Reports show that Russia is not satisfied with Britain's proposition of alliance, but wants Britain and France to agree to aid Russia on a reciprocity basis. There seems to be nothing wrong in this position. oOo Response to call for cooperation in the Clean-up Cam paign was generously made by both Louisburg and County citizens, and as a result our town and county lias taken on a more attractive and pleasing appearance. oOo England is now proposing, according to reports, to Poland to make a peaceable solution of the Danzig' ques tion with Germany, which means that Hitler will get Danzig and a fifteen mile stretch of territory across Po land. With this policy continuing it won't be long be fore Hitler and Mussolini will have charge of the whole of Europe, and as said by Hitler in his famous speech, without bloodshed. This may be a good policy, but it doesn't look that way at a distance. oOo The highway safety meeting held in Raleigh the past week evidently will result in some good. It is hoped so, anyway, as there is plenty room. The'most sensible sug gestions were made by Judge Rives, of Greensboro, which were as follows: That the Courts and officers 1. Give a fair deal to all defendants. 2. Give a careful consideration of the facts in the case. 3. Have a sound knowledge of the law. 4. Give judgments of the head, not of the heart. 5. Follow a permanent policy of imposing severe pen alties, not such a policy periodically and spasmodically. Reorganization Plans Congress Gels New Revision Pro posal ? Transfer of 14 Bureaus Mapped By Roosevelt Washington. ? President Roose velt proposed his second govern ment reorganization plan to Con gress Tuesday involving 14 inter departmental bureau transfers and consolidations estimated to save $1,250,000 a year.

"In view of the fact that it is now May ninth," he said, "and that any reorganization plan must lie before the Congress for 60 cal endar days, and because the reor ganizations of an intra-depart mental character require a great . deal of research and careful pain staking detailed work, I dp not propose to send any further gen eral reorganization plans to the Congress at this session."

Nazo officials hailed a new German-Italian mili tary pact as "a mighty bulwark of steel guarding European peace" today and took the occasion par ticularly to direct Poland's atten tion to its implications. Whether or not a new ideologi cal reshuffling is bringing Ger many closer to Soviet Russia the reaction to the agreement Indica ted plainly It was aimed not at trfe old nazi bugaboo of communism > but at what nazis call the "encir clement powers," especially Great I Britain and France. Thea>act, tbe results of talka \>y Italian and German foreign milli ters was described by the news service Deutsche Dfenst, aa a "crushing blow against the ag gressive encirclement policy which, , England and France with the co operation of certain other states (Poland, Rumania, Greece) have' long pursued to powers of the axis (German and Italy)." This service said that the speech last Friday of the Polish Foreign Minister Colonel Joseph Beck of fered German and Italy "no occas ion for revising their conception of the character of that policy which London and Paris seek to establish as something ominously defensive." Meanwhile, in Milan, Italy, hope for German-Polish reconciliation grew In Italian political circles as fascists pondered the Implications oflhelr new military and political alliance with Germany. Informed fascists who expressed this hope reasoned that Premier Mussolini would not have agreed to such an alliance If he had ex pected it to Involve him In an eastern European conflict almost as soon as it was signed. ?"OR FIRST CUM PRINTING P HON li SSI H LOUISBURG COLLEGE ALUMNI BANQUET The Alumni Banquet held an nually during tbe Commencement 1 i of Louisburg College will be held in the dining balls of tbe College on Saturday evening.

LOUISBURG BAPTIST CHURCH At the evening worship hour the Baptist Student Council was installed. A very impressive ser-" vice, "Passing the Torch" was us ed. Colton Allen, B.S.U. President of this year, charged the new i council with its privileges and responsibilities. Ada Lillian Blan chard accepted the charge in the 1 absence of the new prseldent, William Spence. Sylvia Burns, Music Director sang "Pass on the Torch." Dr. A. Paul Bagby lead in the Dedication prayer. His ser mon on "The Final Purpose of Ed ucation" held unlimited resources for the student's thought. He us ed as his text, "For thair sake# I sanctify myself." This might be interpreted for the student as well as for others: for their sakes I educate myself, master self, limit self and offer self. In limiting self It is not so muoh breadth but depth that we need, not freedom but confinement to a definite pur pose. Life to count for tht most must be held in a definite channel. In offering self we slander God when we offer him anything but the best. Morning worship at 11 A. M., Rev. A1 Martin, of Wake Forest, will supply in the absence of the pastor. Evening worship at 7:30 P. M. Clarence Bass, son of Dr. and Mrs. W. R. Bass of our church, will preach at the evening hour. His subject will be "The Holiness of Jesus." Sunday School at 9:45 A. M. Baptist Training Union at 6:30 P. M. LOUISBURG METHODIST CHURCH Mother's Day will- be celebrated Sunday morning with an appro priate service. The public is as sured that there will not be an overemphasis on the sentimental side and no one should stay away with the idea that the hour will be too emotional for those who have lost their mothers. The sermon topic will be, "'^lother's Request." The usual Sunday services will be held with Rev. J. G. Phillips giving the sermon at both morn ing and evening services. RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION!
