I 'ndur estimated
Mayris Chaney, a beautiful dancer, has just
been named head of children's activities in the
Physical Fitness Division of the Office of Ci
vilian Defense at a salary of $4,600 a year.
It is disgustingly apparent that the common
morale even among children has been under
estimated, and when the nation has to pay $4,
600 a year for the services of a dancer it would
appear that favoritism in Washington has reach
ed a climax The employment of Miss Chaney
is hard to stomach, and when one reviews the
activities in the Office of Civilian Defense he
can't help but want to throw up both ljjyi.ds
in utter disgust. The work of the OCD is a re
flection on the common people of this country,
including the little children. We have been un
derestimated.
Surely, Hitler and X?Jo anc' possibly Benito
Mussolini, too, laughed up their sleeves when
they learned that our leaders thought it neces
sary to employ a $4,600 dancer to resurrect our
morale. We challenge such action. We declare
that the morale among the common people, yes,
among the common working man, is far bet
ter than it is in official Washington, in indus
try and in the places of jdgh finance. To em
ploy Miss Chaney and the thousands of other
human leeches is to belittle the common people
of this nation Such action taken when the gov
and penny is hard to explain.
If Miss Chaney has entered upon her new
work we would suggest that she resign immed
iately, carrying with her a majority of those
who have all but wrecked civilion morale in
this country.
Though a good motive cannot sanctify a bad
action, a bad motive will always vitiate a good
action William Jav
K'e Don't Seem To Care
Accidents in the United States last year claim
ed 101,500 lives, maimed over nine million peo
ple and cost three and three-quarter billion dol
ianc???? ??
Announcing the staggering figures, the Na
tional Safety Council offered the following il
lustrations in comparison with the war effort:
Fatalities in the 20-45 years selective service
age bracket totaled 26,000, equal to the destruc
tion of two army divisions.
Approximately 18,000 workers died in occu
pational accidents and another 29,000 were kill
ed in off-the-job accidents?the loss of man
power labor sufficient to build 20 battleships,
200 destroyers and 7,000 heavy bombers.
Traffic accident deaths alone were greater
in each of nine months of 1941 than total cas
ualties in the Pearl Harbor attack.
The death toll was the third largest on rec
ord and 5 per cent above the 96,885 deaths in
"1940. There were 110.052 accident deaths in
1926 and 105,205 in 1927.
Here, within our gates, is an enemy greater
than Hit lei?Hirohito and Mussolini and all
their men.
Here is the greatest saboteur of the nation's
men and wealth. We don't seem to care.
Chairman Martin Diet A Flop
Seeking large appropriations. Chairman Mar
tin Dies of the Dies Commitete, has interrupt
ed the war program in this country and blocked
the Federal Bureau of Investigation in its work.
The Texas man is a flop, and should be kicked
out of Washington along with his juicy expense
account.
It is disturbing to think that a sane body of
men would pick out an incompetent man, give
him hundreds of thousands of dollars and tell
him to go out and create hysteria among the
people. He has done little more than just that.
When the Federal Bureau of Investigation pick
ed up a lead and tried to break up subversive
groups, Dies would horn in and create a sensa
tion for the newspapers to exploit. It is the opin
ion of many that he has done more for the en
emy than any other one or group of foreign
agents.
It I'urely Slink*
When common working men were asking
higher wages, the country wagged its tongue
and tojd about the little $21 a month the sol
dier received in comparison. Just recently Don
ald Nelson, War Productions Board chief, said
that industrialists could not be expected to ac
cept jobs at the salaries offered by the govern
ment. In other words, such men as Mr. Knud
sen can't afford to work for a $10,000 a year gov
ernment salary, so he is placed on the books as
' a dollar-a-year man and continues to receive his
pay from his company. One report declares that
the salaries of some of the dollar-a-year men
have been increased by their respective com
panies even though they were working for the
government.
Chairman Edwin C Johnson, commenting on
the stinking situation surrounding the big sal
aried boys said, "If you can't draft dollar-a
year men for $lO,000 a year, why should we
draft soldiers for $21 a month?"

The World Day
Of Prayer
By BERNARD T. HURLEY
Pastor, Methodist Church
The National Committee of Church
Women, representing the Council of
Women for Home Missions, the Com
mittee on Women's Work Foreign
Missions Conference, and the Nation
al Council pf Church Women, has
prepared a most timely and appro
priate subject this year's World Day
of Prayer. The theme this year is
"I Am The Way." In order to gain
a world viewpoint and the spiritual
experience of other races, the com
mittee chose a group of three women
to write the program who came from
Germany, France and China. One
can imagine what rich and courag
eous backgrounds of suffering and
faith were represented in a group
where the German pastor's wife had
been imprisoned in three concentra
tion camps, her husband in another,
the young French woman had had no
word from her family in France for
over a year; the skilled teacher in a
Biblical seminary discovering with
in.-p, the seven wonderful ways in
which Christ is indeed The Way: The
Way Men Have Lost. The Way Back
to God, The Way of Self-Surrender,
The Wav of Peace, The Way of Love,
The Way of Light, The Way of Pow
er.
With memorable Bible passages,
searching prayers, and the great
beauty of the Everlasting Mercy at
work in the world, we should find
ourselves on this Day of World Pray
er swept into The Way Back to God.
There is no doubt but that we sore
ly need these glorious certainties of
our faith which many Christians in
other countries have learned through
recent testings. These are momentous
days for our own beloved country
The forces in opposition to the Am
erican way of living?freedom to
I worship and serve God, and freedom
of speech, and the rights of individ
uals to live their lives as free men
have attacked us on sea and land
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth
and the life." We can find our need- I
ed strength in Him through prayer j
and self-surrender. i
The World Day of Prayer will be
held at the Methodist Church Fri
day, February 20th, beginning at
4:00 P. M. Sooner or later we may
find ourselves in dire need of great
er strength than man power can af
ford. Why not recognize the need
of that strength now? "More things
are wrought by prayer than this
world dreams of." Let us turn aside
from the secular to the place of pray
er for a little while and lift our souls
to God in prayer with repentance,
and seek his Way for us in these
dangerous days which have fallen
upon us. It is either Christ or chaos.

The Christian Advance Program
being launched during this year by

for its major thesis the focussing of
Church-minded people on the ap
palling situation in our nation. With
more than sixty million people un
churched; thirty-three millions of
them adults; seventeen million chil
dren; ten million youth, something
must be done to change this terri
ble loss. In introducing this matter
last Sunday to his congregation, Mr.
Goff spoke on the theme, "Where the
Church and the Home Meet," and he
proposes to extend this thought by
speaking at the morning hour on
"Where the Church and the Com
munity Meet." A cordial welcome
awaits all who come to worship with
