This Week \___In Washington In this respect, we may well ask ourselves whether we are really proâ€" pared. Is not the present condition of our national budget an important factor in our national defense? Every patriotic American is willing to make whatever sacrifices prove necessary to raise the revenue to pay for the defense program. It was heartening to legrn this week that the Congress will not adjourn withâ€" out first enacting a tax bill to meet these increased costs. But it can hardly be said that this one tax bill will put our government finances in a state of adequate defense. Finanâ€" cial preparedness is just as imporâ€" tant as military preparedness. That we have been somewhat negâ€" ligent in the last several years while Hitler was building his war machine is hardly to be denied. England and France were negligent and today are paying a heavy price. The Allies lost time which can never be recaptured. The United States has lost time, but Congress is now hastening to act before it is altoâ€" gether too late. National defense, however, inâ€" ‘s more than the number of men under arms and in reserve. It inâ€" volves more than the size and naâ€" ture of the fleet and the air force. When we think of national defense, of being prepared, we must get in the habit of thinking of more than men and equipment. We must think of our ability to finance a war. We must think of the cost of producing and maintaining armed forces. More than that, we must think of the strain on an economic system to conâ€" duct a war over a period of time. And, more than that, we must think of the strain on an economic system when the war ends, when men are demobilized and return to their homes, when industrial production keyed to war production slows down and we find it necessary to adjust ourselves to normal conditions. Our present national deficit apâ€" proximates $45 billion. We must add to this amount the loans and collaâ€" teral obligations which constitute a part of our public debt obligation until repaid. And we must add to this the extraordinary defense proâ€" gram for which Congress is making and all manner of equipment used in modern warfare, It is important that we have a trained personnel, in service and in reserve, ready to make the supreme sacrifice if the eccasion should arise when we must defend the country from aggression. It is important that we have on hand all necessary equipment and that this equipment be the most efâ€" takes more than mere appropriaâ€" tions of money by Congress. It takes industrial adjustment and coordinaâ€" fective obtainable Men cannot be trained in a day, a week or a month. A battleship takes around 3 years to build.

Perry." This is a privately owned "Windâ€"Jammer" which is beâ€" ing offered to Sea Scouts as an opportunity for practical experience on an old time sailing vessel. There will be five cruises this year, each of which will last for two weeks. Cruises starting June 22nd and finishing up with the last cruise on August 17th. All Sea Scouts who are interested are to contact their Skipper regarding apâ€" plications and other information. classes and music by the orchestra. This will be the second year this ship has been made available to the Sea Scouts and many have availed themselves of the opportunity last year. This ship has been completely gone over and additional equipment added such as a ship to shore comâ€" munication, extra life boats and reâ€" modeling of the quarters to conâ€" form with the National Government Ship regulations. There will be a captain and skeleâ€" ton crew in charge of the ship at all times with the Sea Scouts and officers to complete the crew. The captain and skeleton crew have had many years of sailing on the Great Lakes and also experience in sailâ€" ing with Sea Scouts. Children‘s Day at First U. E. Church The annual Children‘s Day servâ€" ice will be held next Sunddy mornâ€" ing at the First United Evangelical church, Green Bay and Laurel Ave. The Sunday school and morning worship service will be combined and begin at 10 o‘clock. The program will be given by the Primary and Junior departments For the convenience of air travelâ€" ers living on Chicago‘s North Shore anti at points like Waukegan and Racine, United Air Lines is estabâ€" lishing its shuttle service from the Curtissâ€"Reynolds Airport at Glenâ€" view on a regular basis, it is anâ€" nounced by R. F. Ahrens, regional traffic manager for United in Chiâ€" cago. "A passenger coming from New York, for instance, simply steps out of his plane at the Municipal Airâ€" port, boards the waiting shuttle plane and flies immediately to Curâ€" tissâ€"Reynolds," said Ahrens. Sea Scouts to Sail "Oliver H. Perry" Again This Year Even assuming we had the most efficient defense in men and equipâ€" ment, it cannot be said that our deâ€" fense is adequate, that it is impregâ€" nable, until we place our fiscal sysâ€" tem on a sound basis. That involves not only the levying of new taxes to pay for new armaments. It also involves a reduction in expenditures for other purposes. It involves delibâ€" erate efforts for a balanced budget. Let it be rememberedâ€"financial preparedness is as important as milâ€" itary preparedness. United Air Lines Establish Shuttle Service to Glenview "Planes will leave the Curtissâ€" Reynolds Airport 30 minutes before departure of the Maine Line flight from the Chicagoâ€"Municipal Airâ€" port," said Ahrens. "This service is being put on a regular basis beâ€" cause of the great number of air travelers residing on the North Shore and to enable them to save an hour or more in time." Because the airport at Glenview is unlighted the shuttle service from Curtissâ€"Reynolds to the Municipal Airport operates only during the daylight, Ahrens said. Ahrens also said similar shuttle service is being operated in connection with flights arriving in Chicago, have not had, and now we are conâ€" mmuflw ness. hibn‘-ul:z:hnvnk& President spoke money which hnd been spent for the army and navy during the last seven years.

