FLAG DAY In less momentous times than these, when men’s lives . are not a stake nor their liberty at issue, the sight of the beloved . flag of our country stirs our hearts but rarely dims our eyes. Today, in time of war, when everything we. hold dear is threatened by a ruthless foe, our hearts swell with pride when we regard our flag and gratefully consider the blessings of freedom for which it stands. In other days we listened a little shamefacedly at our emotions to the patriotic music and oratory of Flag Day, Nobody will smile at emotion or tears this Flag Day, June 14, For this is war time, and Old Glory is the freshly meaningful standard of our liberty. It is the bright banner of a free nation, our nation, welded anew in devotion to liberty and to union— The union of lakes—the union of lands_~—The union of states none can sever; ‘The union of hearts—the union of hands— And the flag of our Union forever.—Contributed. THE (CHILDREN OF LIDICE Where are the children of Lidice? Where are the younsters of that pretty little village that stood in the sun one day, and the next day was gone, ground to dust under the blasting. funs of German “‘avengers’’ who took their toll of a whole town for the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, nazi overlord of Bohemia and Morovia. The nezais razed the villege, killed its men, sent its women to concentration camps and consigned the children to educational institutions. And today the Pragrue radio appeals to all people of good will and good hearts, to help trace those lost boys and girls. : On the basis of facts and photographs which have come out of Germany concerning treatment of all those considered unfriendly to the reich and to nazi doctrine, it is unlikely they will ever be found alive. os But this we believe: The world may never see again the tear-stained little hostages that trudged away from their homes that tragic day, terrified at what they had seen and at what lay head. But the world will never forget the inhuman tyranny of naziism. The world will remember as long as time the immortal children of Lidice.—Contributed.LAST ONE HUNDRED YEARS To those who think we may not show further progress over the future years, we call attention to how far we have recent issue of Your Estate. “One Hundred Years Ago: There was not a public library in the United States.

JUST WONDERIN’ I wonder, if: great Hercules Could walk the earth today, And gape at this, our modern scene, What would the old boy say? Hercules might have been a model of industry in ancient times, but in reality the old chap had an easy time of it. He never saw anything in the line of hard work. It is too bad he can’t come back from his place of rest and see what modern men and nations are doing today. The world of today is the scene of one stupendous task after another and despite the claims of calamity howlers, these tasks are being accomplished with an encouraging degree of success. The German monster has been subdued and the nation that delights to follow the god of war, is being put in a staight jacket. The big four in authority at Berlin are taking up the responsibilities of government and assuring law and order and of retraining, if possible the denuatured minds of those found worthy of especial attention. War criminals are being punished, not so rapidly as some of us would desire, but isfactory numbers as dys go by.

WASHINGTON NOTES By Congressman Clair Engle WASHINGTON, June 11—Veterans Investigation—The current investigation of the veterans’ hospitals and the veterans administration generally is a matter of vital concern in almost every home in America because nearly every home has someone in the service or some near relative in the service who may be using, now or in the future, veterans hospitals. The articles which appeared in March and April issues of the (Cosmopolitan magazine one of which was reprinted in the Readers Digest, ave caused a good deal of comment throughout the nation. The committee on world war veterans legislation, of Which I am a member, is conducting the investigation and heard the testimony of Albert Maisel the author of these articles. Maisel was~able to dorument and support a part of the rontents of these articles. Some of his generalizations ‘were found to be entirely too broad and some of his statements not founded on fart. Generally speaking the in-j vestigation to date reveals an inedaquate staff at all the hospitals and in many instances overcrowding through lack of sufficient facilities. It has been difficult for the veterans administration to get adequate help because of the hidebound civil service requirements and low salaries. In addition, it appears that there is too much centralization and restrictino from the top, which prevents the program in the various hospitals being as flexible and progressive as it would be. As to the California veterans hospitals the only one to date on which I have had any complaint of of comsequence is Livermore. -I again invite the veterans of my.district to give me the benefit of any of their experiences in the veterans hospitals which would be helpful to the investigation. The members of the committee are deeply concernad in the. matter and want a thorough investigation and one which will remedy any of the conditions found to be unsatisfactory. Gold Reserve Bill — The house passed the bill HR 3000 to reduce the gold reserve behind our. currency is not a matter as might be supposed, which affects only the gold mining industry and people indirectly interested in gold mining. Any move touching the stabilization of our currency is .of: vital concern to every person living--in this country. If we aren’t caréful, the people who are patriotically buying war bonds will get them payed off in dollars worth fifty per cent in purchasing power of what they paid for them. Fed people even in congress know very much about our, monetary system and leave thig baffling field which is so vital to our national economy to the alleged experts. When the bill came on the floor there were only a half dozen congressmen who expressed very much concern or took the floor on the subject. I made a speech in regard to the soundness of gold backing for our currency and the necessity of maintaining at the highest possible ratio our gold reserve. I offered an amendment to raise the price of gold to $56 as an alternative to the bill suggested by the federal: reserve system. This amendment was ruled out on a point of order. When that motion was lost I then moved to amend the bill to Hmit the reduction of gold reserves to two years so that-at-the-end of that time the ratio which has prevailed since 1913: would automatically be returned. The motion was lost on a close vote. It is surprising to What extent people have lost sight of the importance of gold in our monetary structure, largely I believe through withdrawing gold from general circulation. The statement has been made that it is riduculoug to take the gold out of the ground in California and put it back in the ground in Kentucky. In other words, a lot of people think think that gold is of no practical value so far as our currency structure is eoncerned. That is a fallacy which will have to be soon corrected. Gas for Lamb and Cattle Buyers-—On a general order cutting the gas allocation to salesmen and buyers of all types the lamb buyers of California were cut to a total of 2475
miles. for three months. The lamb buyers got mixed: in with the tie salesmen and all the others in this general order. Back here they didn’t realize that in their. busy season the lamb ‘buyers travel three or four thousand miles a month. With the Meat shortage it is more important than ever that every encouragement ibe given to the efficient movement of live stock from the farm to ‘the slaughterer houses. A vigorous protest has been made by congressmen from livestock areas on this subject and a modification of the order is GUARDIN. . _&-FRONT :, vith drastic shortages of ' doetors and nurses, thou' sands of housewives have taken home-nursing courses.
