THE EDITOR'S VOICE |

General Motors and the Chrysler
Corporation have ahnounced their
plants will be closed within the
week on account of the coal strike
—and the authorities are permit-
ting Lewis to get away with it. The
way things look today he could get
away with murder.
® 00
Now it looks like trouble right
here at home. We have a number
of High school bands in this county
and the Musicians’ Union has de-
manded cancellation of these bands
in Memorial Day parades. A large
number of them have already been
engaged.
® 00
The United States has allotted
one-fourth of our 1946 wheat pro-
duction to war relief. This greatly
curtails bread supplies here as well
as other comumodities.
And to think it wasn’t so lung
Bgo that: this same Government
paid farmers for plowing down (not
growing) this much needed grain.
‘Just some more cockeyed legisla-
ition that doesn’t make sense.
ooo
Now Johm Lewis has changed his
tune but it still sounds very sour to
Ambsigans. . He wanted a royalty
of ten. gents a ton on all coal mined
which “would have netted about
$50,000,000 annually. Now he only
| (7) wanis seven percent. of each
, coal operator's pay roll which will
"met an estimated $80,000,000 annual-
i for a “miners’ health and wel-
fare fund. He's certainly getting
tough.
®
WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT?
With production lines closed, au-
tomobiles in great demand, worn
«ut vehicles on the highways caus-
ing accidents when they should be
on the scrap pile, the United States
Government permits from 25,000 to
41,000 passenger cars, jeeps and mo-
torcycles,the speedometers of which
show only 4,000 miles, to rust, rot,
and deteriorate at the Atlanta, Ga.
Ordnance Depot. They don’t even
try to dispose of them.
oes
WHAT IS WRONG HERE?
We read about so many road im-
provement projects thruout Lancas-
ter county but certainly can’t un-
derstand why this community is be-
ing high hatted. A dirt road south of
Columbia is being macadamized, a
, Toad north of Manheim is being wi-
dened and improved, and here.
nothing at all is being done to re-
lieve traffic on a narrow 2-lan:
highway that accommodates more
trucks than does the Lincoln High-
way. We deserve more considera-
tion.
® 00
FJRUTH WILL OUT
Even though many of us suspect-
ed, there was insufficient authen-
ticity comcexming political accusa-
tions on the Lewis-Roosevelt con-
nection until recently when Harold
Ickes exploded. Ickes, a cabinet
member throughout the Roosevelt
rule, says John Lewis contributed
$3500,00000 to elect Roosevelt and in
1940, he, Lewis, supparted Willkie,
scolding Roosevelt for his ingrati-
tude. But Lewis and his labor un-
ions “made” Roosevelt and as Pres-
ident Truman said he will carry
out the wishes of his predecessor,
do you think for a moment he will
cross Lewis’ path by trying to co-
erca him and his coal strikers? A
thousand times NO.

SPRING PICK-UP
A delectable dish is one of Spring
greens, for this season one desires
the taste of fresh, green, sprouty
growing things that make good pro-
wender. It brings memories to old-
sters of days of youth when we
sought the greens. Call them weeds
5 vou will, these dandelions, wild
turnips, mustard, poke-weed. Per-
haps you like lamb’s quarter touch-
ed with a piece of salt pork.
They tell us that the woods furnish
many an edible growth for our own
goed, but unknown to wus. Violet
is suppesed to lend ifself to a dainty
salad. Skunk cabbage is a fine
dish to tempt a gourmet. And even
ic of molasses, sulphur or any of
those elixirs to restore a spring-
time pep.

NOT MUCH BETTER
May and June are the peak
months for butter manufacture and
this may lead to hope am:mg house-
wives that chances will be greater
for buying at this time. However,
the government has contracted for
sixty million pounds to supply the
army and military hospitals for the
next 12 months, and this makes a
dent in production figures. Then,
too, consumer is demanding butter
for an all time high. The total pro-
duction for the year is estimated far
below the pre-war output. So from
this, it would seem that our pros-
pects of getting the golden spread
will be worse next Fall and Winter
than last. Maybe we are getting
used to meorgarine, or jelly spread,
but the prospect doesn’t dismay us
—remembering that many people in
the world haven't the bread upom
which to put any spread.

