minded fans. We changed our
plans, finding our theatre crowd

club out at Forbes Air Force Base.
Back in the iall of last year, 1856.
lessons were given to interested
persons in square dancing. One OF
the members of my weekly bridge
club had often mentioned their
square dancing group and invited
us TO come out and watch. The
class gets together every other Fri

per and then tries out their new
steps with a caller" from in town.

The girls all wore full skirts and
their husbands had shirts to match
their mates colorful attire.
couldn't get over how authentically
they were dressed with full petit
coats and even pantaloons. Every
one certainly was having fun, in
cluding us.
Do hope April will bring us some
normal weather so we can enjoy
our yards out here in the midwest.
You have had pretty decent wea-
ther according to reports from
home. My brother and his family
have been out in his new speed
boat and / hear from my sister
that she has had her new baby
out for strolls on nice sunny days.
Blow some of that weather this
way, will you?
Until next week.

HISTORIC APRIL

The month of April has long been associ-
ated with the wars of the United States, but
it also brings the anniversary of some other
rather important events.
April is the anniversary month of the
beginning and the end Of the War Between
the States, which began on April II, 1861,
in Charleston Harbor, and ended four years
later, on April 9th, at Appomattox, Va.
April also gives us, on the 9th, the ami
versary of the declaration of war upon Ger
many in 1917, when the destiny of the Uni
ted States carried it's armed forces across the
Atlantic.
In connection with other wars, it should
not be overlooked that President Mckinley,
on April IL, 1898, called upon Congress to
intervene in Cuba and that war was inaugu-
rated two weeks later by a formal declara-
ton.
The War of the Revolution began at Lex
ington, Massachusetts, on April 19, ITS.
Eight years LATER cessation of hOStiitieS was
proclaimed to the American Army and the
war came to an end.
The other anniversaries to which we refer
include that of the first pony express, which
moved out of the frontier settlement of St.
Joseph, Missouri, on April 3, 1860. The first
fOrmally-organizedg government IN the lie North
west took place at Marietta, Ohio, on April
z, 1888, when forty-seyen veterans of the
Revolutionary War, under General Rufus
Putnam, founded the city on the river bank.
Other events of considerable Importance
in the history of this nation occurred during
April, including the birth of Thomas Jeffer-
son, on the 18th, the death of Abraham Lin
coin on the 18th, the landing of the first per-
nlanent English settlers at Jamestown, on
April 26, 1907, and the Inauguration of
George Washington as the first President of
the Republic on April 80, 1889.

SHIPS ON ORDER

AS of January /, 1856 the head of one of
our steamship lines points out, there were on
order in United States shipyards some 312,-
900 gross tons of shipping. Just one year
later, on January l of this year, 100000
gross tons were on order, whopping in
crease of about 700 per cent. This gives an
idea of what the shipping industry estimates
the logistical demands of the world are going
to be in the years ahead. Incidentally, that
tremendous building program will bring sub
stantial orders to suppliers in every state of
the union, with the beneficial influence that
will have on employment incomes, and pur-
chasing power everywhere.
He then dealt clearly with the subsidy
program, under which upwards of 40 per
cent of the construction costs will be paid by
the government. That figure is, roughly, the
current differential in cost between equiva-
lent ships built in American and foreign
yards 1t is paid directly to our yards, and
the purpose is to keep the American ship
building industry alive, as an essential fac
tor in our national defense and our economic
welfare. By the same token, the government
pays the lines an operating subsidy, which is
primarily the differential between United
States and foreign costs in such categories
as crew wages, supplies and repairs.
These differential payments are made
under very strict conditions. A fixed number
of voyages must be made each year over pre-
determined routes. No profit is assured and
no loss secured against. The operator cannot
sell his vessels nor shift them without con-
sent of the Maritime Administration Final
ly, so per cent of any-net- profits over 10 per
cent are returned to the government, to off
set the subsidies. None of the many other
subsidies our government makes carry such
stipulations.
We must have an American-fag merchant
marine. We are assuring that in the most
efficient and economical way possible.

Babson Park, Mass, April 4.
My father was a country banker in
have great respect for bankers.
Gloucester, Mass. 1t is safe to
trust a banker for the protection of
your deposit. His first and fore
most aim is to protect the money
which you leave with him. Based
on my large acquaintance with
leading bankers all over the world,
| unequivocally support their 1003o
desire to protect your savings.
Furthermore, barring ravages OF
war over which they have no con-
troll, they will give you back every
dollar you deposit with them.
Never criticize banker for refus-
ing to make loan.
What About Imitation?
When you draw your dollars out
of a bank, whether your dollars
will buy as much in food, clothing,
and shelter as they would have
when you put them in is another
question. The bankers have little
control over what your dollars
will buy in the future. 1t, however,
is only fair to say that the bankers
are fighting imitation in every poss-
ible way. Initiation hurts not only
the value of your deposits but also
the value of every bond which the
bank holdsi
furthermore, it should be re-
membered that a banker should
naturally be conservative. 1t is said
that cnly one thing is more easily
frightened than a banker,-name-
~, a pair of bankers. Bankers
Drag CT their deposits; but the
greater their deposits, the more
hey owe! In their hearts they rea-
ize that deposits represent debts.
The depositors sit in the drivers
,eat. The depositors of any bank
could close the bank in a week.
Hence, | repeat we should not
blame bankers for being cautious.

VULNERABLE II. S. A.

