There'* \o Rubber Serious charges have been directed against the Standard Oil Company as a result of its close collaboration with Hitler in advancing the Germ"" " effort. The Standard Oil Com panv counters with a bitter denial But, right or wrong, some company or some group of companies must admit that this country is eat ing burnt rubber while Hitler moves one of the greatest mechanized armies on synthetic rubber the world has ever known Rumors, begging for investigation, are being heard around the doors of other companies, 50 or even 100 companies And guilty to a certain extent are many of the 136 million American individuals who have and still look upon this war as a phony one. IHelated Expression Granting that hundreds and possibly thous ands of well-meaning citizens participated in the deluge, facts now well established clearly indicate that most of tin letters pouring in on Congress and denouncing the common work er's right to be considered as a human being alorlg with profits were hardly more than the dictated expression of those who fought labor before the war and who have been all the time hostile to the New Deal and the administration. Out in Oklahoma, the principal of a large school said to have been acting at the direction of an influential board member, ordered his teachers to instruct then pupils to write to the congressmen in Washington and demand a crown of thorns be placed on the head of la bor. ? The right of the more than 1,000 little folks to write to the lawmakers in Washington is nut to lie denied but the episode nins elose to Hir tatorship when one man or a small group of men. order mass letter writing. Possibly many of the little folks were sincere in handling their dictated task, but it is quite possible that many of those youngsters had fathers or brothers working in factories and did not cherish such an assignment. In Washington their efforts were called to the attention of the world and to the complete satisfaction of Adolf Hitler and Com pany. ? Then there were those letters from others from all over the country. Too many of them are still numbered among the group who are clinging to the idea of business as usual. They can't or won't sacrifice a moment's pleasure for the war effort, and yet they write to their con gressmen demanding that the yoke be placed on labor's neck. There's a yoke waiting for ev ery neck, but it is unfair to place the yoke on the necks of any one group, be it management, labor or farmer, until that yoke bears down with equal pressure upon the necks of every one who would do his fair share in prosecuting the war. Xo Change ? Yet Standing on the street cornel in a busy Iit tle eastern North Carolina town on a recent Saturday night, a citizen after observing the incessant flow of traffic accompanied by "smart" horn tooting, declared that he could see very little or no change in our way of life since Pearl Harbor The true facts will support the obser vation. We have dilly-dallied in handling this or that task We are stlil sailing along in per fect ease thoroughly convinced in our own minds that what is happening in prostrate Greece, in the battle areas of Russia and on the high seas and in the air over a vast part of the world can't or won't happen here. There's a crude awakening just ahead for many of us Some will pull out of their slum ber when the casualty lists are revealed, but it seems that nothing less than life under Hit ter will stir us to action Hurray For Our Side All observers agree that the capital never experienced such a whirl before. Hattie Car negie. New York socialite and designer, said after a visit that "it has the atmosphere of old Paris " The capital's liquor consumption has kept pace with its social schedule. The district al coholic-beverage-control board disclosed that taxes were paid on 373,055 gallons of wines and spirits in December, the month war was de clared, compared with 303,065 in December, 1940 From The Mt. Vernon, Wash.. Dailv Her ald. Encouraging It may not be a deciding factor or it may not change the course of events, but the defense of Colombo on the island of Ceylon last week-end is encouraging in that for once the defenders had too much too soon instead of too little and too late. If only America could wake up without hav ing to experience overwhelming disaster, it would have too much, too soon in other places in readiness for the enemy's entertainment. Our Capital We are losing the war today and hv the mid dle of this year it may have been definitely lost. Still, there is no room for defeatism. ? From an article in The Nation.

By REV. JOHN L. GOFF Pastor Christian Church Gethsemane Via Dolorosa! Cal vary! Tom of Joseph of Arimathaea! Mighty parts of a moving drama. The hope and dreams of Apostles and common people were entombed with Jesus in the tomb in the garden. Alas Man's effort had been expend ed and God's opportunity to vindi cate the trust imposed in Him by His Son has come. The stone is rolled back and the Conquering Son of God comes forth conqueror over human injustice and cruelty, and victor ov er death and the grave. So resurrec tion day has come and to far too many, forgotten, until next year when preparation for Passion Week and Easter reminds them of the greatest achievement in human his tory. II behooves us to recall that dur ing a pi nuU of forty days after the crucifixion and resurrection that Jesus was teaching and reuniting the Apostolic Band for the work to which He had called them. He was infusing into them His great passion for the Kingdom of Love and the peoples who should become partici pants in that Kingdom. Too, He has not yet set up His Church. There must be some organic form through which His spirit could flow into the world. He had promised more than a year before that He would build His Church and the "gates of hell should not prevail against it." Thor ough preparation must be made, and when this was accomplished He led them "out until they were over against Bethany; and. He lifted up His hands, and blessed them" and passed up into the clouds from their sight. They had been told to tarry in Jerusalem until they should be endured with power from on high. Ten days after the ascension while they (Apostles) continued to pray and wait m Jerusalem, they received this enduement, and after that the Holy Spirit had come upon them, they received power for their great world mission. Coming from the up per room where they had been meet ing, they began to preach. Peter's sermon is recorded in Acts second chapter. He chose for his theme on this mighty day, "The Lordship of Jesus," and when he had made a number of references from the pro phecies of the Old Testament to sub stantiate his claim, buttressed by the recent events and the resurrec tion, Peter proceeded to make the Jewish nation and those his hearers responsible for the shedding of the blood of the Son of God. Men cried for the privilege of repentance, and when Peter granted it, many obeyed his instructions, were baptized and were saved. Thus was born the Christian Church. In Acts 2:47 we find these words: "And the Lord added to them (the Church) day by day those that were being saved." In Acts 5:11 we read, referring back to the Church, "And great fear came upon the whole Church, and upon all that heard these things." Thus we find that somewhere between the promise of Jesus to Peter in Matt 10:18 and Acts 5:11 that the Church was born. So scholars are agreed that Pentecost is the birthday of the Church. 1 It would seem therefore that | Christians should give as much a tent ion and certainly as much devc tion to Christ during these days ui til Pentecost as we do through tl period we call Lent. Unfortunate! there are those who pitch the ten< of their lives during Lent on a hig and commendable scale, but wh when Easter is gone, so is their flan ing devotion and deep piety. Had not been for the Church and its keej ing alive these significant events ? might read about them in a passir way in the history of notable achievi ment.
