“No matter how well paid you
may be, if there are no amuse-
ments or no opportunity for re-
laxation and pleasant social ac-
tivities, you can’t buy them,”
said the Hon. Charles P. Taft,
assistant director, Defense Health
and Welfare Service, in speaking
to church leaders recently.
“Without them, you get bad
morale for the boys in service
who have to live in discomfort
and boredom, and you get indus-
trial turnover and less war pro-
duction. Maybe they should pay
no attention and keep going, but
they don’t, and they are patriotic,
too. That situation created the
need for our Recreation Section.
The nation on the whole has met
the need for soldier recreation
through the USO and the remark-
ably fine job hundreds of com-
munities have done in open-hand-
ed hospitality. Off the continent
we haven’t done too well. These
constructive activities help re-
duce the menaces to health and
moral fibre which every war
produces.”
The Methodist Federation of
Social Service, of which Bishop
Francis J. McConnell of New
York is president, is urging pas-
tors throughout the country to
form “weekly house discussion
groups” within their local par-
ishes for the discussion of war
and post-war aims, war and post-
war economy. Such weekly bodies
of laymen now exist in severed
important Methodist and other
church parishes.
The Greater New York Feder-
ation of Churches, through Sec-
retary Robert W. Searle, is can-
vassing the churches of New
York’s five boroughs to see what
institutions are closing or limit-
ing their service because of lack
of oil or other fuel this winter.
Where such a situation exists,
the Federation excepts to find
other parishes in the same gen-
eral neighborhoods where con-
gregations and organizations can
temporarily “double up” by stag-
gering hours of services. It has
been suggested that in many
other communities, large and
small, congregations and their
service groups can similarly
“double up” for the remainder of
the winter in the best equipped
and best heated of a group of
churches.
S inths SHOULD or RELIC
BY UJ.UJ.REID
Church boards and agencies in-
terested in sending religious
workers among the men and
women in various defense and in-
dustrial areas in New York
State have been moved to in-
crease their activity by reports of
increased delinquency of juveniles
made public by a special commit-
tee reporting to the New York
Social Welfare Board. This com-
mittee pointed out that during
the first six months of 1942, in
thirteen war and industrial coun-
ties in northern New York, juv-
enile delinquency increased by 22
percent; child neglect by 39 per
cent; and the first admission of
children to foster care by 33 per
cent. “The gain in delinquency,”
the report said, “resulted from
the breaking up of families due
to the employment; of mothers, or
due to the father’s working in
another community or going into
military service.”
Fellowship among races and
equality of racial opportunity,
such as was expressed in the
early Christian church and is
again appearing as an essential
of Christian faith, is now gain-
ing general acceptance, accord-
ing to Dr. George E. Haynes, of
the Federal Council of the Chur-
ches of Christ in America, in an-
nouncing the observance of
“Race Relations Sunday” thru-
out the United States on Febru-
ary 14. “Science agrees,” say Dr.
Haynes. “It says that the blood
of humanity is one; that the same
types of blood are in all races.
Democracy approves. Its basic
principle is equality of opportun-
ity for all. Common sense sanc-
tions. It teaches us that the color
of the skin, the slant of the eye,
or the shape of the head are ab-
surd and precarious bases for
claims of racial superiority . . .
Man must be treated as man,
apart from race and birth and
color.”
“Ministers who operate 'mar-
riage mills’ for pecuniary gain
prostitute their holy calling and
merit severe rebuke,” says the
Board of Social Missions of the
United Lutheran Church in ad-
vising against hasty and mixed
marriages due to the emotional
strain and stress of the war.
Such marriages, the Board de-
clares, “promise a new wave of
domestic difficulties and divorces
.... The church can render a
singular service to couples con-
templating matrimony by provid-
ing wise counsel and wholesome
Christian influence.”

The President’s Message
In his message to the Seventy-
eighth Congress, President Roose-
velt said that he sought to am-
phasize a sense of proportion in
appraising the great events of
1942 and, to the extent that they
can be foreseen, those which lie
ahead in 1943. He succeeded ad-
mirably, in a statement which
deserves to be ranked with his
very best.
Reviewing the progress of the
war, Mr. Roosevelt spoke with
confidence of the certainty of ul-
timate success, but avoided any
suggestion of quick and easy vie- [
tory. For 1943, the most that he
would promise was a “very sub-
stantial advance” along the roads
to Tokio, Berlin and Rome. And
on this occasion he was able to
bolster his verbal assurance with
impressive statistic, not on what
we are going to produce in the
way of military weapons but on
what we did produce ip 1942. As
he called out the numbers—48,000
military planes, 56,000 combat ve-
hicles, 670,000 machine guns and
so on—the desperate men who
control the Axis countries must
have experienced a deep sense of
despair. For them, the game is
up; they cannot win and they
know it.
The President properly des-
cribed our effort during the past
year as a production miracle, but
he claimed no credit for himself
or for his administration, altho
many of the foundations of our
vast military production machine
were laid before Pearl Harbor
because he had foreseen the in-

