Our very capable business managers-to them go most of the headaches concerning finances, printing, subscriptions and the like-are MT. Leslie Bingham and MT. Jack Hoover. They need no in troduction. Mrs. Mildred Peck, who has been in touch with most of you in order to get your reac- tion to such a project as this, will serve in the capacity of circula
 tion manager and try to keep us straight about your addresses. It will be her duty to see to it that this paper comes to you regularly every month. Father Daily is serv- ing as Editor He has had some little experience with his own par ish paper and will try to put this experience to good use in serving the boys in uniform. Mir. Camp bell Milvae, young man very much interested in the job we are trying to do, will likewise lend his aid. Others, from various sections of the town have gratiously con-
 sented to relay to us whatever news they can scare up. These are, at present-there will be others later-Miss Marion Scott, Mrs. Ira Barnard, Mrs. Henry Scheele, May Manion and Irene Forster.
 Of such, then, is our editorial staff composed. It is their one wish that "The Messenger" shall be the finest paper possible for the purpose it serves. They want you to help them. Send us your re-
 actions. Keep in touch with us. If there is any way we can help you in communicating with your folks or doing things for you ar getting things for you as far as we are able, let us know. Send your com munications to "The Messenger"

GreetingS

We'll, fellahs, here it is coming at you,-your first Messenger" your own newspaper, meant for you, written with you in mind. You're it's inspiration. You've been waiting for it for a long time, as we know from some of your let ters. And we've been thinking about it for a long time, too, wondering just when we would get around to publishing it and send ing it to you;-because it IS quite a while since the idea was first conceived in the minds of some of your friends back home here,- but as you know, new ideas are slow in catching on, and the whole thing needed just so much con- centrated effort to get 1t going and the organization to make 1t reality. Now, all the preliminary work has been done, so here we are admiring ourselves in print and coming to you, wherever you may be, for the first time.
 We've called our little paper ''The Messenger r,"-and don't think that didn't take little doing, too! It's easy enough to say you're going to send out a paper each month to the boys in the service, but it's got to have name; it's got to be called something; and the name that's given to it should have some meaning and should be distinctive yet easy to remember. We'll, after trying this word and that word, and after throwing away those which didn't appeal, we finally all of a sudden came upon the very common word, messenger. It seemed to sound good and it had the meaning that we wanted it to have, so we put a capital at the beginning of it and put it to work. So "The Messenger" it is. You see, the whole purpose of this paper is to serve as means of communica- tion of our thoughts back home to you, to send you the local news, especially the kind of news that you aren't apt to get in whatever newspapers may be sent to you, and to hope that you're going to write to us and tell us about your selves, as much as the censor will allow. In that way we'll feel that you are still among us, and that
The messenger., 1943-05-01
we, even there may be hundreds

us one from the other, may not be forced to lose contact with those who are near and dear to us, and of whom we're mighty proud.
 It's important that you look upon this little endeavor of ours as your newspaper. We want you to help us write it. We want you to tell us if it doesn't interest you. We want you to give us sugges- tions as to how we may make 1t something that you'll look forward to every month.
 Maybe, too, a little explaining would help to make clearer this whole business. This is a town af fair. The whole town has a part in it. It isn't the work of any one group or organization. This idea found birth first in the mind of Mrs. Stephen Francis. She talked it over with a group of women of the Women's Guild, who in turn communicated with all the organ ization in town. A meeting was called, an editorial staff was ap- pointed composed of the people whose names appear in that capac- ity further on, and thus the work was under way. The organizations want to finance the paper within their own individual limits, but it is planned, too, to seek subscrip- tions among all the families of Bloomfield, and thus place the paper on sound footing that will guarantee it's continuance as long as you are away from home.
 And we think we can truthfully say that the town is excited about "The Messenger,"- and that's as it should be. You know what it means to excite the people in Blooomfield. It takes a lot to do it. Tn fact, it's a long, slow, pain full process. No, it's no easy matter to get us really moved, but once we are, there's no telling where we will stop. Attendance at any town meeting should be enough to prove that point. So we know the townspeople are interested. They want to do something for you, even though it be small, just as you are doing something, a great deal more important, for them. The staff, then, will be act ing only in the name of all of them.
 Which reminds us,-it's about time you met "The Messengers" staff. Here they are, one by one. First of all, there is Mrs. Stephen Francis, whom we've mentioned

