EDITORIAL
BETTER DAY COMING
We doubt if there was ever a time
in the history of the world when a
people have held their heads as firmly
pS
" as have the citizens of the United
States during this depression. 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

Elects Officers

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.

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.

thing else at the lowest prices in 15 years; with the
purchasing power of your dollar greater today by
