But no matter what the cause, the change is desirable. It does not require that a newspaper be eternally crusading, but it does call for a recognition of the sore spots of the locality and the taking of vigorous steps to correct them. It requires a determination by the paper to make the "home town" a really better place to live in, in the real-not the "booster" and Chamber of Commerce-sense. Every newspaper in the United States should follow the trend. Each and all should take action. The great needs of the American news- paper today are an intense desire to serve the community and the nation constructively, and a willingness to do so in the face of any opposi- tion which may arise. 1- On The Level DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN Publication in the Bulletin is constructive notice to all members of the University.

TODAY is the second and last chance Ann Arbor will have to contribute to the Tag Day drive of the Fresh Air Carp. They need $2,500 to meet their budget. Perhaps these two stories may show the utter need for this camp out at Patterson Lake: One day last week an 11-year-old kid with straggly white hair climbed into an oak tree, tied a rope firmly about a leafy limb, tied the other about his thin neck, and gave himself a push with his hands. A disheartened boy was saved from hanging himself when a coun- selar saw him jump and then clutch at the taut cord. Another kid had been too bothersome for the counselor to handle. His sullen refusal to co- operate with any part of the program caused him to be sent home to Detroit. It was Sunday night that a counselor found his bed already inhabited. It was Johnny; his mother had sent him back to the camp. The 12-year-old boy, asleep in an old sweater, didn't care much where he stayed. The camp wasn't exactly his idea of fun, and his mother was a follower of the world's oldest profession. She didn't want him around when she brought men home and he was a brat anyhow. These are extreme cases, but are by no means the only extreme cases. These boys need help. With their third week of camp beginning, these two fellows are reported to have become two of the camp's most willing members, both in work and in play. Boys aren't naturally bad, and they deserve an insight into good living. Without it at the impressionable ages of 9 to 14 years, they de- velop suddenly and certainly into hardened pros- pects for our penitentiaries. Penitentiaries and criminals cost a lot of money. The institution at Jackson, where the seventh Session excursion will go next ,Wednes- day, was built at a cost of $8,000,000. Youngsters will again solicit your aid at many points on the campus today. There are 160 other fellows waiting for their four weeks at Patterson Lake, and it's they your contribution will help. They are coming out next month from Detroit, Wyandotte, and Hamtramck for a month's swimming, hiking, baseball games, na- ture study, and a good time. But when they return home they will have got smething vastly more important.' They will have learned to do their share of the work; to play fair in games; they will have developed an interest in things they have never known before, and having been shown what fun it is, they will be impressed. Newspapers And Community Service .. . A MERICAN NEWSPAPERS are in- creasingly coming to recognize that they are more than mere news-distributing agencies. While the virulent personal journalism of past decades has practically disappeared, a large number of papers are trying to take a more active part in local affairs and thus to be- come stronger forces in their communities. It is time that such a change took place. For too many years there have been reasons for asking why the newspapers existed. In order of importance the raison d'etre of the average paper seemed to consist of: (a.) profit-making; (bi) increasing personal prestige; (c.) distribut- ing and gathering news; and (d.) community service. The decline of most newspapers can probably be attributed primarily to the business office and THE FORUM L- Letters published in this column should not be construed as expressing the editorial opinion of The Daily. Anonymous contributions will be disregarded. The names of communicants will, however, be regarded as confidential upon request. Contributors are asked to be brief, the editors reserving the right to condense all letters of more than 300 words and to accept or reject letters upon the criteria of general editorial importance and interest to the campus. On The Court Bill To the Editor: In a recent editorial you suggest that the filibuster is an undemocratic weapon for Roose- velt's opposition to use against his proposal to subvert the Supreme bench, that it is a denial of the free exercise of the people's choice as it should be expressed through their representa- tives, that the people showed tacit agreement with the President's designs in the overwhelming majority they gave him lastNovember. Is it possible that you believe this yourself? Are you so politically naive as to think, even for a moment, that Roosevelt's puppet show on- Capitol Hill expresses the will of the people? Would you care to defend before God and your conscience the thesis that the people in voting for a politician in November underwrote there- by a scheme which lie didn't divulge until the year following-and had expressly denied enter- taining? Would you care to debate the legitimacy of a filibuster in the Court issue with a keen and unbiased analyst like Walter Lippmann, who says that a filibuster against the Roosevelt plan is not only justified, but demanded as a patriotic duty? The late Joseph Robinson was an able man. You call him great. A truly great man would have followed his conscience, no matter how the whip cracked about his ears. It is regrettable that others equally as able as Robinson are daily selling themselves down river to a relentless and self-centered taskmaster. It is even more re- grettable that the most brazen effronteries of the President and his Lewises and Farleys are suffered quietly by the American people and cheered by the diapered radicals enrolled in the American universities. -Charles A. Smith. Peace Before Socialism (From the N. Y. Herald Tribune) DR. JESSE H. NEWLON, director of the Lin- coln School of Teachers College, has told a conference of school teachers that the greatest hope of avoiding Fascism in this country lies in a strong labor union movement. One can agree with him, provided his definition of a strong labor union movement means a thoroughly dis- ciplined and responsible one. If, on the contrary, he has in mind the CIO surge, then his argu- ment is obviously ridiculous. The CIO to date, as witness the vigilante spirit