Everything was destroyed in
Warsaw, demolished in one final
vicious, vindictive act by the
Nazis as they fled before the
advancing Russian army. That
was in the spring, 1945.
Today there are more than
100000 people living again in
Warsaw. The rebuilding of the
city is far from completed but
with the aid of volunteers from
every city, village and part of
the country, it is well under
way. The volunteers come for
a weekend, a week or as long as
they can be spared from their
homes. They are every age,
men and women together, boys
and girls; they are rebuilding
the capitol.
Almost everything Is being
done by hand yet the people are
not content merely with re-
placement of the old. They are
building a subway, for example,
and at the present rate Warsaw
will have a complete subway
system before Chicago.
The people of Poland are CO.
operating in rebuilding their
country to an extent that would
be almost unbelievable to us.
And the rebuilding of the capitol
city is only one of the tasks con-
fronting them.

Only two of Poland's famous
cities were comparatively I'M
touched by the war. One was
Krakow, the Polish cultural
center and site of one of the old
est universities in Europe. The
other is CZeStOchOWa site of the
famous religious shrine to which
pilgrims come every year from
all eastern Europe.
Any Pole will tell you the
story of how these cities hap
pened to be spared,
When the Soviet army came
to the liberation of Krakow and
CzestochoWa the Russians knew
and appreciated what they meant
to the Polish people. They en-
circled and closed in on the
cities too quickly for the Nazis
demolition squads.
Any Pole will tell you this
story of how the Soviet army
saved these two cultural centerS
of the country. Regardless of
their political opinion or other
attitudes toward the U.S.S.R.,
all Poles will tell you that they
appreciate this friendly action of
the Soviet army. They know it
cost Russian lives to preserve
the cities.
Other attitudes toward the
U.S.S.R. are freely expressed.
The principle complaint of the
average Pole is that there is
not enough assistance by the
Soviet Union in supply machine
tools and mechanical farm
equipment, both sorely needed
in Poland. For these and other
machinery products Poland is
at present depending mainly on
Sweden and the other Scandana-
Wan countries.
The average Pole is dissatis-
fled with the balance of trade
between Poland and the U.S.S.R.
but not, as most American be-
lieve, because Russia is draining
Polish industry for its own bene-
fit. Only IA percent of Polish
exports are being sent to Rus
STA while Poland is importing a
greater quantity of goods from
the Soviets. Poles like the bal
ance of trade with the Scandana-
Wan countries better because
their exports to these countries
are greater than their imports.
At present the bulk of PO-
lands exports are in coal and
agricultural products. She is ex-
tremely anxious to import tools
and machinery in order to ex-
plot the industrial potential she
acquired with the annexation
of the ancient Polish territories
of Upper and Lower Silesia at
the end of World War II.
The second half of this series
which will appear in The Stand
ard next week will deal with the
way Poland is organizing to
make the greatest possible use
of her chance to become an in
dustrial country and will take
up the matter of her internal
government structure.

Garment Industry Stresses
importance Of Eve Health

Garment industry. which en-
ploys 10000 people is concentrat-
ed largely in the New York area.
In 1914 the joint board Of dress
makers negotiated an agreement
whereby the employers contributed
three and one-half per cent Of the
payroll for an employee health and
recreation plan.
The eyesight conservation pro-
gram was recommended as q
health aid since this is an industry
where vision is an important fac
tor and a majority Of the workers
do prolonged and close eye work.
A visual survey Of the workers
in the industry was made by the
union health center. And indivi-
duals not passing the test pro-
cedure were referred to the health
center eyesight specialist for ex-
animation and recommendation as
to treatment or fitting Of glasses.
The plan was set up to provide
examinations every two years with
replacement Of lenses as necessary
and the supply Of new frames
every three years.
Immediately after the program
was started the health center was
swamped with patients. II has
reached an operating rate Of 1900
eye examinations a month and
supplies $50 sets Of eyeglasses =

Sentence Sermons
BY REV. FRANK CLARENCE
LOWRY

LOWRY
l. To you, progress toward sue
cess may seem much delayed, but
if your aims are good ones, with
determination you will make the
grade.
2. Those who are looking for
something good must be prepared
for its reception; success doesn't
light on everybody, only those
who make preparation.
3. Real success is founded on
virtues that cannot be bought
there are counterfeits that can be
picked up like diseases that can
be caught.
4. But the kind OF success that
really lasts, is the kind that puts
real first things, first.
5. Any man who tries to reach
success by unrighteous course,
will have plenty of time in his old
age to drink from the cup of re-
morse.
6. The Surest routes to success
are those known as Truth and
Honesty" no dOuble-CrOSsers are
familiar with those highways.
and the crossing fIagmen are men
Of integrity.
T. Success comes by hard work;
it offers no rewards or emolu-
ments to those who think they
can Shirk.
8. The folks who believe in luck
get so far down the road that sue
cess to them begins to fade be-
cause they substituted the wrong
thing for pluck.
9. Real success also hides its
face from those who feel that,
with pull alone, they can evade
hard work and ascend the throne
10. Success, starts with rs" and
ends that way too, and you will
have to possess all of the parts
before success will recognize you.
IL. There will always be many
new and quick ways for doing
many things, but success, like a
good life, does not travel on
wings
IL. Success building is a slow
ly arranged, well planned and
prayerful operation; it is like a
Skyscraper the higher 1t
reaches in architectural perfec-
ton, the stronger and deeper
must be its foundation.
