Fortunately, the Miner office is located directly across the street from Ashland's newest building ac tivity—the New Lithia theater which is last taking form. Although heretofore a noise heard but briefly and seldom, there is something pleasant about the day- after-day sound of hammers pounding on raw lumber. Tap-tap-tap they go, eight hours a day. supplemented by the clinking of brick being set in place and the ring of trowels as they strike against brick being shaped. Now. after all these leaner years here, there’s a noise as is a noise. We're for more of it, and plenty of it.

Whatever else may be said about them, the German people are a persistent, courageous lot. With ashes of the zeppelin Hindenburg scarcely cool, they are rushing to completion a sister ship that will supplant its tragically-fated predecessor. W’e may hear a lot of complaint about the Nazi government, and chafe at Hitler’s disregard for treat ies (that were forced onto Germany when she was a shambles) and we mav object to their so-called abuse of Jews, but just the same that country has been stag ing a comeback that must be admired and respected. Now, with the United States performing a humani tarian service by permitting Germany to float her next lighter-than-air craft with our monopolized, fire proof helium, the newer dirigible may go on startling the world with transoceanic feats of service without the dangers attendant with former hydrogen-inflated ships. The United States, following a series of horrible disasters with lighter-than-air craft, abandoned their use as a military experiment. The Nazis, however, have been the world’s only successful zeppelin builders, and that success was clouded by the Hindenburg’s end. ■— In the Hour Of Need city. Business and advertising is what we are after and here is one good way of getting it—but do you think Ward Croft can keep his band at full strength and make a favorable showing if there is no incentive for the musicians to stay in town Sundayp instead of going fishing, picnicking and boating as they naturally want to do on their one day off each week.
