ALL WELFARE APPEALSIN COMMUNITY DRIVE

Until last year each communityphilanthropy in Winter Park—theWelfare Association, Health Cen-ter, White and Colored Day Nurs-eries, Boy and Girl Scouts, etc.—held its own campaign for funds.In 1944 these groups pooled theirinterests and effort for a jointdrive. A similar cooperative planis being followed this year in theCommunity Fund drive, February9 to 19.

Each of eight organizations rep-resented in this Community Funddrive submitted a conservative es-timate of funds needed to carry onits work this year. These estimateswere checked by the bridget com-mittee and in some cases lowered.The $10,140 total represents themaintenance cost of the organiza-tions.

"No one wants to go back to theold way of numerous separatedrives for funds," says W. E. Win-derweedle, chairman. "But unlesswe can raise this amount in a com-bined drive we'll have to go back tothe old plan.

ANTI-NAZI GERMAN TOSPEAK HERE TONIGHT

Tonight Winter Park will havean opportunity to hear a g-enuineanti-Nazi German.

ECONOMIC CONFERENCEThe tenth annual Economic Con-

ference of Rollins College broughtonce more a distinguished array ofable speakers to Winter Park, theiraddresses dealing •with planningfor peace and security in the world,international trade and the futureof business. The climax of the con-ference was a panel discussion on"The Outcome of the DumbartonOaks Proposals." Anticipated bysome as a likely sensation, Boi'isShiskin, economist for the A. F. L.,proved not unduly exciting, as hepredicted a serious problem of un-employment after the war—not anew idea by any means.

Dr. Holt was unable to stir upmuch discussion from the floor fol-lowing the speakers on the Dum-barton Oaks proposals. It was dis-appointing that the public not onlyfailed to attend as it should andthose who were there seemed to beapethetic. Many students were inthe audience and one of them askedthe pertinent question: "Which, arethe peace-loving nations?"

Winter Park • Topics would liketo see a mass meeting, for whichthe public should be prepared inadvance so that a large audienceof citizens would come tog'etherand find out what the DumbartonOaks proposals mean to them andtheir families.

It might have been illuminatingto ask the axidience at the AnnieRussell to show by hands howmany favored the proposals, howmany were ag'ainst, also why theywere for and why against. Wemust not be. ashamed to admit ifwe do not know, but we should beashamed to admit that we are nottring to find out what is going tobe the future of our country,

MARBURG'S VIEWS ONDUMBARTON OAKS PLAN

The Hon. Theodore Marburg, for-mer Ambassador to Belgium, whospent last winter at the Hotel Ala-bama, and of whose knowledge ofthe peace movement Mr. AlbertShaw of this town, speaks sohighly in his book, "InternationalBearings of American Policy," hassent to a friend in Winter Parkhis ideas on the Dumbarton Oaksproposals, with permission to placein the Topics. Mr. Marburg, whowas one of the initiators of theLeague to Enforce Peace, feels theDumbarton Oaks proposals willmeet with obstruction from certainquarters but avers that the prob-lem of devising a sound plan is asimple one. To quote:

"In 1923 Geneva framed the'treaty of mutual assistance.' Thi |was perfected the following year asthe 'Geneva Protocol,' and adoptedunanimously by all the states rep-resented. It obligates the membersof the league to use force forth-with to punish the aggressor, theplan of the old American League toEnforce Peace. The Geneva Proto-col was adopted by the League ofNations while the labor govern-ment was in the saddle in GreatBritain (1924). When the Conserv-

atives turned out McDonald (LaborPrime Minister), Austin Chamber-lain promptly shelved the meas-ure."

Here one sees that Mr. Mar-burg is agreeing with GeneralSmuts' more recent utterance thatpeace without force is a dream.

Mr. Marburg continues, "We al-ready have close cooperation withthe English-speaking people. Allthat is needed is to preserve thatunion after the war, preferably inthe form of actual federation, andsupplement it by a revived Leagueof Nations fortified with the Gen-eva Protocol of 1924."

In this statement it will be seenthat Mr. Marburg is trying to sim-plify the action needed. He woiildunite the vast English-speakingpeople because that is the mosteasily-taken first step, and thena t t a c h this federation to theLeague of Nations as it decided tobe under the Geneva Protocol of1024, placing force behind it, "Thevery serious defect," he writes, "ofthe Dumbarton Oaks conference,is the failure to provide that thevote of the state that is accused ofaggression shall not operate toveto a resolution of the governingbody." Thus Mr. Marburg.

We are, of course, in a mechan-ical revolution that has shrunk theglobe and thus made further isola-tion impossible, no matter howmuch we may wish it. How tocompose the nationalisms of theworld, all entrenched in fanaticaldifferences, into a working wholeis the problem. The hope is thatit has been done before, in smallerways, of course. Anyone wishingto see the process in action has butto turn to his Old Testament. Therewe see the history of a people pass-ing from a nomadic background inthe desert to an agricultural, sta-tionery background in the hills andvalleys of Canaan. The first needwas larger federation and they gotit in the 12 tribes of Israel. But itcould not work until they got a

higher, less brutal, less dissoluteethical routine. That the prophetsscorched into them namely, the TenCommandments. It was a processof centuries.