Refinement The writer has been active in the cemetery busiâ€" ness for more than 25 years, but never has he given assurance to any person that a plain concrete vault is waterâ€"resisting. It is well know that it will not exelude water. As both wooden and steel boxes have been barred from NORTHSHORE GARDEN OF MEMORIES for several years, and from a few other cemeteries for a short time, because they are neither permanent nor waterproof in the ground, and as the fact that simple concrete vaults are not waterproof has become well known, a vault which is composed partially of concrete and partially of asphalt has been in use for two or three years. It is a scientific fact that specially prepared asphalt is not poreus and, hence, is absolutely waterâ€"resisting when properiy prepared and applied to concrete; and, also, is everâ€" lasting. This combinatio®n unites strength, perpetual durability, and waterâ€"resisting qualities. That is a werbal picture of the WESTERN WATERPROOF TOMB! A STEP IN ADVANCE. However, a very thin lining of asphait on the inâ€" ner side of a concrete vault, fastened only by the use of ordinary kerosene cil is not considered a permanent fixture there. The president of the comtpany which makes the only other burial vault composed of a comâ€" bination of asphait and concrete told the writer of this statement in his office that the only means he had of fustening the asphalt on the inside is by the use Something New in the World in Burial Tombs A new everlasting and waterâ€"resisting burial tomb is now in use in NORTHSHORE GARDEN OF MEMâ€" ORIES, and will be in other cemeteries in the near future. It will not bave concrete on the outside and asphalt on the inside, but will be of massive and reâ€" inforced concrete, heavily covered with a specially prepared and patented preparation of PURE ASPHALT. It is true that wellâ€"made concrete will last indefinitely when placed below the frost line in thogmnd,butdlmbmndhme, water will penetrate it. It is a matter of simple eleâ€" mentary knowledge that all ground, except in deserts, is annually saturated with water at least for short periods of time. Good drainage will prevent water from staying in the ground above the drains for more than a few hours at a time, but many burial places are not drained at all, and water in contact with any porous substance, even for a short time, will penetrate that material. erush . . . on hthorh;xfia;:,i; looks like from this vantage point . . .

The cars have bucked deep snowdrifts, climbed steep mountain ranges, pulled 20 Miles Per Gallon In Economy Test lon; the best so far being 22.2 miles and the lowest 20.15 miles. This uniform performance under widely different conditions is made all the more remarkable by the fact that 10 different cars were used with 10 difâ€" fornt drivers at the wheel, each operating his car in his own way. This indicates that the excellent gasoline mileage was due to the deâ€" sign of the car itself rather than expert handling by any individual.

There are many times one thousand pores in the sides, ends, bottom and cover of a concrete grave vault and therefore, it will require only a short time for a concrete vault, lined with asphalt, to be filled with water after a sufficient volâ€" ume of water accumulates between the concrete wall and the asphalt lining to cause a serious buiging (like a water blister on one‘s hand) and then to force a perience in concrete work, also in various uses for asphalt and in many phases of waterproofing, assert that it has been proven that water which will surely penetrate the concrete wall will inevitably push against and separate the thin layer of asphalt from the inner side of the concrete walls of the vault. It is only reasonable that such a result should be exâ€" perienced, as there is certainly nothing permanent in the adherence of such a lining to a concrete wall by the simple action of plain kerosene or any other kind of oil or greasy substance. Suppose a pore in the concrete wall of a grave is only oneâ€"hundredth the of kerosene oil.