Despite the fact that atomic bombs have
been exploding since 1945-and that is twelve
years ago-the United States today is the
most vulnerable to atomic attack of all the
major nations, with the possible exception of
Great Britain.
The British can do very little about their
situation, which is aggravated by the small
ness of the island and its nearness to Europe
However, they may have already done more
than the United States.
In this country, our armament industry
is concentrated in metropolitan areas and an
atomic attack on many Of our defense plants
and industrial cities, where so much of our
industry is located, would cause untold havoc
and destruction.
In spite of this obvious fact, no one has
been able to face the terrific problem of build
ing sufficient underground facilities, factor
les and shelters to carry on a war effort in
case we are surprised by an enemy attack
The Civil Defense effort in the United States
is fine, as far as it goes, but nc one has given
Civil Defense enough thought or enough push
to actually prepare this country for eventu-
aities which will occur in case of sudden
attack.
Russia has repeatedly made far greater
preparation for surviving atomic attacks
than the United States. Russia is reported to
have many factories IN the Ural Mountains,
widely dispersed, and the Russian economy
could probably function more efficiently af-
ter an atomic attack than could ours. The
Russians also have natural advantage of
greater area, and this makes it all the more
advisable for the United States to safeguard
its industrial centers. This has not been DONE
it not being done and probably will not be
done sufficiently in the near future.
We are once again trusting to luck faith
and the stars which may be neutral.

April Fools Day, 1857

April ROOF Ody, 100 8
Dear Friends:
One day this week Lynne, our
ten-year-old, came home with an
acute case. of itching. / gave her
a soda bath and covered her with
Caladrill and she seemed improved,
but the following morning she was
completely covered with spots and
blotches again. After the base doc
tor had checked her over he dag
nosed her itching as an acute case
of hives. IL seems every seven
years our oldest daughter has to
have this attack. When we were
civilians and living in Milford, DIR.
Lawrence Fitchett had to give her
a shot for hives resulting from an
accumulation of orange juice for
breakfast, tomato soup for lunch
and Strawberries for dinner This
time Lynne's hives were the end
result of eating one boiled egg.
Much of this week has been
spent in gardening and most of the
time in rainy, windy weather
Hayes pilot again presented him
with some more trees and so like
good citizens, on Arbor Day we
tried to give these new trees a
fresh stert in Kansas soil. We've
planted some shrubbery and got
ten some ideas from local nurser-
les of what would look well in our
planned landscape.

FATHERS DAY

Although it is quite a while until we
reach Fathers Day, bill has been intro
duced in the Senate to make Fathers Day a
legalized national holiday. We have no par
ticular objection to the bill, and it follows
naturally that someone would introduce such
a bill since Fathers Day has not been legal
holiday, although Mothers Day has been
legal national holiday since 1917.
In other words, it seems that fathers are
seeking equal rights with the mothers. Whe-
ther they deserve it or not, we will not get
into that question. However, we are inclined
to believe that those fathers who bring home
the bacon probably deserve it, especially if
they cook it when they get home.
The trouble with a special day, of which
there are too many, is that some hot-rod pro-
motional group gets hold of the special day
and promotes it into commercial bonanza.
This, and commercial promotions of all kinds,
center around national day and some COM
mittee is set up in larger city, with a nice
office and big staff, and feeds off the national
observance.
But, just for the record, we will say we
are in favor of a national legalized Fathers
Day observance, which-of course-will not
chance the natnre nf the observance at ALL

SPRING OFFERS BEAUTY

Without going into the scientific explana-
tion and without knowing too much about the
revolutions of the sun around the earth and
the inclination of the earths axis, we pause
long enough to welcome the advent of what
is perhaps the loveliest exhibition of nature.
The dead hand of Winter is loosening its
grip upon the earth and the vegetable world
is making ready to stage the greatest spec
tacle that man ever witnesses. The elixir also
affects animals and men as physical bodies
appear refreshed for further earthly exis-
tence
When we witness the apparent resurg-
ence of vital forces, we are prone to seek
moral and to grasp hope. All that is GER
tain however, is that the inexorable laws of
nature continue their inevitable procession,
inviting men and women to enjoy the delight
full experience and to seek an understanding
of its Fundamental, cause.
As nature dresses herself in beautiful col
ors in this section, we like to think that hu-
man beings will refurnish their habitations
and brighten the areas upon which they
dwell Men and women feel the urge to chal-
lenge nature is a contest of beauty
In fields and gardens they begin to plant,
expecting to reap the harvest that attends
their efforts. House cleaning, house painting
and the Identification of towns and cities
seem to be logical enterprises for us as nature
paints her panorama of riotous color and
bloom

Working Hard To Ready Tigers For
Seasons Opener Here Saturday Mite
Predict Record Crowd to Witness Contest

Their first week of practice
over, the Jackson State College
Tigers faced the possibility of
sitter practice sessions this week
as they prepared to meet Mis-
sissippi Industrial College Sat-
urday, September 81, in their sea-
sons opener. All Coach John Mer-
rift and his aides have to do to
get ready for this their first of
eight tough games is to find re-
placements for five starters in
the line who were graduated last
spring Or who completed their ELI
gibility and two who were in last
seasons starting backfield. Added
to the misery of such a situation
is the fact that four players upon
whom Merritt was depending
heavily to fill some of these vacan-
cies did not return to school for
various reasons. Floyd Valentine,
190-pound center from Gadsden,
Alabama; Walter Parker, 215-
pound end from Paris, Kentucky,
who was being groomed for one
of the tackles; John King, 49,
pound fullback from Mt. Sterl-
ing, Kentucky, who did not see
very much action last season be-
cause of injuries; and Leon Full
Ter, 191-pound fullback from Vicks-
burg, did not report for practice
last week. Gone by way of gradua-
ton or completion of eligibility are
Robert Banks, 190-pound guard
from Starkville; Ralph Bishop, 49,
pound center from Cornith; Charles
Figgs, 190-pound end from George
