THE REAL ISSUES

The election on Tuesday, November
5, is not between Republicans and
Democrats.
We must choose between saving de-
mocracy and having a possible dicta-
torship.
We must choose between having the
government like your own family cir
Gle and your business, on a paying
basis with the budget balanced, as
against having bankrupt govern
ment, always running in the red,
spending more than it takes in.
We must choose between holding
traditions sacred or utter disregard of
traditions by demands for third
term, fourth term, fifth term.
We must choose between free enter
prise or RECOMMENDATION.
We must choose between honesty in
government and corrupt government
We must choose between freedom to
vote, or machine politics with at
tempts to buy peoples votes.
We must choose between the desire
to have decent jobs with decent wages,
or live with no hope of betterment on
relief or WPA.
We must choose between common
sense as against brain trusters with
theories and unknown schemes.
NNo ,,,l,c+ cbOOco bot,rao,,
ism and the tendency toward Nazi-
ism, Fascism, Communism, and
Rooseveltism
We must choose between the ideal
of working your way to the top as
against the theory that there is al
ready an indispensable man" at the
top, without whom we would perish.
We must choose as to who will rule,
the people themselves, or the ruth
less politicians.
We must choose between the one
who sees a future for America or the
present incumbent who doesn't be-
lieve the people are capable of govern4
ing themselves, that the peak of pros
perity has been reached, that there
never will be jobs and that we must
always have relief and WPA.
We must choose between oppor-
tunity and self helplessness.
We have on one hand Wendell Will
kie, who represents the first sections
of these paragraphs, and on the other
hand the third term New Dealer.
Roosevelts public utterances abound
in promises solemnly made. at is
my pledge and promise to you," he
has said time and again, later to have
broken them without apology and
without explanation. He resents op-
position. SO does Hitler.
In Wendell Willkie the people have
a candidate whose utterances are
clear, concise, direct, honest, and sin
cere. He believes in America.
To change leaders at any time is
safe when we know there will be an
improvement. England changed from
Chamberlain to Churchill and imme-
diately England began holding it's
own. If Roosevelt hasn't operated the
government properly while at peace,
would we want him at the head dur
ing any future crises?
Let's be sensible. Let's give the
entire Republican ticket this year the
largest majority it has ever had in
Garrett county, and join the balance
of the states in a landslide for Will
kie and McNary.

icy of sending our armament abroad con-
tinues it will be long time before we are
safe on our own shores. A proposal is now
being urged to send cannon and new
tanks and our new bombers abroad. We
have not enough of these to equip or even
train our own troops. We are not even set
tied on the design of heavy tanks.
Now word comes that American-made
bombers which were sent to France be-
fore her surrender were lately used by the
Petain government to bomb Gibraltar
How much Amrican-made equipment the
British and French lost in their defeat on
the Continent we do not know. But we do
know that one reason we are eight months
behind in equipping our own air force
has been the policy of aiding the Allies
This country is not for war. 1t will be
the greatest tragedy in our history if a
few selfish and ambitious men are per-
mitted to threaten all our basic Liberties
by bringing down upon us this terrible
ordeal. Do these rash importunate people
seek war to preserve this country? Any
such assertion is absurd. Our country
must and can protect itself. They know
that. They are seeking not primarily to
preserve our country. They are seeking
primarily to preserve themselves and
their own ideas at the dread risk of war

There is an issue before us-as grave
an issue as ever confronted us. 1t is OBJ
scured by words and deliberatly confused
expressions of public policy. 1t is the stark
and awful issue of peace and war. Re-
gardless of an s to l popular majority
against our getting into foreign war, we
are headed straight toward it by the
shortest path. We will be in it this year if
this country doesn't wake up and make
its voice heard now-before it is too late!
There is the greatest issue of all and |, for
one, am for peace.
In foreign relations we haven't friend
on earth except Britain-who couldn't af-
ford to be otherwise. We are on the verge
of participation in a new world war not

interest but to preserve the imperialistic
British Empire in Asia, Africa, and God
knows where else. | said we are on the
verge of Asiatic war. am not sure that
we are not in it already. In the Far East
our own interest is not worth half battle

extremely dangerous. Dangerous or not it
would double our national debt and tax
burden, which is the chief threat to our
capitalist and profits system and to the
principles of democracy embodied in our
Constitution.

