No Subscription Received Under 6 Montha Tuesday. February 21. 19 IS A f)»ry of Rerkoniiif! rj Unemployed, temporarily at least, quite a few workers in this section recently felt the I sting of curtailed income. For several years so many workers have squandered just about every penny of their earnings, little realizing and apparently caring less that a day of reckoning would come bye and bye. Well, that day came when weather condi tions paralyzed industry here for a lew days. The victims weathered the storm after a fashion, but the shut-down lasted long enough to give quite a few workers a fair sample of what can be expected. The adverse plight was not general, to be sure. Many turned to their savings to tide them oyer, but others thought of the depres sion days back in the thirties. And somehow or other they were a bit disappointed when they looked around and found no relief flour or provisions of any kind waiting for them. The problem of burying the dead presented a financial problem in at least one cast'. The virtually penniless could not understand why welfare forces and relief agencies did not step forward to close the gap for them. All that happened when industry was paralyzed for just a few days. One wonders what will happen if and when thb economic system is thrown out of gear for any length of time. GETTING MARRIED? HERE’S HOW TO HAVE A HAPPY ALUMINUM ANNIVERSARY! According to legend, the tenth wedding anniversary is known as the aluminum anniversary. One of the nicest presents you can receive on this happy day is the gift of extra money. You can insure that gift before you say "I do" —by investing your savings now in United States Savings Bonds. In ten years, your government will pay you back four dollars for every three you've invested. There's no finer way of insuring financial security for couples just entering marriage. Start now to save these "bonds of matrimony!" Enlist in your firm's Payroll Savings Plan. If you are in busi ness or in a profession, and the Payroll Savings Plan is not avail able to you, take advantage of the Bond-A-Month Plan at your bank. ✓ Sum savina bseouse Hfe airtomaftc U.S. Savings Bonds viimiA mmiciw ws&r&mm Record sums were appropriated all during the boom period for the general welfare pro gram. Now, with taxes at an all-time high, the demand for more relief money is great er. Taxes have been paid without question, lull the time is fast approaching when the taxpayers will want to know what becomes of their tax monies. Some adjustments, it is predicted, will be made, no doubt, in the relief program. And, too, those who look longingly to relief agen cies will have to change their program and drop luxuries from their lists. It is admitted that those who have reached the bottom of the economic pit arc not now able to do more than exist on their income, but those of us who are on the borderline must act and prepare to look out for ourselves. It has been quite a season since a warn ing has been issued, but those who know the facts are hopeful they’ll not be thrown, upon the mercy of the relief agencies in any fu ture emergency. Remember how long the people waited for prosperity around the Hoover corner before any action was taken? Well, there is good reason to believe the wait will be longer next time. Political Illiteracy Christian Science Monitor What is the rate of political illiteracy in the United States"’ The sorrowful answer must be: High. Pub lic opinion polls have indicated that fewer than half of American adults know how many United States senators there art' from each state. Half of them have never heard of Harold E. Stassen. Two thirds of them don't know where Greece is, and 40 percent don’t know who General Franco is. Young Americans who have gone abroad are frequently amazed at the avid political interest of their contemporaries in other lands. As one of them wrote last year dur ing a summer of working in Eu ope with Europeans: “Why. here it's politics and eco nomics from morning until night.’’ Why this greater interest in p blic affairs in older lands? Doubtless becai: ;e the pres sure of need, of past history, of limited na tional resources and conflicting national in terests leaves no comfortable trargin of in difference for the individual. 1 ut in today's shrunken world the margin for American indifference has shrunk, too. Educators are aware of this and doing what they can. Two world wars and an atom bomb should be powerful educators also. Toe pressure of wdrld events on American resources, which are far from in exhaustible, has now reached the point where every American should realize that he cannot live to himself alone.
