The Did conception that,-Conservation departments are gestapos to persecute and make miserable the lives of men is not true today. As a whole they are highly specialized organizations, much more so than some other departments. Many of these are supported by direct taxation, and function without ques tion as to their efficiency. Research workers, fish culturists, engineers, movie experts, public relations men, and a most of others aside from the Jaw erfforcement personnel make up the conservation depart ments of today. They have been hard hit by the war for such is ttie nature »f their work that young men make up the bulk ■of their personnel. Older men have been called in tb fill the places of those in the services. Despite gasoline and tire ra- tdooing, and th shortage of sporting ammuTfition, they are oarrying on and holding their organizations together. Under the pressure of war, wildlife is liable to^e neglected or forgotten- It takes money to care for this great resource. Tbe purchase of a license will do much to keep conservation departments going, and we owe it to our service men who make up a substantial part of our 20 million hunters and fish ermen. We subscribe cheerfully to bond drives, Red Cross and !ommunity chest—and we should. True, we are reminded of this duty by posters, solicitors, radio appeal, and our own Bense of what is right. Wildlife and conservation departments cannot make such campaigns. They can only hope that you do not forget them •—by failing to buy a license—Charlie Gillham, Sportswriter. o A grateful Nation has girded it- \ -elf for the Rl'ghty Seventh War ' Loan for 14 hilhons of dollars, half ' of which has been assigned as the j individval sales quota. According to ••eports from state chairmen reach- ng Ted R. Gamble, national di- * lector of the War Finance Division . of the Treasury In W’ashington, the I Nation IS ready for the huge task. Mr. Gamble was enthusiastic about '' results. He said “We’re prepared to 'io the best job in the 7th War Loan.” Mr, Gamble said that “not only is there more money available than ever before in each state, but individual in- 'ome will be ■igher in the pe- iod of the 7th Var Goan than LOOKING AKLAD BY GEORGES.

FARM-TO-MARKET ROADS Recently enacted Federal legislation has authorized funds for extension and improvement of secondary roads in the im mediate postwar era- This Federal aid fund must be matched dollar for dollar by the states. If state laws do not permit such participation they must be amended before the states can share in the Federal funds. The spread between the cost of operating over good roads and over bad is far greater than the average person realizes. For an idea of just how much difference there is in the cost, the National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association has made a-vailable some remarkable figures. Thirty:4^wo thousand rur al cames drive 1,500,000 miles daily. Moist of this tremendous milleage is on secondary or farm-to^market road's. Records kept by carriers in Indiana and I'ljjfwa Show- the operating cost per mile for earth roads to be 7.8c; gravel roads, 4.5c; pave ment, 3.8c. Bad roads are an impressive econom5c^waste -and are an un answerable argument for practical postwar road construction. You can hardly blame the rural letter carriers for being unan- imious .in favor of improving the higlhways they have to travel. There are Still 42 per cent of America’s farms on dirt roads. Better rural roads wlill speed up shipm'enlt from farm to city and help hold down food costs. ^ 0 — of his men, his democna'cy, and •his simjpiiciity ere already leg endary.

NO PERFECT PEACE We do not expect to be satisfied with all of the provisions of the organization set up at the San Francisco Peace Conference, declares Country Gentleman. Faults can prqba'bly be found with them. When our Oonstitution was drawn up, sixteen of those who took part refused to sign the document because of one fault or another. Their objections were honest, but all of us today are glad that their judgment did not prevail. 0 BLOW—BUT LOW Toot and tell ’em-^on’'t blast and fell ’em- Aside from being impolite when you blast your automobile horn at a p^estridn, you may cause an accident, the Nation al Safety Council pdirits out. Some persons are terror struck by a loud, sudden noise. Instead of moving out of yur way, they may freeze in their tracks or run fraritioally into your path. So for your own.proitection, as well as the pedestrian’s, keep that horn sweet and low. OTHER EDITORS READING &WRITING viSdwmSeetueiP^^eSmM’/iium Ro ,.obert E.

