Another Guy to Watch Out For
v* >■' '
There if always time to be right.
The United States is today in much the position
f Captain Flagg in “What Price Glory” when Sergeant
Hung at him the exultant challenging “Think
it, Captain Flagg, think fast!”
On the “lease-lend" bill we must think fast. But
Alt does not mean that we should not think at all.
There is time to be right.
Nothing, either in speed or clarity, is gained by
Savage verbal pyrotechnics assailing all who would
alter the bill by a tithe as “appeasers,” or flaying those
who favor the bill as interventionists already wading
hi blood up to the hips.
There are perfectly earnest, sincere men and wom-
en on both sides of this argument, and to impugn
their sincerity is not the best tactic for their oppon-
ents to adopt. This is serious—far too serious to per-
mit sacrificing accuracy on the altar of a phrase—as
Senator Wheeler did when he referred to “plowing un-
der every fourth American boy.” It is far too serious
to answer every criticism of the bill with a piercing
shriek of “Appeaser! Appeaser!”
Coldly, wisely, and quickly, the American people
must approach the problem laid before them here. This
is definite, practical. It is of no service to wish we
could render aid without risk of war—it is crystal clear
that the only course entailing no present risk is to cut
off aid completely. Few would wish to go so far. (hi
the other hand, as new means of extending aid are
devised, and that aid becomes a greater and greater fac-
tor in the struggle, the risk of being involved increases.
This weighing of more effective aid against greater
present risk, this weighing of less effective aid against
greater future risk, every man must do for himself.
Debate, as long as it sticks strictly to the subject,
as long as it contributes to clearer understanding of
the issue, is good. For instance, there seem excellent
grounds for limiting the extended presidential powers
to a definite time, subject then to renewal. That makes
it clearer that Congress is delegating its own powers
temporarily, but retaining them permanently.
But filibustering, senseless delays, personal abuse,
the calling of purple names, serve no good end.
We do not want to set this course unthinking and
driven, in European style. We want to think, think
fast, then act!
PUTTING THE BAD IN BADMINTON
Already those sacrifices we have been told must be
made on account of the war in Europe are beginning
to sit up and make faces at us. It seems that it's get-
ting difficult to procure the shuttlecocks (corks with
feathers stuck in ’em) that are batted about in the
game of badminton.
American goose quills aren’t tough enough it seems,
and the really tough ones which used to come, appro-
priately enough, from Greece, can’t get through war
zones.
Now is the time for ail good geese to get tough for
the sake of badminton. But if they can’t make the grade,
the quills of the American eagle are still plenty tough
enough for even faster games.

Taking Care Of Governors
Major Inauguration Task
BV BRUCE PATTON
Sweetwater Reporter
Washington ( orrespondent
WASHINGTON — It’ll ho
a long time before the people
who ran the third term in-
auguration show forget
about the time they had
taking care of all the slate
governors.
All of tile IS governors
were invited to come down
and see the inauguration.
Slightly more than half ac-
cepted; most of the rest
promised to send their lieu-
tenant governors or other
official representatives.
It was then up to Col.
Horace Smith, the inaugur-
al committee’s general
chairman of arrangements,
•so see that the visiting dig-
nitaries were properly en-
tertained.
The ;ob looked simple, at
first. On inauguration day
there would be the cere-
monies themselves, the
parade, a White House lun-
cheon and a White House
tea. In the evening there
was to be a big inaugural
ball. Ail in all, everyone’s
time would be thoroughly
filled.
Then plans for the big
ball in the evening were can-
celed. Colonel Smith and
his helpers had to face the
possibility that two dozen
governors would have a long
evening with nothing to do.
So they got in touch with
the congressional delega-
tions and the ’ate societies
and saw to it that some sort
of banquet, hull or coming
out party was taged for
each of the distinguished vis-
itors.
MAINE A > D
VKRMON1 AGAIN
The inaugural committee
had just, got through sigh-
ing with relief when a gap
developed in the program for
the Sunday preceding inau-
guration day. The commit-
tee was throwing a tea
party Sunday afternoon, and
Sunday night there was to
be the electors' dinner,
which all the governors
would attend; hut from noon
to .3 p. m. nothing al all was
planned for their visiting ex-
cellencies.
Back on the telephone
went the volunteer workers,
calling up congressmen,
leaders of state societies and
interested citizens generally,
selling each group on the
idea that each governor
ought to have a Sunday noon
luncheon or breakfast-lunch
party to tide over that gap.
With a little -ales effort,
the idea was put over — but
the two most striking re-
action- came, oddly enough,
from Maine and Vermont.
The Maine state society
co-operated harder than any
other state group, going to
the length of ^ending a pub-
licity man back home to urge
folks to come down and see
the inaugural and honor
Governor Sumner Sewall.
The Vermonters, on the
other hand, couldn’t see the
Sunday luncheon project, at
all. They expressed admira-
tion for Gov. William H.
Wills, and hoped his stay
would be happy; but they
were putting on a big party
for him on Monday night
and one party for one gov-
ernor seemecT ample. This
problem was finally solved
by stirring tip a catch-all
luncheon for Governor Wills
and a few of the territorial
governors who wouldn't be
having any home folks to
entertain ihem in any case.
HAPPY
ENDING
There were a few minor
troubles . . . Not until
three days before the inau-
guration did the Indiana
society know definitely that
Gov. Henry L. Schrieker
would he present, but it
made its last-minute enter-
tainment plans without a
whimper . . . And the Mis-
souri people were in a fix,
because right up to the last
nobody was quite certain
who the new governor was
and hence didn’t know who
had the right to send down
Here It Is. The
Newest Dance
NEW YORK—(UP)—Her-
bert (th i s-one-wi 11-k il 1-y ou)
White Wednesday introduc-
ed his latest dance step
the Harlem Congerou.
It is a combination of the
I,indy Hop (also invented by
While) and Ihe Conga, with
a few kangoroo jumps
thrown in for good meas-
ure.
The dance starts with
what “Whitie” terms as
“real simple step.” The girl
does a double somersault
over her partner’s back.
Then:
Partner grabs girl by her
hands and throws her
through his legs. She slides
several feet on her stomach.
Girl then leaps up. and
partner grabs her right
leg *,nd tight hand t
twirls her three times around
his head.
Putting girl down, partner
runs up the side of the
wall, somersaults into the
waiting arms of girl and
then they “boogie-woogie.”
Partner then whips into a
little ballet stuff, twirling
round and around with one
foot extended. Girl 'lucks
each time foot comes around.
Then, in a sma-h fini-h
partner grabs girl and
throws her She land- on
her back and while partner
claps, girl does a horizontal
shake.
The fiance is done with
four couples at onee. It's
stream-lined folk dance,
White said.
an official representative . . .
A ml the Louisiana situation
was a hit ticklish, because
the two senators have been
hitter political foes of Gov.
Sam Jones. . . .
But in the end everything
got arranged, and the gov-
ernors were all taken care
of.
