Since the alumni banquet in the 1 High school, Saturday evening, a number of alumni have expressed opinions concerning these annual get-to-gethers.

Most of these people, interviewed at various times during this week, seem agreed that interest in these affairs here in Syracuse is at a low point; that the officers in charge of this year's program worked diligently, but could find little support as none of the graduates wanted to help to do anything towards taking part in the prografn of entertainment. Some complaint was made that when the 35 cents annual dues were I paid by each and 50 cents per plate for the banquet it made the dinner cost 85 cents, which ran into money if each graduate brought the one guest permitted, so that fewer guests attended this year than formerly. Others said that pot luck parties of other years have meant that the graduate in numerous cases brought a small dish of “something” and . several guests, which meant. di fib cutties to be met. Many of the younger people want to dance, and dance orchestras cost money. But the dance orchestra was obtained this year. It has been said that the Milford High School alumni held their annual party Saturday evening, serving sandwiches, coffee and ice cream from tables whenever one wished to be served,, the cost being | 25 cents; and that dancing was enjoyed all evening. The crowd there numbered more than 200. The report from the party at Etna Green was much the same. Despite the fact that those who attended the local alumni banquet Saturday evening voted for another banquet next year, it has been suggested it would be more successful, that more people would ,be able to attend, if they were permitted tu eat al home before coming to the party, thus doing away with the pot luck or dinner-served controversy; to pay a small sum which would take care of the dance orchestra; that it everyone would get behind the officers and decide to work, an interesting program for the entire evening could be planned; that it should be made clear to those w ho “crashed the gate” that such alumni parties are lor the alumni, incited guests, and the graduating class. And to anyone who might feel, at this point the desire to say “What have you to say about it, what busmses is it of yours,” the editor and wife will recall to the minds of all that neither one is a graduate of the local High School. The foregoing is published because so many people thia past week “wished somebody

would say something about it.* But what has happened to this community anyhow? It can’t seem to get'together on anything; to decide for sure whether it prefers a bank or the poor house; wants a party or • dinner dance. A few try to accomplish something and the rest seem willing to let the other fellow do the work and worrying towards making a success of anything. Can it he that here in ® Syracuse almost everyone "passes the buck*?

THE NEW DEAL IS MARCHING ON Last week, by enacting the cotter bitt Congress virtually gave the Agricultural department complete control of the cotton land of the south. The law, when complete agreement has been reached in the Senate and House as to some of the minor details, and the signature of the President b added, will take away from the cotton planters the right to manage their own property, at least for one year. After the enactment of the cotton bill, each cotton planter will learn from a, bureau in Washington, how r many bales of cotton he will be permitted to produce. If he produces more than his allottment, a confiscatory tax will be levied on each excess bale he has ginned. This is not a voluntary reduction or a voluntary action. It is being rammed down the throats of all cotton growers. No longer can the President and the Brain Trust proudly refer to their revolution as a voluntary one for the cotton farmer is being regimentated for the good of the state. Sounds like* Communism. If the small planter cannot weW an existence on his allotment, be can grow another kind of crop thus creating more surplus for that particular crop, he can move to a city and thus swell the total of their unemployed, or he can stay on his farm and starve. The hill b designed for the “great

eat good of the nation. ” No doubt those tactics will soon be applied to wheat, corn and hogs. Maybe Dr. Wirt of Gary hasn't been lying about the planned revolution, of the Communistic Brain Trust after all. 0 : ' POLITENESS C. E. Wade, Director Chicago College of Commerce. The lack of politeness stamps us as boorish, crude, brutish and illbred. S-. A few days ago'while waiting in a neighborhood bakery, I beheld one of the greatest demonstrations of politeness that it ever has been >ny pleasure to witness. In the crowd stood a little boy of about seven. He was ragged from head to foot and his clothes were many sizes too large for his emaciated body. He had evidently been waiting for some time, yet he was too polite to press his privilege.

1 Well-groomed and successful-ap-pearing men looked down on him as f just another unfortunate and crowded him back. Women in fine array ‘ took his place in line because he ■ didn't amount to anything. Through > the entire ordeal, his politeness ' never wavered. Finally, he was giv- I 1 en a bag of stale bread, and with a I gracious “Thank You," departed. You can go to the college campus, the halls of learning, or any place where culture and refinement are | on parade, but you will never see j a greater expression of politeness ’ than that demonstrated by this little I waif. Politeness is not a veneer. It is not a coat that can be put on and taken off at will, it is truly humble attribute that always ponders the feelings, of the other fellow before saying or doing a thing. Genuine politeness costs nothing, but gains much. It continually advertises to the world what caliber we are. If you are so important or so busy that you have no time for politeness, you should be able and would do well, to employ some one to act in that capacity for you.

u FARM CONTROL TO GO ON SAYS SECRETARY WALLACE WASHINGTON-The extent to which the Administration means to go in the direction of socialism is officially indicated by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace and quoted in the Senate by Senator Simeon D. Feas, of Ohio. In a pamphlet entitled “America Must Choose,” the Secretary says: "Much as we all dislike it, the new type of social control that we have now in operation is here to stay By the end of 1934 we shall probably have taken 15,000,0d0 acres out of cotton, 20,000,000 acres out of corn, and about half a million acres out of tobacco, nearly one-eighth of all the crop land now harvested in the United States. If we continue year after year with only 25,000,000 or 30,000,000 acres of cotton in the South instead of 40,000,000 or 45,000,000 acres, it may be necessary after a time to shift part of the Southern population. We will find exactly the same dilemma, although not on quite such a large scale in the corn and wheat belts. "If we finally go all the way toward nationalism, it may be necessary to have compulsory control of marketing, licensing of plowed land, and base and surplus quotas for every farmer for every product for each month in the year. We may have to have governmental control of ail surpluses, and a far greater degree of public ownership than we have now. It may be necessary to make a public utility out of agriculture. Every plowed field would have its permit sticking up on its

post. “As yet we have applied in this control the barest beginnings of the sort of social discipline which a completely determined nationalism requires. Our own maneuvers of social discipline to date have been mildly persuasive and democratic. Regimentation without stint might indeed, I sometimes think, go faster and further here than anywhere eke. Great prosperity is possible for the United States if we follow the strictly nationalistic course, but in such case we must be prepared for a fundamental planning and regimentation of agriculture and industry far beyond that which anyone has as yet suggested.* —O ministerial association The Syracuse Ministerial Association met at the Evangelical parse nwe Tuesday morning, April 3rd. AU members of the organisation were present. One of the items of business concerned the sponsorship of a Boy Scout troop.
