Mayors 10 Open Survey
OF Retired City Workers

The United States Conference of
Mayors announced yesterday it
would conduct a Nation wide sur
vey of retired firemen. police, ply
sicians and others formerly en-
ployed in public safety work as po-
tential candidates for active defense
duties for the remainder of the war.
Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, di-
rector Of selective service, requested
the survey Of the conference, which
will cover 200 United States cities.
An official of the conference
pointed out that reports have reach
ed the mayors that a large number
of retired municipal employees, par
ticularly policemen and firemen, fall
within the middle-age group and are
physically fit for some active de-
fenSe duty.
This study will reveal the extent
to which this group of retired mu-
nicipal employees could be of service
to the country" he said.

Fourth School District Leads

Jefferson Junior High
Coins 2,026 Pounds
Over Nearest RivuI

for Victory campaign to bring the
total collected in the defense cam
paign to 627, $40 pounds.
This figure exceeds by 27,442
pounds the amount collected during
the previous week.
Jefferson Junior High School
which is staying consistently in the
lead, gained 2,026 pounds over its
nearest rival, Bancroft. The young
sters from the southwest junior
high school almost made two tons
again last week. Jefferson was the
first school to amaSs ton in one
day, the only school to make 4
tons in one week and the first to
exceed a total of 10 tons for the
campaign. The energy of the chill
dren in this area, which Is not 50
prosperous as some other parts of
the city, is remarkable and there
appears to be a determination never
to relinquish the lead which has
been held SO steadily.
Eleven schools to date have ex-
ceeded a total of five tons, these
being beside Jefferson, Bancroft,
Buchanan, Garrison, Barnard,
Roosevelt, Petworth, Hearst, Mann,
Murch and Lafayette while five
others, Truesdell, Westbrook, East

Price: mankind are natur-
ally disposed to continue In SUBJ
lection to that mode of govern
ment under which they have
been born and educated"
jefferson: mankind are more
disposed to suffer while evils
are sufferabIe than TO right
themselves by abolishing the
forms to which they are ac-
customed."
Along the same line, it was
Shakespeare who said that we
are more disposed to bear those
ills we have than to fly to others
that we know not of.
JEFFERSON said, after he got
- through with the Declara-
ton, that il was neither "aimed
at originality" nor yet copied
from any particular and previ-
Gus writing" Still, while the
declaration was not copied liter
ally, it was reWrite. -.
For even the famous phrase
all men are created equal" is
rewritten from the opening lines
of RousSeau's "Contrat-Social."
"All men are born free"-which,
by the way. is obviously the
biggest whopper ever put over,
but, like all inspirational
phrases, it had its good uses.
And so what? Well, simply
this: There is no new thing
under the sun, as Solomon re-
marked. We all add a little TO
that which has been uttered be-
fore. That added bit can some
time start a revolution.
But back TO Jefferson and
Lincoln. Alexander Pope said:
Whatever is Is right"
But l say:
whatever Is Is rewrite."
CTS 1T not a fact" asks D. V.
l. Swivele of Harrisburg, Pa,
"that there can be no democracy
without the capitalistic system?
Is not that an historical fact?"
If Mr.. Swivele means by de-
mocracy" individualistic democ-
racy such as prevails in the
United States and England, the
answer must be. unequivocally,
no capitalistic system, no de-
mocracy. The very roots of in
dividualistic democracy, such as
we have it in America, lie in the
right of private ownership of
property. the profit system and
competition. Those three rights
are what we call capitalism.
When private ownership OF
property. the profit system and
competition in business are abol-
ished, all civil and political
rights will go down with them.
It's cause and effect.

