series Of unforgettable images of
youth displaying its innate sense
of sportsmanship, comradeIiness.
ingenuity and steady responsible
ity."
There at Valley Forge" he
said I'VE saw the best hope of
human freedom. We saw there
the power and enthusiasm that

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

G1lAa 0Q
The Editor of the Madison Press
London, O.
Dear Sir,
In your paper printed Jan. 20
you printed one article: "U.N.
Advisor is Speaker Here"
If / understand correctly your
first two paragraphs l under
stand that the speaker tried to
give the impression that after all
the "comrnies" aren't such bad
fellows after all.
It is interesting and perhaps
true to form as we'll that he spoke
in Methodist Church. Many
Methodist leaders" seem to be
sympathetic toward such bally-
hoo. In fact in the Methodist
church pastor does not" pro-
test the Pink fringe. Such con-
ditions are deplorable. When
Methodism should be taking an
outstanding lead in the redemp-
tion of men, many are wasting
time indulging in fancies here and
there.

American Non-voter,
Are Civic Grafters,'
DR.. Polling Declares

American citizens who don't 60
to the polls on election day were
termed civic grafters" last night
by DR.. Daniel Polling. president OF
the Christian Herald.
DR.. Polling, Republican candi-
date for Mayor of Philadelphia,
told the General Federation of
Women's Clubs that American
men and women who would not
steal a cent nor misappropriate a
single dollar of a trust fund, take
their liberties and the protection
Iof their government without pay
ing the price"
This neglect and indifference
in private life nearly always keeps
step with delinquencies in public
life," DR.. Polling declared.
Cites Low Turnout.
Speaking at the groups board of
directors meeting in the Hotel
Statler, DR.. Polling pointed out
that frequently less than one third
of the electorate votes in the pri-
mary and generally less than 60
per cent go to the polls on cleo
ton day. Right down to the
grass roots of party leadership
women and young citizens should
exercise both the franchise ano
leadership" he said.
The board of directors three
day meeting was to end this morn
ing after representatives lay a
wreath at the Tomb of the Un-
known Soldier at ceremonies
scheduled to begin at 1915
o'clock.
