The Press invites its readers to express their opinions through
its columns and each week it plans to carry Letters to the Editor
on its editorial page. This newspaper is independent in its policies
and is glad to print both sides of any question. Letters to the Edi
tor should be written legibly on only one side of the paper and
should be of reasonable length. Of course, the editor reserves the
right to reject letters which are too long .or violate one's better
sensibilities.
Weekly Bible Thought:
Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a
highway for ovtr Cod. Isaiah 40, 3.

may be walking, but that probably I
would be as it should be. The
men and women who honestly vo;k
their ways om A the present eco
nomic labyrinth will 1m- tho'.c po?
sessed of the proper intestinal
stamina. For some time now, we
have needed something to divide
the sheep from the oats. (.'rooks
and deadlteats have been sailing
along in the vanguard of society
and the church, enjoyiiu; all the
privileges and often more than
those who make up-the ranks of
honest citizenry. If the present
crisis ' serves as a k velcr in the
bu siness and social realms, much
will be gained. The seeming suc
cess of the 'dishonest during, the
reign of extravagance' through
which we have just passed, has
ha'! a baneful tlfc'cl, serving U.
Rive sanction to tlie theory that
the way to win is through shady
paths.-
If it strtcs to make us a l:tth
more concerned about the quality
ol the men who are entrusted v.it'i
our' governmental affairs, it will
he well worth living through. As
it is ami has been, our mot re
sponsible trusts are often given t".
men who could not make a living
for theuisclws in any ' other than
political fields. '
.There is really a great deal about
our present status to give us urge
to go forward and cheer in the
hope that in going forward much
that has been unwholesome will be
left in the discard. MISS 'EMILY
