COUSICANA, MAIL 8. 4 FAITH IN THE UN A tall, quiet grey-haired woman is going about the country reporting 'and interpreting the work of the UN. She is Miss Mabel Head, representative of the United Council of Church Women, 10,000,000 strong, at UN meetings in New York. From a life-long experience in welfare work that has included both Y.W.C.A.

and peace organizations programs, she brings -calm authority to her summaries. She says: "We must not become impatient with the UN Security Council. Questions which if kept secret might have resulted in war have found a chance for public'utterance in the Council. Never in history have little nations had the opportunity they now have of appealing to the conscience of the whole world. There -are many obstacles, but the delegates realize some way to peace must be found.

This keeps them working." Many delegates, she reports, have said that "as long as the States keeps up hope, we can kecj up ours." It is easy to view UN deliberations as discouragingly slow. People like Repre- sentatvie Head, aware of the complexities involved, recognize that it does make progress. Americas need to hear often from UN emissaries who can make plain what is beingaccomplished. ROOFING CANTERBURY In May, 1942, German bombs did over a million dollars worth of damage to Britains's Mother of Churches, Canterbury Cathedral. The war-impoverished English could get together less than a quarter of the repair sum.

An American, Thomas Lamont, son of a Methodist minister, wrote the world's kading Anglican, the Arch- bjshop of Canterbery, that he had put at his disposal With the British Embassy in Washington half a million dollars. He added: "The fellowship of our two countries has its roots in our common Christian inheritance, and its expression in the upholding of Christian respect for freedom, the dignity and brotherhood of men." The money was almost enough to meet the cost of the new roof and repair of the stone work. The fine stone was brought from Caen, Normandy hundreds of years ago. Every one who ever- walked under the great Norman arches, visited the little cathedral shops or rested in the beautiful gardens of the close will rejoice along with the English for this gift from the American Methodist. When touring again becomes possible, Lamont's fellow citizens will feel no less than Chaucur of old that Canterbury is an important stop on any English pilgrimage.

Well, Mr. Hoover says we need more to feed Germans, dog-gone it! But we asked for that report and we've gut to stand by it. Anyhow, tax cuts, in a of starving millions, are something too gnnd to be true. American observers report German youths as 'Yyn- ics." They were that before the war, and it doesn't matter so much if they can only be kept off the war ilt may surprise many peo- that Western Reserve University, in Cleveland, is including in its. curriculum a compulsory, course on "great the philosopher Plato, understood and urged that 1 sort of 'instruction away'back before the- beginning of the Christian era.

Music was naturally more -primitive in -his time, with much' less variety than we' mbderns are accustomed but the main essentials were there, ap- preciatect perhaps by sensitive and! intelligent people almost as, much as they are now. Indeed, they may have been even mo-re appreciated because the'means of enter- tainment were then, so 'much i less varied than ours. I It. is not so many years since any.study of the appreciation of music Was regarded as "sissy" by' boys. But ideaj has gone with the snows of yesteryear.

Miisid is now definitely stuff. It is good for the young to know about it as i well as to hear it.

The 'IO thinks that even the most anti-labor Congressman will "watch his step" if he sees letter after letter coming into his office in opposition to his stand.

"And if he is on the fence, or undecided about a particular issue, those letters of yours may be the turning point in winning him over to your side." The importance of letter-writing is drummed over and over again into the minds of members of many other organizations the National League of Women Voters, for instance, and the National Association, of Manufacturers and the U.

ROGERS CUKIOUS RELATIONS, by WU- llam d'Arfey, edited by William Plomer (Sloane; $3.) According to Plomer, he persuaded his friend d'Arfey, pseudonym of a man now dead, to write oome of the stories which he told so entertainingly about members of the families of his parents, the d'Ar- feys and Montfaucons. Except for the father, a person of some accomplishment and strength of character and the mother, they were Edwardian tag- ends of distinguished lineage which had petered out in weakness, eccentricity and abnormality of varying degrees. Though d'Arfey professedly had no literary training, he had taste a-nd extraordinary wit, and he wrote with understanding and affection -of the often hilarious mis- ndventures of numerous aunts, uncles and grandparents and their friends and'servants. There was a granclfather-ln-law who "was a tower of leaning tower, it is there was the father, who) hating a dull dinner, -would watch the clock in a way "which only helped to make the guests, rather than the party, there were the Montfaucon women who would not look at art for fear it would be Indecent, and the men who would not look because they knew it wouldn't be. Then there are the Indy too meted out by the CIO on the TO THE By Jules Verne Chapter 32 MAY remember the intense sympathy which had accompanied the travelers on their departure.

