A Living Memorial

The new William Allen White School
of Journalism and Public Information at
the University of Kansas is almost unique
as a memorial in that it seeks to preserve
and project the life and words of a great
man.
The White School is unique because its
aim will be to interpret his methods and
principles to future students in the school.
Coming generations of students will learn
how a master of English made his great gift
of expression serve to stamp his high civic
ideals and homely tolerant wisdom on the
nation and the world There, too they will
be trained in the new great media of pub
lie information, the radio and the motion
pictures.
The establishment of this school by his
Alma Mater should give great satisfaction
to every citizen of the country who is con-
cerned with the preservation of that which
is best in our national life. For William
Allen White preached and lived real
Americanism. His principles were anchor
ed to the best in our past while his open
mind courageously faced today's change
and tomorrow's tumult He once wrote
he was ready greedily to take whatever
comes, that he was mot afraid Of tomorrow
for have seen yesterday and live today"
It is most appropriate. that his native
state through its University will seek
through the White School to produce tru-
ly educated men and women in the whole
gamut of public affairs; equally impor-
family it will train men and women for po-
sitions of leadership in all fields which
deal with the dissemination of informa-
ton. At the same time it will inevitably
help raise the standards of the press, the
radio and the motion pictures.
Such service would be truly remark
able one This is highly fitting for it's
inspiration comes from the life of truly
remarkable man: the editor of small
country town newspaper, the circulation
of which never exceeded 5000, who be-
cause of his character brilliance and auda-
city became distinguished leader in ma
tional, even international, thinking.
The new school which bears William
Allen Whites name is big with plan and po-
tentialities which befit the name it so
proudly bears

LOCAL DEALER SEES
THE NEW CHEVROLET

c. M. Payne, local Chevrolet
dealer, has returned from Char
lotte, where he attended a pre-
view of the new 1916 Chevrolet at
the company's zone headquarters.
He was reluctant to discuss the
mechanical and style features of
the new car, but by his eager at
titude it was apparent that he
expected the formal announce
ment and public showing of the
car to be at an early date.
Mr.. Payne said he and other
dealers in the area were conf
dent that the 1916 Chevrolet will
maintain the record of top vol
ume sales, which Chevrolet reach
ed in 10 of the last II. prewar
years of automobile production, to
meet the unprecedented pent-up
demand for new cars.
Following the same policy as in
former years, the new Chevrolet
will be displayed simultaneously
in dealers showrooms through
out the country, MIR. Payne said.
Radio and local newspaper an
nouncements will be made, tel
ling when prospective customers
may see the new car for the first
time. These announcements are
expected to be good news to mo-
florists and to dealers alike.

Parking Regulations

In considering the ways and means OF
improving our town, one we have thought
of for some time is the improvement of
traffic conditions through better parking.
We are not alone in this. Many people
have been discussing ways and means to
change this.
We believe if the streets were marked
off for parking and with the public COM
plying, this would not only eliminate much
congestion, but would be much more salts
factory to the public as we'll as the business
houses. Let's work out some definite sys-
tenn and let the public know what the regu-
lations are For safety, as well as conven-
fence, regular parking regulations would
be much more satisfactory than the lack
of system now prevailing.

The United War Drive is now underway;
but we are still far short of our quota.
Many people have given generously, while
others have given sparingly and still others
none at all.
We must finish the job. The county's
quota of $5OOO0O is not large when we
consider the many organizations we are
helping through this In addition to the
USO, which means so much to the many
men still in service, remember there are
thousands of people of our allied nations
that will starve or freeze if they are not
fed and clothed through the United War
Fund this winter. Let's consider this as
well as our own Boy Scouts and give gen
erously. Send in your contribution today.

or whatever.
But the truth should be made known
that established manufacturers, both large
and small, who produced such miracul-
Gus quantity of war materials to arm and
equip our troops, actually made much less
money than in peacetime which was as
they wanted it.
General Motors, for instance voluntari-
ly limited its profits and averaged only At
cents per sales dollar-half the amount it
earned in 1941-although its sales and en-
ployment doubled Total earnings of U. S..
Steel in the war years amounted to 48 per
cent on investment. Net earnings of Sun
Oil were ITS, 285 and 2.20 cents on the
sales dollar in three war years, as against
$50 cents per dollar in 1911.
So it went all down the line . And as
to individuals of our highest-paid in
dustrialists got net Of $4,000 year salary
after taxes It is needful that these facts
come out in official reports in view of some
labor dictators' unrealistic demands.
