Agrees With Editorial
R. D. 3, Wyoming, Pa.
hursday, October 4, 1945
Dear Mr. Risley,
There's something rugged about
your editorials that I like. Especi-
ally the one last week about Adult
Delinquency. When you say ‘we
expect children not to follow our
example” you express a fallacy in
It is
not when we say didactically ‘now
children listen to me while I tell
you what to do” that we do our
most teaching. But every move
and act, yes, and even our thoughts,
opinions, and dispositions ‘‘teach”
our children. You put your finger
on a sore spot in our life also when
you said “That was before a sloppy,
sentimental government laughed at
frugality, foresight, judgement, self-
reliance and strength. of character.”
That sentence reminds me of a
paper I have before me, a draft of
a movement called “The Order of
the living Christ.” This “Order”
proposes a spiritual advance by
taking up several disciplines of soul,
and among others “By those per-
sonal disciplines of obedience, sim-
plicity, ‘humility, frugality, gener-
osity, charity, truthfulness and pur-
ity which have proven to be indis-
pensable to the release of the power
of Christ within the soul.” If we
have lost these virtues—God have
mercy on us!
You see, you are. not altogether
alone in this longing for a more
sturdy ‘character in contemporary
American life. It is a hopeful thing
among signs when ‘here and there
individuals ‘like yourself and this
“Order of the Living ‘Christ” layout
put -us all on the spot and hold a
mirror up in front of our eyes and
the sight is not too good! Your
editorial is a kind of ‘‘going over”
that we need.
And don’t let anybody throw it
up to you that you shouldn't talk
about raising children! You are
telling the truth. Keep it up.
Cordially yours,
Charles H. Gilbert
Waste Paper Salvage
i September 28, 1945
Dear Mr. Risley:
Chairman Edwin S. Friendly has
written to you that the U. S.
Victory Waste Paper Campaign, as
conducted by the newspapers of
America, has come to a successful
conclusion.
On behalf of the American News-
paper Publishers Association I wish
to thank each of you who has
given so generously of your time
‘and space to make this campaign
the great war contribution that it
was.
~ When Donald M. Nelson, then
Chairman of the WPB, appealed to
us to launch a waste paper cam-
~ paign, the nation’s paperboard mills
were facing a serious crisis. A slow-
down of military shipments was ap-
parent. But the record is clear
that it was the newspapers of Amer-
ica that initiated and carried on a
successful war program of vital im-
- portance.
We are now handing the responsi-
bility of salvaging waste paper over
to the paper and paperboard in-
dustry. ' There is still a great need
for it in our reconversion program.
I know that you can be counted
upon to do all you can in your
community to help meet. that need.
Again my thanks for your aid
in this splendid campaign of which
"you can be justly proud.
Sincerely yours,
W. Y. Chandler

airplane to which he was assigned
in superior mechanical condition
thereby enabling it to be flown
thirty-nine missions from March 9
to August 14, 1945. Most of this |
work was performed during hours
of darkness, under adverse weather
and climatic conditions. In spite
of overwhelming physical fatigue
imposed by unusually long hours
of hard work, he accomplished ex-
ceptional maintenance. Although
many necessary tools were un-
available, Sergeant Davis, through
his own ingenuity devised and em-
ployed many field expedients and
substitutes. The leadership, tech-
nical ability, and determination dis-
played by Sergeant Davis were vital
factors contributing to the success
of the B-29 raids from the Marian-
nas Islands against the enemy,
thereby reflecting great credit on
himself and the Army Air Forces.
h DL ing
Sergeant Davis, better known as
“Bud” has since been promoted to
Technical Sergeant. He graduated
from Lehman High School Class of
1932, and entered the Army No-
vember 2, 1942. He has been over-
seas 12 months and is stationed on
Saipan. “Bud” is the son of Mrs.
Esther Davis of Idetown. His plane
was named for his four year old
niece Janice E. daughter of Sea-
man and Mrs. Al Rinken of Idetown.
