We have al, heard IL said that this

We have all heard it said that this
or that individual was a community
builder. BY that We mean that he
has invested his money here. He has
built home or business. He sup
ports the churches and the schools
and the local enterprises. What
ever they are he and others like him
make them. Further than this he
spends his money at home because
h realizes that the welfare of the
community, the welfare of his in
vestments, the prosperity of business
in the town, the welfare of his in
veStments, the prosperity of bust
he realizes that the welfare of the
churches and the schools depend
upon the financial wealth of the
community. The more money that
stays at home, and is spent with
local merchants, the better the town
is going to be. To better realize the
truth of this just imagine what the
town would be like if no one spent
his money at home. The business
section would soon disappear. II
would fold up and move away, and
with it would go property values, and
the very life of the town. When we
spend our money at home we build
our own town. When We spend ouI
money away from home we rob ouI
town to build some other town
some other town that has no inter-
est in our welfare beyond the dol
| lars that Wa Spand with than Nv
spending our money at home We
build together for our mutual best
interests.

One reason we have so many fool
laws and high taxes is that the fel-
lows who promote them thought
they would soak the other fellow. II
is being discovered by these same
fellows that there is no way Of soak
ing everybody else without getting
caught in some Of the soaking, too.

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Though Peter Rabbit had hard
work recognizing some members OF
the Warbler family and others he
didn't know at all, there was one
whom he never could mistake for
anybody else. 1t was Mummer the
Yellow-throat, sometimes called
Maryland Yellow-throat. 1t is be-
cause he wears a funny little black
mask that Peter can always be sure
of Mummer. Peter had caught a
glimpse of him as he darted into a
thicket of bushes along the Old
Stone Wall. At once Peter hur-
ried over there to look for him.
But when Peter reached the place
where he had seen Mummer, no one
was to be seen. He sat down, un-
certain which way to go. Seemingly
from nowhere in particular, Num-
mer suddenly popped out right in
front of Peter. His throat and
breast were bright yellow and his
back, wings and tail a soft olive
green. Right across his cheeks,
eyes and forehead he wore black
mask. At least that is what it looked
like.
Hello, Mummer!" cried Peter.
Hello, yourself!" cried Mummer,
and disappeared as abruptly as he
had appeared. Peter blinked and
vainly looked all about.
Looking for some one?" asked
Mummer suddenly, popping into
view where Peter least expected him.
For goodness sake, can't you sit
still a minute?" cried Peter. How
do you expect a fellow to talk to
you when he can't keep his eyes on
you more than two seconds at a
time?"
Who asked you to talk to me?"
responded Mummer, and popped out
of sight. In jiffy he was back and
his bright little eyes fairly shone
with mischief. Before Peter could
say word Mummer burst into a
pleasant little song. He was so brim-
ming full of happiness that Peter
couldn't be cross with him.
There's one thing I like about
you, Mummer," declared Peter, "and
that is, 1 never get you mixed up
with any one else. I should know
you just as far as I could see you,
least, as far as I could see that black
mask across your face. Has Mrs.
Yellow-throat arrived yet?"
Certainly" replied another voice.
You'll pardon me, Peter, if I speak
for myself" Mrs. Yellow throat
filtered right across in front of
Peter. She sat still for just an in
stant, just long enough for him to
have one good look at her. She was
dressed very much like Mummer
save that she did not wear the black
mask. Peter was just about to say
something polite and pleasant when
from just behind him there sounded
a loud, very emphatic. "chut, chut!"
Peter turned to find another old
friend. 1t was Chut-Chut the
Yellow-breasted Chat.

