Kansan Comments Doubts of Today May Decrease Chances of Peace for Tomorrow
The night before he died, President Roosevelt wrote, "The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. Let us move forward with strong and active faith." Every person who now is sick of war, who years for a guarantee of peace, must heed those words, for only those who are not in doubt as to what they want and who are determined to secure what they want ever bring into reality their goals.
For many idealistic individuals, the San Francisco conference has spelled failure. In less than one month they expected all immediate solution to the problem which has faced civilization since its beginnings—the problem of eliminating wars. They condemn and mistrust representatives at San Francisco, not stopping to consider that they themselves are equally responsible for the outcome of all plans made for peace.
The first step toward insuring success at San Francisco, is to be individually informed. Only by knowing what is taking place, how our nation stands with regard to other nations in the various issues involved, can we know whether our country is taking the right course of action. The United States must be faithful to its ideals and it must not accept a sham, undemocratic, international organisation which cannot prevent war. The people are the deciding factor. They still hold the reins on their representatives. Letters, votes, and polls will tell those representatives if they are following the wishes of those whom they represent.
We must not assume that peace cannot be won for our children and their succeeding generations. We must be determined as individuals that it shall be done. Instead of distrusting the actions of other countries which we do not understand, we must take time to investigate the reasons behind their actions so that we do understand. Perhaps we will discover that it was our country which was unfair.
Instead of turning our backs on San Francisco because its results seemingly have been inconsequential, we must individually take the responsibility of seeing that no mistakes are made this time. Doubting that this can be done is the shortest way to World War III—J.V.

Legislature Amends Kansas Burial Law
The recent Kansas legislature, passed an act relating to county coroners, the disposition of dead bodies, and expenses of burial, amending prior sections of the law.
The amended section states: "The coroner or his deputy shall cause the body of a deceased person, which he is called to view, to be delivered to the immediate family or the next of kin of the deceased, if any there be; but if not, he shall cause him to be decently buried, and the expenses to be paid from any property found with the body; or, if there be none, from the county treasury, by certifying an account of the expense, which, being presented to the board of county commissioners, shall be allowed by them if deemed reasonable, and paid as other claims of the county. Any coroner or his deputy who, over the protest of the immediate family or next of kin of the deceased, delivers or causes to be delivered the body of a deceased person to a particular undertaker or funeral establishment, shall be deemed guilty of a me demeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be fined not more than $1,000 and upon conviction shall forfeit his office.

Cooled by Isolation is Wanda Faucett, who discreetly sat for 20 minutes in house coat and curlers, marooned in the DG phone booth, while waiting for male visitors to stop roamin' in the gloamin'. She got out by calling the D.G. phone girl on another line. Please, would she request the fellas to turn their backs for a minute, Faucett frantically asked? She would.

Kappoohed Out. Complaining of the rain, Sally Krebihiel remarked that she didn't have a rainacoat, and had to slosh through the weather to get to a quiz next hour. Quote Sally: "I don't even know the back stroke."
Then Faucett crept out of the booth, clutching the only available camouflage (a mop), and dashed across no man's land. We won't say they peeked, but as she mounted the stairs she heard a long, low whistle, followed by loud applause.

Sleep? What's the That?—Health of the Family classes were happy to hear Monday that they would practice making beds containing an occupant. Only trouble: everyone raced to be the patient. Overheard from one drowsy dozer: "Ohhhhhh, it's so comfortable. Please let me stay a little longer!"
Truman Asks for Executive Power
Eleanor Churchill, puzzled, asked,
"Are you taking a swimming test?"
"No," replied Sally, "but I have to

Truman asks for Executive Power Washington, (INS) — Pres. Truman today asked congress for permanent authority to make changes in the executive branch of the government to make it "more business-like and efficient."

Every two years the ballots go to all the editors in the state and they are asked to say if they have yet reached the 25-year mark. If so, their returned ballots are counted in the election. Otherwise, they become nomination ballots.
Each year the department of journalism sends to club members a ballot containing the names of Kansas writers who have died during the third year preceding, plus the names of some 15 or more who died earlier and who each year have received several votes for the hall of fame.
Some years the editors have elected only one, other years two or three to the hall of fame.
And then there's the innocent bystander who said, as he watched a sorority girl jump out the window with a thermometer in her mouth, "Ye Gods! The temperature is falling by Dee Gees!"
