the Bulletin, which makes this paper’s circulation practically double that
of the average weekly.
THE EDITOR'S VOICE
When you find yourself wondering why the world
doesn’t get better any faster just check up on yourself. How
much better are you than you were a year ago, five years
ago, or ten years ago?
As near as we can size lhings up, it looks as though
our Militia will be: called about January 1st. That will
take a large number of young men out of industry, so why
not let the manufacturers forget the 40 and 42-hour law and
*go to town”? That would help preparedness considerably.
A Wise Move, Indeed
A request was made Thursday to the State Department
of Highways to ercct warning signs for motorists at ap-
proaches to points where children wait daily for school
buses during the school year.
The greater precaution we motorists observe during
the coming nine months, will be time and effort well spent.
Let us all be careful when driving in the vicinity of
schools and along highways upon which scholars travel.
Please Watch This
In order to register vour approval, or disapproval as
you may term it, in the coming November elections, it is
necessary for you to grab vour hat and hie yourself to the
September primary in order that you may nominate your
choice through this necessary step in the American system
of voting. You can’t do much good at the primaries unless
you are registered in your district as a recognized voter.
Those folks who have moved since the last election or did
not exercise their right of voting, or transferred from an-
other district, must put forth a bit of extra effort. Exercise
your right as an American citizen, being grateful for this
power and prayerful that such a right be not taken away
from you.
“God Bless America”
Many a local resident goes about whistling a song that
pleases his fancy. It isn’t a love-sick ditty or a jitter jig.
but a patriotic air that is catchy and stirring. It recently
caught the nation’s fancy when it played an important part
in both of the political campaigns. The song was written
in 1917 when Irving Berlin composed it for a patriotic
musical show. However, it went to sleep and nothing was
heard from it until Kate Smith gave it life and feeling on a
radio broadcast on Armistice evening in 1938. “God Bless
America” is now sung with fire and fervor and seems to be
a national anthem. Due to the radio this air is popularized
to such an extent that it really does ring, “From the moun-
tains, to the prairies, to the oceans white with foam”. It is
easy for any voice to handle and this helps make it a hit.
With the many stores selling lapel pins of colored Am-
erican flags, of ladies bracelets, of small flags fastened by
chains, of emblems for coats bearing the words, “God Bless
America”, we are having a wave of patriotism that isn’t all
hysterical. This song is sung in public assemblies, open air
meetings, baseball games, band concerts. Perhaps you did
not know that Irving Berlin gels no money as profit from
the thousands of sheets of this music that are sold. Every
penny goes to the Girl and Boy Scouts. “God Bless America,
my home, sweet home”.
Larger Families?
With many American homes
coming winter will bring to us in the way of prices in food,
rents and clothing cests, a sociologist us to bear in
mind the diminishing young and that if America desires to
continue as a first rate power she must forget the ideal “two-
child” family and raise a brood of four. It seems that as
wondering what this
asks
our population grows less and our force weaker, the onlyls
solution of regaining the position of one of the “boss” na-
tions is by increasing the birth rate. Many a reader will
voice an objection lo the sociologists opinion! There are
many large families around here and they are an asset to
our community. Not so easy for parents to hold them
together, not so easy to make the great number of sacrifices
necessary to raise this family, but up they spring to become
a credit to their training and their parentage. Those who
have reared one or two children had their own
but not so many of them as the ones facing the four-child
household. Perhaps this scares our modern young married
couples for seldom do they marry and anticipate a family
of four children. It seems generally that the fewer, the
better. This may not come from purely selfish reasons, but
due to an economical situation. They tell us that through
wars, epidemics, expansion and unfitness the problem of
our diminishing young is a real problem.
