Dear Parents:

Dear Parents:
 How great is your interest in the service being rendered by the most important institution in your community for the spiritual guidance of the young YOUR CHURCH SUNDAY SCHOOLS? Have you even Investigated to see for yourself how great is the blessing to the child and to the community whole, result of instruction from Gods Holy Book?
 Do you realize that herein lies the solution to the problem of juvenile delinquency?
 Listen to the testimony of these famous law en- forcement officers:
 Supreme Court Justice Faucett declared that 'out of four thousand boys brought before him in tWenty-one years, not more than three were mem bers of Sunday School at the time of their crime Judge Marcus Kavanaugh, Chicago, says: We would have few criminals in the country if the fath CTS of families would every week have heart to heart talk with their children about God and His care for them.
 J. Edgar Hoover of FBI. fame says: "JuveniIe delinquency must be met in the home and in the community. All persons who bear the title of par ent" have the personal responsibility to see that their children are growing up fully appreciative of the rights of God and of their fellow man." Parents the responsibility for your childs spirit ua instruction rests upon you. The churches Of Nome are here to serve you. Bring your children to Sunday School next Sunday.

Manufacturers To
Hear D. Nj. Molthrop

David M. Molthrop, Director of
Employment Sterilization for the
National Association of Manufacture
ers, will be the guest speaker at a
meeting of the Hagerstown Manu-
facturers' Bureau, Thursday, Feb
ruary II, to be held in the Chalet
Room of the Hotel Alexander at

Mr.. Molthrop has had extensive
experience in employment and in
dustrial relations problems, having
handled employment stablization for
the U. S. Steel Corporation, the Car
negie-Illinois Steel Corporation and
the U. S. Gypsum Corporation, be-
sides many others. Through the
use of some of his techniques these
firms saved millions of dollars, and
during the course of his lecture, the
speaker will touch on the techniques
he used and will also tell of the
program of employment sterilization
of the National Association of Man
ufacturerS, of which he is in charge.
In connection with this work Mr..
Molthrop has, during the past two
years, held some 300 meetings in As

WITH THE EDITOR

rule apply for the Board of County
Commissioners as is now on the
Statute books for the members of
the County Delegation and the State
Senate. The Bill, however, was held
up by the County Delegation and
died in the lower House.
Senator Mclaughlin has introduc-
ed similar Bill at this session, and
it will be interesting to see what
happens to it this time.
You will remember that after the
last County election, the Board of
County Commissioners consisted of
four Republicans and one Democrat,
but when one of the Republican
members died, Governor Lane ap-
pointed Democrat to fill the vac
ancy, with the result that there are
now three Republicans and two
Democrats on the Board. And of
course, should another vacancy oc-
cur before the next election, it is
quite reasonable to suppose that the
Governor would again appoint a
Democrat, in which case you would
have a Board of County Commits
sioners with Democratic majority,
despite the fact that it was the will
of the voters that the affairs of the
County should be governed by a
Republican Board.
To me there seems no rhyme or
reason for refusing to place the
Board of County Commissioners -
who are elected by the people - on
the same basis with regard to vac
ancies as our Representatives in the
House of Delegates in Annapolis
and in the State Senate.

Reverend Keller Gives Inspiring Address
At Sunday Night Forum Meeting Here

"One-fourth of the people of the
world have been taken into slavery
since the end of World War II, and
this has been accomplished by less
than one per cent of humanity work
ing through hatred of God"
This was the challenging state
ment Of the Rev. James Keller, M.
M, head of the movement known
as "The Christrophers," as he be-
gan his address at the Sunday Night
Forum sponsored by ST. Mary's
Catholic. Church which was held in
the ballroom of the Hotel Alexander
on Sunday evening".
Commenting on his appalling state
ment, the Reverend Father said that
if just one percent of the worlds
ordinary decent people would work
as hard, through the love of God, to
instill the love of those God-given
rights contained in the Declaration
of Independence and the Bill of
Rights, then the world can be saved
from complete disintegration.
Touching on the subject of Com
munism, the speaker stated that COM
munism is only the effect, not the
cause, of the worlds major troubles
today. Hatred of God," he said, lis
the underlying motive force And
this hatred, the speaker pointed out,
has already created in our own coun-
try such general disintegration, that
there are eight million people in
mental hospitals, with an estimated
ten million more who should be
there; seventeen per cent of the re-
Jections by Selective Service were
because of illiteracy and mental dis
orders; eleven out of every twelve
children are not attending any
church; divorces equal marriages in
many communities; sixty thousand
illegitimate children have been born
to girls under fourteen; and sta
tistics also show that there are three
times as many young people in penal
institutions as there are in COL
leges and universities.
Going into the purpose of 'The
Christophers," Father Keller stated
that each Christopher works as an
individual, He takes out no mem
bership, pays no dues and attends

no meetings, but tens of thousands
of these men and women have al
ready gone as Christ-bearers into
the market place. Quietly but effec-
lively opposing the false teachings
of Communism, they work through
parent-teacher groups, labor unions,
boards of education and the like,
encouraging people to become teach
ers, to enter government, to write
books, movie script, radio shows, ETC.,
that emphasize, in a positive way,
the knowledge that every human be-
ing is child of God, deriving his
rights from God and not from the
state
1T is interesting to note," Father
Keller stated, "that only in nine
states is the Declaration of Indepen-
dence required teaching in schools,
and with out the Declaration of In
dependence our Constitution would
be null and void" And while on
the subject of schools, the speaker
also pointed out that six thousand
schools in the nation have been
closed because of lack of teachers.
This situation can be overcome"
the speaker said, 'by getting people
to feel that they must put some
thing into the life as well as taking
something from life. So many
people,, he added, want to do the
right thing-why not encourage
them?"
At the present time over 10000
people are receiving 1.-THE Chris
TOPPER News Notes and other liter
allure, but the aim of the movement
is to have million men and women
as active members-men and women
of all religious faiths, banded to-
gether to restore the fundamental
truth that every human being is a
child of God, deriving his rights from
God and not from the state.
It was obvious that every one of
the packed audience that heard the
address was not only deeply moved,
but completely in sympathy with the
Christopher movement, and this was
evidenced by the repeated question
during the question and answer per-
iod of the forum-''What can my or
ganization do to help"
