Are Your Children Safe?

Fatal accidents in the home, to American children of
preschool have increased 40 R since the began
according to life insurance StatSticlans.
While have been lamentng the fate of children
in war-torn Europe, evidently haven't been giving
enough attention to the fate of children in and
There to be little do tor the moment about
the children in foreign cities but there is good
for this increased mortality here.
The obvious. Mothers busy with jobs or
work, taking too many chances with their child
They leaving them under the care of neghbors
who already over-busy caring for their children
leaving them with older brothers and sisters who
do not have proper sense of responsibility
Half of the home accident caused by burns and
scads-a lot of them due to children's natural
ing to play with matches. Others caused by
swallowing posons and by falls.
The increase goes to prove that it isn't safe to leave
small child alone without proper supervision Although
need in work, it isn't safe for mother
of youngster to be away from home unless she pro-
vide really adequate for her children.

the chances you will several with flats.
This summer it is going to be much
There only two ways skim by this summer,

possible of tires and drive little possible The
other is production of tires needed for army

Today and Tomorrow
BY Don Robertson

ISMS' government
Our government, during the last
few years, seems to have borrowed
from practically all of the philoso-
phies of government there are. Al
the present moment, partly because
of the war, it is mixture of social
ism, communism, dictatorship, cap
italism and what might be describ
ed as Americanism.
What it's going to be after the
war is up to you and me and the
boys who have been fighting this
war. But | am very much afraid
that we will end up with some
ism" which is a far cry from
Americanism unless we take a
much more active interest in
preserving the things which our
country has stood for in the past.
The trouble is that unless
new theories of government are
labeled as "communistic" or
"socialistic" a lot of us don't
recognize them and don't as
sociate them with these for
eign philosophers. In fact, ma
ny of us are becoming very
fond of some of the proposals
which appear to guarantee us
new security or better living
conditions, but which ane def
initeIy in the ism" class.
Socialized medicine, fore exam
pie if put to a vote, might right
now win the support of the majority
of people. 1t could be sold to us
as way of avoiding high medical
expenses. Yet, if we analyzed
thoroughly enough, we might agree
that it would deal a deathblow to
medical progress in our country.
SOCIALISM danger
Just to keep the record straight,
l want to repeat Webster's defini
ton of socialism.
Socialism: "a political and eco
nomic theory of social reorganiza
ton, the essential feature of which
is government control of economic
activities, to the end that competi-
ton shall give way to cooperation
and that the opportunities of life
and the rewards of labor shall be
eouitahly aDDOrtiOned -
Look that over carefully, and
then consider how far in that direc-
ton we have gone Government
control of economics activities" is
the order of the day during war

time-and, as everybody knows,
has been the trend for years before
the war. AS for the purpose-that
may not have been actually stated
as that of ending competition, but
we have heard a lot. about more
equitably distributing the opportun-
tiles of life"
Of course the war is used today
as a necessary reason for the gov
ernment having to control eco
nomic activities. But there is one
big danger in this excuse which
we must guard against when the
war is over-namely, the probable
ity that every socialistic minded
person will pose this question: If
socialistic practices are able to
break production records, to end
unemployment, to increase wages
and to win a war-why shouldn't
we continue to use them to break
production records, prevent unem-
ployment and raise the standard
of living in peacetime?
And when the socialistics are try
