CITIZENSHIP TO BE EMPHASIZED THROUGH PLAQUE Talk Given on Plaque and the American Creed by Gov. Rdy S. Ruckman Brings Pledge from Local Kiwanis Club to Present One to School. Something of interest to every person in Nappanee and vicinity underlies a talk given Monday noon by Kiwanis Governor Roy S. Ruckman before the Nappanee Kiwanis club —explanation of a plaque by Viquesney, of Spencer, Ind., and “The American Creed” by William Tyler Page. This plaque, is being presented to many schools in the state of Indiana through the efforts of the Kiwanis clubs and plans-are being made to present one at the local school. At a time when Americanism is being stressed upon all occasions this plaque means much. For those not having the privilege of seeing it the following explanation is Piven: The plaque is 28x36 inches in size with the people bf a democracy brought out in relief on one side, showing manufacturers, mining men, rural workers, men of learning and the lady of the house, being saluted by two school children: Upon- the right hand side of the plaque in equally as prominent a place we find the army, navy, marines, aif fighters, etc., evidently supporting the home life of the people. Oiji the side of peace we have factories, stores, homes and the ordinary plane as part of the scene while hovering over the fighting forces of the nation upon the right hand side we find war clouds and a bomber plane while below a Boy Scout and a Girl Scout salute the armed forces.

AcVoss the bottom of the plaque we find the American Creed: “I Wslieve in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent, sos the governed; a democracy iii a republic; a soverign nation of many soverign states; a perfect union, one and inseparable;, established upon those principles of freedom, eauality justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. “I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and defend it against all enemies.” Each part of the plaque was explained in detail and the American creed was broken down into its many parts, some explanation as to the important speech or document from which it was taken given. The Kiwanis club expects to place this plaque in the schools and if this is done the public will be given the (Opportunity to attend the dedicatory ceremony. It is the hopes of the club members the plaque will be presented at a public gathering in which the school children will take a prominent part and parents and others interested in citizenship will give their attendance and support. These plaques have been placed in the schools at Indianapolis, Marion and Columbus, Ind., and several other communities wherein there are live Kiwanis clubs efforts are being made to raise the money and procure this excellent piece of work to be presented to the schools. __

THREE HOUR GOOD FRIDAY PROGRAM Special Service at Methodist Church Sponsored by the Nappanee Ministerial Association. It is announced by Rev. A. R. Sanks, chairman of the Good Friday committee of the Nappanee Ministerial Association, that a special three hour service will be held in the Methodist church on April 11th from 12:00 noon to 3:00 p. m. M. W. Wegmiller, president of the Nappanee Merchants Association, has announced that the retail merchants will cooperate With the ministers in this observance of Good Friday by closing the stores for the period of this service. Special window cards are prepared for display in the stores indicating this cooperation. Inasmuch as the public schools will be closed for spring vacation, the Way is clear for a complete community sharing in this most devotional service in honor of the Christ, who >went all the way to the cross in His devotion to a pure religion for all men. Good Friday has been traditionally observed as a Sacred Day by several religious - organizations for years and in recent years Evangelical Protestantism has recognized the value of such a holy day to such an extent that our cities have led the way by the closing of business houses and public functions for this three hour period. It is now perhaps the most holy day in the religious world.

The Nappanee Ministerial Ass ciation most cordially invites the public to use this period as a devotional expression of loyalty to the Christian (pause and for the deepening of the, individual religious spirit. The program is arranged in twenty-five minute periods and worshippers may come to as manyyof these periods as is possible and leave during the singing of hymns between the periods. As ah act of worship offering plates will be placed at convenient places in the vestibules and worshippers may make some contribution as they may desire in the name of religion to the need of the world. The Ministerial Association will then administer these funds for, Cristian purposes. The seven last words spoken by the Christ from the cross will be used as a basis for the meditations by local ministers during this service as follows: 12:00-12:30, The First WordHymn. Prayer, Rev. H. D. Emmert, the Presiding. Minister. “Father, Forgive Them for They Know Not What They Do.” Speaker, Rev. A. R. Sanks, Methodist church. Hymn. The Second Word — “Verily, I Say Unto* Thee, Today Shalt Thou Be With Me In Paradise.” Speaker, Rev. L. L. Rassi, Mennonite Brethren in Christ Church.

Milwaukee, Wis. —Approximately 1,962 workers filed into the Allis-Chalmers plant here to the accompaniment of catcalls and boos from nearly three thousand C. I. O. pickets and in defiance of a union threat they would lose their jobs if they returned to work without union authority. This photo shows the men arriving by trolley car qs C. I. O. pickets shout their disapproval. This view is of the main entrance to the plant. The strike situation, generally, seems to be clearing up since a number, such as Bethlehem .Steel, were settled over the week-end.

