The most exciting and dangerous
part of 2.200-mile motor trip was the
ride from Baltimore to Washington over

right turn off the main highway
which was free of trucks However,
on leaving Baltimore, trucks were an

heavens thunder with their coarse
shouts that Christianity is not true
Around this spinning globe the
speaking air is being loaded with the
proclamations of these two philoso-
phieS. The Communists with all the
megaphoneS of propaganda insist that
the world, and all in it and about it,
are basically masses of matter, material
in motion. Christianity insists that
the world is baSically God in motion
That faith will never be vindicated by
hurting anathemas at atheiStic COM
munism. That Christianity is true will
never be proved by augmentation. but
by incarnation. Those who believe in
spiritual verities need not fear COM
muniSm incarnated if it can be matched
and met by Christianity incarnated
But, tragically, this most terrific of all
attacks upon a spiritually based uni
verse has found the church divided
and weak in its witnessing.
X
One of the keenest and most Spiritu-
ally minded of today'S church leaders
declares: THE fact is that the greatest
seculariSm without; it is the reduced,
pallid, anemic Christianity within. True
Christianity has faith as dynamic as
the faith of any MARKHAM Communist.
1t is faith that makes disciples and
missionaries and martyrs"
It may be true, AS recently has been
said in high places, that there will have
to be some ''flexibility" in dealing with
the Far East. so far as political ar
rangements are concerned; but SO far
as our fundamental faith is concerned,
we cannot bulge an inch Truth de-
mands victory, not truce Moreover,
we've got to believe our creed-not just
from the top of our minds, but from
the bottom of our hearts.
You can't come within celestial hail
ing distance of understanding the in
spring faith of Syngman Rhee Of Ko-
rea until with that great Christian you
understand what the issues of this
global fight really are. If those he faces
at close range are right, then religion
OF every brand is stupid, unscientific,
superStitiouS, "the opiate of the peo-
ple," and churches are but the deposi-
tories of fossils.
But Christianity is the truth The
universe is with it. The very stars in
their courses fight for it. The gates of
hell cannot prevail against it. Any So
called faith based on materialism,
which aSsails it, betrays it, denies it,
tries to destroy and supersede it, is
doomed. Vachel Lindsay puts it all in
four ringing, stirring lines:
This is our faith tremendous,
Our 1Uild hope 1Uto shall scorn,
That in the name of Jesus
The Uorld shall be reborn.

To Repair Westminster Abbey

The Stars recent report on the con-
dition Of Westminster Abbey in Lon
don is most distressing. The sight of
a beautiful church is always inspiring.
I suggest that we put coin receptacles
in our taverns and drugstores for the
restoration of this worthy object. II
this idea should not take, maybe our
Congress will pass bill to take care
of this matter. It also would be nice
to have Washington Cathedral and
the Shrine of the Immaculate Concep-
ton in Brookland completed

ming very close together when the car
ahead stopped suddenly The first
truck was able to stop with just hit
ting the car slightly, but the second
truck was not so fortunate in that it's
front was completely demolished The
driver was very lucky he was able to
stand after he was released from his
cab.
There are many signs warning trucks
not to pass, and the speed limit for
trucks is less than passenger cars. If
the highways are to be made safe for
both trucks and automobiles, trucks
should be forced to remain safe dis
tance from the car ahead while travel
ing at high speeds. Lower the speed
limit for trucks and allow them to pass
other vehicles at fewer points along
the road.

Cautions Republicans

The Republicans should now get
their history books and study what
has caused our major depressions. 1t
seems that they have forgotten COM
pletely what they should have learned
many years ago, in the days Of their
youth. Let us turn the pages back
now and review the facts.
/. Every major depression has been
caused primarily because farmers have
not prospered. Today many farmers
are receiving a sustenance living be-
cause they are receiving an inadequate
price for their produce, this including
our leading agricultural interests, the
beef cattle farmer and the dairy
farmer.

tients and for research in the never
ceasing effort to stamp out this Grip
ping disease.
IF and when our own funds should
be exhausted by an epidemic, which
we do not expect, the National
Foundation will forward to us as
much as is needed here to care for
county polio patients.
''The money thus forwarded
would be from funds contributed to
the March of Dimes in other local
tiles, just as we in Washington Coun-
ty contribute to the National Founda-
ton so that aid may be sent else
where if needed.
Our new address in Ilagerstown
is Room Ala, Professional Arts

ly unable to meet the medical costs,
the bills will be paid"

pecially local and state Chambers of
Commerce, attention will be center
ed on helping bring in new indus

industrial buildings often attract in
dustry. They can be listed with the
nearest district manager of the Po-
tomac Edison System, for Mr.. At
woods attention. Prospects devel-
oped will be referred to the owner
for negotiation.
Mr.. Atwood's appointment further
enlarges these activities of The Po-
tomac Edison System, which have
been carried on for many years. In
his work Atwood will report to the
General Commercial Manager, S. S.
Bradford.
Mr.. Atwood, who is graduate of
Virginia Polytechnic Institute, has
had working experience with several
phases of the Company's operation,
well fitting him for his new office.
He started with Pc in 1887 in the
Hagerstown District as a civil en-
gineer. In later years he held the
posts of transmission engineer and
transportation engineer for the Blue
Ridge Bus Lines. In 81 he took over
the duties of general passenger agent
for Blue Ridge = a post somewhat
similar to his new position as it
called for the development of trans
portation business within company

Rev. Charles LEI ew
Is Kiwanis Speaker
Gives Humorous Talk On "Dis-
located Bones" At Weekly
Meeting.

Meeting.
Rev. Charles M. LeFew. pastor of
the Washington Square Methodist
Church, entertained the members
of the Kiwanis Club with humorous
talk, 'Dislocated Bones" at the reg
ular weekly luncheon meeting, held
at the Hotel Alexander on Thursday.
He was introduced by Mr.. P. J. Pot
ter.
President Oscar HartSock presided
and the program was arranged by
the Public Relations Committee, of
which Maxwell Greenwald is chair
man.
Reverend LeFew, who interspers-
ed his talk with number of hui
morous stories, told his audience
that one way of "dislocating bones"
was having the jaw bone where the
skull ought to be-" In this connec-
ton he pointed out that, while most
everyone claims that they have the
right to their own opinion, too many
people voiced their opinions without
having the real facts to base them
on.
Another dislocation, he said, was
having the crazy bone where the
funny bone ought to be-" and he
pointed this dislocation UP with a
number of humorous anecdotes. il
Illustrating his point that it is better
to laugh at, and with, people, than
to be sensitive and easily offended.
His third and final dislocation was
that of having the wish bone where
the backbone ought to be-" which,
Mr.. LeFew stated, simply meant
that what was needed today, was less
wishful thinking and more back
bone with which to get out and
fight for the things in life that are
really worthwhile.
