When hysteria and confusion are rampant in the land, that is the best time for us Americans to pull up a chair and do a little sane and sober thinking. Have you ever seriously asked your self what it is that makes our country the best place on earth to live? Are we really "hungry for money," or is it the things we spend our money for that makes up our American way of life? Suppose we take an inventory of our traditions and customs, our freedoms and privileges to see just what makes life in America 1 tick. The freedom to God ir. the church of our choice. Th» ' i right to vote and for whomsoever we please. The right to give 'em i a "piece of our mind" and still have a peace left. Baseball with its peanuts, pop- j corn and a couple of digs at the umpire. The inspiring game o'i poker with perspiring pals. Here we can call the governor "Pete" or don't have to call him at all. No doffing the cap or bending the knee.

Woolworths, Firestones, Ed isoi-s and Lincolns of tomorrow. I These are merely a few things taken at random that make Amer ica and make us Americans. May ■ be no one else cares for these I . jthings. But we do. And how! i ' J America to us isn't a lot of ab l stract theory. It's a seven day a • week way of life. We don't 'dream about doing things. We I | ; dream after they're done! We're ! i not selfish. We're the "biggest . 1 hearted" people on earth. We'll help anybody any time. We mere- I Ily ask to be let alone so we can j help ourselves. i We like to work hard. We like { to play hard. We like to live { and laugh. But above all else, |we Americans were never made to be pushed around by anybody Here or anywhere else. ' In spite of it all we do not I claim our country is perfect. Tnere has always been room for improvement and our history | shows we've made plenty of it. What other nation in all the world has had so much happiness, so much fun, so much opportuni ty and so much freedom as we I j have ? The answer is none, j No price is too great to pay to safeguard these blessings. We will gladly spend billions to pre serve America as we love it but not one cent to be "gone-over and' : made-over" by a few over-zea lous and over-idealistic reform i ;ers. Do you think about these I things when you read ahoat the raany plans that are being made for our future? Do such plans guarantee that game measure and I brand that is now being fought for? Fought for by all of ua, 1 both in the front line and at .home, too? | Who are these planners,?. How have their other plans worked | out? Are their new plana being drawn in the light of our own way of life or are they imitations of foreign nations? Are you giving these plans real serious thought ? If not, and before it is too late, you should take time out to pon der them well. —Railway Employees' Journal. WANTID Tenant for 1944 Ave acres tobacco and other crops.
