THE EDITOR’S VOICE M. L. Annenberg, or his representatives, have proposed a compromise in that tax case with Uncle Sam. They want to settle by paying a measly eight million dollars. Jno. Up in Union County, a man went into the woods Mem- orial Day and decorated his father’s grave. He was arrested for trespassing and put to jail. His father originally owned the land, died, was buried there, the State bought the woods, and established a game farm there. We're asking: Is That Fair? Both Are Very Beautiful Any person visiting either the Eberle or Mount Cemeteries over Memorial Day, and there were hundreds, saw two of the most be: witiful and best ke pt burial grounds to be found in the State. The caretakers are to be complimented on their untir- ing efforts in keeping these final resting places in order. Joy A Decided Success Our Memorial Day celebration record, and it was a credit to every individual who in any Everything was so well arranged and passed is now a matter of way assisted. ofl in routine order.

Joy Townships are constructing a large bridge as a boundary on the road from Mastersonville to Colebrook. steel bridge across the Swatara Creek, just east of Middle- town, puts the structure out of commission. As a result, motorists are inconvenienced by a detour over along the river and around hazardous cutves in Middletown. Why don’t the Highway Department replace this worn out two-lane structure with a modern bridge and settle the trouble once and for all? Mistake At This Time The heighth of labor's ungratefulness is the fact that at Kearney, New Jersey, 6,000 employes on warships have struck for more pay. If things like this happen in case we need preparedness equipment, what might happen to our country, our homes and its people. The authorities should insist on such men working and settle their differences while the wheels of industry are making whatever we need to protect us at the present time. Its Costly Fun? It's fun to follow the fire engines. It's always a thrill to see the great red trucks hurtling past, with their sirens screaming. And it’s fun to watch a fire. There is a primi- tive excitement in the sight of flame and smoke, and the sound of crackling wood. But, if we go beyond the superficial sensory pleasures, and start to think about what fire means, the fun is spoiled immediately. For fire is the grimmest of disasters. Fire kills some 10.000 Americans each year. people meet the most horrible of deaths—and every one of them die in vain. Directly and indirectly, America’s fire bill runs close to $2,000,000,000 each year. That money would build 100,- 000 excellent homes. It would buy three million good new It would supply 2,000,000 people with jobs These automobiles. at over $80 per month cach. It would provide 4,000,000 families with subsistence relief. To the individual, fire may be the most ghastly of ex- periences. It may mean death and injury. It may mean the loss of a job. It may mean the burning of irreplaceable possessions. It may mean ruin and despair and privation. For fire has no mitigating circumstances—it has no silver lining. It represents destruction, pure and complete. Consider this next time the fire engines scream Consider this next time vou see smoke and flame and feel the angry heat of a burning building. And then it will seem more fun to help prevent a fire than to watch one! We, however, have some consolation right here in Lancaster County. Al the annual meeting of our county firemen Saturday it was reported that our fire loss was greatly reduced last year. Ball And Chain On Industry For the development of any economic enterprise three human factors are The first is the inventor, who has the idea for a new device or a new method or a new product; the second is the investor, who has sufficient confidence in the inventor's dream to give him the necessary capital to develop it; the third is the administrator or man- ager, who can organize the business and keep it going. | believe that we have more men in these three categories in America today than ever before in our history. by. a necessary. grade school faculty.
