WORLD DAY OF PRAYER
Charles V. 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.

Federal Judge !
Rules Windfalls
Were Improper
ALKN AND RIA, Va. Fed
eral Judge Albert V. Bryan ruled
Saturday that alleged "windfall"
profits from government-hacked

for the government to proceed
with legal steps to recover some
2'i million dollars il contends u.i

The judge ordered dismissal of
a suit by the project developers

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.

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

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
