Ill'l'  hu>band,  whose  hdin '   was  in

Methodist Epi.scopal Church.    They
met on boat enroute lo the mission
field and were married a year later
while  Mr,.  Have,    was    attending
' school in Nanking.
I     The   first   year   Rev.   Hayes   was
' superintendent  of   the   ho.spi'.al   at
Wuhu.    Mrs   Hayes did evangelistic
work  aniong  tlie  women  and chil-
I dren of the province.   They are in
charge of missionary work in Wuhu
district.
They had a mo-t interesting trip home, leaving Wuhu, May 29th and sailing   iliTi ugh  the  Indian   Ocean ", and   Red   Sea, enroute  to   Europe. ' They  visited  the   land  of   the  Nile and Jerusalem, croised Europe and sailed on the 3. S. Europa at Bre¬ men, August 16th.   Both their chil¬ dren were born in China and this I is Lois Anne's Hrst visit to America , The little girl was given the name 1 Anne, said her mother, for a "lovely I woman ', Anne Lindbergh,   Col. and , Mrs.   Lindbergh   visited   Rev.   and , Mrs.  Hayes  at the mission station I just a month before Lois Anne was I born.
Al the way over on the boat Loi^ I Ann,' wondered where America was "Is this America? " «he would ask tune and time again. At four o'coek in the inorning before thoy landed she woke up and asked "Aren't wi' lien-  America?"
When they arrived in New York and the little girls saw the Tuge apartment houses her eyes widened in amazeim nt as she said "Mumniie, look! look at all the ho.spitals!" Her idea of a large building was a hos¬ pital in her limited experience In China. Both children speak Chinese. Mrs. Hayes will relate tales of horror as well as pleasant exper¬ iences in the mission flUd at the r.'¬ gular services of St. Johns Reform¬ ed Church this Sunday morning at 10:30 o'clock. Her many local friends will be glad to greet her.

GOVERNMENT'S STRUCTURAL SHOULD BE DRAWN IN
Three-Fold Division of Authority Into .ludicial. Exec-

'Check And Balance' Theory Has Faults

Executive, Judicial and LoRislative Branches Out¬ dated; Duplication of Tax Offices Is Hardship on Citizens; Squire System Beyond Reach
STRUCTURAL FORMS OF GOVERNMENT
Next to the statement of the underlying philoso()hy of government and limitations upon the activities of government attempted by the Bill of Rights, the Constitution has no more important function than to outline the main structural fonns of government.
The United States Constitution and those of several states recognize the three-fold division between the Legislative. Exec¬ utive and Judicial branches of government. Originating cen¬ turies ago in England it ha.s become*	
an intrinsic part of all our thinking on such matters until   we find    it
being fidlowed in  principle  in even
many of the municipal .sub-divisions and   smaller Rovernment   iniits
i>lation a.s a check to rash legisla¬ tion, the Legislature's right by two tlnrds majority to override the veto
as a means of counteracting lh»' ar Imrary conduct of the executive With this theorv of the lhre«'-fold when the public will is sufficiently ilivlsion of |K>w'er has grown the ;u-ou.sed and determined, and the nirelated theory of 'check-, and bal- Judiclarys check, by tho exercise of ances." Thts Is mosl easily Illu.s- the rl«hl to pas.s upon the con.stllu- traled hy the executive veto on leg-   Honallty
Xo Need for Change
.There is no need or desirability for changing this three-fold divi¬ sion of authority or int^.-rfering with the checks and balances Tiiey are products of our experience and have thoroughly Justified themselves by lone  and  useful  .service
While it is not suggested tha; either of these fundamentals .shall tie disturbed, attention is directed to two major recommendations regard¬ ing the structural form, one per¬ taining lo the legislative and ill'? other to the local municipal sub divisions
It Us suggested that the new Con¬ stitution make alternative provision for the abolishing of the present Oeneral Assembly, consisting of a Senate and Hriu.-^e of Repr«»senta lives and substitution thereof of a     unicameral     legislature,    either

Gossip About The Town St. Corner
By GUS
Now that Council has really got¬ ten down to business on PWA pro jects. our borough fathers are be¬ ing cornpliniemed on a wise move, and rightly so. Common sense hai dictated and according to street corner gossip meets with the ap¬ proval of the taxpayers. To fore¬ stall the construction of a brick ad¬ dition to the old flre house on Norlh Main street does ont merit the ac¬ 'ion and sp^ed necessary to com¬ plete our Community Park frona any viewpoint.
Nazaretli has been tMdIy In need of a receration park more than two generations and it has been about that length of lime that nothing much has been done to create the interest of our citizens to make It a reality About five years ago the Chamber of Commerce proposed a plan for the town to acquire the Hall Athletic Field as a recreallou centre, but at a boaster meellns held In the interest of this move¬ ment, the proposed project received a blow-on-the-head by one or two sp'aker> and 'he mailer was drop¬ ped and forgotten
The present location is ideal for park purposp.c and when completed will be or,'^ ')f Nazareth's b<'st as>ets,
