Halloween Parade
Club Revives Event
. Omitted Last Year;
Sect. Tlnsley Heard
After a lapse of a year, the
Frecport Kiwanis Cfub plans to
again sponsor a Hallowe'en pa-rade,
(or the children of the vil-lage.
The decision was reached
by the Board of Directors at its
last meeting. As Hallowe'en falls
on. Sunday this year the com-mittee
in charge will have to
decide when the procession will
be held.
Timothy W. Tinsley, State
secretary, addressed the club at
its Weekly dinner. He emphasiz-ed
the fact that despite the war
Kiwanis had carried on its reg-ular
activities and taken on oth-ers.
He said that clubs in Can-ada
and the United States spent
$970,000 last year in their work
for under - privileged children,
500,000 of whom were reached.
He added Kiwanians had pur-chased
$50,000,000 in bonds and
stamps, that 500,000 service men

Proposed to Curb Germany
Rotary Hears Police,
freedom Won't Work
Contending that any plan to
police Germany or to establish
a democracy after the war is
doomed to failure, Dr. Harry
VanWalt, who fled from Hol-land
when the Nazis entered be-cause
he was on Hitler's black-list,
suggested means of controll-ing
the economic life of the
country i^* an address to the
Frccport Rotary Club following
its weekly dinner in the Elks
club house Thursday night*
' He proposed the establish-ment
of an international com-mission
to which all industries
would have to apply before they
could import any commodity.
Before this permission was gran-ted,
Dr. VanWalt said, it would
be necessary for the applicant
to satisfy the commission it was
for some legitimate enterprise
and would not be used for the
development of armament.
Another idea, along the same
hacTbeen contacted and 10,000 line, which he said had been

the armed forces, and 5,000 hat
been blood donors.
Mr. Tinsley said because i
had been necessary to omit the
international convention which
was to have been held in Chi-cago,
there should be a large
tendance at the state convention
m the Hotel McAIpin on Friday
and Saturday, Oct. 15 and 16.

suggested to Vice-Pres. Henry
don, Holland's ambassador to
the United States, calls for the
establishment of an internation-al
bank. If this plan were car-ried
out, all German industries,
railroads and other concerns
would have to deposit a large
portion of their profits in the
bank. These funds would be di-vided
proportionately among the
various United Nations.
"In this way," Dr. VanWalt
remarked, "the United States
might get back some of its lend-leasc
funds/'
impossible to prevent acts of sa~
botage in these small countries.
Consequently* he asserted, it
would take a force of 10,000,000
men to police Germany not for
months or a few years,*but for
decades.
Dr. VanWalt refused to agree
with those who expect Germany
(o be defeated either this year
or next. He said that in the
last war the Germans occupied
only a portion of France, where-as
they now occupy practically
all of Europe, he said the peo-ple
revolted in 1918 and brought
on the overthrow of the Kaiser.
Hitler has made sure this will
not happen- again, he continued,
and has men armed with ma-chine
guns stationed at strategic
points in every city. And the
people themselves, realizing what
they will have to face, will not
give up, he contended. However,
he predicted eventual victory Tor
the Allies, and warned that they
musfnot let pity enter the pic-ture.
He expressed fear that .the war
would be followed by an up-heavat-
of^nationalism—when—what,
is wanted is internationalism.
"When the war is over instead
of extending the right hand to
the Nazis/' Dr. VanWalt declar-ed,
"we must extend the left
hand, as we hold a whip in the
right, and we must use it.".
He briefly described condi-tions
in Holland saying that 78
percent of the people were starv-ing,
and 35 percent have con-tageous
diseases because they
have lost rcsistcnce to disease.
He warned of the presence of
the Gestapo and fifth columnists

But it seemed that they had scarcely shaken all the rice out of
their clothes before his furlough was over and it was back to
the army camp for Bill and a job in a war plant for Sally. Like
many another young couple they have a wonderful life planned

furniture of distinguished character and dependable worth,
Sally planned to "make" her home with WILllAMS, taking
advantage of the advice offered by their experienced sales peo-ple.
Of course, she won't get everything now, but she will
collect a few worthwhile pieces as a start, and the war bonds
she is accumulating will do the rest.

ration books, and that service men home on furlough

ber II, as Mr, Peterson and Mra!
Scott believe that if the cam-paign
can get off to a quick start,
the village will have little trouble
attaining its quota, espepcially
with the momentum the Free-
)ort-at-War exhibition is expect-ed
to give the drive.
In a letter to the wardens, -Mr.
Gcrber says:
"You have been selected as a
volunteer solicitor for the Third
War Loan drive, and as such
you will represent the War Fin*
ance Committee of the Treasury
Department. You will be calling
on other patriotic Americans on
vital business for the United
States Government.
"Equipping our t] soldiers and
other war-expenditures is now
costing, .about $2 daily for every
man, woman- and^ohild in this
country. Increased taxes -will pro-vide—
one-third of this^amount,-^*""
The . balance musT "be Braised
through the_salc. of bonds. That's
where you come in!
"Frecport's quota is $1,000,000.
This means reaching every home
in Freeport, with our slogan
'BACK THE ATTACK — BUY
AN EXTRA BOND IN FREE-PORT
— THE MOST YOU
CAN BUY IS THE LEAST
YOU CAN PO,'
"Carry this slogan to your
neighbors. I feel confident they
will cooperate and put Frceport
'over the top.'"
Mrs. Scott has called attention
to the fact that residents of the
village will have to attain the
quota without assistance of com-mercial
banks, which are barred
from purchasing bonds in this
drive. Further, she said, bonds
purchased by Freeport workers *
in defense plants are not likely
to be credited to the local quota,
thus making it more difficult to
reach the million mark.
