Address all communications to The Enter prise and not individual mernbeis of the firm. No Subscription Received Under t Month# Don't Forgot There are only a fe w more shopping days before Christmas, and it is only right for the home folks not to forget the local merchants. At least, all of us owe it to the local mer chant to visit him first. When one considers that it is the local merchant who pays a large share of the taxes to support government at home, who con tributes to the upbuilding of the community and county, who provides employment for home people and who is a part of the com munity. then there is a solemn obligation j that, by all rights, -hould not be overlook ed. Local stores are offering the greatest ar ray of merchandise in many years, and j prices compare favorably with those pre vailing in the large towns and cities. Local merchants have worked hard and cooperated splendidly through thick and thin for months for the good of the com munity. let’s not forget at this season the favors they extended during past campaigns and drives. n hat's llrliiml It? One wonders what’s behind t>io Iron Cur tain. One also wonders what’s behind tVie drive now to convince the people that Hit ler was not the real enemy in World War II. We are being told that it was all wrong to help an ally in war. that it w;** unpatriotic to cooperate with an ally. , Before the war ended there was a drive in this country to challenge the leaders ap proved b\ the people in four elections. Everything attempt! d and act mplishrd was attacked, belittled and frowned upon. The liquidations behind the Iron Curtain have been pointed out as horrible acts. The re cord shows that quite a few have been li quidated right here at home, that some pow er somewhere has caused men to jump from hotel and hospital window. That power has, directly or indirectly, wiped from go\ - ernment positions just about every man who dared champion the rights o die peo ple. How many will be liquidated in the pres ent sensational atomic inquiry remains to be seen. That’s something to think about, but what's more important will be the methods employed in trying to discredit those who worked for victory in World War II. Will the pe >p!e condemn those who worked with an ally in war, or will they ac cept the soup handed out by the powers be hind our own little iron curtain? How can we expect anything but distrust and question the cooperation advanced by word or deed between two allied nations'’ Will those fliers who left American equip ment bombed and battered in Russia bv a German attack be called before the Un American Committee and subjected to loy alty tests? It’s hard to tell what’s behind any cur tain, but open developments at home would seem to indicate that the hidden powers are trying to discredit everything everyone who went to Washington between that hec tic spring in 1933 and the present, or they are trying to push this nation into war, or both. It’s about time for a people's committee to start some investigations of their own, to try and find out what it’s all about. It is possible that war contracts, payroll padding, salary kickbacks, rotten deals and question able acts are being hid behind all the hulla baloo, that someone holds to the.theory that rf we cry about the isms long and loud enough, the damnable practices of the shout ert will not be heard or seen. . You’re an optimist if you don’t care what happens so long as it happens to somebody elae.* 4 | Half Baked *V *-i. f ' "-•; Biased news and conflicting reports, have flowed from the political papers and maga zines until the average fellow is mired down in utter confusion. Now. of all places, comes what is evidently a half-baked account of the farm price support program from the : C1 ’ . H.ena'.ti \V.t vj.tv......G.dv‘.'-i Courier, the styled 'interpreter of the news," the story, while making a mountain out of the price supports apparently overlooks the income received by the Commodity Credit Corporation for the sale of the crops it pur chased. I* is admitted that the Commodity Credit .Corporation took a severe beating in hold ing irish potato prices to a figure where the grower received a living return, but in most other instances there was no loss. But Mr. Courier did not trouble himself, apparently, to get all the facts. He merely went off half cocked. leaving one to wonder where in the world can be found unbiased and true facts if they cannot^be found in a reputable reli gious publication. Mr Courier possibly thinks in terms of Christianity, but there’s little of it in a sys tem that allows any group to work hard and not realize a decent return on their labors and investments. If Mr. Courier and the other “gripes” could not understand that the farmer is still at the bottom of the economic ladder, that •he subsidy program was designed to main tain some semblance of a balanced economy in this country, possibly they would not be ' so critical and act for a better understand ing between the classes. Open The Door By Ruth Taylor "The door to the human heart can be open ed only from the inside.” I found that sentence tucked away at the ; bottom of the page of the magazine I was j reading on the plane. I tore it out and tuck- : ed it away for safekeeping—for through that doorway I could see so many vistas. The doorway to the human heart—I think it is like one of those fascinating glass doors that swing open mysteriously as you pass a hidden light. I think that only from the depths oi our own desire to understand, de sire to think selflessly, can we meet in per fect communion the minds of others. If we < o up to them with preconceived prejudices, with instinctiv e dislikes, we will not pass the light. The door will not open and no outer key will unlock it. But if in a warmth of spirit, in a feeling of friendliness and with a warm and under standing heart, we approach our neighbor, the door will spring wide open. It is next to impossible to hate a person we know. The welis of understanding are too deep and for giving. If we really love life, and laughter, fair play and good fellowship, we will have no loom for prejudice or cruelty. There will be no space left for misunderstanding. If we really want for others what we want for ourselves happiness and an opportunity to grow, we will face the adventure that is life in a spii it of friendliness for our neighbor. Because we have opened our hearts, our neighbor's heart will be opened unto us. Just imagine whut a world this would be if we could bring ourselves to stop distrust rig our neighbor. And just imagine what it would be like if he felt complete trust in us” Utopian? Yes- but is it more impossible than the things that have already come to pass in the world? Understanding of our neighbor’s needs, awareness of his problems, self-restraint against misjudging or generalizing about him, willingness to work with him and above all and through all the spirit of friendliness- that is the secret ray which w ill open the door of any heart. Marriage Counsellor.* Stanley Nttws and Press. The adjustments which a happy marriage demands in the lives of two persons are :.y!TU‘timr:; sad eater to make, and the grow mg number of divorces indicates that these adjustments are not being made in many in stances. We have been interested in the number of 1 books, magazine a tides and newspaper 1 columns which have appeared in recent i years on the important matter of how to ! establish happy homes. Today, it appears that more and more em- | phasis is being placed on the excellent work which trained marriage counsellors can do. ; One of the daily newspapers in the state re cently started a series of articles on mar riage, and in one of the first the writer stressed the importance of consultation with counsellors rather than with members of the family as to the solution of problems which soon develop. It is good sense to pay more attention to 1 marriage and the various problems connect ed with it. and it appears to us that every community should have one or more trained counsillors whose services would be avail able to all persons who are in need of advice and counsel on family affairs. FIGURE IN SUGAR SHIP MUTINY' LIKE A CHAPTER out of the old seafaring tales was the scene aooaru uie tanker Nathaniel B. Palmer as she moved up New York’s East River off Stapleton, Staten Island. Four crew members, allegedly on a binge, “mutinied” on the sugar ship. Capt. Victor Diaz, who was being pushed around, dropped his pistol whi'-h discharged and hit the radio operator, William Ealabanow, Lancaster, I’a., shown (top) being treated. Below, Mrs. Diaz is escorted from ihc boat. The men were jailed.