PLANNED HOUSE OF CARDS

. The planned economy" this ma.
tion is living under has promoted
high production costs while de-
manding low prices for consum-
ers. The formula reads well. but
it doesn't work. You can't arbi-
trarily boost the cost of produc-
tion and hold down the cost of
living.
This is being illustrated once
more in the falling off OF new oil
discoveries. Wildcat drilling can
not be carried on with hot air. 1t
takes money-mOre money than it
did before the war BOOM" 0PA
suggests a government subsidy"
(money from every taxpayers poe
ket), in lieu of a necessary crude
oil price increase, to encourage
the search for new oil reserves
which will soon be desperately
needed by this nation.
Petroleum Administrator Ickes
has recommended an average in
crease of IS cents a barrel, instead
of subsidy. Oil men do not want
subsidies which mean taxpayer
financing of wildcatting. Many pro-
ducers feel that the subsidy pro-
posal is an attempt to put the gov
ernment into the oil business.

D0 IT NOW

Record war wages paid with tax
and bond dollars have created an
inflated standards of living not
based on true values. Eventually
such wages must fall, either in
purchasing power or in the num-
ber of dollars received. When that
happens, the counteracting force
will be efficient, low-cost produc-
tion and distribution of necessi-
ties. In the future it should be a
matter of public policy to encour-
age industry in every legitimate
way.
1t has long been highly popular
for aspiring politicians to attack
mere size or efficiency in business
as detrimental to competition. In
the field of retail distribution, the
chain stores have been favorite
legislative targets. Punitive tax
laws were passed against them in
many states, not so much to raise
revenue as to limit their operating
efficiency. This subsidized inef1-
cheney at the expense of the con-
sumer. Such laws are in direct
conflict with the battle against in
fiation. because they increase op-
Grating costs.
AS one chain spokesman OBJ
serves: "Chains are justly proud
of their contribution to economical,
efficient distribution. In reducing
the cost of doing business and ex-
tending better service to the pub
lie, chains were not mOtivated by
a desire to cripple competitors.
They set an example for able dis
tributors to follow in improving
their own business methods and
service TO customers. Chains rec
ognize that in a democracy the
people should have available all
types of outlets and all varieties
of service they require. Nothing
should be done under the sponsor
ship of government to hamper the
opportunities of any form of re-
failing to continue in existence so
long as it is accepted by the pub
lie.
Now is the time to repeal laws
that retard efficiency at the ex-
pense of the consumer.

RADIANT LIVING
FIGURING OUT LIFE
BY REV. C. M. GRIFFETH
Pastor Methodist Church, Cecilton. Nd.

1t will take no argument to con-
vince you that to arrive at the cor
rect answer of any mathematical
problem, you must have a right
start. If the figures with which
you begin are wrong, it will be
impossible to come to the right
conclusion, even though you may
figure all day long.
This is the simple reason why
so many people can not solve the
problem of daily living. This is
why they become victims of acci-
dents. This is why sickness over
takes them. This is why extra un-
forseen expenses come along and
eat up all the money they make.
The reason is that they always
start to figure out how much the
thing which they contemplate do
ing is going to work out to their
own self advantage. At no time do
they consult the will of God.
When figuring out the problems
of life. there is only one right be-
ginning. 1t is to start with God.
This is what the greatest Teach
er concerning life has Himself de-
clared: Seek ye first the kingdom
of God, and His righteousness and
all these other things shall be add
ed unto you"
But to start with self" is to in
vite the invisible forces of Divine
Law not to add" but to sub
tract" from you. Haggai has de-
scribed this subtraction most vivid
ly as though he knew all about
your experience when he declar-
ed: "He that eaTneth wages earn
eth wages to put it into bag with
holes"
If you have come face to face
with some trouble. begin to think
your way back to where that trOu-
Die started and you are very apt
o discover that, at the point of I
there was some selfish
iesire, some thing which you crav-
ID. but concerning which you did
lot consult the will of God.
The most difficult problem in life
an be solved when we begin with
iod.
