FLEETWOOD AT ITS BEST

A friend OF ours, who recently comphmented us on our
treatment OF home town news, stated that he was especially
pleased with the prominence we gave to news featuring To-
cal organizations and their work.
People residing outside of Plentywood- lot of people
in town. for that matter-seemed to be under the impression
that about the only thing Plentywood folks were interested
in was politics.
About the only organizations that were functioning.
Judging by front page publicity, were two political camps
whose biennial flareups were not unlike, in many respects,
those tong wars the Chinese people seem to take delight in.
Just why politics should supercede everything else of
importance is something we cannot quite understand. Pol
itcs is important in the general scheme of things in this
country. but only important in the same measure that the
welfare of the people affected is concerned.
AS a matter of fact, there are many local organizations
that contribute far more toward the social, moral, spiritual
and general welfare of Plentywood and Sheridan county
than does politics.
Prominent among these organizations are:
HURCHES|Four congregations, well support
ed; services we'll attended. Denominations repre-
sented: Catholic, Lutheran, Congregational and
Evangelical.
FRATERNAL ORDERS-Three Masonic bodies
blue Lodge, Royal Arch and Eastern Starr;
Knights of Columbus; Catholic Daughters of Am
erica; A. O. U. W.; Degree of Honor; Sons of
Norway. Each organization is active, flourishing
and playing a prominent part in the social life of
the community.
SEMI-FRATERNAL-Isaak Walton League;
American Legion; Legion Auxiliary; Boy and Girl
Scouts; Fourth Clubs. These are social organiza-
tons with definite purposes in view. Much is
expected of them this coming year.
V ORGANIZATIONS-Plentywood Fire
Department Zone of the most efficient fire fighting
units in the state); Parent Teachers Association,
cooperating effectively with our schools; Hospital
Association, maintaining a modernly equipped
hospital; Commercial Club, not dead but sleeping.
There is not a single organization listed but what is, or
can be, a credit to the town. Plentywoods growth and
progress is largely in their hands, News concerning them is
good news, indicative of wide awake and progressive COM
munity.
We solicit news concerning the activity Of these organi
cations knowing that in doing 50, we are presenting Plenty
wood at its best to the rest Of the world.

Everyday Psychology


I have often wondered why some
people are. very cautious. about the
verify OF; their reeellections. They
fortify themselves against possible error
by adding: IF my memory serves me-"
IF 1 recall correctly" IF am not
mistaken" or some similar expression.
L notice, too, that these are as .
rule the most truthful OF persons. AS
often as not they are the very ones who
use their memories most, and who for
that reason might be supposed to
possess a memory that they could rely
upon. It would appear that those who
make the most frequent use OF their
powers Of recollection have from time
to time discovered just how unreliable
an average recollection is.
There Is q reason for the added pre-
cautions that truthful people take In
relating what they suppose Is the truth:
reliable Of all his mental powers.

officers has been made for the purpose
of inspecting the guards daily and re-

of Columbia upon their efficiency and
viligance.
The guards about the Government
departments were placed on duty first

Precautionary measures Of q similar
character have been taken at Baltimore

The Scale Of Humanity.

A great city presents the widest

It may be to standards of living.
There is the scale Of intelligence, the
faces brightly alert and eagerly respon-
sive, and those of dull tncompfehension
with many grades between-So many OF
them not stupid, but blank. s..a.-.
Still more intimate Is the emotional
scale, not so easily appearing to the
casual Observer who is on less likely to
be misled by q becoming gown or q
pretty face because he happens to be
psychologist. But beneath the express
sion comes an impression Of capacity
for joy or sorrow for sympathy or re-
sentiment, for a rich or poor share in
the emotional life. My impressions may
De all wrong, but the contrasts are there.
and the scale of humanity measured

For the scale OF humanity Is even
more extensive than appears on the city

palaces. from dull to bright, are yet able
to carry on and hold their own. They
are still normal: though tomorrow and
