DRY will carry us backward to the
past. A flood of love will wash the
heart clean as sea-swept stone.
We will grow stronger and better
in the virtues and goodness of
those who have passed through
the body and gone.
The strength and greatness of
our own forebearers should inspire
us in Dickinson in this time of
f1ux and change. The pioneers of
our own land were men and women
with all Of earth's weakness. But
they were strong enough to break
away from the bonds of tyranny
in softer lands and cut way to
freedom in the wilderness. Today,
we cannot move away when priv
lege shackles free speech and even
dares us to think, because there
is no longer physical frontier to
find. But we can regain the tough
fiber of our ancestors and do rev.
erence to them in a spiritual from
tier, where so few ever dare to
enter. The people of our county
can live their own lives without
lip service to those who would
be masters. We can pledge the
best that is in us to think and
the best that is in us to do in
support of a new Declaration of
Independence from the Lords of
Trade and Plantations, who would
rule our bodies and souls.

MY VIEW

| look down from my window
And there below me lies
The stink-pot of the city
A breeding place for flies.
The basement of a building,
Foundation of a dream,
That died for lack Of money
AS all dreams do, it seems.
1t was Relief Project
A Jail twas meant to be
And now it is cess-pool
For all the world to see.
What would have housed a fur
mace
Is filled with trash and filth.
It's Main Streets big attraction.
Our boast of Clintwood's wealth.
The ashes from the Courthouse
Will fill it up some day
And then We'll have another
dream"
And have it cleaned away.
The view here from my office
Is beautiful. IT'S so,
If I can keep my window closed
Against the stencil below.

Greetings

The editor believes that the peo-
pie of Dickinson will support a
county newspaper. That is what
the HERALD is, and that is what
it will continue to be. We offer
it for your approval in the calm
confidence that you will take it
into your homes as regularly and
continuously as season follows
season.
The Herald will print county
news just as it happens, neither
dressed up nor toned down to suit
any man. Editorial policy will be
to say exactly what WE. think
about issues of public interest.
The editor of this paper has not
recently discovered that Dicken-
son is a good county to live in.
His ancestDrs found out over a
hundred years ago. He was born
here and has never had another
home. All the traditions of this,
his native land, are his by inheri-
lance, and all it's present life is
his by legal settlement. To the
people of this county he offers a
newspaper that will reflect their
living, paper that he hopes to
make bright and readable. He
asks your support, not as a matter
Of duty, but because you can read
and like his paper.
We are not interested in making
Dickinson over. We have no axes
to grind. We have no fights to
make. We are simply trying to
get out weekly newspaper be-
cause we like the game and be-
cause this is free country. There
may be some who consider the
HERALD an intruder. There may
be those who have uneasy NOM
ents when they think about truth
on the printed page. To any and
all such people, we hold up a
warning finger.
Friends, we greet you and ex-
pect a pleasant trip with you
throughout the years!

Signs Of Early Upturn
In Steel Rate Hailed
BY the Associated Press.

oS tIc ASSOCldttu 1lcoS
NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-Despite a
1-point drop to 54 per cent of the
industry's capacity, Iron Age saw
signs of an early resumption of an
upward trend in steel in its weekly
survey yesterday.
The decline, the trade publication
declared, was in all probability mot
so much a reflection of poor steel
business as an indication of over
anticipation by some steel COM
panies, which have built up larger
stocks of raw and finished Steel
than are currently required"
The Iron Age scrap composite
rose to S15.O8, the highest level since
October, 1887, and 8 cents above the
1888 peak.
Caution continued to rule among
steel users. the review said but the
number of orders received pointed
to broadening activity. Lean buy
ing by the automobile industry af-
fected adversely the sheet and strip
divisions, together with fairly large
stocks carried over from heavy
shipments brought about by last
falls low-price coverages.
Railroad buying is still one of
the major factors of current inter-
est" the steel magazine said.
An unfavorable feature was noted
in awards for fabricated structural
steel, which for the third week have
BEEN unusually light.