Interdependence has got to be-come the god that independenceformerly was, says the Frenchman,Francis Delaisi. But to make aUnited Nations work means whatDr. Carrel called "the renovatedman," communal and self-discip-lined, bending to a wider, morepersonally exacting code of mor-ality than the excessye urbaniza-tion of today is preaching.

Says John Donne, the poet,"unless above himself he canerect himself, how poor a thing isman."These erections have taken place

many times. History teaches us tobelieve a spherical erection sup-ported by a higher ethical routinemay yet be achieved. DumbartonOaks is a landmark along the way.

Hagen was born in Austria andeducated at the University ofVienna. As a young officer inWorld War I, he refused to con-tinue in service because he was op-posed to the aims of the HapsburgEmperor and Kaiser Wilhelm. Asa newspaper editor in Germany,Hagen watched the rise of theNazis, and in 1932 helped to foundsmall anti-Nazi groups to functionunderground after Hitler tookpower. Forced to flee Germany toescape the Gestapo in 1934, he setup headquarters near the borderin Prague, and made repeated il-legal journeys into Germany atgreat personal risk to help col-leagues in the underground resist-ance movement. Visiting Englandand the United States, he urgedpeople in those countries to actagainst Hitler. He has been in theUnited States since 1940 becausethe war cut off contacts with un-derground Germany. Ilagen haswritten and spoken co_nstajitly onGerman conditions. Two of hismost recent books are: "Will Ger-many Crack?", published by Har-pers, 1942, and "Germany AfterHitler," Farrer & Rinehart, 1944.

Elmer Davis, in a preface to theformer book, stated: "Paul Hagenhas the rare virtue of never lettinghis hopes run away with his judg-ment, of. never confusing what hewould like to see with what is ac-tually there."

Hagen has played an importantpart in setting up the Council forDemocratic Germany.

THAT THE PEOPLE MAY KNOWWhy they should give to the

WINTER PARK COMMUNITY FUNDFOR 1945

1. Our WELFARE ASSOCIATION: Why should there be a drive for funds for the poor and unfortu-nate in Winter Park with everyone working at fabulous wages? In the low wage group are always thosewho are only able to keep ahead of their cost of living by the margin of but a few days, or weeks at most.An illness of the husband or wife often places them in actual want.

There are many cases where the mother is the bread winner and she has children too small to leave, sothat she can to go to work only part time, if at all. Widows, elderly people, who have broken in health, and ar'estill too young to receive old age benefits; folks who do seasonal work in the citrus and other industrieswho close down from time to time, need our help.

In a town growing such as Winter Park has done in the past few years, when every house is full' andrunning over and people pleading for a place to live, there are always a percentage who need help and musthave it. • •

Over half our funds are for this class, and 100% of the money collected goes for food, medicine andshelter. We need $6,000 to carry us a year.

2. Can anyone say we do not need money to support our White and Colored Day Nurseries? Take alittle time off some day and investigate these two fine groups and see how busy they are caring for the youngchildren so that the mothers can go out and work. This takes $1,600 of our budget.

3. Our Health Center: This includes pre-natal care, immunization of school children, and the venerealdisease clinic. The health of the-whole community depends upon the health of each neighborhood. $550is needed for maintenance.

4. Our High School and Grammar School Food and Health Program is under the supervision of theParent-Teachers Association to provide undernourishedchildren (after investigation) with free lunches. $190takes care of this.

5. Our Boy and Girl Scouts: Too many of us parents are too busy or do not know how to give suchtraining to young people, although they need guidance if they are to take their places as the leaders of thisnation. $l;800 is needed to finance these important organizations.

How can this work be carried on? We be-lieve a combined drive for all of these groupsis the best plan. Last year a considerable num-ber of donors gave to the combined drive justthe same amount as they had hitherto given tothe Welfare alone in 1943 and previous years.WHEN WE COMBINE OUR NEEDS IN ONEDRIVE WE MUST HAVE DOUBLE WHATSOME GAVE LAST YEAR. In the combinedcanvas last year we raised over $9,000, — apart of which went to the National War Fund.

This year we are asking for $10,140, whichis not too large a request for all the groups

working for the underprivileged and our Scouts.It can easily be done if each one will sit downand methodically go over this list, designatingso much to each cause anH making their checkaccordingly. Unless our combined drive is asuccess, we will be forced to go back to the oldplan of making six to eight canvasses for funds,and taking the time and effort of many people.This way we will save solicitor's time andexpense in collecting as well as saving the timeand possible annoyance to donors in being ap-proached many times to give to each of thesegood causes.

This advertisement is sponsored by the following business men and at no expense to any of the groupsreceiving funds from the Winter Park Community Fund.
