There was much timely advice and infor mation' in the article, showing that the "need for intelligent conservalion of our national resources stark and real." It is said to inescap able if we are to prevent the ultimate eco nomic decline of the United States. Wildlife merely leads the parade, accord ing to the Federation president. Two world wars in which we oiled, munitioned, and fed half the world, have taken a heavy toll of our irons, oils, forests and soils already badlv wasted in a reckless era bv a nation of eco nomic spendthrifts. ,Any. nation can be rich only as long as its supply of resources is greater than the needs of its people. After that no nation is self supporting. As Mr. Darling points out, "It is high time we snapped out of our idea that the people of this country can go on forever using up soils, forests, waters, minerals and wild life, without evenutally coming to the bottom of the barrel." .They held final rites the other day for the pedestrian- who held that motorists are trie ones who should dodge traffic. . .Adults are always children at heart.

J'ivc sccr,.ia. around ST.iiiki. vi n. 1 ILlllllm, 'I Two More Awards So often adults forget their responsibility in the encouragement and stimulation of. ideals in the generation coming on. We con gratulate the Sonoma Masonic Lodge and the Eastern Star for their plans to offer citizen ship awards in the Bethel school. In the Waynesville Township schools we, feel sure the awards offered have been goals ! to which our young people have striven and ihey have helped them work toward better practice of citizenship. In the majority of eiises the pattern of a life begins to show in ; i .n lv youth, and as "the twig is bent so grows ' 'he ti ee." Sometimes one hears arguments against : ueli awards, in that all cannot receive them I ami thai they create a bad feeling. To us: tins is one of the finest lessons taught in the ; awarding of such recognition. Life is a j ..I .. .... ! rene:; oi competitions, uuicis uuoui us in spire us to better things. In teaching that m our struggle to attain higher things and unless we give our best, others will outstrip us in the race of life is a lesson as old as life itself that all must learn. We must learn it without bitterness and often the loss of an award is stimulating as the winning, be cause it can serve as a stepping stone success of the goal. It is funny, llmiisb how much attention a prospective bride and brideurooni set at the court house. Dozens of people can come and so in the offices all day lone, and no one gives them any mind, but let a couple come into the office of Register of Deeds to buy j marriage license and it just gets around. Then if they ask for the services of a Justice of the Peace, the news takes wings, and they come run ning down from the third floor and by the time the arrange ments have been made by the couple "with the J.

V i Secretary Marshall to i Largest Camp The announcement that the largest camp ever held at the Daniel Boone Council camp on Pigeon will be conducted this year is receiver! as good news in this section. Dur ing the war years we noticed that our Scout ing activities seemed to drop, and it is with deep interest that we note renewed interest. We have an idea that during the war years the adult leaders were busy about other things and perhaps did not have time to give the cause as many hours as formerly. The fact that the largest camp is to be expected this year shows that things are picking up in Scouting and that we are building back one of our finest assets. On The Spot It will be interesting to watch President Truman's populat ily in the political campaign that even now is unofficially underway, for the 1948 elections are deeply involved in the current events. President Truman is going to get the blame if world affairs turn out well and he will be blamed if they, are the reverse. Such is the position tn which he will-find himself as he helps shape world policies. Marshall Hopes Moscow May Windup in Six Weeks Special to Central Press WASHINGTON Do not look for prolonged meeting of the Big Four foreign ministers' conference In Moscow. Sscretary of State George C. Marshall plans that it will last no more than six weeks, and then only If there seems to be some chance of getting together on fundamental principals something that outsiders doubt. Despite the seeming softening of Russia on some subjects, such 12., nn,H;!?-S!f ,!'el? ,demand3 'or a aecurity trusteeship over the Pacific islands won by American blood, it ts doubted that there will be any great concessions from Moscow. This seems to be particularly the case on the questions of Germany's future boundaries with Poland and on Germany's future. Marshall probably will make some concessions but will not yield on fundamental principals. It is now hoped that within six weeks the Big Four at least will agree on these end then the deputies j will go to work drafting the formal peace treaty. mow long mis will take is purely a matter of guesswork. Thereafter, it is planned to hold a new meet ing with the outside powers having a further hearing. This may take months and only after ward will the Big Four meet again, probably in fans, tendon or Washington. Only then, it is believed, will the major powers begin to discuss the Japanese treaty, which most observers believe should have been put ahead of the German treaty since Japan has a going govern ment Germany none. THE INCOME TAX LAW is the great leveler. It respects neither the big nor the little not even the big brass. All this Gen. Dwight Elsenhower recently found out. The Army chief of staff went up to Lafayette college in Penn sylvania to make a speech and get a degree. After receiving his laurels and delivering his message, the president of the college told the five-star general that Lafayette had a little custom. He said "We always give a WOO check as an honorarium to our speaker. Here is your check, general" "Ike," in his usual bashful manner, explained that he couldn't . accept it. He said he came to the college as head of the Army, waa speaking for the Army, was a servant of the people and could not accept such gifts. "But it is our custom-our regulation," the bewildered college prexy Insisted. The general was just as insistent It appeared an impasse had come about Then "Ike" had an idea. He asked- "Don't you have college funds, for this or that where the money could be used to good purpose?" The answer was yes. Lafayette did. Whereupon Eisenhower endorsed the check and turned it over to the fund. Came the day when the Income tax had to be made out For some reason, the general used the "short long" forrd. In so doing he paid a tax to Uncle Sam on the 300 he held in his possession just long enough to sign Ms name. THERE IS A COMPACT-AND-LTPSTICK BRIGADE among Capitol Hill lobbyists.
