The people of the U.S.A., it was said, got into the bad habit of sitting on their hands, doing nothing for themselves. true or false, some healthy signs are now apparent that the American people are quite capable of acting on their own. One of them is the Friendship Train. With no help from the Government what- soever though with hearty White House approval it has now been decided that the- Friendship Train will definitely roll. will leave Los Angeles November 7 with an engine, a caboose and a boxcar to collect food from the plain people of America for the stricken people of Western Europe.

The first stop will be Bakersfield, where it is hoped another boxcar will be added, and so on across the continent. from the response from all sorts of people including railroad presidents, housewives, farmers a thundering demonstration of the generosity of America will roll across the great plains, showing the people of Europe that help in "their hour of need comes not from closed-door diplomatic conferences, but from the heart of America. -AND most important of all is the fact fy that the Friendship Train is almost entirely spontaneous. It is the sort of thing that couldn't happen in Russia, because in Russia it is only a handful of men who decide whether wheat shall move to France, and then go out and collect what they need from the Russian peasants. And when the Russian people are able to start a spontaneous friendly movement such as this, then there will no longer be any danger of war between our two countries.

Also, if the people of Western Europe get the full significance of this American generosity, there won't be any donbt as to whose side they will be, on. News, J. Fordvre Sons Pioneers Rec.

Memory Man 2 Ladies Be Seated Paul Whiteman :) Double or Nothing ::0 House Party father, Tom Rowe, once had with a flock of wild turkeys. The incident was related to the editor by his mother in the long ago. Mr.

Downs writes: Great flocks of wild turkeys ranged this Green River country a century ago. They grew fat and juicy from foraging wheat fields and corn shocks, and were a rare change from the rough fare of the pioneer. These roaming flocks of turkeys were to be counted by the dozens. Each flock contained from 50 to 100 birds. Experienced hunters knew the habits of these wild turkeys.

They knew how to approach close enough to bring down a fat bird with an old muzzle-loader. My grandfather was a hunter of rare talents. He was schooled in the life and acts of all game. He knew the care and caution required to get one shot at a wild turkey. A snapping twig or a stifled sneeze was sufficient to scare the feeding birds and spoil the chance of a kill.

My grandfather was coming through the woods along Rough River one evening just before dark. He heard far through the trees the flapping of many wings. The noise foretold the rapid approach of a flock of turkeys. He quickly dropped behind a fallen tree and waited. The flock of turkeys came into view and slowly settled on a nearby log.

They stood on the log in a long row, side by side. My grandfather noticed how straight they stood, and how their great hind toes all pointed backward. At the same time, he noticed the log on which they had settled for the night was both big and hollow. The thought came to him how he could catch the entire flock. He cautiously edged away and returned home to await the next night to try out his scheme.

During the following day, he went to the log with an ax and wedges. He split the log its full length, and drove pegs in the crack to keep it open. He crawled inside the log as night approached. Soon he was rewarded by the sound of flapping wings. The flock of turkeys settled onto the log side by side, as they had done the evening before.

My grandfather had calculated well. As the turkeys settled into place, the hind toe of each dropped into the crack in the log. My grandfather patiently waited until darkness settled in the woods and each turkey had tucked its head under a wing for the night. Then he carefully began to remove the pegs, one by one. At last, only the peg in the center held the crack open.

He jerked this one out with a quick movement, then was thrilled by a great flapping of wings and the cry of caught birds. My grandfather crawled out of his hiding place. He broke the necks of the turkeys with a stick, counted them, and discovered he had caught 30 fine fat birds without firing a shot.

T. Mercier, president of the Southern Pacific, urged that the train start at Los Angeles instead of San Francisco in order to get a better coverage of California. His railroad is carrying the train free, as are all the other railroads. Credit for this goes to G. F.

Ashby, head of the Union Pacific, R. L. Williams, head of the Chicago and M. W. Clement, president of the Pennsylvania, and to G.

Metzman, head of the New York Central. When William Faricy, president of the Association of American Railroads, put the idea up to them, they didn't hesitate a minute. Harry Warner of Warner Brothers and George Skouras of 20th Century-Fox are also contributing their time and genius, plus trained personnel to help organize the train. Ed O'Neill of the Farm Bureau Federation, Albert Goss of the National Grange, James Patton of the Farmers Union, S. Kendrick Guernsey, head of Rotary; Charles Armstrong, head of Kiwanis; Taylor Cole and John Ben Sheppard of the Junior Chambers of Commerce; and Fred Smith, head of the Lions clubs, together with many others are helping with the collection of food through their local organizations along the train's route.

TOUIS DOLIVET, of the United Nations World, was in Paris last week. He visited Prime Minister Ramadier at his office. A third man was present Solomon Grumbach, president of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Council. Because of the economy wave and the necessity of conserving gasoline, the Prime Minister's Office has only three cars assigned to it. When the three men left the office, none of the cars was available.

The transportation strike hadn't been settled, and so the three men started to walk. Ramadier paced them in a two-mile walk, until they found a horse-drawn cab. "Doesn't it seem odd," said Ramadier, "that in this Atomic Age the Prime Minister travels by foot and horse-wagon?" TUST before the execution of Petkov, the French League of Human Rights sent a message to Georgi Dimitrov, Prime Minister of Bulgaria, asking that he send them the Petkov file, containing the charges against him, the proof, etc. Dimi-trov's reply was brief: That his government would tolerate no interference in its internal affairs. The French League of Human Rights then sent to Dimitrov a copy of its Georgi Dimitrov 1933 file, containing the Nazi government's reply to the request for information on Dimitrov and the Reichstag Fire trials: That the Nazi government would tolerate no interference in its internal affairs.

"And so, Mr. Prime Minister," wrote the League to Dimitrov, "isn't this a strange and terrible coincidence?"

Ed Kallay Fulton Lewis, Jr. A -That, of course, is one big reason for the Friendship Train, and why newsreels ofihe train will be shown in European theaters, and why the French and Italian embassies are working on the idea of meeting the food shipments on the other Side with two European "Friendship Trains" to carry the cargoes from the French and Italian seaports through Italy and France. vTo get a partial idea of how all sorts of Americans are co-operating to put across the Friendship Train, here are some of the things that are happening.
