Hitch-Hiking
LOOKING BOTH WAYS
Defense officials are ‘figuring” how to save as much raw
materials from the manufacturing industry as possible to help
defense production. One auto manufacturer has compiled esti
mates to show that if the automobile manufacturers will confine
their output to the lighter models, 227,000 tons of material will
be saved this year.
On the other hand one must remember that most of the
material that goes into defense products goes for good. Its
ultimate end will be the bottom of the sea or scattered more
widely by bombing planes and made more difficult to get to
gether again than if it lay deep in the earth. So the people who
have cars, refrigerators, radios, farm equipment and other need
ful things, had better make them last a long time. The next
ones will be expensive and money to purchase them will be
hard to get.

WHY FRANCE FELL
Andrew Maurois, noted French essayist, says: “Had the
leaders of France been frank with the people ... my beloved
country would never have fallen.” So, many people of our be
loved United States also feel that if our leaders had been frank
with them there would not today be the indifference and oppo
sition to the government’s plans as now exists. Not only do
many believe the government has failed to let the people know
all the facts but it has in some instances magnified others be
yond the truth. Truthfulness, sincerity and honesty are things
absolutely necessary to keep confidence and patriotism at their
vital stage for efficient cooperation.
BUSINESS HITTING THE SKY!
A prominent member of the President’s cabinet says in
dustry should have an arbitrary limit of profit, that a certain
per cent is enough and that the government should “fix” it.
Yet the same statesman says that no such ruling or regulation
should muzzle labor or fix labor wages. If I, in my little busi
ness, have a limit of 20 per cent profit on my gross business
levied, and my employees may demand and get wages that “eats
up” my net profit of 12 per cent, after 1 have “contributed” the
balance to the up-keep of Uncle Sam, where will my business
along with poor little me land? Sounds like the old, old prob
lem of the cat in the well.
INSTALLMENT PURCHASING
Sometime ago we found it necessary to buy a new font
of linotype mats—the things we use in casting the letters that
make up a newspaper. It required nearly $200.00 to finance the
bill. And, we hardly had $2.00, much less $200.00. So we bought
and began paying for them so much down and $30.00 a month
till paid for. I notice that I am in a big company which includes
every community in the nation. We installment folks owe man
ufacturers and retailers $9,800,000,000 to be paid so much per
week or month. Even our government is urging its citizens to
buy homes on the installment plan. Many people can buy ne
cessities in this way when, if it were a cash proposition, they
could not. In seeking new sources for tax the government may
levy some kind of tax on this great American way of doing bus
iness. If it does “crack down” on us in its multiplied way of
raising taxes we will not just be in a fix, we’ll be fixed.
YES, FOLKS.ARE FUNNY, TOO
*
Which of us cannot stand for hours and watch a cage of
monkeys play human? Montaigne said “It may be the cat is
just as amused by me as I am by her.” Was it imagination or
did I see a cat wink or a dog grin at me when it had done
something an animal is not supposed to do, or was it when 1
. did something a human is not supposed to do? I believe a lot
of animals have about as much sense as some of us and others
#
have a much greater sense of humor than most of us. And I
have seen a lot of animals of various kinds that seeme4 to me
to be better fitted by disposition and conduct to add to the hap
piness of the saints in glory than a lot of folks I know—even
folks who “belong” to the church.
THE ART OF BEING BOSSED
•
The secret of being loved is to love, some one has said—
and to know your trade better than anyone else. And, the writer
goes on to say, men bear commanding. They even want to be,
provided they are well commanded. Now that loving part is
nothing new, but the other —being bossed, is something most
men will not admit, even to their wives. And that thing of
“knowing your trade better than any one” else —does that
refer to the man or his boss?
