Equally grave is the implication of Prof. Pollock's remark that he "should like the career service of Michigan to be flexible enough to identify and reward genuine merit at the same time it conducts a constant war on dry rot and extravagance." Civil service, he rightly contends, should not be "predominantly a protective mechanism." It should not in other words, serve to protect the jobs of the incompetent, along with those of the deserving.

Yet it Is common knowledge that it is difficult to get rid of an inadequate employe and that the rer taining of incompetent workers sometimes makes It impossible to promote earnest, energetic ones. Prof. Pollock would not call attention to these conditions if he did not believe in the essential soundness of civil service and the need for keeping the merit system. One of the country's foremost students of political science, he knows that a civil service system that is internally weak can easily become prey to the patronage plunderers who would destroy it. While Pollock does not suggest It, perhaps what Michigan needs today is a special committee composed of persons of his interest and stature, to review the history of civil service in Michigan and make concrete proposals on how to strengthen it.

October 18, 1954 THE PEACB PKKKE PARADOX announcement of the Swedish" Academy that it would not award a Nobel Peace Prize this year was of course no surprise.

No one in the worJd has done much to promote peace as that word has been' understood until now. And so far as the foreseeable future goes, it.looks very much as if Nobel Peace Prizes are not likely to be forthcoming in the years ahead. The peoples of the are beginning to feel that anyone working for peace in the tradition of Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt, both Nobel prize winners, would be more likely to promote war than peace. That is the paradox of the Nobel Peace Prize at this moment. The people who give most lip- service to the cause of peace, namely the Russians, represent the greatest menace to world peace.

The Swedish Academy may have to reverse completely its program for the award; it may have to give the prize to the man in the free world who works hardest for the building up of armaments. Again paradoxically, it looks as if stiff preparation for war is the only guarantee for peace that is left in this insane HFNTS FOR WITJLS "I have a good deal of money and should like to leave a bequest for the town in my will. What would you suggest?" This question is occasionally asked lawyers by wealthy clients, and gets varying answers. In Templeton, the advice was given to endow a hotel. Many small towns have very unattractive accommodations for the visitor who wishes to stay for a few days.

The reason is, of course, lack 01 money with which to do better. In Templeton the endowment left In accordance with this suggestion provided for an excellent inn, which traveling salesmen, among others, went out of their way to stop at. Two and rising costs may have made the inn a casualty, but it rendered years of service. Now another Massachusetts town West Brookfield, has received $100,000 for a public library.

world. It may be that the Swedish Academy may have to award its peace prize to a man like Thomas K. Finletter, who won fame as Secretary of the Air Force, and who increased his reputation recently by writing a book in which he advocates building up such a mighty air defense in the United States that Russia will not dare to make a sneak attack. That would be ironical indeed if the Nobel Peace Prize should go to one who urges the spending of S18 billion a year for the next five years as an announcement to Russia that an atomic attack on America would mean that Russia herself would be annihilated. But, unfortunately, it is in accordance with the logic of events in the most insane period in the world's history.

Peace can no longer be attained, or even partially maintained, through the use of words. The free world is up against a force that cannot be argued with in words; it can be persuaded only by acts. America will have to remain stronger in the air than Russia if peace is to be maintained. And the Nobel Peace Prize could logically go to anyone who attains this end. That paradox is a measure of the world's insanity at this moment.

Michigan in Washington By Esther Van Wagoner Tufty A BRITISH correspondent joined a group of reporters having unch at the National Press Club the day Secretary of Defense Chaiies Wilson made his unfortunate remark about preterring jird dogs to kennel dogs. Obviously the Britisher just couldn't understand why every newspaper and radio service was playing up the story. "Americans are so kind and friendly, why do they jump with such glee on a poor bloke who didn't happen to express himself very well?" The more we explained, the mere befuddled he became.