If at the beginning of the enterprise they had excited such emotion both in the old and new world, with what enthusiasm would they be received on their return! The millions of spectators which had beset the peninsula of Florida, would they not rush to meet these sublime adventurers? Those legions of strangers, hurrying from, all parts of the globe toward the American shores, would they leave the Union without having seen Barbicane, Nicholl, and Michel Ardan? No! And the ardent passion of the public was bound to respond worthily to the greatness of the enterprise. Human creatures who had left the terrestrial sphere, and returned after this strange voyage into celestial space, could not fail to be received as the prophet Elias would be if he came back to earth. To see them first, and then to hear them, such was 1 the universal longing. Barbicane, Michel Ardan, Nicholl, and the delegates of the Gun Club, returning without delay to Baltimore, were received with indescribable enthusiasm. The notes of President Barbicane's voyage were ready to be given to the public.

The New York Herald bought the manuscript at a price not yet known, but which must have been very high. Indeed, during the publication of "A Journey to the Moon." the, sale of this paper amounted to' five millions of copies. Three days after the return of the travelers to the earth, the slightest' detail of their expedition was known. There remained nothing more but to see the heroes of this, superhuman enterprise.

the white man's Day Bv Day By WUllnm T. Ellis Its past, present, and future had even given up their last secrets. Who could advance objections against conscientious observers, who at less than twenty-four miles distance had marked that curious mountain of Tycho, the strangest system of lunar orogra- phy? How answer those savants whose sight had penetrated the abyss of Pluto's circle? How contradict those bold ones whom the chances of their enterprise had borne over that invisible face of the disc, which no human eye until then had ever seen? It was now their turn to impose some limit on that selenographic science, which had reconstructed the lunar world as Cuvier did the skeleton of a fossil, and say, "The moon teas this, a habitable world, inhabited before the earth I The moon is that, a world uninhabitable, and now uninhabited." celebrate the return of its most illustrious member and his two companions, the Gun Club decided upon giving a banquet, but a banquet worthy of the conquerors, worthy of the American people, and under such conditions that all the inhabitants of the Union could directly take part in it. All the head lines of railroads in the States were joined by flying rails; and on all the platforms, lined with the same flags, and decorated with the same ornaments, were tables laid and all served alike. At certain hours, successively calculated, marked by the the population wtre invited to take their place at the banquet tables.

For four days, from the 5th to the 9th of January, the trains were stopped as they are on Sundays on the railways of the United States, and every road was open. One engine only at full speed, drawing a triumphal carriage, had the right of traveling for those four days on the railroads of the United States. The engine was manned by a driver a stoker, and borje by special favor, the Hon. J. T.

Thus they sped from ne town to the other, finding wHe populations at table on ir ro.ad, saluting them with the ame acclamations, lavishing bravos!

Will they go from one plan, to another, from Jupiter to ercury, and after awhile from star to another, 1 from the Polar Sirius? Will this means of locoin allow us to visit those sui which swarm in the firmament To such questions answer can be given. But kniving the bold ingenuity of th. Anglo- Saxon race, no one 'ould be astonished if the Ameriins seek to make some use of Tosident Barbicane's attempt.

HE CIO advises that the congressman "is human, too," It suggests that "request" and "call attention to" letters are better on his constitution than the "we demand that you do such and such" type- Because congressmen are busy men, the CIO urges that letters be brief and to the point. "Put your congressman to work for you," the journal says, adding that the mai is in Washington to work for all his constituents. It suggests that in addition to telling your congressman what you think about bills, ask him where he stands. Pat the man on the back when he makes a good speech or votes right, or gives you some special service. At all times, be yourself.
