of honor as men expect of each
other.
We no longer say of a girl
"She's a pretty little thing
and so well-bred!" as if that
were the acme of all that a
girl could be. We don't say,
She'll make some man a nice
little wife" as though we had
landed her a halo.
We either say, "She's a square
shooter and a SWELL girl and
has plenty above the ears" or
we say nothing at all. She has
to measure up to THAT, or
she is on the outside looking
in. That's the New Code For
Women.
Men may still look at women
through a misty haze of imagi-
nation and old-fashioned CLAM
our. But women look at Wom-
en- with their eyes wide OPEN!
And they no longer kiss like
billiard balls"-or fear each
other like poison ivy.
A girl can be as popular as
the latest song-hit. She can
be a headliner on every mans
telephone list and still be
trusted to play the game fairly
and keep the code. A square
shooter" never double crosses
another woman, never casts an
eye on another woman's private
property - husband or sweet
heart; never tells another wom-
ans secrets, never stands for
catty gossip, and is always
there when a gal needs friend.
And, if men only knew it,
a woman who is a square
shooter among women will al
ways be a square shooter as
wife. She will cheerfully take her
share of the burdens and do her
share of the pulling, never
whine or cheat or gold-dig you,
and never make you look silly
by flirting with other men.
Wonder why the last thing a
man looks for in a woman is a
CODE. Wonder why he never
gets a line on the woman he's
planning to marry, from her
OWN SEX! They know her!

noon off, he thought the world
had gone mad. Today, If he
were in the shoe business, he
couldn't sell a whole shoe to
save his life. He'd be standing
beside a machine that tackled on
a heel and did nothing else
but. And he'd have times when
he felt (as you're feeling now)
that a common man and his
job have become of less i'm
portance than the smallest
screw in that machine.
But he'd be wrong-and so
are you!
A man matters-and his job
matters-and they'll keep on
mattering as long as this earth
lasts. The world has changed.
We no longer are lone wolves.

You may not seem to count,
Al, yet the success of the whole
human race depends on YOUR
attitude and YOUR perform
ance. And there isn't a day
that you don't set YOUR mark,
for good or ill on history.
And not only do your efforts
count for the fellow who is
sharing the trail with you. >.
they still are the biggest factor
in determining the success or
failure of your own life. Your
life isn't determined by the
things that happen TO you--it'S
determined by the things that
happen IN you. In the long
run, it isn't what life does to
you that counts, but what you
do to life.
You may have millions in the
bank, but if you're bored and
embittered in your own spirit
you're a FAILURE. Or you
may be a homeless vagabond,
but if you're eager and excited
about life and yourself, you're
a SUCCESS. But the only way
to stay eager and excited is to
tackle everything that comes
with all you have of interest,
curiosity and pride.
That doesn't mean that
things aren't in a mess. They
are. Nor does it mean that we
shouldn't raise Cain lettering

celli the barometer, epochal adj
vances toward scientific fore
casting. In 1900, Dalton made
some brilliant and helpful
studies in the rarefication of at.
mosphere, following Edmund
Halley's discoveries regarding
the circulation of large masses
of air. The astute and curious
old Benjamin Franklin, like Sir
Hubert, the youngest of a null
titude of children, discovered
that storms converge in a GER
tain area. He didn't carry it
through to the finding that
they rush into an area of low
density, but he was on the right
track.
Later-day scientists, with the
aid of swift communications,
enabling them to cover large
areas, appear to have a tech
nique limited only by the range
and detail of their observations
They need more and more me-
neurological stations, and they
need help from the physicists,
enlightening them as to basic
causes of weather variations.
Even the basic question OF
whether determinantS of wealth
er are terrestrial or celestial is
still open, according to my
scientific friends. There are all
the vagaries of sun spots and
their possible effect on the
weather still unsolved. There
is a large amount of work to be
done on terrestrial magnetism,
charting all the currents of the
earth and checking them with
storms, with heat and cold,
moisture and drought. The adj
vance and retreat of the north
ern ice wall may possibly be
paced with the impact of radio
activity, of celestial rays from
the deeps of the heavens.
Man lives at the bottom of a
sea of air, perhaps 200 miles
deep, vering 200,O00,OOO
square miles of land and sea.
He knows little of what vast
and Grant forces may dwell
therein. Historians and anthro-
biologists have been deeply pre-
occupied with the effect Of eli
mate on the destiny of man