The individual quota is the I highest established in any of the previous drives, the secretary said. The E Bond quota alone is 4 bil lion. The 7th War Loan seeks near ly as much in the one drive as was asked in the first two drives of last vear which were held up to this time, nie two drives of this year, therefore, will seek nearly as much as was sought in the three drives of 1944. The Secretary stated that there Is every evidence that Federal ex penditures are going to remain at a high level for some time to come, and that the Seventh War Loan pro gram was designed to obtain maxi mum funds necessary to prosecute the War from non-bank investors. The securities, which will be sold under the direction'of the State War Finance Committees, are as follows: Series E, F and G Savings Bonds, Series C Savings Notes, 214% Bonds, 214% Bonds. 114% Bonds, %% Cer tificates of Indebtedness. The 114% Bonds will not be offered in the Drive to corporations. The Drive for individuals will ex tend from May 14 to June 30. How ever, an intensification of activities in the sale of Series E bonds began April 9, when millions of persons on payroll savings plqns throughout the country were asked to enlarge their participation as a part of the Seventh War Loan. AH Series E, F and G Savings Bonds and Series C Savings Notes processed through the Federal Reserve Banks between April 9 and July 7 will be credited to the Drive. During the final phase of the Drive which will cover the period from June 18 through June 30, subscrip tions will be received from all other non-bank investors for the 214% and 214% marketable bonds and the cer tificates of indebtedness.

His iractical concern for the ■welfare Britishers have no reluctance to making cracks about the famou, English climate, J. Frank Dobie relates in "Texan in England.” One of them told him about the stranger who came to Eng land to enjoy the summer but overslept himself one morning and missed It. An other related the story about a country squire who, upon being introduced to the Persian ambassador in London, said, "They" tell me that in your country you worship the sun.” "So would you if you ever saw him,” the Persian replied. Mr. Dobie, who is an admirer of retl- T * T* cence, both English and American, also tells this story. A stage driver of New Mexico, noted for his taciturnity, took five passengers on a sight-seeing tour over die mountains. Among these was a woman who began by exclaiming vrei the scenery, soon proceeded to cautioning the driver at steep places, and in between, fired a barrage of questions tiiat showed more ignorance than curiosity. At the end of the journey, the passengers got out, and a quiet man asked what the fare was. "Two and a half,” the old raw- hide replied. Each passenger paid, the wo- : man conaing last. She handed over a five dollar bill which the driver put in his pocket. "Where’s my change?” she asked. "Ain’t any.” "But, I you told the others the fare wa' two and a half.” "They didn’t talk, ’ : was the answer. , “ Joan—What’s the scarcest thing around that isn’t rationed?

The hopeful picture he unwit tingly posed of post-war America has come to mind several times since. More recently I have been listen ing to men discuss post-war plans that involved moulding public opin ion. Fabricating Sentiment “Knowledge is Power.” The words are supposed to have flowed from the pen of Francis Bacon about 300 years ago, but 1 think Bacon lifted this choice bit of wisdom from Solo mon: Proverbs 24-5. It has stood the test of time. Popular sentiment can be moulded. No informed pes- son will deny it. Hitler did it. Na tional leaders do it all the time, consciously or unconsciously, for better or for worse. For eleven years in China I watched selfish local war lords ex ercise their power over a patient, toiling peasantry. It could be done easily where the great mass of the people were unlearned, as in China, where 80% could neither read nor write. Unlearned masses sometimes rebel, but they usually fail because the energy they exert is not power; only ill-directed force. Common Sense of Most For 156 years the United States has prospered and grown as a re public. This is superior to a democ racy in that it provides for the safe ty and protection of minorities. A democracy places the minority at the mercy of the majority, some times just as heartlessly as a dic tatorship. That is why minorities have retained freedom in Amer ica; why each individual is still free to think for himself. It is impossible to get a corner on a nation’s ideas. Every man and woman has a brain and there is only one way to keep them from utilizing these assets to enrich them- .selves and the whole race, namely, keep ’em ignorant. The American way is the other way: schooling it free; libraries are everywhere; press and radio prosper keeping people informed. Our people havt knowledge and our nation har power. An Offensive Figure A country, whose leadei;s want the benefit of the best thinking of the whole nation, is on its way up. A nation that confines its thinking and planning to boards and bureaus is oo its way down. Central planners rea son thus: “The blacksmith has a head on him, but so does his ham mer. Why bother about either? We will do the thinking and the plan ning.” Germany planned for the wiole of her people, but her wages were only half as high as American wages in 1939. Russia does governmental planning for all of her people. Wages there were about one-sixth of Amer ican wages in 1939.
