The only trouble is that Americas most important decision has already been made, and nobody seems to realize it. We know that the British empire has broken up, but, aside from the fact that there is some grumbling about loaning money to the British, it doesnt seem to concern us very much.

On that premise the group recommendd that the government start now to spend on the air force in 1948 l.S billion dollars more than the 2 85 billion currently scheduled for this calendar year, and that In 1949 the total be raised still another 1.3 billion dollars. For actual air strength the commission said that by 1942 the U. S. should command a total of 12 TO first-lin- e planes, plus more than 8,000 held in reserve. It was extremely unlikely that the air policy commissions recommendations would be adopted in tdto by this or any other peacetime congress, the report put realistic emphasis where emphasis belonged. Everyone has been aware that air power is mandatory if the U. S. is to'have any degree of national security in an era of feverish atomic-bom- b production, and the commission has succeeded in putting that awareness on as tactual a basis as Is possible now.

Among these are the rodent-earner- s of bubonic plague, the zebra, deer, gazelle, elan and possibly lions, tigers and leopards which are believed to be reservoirs of African sleeping sickness.

Churches are playing an Important role in the concerted effort to Improve rnral living. Typical are these scenes, taken at the Alpine, Tenn., mission of the Presbyterian church, which operates s forest of 1,500 acres and a farm of 100 acres. The dairy herd (left) In front of the modern barn show the strides made In better agriculture while the sawmill (right) helps make the forest a paying proposition. SMftlt TOWNS, 0.3. A. Revitalized Country Church Economic Role Plays Social,EARLE HITCH By WNU Without in any sense departing from the Christian aims of saving souls and preaching redemption, the churches simply are adding an awareness of social and economic responsibility to their mission of salvation. The concerns of the entire home, family, farmcommunity become the concerns ing, health of the community church. Particularly valuable and instructive as models or demonstrations for study are the community plans being carried out by missions of the Presbyterian Methodist churches In the mountains of Ken- tucky and Tennessee. The Presbyterian projects are at Morris Fork and Wooton, Ky., and at Alpine and Big Lick, Tenn. The Methodists have community missions at Frakes, Ky., and Sevierville, Tenn. A larger community project at Blue Springs, Tenn., represents the combined parishes of the Methodi?ts. Disciples of Christ and Presbyterians. Diverse Projects. All have much In common, but in some things each in unique. Blue Springs is the" oldest mission,, and Its area is the largest some 400 miles square. It has seven churches and four preaching points at neigha cooperative borhood centers, store, an energetic training program in public health and a continuing series of adult education COMMUNITY ENTERPRISE . , . One of the leading churches In promoting community development is Calvary Presbyterian church (above) at Big Lick, Tenn. The church was built by people of the community, which consists of only about 50 families. Landscaping was done by the pastor and farmers. who has supplied the leadership which has made Big Lick a better place to live and work.

There Is also a study of the cooperative movement, end committees are developing plans for future cooperative undertakings, possibly in marketing of home crops, processing and a credit union. Big Lick has Us own machinery pool. Including a tractor, a hammer mill and a saw mill. Build Own Church. Wooton community, under the ministry of Benton Deaton, has a fine community church and playground, built by the people themselves. In the recreation center the children of the neighborhood have a place to enjoy their games and the whole community has its picnics and outdoor religious gatherings. Wooton owns a cooperative truck, which provides transportation for the farmers who want to send things to market, and have things bought for them in town. Very few of the people have cars, and their osual means of travel la by mule back. Wooton also has a circulating library, the beginnings of a demonstration farm, and a training course in handicrafts and cottage industries, for both men and women. Similar work, especially In health, soil saving and better farming. Is going on at Alpine, Morris Fork, Frakes and Seviervilie.
