GEORGE C. ABRAHAM
Early in the week when G. C.
Abraham heeded the beckoning
finger of Azrael, the community
suffered a serious loss. Remov
ing from any village, city or
country, a wise and useful man,
cast a certain shadow upon its
people. Mr. Abraham was a man
of breadth and ability, a citizen
above the average. He was the
constructive type. Quiet and un
pretentious in all his movements
in business and social contacts,
he was the opposite of unstable
emotionalism, so prevalent to
day. Mr. Abraham was a banker
with clear comprehensions of
banking principles, a man whose
guidance and advico left little
fear in those who sought his
counsel. Encouraging or dis
suading, 'his friends and neigh- | gy of apprecialion the Winlcr
bors had all faith in the whole-. yjgjtor frequently sends back to his
some and upright character. His j or hosts while in the Sandhills,
interests in the community wel- jj, cordial gesture, a sample of his
fare were of the SUDStantial va-jvvaies. These gifts have come in the
riety, .standing only for the pro->^-ay of bacon, canned goods chewing
gressive_ influences that were|gum, candy, books blankets shoes,
helpful in clean and vigorous (and a variety of commodities.
Recently the mail bag brought a
generous package of lead pencils to
a local hotel and friends in the vil
lage. The deparLeu guests had been
in 'the graphite business and made
lead pencils and from the sample.^

“THE .WORK
MUST GO ON”
The question now is whether
this Government is strong
enough to see to it that agita
tors, communists and German
agents sha*l not obstruct the
necessary li^rogram of produc
tion. I believe that it is. We can
not delay in such a matter.
If the President needs further
legislation, all he has to do is to
ask for it. Order must be main
tained.
We need now the work of ev
ery worker, and the right of any
worker to work must be protec
ted, and that without |«aying
for the privilege.
If there are grievances, let
them be referred to Govern
ment arbitration, but in the
meantime tne work must go on.
In all controversies between
workers and i?mployers, the Gov
ernment must now be umpire;
its decisions must be prompt and
effectual.
I am for whatever measures
may be necessary to eliminate
ail possibility of strikes or sit-
downs against the security of
ih« people of the United States;
and I am for prompt action. De
lay is not only dangerous, it
amount.s to defeat of all our
plans.
