and subsequent cases has heen es-
tablished.
Two or three of the 10 no doubt
had very clear ideas Of why they
were dismissed. But unless some
singularly masterful deception is
under way, most OF the others
are sincerely mystified by the
whole affair. One man, for ex-
ample, can explain way the ak
fell on him only in terms of the
fact that he attended a Few left
wing meetings in college days, out
of curiosity. Another was the
friend of a friend of a man who
had fought with the Loyalists in
the Spanish Civil war. Another
somehow got on the mailing list
o. a left-wing bookstore. One man
had once served as a technician
on the staff of a professor known
to be we'll to the left of center.
And SO on.
The suspicion inevitably arises
that certain subordinate officials
Of the State Department, barking
to congressional cries for commu-
mist blood, decided that a respect
able number of heads must be
served up on a platter. This
theory gains FEASIBILITY from the
fact that at least two Of the purg-
ees were already on terminal
leave rom the department, and
were recalled only for the purpose
of dismissing them. Since these
two individuals were not expected
to return to work in the depart
ment under any circumstances, II
is certainly possible that they
were dismissed only to add to the
departments box score.
No doubt it was assumed that
the fact that no names were PHO
lished would protect those dis
missed. However, it has not work
ed out that wav. In the first place,
their fellow employees of course
knew why they left the depart
ment so suddenly, and Washington

Brigade Boys Camp

For the first time since it's start the
Bruce B. Cameron MemorialBoys Camp
operated by the Brigade Boys club, the
1947 camping period was a complete
success. Previously a polio scare and
inclement weather interfered with at
tendance. But this summer, despite
frequent rains, attendance reached the
gratifying figure of 313, and because
the camp was efficiently stated there
were no serious accidents, no illness
nothing but a good time which was en-
joyed by all.
Although the cost was greater than
anticipated, there is no reason to worry
about the deficit. Advancing costs OF
supplies and everything else threw the
preliminary budget out of killer. The
closing day found the camp treasury
short by s532.29 of meeting the bills
But no firm or individual serving the
came will have to shave his account
The full amount will be forthcoming.
Through gifts of individuals and or
Plantations many boys who could not
pay their own way were given a weeks
vacation gratis. These liberal gifts by
friends of the Brigade cannot be COM
mended too highly nor can the lads who
benefited from them be too grateful.
Boys who earn a little throughout
the year turn over a little of their
earnings from time to time as a means
of accommodating personal camp expense
funds. If they have thus saved S. they
are taken to camp for a week. If their
savings fall short they get the vacation
just the same, the difference being
made up from the above mentioned
gifts. And if they had no money in the
fund this year they went to camp any
way.
The IS or less some of the boys
saved fell far short of the actual cost
of attendance. Even by the closest
figuring the weekly cost per boy was
$12.14. So, if it had not been for gen.
erous help and the Community Chests
contribution the existing deficit would
now be much larger and, what is more
serious, many boys who needed a vaca-
ton would not have been able to 60
to camp at all.
1t is the hope of the Kiwanis club
and the Brigade board of directors to
open the camp next year when school
closes and remain in continuous opera
ton until the school bell rings again.
The project is so good no effort can well
be spared to fulfill this hope.

Age Doesn't Help Here

One old coin that has not increased
in value with age is the 1889 dollar.
The Associated Press says it is worth
only so cents. At this rate in another
eight years it will be worthless. May
be that's not as bad as it looks at first
glance. Mighty few of us have any

the cost OF victory. We had 70 con-
cern ourselves chiefly with the task
Of winning, whatever the cost. That
there was needless squandering OF
our money and our material re-
sources, along with the loss Of lives,
was inevitable.
| But the late war made such heavy
inroads on our financial and natural
wealth that we cannot afford longer
to ignore the lessons which that war
and which every war of the past has
given us, but which we have been too
prone to forget once peace has been
restored. The time to set up sup
ply system which will prevent
recurrence of the extravagances of
the past is now, while the lessons
still are fresh in our minds. Unless
proper steps are taken today, a
future sudden emergency may find
us less prepared than ever to stand
up under the terrific strains which
will be put on our depleted financial,
industrial and natural resources.
