TIES WITH OLD WORLD DESTROY ||
FANTASY OF U. S. "ISOLATION
3 Although the lights in our town blaze cheerily after dark and house-
wives’ purchases are limited only by their purses the chill fingers of war,
reaching across more than 3,000
miles of water and snow-blanketed
earth, touches some one of us almost daily.
Blackouts and ration cards are
unknown here, but the lives of hun-
dreds of men and women are tangled in Europe’s war, blasting the U. S.
fantasy of ‘‘isolation’”. The world is
too small today for even a little
community like Dallas to remain
aloof from war on another conti-
nent.
This is more true, perhaps, in
America than anywhere else, be-
cause every citizen, except he be
an Indian, is a descendant of an im-
migrant, and most of the popula-
tion can trace its ancestry to the
European nations involved in the
present war.
So, when a submarine slips into
Scapa Flow and sinks the Royal
Oak, it is not surprising that there
happened to be on board a nephew
of a Dallas man. The news of the
25-year-old youth reaches the home
of his uncle, David Richards, Leh-
man Street, Dallas, and the war
comes nearer to our town.
Scores of other incidents deny
the wish that we can remain aloof
from the war—the English papers
which Humphrey Owens’ relatives
mail to him regularly and which he
always brings to The Post when he
has finished with them—the people
who met a gentle Scots woman
when she was here last Fall visit-
ing her son, Robert King of Trucks-
ville, and who wonder often about
her since she returned to her home
near Glasgow.
Hundreds of others, good citizens
all, have fond ties with England—
George Gregson, Peter D. Clark,
Mrs. Lewis Furneaux—to name a
few and others, such as Miss Arline
Frantz, son of Mr. and Mrs. John
Frantz and who was one of the
Americans who were in England
when hostilities began, and saw
the first feverish preparations for
protection of civilians from air at-
tack.
The ties are not all on the side
of the allies. At least one former
resident, Michael Fieger of Hillside,
is living now not far behind the
Siegfried line in Germany.
But the war reaches many more
than those who have family ties in
Europe. For a month, volunteer
seamstresses from the Dallas section
have been sewing garments which
are being sent to civilian Finns.
Since last September, Wyoming Val-
ley Chapter, American Red Cross,
which started the local sewing unit,
has been making garments, band-
ages and hospital material for ref-
ugees from the European War. In
December, 581 garments, valued at
‘over $1,500, were shipped to Europe
from ‘the groups which have been
meeting each we x to Sew.

The necessity for co-operation be-
tween school and home in guiding
the child, not only toward a vo-
cation but toward a happy, success-
ful life, was emphasized by Ken-
neth Terry, supervising principal of
Clark’s Summit schools, before Leh-

Mr. Terry, a former teacher and

[to have confidence in their chil-

| dence will be reflected in the child's
