Twice Told Tales
Hears Story by
Mrs. w. Burke, Jr.

"Chamlin," by Morgan Burke, was
told by Mrs. William Bulke Jr. Of
Holtville for members of Twice Told
Tales section of the Ten Thousand
Club at the home CT Mrs. Robert w.
Ware Monday afternoon.
The close friendship of a father
and his son starts when the father
comes home from the Orient to care
for his young son. The boys mother
had died when he was a baby, max
ing the bond even stronger between
the two.
Mrs. Burke described how the
boy, after hearing>his. fathers tales
of the Orient, and especially of a
man named "Ckamlin," grows up
and goes to many of the places he
has heard described. There he
learns "Chamlin" is his father, who
gave up a happy home with his ma
tive wife and daughter to return
home to his growing son. The boy
returns to the United States to urge
his father to go back to the life he
forsook
The description CT the close
friendship of the boy and father,
who realize that each person is an
individual and must live his own
life, was well dcne by Mrs. Burke.
After the program, refreshments
were served by Mrs. Ware at a table
decorated with blue iris, yellow jon
quiis and yellow candles. Ms. Burke
poured.

Still The Best System

The production of 100-octane aviation
gasoline by American refineries, has been
one of the wonders of World War II. It was
dlScouraging to our enemies 1t shows that
brains and Initiative are more important in
winning wars, than dictatorS 1t shows what
American industry can do when called upon
IN an emergency. 1t not only had to build
the plants to produce this highest gaso-
line but it had to perfect the processes bv
which it could be produced in quantity. 1t
was ready to go, however, without en-
tangling delays.
American oil companies set record that
no government-dominated industry could
meet 1t is accomplishments like this that
should cause the American people to be
proud OF their free enterprise system Like
all human activity, it may not be perfect,
and there is room for constant Improvement.
but so far no other system of industrial pro-
auction has been able to hold candle to it.
Furthermore, as in the case of oil, it is
elastic and ready to meet emergencies, in
stead of being bound by red tape and in
efficiency which are unavoidable under
politically controlled industries where ex-
pediency, from the standpoint of maintain
ing party power, is too often more important
than efficiency.

u eW Of he
Book w OrId

Novelist James Ramsey Ullman
confeSSeS that he would not make
a good window cleaner. He is afraid
of high places. In spite of which,
he has climbed, with pick and rope,
some of the most famous and for
midable mountains in the world,
and incidentally, written three
books and many short stories about
mountain climbing. His latest
novel, The White Tower" is the
Book f-the- Month Club selection
for September.
The White Tower of the title is
terrifying immensely of rock and
ice, in the Swiss Alps, whose peak
has challenged and has never been
reached by the most experienced
climbers in the world. Five men
and girl, brought together by
chance, determine to conquer it,
and Mr.. Ullman'S extraordinarily
exciting novel is their story.
Each Of them has a personal and
characteristic reason for wishing
to make this climb. For Martin
Ordway, young American bomber
pilot who had been forced to bail
out over Switzerland, it is a test
of himself, OF his belief in COM
radeship and courage. For Andreas
Benner, the Swiss guide. it is a test
of his professional capacity-and
also it is the mountain which his
father died trying to ascend. The
English geologist, Dr. Nicholas
Radcliffe, thinks of the climb as a
restoration of his youth. and for
Paul Delambre, the mountain is a
serene, pure challenge to the sick
ness in his nihilist soul. To the
German officer, Siegried Helm, the
ascent is an example OF the Ger
man will, merely another form of
war and a proof that he is supe-
rior, stronger than the others And
finally for the girl, Carla Dehn,
VienneSe, who has fled from her
Nazi husband to the little Swiss
village, the mountain is kind of
escape from the hateful memory
of Nazi Germany.
There is romance in this novel.
but the real story lies in the climb
and the manner in which these six
people are compelled by the emery
ing face of death to show the shape
and color of their souls.

Why Feed Europe?

"Why should we feed Europe?" DR.. Frank
Kingdom asked in a recent radio broadcast.
One act of the Norwegian underground
alone, DR.. Kingdom said, is worth all the
food and supplies the United States can
ship overseas for years.
The Norwegian underground saved us
and civilization, he said, when they wrecked
the heavy water plant IN which the Ger
mans were perfecting the atomic bomb.
President Truman, in recent report in
which he urged support of the Community
War Chest Victory campaign, gave another
reason for feeding Europe, China and the
Philippines.
desperate men," he said, "are liable to
destroy the structure of their society to find
IN the wreckage some substitute for hope.
Europe today is hungry Many of the people
lack clothes and fuel and tools and shelter
and raw materials. They lack the means to
restore their cities and their factories AS
the winter comes on, the distress will in
crease Unless we do what we can to help,
we may lose next winter what we won at
such terrible cost last spring If we let
Europe 60 cold and hungry, we may lose
some of the foundation of order on which
the hope for world peace must rest.
I'VE must help to the limit of our
strength" President Truman said
During the Community War Chest Vic
tory campaign, Oct. 8-3l, every one will be
asked to heed the Presidents words Con-
tributionS to this drive help to furnish vital
food, clothing, medical supplies, vitamins
and other miscellaneous items for the peo-
pie of Europe, China and the Philippines
who are today suffering from the devasta-
ton, disease, despair and need created by
war.
Funds contributed to the War Chest drive
also help to provide USO services for the
millions of men still in uniform General
Eisenhower has requested the USO to quad
ripple its operation in Europe. Occupation
forces not engaged in warfare are bound to
present greater problems of morale than
ever. USO operations in the Pacific and
on the hospital circuit in this country has
increased substantially within the past
months.
Even though Metropolitan Detroit has
never suffered from the devastation of war,
this war has left this area with problems,
too. They are not as serious as the prob
lens abroad, but they are not to be over
looked. ReconverSion has also brought about
more social problems. Community War
Chest agencies help to solve all of these
problems whether they be care for the sick,
the aged, or dependent children, whether
they be recreational, housekeeping, or legal
problems Some of these agencies are located
In the downriver area. The others, located
IN Detroit, service the Metropolitan Detroit
area, including downriver.