UNITED STATES CONDITION ON THE EDGE OF WAR Some Explanation as to: Just How Much Aid This Nation Has Given to Britain During the Past Months. Washington, D. C.—April 3 The United States Government has been making history in re-! cent weeks and the authority and rights of President Roosevelt have been settled by the acts of Congress. The President has declared that the United States will oppose the war aims of Germany, Japan and Italy, and that “wer the American people are writing new history today,” and will carry on as the arsenal for democracy, and “when (not if)” the Dictators are defeated, ‘“then our country must continue to play its great part in the period of world reconstruction.” Today, the United States is on the edge of war, and the appropriation of seven billion dollars is only the beginning of the cost of this tremendous undertaking. The United States turned over to the British, in addition to the 50 over-age destroyers, up to January, 1941, 195 merchant ships, 900,000 rifles, 24,000 machine guns, 63,000 anti-aircraft machine guns, 230 tanks, 17 million pounds of T.N.T. and tremendous quantities of other materials. Except for the destroyers, the British paid for everything in dollars. In our swift beginnings the United States has awarded sll,500,000.000 of contracts for war materials in the past 9 months, and the first 80 per cent were placed with 62 groups of companies, because they were the only firms that could make quick deliveries in exceptional quantities. Automobile manufacturers, airplane companies, steel mills, shipbuilders, munition manufacturers, tool companies, lumber mills, mine owners, oil companies, rubber producers, and builders and contractors in a thousand fields, turned their operations from “business as usual”, and cut-loose 'for national defense. The Labor Division of the National Defense Advisory Commission says that 2 million men and women went back to work in 1940, and that nearly 4 million more of the Country’s unemployed will be absorbed in defense endeavors. There is always a lot of loose talk during times of emergency like the present to the effect that international bankers and the big manufacturers ar& being favored by the government. An equally ficticious alarm concerns the claim that the United States is parting with the machines of war and giving away its sh.ips, planes, and bombers to Great Britain. It is very important for the people to know that the Army, Navy, Air Corps, and civilian - officials who are directing policies and creating speed and production, are solidly back of President Boosevelt’s statement that the machines and implements of war “are not for storage but for active usage.” The spread of business in national defense is indicated by a government report that shows how 500 firms in the Ohio river region were able to turn manufacturing plants that were partly idle in 15 cities into full production. In another instance three counties in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia pooled the facilities of their manufacturing plants, which were 90 per cent idle, and landed enough sub-contracts to give every worker in the region a job. Seven government agencies are acting as a clearing house for P

-schools, and other methods “in the fields of defense, labor supply and training.” In addition to a’ nationwide Government employment service and vocational instruction in schools, there is “onthe job” training to maintain a steady flow of competent labor. The War and Navy departments have called for 150 new plants, or plant expansions, in all parts of the United States. Economic aid to “ghost towns” for small businesses are provided in the Government plan qf “farming out” defense orders among thousands of smaller shops. Ship construction is at postwar peak with 594 merchant vessels now under construction or contract, including six vessels ordered by the British. The Federal government declared in the beginning that the underlying labor policy must be strong enough so maintain “the morale of our people” because that is a defense asset at least as vital and significant as guns, tanks and planes. The National Defense Advisory Commission reports: “The December 1940 index of factory employment alone reached the highest point of any month in the preceeding 21 years.”

PRISONER DOES NOT LIKE JAIL SO HANGS HIMSELF ON THURSDAY The first hanging ever to take place in the Elkhart city jail occurred last Thursday afternoon. Arthur J. Sprinkle, 28, transient, arrested Thursday morning of last week and placed in the jail, charged with theft, asked for a doctor that he might be given some morphine and this request was denied him. In making a round of the jail about 2:00 o’clock the prisoner was found to be hanging suspended with parts of his shirt about his neck. He taken down and a doctor called. Members of the fire department attempted to revive him with a resuscitator but to no avail and he died Thursday evening. No identification of any . kind could be found on the man’s person and officers are now wondering how to locate any relatives-. GASOLINE STOLEN FROM CAR IN NAPPANEE DURING TUESDAY NIGHT An estimated thirteen gallons of gasoline was taken from the automobile of Rev. G. E. Jones, some time Tuesday night.

! MEN’S FELLOWSHIP MEETING OF WARSAW | DISTRICT HELD HERE | The Men’s Fellowship meeting jOf the Warsaw District, was held |at the First Presbyterian church !of Nappanee last Tuesday even- ! ing. Eighty-seven men sat at the ' tables to enjoy a bountiful dinner | served by the Woman’s Aid Soj ciety and assisted by other women members of the- church.

Zella of Elkhart. bank to observe good FRIDAY UNDER PROVISION I OF NEW STATE LAW 1 | Following the usual custom of attempting to pass some legislation which should never be considered as a law the last session of the state legislature decided people should observe Good Friday and accordingly set it aside as a legal holiday. Custom alone makes or breaks a holiday, the only ones to be directly under this law being the banks and distributors of liquors. Under the provisions of this law, which carried an emergency clause and became effective immediately the State Bank of Nappanee will be open for business on Thursday afternoon of next week and observe Good Friday as a holiday. This means no business can be legally transacted on that day but is the first instance of where laj"S have been passeu for religious holidays l on week days. It is a good thing for all people to attend religious services on this day of all days but a question must be raised as to the advisability of attempting to bring this about through legislation.

Os the 23 events 11 soloists and 4 ensemblists won the right to compete in the state contest to be held at the Laporte High school this coming Saturday. This was considered a very good standing because they competed against very tough competition. The first division winners were: Soloists— f Josephine Mullett, snare drum. Nathan Jones, flute. Sam Richmond, marimba junior. Annie Stuckman, oboe'. Betty Postma, alto sax-junior. * Dan Curtis, trombone-junior. Frances Neterer, tenor /i saxjunior.

However, thisi year’s group is much younger, and the results were indeed very gratifying. If any of the senior competition gets a rating of first division at the state, they will be eligible to compete in the National contest, which will be held at Flint, Mich., sometime in the month of May. The band contest will be held at Elkhart this year on April 26. The band will be in class B which includes schools whose enrollment is between 250 and 500. They are working hard on their required and selected numbers to keep their record unbroken rof having won their right to compete in the state contest for the last four years in succession. This has been competition in class B, which really makes it all the more difficult for them to win. The band numbers 62 pieces this year, and although a younger band it is much better balanced. Several extra rehearsals will be added to the schedule during the last two weeks before the contest.
