Most of the training that will do
young people the most good in life
is received, or at least could be re-
ceived in the home. Here industry,
thrift, courtesy, good manners, hon.
esty, Sobriety, sincerity, tl1lthfulness
and loyalty can he taught best. 1t is
also possible in the home to teach
correct posture, poise, correct speech
and pleasant, well modulated voices.
These things are often overlooked,
but after all they are the things that
make or break the individual. With
out these a college education is of
little value. With them people have
been known to make wonderful sue
cesses of their lives without a college
education. Here is also a word to the
girls in the home, and boys too, who
don't avail themselves of music les
sons and learn to play piano. There
never was young woman who re-
jected the opportunity Ito learn to
play the piano during her younger
years who did not regret it keenly
a thousand times after she grew up
and became too busy to learn. 1t is
all right to blow a French horn or
a trombone in the high school band,
but after one gets out of school and
becomes grown up it is not regarded
as an accomplishment and possesses
little attraction as a mature accom-
plishment The young woman-and
man who can play a piano well is
always in demand. They are the
center of attraction and the life of
the party = ~

AS time goes on the demands of
war are going to continue to draw
more heavily upon the. small COM
munities such as this. The service
is going to continue to call our young
manpower as will the defense plants.
As the war machine gets under way
more and more lines of mercandise
are going to dwindle to fewer items,
leaving only the necessities. The
struggle to maintain its institutions
is going to become increasingly diff
ficult dor the small communities
such as ours. I'm view of this fact 1T
becomes not only important but a
necessity that we conserve every re-
source we may have that the burden
may not he too heavy to bear. One
way to aid in this is for each of us
to resolve to spend his money at
home with the home merchants. Re
gardless of what as been our prac-
tice in the past the time has come
to make adjustments everyone is
being called upon to make adjust
ments. Let one of these adjustments
be that we will trade at home more
and thus defend our own home front.

IAN people don't yet realize the

lean people don't yet realize the
gravity of the situation" But as
many colunnists have been pointing
out, Washington officialdom has Gre
ated confusion and indecision in the
minds of the people The conflicting
official reports" that still seep out
of Washington concerning such basic
issues as rubber, fuel, gasoline, the
draft, etc., have attained the stat
ure of a national scandal. Only
lately, Through Elmer Davis Office
of War Information, has start
been made toward clarifying official
policy. Every poll indicates that
the American people are willing and
ready and even eager to make any
necessary sacrifice-if only their
leaders will tell them simply and
clearly what sacrifices are needed.
We are just beginning to feel the
economic effects of war. Non essen
tial businesses are closing fast.
Whole occupations as that of
the salesman-are being virtually
wiped out. As store inventories run
down, it will be impossible to buy
such once-plentiful conno ODDITIES as
radios, stoves, water heaters, and any
number of other conveniences. Taxes
will he even heavier next year than
they are now, and it seems inevitable
that a sales tax and some form of
enforced savings will soon be adopt
ed In many fields, the labor short
age is acute. These are but a few
of the consequences of total war. !
As the war enters its fourth year,
Germany and Japan dominate an
immense part of the globe. They
have gained through conquest, gu
gantic quantities of vital raw ma
terials. Despite its losses, the Ger
man army is still the most potent
military machine on earth. But, at
the same time, Americas growing
military power is at last being felt.
The U. S. Army is increasing fast
in numbers, and it is being superbly
equipped. The u. S. navy and air
forces have demonstrated that they
have splendid striking power and
brilliant Leadership. The courage of
Allied lighting men is beyond ques-
tion. To paraphrase Winston Chur-
chiE''s phrase, if we give these fight
ing men enough tools, they'll finish
the job. ..,. j.. ....-..-.... - (, 4

KEEPING WARM

KEEPING WARM
Our women aren't worried about
securing warm clothes for this COM
ing winter regardless of the earlier
hints that woolens would be hard to
buy. There has been added talk Of
reducing heat in buildings and
homes this winter and all of which
causes doctors to advise the wearing
consequently of woolens for added
warmth and health's sake. Old wo-
men rush to stores to buy wholesale
lots of flannel nightgowns, wooden
underwear, heavy robes, sweaters?
They did not. Women shoppers feel
there is plenty on hand and don't
seem to lose sleep over chill winds
of winter. Fashion has added WOOL
en- overalls and Westees to wear un-
der sport clothes which will add
warmth, so we figure the doctors
won't need to worry about folks
catching cold from lack of warm,
WOODEN clothes. II.

pared and read by Mrs. Clifford

home OF Mrs. Faron Hayden.
Mrs. Schrelner spoke OF parents
who do too much and those who do
TOO little for their children, spelling
their future. The ideal American
home. she said. is one in which
parents love each other and their
children, and where the home is
ruled by common sense and the
Bible. She interspersed her talk
with poems pertaining to the Amer
lean home. There are problem par
ents as well as problem children.
she asserted. Parents who present
the biggest problem, she said, are
those who are clinging vines, be-
cause il IS hard for children to cope
with parents who cling too loving

own.