About All Of Us

All of us want the security and peace of
mind that come from earning little more
than we need so that we can provide for
our loved ones, save for a rainy day and
plan for retirement when our work DAYS
are done.
All of us want the sort of fair shake we
can get from our own talents, our own
capacities that there is no mon
opoly anywhere in our economy except
those regulated by government in the pub
lie interest
The reason we all want the same things
lies within the makeup of our free demo
cratic system. All of us are workers, con-
sumers and employers every day; all these
different people at different times.
1t takes al! of us to keep the system run
ming well. When any part of our economic
system stops or takes a nose-dive-regard-
less of reason-all of us take it on the chin.

Copy the Failures?

Congress will shortly be considering
multiple authority issue la IVA. It is
something that seems far away from the
average citizen, and yet authority plans
which would blanket the United States, af-
feet not only majority of the states and
the rights of the states to their rivers and
farm lands, but the use of electricity by all
the residents and industries of such states.
The authorities" would be above and be-
yond state control, state tax laws and state
regulation as they apply to all private citi-
zens, and would break down local indepen-
dence and property rights in many ways
The authority" question is a straight
political issue which would substitute ma
tlonal socialism for private enterprise in the
development of electric power and other
basic industries. An European dictator had
no more autocratic control over many civ
llian rights than would the proposed power
authorities" which would not only displace
much private enterprise, but would make
1t impossible for private citizens to enter
into many lines of business, in competition
with tax-exempt government monopolies
The encroaching controls of central gov
eminent through electric power "authori-
ties" would make effective a planned econ
omy program to experiment in national
socialism. Why anyone should promote such
a scheme in the United States, when we
have spent our youth and our wealth in
checking the evils resulting from that very
type of government in World War II, is
hard to understand. If our nation were with
out electric power, and if for years its peo-
pie had not enjoyed more of the advantages
to be derived from electricity, developed by
private enterprise, than the peoples of other
nations enjoyed from central government
ownership of such projects there might be
some reason for us to consider adopting
national socialism. But with the record the
exact opposite, why should we pattern after
the failures?
State socialism and true Americanism do
not mix.

Don't Throw
Away The Key

The termination of the war did not bring
a cIeancut victory to the United Nations.
The avoWed objective of freedom from poll
teal oppression for which the war was
fought, IS less IN evidence today than at any
previous time, no excluding the era of Hit
Ter. The United States now stands alone as
the champion of individual enterprise and
the exponent of government as the servant
rather than the master of the people. Over
most of the world peoples numbed by suf-
fering, seem anxious to become charges of
maSterful governments.
Inc United States remains the one great
nation with production and distribution
under the ownership and management of
private citizens. Thanks to this system, our
farmers and factories, our retailers and
workers = tens of millions of them can
make living independent of government.
AS long as they can do that they need never
tear political oppression. The privilege of
earning living unsupported by govern
ment handouts and resultant political 'per-
Suaslon," is the key to freedom The people
OF Europe have thrown away this key. Even
IN England and France, the KEY is being
turned over to government
Let's not throw away the key TO freedom
in our own country Private enterprise,
which socialism destroys, may have its
drawbacks. But its shortcomings can al
ways be corrected. Private enterprise is
the source of independent jobs-for en-
ployer and employee alike AS long as private
enterprise exists, government payrolls can
be kept to healthy minimum. and we can
tell ottIclaliSm to go to blazes, without fear
OF the consequences.

There is story told about mule that
belonged to an old Italian fruit peddler. His
mule was a contrary animal and for no
good reason would balk, or back at the most
inopportune tipeS.
One day after loading his wagon with
fruit at the dock, he gave the mule the go
signal, but with no results. In spite of all
his pleadings and pushing and pulling, the
stubborn animal would not bulge. Finally
it started to back, and he could not stop it.
AS the wagon approached the edge of the
dock, the old man chung to the reins to pre-
vent impending catastrophe, but to no avail.
The mule backed into the bay.
The old fruit vender watched the sad
ending. Then, wiping tear from his eye,
he muttered, Il hope you got your - -

the solid ground of freedom from political
