Arch Oboler is not, We hear,

why should he be? Next to Norman
Corwin he is top radio script writer,
and now he has been taken into
the golden fold of M-G-M. In fact,
he takes success SO seriously that
he speaks of himself in the third
person. "Oboler likes this" he'll tell
you. Or, "Oboler says that that
stinks." Not long ago when he
was directing a picture and things
weren't going SO well. this little
habit of his got to be the final
straw that drove the producer
crazy. Leaning heavily against a
door jamb, Arch looked down his
nose and said pontifically. Il don't

What's The Use?

The world is going to hell on horseback.
Allies who fought back to back in the late
Cataclysmic struggles are now pickering
face to face.
Britain threatens to get peeviSh with us
because we are reluctant to support her for
the rest of her life in the style to which
she is accustomed.
We are already talking and thinking about
the next world war.
When it comes, atomic bombs of power
yet undreamed of will make short work
of all civilization.
Strikes loom on every front. Recover
sion to peacetime products and pursuits is
stalled
We have premiums for idleness and pen
alties for ambitions.
Quality declines, prices mount the dollar
shrinks.
Contracts great and small are dishonored
and promises believed only by little chill
dren.
There's no longer a pot of gold at the
end of the rainbow, for there's no longer
a rainbow.
It's all sorry world, in dismal plight!
What's the use?
To YOU who ask this question there is but
one answer-none at all! There isn't any
use, because you have ceased to be useful,
to yourself or to the rest of the world. You
might as we'll quit and have it over with.
Indeed you already have.
For every man must quit with his heart
before he quits with his hands.
What's the use? Why, if you're man who
believes in himself and his purposes, there's
more use today than ever in the history OF
Al. IL no cho1 lonO IC
greater than it has ever been before.
You and / are not accountable to or for
the rest of the world so much as we are &C
countable each to his own self. Much as we
may cherish it, we are not in need OF the
respect of the rest of the world so much
as we are in need of respect for ourselves.
If we fail to keep faith with ourselves, we
cannot keep faith with others.
What's the use? Why, for that matter
when was there ever any use, even when
the world seemed most placid and the sun
rise the most roSeate? When have you or
! ever held mortgage on the daybreak Of
tomorrow?
There are those who work only as they
are driven by forces outside of themselves
Others who are driven by impulses from
within. They and they only are the molderS
of destiny.
Yes, this is IndividualiSm, if you please.
We are Individualsts and are proud of it.
We work only for Individualists, as they are
the only ones who will have us.
We believe in our work. And because
we believe in it, we love it.
We work today at the tasks of today
toward goal we know we will never reach,
but it is not the goal, but the working toward
the goal that matters.
What's the use? Who can ask for greater
use than comes with the soul satisfaction
of work we'll done-or if not well done, at
least done the best we can?
Only the weak in spirit can ever ask them
selves the question, What's the use?
