My favorite story of the week has to do with young lady who works in WIPE.
 As in all other government build ings, the engineers were trying nightly to comply with President Roosevelt's coal and oil conservation order to keep the temperature tc 68 degrees.
 There has been so many com plaints, the engineers could no long, CT ignore them. The place was freezing, the workers said. The en- gineers didn't believe it.
 Finally they sent one of the staff up to install recording thermom- eter-just to prove that the tenn perature was all that it should be. The employees eyed him suspicious ly. but nobody said anything until little secretary arose from her desk and said loudly, Never mind all that scientific stuff; just come over here and feel my feet"

GRAND OLD MEN
BY j. II. Jones

Washington, ID. G.. November 10
One of the most beloved former Off
Gals of the United States Govern
ment is Cordell Hull, who won his
spurs as Sena,or and entered Pres
ident Roosevelts Cabinet as Secre-
tary of State, position which he
held for twelve years, until his resig-
nation for reasons of health year
ago So far as the National Capital
is concerned it is unanimous in APP
prevail of the action of the Norwe-
gian Parliament in awarding the
1945 Nobel Peace Prize to Mr.. Hull;
specifically in recognition of the fact
that he worked ceaselessly for a
peace that would endure after all
the death and destruction were done
with. He is recognized throughout
the World as the Father of the
United Nations brought into exist
ence at Dumbarton Oaks and San
Francisco.
Another grand old man is Henry
l.. Stimson, who directed with wis
uOlh anu SlCot dpiiity tbC DOPeNi
ment of War from July 1910 until
the victories were won over the Ger
mans and Japanese. Although he is a
lifelong Republican and served as
Secretary of War under President
Taft, and Secretary of State in the
Hoover Cabinet, he was brought into
The Cabinet of President Franklin
ID. Roosevelt, for the outstanding
reason that lie was recognized as
one of the NEST competent and ablest
man in the Nation.
When the war was over, Mr.. Slim
son submitted his resignation to
President Truman, because of the
war had broken down his health. He
retired to his home at Huntington,
Long Island, New York, where he
has narrowly escaped death by rea-
son of heart attacks. But lie still
lives, and so does Cordell Hull. Those
are names that deserve to be record
ed at the top in American history.

Simplifying RecOnversion.

Out of the countless thousands of
statements, discussions and confer
ences on reconversion has finally
come a clear-cut summary of the
problem 1t gets at the heart of all
issues involved and if accepted and
followed will do more than anything
else to bring about that much-need-
ed teamwork between management
and labor.
This timely summary comes from
\. E. Barit, President and General
Manager of the Hudson Motor Car
Company, and evidences the fact
kat some industrialists are alert to
The basic need in our effort to get
On a peacetime footing.
In an interview with group of
lewSpapermen making national
survey of reconversion, Mr.. BART
said:
There was only one aspect of con-
version to war work. That was ply
steal conversion. There are two as
poets to reconversion-phys and
psychological The physical side of
reconversion, that of changing ma
chimes, and tools and plants to the
production of peacetime goods is and
has been a relatively simple task in
most industries. The psychological
aspect of reconversion is not as yet
accomplished-It kas not yet become
manifest to all, that peacetime pro-
luction is as important in maintain
ng our system of life as was war
line production when we were fight
ng to preserve this system. AS soon
Us it does we can then forget about
he worries of reconversion."
The President of Hudson has given
he country something to think
about. During the war there was a
concerted drive to make our people
war conscious. "Back the Attack"
vas the phrase of the hour. Yet moth
ng has been done to create an indi-
vidual and mass desire to Back
America" This will come, as Mr.
Barit we'll says, when sufficient at
tention is given to the psychological
side of reconversion.
AS Hudson was one of the first war
plants to reconvert to the peacetime
production of automobiles, it's Pres
ident is well qualified to point the
way to what is needed to bring that
era of uninterrupted production that
will provide the only secure base for
sound economy.

