Let S Go,

President Roosevelt's admirable declaration of
American principles in his momentous address Tues
day night convinced that it time to face the plain
truth with od-fashioned American honesty.
And let's think of ourselves for a change; let's
think of the freedom we've fought for since 1776.
We have fight on hands; a fight or freedom
There can be no honest denial of it. The truth is that
this freedom is in real immediate danger of disap-
pearlng.
We Americans cannot sit back and, with our heads
in the sands pray that the triumphant blood-spilng
Nazis will get no closer to our shores
Today is not year ago-though many Of us
think so. In twelve months, the has come almost
to our front door. Unless act with utmost speed
and decision, and convoy munitions to England, sup
ported by strong convictions of right and wrong,
that may surge up not only to our porches, but
overnight swirl around to our backyards
To avoid the horrors of a ten years war, a twenty
years war, or another Hundred Years War; let's roll
up our sleeves and through conveying help extermin
ate the creeping, filthy menace that threatens the
freedom of ourselves our children and their children

Inflated Ego

One OF the hardest types of humanity upon whom
to make an impression is the skillful driver with am
inflated ego.
Ihls sort Of driver is better than the average and
KNOWS It, lie has supreme confidence in his ability
TO operate car successfully at extraordinary speeds
and under all sorts of hazardous conditions Hair
breadth escapes from accidents are part of his daily
experience He misses collisions by inches or fractions
and thinks nothing of it. He has sort of pitying
scOrn for less skfu drivers who do not dare to take
such chances.
He believes that speed limits and safety rules are
made for drivers who do not possess his ability to
manage He is the man who boasts that he has
developed his driving faculties to the point where h.
handles his car and meets emergencies automatically
His unlimited self-confidence makes him greater
menace to safety on the road than less skful and
less confident driver who constantly observes safety
precautions.
Some day the old law Of averages catches up with
him. 1t may be a blown tire; dartng unexpected
w from side street, rock or other obstruction ON
the Highway he careens around blind curve
Usually the ensuing wreck is disastrous one because
the driver with the inflated ago is travelling at an ex
cessive rate of speed. Quite frequently his driving
days permanently and there is either long
job for the doctors and the hospital or new business
for the undertaken.
The driver who thinks he is immune to speed linn
taons and ordinary safety precautions is about the
most self-deluded individual running loose.
It is little too soon to state with surety that the
modern girl is going to do better job of living than
her mother who kept in ignorance of the facts of
life but guess is that better worse the time is
gone forever when the family doctor book will be hid
den away from the children.
Every town has at least one individual who is for
ever finding fault with the Chamber of Commerce or
local business mems club but who contributes to
it's activities does any work for the good Of the
munty.

Budget Week Deserves Attention

Entitled Budget Week Deserves Attention." the
following editorial was sent this paper by the Arizona
Tax Research Association headquarters in Phoenix:
Last year, Gov Bob Jones issued proclamation de-
signaling July 21-27 as Budget Week" This was
done to draw the attention of taxpayers to the fact
that annual budgets for the operation Of local govern
ments were in process of being adopted The proclaim
alton urged that citizens should interest themselves
in the business Of government for few days to find
out what was going to be spent from tax funds and
where these dollars were going
In all probability Gov. Sidney P Osborn will issue
a similar proclamation this year. No chief executive
is likely to overlook this interest in the man who pays
the bill It is gesture behalf of citizens who are
overwhelmed throughout the year by weeks dedicated
to ways of spending money.
Such a proclamation this year is more important
than ever before The last legislature passed laws
curing school districts to make complete budgets and
publish them prior to final adoption Also there was
passed an amendment to the county budget law that
makes it mandatory for boards Of supervisors to make
a more complete budget concerning their operations
It is up to the people to see that public officials
inform themselves as to these new laws and abide by
them They give taxpayers an opportunity to eftec
tivey protest expenditure of public funds for unne-
cessary activities, or mneeded governmental eN-
penses
During Budget Week" last year, service clubs of
the state ioned in the educational program check
lp disclosed that nearly every service and civic CLUB
in the state set aside at least one program i'll which
members and citizens generally were informed by
qualified speakers what Budget Week" meant to
them
Let's put Budget Week. over bigger and better
than ever this year!

 It's about time aJck Kearns got next to himself. He no longer can get away with the old system of building heavyweight.
 The trouble with lot of old light managers who have become passe is that they don't know what to do when they get & good fighter. When 1t is time to let fighter fight they seem to believe they have to do something else. They simply have to be outsmarting somebody, even though by now they should know they are only outsmarting them selves.
 If Bill Poland can fight, he doesn't need to have stiffs stuck in front of him.
 It doesn't do a young heavyweight any good to have his knocked out opopnent suspended as was Eddie Blunt in Washington.

C. L. & P. Mixed Golf News

Wednesday night at the Munich pal Golf Course, the second Mixed Scotch Foursome sponsored by our bowling league was a highly suc- cessful affair, John DeVito and Dot Whitaker took first prize for low gross with 40; Vim Duff and Ann McDonough had second low gross with 4l, and Anthony Colucci- Marie Dalton squad received third low gross award for their 42. Frank Byrnes and Peg Dunn shot a A to take low net, while the 47 which Charlie Byron and Nina Birs card- ed was good enough for second low net.
 John Kearney and Tom Egan did not play. John had Charlie Horse" and Tom was "indiSp0Sed," and their partners did not show up in first place. Ernie Greens part ner did not show up either but someone said afterwards that Ernie had gone out and played with reck- less abandon. We cannot confirm or deny this rumor, however, hav- ing been unable to get in touch with Reckless. Madeleine Murphy, Doris COsgrove and Helen Roberts, the three missing partners, had just re- turned from q cruise to Virginia Beach and, since 1t was we'll known what a wonderful time they had, when they did not show up the re- port was circulated that they had re.embarked for another cruise.
 The Meter Department seems to have monopoly on prize winners. John DeVito, captain of the team which won low net, and Anthony Colucci captain of the team which took third prize, are members of that department: Frank Byrnes, captain of the team which took low gross, Is boss of the department, and Charlie Baxter, captain of the team which won the first Scotch foursome, also works in that depart ment.

COWBOYS FACE
 CANAAN SUNDAY

Litchfield, Sept. 5-The Litch- field Cowboys will meet the Ca- naan Nine Sunday at the Com munity Field in Litchfield at 300 D. m. in a play-off tilt for honors in the Interstate League. With Litchfield's win last Sunday, each team has one game to its credit and must win this weke's contest to qualify for the final play-offs with the victor of the Lakeville- Sharon contests. Tello Comprini who turned back the Canaan team Sunday is the probable choice Of pitcher for the Cowboys. It is ex- pected that Lou Segalla of Canaan will try to repeat his success of two weeks ago. With the loss of Marty Monaghan as shortstop and the injury to Ernie Morgan at catching position, the Cowboys have had to revamp their playing positions somewhat. Sliv DaRoss has been doing very well as short stop and his batting average has been raised by his hitting in the last two league games. Joe Mack is playing third base and Clarence Baldwin is doing well as relief catcher when Morgan's injured arm tires. The Cowboys are gum ming for a win Sunday so they can earn a try at the finals.

Chicago, Sept. +CUP)-Presi., dent Robert M. Eutchins Of tho University of Chicago said today. that the university had not suffered from it's abolition of intercollegiate football and that the campus had reacted with . feeling Of "relief"sE
