I can remember way back when Chicago radio stations observed a sijent night each Monday to give listeuers a chance to tune iu or out ot town stations. And I remember the tin ears we. contacted from wearing heavy ear phonefe until 3 or 4 A. M. while wo tried to get Harry Snodgrass, the prison pianist In Jefferson City. # I wonder what Don meant the other day when in respouae to my hale and hearty "Well Donnie nte boy, how's the world treating yob?" He replied. "Not very often." Speaking of baseball, sofbball and the like. There wasn't much real baseball dished up In that'CamdenManning game last Thursday. A lot ot fau^ turned out to see Lefty Mc#uut his wares, but It wasn't the day for the southpaw. It took the Manning lads a few frimes to sound him out and then?wham?they hit him fast and furious. Rlgglns went In and fared little better. . And while the Camden Juniors were taking it on the chin from Manning, Jake Haynes* Starlets were given a workover by a nice-working group ot maidens from Hartsvllle. The usual snappy defense and hardhitting offense of the Starlets was missing and we frankly admit the home gang was lucky to lose only by a 13 to in score. The Haynes-Kendall Softball game Kheduled for last Friday night had to be postponed owing to the absence of the Kendall team from the Bailiwick. Captain Artie Robinson's had a date with Conway, arranged before the city league schedule was made up. The two teams will play off the game in a double-feature later. * * Seems like old times at the Softball arena. Even Generalissimo Lilly, who used to pilot the Merchant's team two years ago, motors over to the games and last Wednesday did a nice job of umpiring at first. "Pop" Halle, Dr. Corbett. John Villepigue and others. former gallery gods, are back again in the old haunts out in far right field But to get into the big topic of the day?WAR. Up to the end of last wf.uk so f?r nothing of a definite nature regarding what Italy was doing known Guess nobody's back had been turned. * The French finally got the Germans running around in circles?but it happened to be around Paris. * Shaking of speed, speed and more spt^d Would suggest our congressmen and senators take a slant at *hat happened in France. The Nazis move with speed. That is jupt how *e must move if we are to avoid *"hat has happened to France and about ten other nations. Hitler and Mussolini are bad eggs and if Hitler decides to come to Fort Knox to grab ?ur gold and Mussolini wants to return the dagger to Roosevelt, we must be ready. And getting ready lsnt puttering and spluttering Jn. ^ashlng'on j Speed, speed and more speed calls ^or us to do something Immediately, 1,000 Plane Engines Each Week Promised Pateraou. N. J.. June 15. Peace time military grandeur colored dedication today a huge uuit at the Wright Aeronautical corporation plant which will he capable of turning out 1.000 airplane motors weekly. Guy W. Vaughan, company president, referred to the peak capacity and the record 57-day plant tonatiuction with the assertion: "Another such type building can be erected lit case this country needs it for defense purposes." A dozen army planes droned overhead during the exercises which were oombined with a ttag day celebration by the city. Seveu thousand spectators watched a parade of 1,000 men. moat of them Wright employees, two tanks and the entire motorized equipment of the New Jersey National Guard'e 16.5th Field artillery. Army, navy and marine officers, inspected the plant afterwards. The series of connected building add 540,000 square feOt of floor space to facilities. Each uuit was put in operation as soon as completed and Is practically all In use now. A penknife weighing 42 pounds and having 1.851 blades is the largest ever made. It is valued at more than $7,600. to do everything wo would do If we were to wake up some morning and find that the French army has been wiped out, the British navy surrendered and Hitler and Mussolini loaded troop ships for a dash across the sea for an American invasion. * Gosh, what with the heat and the war news the past week has sure been a tough one for everybody. * Now that Germany has beaten France to her knees, Hitler will probably give his forces a rest for several weeks and then with the aid of the wops launch a blitzkrieg against England. * ? ? With all duo respect to the New Deal we agree with a writer for the Charlotte Observer who calls attention to the fact that Roosevelt took office at the same time Hitler came into power in Germany, and while Hitler with only a small fraction of our resources has terrorized the world and conquered Europe, we, reputedly the strongest people on earth, have shown ourselves incapable of operating, let aloud defending our own democracy. * For Instance, of all the blatherskitIng rubbish dished up last week iu Washington was the statement of Madam Eleanor that she opposes compulsory military training because she doesn't believe the country is ready for it. Take it from me madam that is also what Herr Hitler Is banking on. Did you know that last Friday the United States sent out war debt bills to 13 natlonB. -Most- of them were sent care of Adolph Hitler. In Columbia the business men are so exercised over the small gain made by that city during the past ten years they have started a movement to pay a dime for the listing of the name of every person who was not counted in the census Just completed. * m m m It is interesting to note that all over the country there is a note of astonishment at the small increase in the population of American cities. What increase has taken place has occurred in the rural districts of the west aud midwest. * Speaking of the west and midwest, we talked with a chap from Chicago a few days ago and he said folks out that way are amused at the hysteria of the eaBt and south over the war situation. He says the folks out that way are all for giving every aid possible^ to the allies but to send American boys overseas?NEVER. His suggestion that the* senators and others who are urging Uncle Sam to grab a gun and I hop into the fracas right away, be ! among the first to enlist, otherwise be dubbed cowards, Is a good one. Visioning Hitler becoming the master of all Europe, either in possession of the British fleet or in possession of shipbuilding facilities which are many time? our own, in Norway, Belgium, Britain and Holland, the New York Times boldly declares that the time baa come when. In the interest of self protection, the American people should at once adopt a national system of universal compulsory military training. We say this as a newspaper which has never before believed In the wisdom^ such a policy in time of peace. We say it because the logic of events drives us remorselessly to this conclusion. ? * n,iA?n wilhelmina denies the story JTpUnnm* to ?0 to the Dutch But Indies to rnlo.
