Stanton This week, which bei'im the Lenten neason, will be fealui-ed by the observance Friday of World Day of Prayer, a rcliirious activity showinir remarkable growth in late years. World Day of Prayer was begun in 1887 by the Pres byterian Church. J'or many years the observance remained a denominational activity. In late years, however, it has become interdenominational and has (frown to include all jinrts of the world. This year's program is expected to receive participation far in excess of any former record. The prayers of Christians will follow the sun. At Tonga Island, at 1 p. m. Friday (which will be Thursday bore in Oregon) Queen Ralote will kneel with Christians among her remote island subjects, the first population group beyond the international date line. In each succeeding time zone, the 1 o'clock hour will find Christians uniting in prayers of praise and of suppli cation lor fellowship and good will among men. The last service will be held in St. Lawrence Islands, Alaska. Numerous programs will be held in Douglas County communities. In Koscburg church bells will signal a Call to Prayer, at which time a one-minute pause in all activity is urged, while everyone unites in silent prayer. Special ser vices will be held in St. Ceorge's Episcopal Church. Spiritual Revival Evident The observance in Douglas County is sponsored by the Council of Church Women, an organization of Christian women representing evangelical and orthodox Protestant churches. Their efforts are directed toward a united and cooperative program for Christian missionary work thoiigliout the entire world. They are hopeful that through expansion of missionary fields it will be possible to solve many of the problems confronting a troubled world. The growing interest in World Day of Prayer is but another evidence of a great spiritual revival which appears to be sweeping the world. People of all nations have been under extreme tension for many years. Political ideologies, the spread of aggres sion, the conflicts of power politics have disturbed many minds. The common man has become increasingly aware of the futility of war as a solution to problems and dis agreements between nations and philosophies. Nor is the common man unaware of the potential disaster to civilization posed by the atomic weapons now in the hands of antagon istic, nations. Mankind is searching for escape from the terrible danger which threatens. In this search he Is turning to the one and only sal vation, the revival of spiritual values. Beliefs Proclaimed As uu look or signs of this spiritual revival, we find evidence on every hand. One is found in the growing co operation among religious denominations which until re cent years maintained strong doctrinal competition. Har riers erected by dogma are crumbling rapidly. The power of the (iospel has been shown by the interest manifest all over the world, particularly as evidenced by the tremen dous receptions given Kvangelist Hilly (iraham, who has become known as the Christian Ambassador. Another interesting evidence of the trend is seen in the! current fashion for testimonials of religious faith and be lief by world leaders. Radio and television carry a number of special programs of this character. Starting Wednes day in The XcwK-Ki'vicir, men and women of great prom- inence, throughout the t'nited States will tell of their own; personal experiences, as they tesify to the (lower of the: Christian faith. We bear much lalk of treaties, pads, laws, rules and, regulations to solve the problems of government. But there! is one rule, The Colden Rule, which would, if observed in; spirit, meet every problem which confronts mankind. ; As we celebrate World Day of Prayer, we would do well lo seek Divine guidance and strength that we might I aid in making the Colden Rule the pattern of our own lives, while influencing others throughout the world to join with us in our resolution. vy f " "bet us have faith that right makes might; and in that faith let fM'- us to the end, dare to do our duty dtft1, 'l&lwrs .s we understand it".

Rules Windfalls Were Improper ALKN AND RIA, Va. Fed eral Judge Albert V. Bryan ruled Saturday that alleged "windfall" profits from government-hacked apartment projects in Ohio and Virginia were improper. Bryan's decision paved the way for the government to proceed with legal steps to recover some 2'i million dollars il contends u.i paid out in profits from the liexer Iv Manor project at Columbus, Ohio, and the Shirley Duke proj ect in Alexandria. The judge ordered dismissal of a suit by the project developers lo prevent the government from taking them over. Government attorneys had looked for Ihe decision as a tei m their efforts to recapture what they label excessive profits from rental housing protects backed by government insured loans. Federal Housing Administration last ear launched a drive to net back possibly many millions of dol lars reaped by builders in the gov ernment's postwar housing pro gram. Senate investigators earlier had reported fortunes were liarx esied by developers who obtained i;o -eminent-!) a c k e d mortgages for amounts considerably in eces .if hudditiii costs. Sen. Capehart iR lndi charged that builders pocket ed from "iHI million to a billion dollars in resulting "windfalls."

