really believe in nothing.
Secularism, which is a lack OF
faith in spiritual verities. Is
draining the moral strength
Of the Nation.
Our contemporary scene Is
full of deluded people who,
instead of trusting with
childlike dependence a pow
err outside themselves, think
they can blow on their hands
and lift themselves up by
their own bootstrapS. Such
people are not avowed athe-
lists. There is little blatant
unbelief expressed in these
days. But real beliefs are re-
vealed by priorities, not by
any verbal assent to any
creed.
In today's global contest
we confess our faith by the
things which we put first.
We face a system in which
untold millions are being
taught to put the victory OF
goddess communism first in
their lives. Facing that new
world power our hearts are
full of fear because we know.
alas, that our technical skill
has gone thousands of miles
beyond our ethical capital to
sustain the strength, our
morals have sagged, secu-
lariSm is draining the moral
strength of our generation.
On the bulletin board out
side the church in a great
city recently was conspicu-
ously displayed a poster con-
tanning a representation Of
q Pilgrim Father. And under
the figure was printed the
question, els the Pilgrim a
back number?" Many in this
modern day have no reaction
to a picture of a Pilgrim save
to laugh at it. Many moderns
must be funny at all costs,
even if the price of a laugh
is the trailing of holy things
in the slough Of irreverence.
This sort of disillusioned
amusement at the things of
life which are of the most
value is a sign of a diseased
mind, and of a shrunken soul.
Nobody really laughs when
God is dead. The Pilgrims
may be caricatured because
of their intolerance, and
thought Of as bigoted med
oilers in other peoples busi-
ness, but at least to them
life was primarily q spiritual
enterprise. They sought a
faiths pure shrine. To them
faith was not q form, but q
force.
No wonder the prophets Of
the race are calling the Ma
. ton back, not to the charac-
teristics which made the Pill
grims sometimes repellent,
but to the qualities which
made them great-God and
conscience and duty, the
moral regnant above the
material, the spirit in the
saddle.
In the crisis that is now
upon us, the only thing that
can save America for itself,
and for the world, is an awe
inspiring belief, a faith that
as a force is terrible as an
army with banners. Only the
renaissance of a dynamic
faith can burn away the bar
riers blocking the way to
world brotherhood. Faded
faith will flame anew when
from the heart there is Of
fered and answered the pray
er, take Thou the dimness
of my soul away"

Everybody Hoppy?'

Two interesting stories ap-
peared in The Star of No
vember 2. One was headed:
Eisenhower Asks Public to
Back Imitation Fight" There
is nothing wrong with that
recommendation. It's long
overdue, provided all in Gov
eminent take the necessary
action; or if not, goodness
knows where we are all going
to end up.
The second item was the
splendid editorial, Every
body Happy?" It refers to the
enthusiasm of the president
Of D. c. Transit about the
new contract he has negoti-
ated with the transit union.
If one analyses the situa-
ton. the only expense of the
contract is going to be to
John @. Public. No other
conclusions could be reached
all adding to imitation.
1t might be good for both
factors in District Transit
that If an increased fare
takes place there is a riders
strike" for a change. This
might be helpful and healthy
all around for the people who
have to use District Transit.
Wherever monopoly is in
control on both sides Of the
economic problem 1t goes
without saying John @. Public
is going to pay the price.
George ]. Burger,
Vice President, National
Federation of Independent
Business.
AS recently noted in The
Star, a deal has been made
between the D. c. Transit
System and the streetcar
and bus operators union,
whereby those operators, now
paid $3.50 per hour-as much
as they would be worth per
day with a normal dollar,
will be jumped to an ultimate
wage of $2.65 per hour:
which with fringe benefits
will add about So million to
the payroll over the next
three years. Mr.. Chalk of the
Transit System expresses
satisfaction that "the public
does not have to worry about
a strike" - that they will
merely have to pay a ascent
fare in the near future, ir
lieu of the present 20-cent
fare. Mr.. Bierwagen of the
union thinks that the con-
tract is wonderful"
AS further noted in Tit
Star, the Michigan Park Cit.
liens Association is against
elimination Of District street.

Citizens Association is pro.

sit Co. fare increase. In TIT
meantime our streets are
crowded with buses, taxicab'
and private cars, as a result
of a deal put through Con.
gress some time ago for de-
structioH of our excellen

should provide for restora'

HUNTING
and
FISHING

The week end looks like a
good one for anglers. The trout
season opens in Virginia at
noon tomorrow and prospects
are bright for a resumption Of
shad, herring and perch fish
ing in nearby waters.
Except for possible high wa
ter from melting snow in the
mountains. conditions for vir-
ginia trout fishing should be
favorable. Fly fishermen will
find streamers and nymphs the
best bet. The Black Ghost and
Royal Coachman are favored
streamers.
Down in George Washington
National Forest, $1,000 brook
and rainbow trout have been
placed In the streams. Another
$4,000 will be planted during
the last week of April and the
first week of May.
Besides the 10000 Federal
trout stocked. the State plans
$1,000 in streams on pl 'vate
land within or adjacent to the
national forest.
Anglers also are looking for
ward to next Saturday when
West Virginia opens its trout
season.
Those who prefer other fish
ing should be able to find it.
The Potomac has been cloudy
with cold water from melting
snow in the uplands pushing
the shad and herring back.
But it is clearing rapidly and a
day or two of warm weather
should restore the fishing.
No shad have been taken but
they are overdue. There are
quite a few perch in the river
but only small ones have been
taken along the edge. Bigger
