Limit Unexplained
The miners were instructed TO
work until Oct. 81 under the di-
rection OF Solid Fuels Administra-
tor Harold L. Ickes, custodian OF
the mines since they we're seized
by the government May l. No
explanation was given for the Oct.
81 limit. The miners will work
under the terms OF the l9il-43
coal wage contract as modified by
the War Labor Board TO give the
miners wage gains totaling about
20 cents daily.
Union officials were authorized
TO continue pressing claims for un.
derground travel pay, the major
issue in the dispute in which the
miners, the coal operators and tho
WLB have been involved for three
months.
The only apparent hitch to gen
eral acceptance OF Lewis terms
lay in the effectiveness Of protests
that the miners should not be per
mitted to insist that the govern.
ment operate the mines. The
unions refusal to accept last
weeks WLB order represented
continued defiance Of the board

what effect the agreement TO end

What Dickens Thought
About Christmas

Christmas time! That man must
be a misanthrope indeed, in whose
breast something like jovial feel
ing is not aroused-in whose mind
some pleasant associations are not
awakened-by the recurrence of
Christmas.
Who can be insensible to the out
pourings of good feeling, and the
honest interchange of affectionate
attachment which abound at this
season of the year? A Christmas
family party! We know nothing in
nature more delightful! There seems
a magic in the very name of Christ
mas. Petty jealousies and discords
are forgotten; social feelings are
awakened in bosoms to which they
have long been strangers; father
and son, or brother and sister, who
have met and passed with averted
gaze, or a look of cold recognition,
for months before, proffer and return
the cordial embrace, and bury their
past animosities in their present
happiness. Kindly hearts that have
yearned toward each other, but have
been withheld by false notions ID
pride and self-dignity, are again
reunited, and all is kindness and
benevolence! Would that Christmas
lasted the whole year through Gas it
ought, and that the prejudices and
passions which deform our better
nature were never called into action
among those to whom they should
ever be strangers!

TOYS for Deyelonment

Children enjoy toys with which

RURAL AMERICA
rs HARD TO DECEIVE

THE PEOPLE of rural America
prefer to do their own thinking When
given accurate information on which
to base opinions they arrive at a
right answer. They base their ap-
proval or disapproval of government
al activities on the facts and figures,
the accomplishments, those activi-
ties produce. When the facts are
known, they will be thoroughly dis
cussed and digested among these
people who will form their own opin-
ions as to what values the govern
ment is offering. They quickly de-
tect and resent the presentation of
false information fed to them for
the purpose of deceiving. From the
general store forums come more
sane decisions than are produced by
the roaring editorials of the city
partisan press. Rural people rep
resent the most intelligent mass
audience in America.
THE PEOPLE EMPLOYED to file
duplicate copies of reports demand
ed by Washington bureaucrats would
more than man the largest airplane
plant in the nation. Those theo-
retical bureaucrats cannot so much
as explain the theory that is back
of their demand for duplicate
copies.
THE BIG CITY is but a jungle of
unknown, uninterested faces in
which the individual is entrapped.
The town is the open field of sun
shine, of smiles, of friendly greet
ings and the interested faces of
friends.
1T is long, long way from Amer
lea to Berlin but the Yanks have
covered much of the road.
THE "DO" AND sDO NOT" of
unwise legislation can retard more
than advance American progress.
THANKS TO THE ENERGY AND
PATRIOTISM of the farmer, despite
the discouragements of spring floods
and a lack of appreciation at WASH
ington, the corn and wheat crops for
the year were far above normal.
The American farmer is doing his
full share, and more, in the war ef-
fort.
TO THOSE WITH MONEY in the
bank buying war bonds merely
means the transferring of their saw
ings from ore account to another,
with an added profit for doing SO.

