Negro vote in the nine pivotal
states above the Mason-Dixon line.
Kent doesn't like Willkie much
more than he does F. D. R. Pos

not so much a boost for Willkie as
it was to harm him.
Of significance to Negro political
leadership was Kent's statement:

YOUTH LEARNS A LESSON

Most local high school boys-and high
school girls. too-learned an important
lesson last week.
The lesson which was effectively dem
onstrated is that there is definite line
between mischief and law-breaklng. and
very vivid line indeed between mischief
and serious criminality.
Specifically, some fifteen high school
bovs were found involved in circle oil
auto accessory thefts, Apparently in
the trouble which eliminated IN the court
room of Judge Thompson, each lndl-
viduals part in the program varied from
marginal involvement to very serious
participation.
While the facts remain secret as Is
customary in juvenile matters, the re
suits were that Judge Thompson mace
six of the BOYS wards Of the court, lndl-
eating a serious degree of responsibility
and the balance have been placed on cor
rective probation.
In his rulings, Judge Thompson APP
narentlv tempered Justice with kindness
and good. keen judgment of youth pSy-
chology. Each case. the ruling indicates
was Judged on its merits, varying penal
ties being eXacted in proportion to the
seriousness of each boys participation:
Not only the culprits, but the whole
rank and file of high school boys and girls
will benefit from the unhappy occurrence.
Watching and discussing what was gong
on. these young people saw that the law
means what it says, that there is such
thing as right and wrong and II person
doesn't observe the rules, there are I'M
portant penalties.
Judge Thompson was aware of this
audience. He must have known that here
was chance to teach all as we'll as those
most intimately involved.
His handling of the matter was well
fitted to this end. as we'll as the objective
not of exacting revenge punishment but
of preventing any of these people from
growing up with wrong outlook on lie.

DETAILS THAT COUNT
{ Berkeley Gazette)

The Importance of little things is an
old story, but this war is giving it some
new applications. The Coast Guard, for
instance, urges all boats to include metal
mirrors among their equipment, for the
flash of a mirror has often attracted
the attention of a searching plane or
vessel and thus saved lives.
Another point is that plastic whistles
arc better than metal, because metal in
very cold weather will freeze to the lips.

(MarySVllle AppCal-DemoCraD
Whatever its benefits in stepping up
production, ii is obvious that President
Roosevelts order proclaming a 4S-hour
week will present serious problems. They
will not. however, be felt in most parts
of the country if the order is confined to
the centerS Of war industry, as is mdi-
Gated Only three cities on the Pacific
coast are now affected and it probably
never will reach rural areas such as this.
Most Of the war industries can stand
the increased cost. In all industries in

proportion of the total. time and one half
will be paid fer work in excess of 40 hours
week This may not cripple the big
companies. but il is likely to put some
small businesses out of commission. 1t
will reduce the net incomes of all. 1t
will also increase workers incomes at a
time when they have been curbed to help

THERE'S A HOUSE
ON SIXTH Street

There's a house on Blank street that
we pass every evening when going nome
from work. We don't know the folks who
live in it. But they and the house seem
to typify the right kind of American
spirit and home.
Months ago, we saw the master OF the
household start work on his grasSlesS
ward. plant it to seed and produce a love
ly green carpet We took as much inter
est in the development of the procedure
as he did. But he got the fun OF dong IL
with his own sweat and labor.
We've noticed his wife out working
with him in those hours after work:
Shrubs, clean white paint both OF
them hard at it, side by side enjoying
the fruits of mutual interest, common OBJ
iectiva, and creativeness.
People can read all the books, see all
the movies, drink all the cocktails they
like. but they won't get as much enjoy,
ment from the lot of it as can be obtained
from participating in the very thing these
people are doing, revelling in every detail
of existence
Possibly the curtailment of activities
as the result of war limitations Will lead
people back to the simple things and re-
veal to us that happiness does not lie
merely way over there somewhere, but
is abundant at our feet if we will but look
down and touch it.
