Gratitude

THERE ISN'T newspaper alive
who doesn't at times have the same
low thoughts.
What n the deuce is it all about?
Why are We working our fool
heads off?
Who gives a boot if our nerves
are like a blown-out muffler? Who
cares if We are worn TO a fragile?
Who cares if We have to work
seven days and four nights every
week so the sheet can go to
bed on time?
We fight among ourselves. We
fight with the public. We fight
with the politicians. Why? Do
they appreciate what we are trying
To do2 Do they have a good word
for us? Do they care if We are tired
out? Would they give us a cup of
java II we were cold and hungry?
What n heck is it all about?
We are slaves nobody loves
us. We are work horses and no
body appreciates us. We are dopes.
Ever so often this down-in-the-
mouth feeling creeps inside. We
begin TO feel sorry for ourselves.
We'd eat bread and dust if we
thought it would make people no
tice us care for us love
US say nice things about U.s.
We get lower than a snakes belly
cause VIC work so long and
so hard for every edition and
after pa and ma and all the kids
read it they express their feel
ings next day by using it as liner
for the garbage pail.
We work all night on a story
and when it's printed the guy
whodunit blames us and
threatens with libel suit or
maybe a punch in the nose.
They plague us for favorS
hound us for tickets but hea-
ven help us if we spell their name
wrong.
The world Is going to he'll on
horseback and We are riding
the hindmoSt. 1t is low tide
and We need it bad crying
towel.
And then it happens!
VeSuviuS erupts but we are
saved! The battered scribe finds his
torch was burning all the time
He was not the forgotten man. His
newspaper to the home ranks next
to the family bible. They want it
they'll fight to save it.
1t happened Thanksgiving morn
ing. 1t came with an explosion
but 1t brought good tidings.
A blast in the boiler room of the
News Herald building. An explo-
sion that tore at the boiler e.
Streaking its sides like vari-
coSe veins.
The first good omen came when
the fire burnt itself out in the boil
er room saving the rest of the
building from a hot death.
That was Thursday morning.
Next edition of the News-Herald
was due on the streets at 9 o'clock
Friday morning.
Il taks heat to make a Acton ro-
tary press function. Heat from that
boiler was out of the question.
Then they came from all direc-
tons. They came to help. Came to
DO their bit so the News
Herald could hit the street on time.

Your charm is as dated as a
doll-sized hat if you can't take
shortages, shoe stamps, A cards,
crowded conveyances and queue
standing in your stride.
Nor can you be charmer,
Judged by today's standards, if you
take" wartime inconvenience and
bemoan your lot.
If you have to do your own house
work because maids are scarce or
forego your summer vacation be-
cause transportation facilities are
serving a graver need, your lot is
no worse than thousands of other
women in this country. No Ameri-
can, beset by such inconvenience,
can possibly feel sorry for herself

NUREMBERG SIEGE OPENS
Far to the south, the American
Seventh Army laid siege to Nuern-
berg, northwestern outpost Of the
Bavarian redoubt, and drove a strong
infantry spearhead into the city
itself.
There the Americans were less
than 80 miles from Munich, birth
place of the Nazi party, $50 miles
from BerchteSgaden, and less than
so miles from the headwaters of the
Danube.
Unconfirmed and seemingly pre-
mature reports broadcast by radio
Paris said the flight into Bavaria
already had been halted by an AM
erican-Russian juncture in the Elbe
River valley between Pirna, II miles
southeast of Dresden, and the
Czechoslovak border city of Tirsch-
en-, 18 miles to the southeast.
The site of the reported juncture,
which headquarters spokesmen in
dicated actually had been chosen
for that meeting, was almost so
miles west of the last reported Red
Army positions and about 40 miles
east Of the American lines.
