Milford, Friday, November 10, 1S4s

NOVEMBER is cold rains and
raw evenings and bright, crisp days
and a few fugitive snatches of In
dian Summer. 1t is brown oak
leaves fluttering in the sunlight
which slants from far to the south.
1t is birds screaming and twitter-
ing and a swift, silent flight of teal
beating downwind in the early dusk.
1t is crisp frost in the dawn.
November is a hearth fire and
apple cider and pumpkin pie with
plenty of spice in its brown good
ness. 1t is topcoat and gloves and
a muffler under the chin. 1t is
storm doors and storm sash and an
ice fringe along the streams. 1t is
sausage and hot cakes and wild
fowl and game, with lots of pota-
toes to make up for the shortage
of meat.
November is rubbers and ga
loshes and umbrellas. and snifflesR
1t is ashes from the furnace-may-
be. 1t is a busy bucksaw. for the
countryman. 1t is election. orderly
and democratic. 1t is Armistice
Day, when we remember another
war with the goose-steppers. 1t is
Thanksgiving. 1t is reminder
that winter weather is just around
the corner.

O'DAY-Loving memories of my
mother. Ida. who passed away Mo-
vember 20, 1942: ~
One year has passed. dear mother.
Since you We're called away
You suffered much and murmurred
AS we watched you day by day.
We cried and prayed that your dear
life
Would not he taken away.
We are lonely. dear mother. without
you,
Lonely, and oh, so sad at heart.
You were our joy and sunshine,
Why did we have TO part?
In my heart is stamped a picture
Which can never be erased.
OF you. my darling mother,
With your soft and gentle face.
My heart is ever longing
Your precioUs voice to hear
And though | know you are sleeping
Your presence seems so near.
Those who have a mother
Tend her with loving care
You will never know her value
Until you see her vacant chair.
May my Saviour keep me faithful
AS | ever trust to he
But when He comes in glory
Darling mother 4 will see. ~
When that happy day dawns in the
future
Happy then will he my heart
For we will always he together
Never more again TO part.
Sadly missed by Ida and Horace. 1tp

title. Is the church reaching this
generation? What about the loyal
ty of discipleship? What means
the new interest in religious read
ing? The author has given us a
lively discussion. There will be
minor disagreement but major ac-
cord with his views. "The great
revivals of history pivot around
commanding personalities who in
carnated and proclaimed the Cos
pei in terms of the salient issues
of the times in which they lived and /
worked. They spoke to the situa-
ton in the situation. This is also
true of the prophets of Israel, who /
spoke to their times and received
their calls through the pressing
necessities and expressing sins of
heir situations.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY has
reason to expect that after Novem-
ber, 1914. it will be charged with
the administration of the federal
government-both from the White

ing resentment over the country
against the hit-or-miss operation of
the Washington bureaucracy, sup
ported by the steady turn of cleo
tions against the New Deal, makes
this eventuality something more
than a hope.
1t was the part of wisdom, there
fore, on the part of party officials
to call together into conference the
elected officers of the party who
compose the Republican Postwar

weeks ago completed it's first meet

ADVERTISING GETS
SENATOR'S PRAISE

The vital role that advertising
has played in winning the war won
the praise recently OF U. S. Senator
! Harry S. Truman of Missouri.
Speaking before the Central
Council of the American Associa-
tion of Advertising Agencies, Sen
ator Truman said:
If there had been little knowl-
edge of better things and no stim-
ulatiOn of the desire to obtain
them. we would not have created
the factories and machinery which
have enabled us to amaze the world
in the production of war mate
rial.
IF our people had not known of
the better times in store for them
after victory. they would not have
appreciated so thoroughly what we
are fighting for and il would have
been difficult to increase the pro-
duction of war material when the
quantity of civilian goods which
workers could buy with increased
wages was small"

SOME OF HIS AGENTS should
tell Hitler about the America that
lies behind the Alleghenies and east
of the Sierra. Not Detroit or any
of the other centers of machine pro-
duction. but the deep. black farm
lands where ripe corn now stands
in rustling ranks over millions of
acres. and wheat and oat and bar
ley fill the bin to overfiowing. A
trip through this land makes an
American proud of his country's
starength, confident of her future
Could Hitler see it he would un-
derstand some things his intuition
can never make him know.

high waters that drowned out
whole counties and set back first
growth and new paintings by weeks.
But shOrt-handed farmers replant-
ed. worked night and day; and now
the corn is ripe. siXty-bushel corn
waiting for the huskers. Small grain
bore heavily. Hay was good. Can
merry crops were almost up to rec
ord marks-although cannery help
was so scarce that sometimes the
farmers themselves spent nights
helping out.
Today one sees feeder cattle in
the fields and pens-more cattle
being fattended here than in many
years, some say. And hogs, mil
lions of hogs. A good many sheep
where there normally are few. And
chickens, of course; every farm
yard has its huge flock
The Middle West in autumn is
always a heartening sight, but this
year it is downright jubilating TO
see. 1t has done magnificent job
of production. under a double hand
leap of weather and labor troubles.
Perhaps it is well there is an un-
official rationing of travel. or the
city folk would come and see and
indulge in overcinfdence-w which
the Midwesterners. by the way,
seem to be avoiding.
But if Hitler could only see for
what has happened on this
sector of the Home Front he surely
would be tempted to call it quits.
Since he can't see for himself, he
won't believe, but someone should
tell him about these things.
