COLUMBUS DAY
We are remitided that we are just
as old as we think we are when we
years, It sounds almost like a youhg:
man’s undertaking, it? ‘That
man cf 57 years had to surmount:
mary obstacles, had to overcome the
superstitious belief that monsters
would devour the ships, try to se-
cure a crew, get money to finance
(the journey and continue to hold
forth the belief that the werld was
round and not flat. Columbus is
rightfully listed as an adventurer.
He had courage and persistence and
figith to. bring him his discovery and
then fate twrmed him back to his
country to make of him a prisoner
who died in his jail. This nation that
was thought to be India in 1492, has
come a long ways. Today our men
are adventuring to the lands of the
early explorers, are equally as cour-
ageous and persistent and faithful.
They well know the world is not
flat, but many of these Americans
kave never been outside of their na-
tive state to see whether this fact is
true. These lads of ours have charts,
maps and instruments of the finest,
to steer them on their course. They
are in modern ships and manned by
2 skillful crew. They are tasting of
as daring adventure as any Colum-
bus. There are men scrving who are
as old as Columbus in 1492, but for
the mest part our adventurers are
youths. They see new lands with the
eyes cf the young. Character is not
a standard of years, as anyone can
tell you.

TIME TO ENCOURAGE
SURPLUSES
When the tankers on the Atlantic
coast were cut off by war, everyone
could understand why gasoline and
fuel oil had to be rationed in that
area, espceially when our armed
furces across the Atlantic had to be
supplied from the Eastern seaboard.
But. what the public cannet un-
derstzx:d is that when it is a matter
of record that our crude oil supplies
are being used several times as fast
as new sources are being discovered,
a Federal pelicy is maintained of
poscible. return does not justify risk
of preduction.
It is one thing to hold prices to a
to held them at unreasonably low
levels when all costs of production,
taxation, have
been advanced to record high levels.
It hes . often been necessary to
grant wage and price increases to
meet changing conditions. That does
not mear uncontrolled inflation. In-
stead, it means encouragement of
production which increzses supplies.

Dear Mr. Schroll:
After having received the Mount
Joy Bulletin free for the past three
years, I think it is about time I ex-
press my appreciation for sending
us’ service men the home town pa-
per. When I express my apprecia-
tion I think that also goes for all the
other local service men that have
been receiving the paper.
Some times this life gets awful
dull and tiresome, and makes a
fellow wish he was back home, and
having all the good times he once
had. Then along comes the Bulletin
with all the news of the folks in the
locality that was once your home,
and up goes your morale to a high-
er percenage than it was before
reading all the news.
Thank you so very much for send-
ing me the Bulletin, and I wish you
and all your staff the best of luck
throughout; these trying times and
throughout all the years after peace
has come. Just keep. buying War
Bonds and stamps and hope that all
of us can come home some day and
live in the peace that rightfully be-
longs to us as Americans.

The Bulletin, Mt. Joy:
Dear Sir,
I deeply regret that I have not
sent yeu sooner, my thanks and
deepest appreciation for sending me
the Mount Joy Bulletin. The two
things a soldier enjoys most to read,
are his letters from home and the
home town paper.
The Bulletin keeps me posted on
all the home town news and hap-
penings. This sort of thing tends to
ease the monotony of Army life.

naissance agent, I have been “very
