THE EDITOR’S VOICE
SAFER AT SEA
sailors to profit by this tar’s ex-
perience. A Coatesville woman, 28,
was convicted of stealing $450 from
a 200 1b. 6-ft. sailor. The Judge
said “that merchant seaman would
be “safer at sea—torpedoes and all.”
Many service men “drop” their
long and hard earned cash just
that way when they get ashore.
Too bad!

: LOTTERIES
Representative Ramsey, a West
Virginia Democrat, has introduced
legislation authorizing the Treasury
Depariment to operate a lottery,
the winners to . be. paid in war
bonds.
We all Know: that Uncle Sam is
thumbs down on, lotteries. If its
wrong to gamble for cash ‘tahd'it is)
there’s no sane reason why war
bonds should be the go-between,
There’s no half-way business in
anything that’s wrong. There are
better ways than lotteries for sell-
ing war bonds.

A SUGGESTION
When you go through all of your
cid greeting cords and wonder
what to do with them you might
give this suggestion for disposing
of them seme thought. It will give
pleasure to others after you have
enjoyed seeing and reading the
special sentiments. One dislikes
throwing them away and so tucks
a few away as souvenirs, perhaps
frames another. But op the whole
mast greeting cards are thrown out.
Don’t do this, but give them to
children’s wards in hospitals, nurs-,
_eries and foundling homes or
wherever. children are entertained.’
for they like to cut out cards and.
make . scrapbooks of them. Per-
haps you know of cther worthy
“ways of sending them te be appre-
ciated, but take the trouble to dis-
“tribute them where they will give
joy to another after they served
‘their purpose with you.

A DIFFERENT STORY
Freezing labor in highly-paidin-
dustries is a far different story
than freezing lowpaid labor onthe
farm. | Farm labor frozen into its
job would soon be taking advan-
tage of the situation. Men forced
to stay in farm jobs at fixed wages,
while industrial labor enjoys high
. ‘wages, short hours and luxury liv-
ing, can be expected to become
resentful and shirk their work.
If American farmers are going
to be able to produce enough food
to win this war, it is time Wash-
ington took a realistic attitude to-
ward agriculture and adopted a
program thet will be practical,
workable and really helpful tothe
farm men and women who ask for
‘only two things: the same consid-
eration that labor receives; andan
oppartunity to help win this war
phy cessotin of bureaucratic theor-
g, regimentation and interfer-

Criticism of the administration
of affairs is essential to the health
of a democracy and never more so
than in time of war.

A MILITARY NECESSITY
A textbook on “Fire Prevention
Education,” has been published by
the Nations! Board of Fire Un-
derwriters. It is fer use by educa-
tors in the schools, and by civic
leaders as a guide in organizing
community fire prevention and
protection.
Part One contains an introduc
tien of fire prevention education
and choepters on organizing and
administering the schoel program;
principles of instructicn in fire
safety; and on materials and aeti-
vities for the elementary and
high schools.
Part Two opens with 2 discuss-
ion of the importance of conserv-
ing life and material resources.
Then follow chapters on organiz-
ing community fire preventica and
fine protection works selected com-
munity nd organizational activi-
ities; prevention ond control of
farm fires; forest fire prevention
and protection; public relations
and community fire safety; secur-
ing public, interest ‘and cogpera-
don through exhibifs and audio-
visual ‘aids; and community edu-
cation fof fire prcvention and
protection,
At a time when we, need every
last cunce of strength, fire preven-
tien js far more than a mere civic
duty. it is in the native of a mil-
itary" necessity. The National
Board, in publishing the present
the first of its kind, has ren-
dered an important public service.
It is making it available at less
than the cost of printing alone, 85
cents. with reduced quantity rates.
It is up to the educatorsand civic
leaders to take the fullest advan-
tage of that service.

YE OLD TIME STORE
When one speaks of the good old
days he may be right in bis yearn-
ing for certsin pleasures foregome,
of times of wused-fo-be when life
might have been mdre simply
sweet. In regard to one subject
he cannot deny that although the
old fashioned store was picture-
sque, it still couldnt be traded for
today’s modern food versicms., A
hundred years ago we can go back
as typicrl of ‘good old days’ and
find cursclves before groceries and
electricity and refrigeration, before
steinless steel, glass cases, spotless
walls and clean floors. The ac-
aounts were kept in what they
carclessly indexed as ‘the custom-
er’s book’ and the molasses came
in barrels. They spoke then of
varicus products in tubs, boxes.
barrels and firkins as today we
think in terms of sanitary con-
fainers with contents listed, test-
ed and sealed. Mackerel was in
salted strips and castile soap came
in huge sized bars with calico jost-
licy rum on the nearby counter.
These were when the stove was in
the center of the rcem and the
mesting place of the tewnsmen and
the box of sawdust wasn’t tcp far
off front! We consider all of it
somewhat in the light of a stage
setting for an - up-to-date movie,
but when it comes to buying food
stuffs we prize our today’s methed
if grocery keeping. We find great-
er variety, healthier foods with
more nourishment and more en-
joyment stressed in our eating. We
have many advantagesof improve-
ment which we take for granted
now that were undreamed of one
hundred yeas age, and in respect
to thic idea of grocery stores, we,
ncne of us in this community,
| want to go backwards!

