EDITORIAL
OWNS 71,000 HOMES
The Federal government is definitely in the homeowning
business.
It owns 71,000 homes scattered from one end of the coun-
try to the other.
Title to the homes was acquired through foreclosure un-
/ der HOLC mortgages.
WHAT A DIFFERENCE
Any one passing over Main street any evening since the
gpening of the new movie, we feel certain was given a big
rprise. To see so many cars parked here nightly gives our
town quite a boost.
NOW is the golden opportunity for our business men.
Keep your display windows lighted and show these many
newcomers to our town just what you've got.
Better still, start advertising and keep it up, thereby telling
those same people all about your stock and your prices.
Getting customers to town is half the business battle. Sell-
ing them is not so difficult thereafter, particularly if you
have the right merchandise and the right prices.
Remember Mr. Business Man, now its entirely up to you.
THE WORLD'S CLEANEST MILK
The American dairy farmer can claim, without exaggera-
tion, that he provides the world’s cleanest milk.
For more than 20 years, a national war has been waged
gainst bovine tuberculosis. Today that war is drawing to a
ose, with the “enemy” almost completely routed. Bovine
berculosis exists on a substantial scale in only two of the
states, and the curative work is progressing rapidly in
h of them.
Dairymen are now turning their attention to two other
line diseases While these
ments are of little consequence to the consumer of milk,
by are of considerable moment to the farmer. It is be-
red that the diseases will be almost completely eradicated
a relatively brief time.
The war against bovine plagues, especially tuberculosis,

red that nowhere else in the world could he obtain dairy
products of a more sanitary nature than in this country.

DEATH BEGINS AT FORTY
A little booklet, “Death Begins at Forty,” in which it is
pointed out, that underlying reasons for America’s horrify-
ing automobile accident record in 1937 were “too much
speed and too little courtesy.”
“According to the booklet, statistics show that if one has an
accident while driving under forty miles an hour there is on-
ly. one chance in forty-four that somebody will be killed, but
il the accident comes while one is traveling faster than forty,
ere is one chance in nineteen that somebody will be killed.
briy-thousand-three-hundred persons met death in traffic
last year. Nearly forty per cent of these fatilities
were directly traceable to speed, and ninety-seven per cent of
drivers involved in fatal accidents had had one or more years
pf driving experience—in other words, they should have
nown better.

mark of ignorance, but when applied to the fast driver it is
a mark of manical disregard of human life. No amount of
“Syire-pulling” should allow such a person to escape punish-
ment.
* Laws in themselves cannot instill common sense and chiv-
alry in a road hog—only fear and respect for the law will do
that; and rigid; impartial enforcement is the club to use.
MASTERPIECE OF DESTRUCTION
_ The safety argument for the train length bill (a Federal
measure to restrict freight trains to 70 cars) has not a leg to
stand on, and anyone can see .that the operation of more
strains and the employment of more train crews will increase
the cost of railroad transportation. In the end, those ship-
who bought rail transportation would have to pay for
extra trains and crews.
The Interstate Commerce Commission has issued reports
ing the experience of many years, proving beyond qtes-
that longer trains are safer trains. Equally important,
are faster, more efficient trains. The passage of the
Ir train limit bill would not only add to the hazards of
pad operation and cost of service, but it would adverse-
fect all shippers, especially farmers.

Celebiaie with Us—~
the 3001 Anniversary of the
Founding of Pennsylvania
Authorized by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth;
the Governor has issued a proclamation declaring April 8, 1938,
a Legal Holiday in Pennsylvania, in order to celebrate—with
thanksgiving—300 years of *‘Godly Civilization’. It will be
called “‘Forefathers” Day" as part of a three-day celebration—
April 7th, 8th and 9th—throughout the State.
Three hundred years ago, on April 8th, 1638, a hardy band of
pioneers, led by Peter Minuit aboard the good ship Kalmar
Nyckel, four months out of Gothenberg, Sweden, landed on
these shores. They called their colony New Sweden. This was
the foundation of Pennsylvania civilization.
Towns and cities throughout the State will hold school exercises,
parades, air shows, ‘‘Forefathers’ Day’’ luncheons and dinners.
We cordially invite our friends from other States throughout the
Nation to participate. In Philadelphia there will be a giant
three-day celebration, climaxing on Saturday, April 9th, at
9:00 A.M. with a monster parade of Federal, Military and Naval
forces; the entire Penna. National Guard under General Shannon;
Police and Firemen; Patriotic, Civic and Fraternal organizations
and School groups; all to be reviewed by Governor Earle and
the 300th Anniversary Commission. Following will be a thrilling
iircraft demonstration by Natiodal Guard, State, Army and
Navy planes.
Plan right now to help Pennsylvania do honor to the noble
band of Swedes who founded it. Either join with your local com-
munity or plan a trip for this great Anniversary. Thirty thousand
miles of glorious, modern highways, throughout scenic and
historic Pennsylvania stretch out before you. Come by Motor,
by Train, by Bus. An old-fashioned welcome awaits you.
