A bomber crashes while taking a test flight in California Califor-nia and a French army man is killed. Despite efforts to keep the news services from learning his identity, the cat is let out of the bag America, it seems, is going to sell war planes to France. Or rather, WAS going to do so, for the present congressional congres-sional inquiry may block the deal. If our government was to approve the sale of planes to Nazi Germany, or Fascist Italy, you'd hear a howl go up that would echo to the moon. But there is not the slightest difference in selling such instruments of war to the French or the British. The surest way to get into war is for this country to start selling arms to belligerent Europe. Technically, the sale of a vast fighting fleet to France may not be a violation of the arms embargo act but France is so close to war right now that it is mighty poor policy for us to be aligning ourselves on her side. It is going to be a hard fight to stay out of the next war " but it surely, is a worthwhile one. The only way we can do it is to treat ALL foreign nations, no matter what their political belief, with strict impartiality. Hat fields and McCoys The HatfieMs and McCoys are at it again. No news in that. The Hatfields and McCoys have been at it for 40 years, making history, hospital cases and the raw material for folk songs. But it's different today. Yesterday's Hatfield-McCoy feuds made the West Virginia and Kentucky hills ring with rifle fire. Today's shooting was done with a ball at a basket in the high school gymnasium at Matewan, W. Va. Nine Hatfields were on one team, six McCoys on the ' other. Eight fouls were called on the McCoys before the evening was over, and six on the Hatfields. But the Hat ields won, 17-5. Process of civilization in miniature: the Hatfields and McCoys have learned to say it with baskets instead of bullets. Typographical Tragedy Every lover of the printed word must stand with Frederick Freder-ick William Goudy today as he gazes at the tragic ruins of a converted water mill at Marlboro-on-the-Hudson. The mill was Goudy's workshop, and when it soared up in .a midnight fire, ashes, blackened timbers, fused masses of metal were all that remained of the original designs, matrices, and other paraphernalia relating to the 107 type faces designed by Frederick Goudy. No man who reads books or any other well-printed matter mat-ter today is without a debt to Goudy, an artist and a master craltsman. But Frederick Goudy has, in spite of everything, a satisfaction sat-isfaction that is given to only a few men. He knows that not fire, not death itself, can wipe out the beauty he created cre-ated and gave to the world.

Not too many years ago our local Insane asylum became be-came a mental hospital. Between these two designations is about one thousand years of progressive civilization. It is a far cry from the days when insane people were considered evil spirits (who were murdered) or criminals (whs were beaten and tortured) or just animals ani-mals (to be herded together and kept clean and warm for decency'3 sake). I say it is a far cry to the modern mental hospitals of today. No one in their right minds would douse a pneumonia patient in an icy bath and leave him wet: no one who knows anything at all would give an acute appendicitis case a dose of caster oil; or advise a tuberculosis victim to exercise and fast, these things just aggravate aggra-vate the disease. In mental medicine medi-cine for insanity is now definitely classed .with medicine the most painstaking care must be taken of the minds of patients. They must be treated with extreme kindness and consideration, or their condition is aggravated. The most exacting training and patience must be exercised if they are to be helped and helped they cer tainly are- One hundred years ago this would have been consid a k i.j ered miraculous. Just the same, the miracle is happening. Insane people ARE being cured of some forms of mental illness, and research is turning up new things continually.

LIBERTY By GRACE C AND LAND As we look over the world today to-day and read of the wars in progress, prog-ress, see the frantic preparation for other wars, and learn that the liberties, which we consider so necessary for happiness, are being, be-ing, taken from the people In other lands, rTO stop to analyze at the beginning of the birth-month of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln the liberty which is ours. What is this thing we call liberty? lib-erty? We speak of liberty and freedom, and while they are sim ilar in meaning, there is a differ- cute in Liieir use. r reeuom , yf . 1 says Webster, "implies absence of icaiiamt or oppression. whJle liberty suggests a release from bondage or restraint."

But, and here is the rub, it takes a very specialized training, and a very specialized personality, and a very definite enthusism for the work to get anywhere with psychopathic psy-chopathic treatments. If ever a profession should be kept out of politics, this one should., The chance for abuses is unlimited, and here we are to Bill Number 37. When our hospital here was reorganized, reor-ganized, a board was formed and things were done up just as fine as they could be, with . outside authority coming in to tell us who were fifty years behind the times how it should be done. We've since had an institution to be proud of. The new insulin shock treatment is given here, with an outpatient department, that would surprise you, just to mention one phase. Well, now this aorementioned bill is for the sole purpose of throwing the hospital back into the political pork barrel. The only qualification the superintendent superinten-dent would have to have, if this monstrous thing goes through, is that he shall be a man of broad business experience and may be a pnysician." One would think this most delicate of all modern medi cal institutions was a chain groc ery, and if the man picked for the job of manager by a political committee com-mittee happened to be a doctor, thpy wouldn't hold it against him. Politically open handed, the spon sor of this bill further wants to make a mockery out of this hu mane endeavor by limiting the term of each "supe" to four years. Imagine the pandemonium or rather, the apathy and despair tnat would enter such a place. No apperciable amount of help can be given in four years, not if the policy and personnel are going tb cnange at tne end of that time. What would be the use of trying to do anything. The place would revert to medevial times.

The slaves of the South were given their liberty. We have civil liberties and individual liberties lib-erties which are vouchsafed to us by organized society and governments. gov-ernments. Freedom and liberty are God-given God-given principles. They are the very foundation stones of this earth. Man wa created and given his agency. lie was given the right to choose his way and the liberty to rise above his fellow-men. fellow-men. In order for man to achieve he must not be deprived of these two great essentials. When a man, or a group of men, rise up and take away these rights, there will be chaos and darkness, confusion and decay. God's spirit will not be there. Force and oppression are not His way of dealing with humanity. hu-manity. America is a choice land. We can keep it so only so long as we keep God's spirit in this land. That is our concern at this very critical hour when the world seems slipping away from Him, back into the dark abyss of serfdom, degradation degrad-ation and unbelief.
