Congressmen have been deluged with mail since the neutrality revision argument developed in congress with almost all letters, cards and telegrams expressing opposition to lifting the arms embargo. In all national public opinion polls—which have been accepted as authoritative and dependable on other questions—the people's sentiment has been shown heavily in favor of President Roosevelt’s proposed neutrality law changes. The opinion canvasses are iu violent contradiction to congressional mail, indicating that there might be a bund member in the woodpile somewhere. Suspicion has been aroused in many quarters that the shower of protest at revision which has flooded Washington has been inspired by the cunning of pres sure groups including Father Coughlin, the German- artillery units will be broadened American bund, communist organizations and other What Other Editors to include some of the modem ramifications of gunnery, thereby isms, some of which are suspected of receiving their rendering coast artillery organisa Are Saying! orders direct from Berlin and Moscow. tions available for a greater var iety of operations than mere coast In evaluating the country’s true sentiments, about THE GU YRD HAS A FUTURE defense tactics. all people far removed from Washington can do is to Local young men between the This would raise the coast ar ages of 18 and 32 who would be tillery branch of the service some look about them and see what folks they know are included in the first draft classi what above other brunches from thinking.

Modern motoring being what it is, when a driver has traveled 125,000 miles without so much as having scratched a fender, that is real news. One James McLaughlin, a CCC truck driver in the Medford district, has made such an accomplishment, which is the more remarkable when it is remembered that he was driving equipment not his own and was traveling continuously on busy highways, in city traf fic and on mountain roads. Says McLoughlin, in commenting on his record, “Know your vehicle is in good condition. Keep your eyes open. Don’t take ANY chances. And try to keep out of the mistakes someone else may make.” The Civilian Conservation corps enrollee’s advice certainly is timely and to the point. All motorists would do well to think on these points and profit from them. Rare indeed is the driver who has gone for even a year without at least leaving markings on his car, even when he must foot the bill himself. A CCC boy shows us the way—if we are smart enough to follow! ft ft ft ftftl HOW LONG Wll.l. THE W lit BE?