Affection
Is What
Counts
Gift Made by Child
Means More Than
Costly Offering
By ANGELO PATRI.
-alf the delight of Christmas for

Half the delight of Christmas for
the children is in the gifts they hide
away for their fathers and mothers,
sisters and brothers, all the relatives
they can possibly manage to proVloe
for. The more the merrler.
OF course, the first thing they long
to do is to go to the shops to buy the
costliest gifts on the shelves, but
discovery of the practical difficulties
in that direction soon discourages
them. One must be ready with sug-
gestions and with sound instruction
about the nature of this giving. Get
rid of the notion that the gifts must
be expensive, professionally made
and commercially handled to make
them worth while. Children have to
be taught that things as things do
not matter, but that affection and
service and thoughtfulness rank
high always.
Have talk in secret with each
child. Secrets are the essence of
Christmas fun. Plan with them to
buy and to make the gifts they
decide on for each favored one.
Encourage the child who sewS to
make some pretty or useful and
pretty articles. Help the one who
paints nicely to see that a picture,
a box, a basket, painted as only he
can paint it, will be just the thing

Manners
of the
Moment

It's a great time saver, to go out
of beauty parlor with the stickum
still on your hair and the pins still
in. You can go about the rest of
your business while your hair dries,
and wait to comb it all out until you
really want to look your best later
in the day.
But there's one drawback. Friends
you pass when you are in the
plastered down state, look at you
as though you had lost your teeth.
And forever after you have a feel
ing that when they see you looking
very well with your hair huffed
out, they are picturing you with
your hair plastered to your face
the way they saw you once.
Men, particularly, seem to show
shock when you let them see you
in that state. They have a happy
way of thinking all women are
born with beautifully waved and
curled hair until they meet one who
displays the mechanics of having
beautifully waved and curled hair
too obviously.
The only thing for us to do, girls,
is to go back to wearing shawls
over our heads If we don't want to
spend the rest of our slives under
driers.
OF course. suppose if the men
prefer 1t that way, we'd just as soon
spend the rest of our lives under
driers. JEAN.

for this one and that one. Show
the children that what their people
want from them most Is the knowl-
edge of their affection and thought
of them at this time, not the things
themselves.
Children like things; the more
they have the happier they are, so
it is bit difficult to get them to see
that grown-up people do not care
especially about the beautiful bottles
of perfume, the huge boxes OF
sweets, the gorgeous boxes of letter
paper, that hold so much attraction
for them. Mother would much
rather have little handkerchief,
hemmed and initiated by her little
girl than the boxful from the shop.
Gram would far rather have one
little silk bag with drawstringS that
her little granddaughter had made
for her, crooked seams and all, than
the handsomest handbag on the
avenue. And father would cherish
the penwiper and the pipe rack and
the slippers if his children made
them for him with their own hands.
There is something deeply per-
sonal in a bit of handwork Some
thing of the inner being who moves
those hands gets into his work. The
little baskets the children make to
give their mothers on Christmas
morning are made according to the
same pattern, but no two OF the
finished baskets, even though they
are made of the same kind of paper
and the very same kind of splints,
will look alike. The teacher can
pick out whose is whose without
reading the names. It is that quail
ty, the imprint of mind on its
creation, that makes bit of hand
work invaluable.
Encourage that kind of Christmas
giving. 1t Is better for the children.
They will get more Christmas out of
making their gifts than they ever
could get by taking the money
father gave them and buying things
in the shops Love is not sold over
the cOunter-not the real thing, ever
and love is what makes Christ
mas giving thrilling.
To keep peace in the family
and maintain Justice between
brothers and sisters is difficult
task. Be guided by Angelo

Other People," Send for it, in

Don't marry a girl thinking you
can change her after marriage.
There is no magic in the marriage
ceremony that converts a nitwit
into sensible woman; that turns
a virago into an angel; that makes
a lazy, shiftleSs one industrious, or
a selfish one altruistic. AS a girl
is before marriage she will be after
marriage. Only more so.
After you are married, don't dump
the whole responsibility of how your
marriage turns out on your wife.
Making a happy home is just as
much your business as it is hers.
Besides, it is a two-handed job
that takes teamwork. No woman
can do it all alone. So give her CO.
operation. Take an interest in the
house. Help her hang the cur
talns. Praise her cooking. Do your
part about being a little ray of sun
shine around the place. Many a
woman is a poor housekeeper and
a dismal companion because her

around home except to criticize it.
Don't cut out the lovemaking
Marriage doesn't automatically ex-
tract a woman'S sweet tooth. Be-
fore she was married there were
plenty of boy friends to tell her how
beautiful and wonderful she was
and to bring her candy and flowers
You will have to pinchhit for the
bunch. Don't renege on the job.
Let her see that you are trying
to make her happy, and that you
don't think that just being mar
ried to you is such a picnic that
she doesn't crave any other amuse-
ment.
Take her window shopping and
treat her to hot dog If it is the
best you can afford. 1t will break
the monotony of cooking and wash
ing and baby-tending and make her
easier to live with.