BRUHL CHARGES
Curfew Movement Spread-
ing In Texas
• Houston adopted a 1a.m.-7a.m.
curfew on the sale of beer
in December, while Dallas
authorities announced they plan-
ned to take some action in Jan-
uary, and the San Antonia city
council took up the study of a
midnight-7a.m. and all day Sun-
day closing proposal.
In Corpus Cristi the council
began study of a grand jury
recomendation that a 10 p.m. cur-
few for juveniles be established,
and a 11p.m. curfew for sales of
evitability of war. In his message, j alcoholic beverages. Corpus
however, he preferred to give the Christi already has a 1a.m. to 7
credit to those who have actually
done the work—to the “owners,
managers and supervisors, to the
draftsmen and engineers, to the
workers—men and women—in
a.m. curfew.
Kilgore adopted an ordinance
closing beer establishments from
1 a.m. to 7 a.m., and at Harlingen
authorities voted to put all estab-
factories and arsenals and ship-, lishments there on notice that
yards and mines and mills and
forests and railroads and high-
ways.” This was something new,
and it will be welcomed.
In similar vein Mr. Roosevelt
sought to disarm his critics by
candidly admitting that mistakes
had been made on the domestic
front; that he, too, had been an-
noyed by too many complicated
forms and questionnaires. But, as
he correctly said, these mistakes
are inherent in doing big things
for the first time. The important
thing is not that mistakes have
been made, but rather that those
responsible for the errors learn
to correct them. The President
said that the lessons have been
learned and that, as far as possi-
ble, the mistakes will be rectified.
To what extent this will be done
remains, to be seen, but this can-
did statement from the President
is an encouraging first step.
Somewhat surprisingly, the
message contained few specific
recommendations and sets forth
no concrete legislative proposals.
In general terms the President
outlined the shape that he be-
lieves the post-war world should
take, and he spoke briefly of his
desire to provide greater protec-
tion in the United States against
the evils of major economic haz-
ards. But the details remain to
be filled in.
As he ‘said at the outset, his
main purpose was to emphasize
a sense of proportion, to put first
things first. In keeping with this
intent, he emphasized that “vic-
tory in this war is the first and
greatest goal before us. Victory
in the peace is next.” That un-
doubtedly is the way most Am-
ericans feel about the matter,
and it is a statement of objec-
tives behind which they can and
should unite.—The Evening Star,

Austin American, Jan. 19 —
I ormpj answer of Rep. Harry L.
Davis of Boerne to i p Prrion
c nte- of former Rep. L. L.
Bruhl of Llano, on which house
Irarmgs will start Vc t; esday
was filed by Mr. Davis Monday.
Davis was declared the winner
as the result of a large write-in
vote particularly in Gillespie
county.
Plis reply denied a charge that
Davis had donated a portrait of
Adm. Chester Nimitz of Freder-
icksburg to the voters of Gilles-
pie county, and that this gift had
influenced the voters. He donat-
ed the portrait to Gillespie coun-
ty, and it was accepted officially
by the county, not by the voters,
the reply recited.
" Numerous other points on
which Bruhl asks the house to
override Davis’ election certifi-
cate were answered. One stated
that Davis had distributed in
advance a marked ballot showing
how the voters could write in his
name, and insisted this in not in
conflict with the election laws.
The reply said that no election
judges, as charged, had suggested
to any voter during the voting
period how they should vote.
Davis said in . his reply that he
voted in the democratic primary,
and that he applied to have his
name printed on the ballot in the
er’s court was reported to have
endorsed a petition, drawn for
presentation to the Texas Legis-
column of independent candidates
He denied that he became dis-
qualified to seek office in the
general election by voting in the
primary. He denied also one of
Bruhl’s contentions, that he was
not an actual bona fide resident
of Kendall county when he ran
for office.

of all alcoholic beverages at “an

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS...1
‘‘I’ve been meanin* to ask you for the last
couple of weeks, Judge, what you think of
this prohibition talk that keeps croppin’ up
every so often.”
“I’ve heard some of it too, Henry, and
1 feel like this about it...
“It comes from a comparatively small
group of reformers... the same type that
plunged us into prohibition during the last
war. And, as we all remember, into nearly
14 years of the worst crime and gangsterism
this country has ever known. Everybody
had all the liquor they wanted only it came
from bootleggers at exorbitant prices and
the government was deprived of millions and
millions of dollars in taxes.
“ It seems to me, as I told my Congress-
man down in Washington last week, that
we’ve got all we can do here at home to
help win this war without wasting time
arguing about things we know, from sad
experience, won’t work.”
