Too II e?A To 4n?irer The United States is calling to voang men to engage in its basic industries, but apparently tiiose hearing the call are too weak to answer Just ten years ago, a thoughtless government was driving the youth of the land out of em ployment that a Selfish and broken-down ec onomic,.system might continue for the few m the favored places Conditions have reversed themselves. ,To dav. the gains to be made in the future rest with the manpower of our nation. The govern ment is calling for its young men, urging them to prepare themselves for future tasks. Only last week, educators met in this county to es tablish special schools and fit young men for ' work. The question now is. will the unemploy ed young men ignore the call, or will they take their step in a progressive march arranged by the government'' The salvation of tins nation does not now rest on one man's promise of prosperity around the corner; it rests upon the willingness and de termination of young men to accept the chal lenge of their government and go around that corner in search of prosperity (tor Hob Afeoiii United States Senator Robert Rice Reynolds ("Our Bob" to many) declares there are too many high positions held by foreigners. No count of noses in the positions has been offi cially announced, but it can be reasonably said that for nearly every position gained and held bv a foreignci in this country there was a na tive who was too lazy, too dumb or too indif ierent to honest-to-goodne s work to gain and hold it down. To explain the situation more concretely, too many of our own people have made such jackasses of themselves in high po sitions that the people chose foreigners. And in our humble estimation such an explanation will fit Mr. Reynolds' case ere long. From Tlx Now York Timtt. We are witnessing in Europe a plot to mur der civilization as systematically carried out as the bombing of Britain. The tragedy is too vast, too grotesque, too overshadowed by the h.-ittles in the foreground to be fully taken in. It is proceeding nevertheless with relentless cruelty. Just enough gilters through the veil of silence and censorship to make us aware that condiTOrrr in every occupied country are in finitely worse than we know or can imagine. "We are living in hell," says a letter smuggled out of Warsaw and published here yesterday, and this statement of a group of tormented but defiant women applies not only to Poland. It is a literal description of the existence of millions of people immured in the Continent which has cradled the culture, the law and the humane tradition of mankind. Hitler has imposed a "new order," from the Vistula to the Bay of Biscay. He has taken over a ready-made complex of great cities, well developed industry and agriculture, highly civilized populations By superior force he is presumably able to do what he likes with his captives. What has he done? So far he has pro duced only an immense pool of misery and want Furthermore, he has brutalized every so ciety he has touched Yesterday in Rumania Iron Guardists executed members of the pre ewiing government including the Premier, in reprisal for the killing of Iron Guardists under the Carol regime. This wholesale assassination was not directed by Hitler, but indirectly it is Ins work. The spirit of violence that rules in Bucharest, the reversion to jungle law, is the true emanation of the Nazi spirit As it flares up in savagery in one place af ter another, in political murder in Bucharest, in student riots in Zagreb, in fresh round-ups in Prague, the new order reveals itself for what it is- a reign of disorder leading to an archy. Whether the landslides reported from Norway are sabotage or not,, -a plot to move mountains to impede the German masters fits Into the general picture of violence begetting violence. This is the preamble to the constitution of the Nazi Europe?murder in the name of the law. terror in the name of government, famine in the name of redistribution of wealth. Sufrty For C.hri?tma? Morganlon News-Herald. "We hope everyone will enlist in this cam paign to reduce traffic tragedy during the holiday season; certainly there is no better way of expressing the Christmas spirit than by spar ing others the grief of a traffjc accident. No one can have a happy Christmas if he has an accident." That's the appeal of the president of the Na tional Safety Council, Col. John Stilwell, and we know of no better time to start practicing safe driving for the holiday season than right now. The Council blames bad weather, more hours of dai kness and the holiday rush. To thwart these traffic bugaboos, it suggests the following sensible rules: 1 Don't drive if you drink. 2. Balance more darkness and bad weather with less speed and more caution. Start earlier. 3 Don't let the hustle and bustle of the holi day season make you impatient or careless when you drive or walk. Take it easy. Nine Points On Church-Going By Theodore Roosevelt 1. In this actual world, a church nimmnnity community where men have abandoned and scoffed at or ignored their religious needs, is a community on the rapid down grade. 2. Church work and church attend ance mean the cultivation of the hab it of feeling some responsibility for others. 3. There are enough holidays for most of us. Sundays differ from oth er holidays in the fact that there are fifty-two of them every year?there fore on Sundays go to church. 4 Yes. I know all the excuses. I know that one can worship the Crea tor in a grove of trees or by a run ning brook, or in a man's own house just as well as at church. But I also know as a matter of cold fact that the average man does not thus wor ship. 5. lie may not hear a good sermon at church, lie will hear a sermon by a good man who is engaged all the week in making hard lives a little easier. 6. He will listen to and take part in reading some beautiful passages from the Bible. And if he is not fa miliar with the Bible, he has suf fered a loss. 7. He will take part in singing Mime good hymns. 8 He will meet and always speak to good, quiet neighbors. He will come away feeling a little more char itable toward all the world, even toward those excessively foolish young men who regard church-go ing as a soft performance. 9. I advocate a man's joining in church work for the sake of showing his faith by his works. METHODIST Church school, 9:45 a. m. Morning worship, 11 a. m. Ser mon, "Waiting for the Sunrise."
