Compton, prosid?nt ofj the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology, says the nation would be bet ter off if control of industry and-of government were in the hands of en gineers rather than of bankers and lawyers. I agree with Dr. Compton that an induabry run by engineers is more likely to serve society than is one run by-En<fTbr bankers. 1 have seen some great enterprise fall because the em^ phasis WHS placed on profits rather than on quality of the product, I have seei) otherf’succeed greatly because all of the intelligence and effort waa devoted* to making things asTwell as they could be made and selling Uwm as cheaply as they could be sold. ^ In the long run, -it is facts, not the ories, which control the progress and destinies of nations. Engineers deal in facts. That is seldom true of poli ticians. es Pwd By Methodist V~ . - /• Excdleni Reports Made AJ ' :lileeling~-of Greenwoodr Dis trict Including: Clirdon.

FLYING—Trans-AUantic Service Just as everything seemed all set for the early starting of a' trans- Atlantic air mail and passenger plane seivicc, a dispute has arisen between British and American interests as to whether New York or Montreal should be the terminal at this end. No matter how that is settled, how ever, there will he a new air service across the Atlantic this year.

The other was a dispatch-from Bucharest saying that :Armed soldiers had been posted in front of every Masonic lodge quarters in Roumania, as a means of enforc ing the government’s decree for the dissolution of Masonic organizations. The reason a highly respected and useful institutii^n is exalted in Amer ica and suppressed in part of Europe is, chiefly, that European Ma- pile bent timber bridges. 141 man days — Salvaging lumber and constructing camp garagq. 465- mail-days—Razing 20 TOde.sir- able buildings on acquired land. 3,855 man days — Erosion control work bn approximately 106 acres. 199 man days—Forest culture, nur series, field planting. 25 man days—Fire pre-suppression. 28 man days—Fire preventions. 254 man days—^Fighting 21 fires and answering 14 false alarms. The above is an outline of what has been accomplished by F-10 during what might termed “work time.” Many of the^ctivities of this camp are carried on outside of work hours. Much time has been on improving and landscaping the grounds. Walkways havb been bordered with hand-placed |x>ck and the surface of all walks has been top-soiled. Many flowers and shrubs have been planted and a faith- effort has been made to have a pretty, lawn. The effort along this line is now showing up pleasingly. The company has alwiysi taken a ucational prbgram. Under the guid ance of the camp educational adviser the program has been ^^ucCWsfully carrj^ on along academic and voca tional lines. The academic classes of fer courses v4ry similar to those of grammar schools. The assistance ren dered the educational work at F-10 by statistic.^ ‘commissionr who a.sscrted the labor department “has never made any estimate whatever of un employment.” “If Senator Vandenberg’s.. calcu lations were correct,” he said, “4,000,- 00 more people woulld be at work in the United States than there were employW at the'peak of the 1929 boom.” The" question of unemployment figures also had'"the attention to day of some house members. 'PKb' house census committee was asked to meet Tuesday to consider legis lation for the first nation-wide cen sus of unemployed. Chairman Mahon (Democrat, Tex as') of a subcommittee considering the bill, said he believed it would not be approved.
