Still Need Rain

LTHOUGH the last month may have
- appeared seasonable the need for rain
to fill the rivers and replenish the water
reservoir is becoming serious. Except for
few thunder storms Of short duration no
amount of rain has fallen. The rivers are
quite low, and rainfall rushes off at a rapid
rate since 50 much of the watershed has
been affected by removal of the woods. Like
other spots in the United States, and for
that matter worldwide, our water table is
considerably below normal.
A good soaking rain right now would
be welcomed and then let it be until after

Russian Sub Navy

CECRETARY OF THE NAVY, Charles
S. Thomas estimated recently the Rus
slams possess about $50 submarines A short
time later, Rear Admiral W. G. SCHNEIDER,
assistant-Chief of Naval Operations, upped
the figure to 400.
The Germans began World War II with
only fraction of that number of sub
Marines AT their peak strength, the Ger
mans had only about as many submar-
ines as Admiral SCHNEIDER believes the Rus
SLAMS now have Thus, the Russian under
seas fleet is serious threat to T. S. mari
time strength, which is now wasting away
again-as it always does between wars
1t must be kept in mind that the Navy
has played the Russian submarine menace
for all that it is worth since World War II.
Unfortunately, the Russians do not, have
much of a surface navy and this has left
Pentagon Admirals with little material
with which to scare money out Of the
appropriations committees.
There are indications that Russian sub
marine strength is growing but there are
few indications that the Russians are max
ing an all-out bid to build and maintain a
submarine fleet very much larger than the
400-unit fleet they now possess. (The Unit
ed States at present is estimated to have
about half as many submarines as Russia. J
The answer to the steadily growing
Russian submarine force lies in larger
numbers of anti-submarine aircraft and
more surface vessels. That is what the
Navy was deficient in when World War II
engulfed the United States.

And With darkness enshrouds eorhs old breast
Then bonished are the strdent sounds Of day
In the calm quietude Of peaceful rest
Then Diono's moon in beouty unveiled
Climbs mojesticoIly up through the sky
While in her spender the bright stors grow dim
And in boshfuness hide as she goes BY
Night yelled trees that stond ground the grave yard
And guard the quiet seepers through the night
Merge from son1bre gorb to shining silver
Changed by the magic Of her mellow light
The common daylight scenes, quite drob and plain,
BY the enchontment of her yellow beams,
Are transformed by her ethereal beauty
