Clean— Up Week For more than two years, the Red network the world over has been looking forward with great anticipation to the event of the 100th Anniversary of the birth of their great leader, Lenin. There will be mammoth celebrations in every Communist occupied country. Now comes, in the United States, a highly publicized, well financed “Earth Day” to "combat pollution”. Is it a concidence, and how many of us realize, that on April 22 one of the most evil of men in human history was born? We wonder why April 22nd was chosen? Why not Thomas Jefferson’s birth day, April 13, or some other day wouldn’t have been more There is enough evidence by the activities of appropriate, revolutionists, anarchists, and other cute our activists, characters to be suspicious that maybe we are being taken. We hope not. Anyway, “Clean-up Week” is an important week and we appreciate the efforts of our young people, students, scouts, city crews, and all who are making the big effort to call our attention again to the problems of pollution. It is a genuine, real problem, and it’s about time that everyone of all ages not only recognizes the problem, but does something about it. Let’s get back to Lenin. Just in case we are being duped into celebrating this great man’s birth date, here are a few things to remember: THAT, since the Bolshevik seizure of power in Russia in 1917, Communism has been directly responsible for the exter mination of at least 85 million people throughcivil war, manmade famine, blood purges, genocidal deportations and executions, in torture chambers and in history’s largest concentration camps; THAT Communism has systematically destroyed moral and spiritual values; has persecuted all religions and placed myriad minds in the chains of though control; THAT Communism set the pattern for Fascism, Nazism and other varieties of totalitarianism, and that its relentless drive for world domination has kept the world in a state of turmoil; THAT since 1917 not one of the nations conquered by force or seized by subterfuge has been permitted a free election, nor has any freepeopleever votedtoadoptCommunism in preference to democracy; THAT from its start until now, all Communist dictatorships have preached "liberation” while practicing unlimitedoppression to consolidate their rule based on terror. We owe a lot to the memory of Lenin, and the tragic part of it all is that many unsuspecting people on our campuses, and elsewhere, aren’t told about his accomplishments. Instead they hear constantly about the shortcomings of this, the greatest nation in the world. Let’s each of us helpclean up this nation, but let’s also realize that the future of this nation rests on the continued efforts of those of us who love and respect it, and not on the efforts of those who are out to destroy it. Ontario schools observed “Patriotism Day” on Wednesday. It’s a celebration that should be observed by every school system in the nation. kN Fa St. Bridget's News St. Bridget’s CatholicChurch is conducting a series of In quirers’ classes every Monday evening at 8:00 p.m. in the Catholic Rectory.

Considerable indignation is being expressed by Nyssa citi zens over the census report as submintted by the census enumerator. According to the returns Nyssa has a population of 803, a gain of 240 since the 1920 census. Upon receipt of these figures a short canvas was made by interestedcitizens and 35 residents of the town were unearthed, who had not been enumerated. A number of these names were well known busi nessmen on Main Street. How they were missed is difficult to figure out. A citizens’ meeting was held and it was decided to send a telegram to B. S. Crabill, supervisor of census, re questing a supplementary count. ♦ ♦ * Free bathing next Sunday at Snivley Hot Springs.

OF ENGLISH NYSSA SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL What a shame it was for painting that Leonardo da Vinci was so monumentally talented in so many directions! If he had not been so interested in problems of flood control and flying there might have been a large body of work in oil left behind. As it is, you can count the paintings of Leonardo all too quickly. The work above all others that his name stands for today is the Mona Lisa Gioconda, the portrait of a young women who mysteriously seems tc smile and not to smile as we ............... look at her. The - great nineteenth century art critic, Walter Pater is responsible for much of the romantic reputation the picture retains to this day, but it is a formidable work of art without any legends at all. Leonardo was the first to paint the atmosphere, the air in which a subject sits and which occupies the space between the eye and the thing seen. This effect of almost invisible smoke, “sfumato”, enhances his technique of “chiaroscuro”, or modeling the subject by its lights and shadows as well as by its bones and muscles. The two techniques explain much of the fascination of the Mona Lisa. So does his brilliant stroke of leaving the corners of the eyes and mouth not quite definite, so that we seem to see a somewhat new person from every point of view, just as we do in life. Likewise, the romantic landscape, itself a small marvel of evocative mystery, makes it contribution. But finally, as in all supreme works of art, we are helpless to explain, we can only acknowledge the genius of the master. Equally famous as the above named painting is a marvelous building that we all know from grade school geography books — the Taj Mahal. But are you aware of the reason it was built? The Mogul emperor of India, Shah Jahan, was deeply in love with his wife, Arjumand Banu Begum, called Mumtaz-i-Mahal, or “chosen one of the palace.” She died in 1631, after almost twenty years of inseparable companionship in marriage and while giving birth to their fourteenth child. The emperor, while she was alive, had built for her the fabulous pleasure gardens of Shalimar. In her death he resolved to be no less munificent. From all over India and Central Asia he called a council of architects, and from that same vast area he recruited artists and crafts men to build a tomb of surpassing beauty named the Taj Mahal, a diminutive of the Begum's nickname. From the same area and beyond it came the varied materials and the crowds of workmen to erect the structure. More than two hundred thousand workmen labored every day for twenty-three years to complete the elaborate structure of the mausoleum itself, two mosques, four minarets, pools and garden, gateways and auxiliary buildings such as stables and guard houses. The perfect proportions, the clarity of the blueveined Rajasthan marble and the exquisite mastery of the workmanship in masonry, calligraphy, and inlay make the great building of the mausoeum seem to float between heaven and earth, a memorial to love without parallel in the East or or the West.
