They camo to Mcdford from Redding for the cxpross purpose of seeing tho lako, no matter how much snow they would havo to bur row or wado thru. However, they were fortunate In encountering llttlo trouhlo In reach ing the lake. Thoy wero able to drive their cars to within two miles of the lako on the Mcdford l(lo, and from there walked to tho rim. Thoro wore Homo drifts ten feet ilcop thru which thoy had to pass, but luckily the night befuro another party of tourists, thinking to bo tho first ones to get to sco tho lake, had shov eled a path thru them.

TPHIK world war into winch wo have entered to make A tlir -world safe for ileinocl'aev must, not he allowed to destroy any of the safeguards we have by slow, painful steps erected for the cause of democracy. Aside f I'oin the strain and stress of battle, danger lurks in every war. The unsleeping forces of greed and selfish ness are always on watch to regain lost ground. Much has been said and rightly so as to how this coun try can profit from the experience of those other great democracies Kngland and France. Our allies can teach lis much about warfare in the trenches and on the seas. They can also give us much guidance concerning matters at home. And one of the lessons the allies can teach us is that we must not throw our children into the furnace of war. There must be no wholesale suspension of restrictions of Tiic hours children are permitted to labor. There must be no iet-up ii child welfare work. There must be no pa ralysis of school systems. At the beginning of the war, in England and France, in the frantic endeavor to increase the industrial output nec essary lor carrying on the struct; !!, children were thrmim iiu.o i no lactones as it they were so much fuel fm n t'ivn The cry was that everyone, oven the children, must do their oi t. And then came the aftermath. Young girls and boys quickly showed the physical strain of long hours of con finement in the factories, whether doing day work or nioht work. Education was being neglected. Morals were be ing ai lectefl. England and France were fighting to make the liberties of the next generations secure and, while doing so, were denying those very generations the chance to grow up strong in body,, educated in mind and clean in svn'rit. Tho result was there had to be a speedy returnto restriction of i i i ( 1 11 ' , . Kiuur, iu ciiiorcemont, or senooi jaws and to all sate guards necessary for child life. 1 The danger England and France faced and speedily tooic steps to overcome, is Jaeimr us now. Aln.n.u- in highly industrialized states like New Jersey, Pennsylva nia, and New York there have been "defense-" proposals to suspend or repeal child labor laws which were put upon the statute books only after the bitterest fight with special interests. If not promptly checked, the move will spread. There is no excuse for enslaving the weak bodies of growing children. Jt would be nothing less than suicide for the United States to risk the flower of her manhood in the trenches of blood-soaked France, while at home we were subjecting our future men and women to a killinn- blirhf. rlinf' wm,U break down their bodies, blunt their minds and abate their morals.
