An Opportunity
For Hertford
There is considerable talk about
providing jobs for the service men
. ..., fume home and the Con-
cress has enacted a law which seeks
to paara, tee a discharged serv,ce
man his former job.
In some of the larger cities of the
, ;m. and among the large corpora
tions one notes activity along the;
line of taking care of the soiaier.
sailors and marines when they come
back Municipalities are naturally
interested in providing employment
because otherwise the men must look
plsewhere for work.
There is ' every reason why the
smaller cities and towns throughout
the nation should do likewise. Near
ly every lown wants additional popu
lation. T.'f-y seek to attract new in
dustries in order to have jobs to at
tract new residents. What about the
hundreds of men who will be hunting
gomewhi..; to live and work?
Hertford has many of its sons and
some 0, it., daughters in active ser-1
vice. Most of them, if they can, will
preier to live and work here among
tiic people they know. What are the
p .ospects that they will have the op
portunity to work? If they cannot
lind employment, they will certainly
hav to depart for other localities.
It is tune for civic groups and of
ficials to begin to survey the local
situation, isot only should a record
te made of every resident in service, '
but a systematic check-up should be
carried out in order to ascertain
whether hio. or her, old job is avail-.

people and tuur reprebentattveit to
Congress. , The. proposal to intrust
ratification to a simple, majority. of
Eh House has now topped its first
die a sub-committee of the
lse Juuiciary Committee.
But friends of this' change, will do
well not to assume that their battle
is won. For this, amendment may
win approval of the whole House Ju
diciary Committee and of the House
Itself and still be far from adoption.
Before it can even be submitted to
the States the Senate, must approve,
and the Senate is rarely in a hurry
to surrender its special prerogatives.
Some of the urgency behind the
demand for change has now abated.
Citizens who declare that it is ' un
reasonable to require a two-thirds
vote of the Senate for making peace
while war can be declared by a ma
jority of Congress, may feel that they
should press on for an amendment.
But many who are primarily interest
ed in this particular peace are be-
! ginning to feel that the purpose of
I the people has been made so plain
1 particularly by the rejection, of iso
l lationists in the election that there
is little danger of a good treaty
! failing in the Senate.
I The debate over a change may be
a healthy thing. But there would
be at least one advantage in not
forcing a change through hurriedly
simply to get approval of a specific
peace plan: a Teace which is over-
1 whelmingly approved by the people
' should have a better chance of re-
taining the lasting support which
' alone can make it succeed. Christian

IN MEMORIAM
In memory of our son and brother,

November 30, 1943.
A year ago you left us,
And, Oh, the vacant place
Can not be taken by another
Kov you were dear to our hearts.

When in the bloom of youth,
He took you away from us
And left our hearts to ache.

Where we'll never have to part.

And the noise of a car.
Reminds us of the time you were
Yourwinning smile and thoughtful
Brought to us many a glad hour
Why you left us was one ot tne
things
That we will never understand.
But, George, if you could look down
on this world and see the tears
that are shed,
Then you would know a portion
Of how we all loved you.
We know God's way is the best way
And we will try to live
So we'll see you again bye and bye

Ratifying Treaties
For some months steam has been
building up behind the move to end
the power of one-third plus one of
the United States Senate to block
.ratification of a treaty. Many
Americans hare been thinking that a
Constitutional amendment for that
, purpose was an essential first step
toward winning the peace. For they
recall only too vividlv that American
participation in a world security sys
tem was blocked 26 years ago despite

Dear George, we know you're not
dead,
You're just away, asleep, resting un

We loved you, dear brother,
You were so good and kind to us.
It was hard to give you up,
But it was something that had to be
done. ,
We had to sit with broken hearts,
And watch you be put in that cold,
cold ' ground.
There was a crowd all around,
There were beautiful flowers, too,
But none of this, or anything else,
Could bring you back to us
We had to. let you go,
We will never forget you,
No matter how old we get to be
Your family's home, this home will
never be the same.
We all know you are not to blame;
It 'had to happen and it happened to

We are not the only ones with sorrow
and grief, , , " ' '
So we will try our best to look on
the bright side of life,
And do the best we can, '
But we never, can forget
