EDITORIAL
“It seems inconsistent for the government to prosecute oil
companies and others on a charge of price-fixing and mono-
polistic control. ...while that same government is spending
hundreds of millions in the Tennessee Valley in an effort to
monopolize and control the price of electric current.”

Out at Bell Center, Wis., they elected a 23-year-old 205
lb. Miss as constable. Now that’s the right idea. Frequent-
ly when our Cop arrests a chap, particularly if he has one
drink too many, he resists. Can you imagine the difference
when that young lady walks up to a man, taps him on the
shoulder and says: “Go along with me young fellow.”
Many weeks ago the State authorities consented to “go
along with Mount Joy township supervisors in the building
of a sidewalk between here and Florin. At the time those
in authority said the “work will begin March 15. One month
has elapsed since the beginning” date and nothing was done.
There may be a good reason for this delay but we are just
as impatient as the firemen. We want to see it started and
most sincerely hope it wasn’t just another one of those polit-
ical promises.
The American Viscose Co., at Marcus Hook, largest manu-
facturers of rayon in the world, will move its plants” there
and at Lewistown, Pa. to Front Royal, Va. because of
excessive taxes. Their plant in Virginia paid $4,200.00 taxes
last year and the one at Marcus Hook paid $105,117.00 They
employ between 7,500 and 8,000 workers.
This is just one of many of our state’s industries that is
moving out of the state to avoid high taxes. Our great manu-
facturing state, one of the leading in the United States, is
slipping and slipping fast.

For those who wish to learn a lesson, there is a deadly
parallel between the financial failure of Richard Whitney,
prominent New York stock broker and a former head of the
New York Stock Exchange, and our national program of
“spending” the nation into prosperity.
The depression overtook Mr. Whitney as it did the nation.
After exhausting all his resources, he misappropriated funds
to try to save his business. The result is an indictment for
grand larceny, to which he has pleaded guilty.
For five years, our government has been drawing on the
resources of its citizens and borrowing huge sums in their
name, with the hope that by “spending,” it could counteract
the economic forces that created the depression. Mr. Whit-
ney took other people’s money unlawfully. The govern-
ment, while not taking the money unlawfully, is neverthe-
less dissipating it and continuously spending far beyond its
income.
Mr. Whitney and the government, in their endeavor to go
counter to economic laws, court disaster. The day of reckon-
ing has overtaken Mr. Whitney sooner than it will the gov-
ernment which has the power to spend the last dollar of its
citizens’ resources.
Can our lawmakers not learn a lesson from the Whitney
tragedy as it applies to the handling of other people's money?
Although they can squander the people’s wealth lawfully, the
result will be the same for the public as though they had
misappropriated it unlawfully.

beautifying movement—old shacks are
lots are cleaned of debris, homes are painted, grass-grown
fields are cut and the harvest burned. It’s amazing how little
is needed in many cases to change a squalid street to one
that is pleasant and charming to the eye.
Furthermore, something other than a better looking town
results from a clean-up week that is loyally and enthusiastic-
ally supported by all citizens. For a sound, thorough clean-
up process is one of the best possible ways of getting rid of
fire hazards. A town which rids itself of old, unused build-
ings, and which does away with litter and grass-ridden lots,
becomes a far safer place in which to live and work.
Clean-up week should not stop at exteriors. Everyone
should go through his hoine inside as well as out in search of
fire dangers. A congested attic or basement, filled with an-
cient magazines and broken furniture and clothes that will
never be used again, is the perfect starting place for a blaze.
Frayed or amateurishly repaired light cords, improperly
stored inflammable liquids, dirty or worn heated units—
from such things as these come fires that destroy hundreds
of millions of dollars worth of property and thousands of
lives." |
Every town should make this year's clean-up week the
most thorough in its history. It’s an easy job, il everyone

CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTS
TO DO DOUBLE DUTY
The strings of outdoor Christ-
mas tree lights appear to be due
for some double duty in many
families during this summer.
Fitted with white bulbs they will
have a prominent part in plans
for home garden lighting, which
stunt has caught popular fancy
because of the many decorative
effects possible so inexpensively.
Properly placed lights enable
flower lovers to enjoy their gardens
after nightfall. Shrubbery and
plants take on a new beauty under
electric illumination. Lights used
with reflectorg set off homes, trees
and bushes in effective relief with
an endless variety of silhouette
effects to challenge individual in-
genuity and taste.
