Mine had to do with a gentleman named Spartacus when I was a Masten Park high school entrant. His was a far more timely topic the Constitution of the United States. IDs name is Edward Smith and hes a graduate of St. Joseph's on Main street in Buffalo. Smith is one of the four national winners of the American Legion's oratorical contest held each year to stimulate American high .:hool boys to study and understand the Constitution. Never was such an understanding needed more. Winning was no cinch. Two hundred thousand boys from every state Smith (there entered this year. werent too many "Smiths" in this contest, he told me) had to face nine different critical audiences one in his school; one in the city of Buffalo; one in Erie county; one In the district; one in the zone; one in the state; one in the region; one In the section, and then the final heat the national contest at Charleston, W. Va. Smith's theme was that Americans must not be too complacent about the dangers of Communism; that our Constitution in itself is not protection for our form of government that its duties and privileges must constantly be exercised by every citizen. He told me, incidentally, that Communism in relation to the Constitution was quite a popular subject among tins year's contest griHhMW d SlnSoDay, The tower of the original town church, long the only visible relic of Old Jamestown, dates back Of parto 1639, perhaps longer. ticular interest are the loopholes in the tower through which colonists fired at Indian marauders.

IF1 RNS OF SURPLUSES ' "r A- V- U ; - i Expanded conand sumption adjusted production are the major points of a strong farm program recommended by Edward A. ONeal, president of American Farm Bureau federation, in testifying before the house agriculture committee. "It would be folly to assume that we will not have burdensome surpluses of farm produce again that may wreck farm prices," O'Neal warned. In endorsing reciprocal trade principles, the farm leader declared that agriculture moie than ever needs an expanded volume of foreign trade to absorb its output. Although describing the farm legislation since the early 30s as the greatest cooperative endeavor between farmers and the government," ONeal criticized "a tend- ency to develop centralized control of these programs from Washington Instead, he urged transfer of larger authority to state extension services as a means of effecting savings in costs and providing greater service to the masses of farmers. O'Neal informed the house come mittee, which is considering a farm policy, that his organization has not come to final conclusions on the subject, but he read this statement: We recognize the desirability of full agricultural production, but agriculture cannot maintain full production if industry is going to long-rang- r5 s S" aviation notes CHURCH . . .

VOV)R In connection with the national airport plan under the federal aid airport act Civil Aeronautics administration has listed 4,431 airports which should be constructed or Improved during the next three years. From the list will be selected projects to be included In the fiscal 1948 construction program, depending on the amount of funds appropriated by congress and relative urgency of each project. Included on the list are 417 large airports (those with paved runways of 4,300 feet or longer), 3,850 smaller airports and 164 seaplane bases. Grand total cost of construction is estimated at $985,800,000, which would be divided between federal funds of $441,600,000 and sponsors share of $544,200,000. Of the 4,431 projects, 2,550 would be entirely new airports while 1,881 are existing fields requiring improvement. dramatic example of the use of air freight when combined with a bit of ingenuity spared some 20 families in Alaska the necessity of spending the winter In iglonfc or other improvised housing.
