"\V clcome Horne"-Some of otir boys have waited years to hear those two words. What tl1ey've endured for the sake of hearing the.m is more than we like to dwell upon. Rut those two words, "vVelcome Home," can become just an empty phrase if yo.u forget, for one minute, the responsibility to the man you say them to-and to the several million men overseas who are still yearning to come home. \Vhat we're talking about. of course, is your responsibility to continue b11ying bonds-and holding on to the ones you already have. Don't forget to purchase your share during the Victory Loan drive which gets underway in the South End Monday, Oct. 29.

A Greater Pacific Lutheran College
\
The announcement that approximately $650,000 will be spent at Pacific Lutheran College for three new buildings and on several renovation projects is well received by the thou"sands of residents in the South End. The modern P.L.C. will bring to the Prairie a beautiful and attractive campus-a scene sure to add to "advantages" of the South End district. The money to be spent on the building program is only the start of money that will be flowing into Patkland. A bigger and better P.L.C. w,ill mean more students, more activity. That means more revenue. Yes, the growth of Pacific Lutheran College means the expansion of the Prairie. .An institution's worth to tb'e community can be measured in two ways: I-the amount of money it brings to the community; 2-the kind of influence it exerts on the citizenry of that community. While the South Enders can rejoice over the large amount of m,oney that is being spent in Parkland to expand P.LC., they should never lose sight of the real value of the institution-the kind of influence it has on Parkland, Brookdale, Spanaway, and the entire Pacific Northwest. ., Now tbat P.L.C. will be expanded, we are confident that its student body will increase in rapid ratib.

**** Labor and Capital
Labor and capital, as essential to the American way of living as freedom of speech, freedom. of worship, and freedom of press, during the past years have had a tendency to go in opposite directions. The rcsuh has become very dangerous to the economic system of our country. Labor cannot exist witb0out capital; likewise, capital cannot prosper witbout labor, Yet leaders of both groups have accomplished very little in settling the difference between the two groups. Surely, there is a better and more American way to come to terms than the strikes that have occured throughout the nation. Destruction of prnperty and loss of life is a high price to pay. For in the end it seems that terms between the two groups result only in a wider gap. If it is necessary for labor to organize to obtain proper working and living standards from capital, which we have no doubt is necessary. then steps should be followed to bring about a fairer understanding between tbc two groups. We feel that education is the only solution. Proper presentation of the problems of the two groups during high school ·so that all the boys and girls can get a clear and unprejudiced "opinion may be one alternative. Organizational procedures and benefits that can be derived from an organized working class and the ]'imitations of the capital interests are items that can be explained. in high school so that every American can be come acquainted with problems that lie ahead. A clearer understanding together by both classes will not only bring the two i,nterests closer together, but will go a long way toward eliminating the racketeers in labor circles who are getting tremendously rich, both in money and in power, at the expense of the poorly-informed working rnan.

We hope there arc many other people in Spanaway who will become imbued with some of the enthusiasm shown by these men to assist in carrying on the Scout work. It is a worthy and noble work. It is the type of work that will make better boys-and in turn, better citizens and leaders for tomorrow for Span.away, and for the nation. It is a work that takes time, patience, and pLmning. The Scouts and troop committee in Spanaway possess all three. Otherwise, they could not have accomplished what they have done so far.

Hours of hard work and faith in the American scouting program has brought miraculous results in Spanaway. \Vhcn the scouts of that community were having trouble finding a suitable meeting place'. a group of Spanaway men resolved that something should be done about the situation. Men like Harold Schwarz, H,erman Fuchs. George King, H;. R. Bradshaw, and there are several more, went to work to get a borne for the Scouts. There were people in Spana way who said that it couldn't be done. They said tljG community was too small to merit and support a scout home. But these leaders; did not falter.

RURAL ROUTE Dear Editor_: Several weeks ago the Prairie Pointer carried an article about the expansion potentialities of the South End district and the items that should be considered to meet the growth. l like some of the po in ts brought out by your paper; it is indeed a public service for your publication to constantly remind the readers of the big job that lies ahead. H owcvcr, one project that J think sho11Jd be considered, ancl one that you die! not mention, is tran,.;f.crring the .nual route from the substation at Fern Hill to tjic l'arklancl postofficc. At the present time, there arc five routes running out of the !<"cm llill office and two of these routes do nut "'start" u11til they pass the Parkland area. Althtrngh they serve ·Parkland, Bro.okdale and part of Spanaw:iy area, they originate from the Fern Hill district. It doesn't seem logical to me. It seems to me that the folks in Parkland shoulll make a study or survey (;f the situation. Sure1)•, our postal department, when inf ormcd of the conditions, will take fa,·orablc action on the matter. \Vhat do you say, Parkland?
