Managing Editor AL EDITORIAL SSOCIATION The endeavor of the Union Press-Courier is to sincerely represent Org- anized Labor in all efforts to obtain economic freedom. Ma lication must be signed by the writer as an evidence of good faith. The Union Press-Courier gives its advertisers the advantage of combined largely-circulated weeklies and has a reader coverage that blankets Patton and the major mining towns in Northern Cambria terial for pub- “Ee the pool of eligible young men who never will be called simply because they won't be needed. Taking some young men out of circulation for two years, and leaving others-—by far the great- er majority—with no military ob- |ligations to perform, is simply | bad business, whether it's law or not. ¥ ok ok Of course, we are not in the know. The Big Brass of the services probably know what they want. However, to our line of thought, wouldn’t it be bet- ter if the duration that a young man was to serve were reduced | to one year, instead of two, bring just twice as many nen into service, and leave the fair- ness of the entire deal be more equitable? The Senate beat down an 18-month duration draft. We haven't any idea what EDITORIAL VIEWS AND COMMENT The United States Senate has, passed a draft bill. The House of | Representatives also will act on it. It is not for laymen, perhaps, | to comment on the necessity of a | draft. Our government should know whether it is necessary or not. A peacetime draft, naturally, is not popular with the people, | facts, few congressmen are anxious at all to have to vote on compelling youths to serve in the armed forces, especially in time of peace, and more par- ticularly in an election year. % kk There's bound to be dissatisfac- but if it is necessary to prevent ; : fl : OBC i | neighbors and friends in a peac ya a gre being ‘tole, then | {ie draft in which fate will de- the draft’s the thing. x x % The House was ina big hurry | | cree that be | | compelled to serve and others will {ed remain out of service.

TODAY'S MOST REMARKABLE VALUE! For easier, faster ironing with no standing, modern table model ironer is portable—iron in your most pleasant room! It irons everything with ease sheets, curtains, clothing, no lifting, no backaches. This the house will do. % x % | No one young man, regardless |of his standing, of his ancestral | background, of his wealth, or his | poverty, is one whit better than | his neighbor. If a draft is to be |at all fair, it should be so univer- |sal that no one can accuse an- other of favoritism, whether jus- | tifiably or not. Unless the selec- [tive service law cuts down the | tenure of service, only a fraction |of men will have to serve by let- |ter of the law. This thought of ours won't amont to notice on the part of Congress, but it surely | must be a thought that has enter- the minds of many of our American citizens. | % ® ok { The other evening were were | in attendance at an annual ban- | quet of one of Cambria Co.'s outstanding farm organizations. | Mingling with over 300 men and | women, many of whom we have | known for years, the thought | entered our mind that these folks are in the forefront of the | representative citizens of our | country. Their modern farm | plants of today can nearly all be traced directly back to the | very first settlement in Cam- | bria Co., for the pioneer resi- | dents here—the hardy men and | women who cleared the wilder- ness to till the soil—formed our major means of livilhood. * kk | | | | | The very fact that they had to |live made a farmer of every pio- (neer. Many of the best farms in | Cambria Co. today were those of | the first clearings in a virgin wil- | derness. Cambria Co. was pros- {perous and contented before the mines and steel mills and other | {industries ever gave thought to (the area. And farming still re- mains one of its major blessings. The farmer of today is in direct daily touch with everything that goes on. Good roads, the auto- mobile, delivers him in a few min- utes to a nearby village or town, where formerly it required hours. The telephone, radio, rural mail delivery gives him the same, and often better, advantages than his urgan neighbors. * 3% / The greater portion of Cam- bria Co. farmers of today are shrewd businessmen. The oper- ation of a successful farm re- quires that they be so. Success- ful farming today requires much that the early farmer never imagined. Modern mach- inery, scientific methods, and a united cooperation for the bene- fit of all, has taken most all the guesswork out of farming. Cam- bria Co. can well be proud of its agricultural fraternity. * k ok It won't be long now until the writer will have rounded out a year as a commissioner of Cam- bria Co. Perhaps there isno other job in all the county that en- counters daily the decisions, the problems, and vicissitudes of our population's cross section as does a member of the Board of Com- ) [2 Jn. missioners. Unless a member has the intestinal fortitude to be hard- boiled at times, he certainly would not be capable of filling his job. Sometimes he has to incur the wrath of his friends, but he can’t help these unpleasantries if he takes his oath of office seriously.
