to failure unless
his or her life mirrors in its own
small way the life Of Christ.

Our Forces in Germany

In his Stuttgart remarks dealing
with Allied occupying forces, Secre-
tary of State Byrnes was speaking
primarily to the Germans and Rus
slams, but his words had a special
meaning for Americans as well.
AS far as the Germans are con-
cerned, Mr.. Byrnes promised them,
In effect, that our policy, though
contemplating the maintenance of
security forces in Germany for
long time, would strive constantly
Tor an inter-Allied agreement to re-
duce those forces to as small a size
as possible as rapidly as possible.
Enlarging on this point-and his
words here were addressed princi-
pally to Russia-Mr. Byrnes declared
that the long-term objective of the
occupation was to make sure that
Germany would not rearm as it did
after the First World War. He then
went on to remind everybody that
the United States still stood ready
to carry through its proposal for
four-power treaty under which it
would join France, Britain and the
Soviet Union in enforcing for twenty
five or even forty years any German
demilitarization plan agreed upon in
the final peace settlement. Such a
treaty, as he rightly observed, would
make it possible for the victor pow
ers to effect marked reduction in
their occupying forces and to rely
more on smaller contingents of in
spectors than on large numbers of
infantrymen.
Unfortunately, however, Moscow
up to now has been decidedly cool to
our treaty proposal. At Stuttgart,
therefore, Mr.. Byrnes made the
sound and fortnight statement that
the United States, in the absence of
such an arrangement or some salts
factory substitute, would be obliged
to undertake the long term mainte-
nance of American security troops.
Il want no misunderstanding" he
said. I'VE will not shirk our duty.
We are not withdrawing. AS long as
an occupation force is required in
Germany the Army of the United
States will be a part of that occu-
patton force" This declaration OBJ
viously was aimed at the Russians in
particular, but its significance ought
not to be overlooked by any of us
in this country. For the effective
ness of the policy 1t involves will
depend on whether the American
people support it to the full or
whether it will be undermined or
negated in the future by popular or
emotional pressures to bring the
boys back and keep them home"
After the First World War, as Mr..
Byrnes declared at Stuttgart, we
made the grave mistake of with
drawing from Europe and turning
iSolationist. Speaking through the
Secretary of State, the American
Government, recognizing that peace
is indivisible and that we cannot
with safety neglect our responsible
tiles abroad, has now affirmed and
reafflrmed that that mistake will not
be made again. This is facing up to
reality. The American people, con-
stituting the richest and most pow
erful Nation on earth, can ignore it
only at their own peril.

natural resource. 1t seems logical In
the years ahead that many young
men who like the outdoor life will
find increased vocational opportuni-
ties in forest work. From every angle
our citizens should cooperate to re-
duce losses from forest fires. Nature
was prodigal with her resources in
this western Nation. Our national
welfare demands that we handle
them with intelligent care.

In an effort to discover what is
being done in the county for juvenile
protection and what could be done"
the Washington County Parent
Teachers Council conducted a panel
discussion, followed by an informal
forum, at South Potomac Junior
High School recently. Appearing on
the panel were: Miss Frances
Grimes, principal of Antietam
School; Mrs. Austin Gardner, presi-
dent of the Washington Street
School PIT. A; the Rev. Paul Rob-
inson, pastor of the Church of the
Brethren; Wilbur Phillips, super
visor of attendance for Washington
County Schools and Donald Klopfer,
athletic director of the Y. M c. A.
Absenteeism from school, thought
by those present to be a leading
factor in juvenile problems, was
attributed to poor Fairgrounds, in
sufficient facilities for play periods;
faulty curriculum and unattractive
school buildings and surroundings.
Suggested remedies were: The en-
couragement of young peoples activ-
tiles in the churches, with facilities
for every type of recreation made
available in the churches; activities
in the home, and a greater participa-.
ton in church affairs by parents 1t
was further suggested that "Y"
clubs be formed for the "boy in the
street" who has the greatest need
for them. The latter project as we'll
as cooperation with the police de-
partment in meeting juvenile prob
lens was defined as a matter re-
quiring community cooperation The
Rev. G. Aubrey Young, chairman of
the meeting, stated that the Council
will request the management of
local moving picture houses to refuse
admission for matinee performances
to youngsters who are obviously
absentees from school.

Every once in a while Hollywood
comes through with a surprise pic
ture which has audiences clutching
at the edge of theatre seats.
Such film is the Universal re-
lease, Scarlet Street" which opens
Monday at the Henry's Theatre.
1t shouldn't actually be called a
mere film, for it is an outstanding
cinema event in every respect, in
Guiding the production direction
genius of Fritz Lang.
The canny Lang, impressed by
the success of "The Woman In The
Window" decided to search for a
story in which he could again ex-
plot the talents of the top trio in
that melodrama. They are, of
course, Edward C. Robinson, Joan
Bennett and Dan Duryea. He found
it in the outspoken French novel
and play, "La Chienne," which was
written by Georges de la Fouchar-
diere and Mouezy- Eon. Then he had
Dudley Nichols write the screen
play with Robinson, Miss Bennett
and Duryea in mind.
Results Justified
According to audience reaction,
the result justified all the hard work
which obviously went into the pic
ture. The parts are tailored to the
talents of the leading players. The
suspense engendered is right down
Mr.. Langs alley. You could have
heard pin drop during many long
minutes as the film unwound.
The story concerns a modest ca
shier who has spent twenty years
with the same clothing company in
New York. At home he paints pic
lures to escape the pickering of his
abusive wife. inadvertently, he
meets a lovely girl, falls in love
with her, and takes all his paintings
