And in problems of Leninism,
Generalissimo Stalin said ap
provingly :
Dictatorship means nothing
mure or less than the power
which directly rests on violence
which is not limited by any laws
or restricted by any absolute
rules.
1 In 1945 we hail been warned
by 10 Catholic bishops and arcli
biships to be constantly on guard
against the dangers of Marxian
• totalitarianism, on which Russ
ian communism is based. We
were told:
To reckon with t e active, clev
erly organized and directed op
position of Marxian totalitarian
ism to genuine democracy. This
system herds the masses under
dictatorial leadership, insults th
eir intelligence with its propa
ganda and controlled press, and
tyrannically violates innate hu
man rights. Against it, democ
racy must he constantly on gu
ard, quick to detect and pene
trate its camouflage.
• Several months later, Louis
F. FUtdenz, who left the Cotnniun
; ist Party ol' America, in which
ho was a leader, to rejoin the
Roman Catholic Church, said
that communism destroyed the
‘‘thinking and integrity of the
i individual," that it was "irrevo
j eahly set up for the ending of
; religion," and that, it had culti
vated "lust for power." lie said
i "Communist arrogance, with
which tin' world is now familiar,
arises out of this destructive
viewpoint."

Everything may be going up

is going down. In 1947, there
28,485 divorces in Los Angeles
county which is less than the
1946 figure by over 7,000. Mar
riages totalled 38.792 last year.

21 years ago—There seems to be
no rest for 1he “Old Ironsides”

is at three-thirty, breakfast at
four and ready to start work at
[sunrise. Gilda Gray will receive
SI7,000 per week for a 14-week
tour with her new film. “The
Devil Dancer.” Lois Wilson, and
not Lilyan Tashman, plays the
vampire role in “rFench Dress
ing.” Paramount plans to film
“The Traveling Salesman” with
Richard Di\ in the lead role. .
Fatty Arbuckle played the lead
in this very same story in 1921.
Mai St. Clair, who has a flair
for comedy, will do “The Cross
Eyed Captain” for Famous Play
ers. Ben Turpin will not be in
the cast. Close friends believe
that it was the strain of his last
location trip that caused the
death of Rudolph Valentino last
year. . .Rudy worked under a
boiling sun in the desert with
the thermometer hitting close to
130 degrees.

WARNNG TO MOTORISTS
•
The Police Department would
like to call attention to the slip
pery and dangerous condition of
the streets at this time of the
year and to call attention again
to speed limits in the City of
Seward.
In the school area the speed
limit is twelve, (12> miles per
hour. The speed limit at all in
tersections is also twelve, tl2>
miles per hour. Nowhere in the
City does the speed limit exceed
twenty. <20> miles per hour. The
speed limit is based on the best
of road conditions, and under
present road conditions, motorists
could be charged with reckless
driving even though traveling
under the speed limit, if condi
tions warrant slower driving,
i The police department will no
longer issue warning tickets on
violations of speeding ro reckless
driving ordinances, but will be
summoned into Police Court. Wo
hope the motorist will cooperate
with us in making the streets
safe for all concerned.
Leonard Clark,
Chief of Police.

P.T.A. MEETING HELD
AT HIGH SCHOOL
•
P.T.A. meeting was held Jan.
Pith in the High School Auditor
ium.
The main purpose of the meet
ing was the High School’s need
for a first class library.
In order to hold their standing
as an accredited high school,
they have to have a good many
books.
As the meetings have very few
members present, it is a very
difficult .iub to help the school
raise the necessary money.
Those who are members are
urged to attend this next meet
ing. If you are not a member,
come and join.
A member of the Fire Depart
ment was present, asking about
fire drills. Mr. Carlson said the
building was cleared in a minute
and a half, and with a few more
drills they will clear the build
ing in half that time.
Names were put in a box for
the door prize. A beautiful throe
layer white cake was won byr
Mr. Blue.
Refreshments were served by
tin* fourth grade mothers, and
Mr. Blue served his cake.
A big party of some kind is
being planned. Like to know
what it is? Come to the next
P.T.A. meeting.
