THE EDITOR'S VOICE
The pedestrian may have the right of way, if he lives
to argue about it!
There are a lot of drivers who drive in a log most of
the time, that is, a mental fog.

There should be a law passed that you can’t start a new
war until you have paid for your old one.
Local Chamber of Commerce please take notice. A
rolling mill is making an effort to locate at Middletown and
a large cigar factory at Lilitz.
We hope Mount Joy can land a new induslry as it has
been some time since we have been benefited industrially
by a new or additional plant.
Help At Home
Each has answered in his own way, the general appeal
to assist in the local drives for community welfare work.
We should be concerned about the pitiable state of health
and living that is not so far from our doors but that we can
* hear the calls for help. To those cries from lands abroad
we are being heedful and supporting. But we must re-
member that winter will be equally hard on our own un-
fortunates who will be as cold and as hungry. Those about
our community who are ill and discouraged will need pro-
tection and contributions. Many have been the calls made
upon our purses and on our time. Sometimes we stop to
question and halt to consider personal limited means but
there will be a way to protect those within our gates, for
as they say, “that is the American way”.

As well as appealing fo the eye they have added features for |
safety which appeals to the better judgment. Auto engin-

selves with the installing of greater glass area both front]
and sides, sealed-beam lighting for night riding, special
lights for fog, extra signal lights, new widths in seating
arrangements, all-steel bodies and new type frame struc-
tures, improvements in safety glass, eliminating of shock
to the steering wheel, new sort of tires for wet pavements,
special kind of air-conditioning and so on. We should leave
much of this to some salesman who will delight in giving
you the dope first handed.
Forward, Potatoes
As most of us already know, Germany produces almost
ten times the average U. S. potato crop. Being the world’s
largest producer she has turned attention to utilizing this
potato for something else besides eating and has put it to a
test for industrial purposes. Germany consumed about
30% of the crop for food, 15% to seed, 38% for feeding
live stock and 10% lossage. The remainder they are trying