Farmers Have
Less to WORRY
Them This Time

Washington, d. C.-Farm prices stand
at 206 per cent of the 1909-1914 average
higher than the prices of 1918-and
will drop again but not as sharply as in
1921 because the Government is required
by law to maintain support prices of at
least 80 per cent of parity for two full
calendar years following the year in
which the war ends, The Department of
Agriculture has announced.
The announcement indicates the farm.
er. swil not be victim of drop in
prices similar to that which followed the
last war In 1921 when prices hit the low
of 115 per cent of the Mag. 1920, level
which was 235 per cent of the 1909
1914 level. Thus the farmer will have
more money than after the last war.
War Finance Committee officials said
that In addition to the maintenance of
the price level for two years, that nom
farm families already have, and are ac-
cumulating, weekly savings through the
Payroll Savings Plan Of the War Finance
Division Of the Treasury. This, they
claim is proof the non-farm front will
be much better able to support itself
than after the last war during the nor
farm products will have the money to
buy, it was said, and farmers should
avail themselves Of the opportunity to
acquire War Bonds during the Victory
Loan so as to have the money with
which to modernize and handle the nom
farm market demands that will be
backed with cash to pay sustained prices
during the two years after fighting
ceases
The Payroll Saving Plan has sold $751;
OOO,0OOO00 in War Bonds to wage earn
ers, that great bulk Of non-farmers who
will, If need be, enjoy the fruits Of their
savings in the reconversion period and
have the cash with which to support
themselves.
Secretary Of Agriculture Clinton P.
Anderson adds that prosperity Of the
farm depends primarily on purchasing
power in the city,"

1T was most vital part of our

Staub, General Seal Sale Chairman
for the Maryland tuberculosis Asso-
citation. 1.-THE armed forces were sue
cessfully controlling the disease by
x-raying every recruit; and through
our greatly increased x-ray program
we followed their lead AS a result,
we had no sharp rise in the Tuber-
culosis death rate which accompanied

Mr.. Staub further pointed out that

death rate at it's pre-war level, and
said, lit takes increased effort in or

BE THANKFUL EVERY DAY

Our Country has enjoyed a
Thanksgiving Day for which we
should be truly grateful.
Soil products have been bounteous
and farmers have generally had good
prices.
Our factories, mines, sawmills,
TRANSPORTATION, insurance and utility
companies have all been doing good
business and rendering a great SER
vice to the public.
Electric light and power, the tele-
phone and gas service are so common
to the average American family that
they are considered necessities, rath-
er than novelties or Injuries, as is
the case in most otker countries OF
the world.
Improved and paved highways
have ended isloation for the farm.
Labor saving appliances are as
common to the American housewife
as the latest labor-saving machinery
is in our factories.
The American workman has more
power machinery at his fingertips
tkan the workmen of any other ma
tion-therefore his production is
greater and kis wages the highest.
We have an unprecedented num-
Der of newspapers and publications
which keep us fully informed on To-
cal and world news, and the radio
supplements the public press as a
news dissemination.
Perfection may not exist in this
world, but so far as a government
can give liberty and protection to a
people, in conjunction with freedom
of thought and action, the United
States has gone further than any
other country.
True Americans should be thank
full every day for government
which makes it possible for us as a
people to develop and enjoy the spir-
itual and material advantages which
are ours.
While we should be tolerant of the
ideas and opinions of others we
should not be led astray by doc
trines preached by persons who, lack
ing information and understanding
of the principles which have made
this nation great, would substitute
schemes and theories which could
only detract from rather than add to
the advantages and liberties which
we now enjoy.
Prosperity and happiness have
come to this nation as the result of a
minimum of government coupled
with a maximum of individual op-
portunity. This is in distinct contrast
to the hardships, suffering and lack
of advantages which exist in coun-
tries having a maximum of govern
ment that stiles individual oppor-
tunity.
Let us keep Our Country free from
any experiment which would tend to
radically change our time tested sys-
tenn of government with it's unequal
ed record of blessings and advantages
for the people.
