ROAD TO
 PEACE

New York has oftentimes been called the Gateway to Americas The Statue of Liberty rises out of New York harbor as "a symbol of freedom, offering security and future happiness to thousands of i'm mi grants arriving in the United States.
 There are many people in foreign la nds, however, who have no oppor tunity to come to the United States, see our fam ous statue and enjoy the blessings she symbolizes
 They gain their impressions of Amer ica from the actions of Ameri cans in their land. More than anyone else, the servi ceman overseas represents, by his actions and conduct, the American way of lifeo
 Vice President Nixon so clearly point Jed out that ".. ..as peoples know peoples, jas distinguished from governments know ing. governments, which is also important there is no question but that we will find the road to peace." Everyone of us, by his courtesy and kindness to these peoples, can be an am :bassador of good will end present the United States in it's true light to the peoples of the world.

 Co. and the same God that gave. us life, gave us liberty at the same time..
 It's doubtful that every American ;knoWs how much the way we live today is influenced by the life and thought of a statesman whose birthdate we observe B April.
 That man is Thomas Jerfferson, third President of the United States. It was in his Lifetime, l7A3 to 1926, that our nation came into being, and it in Mthe work of his life, including the Dec Narration of Independence, that much of :our nation's future was formed.
 In l77A he wrote that ".. the same God that gave us life, gave us liberty at the same u inc. 70" In that phrase, freedom is pictured God-given right some thing that automa ti cal1y belongs to- anyone who happens to be aliveo
 There was another side of Jefferson's s. thought, view that lives today in our system of free electionss In this view freedom is something that must be main :tained by democracy. In democracy, ev- :eryone must use his vote, as a right and as a duty.
 Thomas Jerfferson would point to an ex- :tra obligation to vote. As public ser- wants, we are in his view comni tied to defend our nation not only with mi ssiles and bullets but with intelligent use of the free man's weapon --his vote. (AFPS)

100000 Increase In Unemployment In
January Brings Total To ~ Million

WASHINGTON, Up - Unem-
ployment jumped by 100000
last month to total of 4,494,00
It was the biggest monthly rise
since World War II.
Reporting this today, the Com
merce and Labor Departments
said the increase was about twice
the normal seasonal rise which
occurs in the post-holiday let
down. The jump reflected fur
Their large drop in factory en-
ployment.
The monthly report disclosed
also that the average work week
declined to 1877 hours last month,
an hour and half shorter than
a year ago.
Because of this cut in the hours
of work, the average weekly earn
ings of factory workers dropped
by $1.47 from December to jan
uary. At $81.27, earnings were
$1.14 lower than year ago.
A Census Bureau official at
first said the squirt in unemploy-
ment may have been the largest
on record. He. added, however,
that he was unable Immediately
to locate comparable figures for
the early years of the big depres
sion which started in 1929. In any
event, he said, the jump was the
biggest for any month since
World War II.

clude money owed the federal
government in connection with
projects built under the APW act.

Important Source
OF Peat Moss

SEWARD ~ Milo NJ. Palmer.
president of the United States De-
velopment Company of Seattle,
was in Seward last week for a
business meeting with 0. E. OAR
ling, president of the Brown &
Hawkins Commercial Co. Palm
er's company mines and distrib-
uteS peat moss for commercial
and home gardening purposes.
In talking about his Alaskan
trip Palmer said, "The peat moss
industry has grown to be huge
business in the states. The de-
mand for peat moss grows bigger
every year as American farm
lands become humus-depleted and
as new homes are built. The peat
bogs in the states that supply the
market are of limited scope and
will be mined out in another
three or four years"
Palmer said, "We have long had
our eyes on the linitless supply
of peat, or muskeg as you Alas
kans call it, here in Alaska. Our
company is following up some
experiments made by the War
Production Board during the last
war in coking peat to produce
petro chemicals. If we can devel-
op efficient means of producing
peat by-products to help equalize
transportation costs, Alaskan
muskeg will be a bonanza to u.s."
Palmer said, ''We plan to send
an engineer to Alaska this sum-
mer to cruise Alaskan muskegs to
determine if they contain good
grades Of spaghnum moss which
are essential for the industry"
Palmer will inspect the huge
muskeg areas on the Kenai Pen
insula and those around Fair
banks before returning to Seattle.

which sometimes follow the flu.
In one test of means to combat

gel Florentin Of the Manila Gen.
eral Hospital administered the
antibiotics Terramycin and Tet-
racyn to hospitalized patients as
soon as they were admitted. While
neither of these antibiotics had
any effect on the flu virus itself.
they were significantly successful
in repelling the secondary germs,
and in keeping down serious ill
ness and death.
DR.. Florentin reported his work
before the Fifth Annual Sympo-
SUM on Antibiotics in Washing
ton, DC. A similar experience was
related to the Symposium by DR..
Rogue Kraljevic of Chile, who
treated rs flu victims with anti

HE LIB Err TOR
From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer

In a rude log hut near Hodgensvile, KY. Abraham
Lincoln born 149 years ago today. How this child
of the backWoods, whose early years were spent in
hard physical labor whose genius shaped in print
tive surroundings, rose to stature not reached by any
statesman before SINCE is shining chapter of
human history
That this should be is entirely natural and ines
capable. Not alone because Lincoln shrewd and
skilful leader of and successfully fought great
civil war, because he masterfu debater and
wrote immortal prose.
He was and did, all these things and good many
more But there have been other statesmen who ap-
preached him in these particulars
The deep source of his greatness something
else - the unexampled force that guided and i'm
PEELED him Thus he could grasp firmly cardinal prn
ciple that escaped most of his time That society
can endrse without unity and that no unity possible
without freedom.
When Lincoln became the 10Th President, he
the first elected by the Republican party the Re
public stood in mortal danger because of its
bers rejected the basic condition of unity.
The immense tragedy Of the War Between the
States followed In the early years of that conflict
Lincoln explicitly stated his aim:
My paramount object in this struggle is to save
the Union and is either to save or destroy slavery
The Union was everything. But there was a con-
dtion to this accomplishment Lincoln stated it thus:
AS | would not be slave, SO | would not be
master This expresses my idea of democracy. What
differs from this to the extent Of the difference
is democracy"
He saved the Union, thus, by guaranteeing the first
requirement of its existence, democratic freedom
And now, these things established in the minds
and hearts Of the American people, we see the fruit
of Lncoln's labor
nation in all fact Conceived in liberty and dedi-
Gated the proposition that all created equal
giving the world its finest example of creative unity
moral strength and material progress.

Otros tres asuntos resueltos en- la Ultima