But it must be remembered thai the period of the Uiijo s was a period of strange architectural ideas. The simplicity and unimpeachable good taste of early New Kngland and the Old South were giving way to doodads and thingumbobs. But. in spite of the lastes of (he j period m which it was built, the iold hotel has an impressive dig i nity of its own. Its most fabulous single asset Is j its vast main dining room. It must be a block long, with immense i windows opening on the ocean at i one end and on the inner court at j the other. It has a vaulted roof, ! supported by wooden arches, j I'm no good at figures and if I ever heard 1 can'l remember how i manv it seats, but I'm rcasonablv certain that an infanlry hattalion , could be fed in it with plenty of i room to spare. It was built for the elite of an ' ostentatious period and contained all the facilities necessary for the upper echelons of the society of that time. There were extensive quarters for the servants of the nabobs of the Gay Nineties and the registration books contained ample space for the listing of the domestic retainers of the guests who were brought along when the well endowed families of the East ern upper crust came to Califor nia !o spend the "'inter. The old Holel del Coronado had plenty of glitter in those glittering days that now are past. All of which leads me up to what really impresses me about the old place now. F.urope has plenty of Ihese ancient and time honored hostelries that were built for the rich and the great. Since they were built of stone, they nev er burned. And They NEVER CHANGED. They were built for the rich and the great, and they have remained the habitat of the rich and the yreat. At least they did until a few years ago when Europe began to be swamped by the tide of Ameri can tourists. No European commoner has ever felt at home in them for in them he has alwavs been OUT OF HIS CASTE. It is true that the old Coronado was built for the rich and the ;reat. And it is st range! v true that despite the fact that it was built of wood it has never burned. That is doubtless due to the fact that it w as eartv equipped with automatic sprinklers that go on u li e n a fire starts an v vvh e re ami promptly douses the flames, So it lias remained as a monument of tin past. Rut, unlike its counterparts in Europe, it has changed with the times. No longer is it the exclusive bailiwick of those who have it m wads most of it inherited. lis stately halls are now trod by the feet of Americans of all kinds and its spacious grounds now ring with the laughter of the children of the AMERICAN PEOPLE. Its w i mining pools and its tennis courts are used by the teen-agers of parents who never heard of the Social Register duly in America could that hao pen. So. when you visit the old Coronado. you get a tinnle of pride in vour country, and what it is and how it works and what it makes posMhle for EVERYBODY, that is well worth while. East Side Promoter May Seek Council Seat PORTLAND :P Joe Dobbins, who is leading the initiative drive to force location of Portland's pro posed eidit million dollar sports center on the East Side, may run for city councilman. He said he was considering filing for the post now held by Council m.tn Stanley Earl. Dobbins' group seeks to overturn a decision to locate the center in Portland's downtown, YA est Side district. Social Order At Fault, Claims Oakland Resident OAKLAND It is quite evident that we are committing the same grave error in attempting to ef fect a remedy of the ills of the social'body, as we are in the case of ills of the physical body. We are attempting to effect a cure by treating the symtoms instead of finding the cause, and then re moving it, which is the only way to genuinely remedy any ill or evil. Our error arises from giving our social problems a superficial consideration rather man a lunua mental consideration. I wish here specifically to refer to delinquency, not just juvenile delinquency, but any and all delinquency, and in fact all criminality, for fundamen tally the only difference is in the degree of seriousness of the of fense, all the other factors are the same. If we are to give ihe subject a fundamental consideration we must it art with an exhaustive inquiry as to just what causes an individual to behave as he does. When we do this we find that every human in dividual thinks, sperks and acts exactly as he is impelled to by his own peculiar mental and phy sical makeup, and the factors of the environment in which he is cast. We find that changes in the individual's behavior can be made only as changes are made in these factors. We find that human char acter is very largely the product of the environment in which it ue velopes. It is clearly indicated that todav the character and behavior of the people of any communitv, state or nation is very largely de termined and induced by the re action of the individuals to the so cial, economic and cultural prac tices which prevail. Since these prevailing social, economic and cultural practices are established and maintained by the whole people, the social body, and, since the individual's conduct is determined by his strength or weakness and consequent reaction to the environment, it follows that the responsibility and accountabil ity for the individual's behavior - falls upon society as a whole, and not upon the individual. What sense jlhen. is there in condemning and .punishing the weak, helpless delin quent, while we persist in estab lishing and maintaining social-eco-; nomic and cultural conditions i which are conducive of his delin quency? Doubtless, the, most con demnable feature of all is the fact 'that in our social - economic sys tem the individual is encouraged, ; induced and required to promote this own interests to the full extent ; of his ability and opportunities, al . most regardless of how this may 'reflect upon the welfare of more ! than a few others, j Before we can deal successfully .with the problem of crime and delinquency we must first stop i making that type of character. iThis can be done only be establish ing ana maintaining a social order tall the factors of which are con i ducivc to righteous human char acter. I We must teach ourselves, and i realize, that the interests of the individual are best promoted by i first prom ilng the interests of the whole people, by giving our first consideration to the welfare of others. We must establish a social order in which the incentive to j commit both conscious and uncon- I Crown-Up Delinquency Vs. Juvenile Delinquency ! MYRTLE CREEK I have ibeen reading with interest, the lei- ters written on the "juvenile de linquent" problem, and now would ; like lo express my opinion on the age-old problem. t I disagree with Mr. Morgan in this respect that we should not ! print Ihe names to guard against i these juveniles but there should be something done to help them. I liked the solution by the lady jwith the praise for the work the ! voting people did in ine lei-cm; j polio drive. You know, in a lot of i instances, the trouble begins with j the older people rather than the ' young ones. I i Let me sight an instance. Not i long ago a prominent citizen was i I given a ticket for being under the1 i influence of liauor on a public road ! but, due to the technicality of the law, he was dismissed, since it j was at the side of the road, j Now this fellow got loose scot ! free even though he destroyed pro i Dertv and disturbed Ihe peace and quiet of Ihe early mortjing hours with his loud yells and the horn of his car. His name wasn't even put in the paper. Now then, the young people see such going ons what are Ihey to think when they get a ticket for something of a much lesser offense and have to pay a fine, etc? That to me, is where a lot of vour delinauencv begins, when the I olders set such a poor example for i the young people. Now if they couldn't put his name in the paper, I why should Ihey put in the names I of juveniles? And why is it that I they put in part of the juveniles and leave out Ihe rest? That is an I other part that doesn't seem fair i to Ihem either. Also, what about these mother s and father's that you find in the taverns, who haven't the slightest idea where their children are? I think when you solve Ihe problem of grown-up delinquency, you will solve a lot of your juvenile prob lems. Alarjorie King Myrtle Creek, Ore. scious robbery is reduced to the absolute minimum.
