THE GOOD LIVES ON HREE Indianapolis women in the news during the past few days offer inspiring of community service and good living which is a welcome respite from accounts of international conflict, na-

tional strife and local crime. Mrs. W. W. Reedy, mother of four children and long-time

leader in the W.C. T. U, has heen chgsen Indiana State Mother by the Gelden Rule Foundation, a national organiwhich annually selects an outstanding mother in each state and then in the U. S. Widow of a city fireman, "Reedy is known for her sincerity and devotion to the cause of temperance and to church work. She belongs to the Cenot tral Avenue Methodist church and for 20 years has headed ‘the W. 6. T. U. The other .two community leaders’ names appeared, sadly enough, inwhituary notices. One of the genuinely “sweet and tender” personalities of the church community in Indianapolis was Miss Emma “Anderson, 74, who died Thursday following a heart while teaching a class at Tabernacle Presbyterian church "Palm Sunday. She had attended Tabernacle since it was organized, had been associated with that church longer than any other person. Her father, who died in 1808, was an elder and clerk of the session. Miss Anderson became a Sunday school teacher at 17, worked in the Winona assembly and summer school, and became chupch visitor and later assistant to the minister, held until her retirement in 1940. The Times carried a special feature article several years ago, with a photograph standing in the great oak door entrance to the church to tpity th the spirit of welcome which she symbolized. Like Miss Anderson, Mrs. Inez Taylor was an institution in local church circles. Mrs. Taylor, one of the founders of Englewood Christian. church and a granddaughter of one of the founders of Butle been active in the ch * was one of those who started a Sunday school in a storeroom on the site of the present church. She also was 3 Sunday school teacher whose influence has been felt by hundreds of young persons, as had Miss Ander¥on's Mrs. Taylor was active in gounty yd circles, having been statistical reporter for the Marion county Christian 1 church Sunday School association for more than a score of E | years and in the W.

Since the U. 8. without peacetime conscription, during approximately 170 years of its existence, has invaded foreign territory 176 times without a formal declaration of war, what would be the record if this extra power were given to the oligarchy of military brass hats? Didn't the nations that made the

tion go down to ignominjous de feat at the hands of nations without it? What is the historical background of the slogan, “The marines have landed and the situation is well in hand?” How in the name of common sense can we acquire peace on earth, good will to all men, by econtinually preparing for war?

"Canal Is Dangerous, Banks Should Be Guarded by Fence"

BY Mariop W. Allep, 1399 E. 46th st. I have lived in this neighborhood practically my entirg lifetime of more than 71 years, and during this 71 years I have known of many children, also adults, to lose their lives in the canal. While this stream has all the appearance of a placid innocent streain, in reality it is quite the reverse. It is 3 most dangerous and treacherous ‘stream, as the banks are steep and muddy and the current is swift. And unless a persom is a ing, as the swift

Also the promises made in the Atlantic charter have all been forgotten. Instead of standing for each country being at liberty to establish the kind of government they choose by vote of its people, we want now to lend $400 million to be used to keep Greece and Turkey from choosing their own form of government and to force them to accept the “American way of life,” which has made millions of undernourished families that the owning class may revel in wealth for which they can have no earthly

“ARMY BOYS CAN TELL YOU MORE THAN I CAN" By Harry H. Judpy Jr. Indiasnpelis In regard to the letter from J. 8.

H. of Greenwood, I wish to say that

letters ehout G. Is being in so much need of finances is that they honestly need it. For example, I was 17 when I joined the navy, so how much money do you think I had? According to your letter, I was|ine dumb to get married before I got out of service I didn't own a house or have much money in the bank. I got married on ‘a 7-day leave because I loved the girl and wanted to spend as much of my life with her as possible. If I had waited until IT had a home and money, I probably wouldn't be married today. The same thing holds| true for most G. Ls who got married ‘while in service, not because they didn't want a home or money,

to get them before they went in. From the sound of your letter you must not have been in service. You said that Uncle Sam took care of us in service. To a certain extent, yes, but I've seen many a time when you had to look out for your. self, or else. I'll bet the arm can tell you more about that | If you only made $24 a week as your highest wage, you had better get out of that rut. Was that dur-|"POr ing the depression, or gre yoy a baby sitter? Here are a few of many who share my opinions, so you see I'm not alone in my views.

NEW YORK, April 15—1t is about time, I think, that the last hypocritical rag was stripped from the back of professional baseball, and that we know of all the hearts and flowers about “national sport” and the inviolable chastity baseball derives thereby.

The Grangers, as organized hy Kelley apd his associates, especially the is ones’ in Indipns, were a series of granges, or lodges, of the §ans of Hushandry.. Their object was to improve the lot of the farmer through intellectual and social intercourse. This milk and water djet, however, soon faded into the background.
