social-democracy of Poland which re-

principles. which adhered to the Len

WHEN THE VOTERS ABDI-
CATE.

President Coolidge INDUCED in no
rhetorical exaggeration when he de-
scribed political Indifference, as evil
denced by abstention from voting at
important elections, as more serious
danger to the American system of
government than are revolutionary
violence and professional crime. So
ciety is certain vigorously to repel d.
rect attacks upon the foundations of
civilization, but insidious undermining
of the principle of self-government
may pass unnoticed for years.
The evil discussed by the President
in his address before the Daughters of
the American Revolution is compare
lively new in the United States.
Therefore it is of the utmost import
ance to ascertain its true causes. Or
gained efforts to bring qualified vot-
ers to the polls are not unsuccessful,
but they should not be depended upon
unduly as permanent solution of the
problem. Systematic education is even
more necessary, as Mr.. Coolidge sug-
gests.
It is imperative to enforce the sim
pie truth that the result of widespread
failure to vote for candidates and the
policies they represent must be the
destruction of genuinely representa-
tive government. If disinterested cit
liens fail to vote, selfish groups seek
ing special privileges are likely to
capture and use the government as an
instrumentality for antisocial pur-
poses. If the public does not act at
the polls it does not act at all. The
only chance Of effective public express
sion in a representative system is at
primaries and elections.
1t is impossible to believe that any
considerable portion of the American
electorate desires to abandon repre-
sentative government. Yet many vot-
ers are doing precisely that by failing
to exercise the political rights of citi-
Zenship.

BETTER HOMES.

"Better Homes in America" is an
educational institution for public SER
vice initiated in 1922 by Mrs. VIM. B.
Meloney. 1t was organized on a Ma
tional basis in December, 1928, with
Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Com
merce, as it's president. The aim of
Better Homes in America" is to make
convenient, attractive and wholesome
homes, accessible to all American fam
lilies.
The means to this end are educa-
tional publications, "Better Homes"
demonstrations and research. The
movement is Nationwide in scope.
The central organization is at Nation
al headquarters in Washington, D. c..
Demonstrations are coducted entirely
by voluntary local committees in the
cities, towns and rural communities
all over the country.
The local "Better Homes" campaign
consists of publicity, lectures, discus
sions, meetings and exhibits. This
latter is being well done by the de-
partment of home economics of the
local high school by posters made by
the class in this department of in
struction.
The purpose of '"Better Homes" de-
monstrations is this to bring to the
attention of the community all that
modern methods and inventions puts
at theNservice of home makers of
modern means; to show the best that
each community can do; to promote
and strengthen wholesome normal
family life. 'Better Homes" demon
strates what is basically good-"Bet-
ter Homes" is educational and nom
commercial.

HAS OUR TOWN A FUTURE?

Some parents have no plan for the
lives of their children and some men
do not intelligently plan their own
lives. They just "grow up' or they
just drift.
Some boys take the first job open to
them. The job is not looked upon as
a part of life program, but merely
as a source of income.
Many towns are likewise shiftless
and drift along without a program.
Years ago this was the way of most
towns. Town planning was never even
suggested by leaders. Citizens never
faced a situation until it was forced
upon them.
But the old method is wasteful in
every way, wasteful of human values
as well as of money. Today progress
sive towns look ahead into the future
and seek to plan for coming genera
-tions. In some of the larger cities
city-planning experts are called in and
money is spent freely for surveys and
programs.
Some towns are physically ugly,
even though they have had century
or more in which to grow beautiful.
Because no one cared AND no one plan
ned, many an old town is as unattrac-
tive as western mining or oil town
that has sprung up over night.
Some towns lack in high standard
of culture or high standard of NOR
ais. Some towns have no recreation
standards and are dull and stupid.
Some towns are unbalanced in their
development.
Mere financial prosperity may come
to some towns in spite of Indifferent
citizens. Location and natural re-
sources sometimes make prosperity
inevitable.
But those things that make life
worth while for all of us are never
the result of Natures bounty or of ac-
cident. The blessings bought by the
school, the church, the library and the
newspaper, come because men plan
for them and sacrifice to make them
possible.
Town development does not come
over night. 1t usually takes one gen.
Grafton to make any distinct change.
Hence our programs must be long
time programs.

velop ideals. New Years with it's
