THE NAN on THE JOB.

Every great disaster brings out its
stories of heroism. Whether it is the

or earthquake or tornado. or whatever

on the job as long as he car be of any
use. who %disregards personal safety
and performs his duty in the face Of
death. and even as he passes through
the very gates of death.
We look back across the centuries,
and our souls are thrilled by the deeds
of the brave men Of old who risked
their lives for others. But we need
not read ancient history to learn Of
heroic deeds. The world is full Of

into prominence. The young woman

who remained at his post to send out
the last possible distress signal; the

valley shouting warnings to the resi-

such a manner as to deprive of excess

are or have been receiving it at the
expense of the whole nation. That is
the first problem that confronts the
new administration. And it is no time
to be playing petty personal politics
or to obstruct necessary legislation in
order to build up new parties. Pro-

ought not to be expected to do so.
