The last and most ambitious
of the three productions was
Man In The Stalls by Alfred
Sutro. Now, when amateurs as
pire to handle the tricky mental
maneuvers of sophisticated comedy
as confected by Mr.. Sutro, they are
cutting themselves very large hunk
of cake indeed. I was entirely un-
familiar with and uninformed about
the backgrounds of the members
of the cast of the play, but hadn't
listened to many lines before 1 be-
gan to suspect that the actors had
long since left their amateur stand
ings behind thenl-in fact, that
they were professional artists of
almost the first water. Thelma Ba-
tiste played with the name-in-e -elec-
tric-light gals of Broadway. Besides,
Mrs. Batiste's talent is aided and
abetted by the great charm of her
stage presence. And the work of
Reginald Henderson as the social
lion CATER his portrayal of quite
another type as rod man in the
gang play just preceding the Sutro
opus) makes us stand ready to eat
a steel field helmet if he hasn't
a long and versatile stock company
career tucked away under his belt.
Mr.. Henderson feels as much at
ease behind the footlights as a sea-
gull on the tip of a comfortable
hickory spar. And Lawrence Whiso-
nant, as the critic husband, was a
tale of sound and. fury that meant
a lot. He was worldly, he was suave.
and he was terrifying in turn. Al
fred Sutro has no kick coming on
the treatment of his show.

leading copper mining and smelling
centers of the Southwest.
The bus for the tour will leave
the depot on the Old Post at O'Clock
Sunday morning. A tour of copper
smelling and copper mining activities
will occupy most of the trip although
additional sightseeing highlights
will include many exceptional scenic
beauties.

.Hdqrs. Scores In
Insurance Sales

Captain Paul L. Longstreth, G. O.
Post Headquarters Detachment ODE
MID states that members of his de-
tachment have purchased $2,021 ,425
worth of insurance in the five week
period, July 8, 1943 to August 6,
1943.
The credit for sale of so large an
amount goes to 1st 1t. Allah L.
Butcher, executive officer of Post
Headquarters De a h m n t. 1t.
Butcher was an insurance salesman
in civil life and has therefore been
well qualified to explain the ad-
vantageS of insurance to detachment
members, particularly to the 80
NCO's who have over 20 years SER
vice and previously had very small
average amount of insurance each.
The high premiums these men
now have to pay, due to their age,
required considerable explanation by
1t. Butcher to show them that they
never the less profit by increasing
insurance protection for their
families.
Request for increases in policy
value by the few. men who have less
than $4,000 worth and have been
thinking it over, are still coming in,
and the detachment is striving to-
ward $4,000 insurance for every
man.

Pen Portrait Of
Isaac Snowden
Popular Scholar Tells About
His Experiences AT Fort
BY THELMA THURsTON GORHAM

BY THELMA ATHURSTON GORHAM
Almost everyone at Fort Huachuca
knows Isaac G. Snowden Variously
as Chaplain" Reverend" "Profes-
sor," doc" and plain MYSTERY but
there are lot of things that they
probably don't know about him.
Few people probably know, for
example, that he has taught school
at Fort Huachuca longer than any
other person connected with the
educational system in the County.
Before coming to Fort Huachuca
almost % years ago, he taught for
nine months in the E. and v. CD
ucational and VocationaD School at
Nogales, where he was stationed as
an Army chaplain with the 25th In
fantry. A native of Jackson, Tenn,
he came into the Army in 1918 and
was stationed at Camp jackson,
Columbia, S. c., before being trans
fererd to Camp Stephen B. Little
at Nogales, where he had the rating
OF first lieutenant.
His wife, Mrs. Alice A. SnoWden,
had been appointed hostess at Fort
Huachuca in 1921, when Mr.. Snow
den moved to the famous mountain
post where the old 10th Cavalry
was then stationed. Mr.. Snowden
was on crutches at the time, having
been injured when a e-drawn
government blackboard had been
wrecked with him and the late
Chaplain Carter. Recalling the acci-
dent, Mr.. Snowden says, chaplain
Carter broke his shoulder and I
broke my leg."
Long Tour AT Fort
1t was not until September 5,
1923, that Mr.. Snowden commenced
his long colorful career as school
teacher at Fort Huachuca. In what
was then the Huachuca district
school, he began as principal with
two teachers. One of the two orig
inal teachers, Mrs. Lydia Hague
was killed in an accident and Mrs.
Snowden taught with him for six
years. One of his first problems as
a school teacher was that of the
Indian pupils. When a room had
been set aside for Indian students.
they would not attend classes: but
When they were allowed to go, to
ana fro they became satisfied and
since that time there have always
been Indian students at the school.
The Col. Young school they at
tended en- masse. The largest num-
Der of Indian students to attend
the school during one session was
%.
BygOne Days
Mr.. Snowden, whose memories of
Fort Huachuca, go back to the days
When "the streets were nothing but
loblollies' of mud" is now principal
OF the relatively new building, where
old section and recently added wing
house both the Fort Huachuca High
and the Col. Young elementary
schools. He now has teaching staff
of seven.
With the assistance of his loyal
and helpful wife, Mr.. Snowden has
made himself definitely a part of
the community of Fort Huachuca
throughout the years he has worked
here.

