NttlONM ABVHrmiNO KMISINTATIW NATIONAL EDiTOriAl Long Shot Bets Most people have a touch of the gambler in their make-up. But a few go to extremes in wagering on the horses, the dice, the sel-, and other unbeatable games.

However, many millions do the most dangerous gambling in the without knowing it. They risk their lives, their savings, their by taking unnecessary chances. 'ambling with fire is a perfect example. Do you pile up junk you know what to do with in closets and attics? Do you put off un- lorrow the repair of that frayed electric cord When you lack a se, do you put a penny behind a burned out one to restore the Do you luxuriate in bed with a cigarette going? Do you keep ig a heating system that doesn't seem quite as efficient as it to be, without calling in an expert to look it over? Do you store and solvents and other such flammables in any old open con- that comes to hand When you have a chance to hear about during Fire Prevention you open your mind or do you figure it's a dull business and no concern of yours? A list such as this could DC extended for many pagjjes. These ar just a few of the "long- shot" bets that can result in a do exactly that on thousands upon thousands of occasions in this country each year.

The result is more than 10,000 horrible deaths and a property loss of over. $700,000,000. Are these gambles worth it Proven National Defense The unification of the Armed Forces has long been a controversial issue. Everyone agrees that we must get the most possible defense for each dollar spent, and that wasteful duplication and overlapping should be eliminated in the interest of both economy and efficiency. However, there is a grave danger that, in seeking these desirable ends, we may do inestimable damage to our military effectiveness.

As an example, several changes in the unification law have been proposed. In the view of experts, they could result 'in the elimination of the Marine Corps and Naval Aviation, with the first being absorbed into the Army and the second into the Air Force. To all practical purposes, both might disappear. the fight against the construction of new larger carriers for the based on the claim of Air Force partisans that the land-based plane can do practically everything should another war come, a claim as yet unproven. Within a few days after war begins, they say, we will disrupt and paralyze the enemy's industry, communications, lines of supply, and so destroy his capacity to fight.

Therefore, why carry the burden of great navies and ground forces That story had its exact counterpart at the beginning of the last war. Goering, to take a single example, was absolutely convinced his Luftwaffe could bring England to her knees. Yet, in the actual course of the war, navies, with aircraft carriers, proved absolutely essential. So did the land armies. The traditional weapons, no less than the new, played vital roles.

Nothing has yet appeared to substantially change the picture. We hear talk of planes which will girdle the world with huge loads. But those planes do not as yet exist. In the meantime, national security demands a fair balance between the various fighting services and the retention and further development of as the Marines and Naval have proven themselves so magnificently. 12 to 24 MONTHS GUARANTEE ON SOUTHLAND Fiberglas BATTERIES $10.91 UP JONES ELECTROMOTIVE SERVICE Rear of Everett's Gulf Station Telephone 295-W Frankenstein FROM "THE NEWS" Down Memory Lane 50 YEARS AGO June 9, 1893 At the home of the bride's parents, Mr.

When Paul called himself the chief of sinners he was probably remembering his days as a persecutor, when he had stood by and held the garments of those who stoned Stephen to death.

He remembered, too, how he had gone from that tragic scene on his way to Damascus, breathing out threatening and slaughter against those of the new-found faith, of which he himself was so soon to become the chief disciple. No such dark blot of violence and persecuting zeal may be upon you and me. We can claim no distinction in our sin, but if we say we have no sin, as John reminds us (I John we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. So Jesus came into the world to save us. It was in accomplishing our salvation that Jesus went the way of death and the cross.

As Paul states it (Romans "God com- mendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners Christ died for us." In what spirit, then, do we approach those last sad scenes in the life of our Lord, His death and burial? Are they to us only tragic events in a far-off past, evoking a measure of sympathy, and of compassionate interest as we read of the women at the tomb, of the failure and repentance of Peter, of the devotion of Joseph of Arimathea? We know how Paul would have answered those questions. The experiences of Jesus as He moved toward Calvary, was crucified, and buried, and rose again, were so real to the Apostle that he: wrote: "1 am crucified with Christ; nevertheless I live; yet not but Christ liveth in me, and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God. who loved me, and gave himself for me." rGalatians will attend summer school and will receive his master's degree in journalism in July from Oklahoma Stillwater, Okla.