Yule Accidents
Mar Festivities

Christmas is usually the happlest
day of the year, but at the same time
it is a day in which many serious
home accidents are likely to occur,
unless certain precautions are taken.
In fact three times as many
fatalities caused by fires occur in
December as in July, when the
nation celebrates with firecrackers,
Roman candles and the like. About
twice as many people die from
burns, scalds and explosions, ex-
cepting confagrations, during the
last month of the year as compared
with July, and there are twice as
many firearm fatalities in the homes
this month as there are in July,
according to the National Safety
Council.
Lightweight materials, tree decor
ations or even "Santa Claus" himself
may catch fire from candles, If
electricity is available in the home.
it may be far less expensive to pur-
chase small set of bulbs and wiring
for the evening decorations. Candles
burning in windows with loose cur
tains are equally dangerous and
should not be used.
Falls from icy steps and walks,
especially when they are covered
with snow, are among the most
common accidents of the Yulet,de
season. Although it may give an
unattractive appearance, scattering
ashes or sand over the ice may pre-
vent broken arm or leg, or perhaps
a fatal injury to member of the
family or to visitors.
Sharp and bulky toys left on the
floor, stairs or in a doorway fire.
quently cause injuries to those step
ping on them when the room is in
semi-darkness.
Highly-polished, waxed floors and
icy shoes form a combination that
increases the danger from falls.
Fatigue from keeping late hours
during the holiday season and the
hurry associated with Christmas
preparations are likewise conducive
to home accidents.

OUR RETURNING FIGHTERS
WILL SHAPE AMERICA
Released by Western Newspaper Union.

IN SEPTEMBER of 1918, in COM
pany with titled Englishman-a
British lord-I was walking along
the Strand in London, in the direc-
ton of Trafalgar square. Coming
toward us was group of British
soldiers, back to "blighty'' from the
battlefields of France. The ten or
a dozen Tommies were taking the
entire width of the narrow side
walk and we stepped into the street
to let them go by. AS we resumed
our way, said to his lordship:
THAT incident illustrates the diff
ference between the England of five
years ago, the England of today
and of the future. War, and their
service to their country, has taught
those soldiers new meaning of
democracy. They no longer defer
to a title. They will recognize abil-
ity and demand their place in the
sun when they can demonstrate abil-
ity. That is the England of today
and will continue as the England of
tomorrow.
World War I made radical social
changes in England. World War II
will make of America whatever the
men and women of our armed forces
may want America to be. More
than 10 million of them will be COM
ing home in the not-diStant future
after having fought Americas bat
ties.
If the America of the past is the
America they want for the future,
that is what we will have. If they
believe a form of state socialism,
such as some bureaucratic chiefs
and coterie of planners at Wash
ington would create, would be best,
we will have just that.
My guess is that these men and
women of our armed forces will
want the America, the American
way of life, for which they have
been fighting. They will want, and
demand, the opportunities it has pro-
vided. They want the chance to own
and live in the big house on the hill,
but they do not want that it be given
to them. They want the privilege
and the opportunity of securing it
by the exercise of their own ability
and efforts. That is the America
we have had in the past and, I be-
ieve, it will be the America we will
have in the tomorrows of the imme-
diate future. World War II has
taught the men and women of our
fighting forces a new and greater
appreciation of our American way
of life.

Washington, D. C.
RECOGNIZE SMALL NATIONS


One result of the Big Four con-
ferences may be a greater partici-
patton of small nations in the United
Nations councils. President Roose-
welt is known to advocate this. Also,
he would like to shift the council
meetings from London to Washing
ton.
The idea of greater recognition of
little nations is based not only on
fairness and equity, but also on the
fact that Latin American nations are
getting increasingly hurt, if not pro-
voked, over being left out of inn
portant United Nations parleys.
A large number of small nations
are now belligerents, having de-
clared war against Germany, while
at least two of them-BraZil and
Mexico-are strategically vital to
the war. Without Brazilian bases,
for instance, it would be almost i'm
possible to ferry planes back and
forth to North Africa with such rapid
efficiency.
1t was originally planned, in ad-
vance conversations (prior to Mos
cow between ex-Undersecretary of
State Sumner Welles and Roosevelt,
also between the President and
Churchill, to include smaller men,
bers of the United Nations in an
overall organization. A smaller
council of Great Britain, Russia, the
United States and China was to guide
the overall organization, but the
smaller nations were to be a very
definite and important part of the
setup.
Also, it was planned to have Unit
ed Nations headquarters in the fresh
er, more idealistic atmosphere of
Washington, not in the Old World
atmosphere of London.
Secretary Hull was not quite able
to put these two ideas across at Mos
cow, but the Presidents persuasive
influence on Stain and Churchill
may do so. He considers both items
important to getting a permanent
peace organization off with the right
foot forward.
