Do you know the name of the
man who lived 969 years? Who
built a great ship on dry land, and
took 120 years to do it in? Do you

Senate Cloakroom
By J, GLENN BEALL
United States Senator from
Maryland

Dear Friends:
The Senate last week passed the
,85O,0OO,OOO emergency housing
bill, the two-fold purpose of which
was: % to stimulate business and
employment, and ~ to provide
more and better houses for our
citizens.
The bill adopted was essentially
that which came out of the Banking
and Currency Committee, of which
| am a member. There is every
indication that the House will pass
this anti-recession measure soon.
For my constituents in Mary
land, | should like to summarize its
provisions, underscoring some of
the effects it will have on our
economy.
First of all, it is designed to pro-
duce minimum of 100000 houS-
ing units. Some have estimated that
number may go as high as 300,-
600 units.

questionably, in these critical days
of co-eXistence, the boundaries be-
tween freedom and slavery are
not clearly delineated. Thus some
bond of mutual security to meet
the onrush of engulfing atheistic
communism is imperatively desir-
able and has distinct advantages
which are difficult to equate to
dollars and cents. But, these alli-
ances for common defense have in
creasingly extended far beyond
their original intent and encompass
economic projects of dubious pur-
pose and worth.
Present programs again contem-
plate grants to Poland and Yugo-
slavia. Russia's unashamed allies,
and to India, whose leaders on
every occasion have danced to the
communist tune. Obviously, these
countries could hardly come within
the meaning of the mutual securi-
ty" concept as initially conceived.
And. curiously, Polands defense
budget was enlarged last year by
the exact amount of our benifi-
cence. Rather than helping the cause
of freedom we are solidifying the
political strength of regime which
is bent on destroying US.
Some of our friends among the
community of free nations, through
their own actions have diluted the
vigor and potential of common de-
Tense. Britain and France are clas-
sic examples AS a result of internal
disorder, France could scarcely at
this writing, be counted as relia-
BILE fortress on the chess board of
power politics between east and
west. Through quick acceptance of
the idea of another summit meet
ing with the Russians, at time
when our Government is proceed
ing with justifiable and extreme
caution, England does disservice
to the fundamentals of mutual
security.
An "agonizing reappraisal" of
our international policies has on
more than one occasion been
threatened Now is the time! The
keystone of this re-evaluation
should be the general principle
that the use of force as an instru-
mcnt of national policy is abhor-
rent. Especially, in terms of mutual
security and foreign aid, it should
be made patiently clear to our allies
that further aid will be predicated

Great Thoughts of Religious
Thinkers
Some of the greatest thoughts
preserved for us in books are those
of the great religious thinkers of
the past. Some of my Lenten read
ing has been of these, and | felt
sure my readers would enjoy my
sharing them.
Do not pray for easy lives. Pray
to be stronger men. Do not pray for
tasks equal to your powers. Pray
for powers equal to your tasks
Phillips Brooks.
If you want your neighbor to
know what the Christ spirit will
do for him, let him see what it
has done for you-Beecher.
The greatest thing a man can do
for his Heavenly Father is to be
kind to some of his other children
-Drummond.
All highers motives, conceptions,
sentiments in a man are of no ac-
count if they do not come forward
to strengthen him for the better
discharge of the duties which
devolve upon him in the ordinary
affairs of life.-Beecher.
When l consider what some
books have done for the world and
what they are doing, how they
keep up our hope. awaken new
courage and faith, soothe pain,
give an ideal life to those whose
hours are cold and hard, bind to-
gether distant ages and foreign
lands, create new worlds of beauty,
bring down truth from heaven; l
give eternal blessings for this gift,
and thank God for books-James

PRIVATE TRADE INSTRUCTION

DURING DECEMBER an advertisement for voca-
tional training appeared in this paper. It was over the
signature Of George R. Beckles, Jrs and offered such
courses as fundamentals of woodworking, electricity,
and even blueprint reading and mechanical drawing.
THE E. is A good che. but no oldster in these
parts would ever think he would live to see the day
when such classes would be called for. st. Croix, and in
fact, these Islands on the whole, provided for vocational
training for it's youth through a system OF apprentice
ships. That was natural since it was strictly European.
It was slow, piecemeal, and had it's serious disadvant-
ages, but it produced results, and for many, many years
the chief method Of training in many OF the trades.
PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS may form classes and
teach whatever seems necessary at the time, and the
thought is noble one. At least it should provide some
organized system Of instruction. What concerns us is
that we should have allowed the opportunity to slip
through our fingers years ago. There was once q voca-
tional school here. It had a program Of study ranging all
the way from college preparatory to the trades, and
agriculture. But the then legislature became so engross-
ed in so many other matters that the opportunity was
lost.
SINCE TT is THAT the system Of apprentices may
be a thing Of the past, and since we must provide train
ing in these trades for our youth, more attention will no
doubt have to be given to it. The first step has already
been made, but close follow up is needed, along with a
sound program which will insure satisfactory results.
ANOTHER STEP should be taken, and that Is the
licensing Of any instruction so as to protect and give the
best possible benefits and advantages to those who pur-
sue these courses. Certainly, those who conduct such
schools and give such training will see the advisability
of it all and the decided advantages to their program
and accept the suggestion gladly. Work done In these
