"A Newspaper Function Is To Tell The Truth, Not To Run Things"
THE CHURCH
Sir Jule, owned by E. A. Nicodemus. Waynesboro, Pennsylvania,
recent winner at National Conference of Percheron Judges and Breeders
at Frederick, July 21-22.
At a Father-and-Daughter meeting held recently, a Ki-
wanis vninister was chairman of the program committee.
As ,part of the elltertainment, 'he had the junior choir of
h,is church sing. This choir was composed of a round doz-
en of small daughters of his fellow Kiwanians. They sang
likelittle angels and their fathers ,glowed with pardonable reading Lo d'finl~ of red flannel!death of John Zombr~. killed on

h riiet er of the clab a ked the man next to him if their overcoats and suits, but t.hat's jus nest n the twinkline t,t' an eye,
fathel lttkd ever heard the c'hoirsing before! The question what Mrs. Charles Wolfe wouht this young man. beloved by all
Without a doubt, have you do--and for a good
was both pertinent and i,mpertinent.
.eilCh one of those KiWanis fathers had been to this Kiwan-
is parson's church, and without a doutbt he had had a
h mp in his throat when his daughter rose in her white
vestments and sang the lbeautiful old songs he had sung so
lustily when he was a little boy in the church choir.
Maybe that parson isn't the best preacher in Kiwanis.
Maylbe his church doesn't have tall steeples and ivy grown
@alts. but at least he rem r bers that text "And a lit-
tle child shall lead them."
,Perhaps the greatest emphasis laid on any (,bjective in
Kiwanis is that laid on our underprivileged child work.
P rhaps we might lay a bit more e.mphasis on the church
veork of our own overprivileged children. Perhaps we
should imake sure that some one interested them in Sunday
School and saw to it that thdy were taken there each Sab-
bath mo ning.
' The man does not live who would want his child to grow
up with,out religious education and religious influence.
The man does not live who would want to "raise his fam-
ily in a town in which there were no churches.
Too many of us forget that there is an aim and a pur-
best way to encourage them is ;by example, and that ex-
ple is best demonstrated by attending church ourselves.

to move over and make room for

for our own corn,fort, and the name

MAY INCREASE SOCIAL TAXES
tse of the social security tax rates .on emoloy-

een discussed by the Treasury and Social Security of-
ficials. They believe that such a step would cut purchas-
ing power, prevent inflation and at the same time provide
more mpney for national defense needs.
R easy to see how this proposal would arouse o,pposi-

itaea ure is for the safety of the country, they will have to

THE EMERGENCY MAY NOT ARISE
While there is n,o one who wants to keep enrollees in
the army camps longer than the year for which they
were oNginally inducted, we are faced with an emergency
and there seems to be nothing else to do. World conditions
are not the same as it was in October 1940, when the
boys registered. Our nation's dan,ger constantly increas-
es. Cha lged conditions create the necessity for changed
re ulationsi and since we are faced with an emergency
which none of us wanted and for vthich no American can
'be held liable, it would .be a foolhardy th,in,g to release
Ynen who have been trained for the nation's defense, just
at a time wh'en that defense may be most needed.
Before world conditions get better and A,mericans can
feet safe from the mad marauders of the totatitar-
COuntries, eiviiians as well as enrollees will have to
make sa'crifiees, and do many things which they will dis-
llke and w;otlld not even consider under normal condi-
i ottditi0ns may arise that w ll make an extension
of time in trainig camps unnecessary. Why worry about