Be fair with her about money.
If you have a good income, give her
an allowance for the house and
herself. 1t will save 80 breakfast
table arguments and keep her from
feeling she is being gypped. If you
have a small salary, turn your pay
envelope over to her. She can get
twice as much out Of a dollar as
you can.
Deliberately start on your we'd
ding day to cultivate companion
ship with your wife. Talk to her
and listen to her when she talks.
Discuss your business with her. Tell
her about your hopes and plans.
Make her read the same books that
you do.
The reason that most husbands
and wives bore each other Is that
one goes one way and the other
goes another way until they get so
far apart that they become strang-
ers who do not interest each other.
Don't philander. Don't marry
until you are ready to become a
f1reside companion. Don't think
you can tear your wife's heart out
of her with jealousy and drag her
pride into the dust with your in
facilities, and then have her well
come you back with outstretched
arms when you return from one Of
your adventures.
She may not divorce you. She
may technically forgive you. But
you have killed her faith in you.
You have taken the bloom of of
her love for you. You have taken
away from her marriage all that
made it fine and sacred, and that
is pretty high price to pay for a
few f1irtations.
Marriage is a problem that you
have TO work out day by day; but
if you will try as hard to make q
success of 1t as you do of your bust
ness, you will never fail.

DEAR WHITE WHISPERS


fan mail that will come pouring in.
between now and December Is, but
1 have an idea you'll be pleasant
about it. AS for me, I fully intend to
write you a number of request let
tiers and since mine will be slightly
on the public side, maybe they'll re-
fleet some of the items that Mrs.
Averagewoman would like to find in
her Christmas nylons.
First of all, I'd like dresser set.
Those dainty ones with cloisonne
designs are simply beautiful and
since my domicile looks like fugi-
tive from an ice cream soda parlor,
this feminine finery would fit in
perfectly. OF course, if you want
to contribute something really last
ing and lovely, I'll take one of the
silver dresser sets and I'd like it
monogrammed, please. The wooden
sets are smart-looking, too, w. w.
For example, one firm has brought
them out in the quaint Victorian
Moss Rose which fits in nicely
with new cosmetics and boudoir
decor in this motif. Plastic sets are
really smooth and often very clever
ly done. Have you any Of those
with heart-shaped mirror and an
admonition around the frame which
says, Il return smile for smile and
frown for frown"? Well, all right,
send it along.
49, 80 i,
smartest little gadgets of the season
is the combination lapel pin and
perfume, all flower adorned and
ribbon-tied for extra interest. The
pin is in the form of crossed skis
and snow flowers, and the perfume
facon slips right out SO that the
lapel pin is ready for immediate
wear. These gadgets are going to be
favorites with the winter-sport ad-
diets, too, so you might as we'll kill
two birds with one stoneLas the
saying goes. By the way, they've also
created a miniature edition of your
boot, lacquered it in brilliant red
and put in a flacon of perfume.
There's ribbon bootstrap attached.
so you'll have no trouble hanging
it on the Christmas tree. AS for
the perfume. I'll take any one of
the five fragrances which may be
tucked inside. Both of the items
are trimming over with holiday
gayety and charm.
Speaking of charm, there's plenty
of it in some new cosmetic gift sets
which include both old and new
items by a well-known firm. The one
that's really special has rouge,
lipstick, powder and a very gen.
erous bottle of cologne all nicely
done up in blue box, handsomely
decorated and lined with satin. The
preparations are wonderful, and the
whole set won't make even a dent
in your checking account at the
bank of the North Pole. BY the
way, Mrs. Claus will go for the new
cologne as well as the makeup in
its individual red and gold colored
packaging. What's more, there are
other sets which include two or three
of the aforementioned products in
stead of all four.
Think that will give you a start,
Santa? It's pleasure to suggest!
And as parting shot, could do
with a compact-especial if it's
the "jewel-Studded' one pictured
above. It's one of three types, so
If you select one I'll think glowingly
OF you every time my nose shines!