Retired machinist back

used to be a first-class
machinist. Five years ago he re-
itired to live out the rest of his life
on a pension,
The other morning he showed up
again at his old plant, which now
makes war equipment, and asked
for his old job back. When payday
came, he signed up with the Pay-
roll Savings Plan to put 20% of
“his pay in War Bonds.
Seems Oscar's boy was on

STRONGER FIGHT URGED
Directors of the Pennsylvania Tu-
berculosis Society urge a united and
greater effort to combat tuberecu-
losis in these wartimes in a state-
ment as follows:
In this time of destructive world-
wide conflict it is of first importance
that as an aid to victory of the
United Nations everything possible
be dome to assure vigorous health
for all of the people in every com-
munity of Pennsylvania so that they
can give their full measure of needed
service.
In all past wars there has been
an increase in the prevalence of this
disease and in the toll of lives taker
by it. It is imperative to remember
that in our State more than 4,000
deaths were caused by tuberculosis
last year and that probably 40,000
people are afflicted with the disease.
And it is significant that thousands
of Pennsylvania young men exam-
ined for military service have been
rejected on account of tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis must not be per-.
mitted to secure a new foothold in
the midst of the vast struggle in
progress. All of the proven knowl-
edge that we have for effectively
fighting this enemy must be em-
ployed to hold gains made and to
advance further toward final .vie-

tory. There must be wholehearted i
and vigorous cooperative effort on
the part of physicians, official health
workers and the people generally.
The voluntary tuberculosis or-
ganizations, with officers and mem-
bers of integrity and responsibility
in their coupties and home commu-
nities, are prepared and anxious to
render the most’ effective possible
service in helping to conquer this
disease. As these organizations de-
pend upon the Christmas ‘Seal Sale
for funds with which to finance
their programs of work it is urged
by the Board of Directors of the
Pennsylvania Tuberculosis Society
that every person in the State con-
tribute generously in the 36th
Christmas Seal Sale campaign.

the Associated Press and 1,275
daily newspapers.
“If those who are determined to
freeze the press, succeed in achiev-
ing their cbjective, we may have
freedom of speech, but be deprived
of freedom to spezk, because the
facilities and instrumentalities of
cdmmunicztion will be frozen for
the duration znd only those gov-
ernmental officials and agencies be-
yond censorship control will be
@ble to use them.
“Under tbe clock of war emerg-
ency, the American way of life is
being profoundly changed by law,
by directives, by cxecutive orders,
by judicial decisions, by consent
decrees and by accomplished facts
which the people are told about
after the events.”
Dean Ackerman pcinted out that
insofar as cersorship ¢f war acti-
vity was necessary to the success
of war plens, no one has a right
to object and no journalist would
purposely give 2id or comfortto an
enemy, but he said the present at-
tack cn the press “has mo justifica-
tion whatsoever by the necessities
of war. The object of that suit is
not to preserve the freedom of the
press but to freeze the press into
a new mold, not during the war
but in perpetuity.”
And in that last sentence Dean
Ackerman points out a growing
danger to freedom in the United
States—freedom of the individual,
freedcm of industry and freedom
of progress. The loyalty
of our people and their willingness
to give their sons, their daughters
and ! their i. worldly © possessions to
once and 'for all stamp out the
threat of foreign dictatorship in
America, must net be used as a
serdéen behind which political agen-
cies can freeze the nation into al,
new mold of restricted rights after
the war,

Margaret turned off the hum-
ming vacuum cleaner, and
straightened the slipcovers of the
a and the daybed that she
had pushed up to go over the rug.
Then she stood quite still in the
doorway and looked at, the small
bedroom with its southern expos-
ure. It was as neat and imperson-
al asia pin: It'might never have
been lived in. The door stood
en on the clean, bare closet.
There was not a pennant, not a
team picture, not even so much
as an old Arith-
metic book left
to show whose
room it had
once been.
Margaret
stared at the
walls, the furni-
ture,anddeeply,
slowly, she real-
ized that no
matter what
lodgers with their own trinkets
and pictures might occupy it, she
would always see it the old way.
It was the old way that she saw it
now. A pair of hard-wern gray
pants lay on the floor where they
had been dropped. Three base-
ball bats were stacked with a fish-
ing rod in the corner. A battered
red cap with a letter on it lay on
‘the bed. And through the bed, as
though it were transparent, Mar-
‘garet saw another bed, smaller,
and with high slatted sides.
She put the vacuum cleaner
away and went down to her desk
in the sitting-room. She took the
fifteen dollars rent that the new
lodger had paid that morning in
advance for the room, and added
to ‘it, from her purse, three dol-
lars ‘and seventy-five cents more.
Then she drew out a sheet of pa-
per and began to write on it,
slowly, gravely.
