USO Pal Days brief history was
given in "This Week" for Sunday,
Nov. IA, 1854, "The Town That Got
Mad by Frank Cross, formerly
director of Belleville USO Club and
now director Of the Baltimore USO
Club.
It started, Cross relates, with an
article in "This Week" in August,
1850, in which Belleville, near
Scott Air Force Base, was listed
as tone of the six worst soldiers
towns in the USO."
Belleyille's civic pride was hurt,
but the USO director knew that
from the servicemen's standpoint
Belleville was every bit as bad as
the article stated.
It was a real coffin corner Of
practically every CT offense IN the
book: exorbitant rents, hiked-up
store prices, unfriendly police, COM
pletely Indifferent public officials.
And as a natural result of the
towns hostility, GIa crimes IN the
community were high"
The general response OF the clti-
gems, except the editor of the Belle
vile "News- Democrat" was, Cross
says, to beat their chests self
righteously and deny the allega.

substantiated the charges as did
the USO Club director when ne

Clear View of Controversy

Congratulations on Fred Theroux's

ment controversy which appeared in

objective summary of the pros and
cons of this argument that I have yet
seen in any Eastern newspaper.
was particularly pleased to see some
recognition of the Importance Of water
to the growth and development of the
intermountain West.
You also did a real service in point
ing out the obvious question as to why
we people of the mountain States and
the Bureau of Reclamation would seek
to build a dam in q national park or
monument if better sites were avail
able. Let me assure you that we are
proud of our national parks and monu-
mentS and would not support the Echo
Park site were there any suitable alter
nate that would not throw the total
project out of balance.
In connection with the argument
that power produced at Echo Park will
cost more than its selling price, it is
interesting to note that all of the
privately operated public utilities in the
area are on record offering to purchase
the power at price which will 60 a
long way toward paying the construc-
ton costs of the project. These COM
panies obviously would not do this if
they could produce the power them
selves at less cost.
Congratulations again on the most
objective treatment Of this project.

His Leadership Will Be Missed

Mr.. Cotton has given the commissions anti

tive leadership that was sorely needed to coun-
teract the apathy which so long had held back
plans for improving the condition Of the Po-
tomac. Taking over as director just year after
creation of the agency in l94l, he devoted much
time and effort to arousing interest in the move
ment for sewage treatment facilities and indus
trial waste control. During his term with the
commission he saw all member States pass laws
designed to reduce or eliminate pollution in the

Spires of the Spirit
YOU

Your chief problem is You. It Is quite
easy to generalize, for instance. about
industry education and the church.
But so far as any individual contribu-
ton to the relationships suggested by
this great trio is concerned, it is the
U in industry and the U in education
and the u in church which counts. And,
it might well be added, it is the U in
the United States that tests patriotism.
AS we survey our age and discuss its
complexities and perplexities one Of the
most subtle tricks often played en ones
mind is to have attention so focused on
the problems Of the wide earth that the
one peering through the telescope
forgets that he. too. is in the picture.
A very great American was accustomed
to say to the large audiences he adj
dressed that. while across the years he
had had to deal with the problems Of
many people, he had had more trouble
with himself than with any person he
had met.
We are accustomed to speak of the
times in which we live as "our age"
In that blurred generality our own per-
sonality becomes merged in the mass.
We are likely to think of ourselves
standing off, as an observer. and COIN
ing various labels which seem appro-
PIRATE as characterizing the passing
scene. If our revolutionary day were
as proficient in prescribing the cure for
what ailS our sick social order as it is
in inventing names for the disease,
there would be more hope Of reaching
our modern malady. There seem to be
too many experts in diagnosis and too
Few physicians who have balm in
Gilead to make the wounded whole"
AS we stand at the wailing walls of
our troubled times, they seem as fun
OF discounting labels as the highway
billboards are of disf1guring, screaming
advertisements. We join in the chorus
Of those who call this a time of terror
and trembling, time when the very
moral foundations seem to be moved.
time when materialism and secular
ism are eating out the very moral fiber
OF civilization.
At an important religious gathering
an outstanding church leader was
describing the contemporary scene as
it looked to him. In the picture he
so vividly painted there were no tints,
just shades. His adjectives tolled like
funeral bells. AS graphically he por-
trayed the disillusionment and frus-
tration of this postwar era, with
conflict won and a peace lost, he de-
picted the terrors and horrors of today
and the ominous threats which shadow
the future. AS he went on in somber
tones, even the lights in the great,
crowded hall seemed to grow dim. One

generation seem to hear naught but
the drum beat by which our civilization
moves toward Dooms-Day. But the
date with destiny need not have catas-
trophe as its destination, as have so
many systems which have had their
day and ceased to be. Whether the
new world which is now taking shape
before our eyes is to be the earth of
the redemption, in which shall dwell
Righteousness, or merely another fu-
tility and bungle, so marred and mis-
shapen by clumsy. blundering human
hands that God will ultimately have
to blot it out and start to build on yet
another plan, rests with this genera
ton. But let it never be forgotten that,
whatever be the direction taken, the
goal is reached on human feet. It Is
becoming more and more clear that the
hope of the future is not in reshuffiing
social forces and factors, so that the
underprivileged will become the privi-
legged and the underdog the top dog.
Escape from the chaos which threatens
lies not in some social juggernaut fiat
tening everything out, with dictator
in the drivers seat. but in resolute null
titudes who heed the Creators dictum,
Son of man. stand upon thy feet!"
This Is time to remember that not
in the chanceries Of the nations but in
the hearts and minds of individual men
and women are the issues of life and
death. If the best elements of our
civilization are to be saved. they will
be saved, not by tanning fires Of ha-
tired for dictators abroad or by social
panaceas at home, but by individuals.

Speciol Day for Armenions

wish to submit q brief declaration
which appeared In the Hairenik Weekly.
May 81. 1854. This declaration is made
in the name of all freedom-loving
Americans of Armenian extraction
whose blood brothers sacrificed so much
in order to create an independent coun-
try after nearly 600 years Of subjuga-
ton, only to be lost once again when
Soviet Russia sent reinforcements to
enslave the budding Armenian repub-
lie. Since then, the gallant and free
dom Loving Armenians throughout the
world have persistently observed the
anniversary of independent republic
as one of their great national holidays.
This declaration of independence
day reads:
Thirty six years ago, on the memo
rable day of May %, 1918. a nation met
it's date with destiny. It's fighting men
arrayed against the enemy, the cheers
of the free world ringing in their ears,
the embattled patriots Of Armenia
forged the Lexington and Concord OF
Asia Minor. There, at Bash Abaran.
at Karakilliseh, at Sartarabat. in the
midst Of shot and shell, nation threw
off its bond. reafdrmed its right to
live, and sanctified the struggle for
sovereign dignity and freedom. There,
as the foe fed the bloody conflict. a
nation was reborn, republic was de-
creed, a phoenix raised its head again
from out of the ashes Of centuries Of
suppression and immolation. The dec
laration of independence Of Armenia was
a twentieth century miracle, tribute
and lesson. All glory to the uncon-
querable spirit Of a nation which re-
fuses to bow and scrape before the
mailed boots of the tyrant! A people
like this cannot long and permanently
suffer the cord of bondage. The free
state of Armenia shall again be-"