tenance, his energies, his culture.
Certainly the worlds economy
would be profoundly affected If
the weatherman could safely
call his shots Is or 20 years
ahead. They would have plenty
of time to figure what to do
about that wheat shortage or
surplus; they could achieve
crop rotation undreamed OF to-
day. There has, of course, been
a fantasy zone in weather af-
fairs. Time and again the pro-
posal comes up to do some fix
ing at the Belle Isle Straits
which will shunt all the cold
weather over to England-or to
doctor the Gulf Stream for one
reason or another.

Citizens Associations
Many Problems


Citizens associations and trade bodies beginning
their winter activities on behalf of the community.
Probably never before in the history of the city have
our residents been faced with complicated and
farreaching problems than they will meet in the ap
preaching year
OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS IN A STATE OF
FLUX CAUSED BY THE MANY PROPOSALS WHICH
ARE PENDING FOR ALTERING ITS FORM. OUR
TAX PROBLEM IS ACUTE AND IS THREATENING
TO BECOME WORSE.
We have for years been living as community on
budget which has prevented any appreciate capital
pendture and therefore faced with the problem
of whether shall such expenditures or
whether they shall be further postponed.
Difficulties which being met in caring for those of
neghbors who in need require the attention of
all of citizens if proper relief is to be extended
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE LOCAL
GOVERNMENT AND THE NATIONAL GOVERN
MENT IS RAPIDLY REACHING A STAGE WHERE
SOMETHING DRASTIC WILL HAVE TO BE DONE
BOTH AS TO THE FISCAL RELATIONSHIP AND AS
TO THE PHYSICAL AND LEGAL RELATIONSHIP.
In addition to these general problems there many
others which require the careful and thoughtful consd
Grafton of all of our citizens.
An attempt has been made recently to give to the city
and other matters by means of referenda Temporarily
at least that attempt has been blocked by decision of the
court
THAT FACT LEAVES THE BURDEN FOR DE
vELoPING AND DETERMINING PUBLIC sENTI-
MENT WHERE IT HAS so LONG REsTED-WITH
OUR CITIZENS ASSOCIATIONS AND THE NUMER-
GUS OTHER ORGANIZATIONS OF OUR PEOPLE.
The citizens associations in the past have demon
strated their ability to present forcefuy and effectively
the viewpoint of those whom they represent.
In the coming year they will doubt render just as
important service to the community they have in the
past.
A POINT WHICH THE ASSOCIATIONS SHOULD
CONSIDER CAREFULLY, HOWEVER, IF THE BEST
RESULTS ARE TO BE ACHIEVED FROM THEIR AC-
TIVITIES IS THE FACT THAT TOO OFTEN THE
VARIOUS ASSOCIATIONS DEVOTE THEIR ATTEN-
TON ALMOST ENTIRELY TO THE NEEDS OF
THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITY.
This makes it difficult to determine the views of our
citizens on matters of more general interest.
The attention to local detail u.s. of course of the utmost
Importance It is the only of bringing local needs
to general attention.
But certainly of equal Importance the local needs is
a broad viewpoint of the city whole. Some of our
people take the view that what they believe to be the
needs of their neghborhood be considered and
properly attended without regard to the general ad
vancement of the city.
THAT, UNFORTUNATELY, IS NOT so. EVERY
NEIGHBORHOOD PROBLEM HAS DIRECT Eff
Feet UPON THE CITY AS WHOLE AND THAT
EFFECT MUST BE WEIGHED WHEN LOCAL PROB
LENS ARE UP FOR CONSIDERATION.
