EDITORIAL VIEWS AND COMMENT
This week we observe another
Independence Day, the first peace-
time anniversary of the birth of
our nation for the past several
years—and naturally it will be a
more joyous observance than any |
we have had for some time. How- |
ever, on the eve of the greatest]
national holiday the honor roll of
dead of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania was released to the
newspapers and Cambria County's
total is just a little less than 700
—696 to be exact.
oe oe eke oe
These 696 men gave their lives
in order that the Nation, as set
up by the Founding Fathers
back in 1776, might continue to
endure. While there still may be
those amongst ns who really be-
lieve that it might not have been
necessary for this country to en-
gage in the latest conflict, they
are few. We couldn’t have set up
an attitude of appeasement and
have continued as a free nation.
Cambria County suffered its
war casualties in about the same
proportion as did all other coun-
ties in all other states in the
Union.

(national policy of procrastination
and appeasement, A year ago we
were sitting on top of the world,
having been the main force in
achieving a successful war. Today
we seem pretty weak and have
elements inside and outside to the
effect that we, as a nation, are
indecisive, fearful and sometimes
we appear almost hopeless.

There isn’t much encourge-
ment at the present time at
Washington in the halls of Con-
gress. Party lines seem to have
dissolved themselves into mists
and colations of both parties
unite to sabotage programs for
the betterment of the Nation by
the Administration. Naturally,
the Republicans join with the
elements of Congress in the
Democratic camp to ruin con-
structive programs, with the
hope that the present admins-
tration will be blamed by the
people and that in the coming
elections they will again assume
control. But there may be a
more complete understanding by
the people than they think. We
hope so.

Individually the members of the
lower house of Congress are look-
ing for every vote-saving method
they know of. Sometimes they do
not know what position to take.
Indications are that, instead of
being the courageous statesmen
our forefathers of 1776 were, they
are more desirous of protecting |

meanwhile prices are constantly |
growing, the military strength of | should not have and enjoy a bicy-

Maybe it would be a good
thing for us this Independence
Day to take stock of ourselves
in the light of our former glory
and prestige, Surely we were
definite enough about our ideals
during the war and exemplified
enough courage to bring them to
fulfillment. Surely we should be
no less strong and resolute now.
By wielding the decisive force
on the side of right, there’s no
reason why we should be less
resolute now, and we should
allow no other nation to usurp
our position.

Despite the fact that we were
supposed to have fought and won
World War II and were the balance
of power that brought the Axis
aggressors to their knees, every
open-minded diplomat among our
former allies well knows that we
| do not seek to dominate the rest
| of mankind or even to have the
| final word on our own side of the
| world—in the Americas and their
| numerous small countries. Our ef-
fcrts to obtain justice for smaller
nations should be construed hon-
estly and we should insist upon our
ideals. Despite all the fine slogans
of wartime, we still find the old-
time selfishness among European
nations that always has been evi-
denced—probably always will be.
The Declaration of Indepen-
dence was the most important
political document ever to be
conceived and executed for the
preservation of man and his
freedom to live as his Creator
certainly must have intended.
There have been several times
that this Nation has had to go
on the field of battle to preserve
the tenets of the great document
of 1776. In none of the wars has
the cost in human life and sacri-
fice been as great as in the war
recently brought to an end. The
nearly 700 young men of Cam-
bria County alone attest that
fact.
Somehow or other the ideals we
have held so precious in the past
and during the four years of war
seem t6 be slipping. At no time in
all history have the rank and file
of the common people placed such
an implicit and direct eye upon
their senators and congressmen as
| they do now. There are so many
| things happening, and the people
all hope they will be for the best.
[But into all of it there is also a
| spirit
of individual selfishness
among certain people, among cer-
| tain interests, that may spell chaos
| for most of the people. So many of
our elected representatives at
Washington seem to be influenced
by pressure on the part of the
classes instead of the well-being of
the masses.
This week we again observe
another anniversary of our In-
dependence Day — our greatest
holiday. Despite the clouds that
now seem to prevail on all sides,
perhaps, like all storms, the sun-
shine comes afterward. The up-
holding of government comes
first. But it must be a govern-
ment of the people and when we
slip from that thought, this
Nation of ours still will find
itself sufficiently strong to re-
turn the government to the peo-
ple at the polls. The United
States of America will live on.
Based on the principles of the
Declaration of Independence, it
can do no other,
buys. If the take-home pay of
the worker is not sufficient to
bring himself and family a de-
cent livlihood, he'll kick—and so
would you,
*
A new strike wave is freely pre-
dicted by labor economists if the
cost of living shoots up quickly.
How soon it comes, they say, will
depend upon the rate of the price
increases. Other labor organiza-
tions will likely follow the policy
of the United Mine Workers of “no
contracts no work.” There likely
won't be any continuance of the
current union practice of remain-
ing on the job while the new con-
tracts are negotiated if unions find
themselves in a position of dash-
ing to keep up with runaway
prices. Retroactive wages would
not satisfy them in such a situa-
tion.

We are of the belief that the
common man and woman will
shortly regret that the OPA was
not continued in the same shape
and form that existed through-
out the war years—at least for
another year. It will not take
long to determine that, either.
There’s more behind the scarcity
of a lot of commodities right
now than appears on the surface.
Some of the scarcities, at least,
are created by big business in
order that fixed prices no longer
can be placed upon them, It isn’t
going to take one long to know
the truth of that when you see
where some to the prices are
going to skyrocket to.
The bicycle-riding boy and girl
again is with us, as is the case
every summer. Of course, there is
no reason why any boy or girl
some of them that are careless
riders—careless in the sense that
they endanger themselves by their
riding habits. They also. create one
of the greatest hazards for the
motor vehicle driver. Patton is not
without its careless bicycle riders.
Motorcycles, bicycles with a
motor attached, and just plain
bicycles all are subject to high-
way safety laws and the opera-
tor of such a vehicle who fails
to obey highway safety laws is
subject to arrest, state police
warn. “Too frequently operators
of motorcycles and bicycles seem
to forget that they are subject
to these regulations,” the state
police commissioner asserts. “A
practice of using a ‘cut-out’ on a
motorcycle is a violation of the
Motor Vehicle Code. All cyclists
should ride carefully.”
Once again we read of children
drowning in the rivers and streams
of the state. This happens an- |
nually. In most cases these deaths
could have been eliminated had
there been some supervision of the
children. No creek or river is a |
safe place for a child to bathe if |
there isn’t some qualified swimmer |
along. After all, the regularly con- |
structed and properly supervised |
swimming pool is by far the better |
place for a child’s enjoyment, and
Patton offers that opportunity at |
its Recreation Park.

Patton will have no formal
celebration of Independence Day
but there will be many things
one can do. For instance, there
is a celebration at Bakerton with
a parade in the morning. If the
weather is nice the Patton Re-
creation Park affords you ex-
cellent picnic facilities. The
Chest Springs Picnic also will be
a gathering place for many from
far and near—with both a dinner
and supper to be served.

DIVORCE RATE HITS
ALL-TIME HIGH HERE
Divorce rates in Cambria County
are setting an all-time record -
with only half of this year gone.
Thus far this year a total of 264
divorces have been granted, com-
pared to 138 for all of last year.
Fifty eight cases still are pending.
According to the ratio compiled
at the Courthouse, this figures out
to one divorce suit for every four
marriage license applications.
In 1939 the ratio was one to 21.

dial before you hear the
steady hum-m-m-m of the

office equipment. (4) You
slow up service for others.
The volume of telephone
