798 Rebuild at Home to Achieve World-Wide Peace, Theme of District Club Convention By CAROL FIELD Speakers at the 43rd annual spring cbnventipn of the First district Federation of Women's Clubs in the Elkhorn Municipal building Tuesday stressed the importance of men rebuilding themselves at home in a unity of purpose to achieve world-wide peace or otherwise face eventual race destruction. Three hundred fifty-five registered for the convention sessions and 313 were served luncheon by the Methodist, Congregational and English Lutheran churches. A forceful speaker, Rabbi Joseph L. Baron, Milwaukee, addressed the morning session using for his subject, "One World," in line with the convention theme, "Our Part in Today's World." Basing his reasoning on the failure of the various kinds of civilization attempted by man, Dr. Baron declared there "must be one world, one God and one humanity," pointing to the opening book of the Bible for this common law of equality of all.

In primitive times this belief in a class system of civilization failed, the Milwaukee rabbi stated, adding that the Greek philosophers never realized the meaning of the commandment of the equa'ity of man. "Now that man can speak to any part of the world and can travel to any part of the globe in two days, the need for anunity of all men is especially has failed, not technically," he pointed out, explaining that this was due to man's avid lust for power, and adding that the airplane has brought more death than life. "There is no intercession against the atom bomb," Rabbi Baron stated, and "we cannot afford the luxury of another war which could mean the absolute destruction of civilization." He based this declaration on his experience of being called as one of 35 American ministers to confer with scientists on the atomic bomb. Melvin Evans Speaks Melvin J. Evans, Chicago, who since graduating from the University of Wisconsin engineering school, has followed the hobby of studying human relations in industry, opened his address, "The Cornerstone of Industry Is in the Home," with the explanation that in trying to solve the problems of human relations in industry "we are irresistibly brought back to the home.

One world is not going to be created by the United Nations. It is going to be created by the people back home working to make outstanding citizens for the world tomorrow." Emphasizing that Americans are too satisfied with current conditions, Mr. Evans said that we should "be afraid of Communism as long as we are asleep. We must be alert and growing for a growing people are progressive. People cannot grow and a democracy cannot live without leadership," he continued, stressing the need of a united specific objective and the necessity of citizens being alert and working toward the goal of unity.

"Discipline yourself against frustration and make yourself HOWARD AEH Doctor of Optometry PHONE 641 Best in grow," he admonished. "The home must be a regenerating plant because industry tears man down and his home must rebuild him," he said, citing the vital needs of a good home life and recommending daily devotions. "We cannot have one world until you have harmony in the home and in the community."
