Folks living in the vicinity OF
Third and Dock streets have been
treated to ear-cracking noises dur
ing the last IA weeks as members
of the American Legion post No.
10 Drum and Bugle corps go
through their PAGES, under the
leadership of R. T.. Berman, each
Wednesday night in the Legion
Home.
But more ear-splitting is the
noise which resounds through the
servicemen's home as the corps
goes through its PAGES in the
third-floor ballroom.
Under the direction OF Bob"
as he is known to his musicians
to-be, members of the corps have
beat on ersatz drums during the
last several months while await
ing shipments of instruments.
The bugIers were forced to wait
until their instruments arrived

Charles Earnest Rae and
Freddy Thomas Gainey, suffered
superficial bruises and abrasions
about the arms and legs when
the Leeuwenburg milk truck in
which they were riding was
turned over in a collision at 18th
and Ann streets Tuesday noon,
police reported. the men were
treated at James Walker Hos
pital'.
Ray was driving the truck,
which was struck in the side by
a Chevrolet coupe driven east on
Ann street. The truck was
proceeding north on 18th.
Both Rae and James Matthew
Wooten, driver of the car, told
police they did not see the other
vehicle until too late to avoid
the collision. Wooten was unin-
jured. No arrests were made.

all. States often failed to send
delegates to Congress, and
there were many disputes be-
tween states. It became clear
that a stronger kind of central
government must be found. FL
nally, Congress called a con-
vention, to which all the states
except Rhode Island elected
delegates.
This convention met-in May,
1877, in independence Hall in
Philadelphia. George Washing
ton was chosen to preside.
Some of the other members
were James Madison, Benjamin
Franklin and Alexander Hamil-
ton.
From the beginning, the con-
flicting interests of the states
made it hard to decide many
questions. For example, Virgin
ia, which then had the largest
population, felt that she should
have more votes in Congress
than a small state. The small
states, on the other hand, fear
ed that the large states would
have too much power. It was
finally agreed that the new Con-
gress should be made up of two
houses. In the Senate each
state, whether large or small,
was to have two members. In
the House of Representatives,

the states were to have mem
bers according to their popula-
ton.
There were many other dis
puted points but, after four
months of discussion, the Con-
stitution was adopted on Sept.
II. It was then sent to Con-
gress, which sent it to the
states. The convention had de-
cided that the new government
would begin when nine states
had ratified the Constitution.
Any states that refused to Join
this majority would be left out.
It was not. at all certain that
a sufficient number of states
would accept the instrument, as
many prominent men were op-
posed. However, by July of the
following year, eleven states
had ratified. Only North Caro-
lima and Rhode Island were left
outside. So these two states had
no part in the first elections
nor did New York, which did
not get ready in time. North
Carolina finally ratified in Nov
ember, 1889, but Rhode Island
did not ratify until May, 1890.

CONSTITUTION

editors Note: - September
IL IS known as Constitution Day
in the United States because it
is the anniversary of the adop-
ton of the Constitution by the
Philadelphia Convention in
1872
The Second Continental Con-
gress,' which adopted the Dec
laration Of Independence in
l776, was a revolutionary body
chosen in defiance of Great Bri-
tain. It was composed of dele
gates appointed by the separate
states, but there was no central
government and Congress had
no power over the separate
states.
After the Declaration of In
dependence, it was determined
to frame a written agreement
between the states, a sort of
constitution. This was known as
the Articles of Confederation,
was adopted by Congress in
1777, and was sent to the thir-
teen states for their approval.
However, one state, Maryland,
refused to ratify it until 1881.
Then the Articles of Confedera-
ton went into effect, practical
ly at the end of the Revolution.
Under these articles, the
states kept nearly all of the
power. There was no president
of the country. Delegates to
were officers of the
states, not of the United States.
No law could be made unless
at least nine Of the thirteen
states voted in favor of it, so
very few laws were made. Con-
gress was not given the power
to raise money. It could only
that each state pay
its share of whatever was need
ed.
Such a government can hard
ly be called a government at

It should interest these who worry about government expendi- lures that the Agriculture Depart ment has been haggling lately with its most stubborn customer-the Army The argument is a famil- jar one in the grocery business. Agriculture has some surplus stocks on its hands that it would like to sell-dried fruits, dried eggs, sweet potatoes and peanuts But the Army is frugal buyer and won't pay the prices.
 Agriculture argues that the Army is in no position to quibble over prices with starving people to feed in occupied areas, points cut that the Army's duty is to lay hands cn any food it can get. Be- sides, isn't it more practical to buy up goods that will help both Europe and America at the same time?
 But the Army complains that it's budget is running low as a re-

 Now it looks as if Congress may step in and settle the controversy. At the backstage prompting ot Senator Carl Hayden, Arizona Democrat, the Senate agreed tc make surplus foods available fol overseas relief at the same price per calory as wheat. If the reso- lution passes, Congress will make up the losses to the Agriculture Department.

BEST FRIEND OF USA

Senator Warren Austin of Yer mont, now '. s. delegate to the United Nations, arose in the clos ing session of the Assembly and paid tribute to great American -Oswaldo Aranha of Brazil.
 The average newspaper reader might not think of the former Brazilian foreign minister as an American, because we have the bad habit of thinking that only North Americans are Americans. But not only is Aranha a great Ameri- can-whether North or South but he has been one of the great est friends of the United States.
 Time after time during the early stages of the war, when the Braz- ilian Army and even President Vargas were convinced the U. S forces would not recover from the crippling blow at Pearl Harhor, Ar anha forced them to give vita 1 Brazilian military bases to tht tUS.A. Time after time he threw his weight behind U. s. requests that Brazil clean cut Nazi agents and the Jap colonies in Sac Paulo
 At the recent United Nations meeting, Aranha as President did more than any other one man to pilot the Assembly through ! the pitfalls of Vishinsky recrim- nations, British vacillationi and Gromyko vetoes. The sometimes wayering U. N. came out stronger and healthier for Aranha's wise leadership
 Senator Austin, who has done a lot for the United Nations himself had good reason to know all this The only thing that might have been added to Austins tribute i! that if anyone deserves the Nobe Peace Prize next year. it will bt Oswaldo Aranha for his great work as President of the United Ma. tionS

 The bill was passed by the House last session but now rests in the Senates Committee Public Lands Senator Butler and other Congressmen who visited Alaska last summer and fall could not fail to be im- pressed by the testimony against the measure from not only Chambers of Commerce but veterans or ganzations in Alaska who label the measure fraud.
 The legislation proposes to award veterans home steads of from 32O 1920 for the purposes Of farming fur farming, grazing, timber production or any combination of such.
