A less sane and level-headed citizenery would have gone into hysteria and would have precipitated a crash which would have totally wrecked the country. Keep this cheering thought in mind and hope for the best. It is coming. BORROWING DON'T PAY DEBTS Let us impress on the people that we can not borrow ourselves out of debt; that our debts are interest debts; that we have violated the divine law “take thou no usury;” that we have put money above ourselves to serve it as abject slaves. The creator slave to the thing he has made, issue and control money are sovereign functions of the States which can never be delegated to private interests without serious con- sequences to both the government and the individual. MAYOR CERMAK “I'm glad it was me instead of you.” These patriotic words, delivered by Anton J. Cermak, Chicago,” martyred executive, after he was pierced by the bullet intended for President-elect Roosevelt, will ride down through the history’s halls. They will take their place along with others delivered by courageous men with the grim spectre of death hovering nearby. “I'm glad it was me instead of you.” Some grammatical purists may criti- cize the syntax, the phrasing, but none can find flaws with the sentiment there- in. It was the expression of a native Bohemian, turned American, who had learned to love his adopted courgry. \_ CIRCULATING MONEY There is money enough in the coun- try, if it would only circulate faster. An active Lincoln cent, hopping around from one place to another, und helping liquidate debts and start up Wusiness, accomplishes more than a hoarded dol- lar, whose cold feet starts nothing. The activity of business is measured by the rapidity with which money cir- culates. When people pay their bills as promptly as they can, they keep money in circulation. Such prompt payment promotes confidence, and en- courages people to extend credit with full assurance they will get their money back. If you want to do your share to start up business, pay cash as much as you can, and pay bills as promptly as you can. A MAN OF ACTION President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in the first weeks of his incumbency, is showing indications of being a man of action, and the national crisis needs action more than it needs anything else. The time has passed for words and endless discussion, for investiga- tion, detailed study, analyses, tempor- ization and compromise. When a con- flagration is raging, boards of strategy must suspend and all forces go into action to combat the flames. The new president’s frankness, his fearlessness, his bold courage and his determination to meet the forces of de- pression at close grips and with all the weapons at command have been clear- ly revealed. The swift, decisive manner in which he is moving in a crisis is reassuring to a people who have grown tired of waiting hopelessly for a break in the clouds. SMILING THROUGH THE BANK HOLIDAY The theme song of the new ex- perience through which the people passed during the past two weeks, might easily carry the merry lilt: “Mis- ter, Can You Cash A Check?” When a man whose check was good had to rob the baby’s bank for lunch money—the situation appealed to the American sense of humor. The readiness to see and enjoy the amusing side of the cash and credit crisis in an accurate index to American character. Give the American people a square deal and they are ready to take the bit- ter with the sweet—and like it. No self-appointed pacifiers shouting “Be calm” are needed to avert trouble. They are not needed because there is no resentment, nor self-pity, nor sense of hardship, when the new deal is a square deal; when everybody, rich man and poor man, big shot and dud, is treated alike; when neither political pull nor social influence made one man’s check better then another's—if Share were funds on deposit to cover President Roosevelt restored con- fidence when he proceeded to do a job | The Auto Club Elects Officers (From page one) lice and the state highway patrol was passed by the club on recommenda- tion of George E. Downey, Lancaster city’s representative in the state legis- lature. Mr. Downey said he was con- vinced that it would be detrimental to both the state police and the highway patrol to attempt to conbine the two forces. In his annual report Mr. Gable set forth that the membership renewal rate during the past year was ninety per cent. and that 1,094 new members had been admitted. “This gives ample proof,” he stated, “that our service and protection is appreciated by our mem- bership. We maintained our position during the past year among the lead- ing clubs of the American Automobile Association, standing ninth among the 1,000 A. A. A. clubs in the membership figures as of January 1, 1933.” Commenting on the report of the treasurer, he said: “Without any ‘de- pression’ whatsoever in our services, but rather with two additional services —the $5,000 bail bond certificate and an assistant solicitor—we were able to show a surplus of $2,312.76 at the end of the year....This is due largely to our rather low overhead and the rigid economy followed in the business mat- ters of the club.” During the year, the report set forth the club handled 2,517 highway emer- gency calls for members, at a total cost of $5,398.95. Under the personal ac- cident policy that goes with member- ship, sixty-five claims, amounting to $9,733.10, were paid. Six of these were death claims, four of them for $1,000, one for $1,100 and one for $1,200. In addition $500 was paid to a member for loss of an eye in an automobile ac- cident. Of the disability claims paid, four were for the full thirteen weeks at $15 a week, each totalling $195, and fifty-four others ranged in sums from $15 to $180. Under the heading of safety, the re- port reviewed the club’s activities in connection with the school patrols of Lancaster city and county. “The club may well lay claim to being the ‘path- finder’ to safety insofar as the children of our public, parochial and private schools are concerned,” Mr. Gable said. “It was this organization that, together with the city administration, through its police department, organized the first school patrols in Lancaster as early as 1928. Since that time the school pa- trol has grown by leaps and bounds and, in organization and results, stands second to none in Pennsylvania. The Lancaster city administration has done excellent work in organizing and su- pervising the patrols in the city schools, under the direction of Officer Carl W. Wenninger, and much credit is due to the municipal officials and to Mr. Wen- ninger for this service.” The report also told of the organiza- tion during the year of a vigilance com- mittee of 150, authorized to report care- less and reckless drivers, and major infractions of the law. Commendation Highway Patrol for their good work and for their fine cooperation with the club at all times. The report expressed thanks to the newspapers for the fine co-operation given to the club through- out the year. Under the heading ‘‘accomplish- tion of danger and direction signs; the club’s activities in connection with the stockyards bridge, the Eden bridge, the Kirk’s bridge and the Hinkletown bridge projects; the part played in bringing about elimination of the East End bridge “bottleneck;” the club's successful crusade against short meas- ure in gasoline helping to secure con- struction of many miles of new high- way in Lancaster county, and other ac- complishments. Mr. Forney, in his annual report, warned motorists to guard against buy- ing from strangers and urged patroniz- ing home merchants and local indus- try. “Don’t buy anything from strang- ers,” he said, “unless you are abso- lutely sure of the proposition they of- fer you. Buy at home, where you can see what you buy.” Chas. W. Eaby, solicitor, reported handling 595 cases for club members during the year, and collecting a total of $5,800 in damage claims. John L. Hamaker, assistant solicitor, handled 173 cases and collected $1,084 for mem- bers. For the sign committee Frank M Abel, chairman, reported that dange and direction signs had been erected in various parts of the county, that a number of school and church zone signs had been put up and that, among the highways signed was the River Road from Columbia through Washington Boro and Safe Harbor to the end of the road at the Penn Hill meeting house. mitted at the meeting.

PRICES today are below “sea-level”, if we may be permit- ted to use the phrase as a simile for par. They're actually “sub” pric- es in the sense that many commod- dities, and principally the necessities of life, are being sold below cost of production, or at least be- low the cost at which merchants, manufacturers and wage-earners can continue to produce them and maintain normal standards of living. What, then, is the inevitable result? Prices must come “up for air” . . .national and individual prosperity demands it and the upturn is immediately in the offing. Today's prices are depress- ion prices. They can only be com- pared with prices during other periods of depres- sion of past years....they cannot remain in this country any more than depression can continue in a country so basically prosperous in resources, in en- terprise, in wealth, in commercial and industrial leadership. These are conditions which will, and are already, adjusted them- selves. . .by inevitable laws of economics. We've reached the low... and at the low is the time to buy.
