Solon, the Athenian lawyer who
first advocated trial by jury and
who was responsible for much of
the personal freedom we enjoy,
was once asked the secret of eter
nal youth. To this he replied—
“Learn something new each day.”
During the past few years more
and more of us have come to agree
with his sage conclusion. Today
few men feel they have been com
pletely educated simply because
they have secured a school or col
lege diploma. In a world which
seems to be moving with increas
ing speed it is little that most of
us search for knowledge with most
inquisitive minds. As we enter
the atomic age more and more
men and women have come to re
alize that to stay out in front it is
necessary to leam more about our
jobs, to take extra courses in off
hours, and to keep abreast of cur
rent events and the scientific de
velopments that have a bearing on
our work.
Sometimes the knowledge which
we must gain seems so stupendous
that it hardly seems worth the ef
fort yet its acquisition is simple
if we but learn one or two new
things each day. And those who
seek knowledge retain their youth
too, because the man or woman
v/ho is too busy for self pity, pet
ty jealousies and criticism of oth
ers ages so gracefully that they
never truly grow old.

winning the peace
The world has no place to turn
today for regeneration except to
the United States. But if we are
to acept the challenge to save civ
ilization it means greater effort
than that exerted during the war.
There are no adequate substitutes
for hard work and full production.
If we are to win the peace, as we
helped to win the war, we must do
it by -showing the real might of
America—by justice, by helpful
ness which insists upon self help,
and finally by production and still
more production. Only in this way
can we reduce the cost of living
and build up our reserves—phys
ical, financial and spiritual.—Ber
nard Baruch.

I watched them tearing a building
down,
A gang of men in a busy town.
With a ho-heave-ho and a lusty
yell
They swung a beam and the side
wall fell.
An artist’s model is one girl
who is paid to work only when the
boss is looking.
I asked the foreman, “Are those
men skilled
As the men you’d hire if you had
to build?”
He gave a laugh and said, “No, in
deed!
Just regular labor is all I need.
I can easily wreck in a day or two
What builders have taken years
to do.”
I thought to myself as I went my
way.
Am I a builder who works with
care.
Measuring life by rule or square?
Am I shaping my deeds to a well
made plan,
Patiently doing the best I can?
Or am I a wrecker who walks the
town
Content with the labor of tear
ing down?
