Der New Yorker Journalist
Lester Markell, der mach elmer
zweimonatigen Tour durch
Westeuropa mach Amerika zu-
riickkehrte, CAB die Erklarung
alb, dass es weder Elm "europai-
sches, noch Elm amerikanisches
+. sondern nur Elm Weltpro-
blem gebe."
Markell vergleicht die Bevol-
kerung Westeuropas NIT elmer
"langen Reihe wartender Men
schen, die hoffnungsvoll in die
Zukunft sehen und in ihrem
Kampf um die Existenz ihre Au-
gen mach Washington richten."
''Zur Losung des Weltpro-
blems sind Massnahmen auf Ian
ge Sicht notwendig," fuhr der
Journalist fort, "sowohl in den
Yer. Staten ais auch in Ueber-
see doch wenn wir NIGHT
selbstlos an die Losung des Pro-
blems herangehen, werden wir
NIGHT die Hilfe bringen, die Won
uns erwartet wird und falls
wir fehlschlagen, werden wir
den hilfsbediirftigen Landern
der Welt = und auch uns selbst
= Schaden zufigen, der damn
kaum jemals wieder gutgemacht
werden kann."
I'm diesem kritischen Augen-
blick der Geschichte, in dem der
IAampf zwischen dem Ostblock
und Westblock in Europa in vol
lem Gang ist, sind die Vorgan-
&c in vier Landern Won ganz be-
sonderem Interesse, deren Aus
gang die Zukunft Westeuropas
bestimmen wird. Diese Lander
sind England, Frankrecih, TIA
lien und Deutschland"
'Das Reich bildet bis auf wei
teres keine Gefahr mehr," fuhr
Markell fort, "die Ruinen in den
Stadten und das unterbrochene
Wirtschaftssystem sind der bes-
te Beweis doch obwohl
Deutschland ohne Zweifel sehr
geschwacht ist, enthalt es dem
noch wichtige Elemente grosser
Starke, vie z. B. seine Hilfsquel-

stungen in der Industrie; seine

DR.. HarreI Addresses
Lexington Rotarians

The mystery of astronomy was dis
cussed in interesting detail at the
Friday meeting of the Lexington
Rotary Club with DR.. G. L. Harrell,
who for thirty years has held the
chair of astronomy at Millsaps Coll
eye, as the speaker.
Dr. Harrell, who was once descr-
ibed by the noted Jackson editor,
Major Frederick Sullens, as the "of-
ficial moonshine distributor" at
Millsaps, brought along number of
interesting pictures of instruments
used by astronomers to pierce the
secrets Of the heavens.
He told Of the outstanding obser-
vatories in the United States.
Another interesting fact he related
was that the state of Mississippi
ordered back in 1860 the largest tele-
scope in the world. This instrument
was to be Is inches in diameter 1t
was made in Cambridge, Mass. BY
the time it was completed the state,
due to war times of hardship, was
unable to pay for it.
A group of Chicago citizens went
together and bought the instrument
which had been manufactured for
Mississippi and that same instrument
is now still in use at the observatory
at Northwestern University at
Evanston, Illinois.
Especially interesting to Rotar-
ians were the two charts the speaker
used to show a month of moons"
and another chart which graphically
portrayed an eclipse of the sun,
Lindholm Speaks
Another interesting feature OF
Fridays meeting was short speech
by Paul P. Lindholm telling some
thing of the life of Paul P. Percy,
founder of Rotary, who died January
9th of this year at the age of 79.
Rotary grew out of very simple
thing, friendship, Mr. Lindholln
said, and the spirit which prompted
the foundig of Rotary has now come
to be a greatly universally desired
objective, he stated. The Importance
of friendship among individuals ano
nations cannot be overestimated.
Mr.. Percy was born in Racine,

residents are becoming despe-

the City Oil company.
According to Eaton, he was
driving up a Charlotte residen-

way blocked by a blue sedan
which forced him to the curb.
Getting out of his automobile,
the driver walked over to Eat

"You got any kerosene in

''Not a DROP" he said, and
truthfully.
The stranger started cursing,
climbed up on the truck, was
forced down again when Eaton
opened the door, and started
swinging as the oil man emerg-

Eaton held him off and got
