Weakened Nation
The United States weakened
by the love of luxury and ease
and by a decline in the integrity
of the family as an institution for
the reproduction of the race
may have fewer people than to-
day.
''Can 100000 people, let us
say, living in relative luxury and
with an abnormally high proper
tion of aged persons, keep out one
to two billion people in the Orient
possessing an industrial power
many times greater than at pres
ent?" Baker asks con the other
hand, across the Atlantic, new
Europe, probably consolidated by
that time under one government,
may well have a billion people,
half or more Russian"
Baker answered thus:
"a people who do not care to
have children will gradually cease
to exist and other peoples with
greater love of life and children,
with more thought to the future
and greater sense of responsible
ty, cannot be blamed if they press
into a partial vacuum"
Baker expressed hope that "this
penetration will be peaceful" He
added:
perhaps by that time it will
be welcomed, as it was a century
ago."
Referring ,5viously to Coinmu-
mist Russia, Baker said that the
present day Occidental civiliza-
ton, as typified by this country,
faces "a very efficiently organic
ed group possessing a desire for
power, associated with a very ma
terialistic philosophy of values;
also, strangely, with a religious
conviction which makes a strong
appeal to the masses of Europe
and Asia who will increasingly
feel the pressure of population on
the natural resources

The statement by Calton as to

"About 2:15 am. while en- my

not answer me, but kept on going
toward the hangar.
Il then said what is the idea?'
The man then said I am going to
take an airplaine.' l asked him
if he had any Identification. He
said no, but I'm going to take
a plane
Fired One Shot
by this time, he had taken a
chock from under one of the
planes and as l approached him
he threw the chock at me. He
then grabbed a second chock and
was coming toward me. 1 told
him to drop it, but he kept coming
toward me. / had my gun Out by
this time and when he refused to
stop, l fired one shot at him, and
he dropped the chock and grabbed
his chest and fell. l Immediately
went to the telephone and called
Tom HUMPHREYS (airport man,
ager) and told him what had hap
pened."
Two city policemen Dwight Ray
and E. F. Chesley, went to the
airport with DR.. P. R. Terry, Bun

Stricter eligibility rules and
regulations covering applicants
for jobs as policemen and fire
men were announced yesterday
by the Civil Service commission
in an effort to have the best
men available certified for posi-
tons as they open up.

mission, through the Rev. w. J.
Stephenson, secretary, announc-
ed that all applications now ex-
listing, numbering more than a
score, would be invalid.
New application blanks for
jobs are in the hands of printers
now and will be available Mon
day, October 20.

ulations, prospective flremen

fore, applicants submitted only
a written application and were
not personally interviewed.
New requirements provide
that applicants must have four
years high school work but do
not specify they must be nigh

quired before. Credit, FBI,

be that applicants must pass a
standard intelligence test in ad-
dition to the regular written ex-
animation. Medical examina-
tons will continue as heretofore.
The only difference between
requirements for firemen and
policemen will be in height.

Sgt. Zibelins spent his first 10
years on the force riding a BIZ

Fales is now head of the city

the building will be put up for
sale.
Under Federal Works Admins
tration ruling the Town of Jack

chase the building, providing a

letter was written after last

At that meeting the Legion
had representatives who told of
the posts desire to purchase and
enlarge the building for a recre-
ational center for jacksonville.
According to a letter received
here from the FWA office in At
lanta, the Legion can have first
priority if the town should waive
its rights.
The town did waive its rights
in favor of the Legion with the
understanding that the Legion
purchase the building, and that if
it did not then the priority will
revert to the Town of Jackson