plans were made to move the troops
off to some place where water was
more abundant.
All the houses on the Post, even
the imposing quarters of the offic-
ers, were heated by coal or wood
burning stoves and fireplaces. In the
Fry area, water was purchased at
so cents barrel. On the canton
ment, which is now known as the
Old Post, residents were limited to
two baths week. when the red
light on the flag pole came on, no
baths were allowed. There was no

Brooks.

the Post as those leading from the

sometime early this fall.

What has been achieved at Fort
Huachuca by the Quartermaster
Officer, has been a matter strictly
between him and the Post. Thus
one learns that he has done much
to put Fort Huachuca on the map.
AS a member of the Good Road
Association of Arizona for the past
six years, he has visited nearly
every city in the state, and has
made himself thoroughly acquainted
with members of Chambers of Com.
merce, Rotary and Kiwanis clubs
and other civic organizations Much
of this has been in the interest of
Fort Huachuca. He started the
building of the Fort Huachuca-
Nogales highway by building the
section between the Old Post and
the gate. His subsequent efforts
forced the building of the still-un-
finished highway, which he believes
will be completed next fall.
According to Col. Brooks own
statement, he came to Fort Hua-
chuca primarily to find water" Tt
is fortunate for Fort Huachuca
that he stayed to modernize and

ANOTHER eETHsEMAN17

The industry IS wondering whether
the presidents price control order will
be twisted by OPA to head off the
scheduled increase in the price Of crude
If it does, the nation will suffer severe
but needless hardship and the day Of
victory may be delayed. The startling
decline of production and the cessation
OF drilling is due to the fact that no
industry can continue to operate at a
loss, in the face of growing wage and
material costs. The producers-the hide
pendents who do most of the drilling
haven't the money to carry on.
Thus far, no ship has failed to sail,
no plane has been grounded and no
tanks have been immobilized by lack
Of petroleum products. The oil in
dustry has perfect record thus far.
But without immediate development
of more oil, this record is due to fail.
The season OF the year calls to mind
the paraphrase:
ooh, Mr.. Ickes. hast thou forgotten
us?"

Should We Stop Investing?

cost Of the proposed plan, but va
rious estimates have been made, run
ming as high as IS billion dollars a
year. Surely such a load could not
be placed upon country that is
already staggering under the colossal
burden of war.
Furthermore, the projection of any
social security program should be
tempered with the realization that
our population is aging. In New
England in 1880, for instance, the
number of persons IS years of age
and over was $4,000, and they CON
stituted 6.79o of the total population
of this region. By 1860, it is esti-
mated that this age group win aggre-
gate around 968,000, and form 119o
of the total. On the other hand, the
number of young people is ON the
decline. Those under Is years of age
in 1880, for instance, comprised
slightly less than $3.50 900. By 1860,
it is estimated that this group viii
total about 1,675,000, or $3.50 less.
An increasing burden would, there
fore, be placed ON the middle-aged
group.
The effect of an overall plan of
social security is to transfer the
rewards of industry, effort, and en-
terprise from the productive and
self-supporting to the non-productive
and dependent sections of the popu-
lation, and hence to discourage in
dustry and elf-rehanee and to en-
courage dependence on the bounty of
the state. Every special favor asked
of the government for protection
against the vicissitudes of life is at
the price of individual freedom. For
government aid is accompanied by
government control, with the result
tant growth of a Frankenstein bu-
reaucracy that saps the vitality of
the country and, if unchecked, is
followed by economic collapse, as
happened in ancient Rome when the
government provided bread and cir
Gus for the people.
By guaranteeing security, there
would be no incentive for great
many people to practice thrift, to
save for rainy day, or to provide
for the future welfare OF their chill
dren. To the INDECENT and shiftless
this would be an invitation for a
"free ride" at the expense of the
rest of the population. But there is
a point beyond which the majority
would have no incentive to carry
the heavy burdens involved Then
we would have a situation where
production would slaeken until al
would be on subsistence level. Ths
state would have to step in and com
pei people to work. The utopiaI
scheme would be swallowed up BIZ
fascist regime. Then the "foui
freedoms" of the Atlantic Chartel

