VACATION SEASON
OF BOOM VARIETY
More Than Fire Billion DoOare
Spent By Pknasure-Seeker
Thfc Tear
New York, 26?Americans will
spend more than five billion dol
lars on their 1934 locations, accord
ing to a nation-wide survey of the,
tourist industry completed by the
United Press tonight.
Expenditures possibly will come
within 20 per cent of the record,
high years of 1928-29. I
Tourist agencies make no effort
to account for the "travel boom." |
The important fact to them Is that
it is here. Some sources believe;
it may indicate a return towards
"a feeling of prosperity" and re
sumed confidence in the financial,
future of the nation; others that
the panicky days of "depression
saving" have passed and that peo
ple who have money simply have
started spending it again and still j
others that the boom may be som,e- j
thing of a flash in the pan, re
presenting a final splur by num
bers of people who have lost con
-fidence in investments and money
i and feel they-may as well spend
what they have "so that I will at
least know that X got something for
my dollars."
Indicative of this desire for a
vacation is the situation In New
England, the eastehners' s ummer
Spa. Present statistics Indicate a
season there of aound $450,000.0000]
in expenditures, about $100,000,000
greater than in 1933 and compared
with an average expenditure of ap- "
proximately $500,000,000 in the hal
cyon days. the other side of 1928.
So heavy is the trade?what with

tional yacht race off Newport?

campaign to extend the season

BACK TO SCHOOL
K]EXT month, throughout the length and breadth of this vait
' country, a great army of American boys and girls will go troop
ing back to the poblic schools. To the children, it is an exciting
adventure. To parents, it means that their children are laying the
foundation for useful lives. To the nation, it means the training of
the youth who will tomorrow guide the destiny of America.
One hundred and fifty millions of dollars, or more than 45 per
cent of total railway taxes, are, poured annually into the school
budgets of the country ? taxes that pay for the schooling of more
than 1,600,000 children I
Within a recent year, more than four million dollars, or 50
percent of the total taxes of the Norfolk and Western Railway, were
applied to the support of your public schools ? taxes that paid for
the schooling of more than 45,000 boys and girls?your children.
Norfolk and Western taxes are always paid promptly and in
sure the operation of schools in mafiylbcalities. If these essential
railway taxes should disappear, from what source would revenue be
derived to take their place? From you'end your neighbors and your
business or profession.'
In spite of these things, your representatives in county, tnunicipal,
state and federal governments, impose upon the railroads restrictive
and destructive regulation, and continue to permit unfair, inequitable
and destructive competition with unrestricted and unregulated trans
portation agencies which.receive tremendous subsidies out of the
public treasury.
What are you doing to correct this unjust situation? What are
you doing to preserve the railroads' ability to pay the essential taxes
which are helping to educate your children ? Isn't it obvious that you
should do something about it ? to safeguard your own, and your chil
dren's, future ?

MIC AH CHAHMFIONS THE

Leson for September 2nd. Mlcah
6 and 7.
Golden Text: Micah 6: S.
Our Golden Text was, it Is said,
the favorite Bible verse of Presi
dent Washington. It was also!
close to the heart of Theodore
Roosevelt. Rather does it concern!
Itself with the root activities bf!
the human pilgrimage. No doubt
we need formalism. And certainly!
we must have enthusiasm And
President Eliot, of Harvard, made
much of it.
Religion, insists Mlcah, is not
primarily ritual. Neither is it, at1
bottom, ecstasy. But of much morej
importance are the justice, mercy,'
and humility of every day living, j
The need for Justice today is ob-j
.vlous. Too long -has man given full
rein to his predatory impulses. Our!
present competitive profit system
places a premium upon the exploi-'
tat ion of one group by another, j
Moreover it is subversive of human |
values through its philosophy of <
strife leading inevitably to inter
national war and industrial conflict
the fruits of which are insecurity
unemployment, and untold misery
What is needed- is a planned social
economy.thorougNy Christian in its
implications. Charity is no longer
sufficient. The times call loudly for
genuine justice.
But mercy is as important as
justice. The Church has always
given a royal status to the virtue
of kindness. .
Finally, the1 sovereign grace of
humility must be stressed. A dis
couraging defect of human nature
is its cocksureness, a product of the
deadly sin of pride. Other fruits
are fussiness, Jealously, snobbish
ness. All of these common vices
can be cured by a rigorous self
examination leading to a realistic
appreciation of our littleness.
Most of all do we need humility
in our religion. This is made clear
by Jesus' striking parable of the
Pharisee and the tax-gatherer. "For
every one who uplifts himself will
be humbled but he who humbles
himself will be uplifted."

POWER TO LIVE
We are well supplied with sug
gestlons, advice, and requirements.
AH about us we find standards set
for our conduct. There are stand
ards of truthfulness, honesty, and
morality, for example. While some
standards are not perfect others
ar^T though -some are not set by
rightful authority others are.
Among our acqualntences and in
cur reading there are to be found
those who have embodied these
standards to a high degree in their
lives. It may be that we have es
pecially impressed by some one
characteristic In some given Bfe.
But the well rounded life perfect
in all respect Is given us In Jesus
of-Nazarerhc'? -
Having come in contact with
these noble lives- who have crossed
our uay either In books or In life
me are Inspired to live on a higher
plance than on which we find
ourselves.
But we are face to face with the
fact that we have not lived up to
the standards we have set. On
New-year's day or at other times
we have made new resolutions only
to break them in a few days. Then
shall we live up and declare it
Impossible or is there a strength
not human on which we can rely?
Herein Jesus Christ differs from
all other teachers. He not only
teaches and Inspires to, a better
life, but he also gives the necessary
pow^r to live according to his
teachings. He said to his disciples.
"Ye shall receive power after that
the Holly Ohost Is come upon you"
Those men were different after
that experience.
The Savior not only told the
lame man to get up and walk, he
gave him the abOlty to do so
When he stood by the grave of
Lazarus and called out. "Lazarus,
come forth" he gave that dead
man the ability to rise. If we do
not live above and apart from sin
we are responsible. What he com
mands he gives the ability to per
form.

ROOSEVELT PLAN
Council Bays Relief Measures Are
Human, But Ainu Sought
Are Divine
New York, Aug 26.?The Federal
Council of the Churches of Qhrist
of America today, In an official
statement declared the measures
proposed by the Roosevelt adminis
tration to help the forgotten man
were of human origin and therefore
fallible, but that the aims sought
were divine.
"The purpose sought are divine
if, as we steadfastly believe, the
heart of Jesus Christ is a revelation
cf the divine," the announcement
continued. -i
"He cared whether men were
cold or hungry or sick. He felt
the woes of those In bondage of
any sort and longed for their free
dom. Many goals sought by the
present leaders of American af
fairs are indisputably In harmony
with the purpose and spirit of
Jesus.
"Whether these goals will be at
tained will depend upon the wis
dom of the economic system Itself |
and certainly upon those In con-j
trol of our economic life."
American labor as well as Amer
ican capitalists were on trial, the
message continued. Labor must
answer "whether the under-priv- j
ileged and dispossessed, If ade-1
quately supported in their right to J
organize by government, industry,
and the public, can claim and win ,
their human rights and privileges
without the hatred and bitterness
ot class war."
Industry, the documen t stated,
was on trial because of its respon
sibility "for social welfare and re
construction."
The message was prepared for
delivery next Sunday, Labor Day,
by 110,000 pastors of the 25 deno
