BABSON'S Authentic Statement Copyright 1945 ? Publishers Financial Bureau, Inc. WE NEED MORE MECHANICS Babson Discusses The Learning Of 1V*4ts Babson Park, Mass., August 3? Three reports happened to reach i my desk within a few days of each other. The first telis of the great Scientific Congress recently held in Russia. Representatives of the United States returned to tell us that the Soviets aim to give the youth of Russia vast educational 1 opportunities in science. The second Dr. Vannevar Bush's aspiring analysis laid before 'esident Truman and entitled: Science, The Endless Frontier", loposal: To develop scientific ?'ent in American youth. The bird report atop my desk is a let er from a highschool teacher in a small town of the Mid-West; but "ist let me say just a word of comment on the recommendations 01 Dr. Bush. NATIONS of edisons homas Edison himself in per once stated to me in substance : b ' "'J e ra11 me a great inventor ? 1 tel1 you, Babson, there is no hav!.^ J*lly 11411011 cannot thousands of Edisons.

I hear all folks, industrial and business employes) and I see how each would benefit by better un derstanding of the other. To me it seems that world unity as well as community welfare, will best be promoted by home unity through better understanding of our nearest neighbors." This neighborly message has real significance today because it speaks for the people who must put any American prog-ram for either full employment or world peace into practical action. No chief executive on earth, whether Marshal Stalin or President Tru man, or any other honored leader, can lead without followers. In the end it will be the citizens ? particularly the citizens now in schools ? who will be the chief executives of any program. This applies to education in every form and in every community. UNDERSTANDING COMES FIRST This correspondent from the heart of our country has begun in the right way. Our key groups of people (the farm group, the fac tory group, and the sales group) together must face the common fact that the real goal of all is not selfish "pressure", ? but national p i -ogress ! I do not go so far as to suggest that every booster of a "bloc" is a blockhead. Some ' pressure-ists no doubt are in spired by hone -it zeal for national w al. I merely forcast that if the American way i: to prove its super iority in the years to come, we have not time to squaunder in in tramural feuding. Cooperation and coalition rest solidly only upon mutual acquain tance. Only understanding of the ether fellow helps you to under stand yourself. If our teachers all over ? in small town, big city and in-between ? will promote this basic education, this inter-group understanding, they are teachers indeed. Regardless of where in the school system they serve, they will possess opportunities that well may be envied by any university Fh. D. professor in the land! The best insurance for every individual and for the nation as a whole is that every one learn some trade. P. S. Although I personally greatly regret the defeat of Mr. Churchill .1 believe it will shorten the Japanese conflict. Now, England will join Russia in urging us not to invade the Japanese Homeland if the Emperor will give up his ill-gotten territories, which terms I believe the Japanese will accept. Hence. I repeat my fore cast of a few weeks ago, namely, that the Pacific War will be over some time this year, ? perhaps within thirty days. ROGER W. BABSON. RESIGNS AS PASTOR R.

Mallonee Helps Build Bridge Over Blue Danube The first American-built bridge to span the waters of tire famous blue Danube river was built by C Company of the 256 th engineers on the 25th of April 1945 at the town of Lauingen, Germany. The company of engineers ar rived at the site under cover of darkness on the night of the 24th. Only a small bridgehead had been established on the enemy frank of the river by cavalry and tanks. Under the direction of Capt. Joseph J. Pessa and his able assistants on the job First Lts. Murray A. Powell and Robert A. Ruesing, the company, working continuously, completed the 210 foot triple single Bailey at approximately 3 o'clock in the after of the 25th. So in tent were they on getting the job done that even the cooks pitched in to lend a helping hand during the final minutes. Sgt. John A. Mallonee, who had been working on an intermediate abutment, spied a dead jerry along the opposite river bank. The kraut was minus a head, but Sgt. Mallonee thought he still might be dangerous so he relieved him of a P-38 which had been hanging threateningly at his side. Pieces of dead jerries were lying all over the place. Some of them had been a bit slow in getting away when their own engineers blew the other side of the bridge. Things rolled alonj; smoothly until the river was reached. With a lot of jockeying, pushing, and jacking, the right combination was attained and over it went ac companied by a sigh of relief from the entire assemblage. Sgt. Mallonee is a nephew of Miss Lyda Mallonee of Murphy. Demonstration Clubs Holding Annual Picnics Miss Mary Cornwell, home demonstration agent, has announc ed the club schedule for August.

Judge Rousseau Presides Over Superior Court Next Week More Cows To Be Brought In For Local Farmers Fanners of Cherokee, Clay and Graham counties purchased 27 of the 31 head of milk cows sold at Andrews public auction Saturday.
