if you'll let me start work, that it
will never happen again. How am
to know that the alarm clock

that way, I'll give you a chance"
A new start of any variety means
a clean break with the past. 1t
means closing the door on what one
has been accustomed to, turning
resolutely and walking in another
direction. 1t means throwing into
the trash can the things in which
we formerly put our trust and which
failed us in the hour of need. Many
people believe in oiling up the old
alarm clock, giving it a little shake
and hoping it will do all right the
next time.
Whether one is dealing with de-
fective alarm clocks, evil companions
or some bad habit which has fast
ened itself upon his character. the
thing most needed Is decisive action.
Chuck such things and persons into
the trash can where they belong and
start out with new resolution and

End Mob Tax Rule

Millions of people subject to stringent
new income tax laws are beginning to
find out the meaning of expression, "the
power to tax is the power to Destroy"
Taxes must be paid, even if it means de-
stroying living standards and the sacri-
flee of accustomed luXurieS. However,
these things can be tolerated providing
the burden is shared equally by all. I'm
fortunately, the tax laws are far from
equitable. For years taxes have been pro-
posed and levied upon no sounder basis
than cry to soak-the-rich. This kind of
mob tax rule will wreck productive indus
try and eventually individual freedom, if
continued in the face of drastically rising
taxes which will soon be taking twenty
five per cent OF the total national income.
Some of the worst iniquities in our tax
structure relate to corporate taxation
Corporations are the instruments by
which our great war production has been
achieved, and yet the tax laws are direct
ed with special vengeance toward them
as though they were menace. Harold
v. Bozell, president of the General Tele-
phone Corporation, clearly describes the
evil of double taxation of corporations:
g.. Under present laws one hundred
people doing business as owners of cor

es on the dividends they would receive
from corporations, pay much more in tax

would pay doing the same business as
partnership enterprise the corporate
form of business is the only practical So
luton so far devised in this country for
handling businesses of certain sizes and
kinds and our present methods of taxing
the earnings of that business =. plus
again. taxing the individual on the div
idends received, means that those par
ticular people are taxed according to

The government is asking much and
the people are giving willingly. But they
should insist that they be permitted to
give equally. Where revised tax laws are
required to attain farer distribution of
the tax burden, they should be revised
without delay

You Can't Bluff Nature

Nature is calling the bluff OF the So
government-owned hydro electric power
dams in the Southwest, under the pre-
tense that they were FLOOD control" prof.
ects. One such, the Pensacola Dam on the
Grand River in Oklahoma, furnishes a
typical example. Like other dams of its
kind, about fifty per cent of the cost was
met by the government on the excuse
that Federal aid was justified to cover
flood control. The congressman and sena-
tors, as well as the state government OF
Oklahoma, promised the people that the
project would prevent floods. But, accord
ing to a report submitted to the Tulsa
Chamber of Commerce, "For the second
consecutive year the people have lost mil
lions of dollars in property to flood, and
in exchange for what? That the Pensa-
cola property be permitted to earn from
the sale of additional prime power about
$4,000 annually
Behind this tragic incident lies the
whole iniquitous story of the Federal
power specialization program. Throughout
the country dams have been thrown
across rivers, and paid for by money
taken from all the axpayers-taxpayers
who are told, just as the people of Okla
homa were told, that these dams will pre-
vent floods. The simple fact is that they
cannot prevent floods where they are
kept full of water to turn the hydro gen.
orators which the politicians claim are
"incidental' to flood control When the
streams rise, the flood goes merrily on its
way over the spillways because there is
no place to catch the water.
If the old saying that you can't fool all
of the people all of the time is still true,
it is about time the power socialists took
to their heels. They have done lot of
fooling and sooner or later they will be
asked to make good.

