A Layman's Responsibility The Laymen's National Committee of New York, founders and sponsors of National Bible Week, will institute National Sunday School Week, April 9 to 15, 1945. The sole purpose is to stimulate Sunday school attendance and support Admiral Reginald R. Belknap, chairman of the committee, says: "It is time to popularize the fact that a boy or girl who attends Sunday school, who is obedient to his parents and teachers is not a but a real American. National Sunday School Week will endeavor to get over that every parent is not only derelict in his duties, but he cannot expect to enjoy the respect, admiration, or even the company of his friends and associates, if he does not make some effort, some sacrifice to insure his children a knowledge of God. America was founded on man's consciousness of God.
man's daily labor, and the fruits therefrom- Until there is again a-universal recognition of the importance of assuring American children a knowledge of God, the very principles that served Co create this country of ours, will continue to be in jeopardy." Concerted action should be instituted to popularize Sunday school attendance, to give the youth of the nation, a stabilizing influence to counteract irresponsible thinking that inevitably follows war. The fact that strength of character develops with a better understanding of the relative importance of the spiritual and the material, is evidenced by the experiences of the boys on the fighting fronts. The same stabilizing influence must be encouraged in our domestic life. A Rather Somber Postwar Picture Many economists wlio never met a. payroll or managed a business announce glibly that' the postwar national income will be stabilized between 5150,000,000 and 000,000.
This compares with a swollen, income of $157,000,000,000 last year and less than 0000 in any peacetime year. Now comes Br. Rufus S. Tucker, economist of the General Motors Corporation, with the. prediction that the national income will drop sharply during the first two post- war years and then will rise to a point below $100,000,000,000 in the next three years These figures are based on the prewar dollar, Dr.
Tucker says. Gauged by the postwar dollar, which is expected to be inflated, the national income will be somewhat higher. Dr. Tucker says prophets of a huge national income after the war permit ihemselces to be fooled by three factors. There will be fewer than 60,000,000 postwar there will be several million of unemployed, and production per worker will not be as large as has been predicted.
People are wise to save money, advises Dr. Tucker, because the postwar period will not be the rosy- hued era that'some of the starry- eyed planners envision. This newspaper believes Dr. Tucker paints an entirely too somber picture of the postwar period, but it is well to discount all possibilities and his advice about saving money is particularly sound. Two-Way Deal An executive of the Textile Workers of America is quoted as saying that "we will fill the mills" of New 3edford tire plants if the Government operates these plants without profit to the owners.
It would seem, perhaps, that the controversy, in the "guinea pig'' labor graft case in New Bedford is over management profit from war business, rather than Government assignment of labor. But if the tire plants should provide industrial facilities for the Government without profit, it might seem only fair that the workers draw the prevailing Government wage paid other drafted men in uniform--say, $50 a month. If the arrangement is fair, it ought to work both ways. Worthy Citation Union leaders frequently complain "that too much attention is paid to labor's strikes, too little to its on-the-job accomplishments in this war. The answer to that is that, perhaps unfortunately, the departure from normal is usually what makes news.
And the answer also gives an excuse to repeat an item of recent news that may have been overlooked. On Washington's birthday, merchants at two small New York war plants insisted on turning out vitally-important material for the Navy even though the building owners refused to provide heat or elevator service. The men worked all day at temperatures below 40 degrees. They drew only straight-time pay. Nobody complained or behaved as if he thought he were being heroic or 'doing something extraordinary.
A salute to these workers! The TJ. S. Coast Guard fleet now numbers more than 5,000 vessels and is the fifth largest fleet in the world. A TAL By MATTHEW ADAMS Author of "You "Just Among Friends' Mania For Ownership It is natural that each of us desires to own something- something that he can feel contributes to his securitv in some manner or other. No matter how temporary this own- eishipi may be still it remains as an anchor, keeping the ship i ure a ma a bitter life storm.
more destructive to the moral fibre of a man, have a mama for mere ownership Accumulation becomes a valuable asset to a man when he has in mind its useful and wise dis- Then the public at large, becomes me beneficiary. In many of the larger countries of the world, and especially in America, nave seen examples of huge ownerships unwieldly and left unbroken to incompetent hands, scattering their tread of vil and waste from generation to generation. But this mania for ownership is not to great fortunes. It can work its ruin with us i unless we become ruled by a useful purpose in whatever ownership may be ours. No matter what we may choose to accumulate.
I do not believe that we should cling to it too long. There comes the temptation to be too boastful, too unwisely talkative as to what we have gained as our very own. I can testify to the fact that there is quite as big a thrill in giving awav'as in getting and owning. The late elder George F. Baker was a very wealthy man, a fcew York banker of great ability and vision.
He presented to Dartmouth College its beautiful Baker Library as a memorial to a dear one. On one of my visits to this college I was told that after Mr. Baker had called to see the'finished building, it made him so happy that he went back home and made out a check for a million dollars to add to the endowment of few magnificent gift. And Dartmouth College was only one of his many fine benefactions. It is most worthy to gather--if the end you scatter! Tomorrow Mr.
Adams will talk on the Errors Make" The Horoscope by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate) PISCES (February 21 to March 21)--Subjects of this water sign usually are talented and high- strung. They should relax at certain times each day if they desire to accomplish what is within the scope of their ability. Both the men and women may be inclined to do too much for friends and relatives. Unwise generosity is common among Pisces folk. The ruling planets are Jupiter and Neptune.

Fellowship of Prayer A I DEVOTIONAL Prepared by Copyright 1945 Friday, March 9 The Ascent of Goodness- "For except your righteousness shall exceed-" "Excel" (Moffatt) Matthew 5:20. Read Matthew 5-17-20 Forget th Scribes and Pharisees, all that is old straw; remember ins a a goodness is always a living, growing force or else it has little always needs to be set from its old a related to new occasions a duties.
Of course, a lie is always a lie and theft is DR. ATKINS always theft, but there are always new ways of lying and stealing and every moral law must be recast again and again to meet always changing conditions. The best illustration, if there were room for it here, would be the recasting of old judicial decisions to meet new social and economic conditions; that is the only way any law ever gets fulfilled. Otherwise it becomes a dead letter or even a -prison in which justice herself is imprisoned. Goodness is kept alive by extending, its renewing it from its unfailing sources and making it regnant in every situation.
Except a living goodness escape a dead past God's kingdom is a dream. Prayer: Almighty God Who, in a world of change, has planted eternity in our hearts, grant unto us so to grow in grace and the knowledge of the mind of Jesus Christ that our goodness may be always ing- toward that perfection which, though we cannot reach it, we must be always seeking. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. IS STOLEN Hazel Heflin, first block of mit avenue, reported to police terday the theft of about $21 cash from her third floor ment.