program. It should mean the voluntary interconnection of public and private lines where, in so doing, current can be more quickly and flexibly supplied to de- fenSe industrieS."
 In the Pacific Northwest where po- litical drive is now underway to socialize the private power industry at public ex- pense, whether the people want it or not utility experts have estimated that tens of thousands of kilowatt-hours of addi- tional power for vital factories could be supplied if all power facilities were pooled. The Federal Power Commission has made similar estimates The heads of the pri- vate utility industry have pledged their complete cooperation. Yet those who have charge of the governments power program have done nothing to effect this. Their policy seems to be rule or ruin. Their purpose seems to be the elimination of private enterprise the maximum power output for national defense and civilian needs
 What the people of this country want is results. They don't want time-waSting, resource wasting squabbles between gov ernment and industry. They don't want officeholders who go on playing politics as usual" m time of grave crisis. They don't want political persecution of those very industries which are most important to the successful and swift consumma- ton of our defense effort. A policy of such ruthless, needless destruction is too dangerous to be followed in a country that is obligating itself, the lives of its citizens and it's last dollar, to perpetuate democracy and the free enterprise system.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-08-27
Attacking the Railroads

Railroad labor unions are now making wage demands which, if accepted, can mean but one thing-tremendou increaS- eS in the rates charged by the railroads for carrying freight and passengers. The cold figures tell the story. Unions which represent engineers, firemen, conductors, brakemen and switchmen, demand 30 per cent wage boost = despite the fact that their present rates of pay are the highest in history-which would cost the railroads $190,000,000 year.
 Other railway unions, with a still larg- CT membership, are demanding wage ln- creases which run as high as 95 per cent despite the fact that their rates of pay, too, are the highest in history-which would cost the railroads $580 100000 a year. Other demands made by the unions would cost the railroads an additional $130 100000 year. In short, if all the demands were granted, the cost to the railroads would be about $500, 100000 year-and that is over $700,000,000 more than the railroads had left after meeting their expenses, including taxes, in 194O!
 It is clear what railroad rate increases adequate to compensate for these extra ordinary demands would entail. The in creased costs would be felt throughout the entire industrial structure. They would in all likelihood amount to a strong influence in favor of general price infla- tion. They would substantially increase the expense of the defense program. They would react to the disadvantage of the general standard of living.
 Today railroad workers, on the aver age, receive Is per cent more each week than they did in 1929. Today the cost of living is 12 per cent less. Under these conditions, the demands of the railway labor unions can only be called complete ly unjustified.

How to Lose the War

Much of the serious writing of the pe- riod is concerned with the world of the future-with the "new world" which will follow this war. Utopias of hundred kinds are on order, to be delivered when the dictatorS are at last defeated. Un- fortunately, good many idealiSts seem to regard the future as thing complete in itself, which will have little connection with the present.
 The truth is that the future can have no meaning, save in its relation to the past. We cannot talk of freedom and justice tomorrow, and disregard them to- day. We cannot win this war by building a gigantic military machine to defend us from invasion from without, and at the same time permit our liberties to be pro- excessively destroyed from within.
 For example, a peace-time Federal debt of nearly fifty billion dollars, exclusive of the war emergency, is something that must be taken into consideration before plans for the future can be laid with any certainty. Likewise, deliberate move mentS to undermine the free enterprise system, movements that have of late years made substantial progress, must be stenmed, if there is to be any future for us as a nation of free men. Representa- tive government cannot be maintained without free enterprise. Studied efforts to socialize or obtain dictatorial govern ment domination over Americas basic industries, such as power, mining, oil, etc., must be stopped, because whether you like them or not, such basic indus tries, are the keystone of our whole Ameri- can system. If they ever become the patronage machines of bureau-ridden central government, dreams of better future for the individual in this land of ours, will be indeed idle.
 Private enterprise in any Held can be regulated. The abuses of private enter prise can be corrected and the abuSers punished. But no one has yet found a solution to the problem of government grown too great-government abuses. The end result is always dictatorship for all. This American future we talk about must be founded on the American present and past. It must be founded upon a system which has done more for the com mon man or woman than any other -sys- tenn the world ever knew. If we permit that system to be weakened and emascu- lated, we will lose this war without firing a shot. And we will deserve to lose it.
