To a differ- i-nl degn-e this is true also of lar.u'o parts Asia. America, so far, alone lias escaped, and continues lit'o of civilixc-d comfort, lint the reminds this country that A'ood plumbing did not save the K'oman Kmpire, and material assets will not save America should a third world break.

Such a calamity, while it mi.nht not destroy mankind, would usher hundreds of years of darkness, he believes Prof. Woodward, recognized international authority and official British Historian on World War II, is devoting considerable time during his stay in the I'nited States to lectures and writings stressing the need for some kind of inter- nationai control or world government "to save civilization. Certainly the Words of a man with tho backgi'ound of this Kng- Jishman deserve attention, as do those of Winston Churchill, urging t.he Stales of Europe. Work For The Blind Hundreds of persons who are handicapped hy blindness cnn nowadays enrn their living' in hitherto closed to them. A Chicago the Illinois Industries for the Blind, has trained more than 801) workers, fitting them for employment in private industries.

The sightless people will tagg'ht. to run lathes, drill- presses and rivet.ting machines, compensating fnr their lack of sight by the 1 raining' of their other senses. One proof of the practical value of their work is the fact that goods produced last year were valued at £750,000. The blind, like those handicapped in other ways, do not want coddling paternalistic treatment.

They want the seli'-respect which comes only from useful work well Better Lawmakers Legislatures like to reform other -hy not reform themselves? The Council of Stnto Otoverriments, a semiofficial body 1 supporter! by the states to advise them on governmental problems, has just, made 12 recommendations for improving the work of state legislatures. They arc asked to do what Congress has jnsf. done in reducing; thevnumber of committees and arranging for adequate trained help. In addition the states are urged to drop constitutional provisions limiting the lawmakers' salaries and the length of sessions. No fewer than 32 states out.

of the 48 limit legislative sessions, 21 of them to f50 days and South Carolina and "Wyoming to 40. This is a good way to ensure that nothing useful will lie done. It is only too easy for enemies of proposed laws to stall thorn along until it is too late for passage. The limitation idea comes from the theory that all legislatures are bad and that (lie more they are l)ohl)lod, Ihe better. If any state really thinks that, its citizens should do something more drastic than merely limiting the time during- which a legislature may There is another scientific argument between the nnti-freexe sisters, ethyl and Do You Remember?

The newcomer to Japan turned out to be Ray Currier, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Currier, Ward street.

Needless to. say the two eivjoyed talking over old times. Mary Margaret Donovan, president of the Water-bury Undergraduate Chapter of New Rochelle College, has written The News a gracious letter of thanks for the space given the dance recently held by the chapter.
