A W onderful Transform ation
For a good many years musical people and
club workers have been advocating the observance
of National Music Week—a week set apart and
devoted to the best and most in music. It seems that
the radio is making ever}7 week and month a time
of music, transforming the lonely hours into harm
ony and the isolated spots into humming, throbbing
activity.
,* •
And what the radio is doing to fill the silent
moments with melody—not for one proclaimed Week
but throughout the whole year (or until the bat
tery runs down), suggests that the time may come
when all such ‘‘weeks” may become yearsr Take
Thrift*Week, Forestry Week, “ Be Good” Week,
‘‘Pay Your B ills” Week- and all of the other dis
pensations conceived in the minds of forward-look
ers and fostered and popularized upon a waiting
and respective world by press, club and pulpit:
what might transform every one of them that are
good into year-round activities? Or better still,
what can make them a real, part of ourselves, a
second nature, 'so- that their observance • becomes a
matter of course instead of a matter of form?
That time should be welcomed by all thinking
people. And such a time may come. If, with all of
our institutions, the world is not getting better
what hope is there left? We owe to science and
jnvention a debt of gratitude for comforts and
conveniences. and other material benefits that make
life sweeter. But they are nothing without the moral
consciousness behind them to adapt them to the
moral and' cultural purposes of life.

ed to Marshal Chiang Kai Shek by the representa
tives of the United States, Great Britain, JApah,
Italy and Franoe, The note included three demands:
first, punishment of those guilty o f the Nanking
outrage; secohd, a Written apology from Chiang
with assurances of future protection of foreigners;
third- complete reparations.
Tho fitting and necessary under the circum
stances, the note was no less than an ultimatum.
In diplomacy, however, words and phrases have
shades of meaning not generally recognized by the
lay public. It is reasonable to suppose that this
Chinese commander w iilm ake all possible effort to
comply with the requests. But considering the lack
of stability in China, the apparent powerlessness of
even the leaders, the opposite is not impossible. The
situation Will be saved, if at all, by the fact that
five of the greatest world powers joined in the note.
If Chiang does not comply there may be further
trouble. But an ultimatum by any other name is
just as portentous, and Chiang knows what he will
face if he fails to give satisfaction.
H om e Tow n A ffection
Home is said to be the sweetest place on earth.
But its sweetness depends on the sweetness of its
environment. The people who got up the songs
about the sweetness of home* probably lived in rural
locations where everything was naturally lovely
around them. But when they moved into toWns and
cities, then their home did not always look 90
sweet.
80 if we are going to make our homes sweet
today, we must have fine and attractive towns as a
setting for them. That means a little work for you,
Mr. and Mrs. Citizen! It means that you must take
hold with your neighbors in community work, to
improve 'unattractive developments, promote neat
ness and order, and add attractions.
