No Howls Now!

Just one year ago the kept press was
hollering long and loud about press free
dom" when the National Labor Relations
Board subpenaed Hartley W Barclay. editor
OF a magazine called Mill and Factory" to
explain some mysterious incidents which
surrounded his reports of National Labor
Board hearing in Weirton, the steel empire
dominated by f. T. Weir.
Barclay wrapped the freedom Of the
press" banner around him and pranced
around to the plauditS of the American News
paper Publishers Association.
Hundreds Of editorials and inspired news
stories appeared Last week the notorious
Dies Un-American Committee is reported to
have sent its agents to a printing establish
ment and seized the galley proofs of book
written by workers employed on the Federal
Writers Project of WPA.
We have looked in vain for any nation
wide protests from the breast beatcrS of the
American Newspaper Publishers ASsocia-

They are apparently very unconcerned
at this barefaced attack. The press Of the
nation does not seem very sincere in its
espousal Of a free press.
The local papers are splendid example
OF how far their interest goes In spite of
the Cumberland city defiance of the United
States Supreme Court ruling in relation to
freedom of the press making ii unconsttu-

raised one editorial word of condemnation of

Their attitude is that as long as their

A Job That Must Be
Completed

There is a story that comes from New
Zealand about a tribe of Maoris who suffered
many losses from their sheep straying away
from their grazing lands.
They decided to build fence around the
wide area where the sheep grazed. With their
primitive tools and lack Of supplies this was
. lpng and arduous task. They labored at it
nany weeks, becoming more and more dis
pusted until finally when they were in sight
Of completing the fence, they decided to give
up the job.
Then they complained that all their toll
had been in vain for their sheep still strayed
away as they did before any fence was
started.

Basis Of Prosperity
By Dr Charles Stclzle
Executive Director Good Ncighbor League

Practically everything that is happen
ing to us today happened to others thousands
OF years ago-according to the archcolo
gists who found the records on clay tablets.
baked 5000 years ago. or to the historians
who began to write some $500 years later.
They tell us about Sit-down strikes,
hours of labor. salary bonuses, collective
bargaining. cost of living. old-age pensions.
silver standards. crooked politicians, womcn's
rights. and in the Bible itself we have the
story Of Egypt's seven years Of plenty. and
seven years of depression with bread lines"
and food commissioner.
During all these experiences panaceas
were suggested to meet the problems of the
times. Some of them worked out, but many
failed. It's a strange thing that some deIuded
leaders are today offering the same old
quack remedies that were tried and failed
in the days when they had to be written
upon clay tablets instead Of typewriters.
But it is still remarkable that plans and
principles which were basically sound arc
being dsregarded today.
We have learned that relationships and
autocracics are not conducive to the freedom
and happiness Of the whole people
We have learned that the character of
a nations greatness is determined by the
character OF its individual citizens
We have learned that no question is
ever settled permanently except upon the
basis of Justice
We have learned that right human rela-
tionships are more important than the crea-
tion of great organizations and corporations
and machine production.
We have learned that the source of hap
pinesS depends moi so much upon what we
haze as it does upon what we are.
We have learned that character is more
vital in building up a permanent basis OF
prosperity than reputation. for a mans repu-
tation, dishonesty earned. may quickly be
smashed whereas his character is eternal,
and cannot be taken away
And all these things which history has
taught US may be applied to every problem
facing us today-as individuals. and as ma
tions. They may be applied to personal rela-
tions. to the labor problem. to national ques.
tionS, and to international affairs.
Therefore. let's stop looking for short
cuts and patent remedies, and let's study
the lessons which history has taught us
For upon these depends our future pros
perity, and our present happiness.

OLD GLORY
Every body in the United States of
America should be proud of the flag
of our country. A feeling of rever-
ence should come over them as they
see it flying in the breeze, for truly
it is the most beautiful and sacred
emblem to US.
Every morning of late the flag has
been flown from the flag pole of the
Pocomoke High School. 1t is shame
that it couldn't have been flown all
the year for it adds something to our
school that cannot be gotten in any
other way.
Here's hoping that more people will
come to love and honor "Old Glory"
and more flags will be unfurled to the
breeze.
A SILVER HORSESHOE
A silver horseshoe has been added
to the awards of merit of P. II. S..
This horseshoe is awarded to the Sec
ond neatest room, while the gold
horseshoe is awarded for the best one.
1t seems that the silver horseshoe has
had quite history. One of the girls
in Mr.. Beaucamp's room made it so
that her room could always have one
of the horseshoes, but a much too
quick-acting member of the student
council took for granted that it was
for the use of the school and carried
it to Miss Halls room where it is
now hanging. The maker of the
horseshoe hesitatingly consented to
its use.
A party was given at Phyllis Far
mer's home by Samuel Cohen, Oris
Bacon, Frank MacSorley, Rome Bar
mes, Edward Vincent, James Hill, and
George Young. Each boy invited a
girl and every one enjoyed dancing
and playing games and naturally
everyone enjoyed the delicious refresh
ments. The guests departed around
ten-thirty after a gay time. The
girls were Shirley Heilig, Mary Lee
Moore, Edna Belle Parsons, Norma
Lee Vane, Margaret johnson, Betty
Rose Tull and Phyllis Farmer.

SCHOOL PATRONS PROTEST
PROXIMITY OF GAS TANKS

The Kent County School Board was
presented with a problem last week
that was different from the routine
problems that arise in the manage
ment of the school affairs of the coun-
ty.
erected in the town of Galena across
the street from the elementary school
and the question of there being fire
hazard in that town created consider
able discussion. There apparently be-
ing no town ordinance against plac-
ing the tanks in the town limits, moth
ing could be done abou it as far as
the town authorities were concerned
and it was closed issue.
Last week, however, the protest
was turned over to the School Board
when Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Walters
wrote to members of the Board stat
ing that they considered that the tank
created a menace to the safety of
their children attending the school
and were going to take their children
out of the school. Their children
were kept home for a week which
further complicated matters.
The State Law requires parents to
send their children to school but the
question is whether these parents can
be compelled to place their children
under conditions that they consider
unsafe. It presents an interesting
problem.