(UP)--Gordon Elferdink of Three Oaks, Democratic nominee for Congress from the Fourth District has asked Rep. Clare E. Hoffman to name the Communists he (Hoffman) claims supported legislation to create a stable fair employment practices commission. Hoffman a week ago charged that Communists were behind a bill to create FEPC in the Legislature last spring.

Elferdink, who is running against Hoffman, immediately asked the Allegan congressman to name the Communists who were behind the controversial bill.

GUEST EDITORIAL HE WANTS TO SAVE TT Civil service in Michigan has had no belter fnend than Prof. James Pollock of the University of Michigan Pollock, in fact, was one of the persons who set up civil service in this state. And now he spr-ms a little appalled at the course it has taken. One of his chief criticisms is that civil service has become a sort of fourth branch of the state government, outside the executive, judicial and legislative branches. That point can't be disputed.

It's attitude has been exemplified by way it arbitrarily has decided on and ordered salary increases without discussing the matter beforehand with the legislature, which has the responsibility of raising the additional money needed. Needless antagonism to civil service has arisen in the lejyislature as a result of such actions. Press Comment DENMARK'S HARD LESSON Denmark is a tiny country of 4,000,000 but it has learned the hard way that an economic binge can produce an awfully big headache. Only a year ago, according to a Reuters dispatch, after the fifth successive good harvest, the Danes decided that prosperity had come to stay. Direct taxation was reduced, import restrictions eased or abandoned and virtually no limit remained on the amount of currency-available for foreign travel.

Never before in Danish history were so many shiny new American automobiles streets. There seen were on the ambitious programs for building schools, barracks, hospitals and houses. Individuals were permitted to borrow money at two per cent on 100 year building mortgages out of funds on which the government had to pay between five and six per cent. Meanwhile the price situation moved against the Danes. Coffee, which they love inordinately, went so high that their bill for it was more than they spent on automobiles and trucks.

Fodder, so important to Denmark, similarly rose in price because of the poorest crop in many years. The inevitable result was that Denmark's reserve of dollar exchange dropped from $54,600,000 in 1953 to $700,000 by the end of last June. Now comes the hard task of paying the piper. The government intends to ask for higher taxes on gasoline, beer, spirits, cigars and other so called luxuries, and an increase of bank rates to five and one-half per cent. Another possibility devaluation of the kroner which would afford temporary relief in a situation caused by the Danes' own unrealistic and risky economic policies.

Records for registration were Day's Thought IF A FAMILY IS to have a satisfactory home lite, then the family relationships must be built upon the Bible. There can be no other foundation, no other rule that is sufficient for faith and practice. Just as the faith of the individual Christian must stem from a knowledge of the Word of God, even so the ideal home life must rest solidly upon the teaching of the Scriptures.

Basically, the responsibility of seeing that the Bible has its proper place in the home rests with the parents. If the parents do not set the example, they may expect little of their children tn the way of regard of things divine. The home of Timothy was blessed with a Christian mother and grandmother. The unfeigned faith which dwelt in Timothy first dwelt in his grandmother Lois and in his mother Eunice. Moreover, Timothy was blessed with a knowledge of the Holy Scriptures from the time he was a child.

His recollections from his earliest childhood were filled with the glorious teachings of the Scriptures. What an example for parents in today's world! All too often mothers do not take time to teach then- children the priceless truths of the Bible. They turn them over, rather to the baneful trash of comic books. There is no substitute for the teaching of the Scriptures in the Hfe of a growing child. And nothing can compensate for the lack of such teaching.

If our children are to be God fearing In their daily lives and are to grow into men and women who desire to build Christian homes they must receive Ihoir Chiistian instruction early in life so that it may be woven into the warp and woof of their being. When parents wait until their chUdron pass through the golden me'rrory period to begin to instil into their little minds and hearts the precious truths of the Holy Word, they have waited too long They can never in all the world accomplish what they might have accomplished had they begun earlier with their spiritual instruction. We do not see the family at its best too often in America today Too many of our homes have pushed God on the bonier of things so that little time is given for Him and His Word. What a tragedy!
