ence is, we have become termlte-
conscious-which is we'll.
One termite company informed
a home owner that his. house was
being attacked by termltes, ana
offered to repair the damage, and
to treat the woodwork and the
adjacent ground with preventive
chemicals, for two-hundred and
eighty-five dollars.
Investigation by constructor
showed the damage to be incon-
seouential. The work CT the ter
mites was stopped by scraping
away the tube they had construct
ed up the side of the wall from the
ground to floor joist, and by
spraying the timbers in the vicl
nifty with forty cents worth OF
creosote.
Termites are easily controlled.
If you are troubled by termites,

NA anu free people, called Let's,
Inhabited the shores of the Baltic

Let's. and hundreds of years of

pEPREssIoN's LEGACY, FEAR OF LIFE

employment and poverty is very lucky
man indeed, one who ought to be going MS
way without care i'm the world. 1850.
This idea would be perfectly sound If hn-
man beings 6ust didn't have any nerves.
Unfortunately, they do have them-and
the depression can do terrible things 20
them, even Where man has held his Joo
straight through from 1929. g..
Margaret Culkin Banning, author, touch
ed on this point in a recent address before
a Catholic club meeting in New York. She
tok occasion to point out that the security
which protects man from actual hunger
and cold does not begin to be enough.
''There is delusion spreading over the
United States that security is donation OF
government, that it is matter of legisla-
ton and new taxes" she said. But when
the Nest that governments con do has been
done, the insecurity that we feel in the
world today will not be destroyed.
insecurity is fear of life, a lack of un-
Outstanding of life, and lack of know
ledge of how TO Gve-and you cannot pay
off ON that with $50 a month--or with 5000
a MONTH - :, ...:.' 80.
Now it is precisely this fear Of life-this
uneasy feeling that the modern world has
ceased to be the ordered, predictable place
we always supposed it to be-which is the
most damaging legacy of the depression.
In the old days we assumed that certain
things We're natural and enduring; that the
world would always have a place for an
ambitious young man, that honest work
and fidelity to duty would always reap a
suitable reward, that the man who applied
himself to his job intelligently and emerge
tically would never need to worry about
his future ..... .-,..-
These things were pretty largely true, in
actual practice. Knowing that they were
true, we could shape our lives accordingly
If we got psnicky over our prospects, il
was because we were. worried about our
own shortcomings. The outside world il
self was not to blame.
But the depression, for great many
people, ended this comfortable old corcep'
tion.. When there are no jobs at all, an
ambitious young man can hunt himself
blind without finding his place. When
businesses are going broke. in droves hon
esty and fidelity may not do the individual
worker any good whatsoever. So
And a mans prospects for the future may
not.depend in the least upon himself, but
instead may hang on forces which he can
not'hope to understand or to foresee.
1t is this kind Of Insecurity that has hurt
the most. We need to make our country
depfession-proof, not only because we must
save people from actual want, but because

HOW TAXES ARE PAID

.
'Taxes are paid in the sw at of every man who
labors." .-... 81. .,--.-.r-,.
That's not the dictum of Big Business or of EN-
trenched Wealth. s-
1t is the everlasting truth as expressed the other
day by the present President of United States.
Mr.. Roosevelt has never spoken more mighty
verify than that.
And because it is the truth, it makes one wonder
all the more whence comes the philosophy of those
who contend that taxes should be so arranged as to
punish the thrifty, as to soak the rich!
. In the long run, it makes no difference what
particular classes may be singled out for punitive
taxation on the part of government, of any gov
rernment .+. rl.r r.>.
