THE EDITOR'S VOICE
a
etna
This week our good citizens were solicited for funds
to be used toward defraying the expense of our Memorial
Day Celebration. We have always had a very, creditable
demonstration here and cach ‘year the committee does its
very best.
Remember its the contributors who actually say what
kind of a celebration we shall have and we sincerely hope |
you all were as generous as possible.
Congratulations, Mr. Grube
We want to commend John Harry Grube upon having
been re-appointed and confirmed as postmaster at Landis-
ville for another term. Mr. Grube is a faithful, accommo-
dating and very efficient official and is deserving of the ap-
pointment. Ei
Let Business Alone
The Supreme Court at Pittsburgh Thursday declared
unconstitutional an ordinance passed at Philadelphia, stipu-
lating hours when barber shops there must open and close
Lancaster City has such an ordinance.
Just such things as the above is what is wrong with
business today. Let the business man alone—he will work
out his own financial. problems, but how on earth can he
do it if Uncle Sam ties his legs and arms?
Our Views On Business
Business is marking lime.

cant upward trend has yet appeared.
The downward trend evi-
Steel production is at a materially lower level than last
yvear—due largely to the fact that production was ahead of
consumption in 1939.
Automobile production is running ahead of the level of
a year ago, and late estimates indicate that 14,250,000 cars!
will be made this year, as against 3,750,000 in 1939.
Domestic construction goes ahead. This year’s houses

Churches Should Advertise
Can any person give us one good reason why churches
shouldn't advertise. If you do welll give you ten for each
one why they should.
Trinity Lutheran Church at New Holland, used a 12-
inch newspaper ad to invite people to its fourth annual home
ning service and hear Dr. Melhorn; the Myerstown male
nd a Sunday School Orchestra.