BY BENJAMIN DeCasseres-

ITO ALL that we are facing, TO
Il all that we are about TO
face in the way of taxes and
regimenting, the answer of every
American should be:
Count me I'm until Hitler and
HirohitO are counted out"
That fine inspiration slogan is
Gabriel Heaters, and it is one
of the best. Don't grumble.
Don't pout. Don't NOPE. This
war will cost us nothing COM
pared to what it will cost us if
we lose.
Count yourself in-buy bonds,
defense stamps, obey all ration
ing regulations. Don't think of
your pleasure, of your comfort.
Think of the men of Bataan.
Think of Colin Kelly, of O'Hare,
of Buckley. Think Of our boys
who face death in the air, on the
land, on the sea for you Think
of them and give up what. you
must siSs- up gladly, with JOY.
Give till it hurts-then, take an
other hurt.
Count yourself in to the last
dollar, to the last effort until
Hitler and Hirohito and all they
stand for are counted out by
that indomitable and triumphant
American spirit that stood at
Valley Force, New Orleans, Get
tysburg and st. Mihiel.
THERE is always some idol
l. smasher lying around who
will discover for a blissfully be-
lieving public that that saying
is not original" with Jefferson,
Lincoln, Wilson or Roosevelt, for
instance. These hard-boiled de-
bunkers may be called the Sig
mund Spaeths of history. Drat
them! They're always upsetting
some of our heroes.
I find, in looking through
M C k ms incompatible "A
New Dictionary of Quotations"
that Thomas Cooper, way
back in 1895, used the phrase
"the government is of the people
and for the people," Lincoln,
in his famous Gettysburg
speech, merely added by the
people"
But that's nothing. Did you
ever hear of Richard Price? 1
never did. But here's a genial
snooper named Robert o. Bal
lou, who. in the American Mer-
curry, shows that Thomas JEFF
ferson's Declaration of Inde-
pendence" was a practical re-
write from an essay printed in
England by Richard Price. who
was born in 1923. l have not
the room here TO show you the
startling parallels tween
Prices ideas and Jefferson'S, but
take this one instance:
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-11-10

not received the following vigorous prod
ding by the national committee of the
silver users emergency committee:
THE idea of business starving to
death and tens of thousands of employees
being thrown out of work while three bill
lion ounces of silver are hidden away
under ground is ridiculous"
Now although the treasury is about
to recognize the legitimacy of the demands
of the silver trade, the promised release of
only five million ounces for industrial use
is clearly not enough out of store Of
three thousand million ounces.
Whether there will be only 100000
ounces released, and no more, the treasury
does not state.
AS the government hoard is always
increasing, it would seem to be reasonable
that there should be a steady allotment
of this precious metal to the trade after,
of course, all war demands have been met.
With silver, as with other commodi-
ties, it would be encouraging to us all if
the war against boarding began in the
treasury building.

Our Debt to the Marines

of the marines are too recent to need
much re-telling.
A mere handful of them were caught
at Guam by the sudden outbreak of war
and an overwhelmingly superior force of
Japanese, and many of them were killed
and the remaining few were only subdued
after their munitions were exhausted.
Another handful of marines were
similarly trapped on Wake Island, and
gave similar account, of themselves
futifefy, or course out at tremendous cost
to the Japanese and with eternal credit to
the marine tradition.
Still another handful of marines fought
for and STILL HOLD strategic Midway
Island.
And now, finally, we have the undecided
drama of Guadalcanal unfolding,
Those are the kind of fights we
habitually leave to the marines.
They win as many of them as they can
which is the MOST of them.
Naturally, we are proud of the marines,
and are thrilled by their amazing exploits
and are inspired by their vivid history.
Perhaps, we should extend something
more than pride to the marines, and imple-
ment their great courage and patriotic
devotion with timely reinforcements and
adequate munitions, and thus give them
the unaccustomed experience of meeting
powerful enemies on something approach
ing equal terms.
At any rate, the least we can do now
is to HONOR them for the fine, service
they are rendering and for the brutal
hardships they are undergoing and for the
grim sacrifices they are making-all in
the interest of securing freedom to all
of us.
And Marine Day, anniversary of the
corps, is an appropriate occasion for this
sign of our gratitude and affection. Let
it be observed, not by the marines alone,
but by the millions of Americans eternaly
in their debt

Stop u. S. Hoardins Silver

THE Associated Press dispatch from
Washington which reveals that the
treasury is making arrangements to sell
about 100000 ounces of silver to indus
trial users" will be good news to one of
the most ancient and honorable of Ameri-
can businesses.
The government has been setting a
bad example by boarding silver at the
same time that it asks or compels the
people not to hoard sugar, rubber, gaso-
line or metal of any kind.
The government has at present in
treasury vaults and buried at West Point
about 5000, 0000 900 ounces of silver
Some Of this has been released for
war purposes as substitutes for "copper"
zinc and nickel.
But the silver industry has been prac-
tically starved out"
THIS situation had become all the more
serious since the importation Of silver
was prohibited as of October l.
The government, in fact, would not
have moved at all in this matter if it had
