l.at's I nu iml Him Ihi It
Just prior to the last war, ;i big portion
of big industry literally “pulled1' one of the
biggest strikes in history when it refused
to convert to war schedules until the govern
ment met stiff terms on profits and taxes.
There’s been no similar charge advanced
so far in the present period of unrest.
However, industry is calling for orders
without controls. While the big boys demand
freedom of action for themselves they are
calling for no-strike pledeges from labor,
and admonishing the masses for hoarding.
Little or nothing has been heard to come
from behind the big mahogany desks re
motely suggesting a non-profiteering pledge.
Nothing has been said about calling off dis
gusting politics for the duration.
It is the same old situation where the big- j
mouthed shout, “let's you and him light’’.
I'lir Day Is \ol l.osl
If I have moved a single grain of sand
This day to help my fellow man,
If 1 have brought one stray into the fold,
Or sent a ray of hope to one lonely soul
Like a sunbeam in a prison cell;
Or on the desert sands a water well
To quench his anguish on the way of life.
Or ease his heart’ leak in the battle
s1 rife—
This day is not lost.
Patricia Soito.
(ailing b ar (iravy
The coal industry appears to be greatly
upset because it is granted approximately
27 percent depletion allowance and it is fav
ored with only five percent. The coal opera
tors are calling for more gravy, but do not
even suggest that the depletion allowance
for oil is too much.
It is getting a bit complicated when an in
dustry is allowed a fair profit, and then this
or that favor is allowed.
The coal case is not too different from the
monkey business carried on by some agen
cies m the financial world. They comply
with the six percent interest law, but then
turn and charge an outrageous service fee
and sell insurance out o’f proportion to needs
just to declare a 10-or 15-eent dividend at
the end of the year.
Disgusting
The IJ. S. Senate has voted to lend Franco,
Spain’s ruthless dictator, one hundred mil
lion dollars. The action is disgusting.
They say it is vital in the fight against
Communism. Possibly that is true, but how
about those people who have been perse
cuted on account of their religious beliefs?
Wdl they think much of the action? After
l ighting a costly war to cheek facisim. it does
not now make sense to join up with facisim
to fight Communism.
It does not seem that we could take un a
banner that represents consistency, fairness
and justice and march forward under it. and
stop playing one thing against another thing.
4moiiuls To ihont tho Same Thing
Back yonder Grandpa found time to take
down his muzzle loader, mold a fresh sup
ply of bullets, measure out the right amount
of powder and pour it down the barrel, place
a bullet on a patch and ram it home with a
hickory rod, put a cap on the nipple and
then go hunting. Grandpa had time to make
the slow preparations, but possi,biv he did
not have to spend hours looking for game.
Now, the sportsman goes out with his
repeater with nothing to do but shift the
safety - and look and look for game. The
time spent by Grandpa making preparations
for the hunt possibly was not as long as the
time spent bv the modern hunter searching
for game. But one about offsets flit' other,
meaning that we are not so far ahead of
(Irandpa, after all.

through traffic, onto the open road.
Hut you have a pleasant surprise in store—one that will unfold for
miles and miles. You will discover that Pontiac's goodness, Pontiac's

on. just give your Pontiac plenty of exercise and reasonable care and
it will give you the happiest miles of your life!

Things To Watch
For In the Future
Versatile new lightweight san
| dais serve either as bedroom slip
i pers or beach shoes, can also be
! used in tub or shower. They re
i unaffected by grease, sand and
abrasives, corrosive chemicals and
, temperature changes. And you
i ran dry them instanlv by simply
shaking off the water. . . . You 11
| get tastier fruit juices with a shak
er which holds just enough water
and air to dilute and refresh the
concentrated juice from a six
ounce can. A special lip permits
pouring without dripping. . . . For
both adults and children, a minia
| ture electric organ weighs only
four pounds, is about the same
| size as a table-model radio. . . .
‘Chewing gum is the latest thing
to get the ammoniated treatment.
Sounds like a natural.
