New Winter Style—
Mr. John Streets erstwhile table
waiter was seen on the street in
IB below zero weather attired in
one of the most beautiful and thin
nest raincoats that was ever seen
in these parts. The boys around
24th and Lake are beginning to
wonder if that is the new style for
1940 or just a plain case of the man
thought that it might rain. You
know, its been funny weather here
of late. Nothing like being pre
pared or maybe the gent forgot
where he (pawned it). I mean left
it and those patten leather pumps,
really did look cool and comfort
able. The boys envied Mr. Streets
outfit, because he really looked
swell, But how he felt in that IB
below 1 don’t know. But I do know
that you can’t bet all the bank roll
on one ace and check two aces. The
boys learned me to bet all on two
aces and pass just one—try it next.

the newly decorated Danceland, for
merly the Deluxe, 18th and Dodge

floor. Check room accommodations
very large. James Jewell wants
all of his patrons to know that he

crowd, something like 1,000 on the
26th. So come early and enjoy the

out now. You can’t eat anything
that tastes better for a nickel—he
says business is good and wants to
thank you for your patronage and
hopes you eat more Kraklin in ’40.

| HELLO; Co-workers, suppose
' just, for once, you read your Ush
ers “Manual” especially the part,
where it tells you what time you
are to be on duty, when you know
its your Sunday to work. I was
surprised last Sunday when I vis
ited several churches to find so few
I ushers on duty. The first Sunday
j in the New Year. That didn’t
make a very good showing for your
New Year’s Resolution or did you
make one?” Of course, the nite
services were better as I noticed
most of the locals fairly well rep
resented.
Due to an oversight we forgot to
mention the new address of our
president, Mrs. Young, in the fut
ure you may find her at 2301 North
25th St. By the way; while on the
subject all you Presidents and
Chairmans will have a chance to
see where she lives because next
Sunday January 14th is Cabinet
meeting and its to be held at her
home, so don’t be ]ate—3 p. m. you
know is the time.
We were glad to see so many Us
hers out to the joint service that
was held over to St. Johns last Sun
day nite.
Please remember, if you don’t
see any news of your local its be
cause your reporter failed to turn
in any.

PRINT TO HANG IN
OHIO EXHIBITION
- I
Dayton, O., Jan. 4 (ANP)—
Hughie Lee-Smith, well known
Cleveland artist and head of the I
department of fine art at Clafln uni-1

his lithograph titled “Artist Life
No. 1” has been selected for in
clusion in the 13th annual Ohio

Dayton Art Institute.
EDUCATION
Education has many functions in
times like these, and one of those
functions is to enable its products
to stand upon their own intellectual
feet. We need only examine the
mass appeals of our day and the
mass responses to see how easily
the people are swept from solid
footing to tragedy; or how often
they grope blindly in morass and
jungle for a patch of earth both sat
isfying and secure. Herein lies a
momentous peril to democracy. We
may shout the virtues of democracy
from every house top; we may
write of them upon every scrap of
paper which men read, but until the
people are able to examine propa
ganda critically and are disposed
to put demagoguery down, the fall
of democracy merely awaits the
overwhelming persuasive voice, the
strong arm, and the dictorial will.
If the schools do not furnish a cit
izenry whose minds are their pro
tection against propaganda, to
whom shall we look?
From the instant a man is born
and before, there play upon him in
fluences which tend at any moment
of decision to warp his judgement.
The country in which he lives, the
race to which he belongs, the street
on which he resides, and innum
erable other factors all contribute
to his bias. It is a function of ed
ucation to overcome this irrational
leaning in an individual and to en
able him to approach his problems
and to arrive at his decisions on the
basis of thinking clear and untram
meled.
Another enemy to an objective
approach by men to their problems
is the strong emotional strain in
human beings. It is true that the
heart has reasons which reason
does not always understand; but
there is a kind of emotion which
does not even stem from the heart;
it is pure effervescence, and it is
dangerous. It makes mobs poss
ible and mob action. It is the re
sort of men who have reached their
intellectual extremities. It robs
men of such reason as they may
possess and thus reduces their sta
ture to that of less than men. It
makes them unpredictable. The
schools can, if they will, provide a
gainst this, and it is their duty so
to do. One who knows the rah rah
spirit of the American college
might well question whether that
institution is not beter prepared'
rather to promote the enslavement
to emotions than to discourage it.
There is no question but that the