MERCHANT MARINE
The first steamship to cross the
Atlantic was an American vessel
named the Savennzh and its voyage
was in 1819. Since 1933 our coun-
try bas observed May 22 as Nation-
al Maritime Day, with ceremonies
and tributes to the Merchant Ma-
rine. Their courage and determi-
nation is recognized by all. Deliv-
aring the goods, in war and peace,
they well deserve praise for accom-
plischment. It is a man’s job and
they run the hazards and face the
attack that battle offers a nation at
war. This life line to our fighting
forces did not fail and their contri-
bution to the winning of the fight is
beyond our power to state. We
greatly express our respect and long
may the American Merchant Marine
wave !

DID HITLER WIN?
It was for Hitler to crush
France because that once-great na-
tion was weakened by bickering
between labor, government, man-
agement. Workmen had demanded
their “rights” without regard for e-
qual rights for others; tee much of
management had demanded fantas-
tic profits; government had listened
easy
to pressure instead of patriotism.
If the war taught us anything, it
should be that production by co-
operation is the only thing that can
win war or peace. Decent manage-
ment here wants to pay more and
more money (p the man who earns
it. Intelligent workers know they
czn be paid only out of what they
produce. Honest givernment knows
it must work for both.
Pay because of power instead of
for production, control of many by
a few, “smear” tactics, threats, force
invasion of privacy—these have a
foreign smell. They are the meth-
ods of cummunism and facism.
Is that what their users are work-
ing toward for America. If so—
and if they get it—then Hitler did
win the war.

letter:
For the past few days the people
of Lancaster have been hearing the
voice of the younger generation
through the letters they have writ-
ten to the Lancaster New Era. I
think its really about time the peo-
ple of Mount Joy listen to us.
Sloan's and Tony's are the only
places where we can hang out, and
then if we make a little noise or
have a gathering of more than five
or six, we are told to “break it up.”
Where do we dance? We don't—
unless we have a car and can go up
to Diff's or Hershey one night a
week (to say nothing of how much
it costs to go to one of these dan-

ces). The Richland club use to
have dancing one night a week for |
us—but the older folks complained |
too much about the noise, so it was

closed.
Where do we bowl? We don't—
unless we just happen to be around
the bowling alleys some evening
when the Leagues aren't monopo-
lizing the alleys (which is pretty
seldom).
I'm not only speaking of the High
School Gang, but what about all the
ays com'ng heme from the ser-
vice? They
very much to come home to. There's
no better boys in the world than
certainly don’t have

these fellcws, and its true when
hey were away from home they |
probably did pretty many wild
things, but now that they're kack,
what else can they do, other than
to continue right on the same way
(well on the way to being “delin-
quents”). Where else do they have
to go, other than the Beer Gardens,
Pool
can they dc?
Rooms and Joints—what else
Certainly not sit at
home reading, listening to the radio
or sleeping. Don’t forget, some of
those boys have heen through an
awful lot..
It's true juvenile delinquency is
rising at a rapid pace, but why? I
certainly can’t blame anybody but
the clder generation,
ways too busy or think its too much
trouble to help us along.
who are al- |
So many Summers ago a swim-
ning pool was proposed for Mount
Joy, where is it? The older folks |
ruled it out. Its been the same way
with everything else that has been |
proposed for our kenefit. |
High school dances come about |
three or four times a year, but what
are we supposed to do the rest of |
the year? Our whole lives are
made up of dancing, bowling, !
swimming, movies, etc., just being
young for as long as possible. We
don’t want to get on the wrong road |
and end up at beer parties, necking |
parties and the lke, but we cer-|
tainly don’t have zny other choice.
Why can’t 3 swimming pool and |
a recreation hall
dance and have fun be made avail-
able “for us?”
We'll do our part,
about you doing yours?