and the "BiIl of Rights" under the
National Resources Planning Board
program would be "gone with the
wind" To make promises that are
beyond the realm of practical at
tainment invites cruel disillusiOn-
ment, bitterness, and despair.
The American system has the ca
pacity to provide steady jobs for
all those able to work and to make
provisions for the deserving. Mass
output with high productivity and
lowered costs has been the key to
our unmatched progress, with the
resultant benefits shared by all. So
eial security cannot be guaranteed
by decree or legislation, but in the
final analysis is dependent upon the
goods produced and distributed. Our
task is clearly to permit the econ
omy to earn its way.
While the American people will
likely insist upon some form of So
cial security, it should be built grad
ually upon a solid foundation; other
wise, it win be Of no avail. EN-
phasis should be placed upon high
productivity and upon sound policies
that viii make it possible for our
private enterprise system to work
smoothly without too many jars and
strains. We should reward those who
make the productive contributions
and provide for the deserving I'M
fortunates, but not glorify the in
competent and those who insist upon
rights without carrying their share
of the load. Furthermore, there
should be big gap between income
from work and subsidies for unem-
ployment. Otherwise, idleness with
security might be made too attrae-
tive for large segment Of the popu.
lation. Finally, dreams and ideals
should not outrun Judgment, or so
ciaI security viii be like the house

The monumental task Of raising $1S,-
000000,000 through the sale Of war
bonds shrinks into insignificance when
compared with the cost Of the war ef-
fort. War expenditures by the q. s.
Government in March alone totaled
s7,112,000,0Oo. The February expendi-
ture was over $4,000, 000, 000-so the
great war loan drive would finance
only two months Of war. The best we
can do seems but puny, but serves to
emphasize the Importance Of financing
the war enterprise.

The question frequently arises to-
day: What is the use7"
The question is based on the atti-
tude Of planners who have been
in the saddle for the last decade:
the people who have urged people
not to invest their funds-instead, to
let the planning boards care for the
future of everyone.
Some of us old-fashioned people
think that it will be fine to have
no worry about the future, with a
great, benevolent government to care
for our every need, yet we think it
would perhaps be 3 good idea to
have a few royalty checks coming
in; a few dollars from each of half
dozen or dozen oil properties, just
in case the government runs out Of
funds.
We look upon the much discussed
National Resources Planning Board
with sympathetic eyes. We are in
clined to believe that future plan
ming viii not give Us another Pearl
Harbor. The planners learned some
thing, at considerable expense to
many fine American boys, and their
planning may be more realistic In
the future. Also we realize that some
changes have taken place and viii
take place in our economic life.
Before anyone decides to stop saw
ing and investing, however, we urge
him TO read the Unconditional discus

UNDERLYING
PRINCIPLES
OF SOCIAL
SECURITY

not a new aspiration. Since the dawn
of history, mankind has been in
quest of security. AS it is a chal-
lenge that must be faced, the ques-
tion should be approached with sym
pathetic understanding and a keen
sense of social responsibility.
The principles underlying social
security are sound and communities
must, within their resources, allie
viate want and cushion the shock
of hard times. But in drawing up
any measure along this line, it is
imperative that the program be kept
within the economic capacity of the
nation, and that personal initiative
and enterprise may not be crippled
or paralyzed in the process. For if
this should happen, then the very
foundation of security would be Sc
riously undermined, if not destroyed.