Sickening Record

Local newspapers in two important de-
Tense centerS carried accounts short
time ago of two disastrous fires They
were nothing unusual. Similar occur
rences are taking place all over the coun-
try. In one of these fires, flames swept
through planning mill and lumber yard
doing an estimated $150,000 damage. In
the other fire, an entire block in a con-
gested district was wiped out leaving 200
persons homeless. Damage was estimated
at $4,000 At the end of this year, the
total fire bill for the nation will amount
to three or four hundred million dollars
"a tremendous sum even in these days
OF billions.
Who is to blame for this tragic and dis
astrous fire loss? No probing in the ashes
OF ruined buildings is necessary to find
the answer, because everyone is to blame.
We are careless nation. Any fire proven
ton authority is familiar with the SICK.
ening record, and can establish proof OF
our national carelessness with recital
of needless destruction that makes a
Joke of our touted war conservation ef-
forts The truth is that there can be no
real conservation until destruction OF
property by fire is effectively curbed.
Also, as any fire prevention authority will
testify, there can be no curbing of the
fire loss in this country until individual
citizens learn to take the simple precau-
tons which are necessary to prevent it.
Many agencies are striving to make
Americans fire conscious. Fire depart
ments, city, state and Federal officials,
together with private organizations, are
constantly pounding home the lessons of
fire prevention. If these lessons were but
received in the spirit that thew are given

life and property-fire losses would curve

INDECISIVE BROWN
Prentiss Brown is having a
tough time making up his mind
whether to resign as OPA Adj
ministrator. Several times he
has been just on the verge, then
backed away.
Inside fact Is that when
Prentiss gets wind that some
people around the White House
would like to have him quit,
then his back stiffens and he is
smitten with an acute case of
hold -on- to- office.
Judge Jimmy Byrnes of South
Carolina and Judge Fred Vinson
of Kentucky don't agree as to
whether Brown should stay.
Byrnes thinks his forced exit
would be a blow to loyal Demo-
crat and would be resented by
Democrats on Capitol Hill. Vim
son thinks Prentiss has too hard
a time making up his mind not
only about his own tenure of Of
flee, but about price control, and
is too vAcillating for the public
good.

Many Newsmen (And Much Secrecy
Cover Quebec Writers Interview Each Other

Using. To give the boys elbow-room,
the press conference was moved
across the street into the council
chamber of the Quebec City Hall.
A Navy captain who had been at
Casablanca, and an Air Force col
onel who had flown and fought all
over the Pacific were led up on a
daiS as sacrificial offerings and
slaughtered. Like all heroes, these
men didn't know how to talk about
wars - they just fought 'em. The
experiment was dismal flop and
that idea was abandoned by mutual
consent.
NEXT TO THE PRESS ROOM

ried censors-all Canadians. You
might wonder what they had to
worry about or what there was to
censor, since there isn't any news.
but that's what makes 1t tough.
When there isn't any actual news,
the correspondents have to specu-.
late, and speculation is what drives
censors into longing for the COM
parative peace and quiet of a fox
hole in the Solomon Islands.
News out of the Quebec Confer
ence is SO restricted that it isn't
even permissible to write about the

delete all reference to the weather

In spite of the dearth of news,

The Bell Tolls for Industry

The sound of September's school bells
Is going to fall jarringly on good many
ears this year. For the bells will be sum-
moning 100000 teen-age boys and girls
back to school from summer war jobs,
and adding another twinge to an already
severe manpower headache. Of course
employers knew they were getting tenn
porary help when they hired these high
school students. But that is not going
to make it any easier to fill the gap that
they will leave in the home-front ranks
For the employers, whether they are
farmers, heads of war plants, or proprie-
tors of retail businesses, were Woefully
hard up for help when this new source of
labor supply opened up last June. And
they will be just as hard up when the
supply is removed. The schools are going
to have trouble coaxing many of these
young workers back to their books
School is going to seem pretty prosaic
place to youngsters of II and 18 who have
been working in aircraft plants and ship
yards for wages which are, by any previous
standard, fabulous That is natural
reaction for which we can't blame them
Their jobs have given them feeling of
usefulness and independence and self
assurance. They have been living in a
mans world, doing mans work for
mans pay And the advice that some of
them are now receiving from parents and
school authorities must sound decidedly
stuffy.
1t is not easy for these young people to
realize that their first view of the business
world is not normal one, that time is
coming when they may need all the edu-
cation they can get in order to get job,
or that it may be years before they can
again receive the sort of wages paid them
this summer. The value of schooling has
been weary drone in the ears of gradual
ing classes for generations, but it's truth
is going to be sharply challenged by lot
o. high school students today. And the
fact of that truth is no more certain than
the fact that these students are still need
ed in industry and business and to less
er extent, in agriculture. So combined
schoolWork program seems the only feas-
ible solution. A few starts have already
been made in this direction. School off,
Gals lave led the way in most cases, but
in some communities employers and mer-
chants associations have taken the initla-
tive. Among the suggestions are slX-day
school weeks, an o'clock start for the
school day, special shifts for after-school
workers, and speed up graduations for
honor students.
There is one necessary adjunct to any
school-Work program which has not been
mentioned in any published plans TO GATE,
but which must not and probably will not
be overlooked. That is a viglant check on
the health of high school boys and girls
who combine studies with outside jobs.
They will inevitably miss a lot of the fun
ard a lot of the sleep they normally need.
And certainly no one should ask or per
nit them to sacrifice their health, critical
as the manpower emergency may be-

