Cut Out The Rough Stuff
(Carl Goerch in "The State")
There seems to be a tendency on the part of
press associations and war correspondents to
sprinkle their reports with words and expres
sions which would not be tolerated during nor
mal times, and we see no reason why they
should be tolerated now.
We're at war. We are confronted by ruth
less enemies. They are cruel, merciless and
vicious in their method of warfare. All of us
realize that fact. It doesn't help matters any
to refer to them as damned so-and-so's in print.
If the bars are let down in the press of the
nation, then it won't be long before the bars
will let down in general conversation. We see
no reason for becoming indecent in print nor
for becoming indecent in talk. If the practice
is tolerated, it is bound to spread, and we doubt
whether any right-minded person wants this to
happen.
Nothing can be gained by taking up and con
doning the use of terms which rightfully belong
in the gutter, unless we, ourselves, wish to
place ourselves on that level.
POOLE'S MEDLEY
(By D. Scott Poole)
The reason this country is subject
to panics is because men and women
hoard their money, because it will
yield more profit by holding than by
investing it. The scarcer dollars are,
the more a dollar will buy.
To do justly, love mercy and walk
humbly, fits people for working
rignteousness and in these we walk
uprightly.
I have never believed a lasting
peace can be brought about by force.
Love hardly possesses the heart
through coercion. But to hold wicked
men in control seems a necessity, and
after they have some since, talk
love to them. They are devoid of
that now. It is said atheists never
sing, and I believe we may add Ger
mans and Japs are incapable of lov
ing. They seem to have no idea of
that passion.
It was not because I thought Rae
ford was a pretty town I came here
to live. I came because I liked the
people I met here.

toward women and children.
I have written about things and con
ditions of the past so that you may
see how far we have come. The
only criticism I would make is people
are yielding too much toward extravagance.

When the soldiers return, they will
find young women in their jobs, and
the only hope I see is for the young
men is for them to marry the womm

I do not like striking. If workers
cannot live on what they make on

other. If living expenses are re

Americans are natural inventors.
But besides inventing things, they also
invent jobs. Here are six of the many
unusual services that ingenious Americas
have actually invented in recent years.
Some may be war casualties now.
But they'll be back. And the natural
reaction from wartime regimentation will'
encourage a lot of other individual
enterprises. All that give good service and
meet a real need will endure and grow.
The business of supplying electric
service beg sn modestly, too. There were!
scoffers and skeptic a-plenty. But I
other men with courage and imagiaatioa)
risked their money and went ahead.
Today, under sound business manage
ment, America enjoys the best and the
most electric service in the world.
This basic freedom of opportunity
this chance to take a chance
helps make America Ameriem.
