EDITORIAL
The Editor of the Good VIII Record
has been at his post thirty-three
years and three months, and in that
time the partial preparation of only
three or four numbers has been dele
gated to others; even in those num-
bers he furnished most of the mate
rial But this is the first time that
/ he ever attempted to prepare copy for
any part of a weekly publication. He
assumes responsibility for just one
page of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. In
lust one issue-no more, no less. 1t
was his own proposition, but it met
with the approval of Editor, Roland
T. Patten, and the plan is carried out
under Mr.. Patterns supervision. 1t
is the Good Will page. -
As it is the first and only page OF
It's kind, 1t contains some items that
must be familiar to many readers or
the Independent Reporter; but there
are some facts that it is not enough
to know-we need to be reminded OF
them from time to time. For some
people this page is information-the
imparting of facts; for others it Is a
reminder; for all we hope the page
will be of interest

EDITORIAL NOTE
| was talking with a man the other
cay. The man said to me:
Everybody is ready to help when
man Is trying to roll o big snow
ball up hill"
The man had been discussing the
situation at Good Will; he likened the
financial problem to a big SNOWFALL;
ne made the Editor of thea Good Will
record the man who has been push
ing the ball. as it has gradually in
efeased in size; he evidently believed
mai everybody is ready TO help such
man at such task. Was the man
