A SOFT ANSWER tive communities on the South Shore. The Civic Pride Campaign is more than a Clean-Up and Paint-Up Week mithough it embraces the objects of such a drive. The Civic Pride Cam- paign includes the improvement of sanitary ¥onditions, whether obvious or not, and the removal of all fire hazards, whether unsightly or not. It sponsors spring cleaning in the home, on private ground and by en- tire communities. It fosters every- thing that can be done to improve the beauty of the South Shore, enhance Its sanitary conditions and increase safety and comfort. This movement is worthy of the support of every individual who lives in the territory covered by the Nassau Daily Review. Especially is ft adapt- mble to all organizations which pur- port to stand back of progressive com- munity enterprises. We hope to receive full co-operation frem civic, benevolent and patriotis societies. We expect to be aided in premoting this cause by the women's elubs, men's fraternal organizations, the business men's luncheon clubs, the village chambers of commerce and business men's associations, villige boards, mayors and departments of public works and streets. The subject is an appropriate one for the ministers to preach upon, since the function of the minister is to in- sul into his congregation and com- munity the principles and the prac- tice of cleanliness and morality, as well Boy Girls, is to be enlisted in the work, wherever an opportunity presents it- self from them to benefit their com- munity. © Springtime is the season cf the year When we think of renovation. The housewife begins to talk of house ¢leaning. 'The collections of the win- ter are disposed of, Nooks and cor- ners are cleaned out thoroughly. The man. of the house should get the in- spiration and get busy out in the yard Old tin cans and the ash piles can b> hauled away, if the village collectors have missed any. The yards should be raked and the dead grass burned. Perhaps the garage should have a cont or two of paint. © Endeavors of this sort should be extended into the business districts of | the towns, to the school and church yards and the railroad stations.

The mayor is too much of a gen- tleman to question a lady's word, even when she accuses him of \inefficlency carelessness, indifference and bung- ling.\ ___ #0000, \Mrs. Pratt is a very lovely womap; it was kind of her to give out the statement,\ the . dapper . executive commented when told of the attack upon his administrative ability. Under such conditions how can Mrs. Pratt go on. Certainly she will not dare assail the mayors. judgment after this. With Mayor Walker the incident is closed. Mrs. Pratt cannot take up where she left off. If her attack continues she must begin all over again. If this example were followed by other public men a lot of ussless harangue Which leads nowhere could be avoided. Somewhere we ran across an axiom which has stuck m‘eyur memory. It goes like this; \Never explain. Your don't need and won't believe you anyway.\ Perhaps Jimmy Walker has run across it too. | SWEARING THE WITNESS News came this week that the Na- tional Assembly at Angora has unan!- mously passed a bill amending the constitution of the Turkish Republic by omitting gl “(annuity ligion in the original ifrticles that slam is the religion of the Republic. Instead of swearing before God, the deputies hereafter will swear upon their honor. ~ If we might comment upon the change in the method of swearing the deputies without being misunder- stood, we would say that it is a ra- tional step. The oath of office administered to the deputies very likely is much more impressive than inaugurations in America, since the East and the Orient dwell upon pomp and cere- mony. Everybody is familiar with the half- hearted manner in which witnesses in the American courts are sworn \to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God.\ 'The oath originated in the days when people were impressed by its solemnity and many of them superstitious enough to believe they would be struck dead if they testified falsely. 1 We are not shocked at Oving epi- thets.