it has aroused, has done more to promote Fascism in this country than has any other factor. Its control by an autocracy unaccount- able to its membership, its violent, lawless meth- ods and disregard of contractual obligations have created a condition of anarchy dangerously sim- ilar to that which in Italy provoked the march of the Black Shirts on Rome. To avoid Fascism, then, the most pressing thingeat the moment is public control and reform of the labor union movement as represented by the policies and tactics of Mr. Lewis's organiza- tion. This entails as the first step complete revision of the Wagner act to bind labor equally with the employer to the course of conduct which today it prescribes only for the latter. It en- tails such a supervision of union affairs that neither the dictator nor the racketeer may take charge, and such restrictions of the right to strike that the right to work shall not be in- fringed. Only a labor union movement subject to restraints of the kind can remain safe for democracy. IAs Others See It To Avoid Fascism To the Editor: Inasmuch as I shall have left the University's employ when you receive this letter, I should be more than happy if you should publish my reason for voting the Communist ticket last November. You will recall that former Regent Murfin was considerably exercised at hearing that something like 10 Communist straw votes were cast on this campus. Shortly before the election, in order to avoid misunderstanding when asked how I expected to vote, I prepared the follow- ing statement, which I showed to all questioners: "I expect to vote the Communist ticket in November because I believe, as President Wilson believed, and as Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt said, in 1920, that United States membership in the League of Nations is 'the single paramount issue.' The Communist platform, in its Section VIII, is the only platform T SEEMS that when Dr. Victor Heiser was in the Philippines he had a Dr. Turnipseed as- sisting him as a quarantine officer. One morning Dr. Turnipseed boarded a big ship from the Pa- cific Coast, went to the bridge and knocked tim- idly on the captain's door. "Come in," commanded a gruff voice. Turnipseed edged through the door and said apologetically, "I am Dr. Turnipseed." The reply was, "Well you haven't anything on me I'm Captain Garlic." -American Doctor's Odyssey. * * * * Education may be a rather botched job at times, and at present some may even think that it is doing more harm than good in the long run. But we find that when regulations can't be en- forced, when problems of intercourse become too complex to be controlled by an administrative body, that the way that the necessary rules and regulations and habits are formulated and held to among those needing such is by and through the process of education. You will never be able to force a nation not to drink, but you may be able to teach them to drink moderately or not at all. You may not be able to force them to regard certain sanitary and preventative measures, but you may be able to teach them these. You may not be able to force through a labor movement in one year, but you may be able to educate labor to the responsibilities and benefits to be gained from such. Education is an evolutionary process, not rev- olutionary, and necessarily so. As that is the way that seems to wreck less havoc, and seems to be the road to real and substantial progress. The tragedy of man is that he has develope an intelligence eager to uncover mysteries, but not strong enough to penetrate them. -Zinsser. Having trouble with a key the other day we started to wonder about the thousands of keys that had to be taken care of on the campus year in and out. So after a few inquiries we located a Mr. Bruch of the B. and G. department over in the storehouse back of the Health Service. We found him to be a blue-grey eyed individual, sandy haired, of a fairly sturdy build, and of average height, probably between 30 and 35 years of age, not married. Upon asking Bruch how he got into the bus- iness of keys and locks he informed us that his father was a contractor. Bruch therefore being naturally interested in building hardware along with the general contracting work drifted into the hardware business with a now extinct Ann Arbor hardware. This concern started to take care of the University keys and continued to do so for about eight or nine years, at which time the University decided to take care of their own keys. And what could be more natural than to ask the man who had done this service for them to continue it? (Probably lots of things). But anyway Bruch thereupon became a B. and G. man and remains so to this day. It seems that about 99 per cent of Bruch's work is with the cylinder type key. He modestly denied that he knew any more about bit locks than you or I. Now this cylinder type of lock is the ordinary flat type key lock with which we are all familiar. It seems that a little clylin- der fits into each lock and turns with the key when it is turned, if the key lifts all of the little plungers in the cylinder to the proper level. Most of the locks, cylinder type, are of the five plunger variety, which plungers may be varied five times, (Bruch claims to vary them 10 times is too close to allow for real wear) thereby giving a possible 3,125 variations for each "key way" or groove variation on the key itself. And these key ways may be varied by several dozen patterns. Therefore you multiply 3,125 by several dozen you receive the number of possible locks and keys. (Don't forget there are also six plunger types of cylinders, etc.) Furtherinformation; all keys are worked from an original grand master, most keys today are made by the American Hardware Association. All University keys have a seal on them and are not supposed to be duplicated by other lock- smiths, there is a very small loss of keys on the campus. One should use a dry lubricant on ordinary locks, loading and unloading the locks takes real skill, it being easier however to take the binges off the door or saw off the bolt, than it is to pick a lock. As a hobby man we find Bruch very active, even though he really is genuinely interested in the key business. He is now managing two soft ball teams in Ann Arbor Leagues, one of which is at the top of its league. They are both Elk teams, Bruch being an ardent member. It seems that he has played and umpired soft ball for sometime and now manages these teams. We were unable to ascertain which he lived to do best. Altobether then Bruch keeps pretty busy. He believes that hard work would solve a great many of the present day problems and asked us to write this down as much as possible. Which do you like best?
