WAR
The world has become air-mind-
ed. Although airoplanes were not
considered effective-in warfare in
Spain or China, the Germans have
1 made them their most powerful and
effective instruments of war. A
billion dollars will be expended by
our government for air machines to
properly protect our country
against any possible invasion, and
or anti-aircraft guns.
What was once considered our
greatest defense against attack
from a foreign foe, the Atlantic
Ocean on the east and the Pacific
Ocean on the west, has vanished in
the face of modern air transporta'-
tion; the two oceans have become
paved highways to our shores
through the use of modern water
transportation.
The President said in his message
on last Thursday, May 16th:
"The Atlantic and Pacific Oceans
w$re reasonably adequate defensive
barriers when fleets under sail could
move at au average speed of 5
miles per hour. Even then by a
sudden foray it was possible for the
opponent actually to burn our Na-
tional Capitol. Later, the oceans
still gave strength to our defense
when fleets and convoys propelled
by steam could sail the o'ceans at
15 to 20 miles an hour."
"But the new element-air navi-
gation-steps up the speed of possi-
ble attack to 200, to 300 miles an
hour."
Then the President pointed out
how easy it would be for our Na-
tion to be attacked from near by air
bases.
I invite your attention to the
following significant and highly im-
portant statements in the Presi-
dent's speech, which represent the
policies of our Nation on the great
question of war and defense:
"The protection of the whole
American Hemisphere against in-
vasion, or control or domination by
non-American Nations has the
united support of the 21 American
Republics including the United
States."
"We have had the lesson before
us over and over again—nations
that were not ready and were una-
ble to get ready found themselves
over run by the enemy."
"So-called impregnable fortifica-
tions no longer exist. A defense
which allows an enemy to consoli-
date his approach without hin-
drance will lose. A defense which
makes no effective effort to destroy
the lines of supplies and communi-
cations of the enemy will lose."
"Our ideals, our objective, is still
peace—peace at home and peace
abroad. Nevertheless, we stand
ready not only to spend millions for
defense, but to give our service and
even our lives for the maintenance
of our Americaa liberties,"
"Our security is not a matter of
weapons alone. The arm that
wields them must be strong, the
eye that guides them clear, the will
that directs them indomitable."
"These are the characteristics of
a free people, a people devoted to
the institutions they themselves
have built, people willing to defend
a way of life that is precious to
them all, a people who put their
faith in God "
TROJAN HORSE TACTICS
When the German parachute
jumpers landed in Norway and
Holland, they ran to the nearest
building where they knew a smypa-
thizer resided, Local policemen
were shot in the back by them and
by disloyal nationals in these coun-
tries. In every country in the
world, the nazi agents have been
at work. They learn the names
and addresses of people, who are
disloyal to their country and who
are willing to help Germany, in the
event of an attack. If parachute-
jumpers were to land in New York
today, they would exactly whereto
go in order to receive aid and com-
fort. The Nazi and Communistic
groups have been and are befriend-
ing Russia and Germany in this
country. England and France
would be well prepared in this em-
ergency had it not been for the
loud, vociferous minority groups;
although not strong in numbers,
they were sufficently militant and
aggressive to retard an adequate
National Defens^ jjjferam. g0
enemies from witbfn wfll- be the
major contributing1 causj^ of the
defeat of these two countries, if
they are defeated. Let Jul continue
to be on guard here.
WAR PREPARATIONS SLOW
It is not an easy matter for a
country to prepare itself for war.
England and France are now try-
ing to purchase 8,000 airoplanes to
be delivered by September, 1941.
Incidentally, this date implies that
that they believe it will be a long
war. American manufactures are
proceepir g slowly on this despite
the fact that the Allies will pay for
the expansion because there are
several bottle-necks.
The first is tooling. For exam-
pic, a plant addition by one im-
portant American company has
been finished for a couple of months
but necessary equipment will not
be ready until August.
The second is a shortage of a
particular type of skilled labor,
the "all around" mechanic who is
able to follow his own part of the
job right on through to the final
inspection. The substition of
highly specialy specialized mechan-
ics who can be trained in a shorter
period has created some acute dif-
ficulties.
The third is the restricted pro-
duction of certain parts, particula-
ly those under patent. While the
owners of the patent are willing to
co-operate, so far as the American
program is conceraed, a different
question arises as to making such
patents available to other compa-
nies for Allied orders.
With our own billion dollar air
program in full swing, many of
these difficulties for the Allies will
be ironed out.