Speaking of we, preservation of
characteristics of youth and pro-
iongation of life, and who isn't
these days at least thinking about
it? I want to impress on the mind
of every reader who is still young
the paramount Importance of keep
ing them that way. If you wonder
what I'm talking about I'll tell you
now-I'm talking about good sound
teeth. Unless you have full COM
plement of sound teeth, all teeth
functioning, you can't be as young
as you should be at your age, nor
can you have vite. If you are so
Indifferent in respect to preservation
of health as to limp along for
months or years minus one or more
teeth you cannot hope to attain
long life.
Please don't cite Granpappy
Geezer who lost all his teeth forty
years ago and is still going strong
that there are thousands of tooth
less folk of advanced age who are
at the age of Sc. am not unaware
still breathing. Let's not set our
sights on them. am too painfully
aware that there are many more
toothless or nearly toothiess old
geezers who have lived scarcely
fifty years, yet have grown so old
that they just don't care.
But you young people-it doesn't
matter how many years you have
lived, If you still have all your teeth,
or your dentists teeth if you've lost
any Of your own, all teeth function
ing, you are still youthful. and If
you keep 'em that way you will
keep your youth, your vite and you
will attain a hale and hearty old
age in contradistinction to the peev-
ish, cantankerous, feeble, sickly old
age of the individual who has neg
lected his teeth.
Please, young ones, do not mis-
understand me. In my opinion 1t
doesn't matter whether you ever
bother to brush your teeth-that is
merely a question Of personal taste
or appearance-that is, If you feel
more comfortable or believe you
look better for brushing your teeth,
there is no harm in it. Only your
dentist can keep them clean, and
you have to have them properly
inspected, scaled Of tartar or other
deposits. polished or If necessary
bleached by the dentist at least
twice a year no matter how much
you brush 'em.

PARATROOP MIRACLE

There was one thrillir.a. bit of
untold history regarding the AL
lied landing in Sicily which now
can be revealed. A division of
U. S. parachute troops actually
stopped about two Nazi divisions
which were dashing to the seacoast
to await Allied landing barges.
This occurred the night before
: the landing barges arrived. Had
the paratroopers not succeeded in
holding up the Nazis, U. S. troops
might have landed literally in
blood.
What happened was that the
paratroopers, coming down mys-
teriously at night, not far from the
Naz divisions, fooled the enemy
into thinking he was outnum-
bered. Actually, paratroop d.
vision is far inferior in numbers
to a division of ground troops. But
the Nazis could not tell in the
dark how many Americans there
were, got the impression that the
sky was packed with paratroop-
ers.
So they decided to camp for the
night and get ready for a fight
the next morning. But the day.
light U. S. landing barges were
safely ashore.

Selected Poem
BARRACKS NIGHT
(Sgt Frederick Ebright in the New York Times)

(Sgt Frederick Ebright in the New York Times)
Here in this room half way across the world
soldier sings and strums battered old guitar,
But beyond his song he sings the hills of home,
The hills unutterably blue unutteraby far.
Another shuffles cards upon his bunk
And patiently lays out hand Of solitaire,
But more clearly than the faces on the cards
He sees the picture OF face not there
And one lad reads again letter some weeks old
With the unrelenting hunger of all exiles.
And briefly from the silent words upon the page
A voice calls out across ten thousand miles.