METHODIST CHURCH
Sunday School—Attendance off
some. Fine study theme. Teach-
ers with well prepared lessons. If
you were not present you were
missed. Be on hand next Sunday.
Eleven O'clock Hour. Being
fourth Sunday Missionary Sunday
was obsereed. The service was led
by Mrs. S. E. Ellington, she was
assisted in the program by Ben El-
lington and Ross Lanier. The les-
son was on India, its teeming mil-
lions and their needs.
Rev. Rider taking fofliis text the
following scripture from the book
of Genesis. And a certain young
man found him and behold he was
wandering in a field. Theme—In-
dividual Devotions. Rev. Rider
declared that the greatest hindrance
to progress in the Kingdom is the
lack of invidual devotion. The
Church, God's Kingdom is made
up of individuals and carries indr
vidual responsibility. We too of-
ten think in terms of groups and
shirk our re sponsibility, to God,
to the church and to man. For
this reason we fail in our task of
finding the wonderer and bringing
him into the Kingdom. Every
person ever brought to God since
Jesus came into the world has been
touched and helped by some other
individual responsibility. Are you
constant in your devotions to God
and to the need of man. If so, you
can and will set others on the way
to God and to service StudyGod's
plan with your life let him have his
way. Do not shirk responsibility
but rather seek it. You have a
great work to do. Go and do it
whatever it is. It is God's plan
for you to serve him.
At the close of the service Mrs.
B. L. Scott, formerly of Kaufman,
who now resides in our City, came
forward and united with our church.
We rejoice that she is in our midst
and that she is one of us.
Remember the date of the be-
ginning of the Revival is near, June
5th, Rev. Frank Dent, a former
Linden boy, son of Rev. I. O. Dent,
a former and much loved pastor of
the Linden charge, will do the
preaching. Frank Dent is now
pastor of the Navasota church.
He is one of the outstanding young
preachers of Texas Methodism.
You will want to hear him. You
wili hear, and rejoice in his soul
stirring messages, success has every
where crowned his efforts. Watch
and pray, Come afld help, we need
you, the church needs you, God
needs you,
No evening services, Rev. Rider
dismissed the evening services and
urged every one to attend services
at the Badtist churcn and hear
Brother Cook.

FERGUSONS ASK: "IS THE
LEGISLATURE TO BLAME?
Our preseut governor has shed tears as big as a biscuit over inmatc*
of our eleemosynary institutions and has shouted through the micro-
phone about his betrayal by the legislature which refused to back us
efforts to help these poor unfortunates.
In the first issue of his private newspaper, dated April 8th, in an
nouncing for reelection the governor states: "I found our eleemosy
nary institutions wholly inadequate to take care of the insane, the blin
and the feeble-minded, and many of these unfortunate people house
in firetraps and languishing in jail." In the April 29th issue of his pa-
per a screaming headline on the front page informs us that 800 insane
are now confined in jails for lack of room in State hospitals.
It is not a pleasant task to be forced to call a four-flushers hand
or to expose stark hypocrisy in public office, but taxpayers are entitled
to facts.
The governor has repeatedly boasted of vetoing five million dollar
in the appropriation bill but has remained strangely silent about the
individual items. Of the five million dollars which he cut out, $1,821,-
325 was money which the legislature had appropriated for the support
of eleemosynary institutions. Included in this amount was $1,524,674
wnich was to be distributed between the ten State hospitals for the insane
which would have gone a long way toward remedying the condition
which is now rending the Governor's heart.
Other items vetoed by the governor included: $138,000 for two of
our State tubercular hospitals; $70,131 for two of our State orphans'
homes; $50,520 for the Texas School for the Blind; $38,000 for the two
institutions for wayward boys and girls.
Let's see if the governor can hang this on the legislature.
The Fergusons have never vetoed one dollar appropriated for our
[eleemosynary institutions in the past and will not do so in future.

Poppy Sale A Success
The Poppy Sale headed py the
women of the American Legion
Auxilary, Linden, Texas, Saturday
May 25th, was a great success.
The Citizens of our County re-
sponded with nice donations for
the Poppies. We want to thauk
every one who contributed in any
way to the Sale, Our Sales amount
to $80.47 of which we are very
proud. Mozellc Cloninger, a Girl
Scout, reported more sales than
any one else. Her sales amounted
to $18-06.
To the Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts,
Girls Scouts and all others who so
gladly gave their time tor this
cause, we say "THANK \OU".
Your eagerness to work and your
smiles throughout the day meant
to the success of the Sale. To our
good good Newspapers in our
County, we deeply appreciate the
publicity you gave the Sale pre-
ceeding Poppy Day.
The people of Atlanta. Bryant'
: Mill, Hughes Springs, Avinger,
Linden and surrounding territories
were very liberal with their dona-
tions, and encouragement. We
wisl\to thank you for helping to
make it a very pleasant day. This
money goes to pay the Veterans in
Hospitals for making the Poppies,
and for welfare work in our Coun-
ty among our Word War Veterans,
and their dependents. Our success
in the Sale reminds us, that be-
yond a doubt, our people are still
for the Veterans who so willingly
fought for us. We again wish to
say. "THANK YOU".
Mrs. Morris Nelson, Poppy
Chairman, American Legion
Aux., Linden.
