a huge army under arms and Is

building thousands of war planes
she IL still geared for war and
apparently intends to remain
ready TO take on anything or any

time arrives. Our military and our

A LONG TIME AGO

Barnum said "one is born every
minute" and II seems TO be just as
true today as then. OF course We
said, "Tain't US" but now we know
that we are just like the rest. A
fellow wrote Us a letter saying he
wanted a job and outlined his ex-
perience Saying nothing about
writing bad checksl. We hired
him By mail. He showed up Satur-
day. got US TO endorse his check
for SIS and rented a house saying
he would show up Monday for
work. lie didn't show up and the
check is now in process of bounc-
ing according 10 a telegram re-
ceived from his Texas bank. SO If
anyone else we don't know pretty
well comes In and wants a check
endorsed they'd better have a CO.
signsr handy because this the last
one we are going 10 endorse.

NASTY READING NOW


seems TO be the major reason for
many OF the current best sellers
Few are shocked by movies. radio,
literature. bawdy language. i'm
modest dress. Perhaps we have
undergone years of the hardening
process. Generally the stencil is
not pleasant. However, our prin-
cipal objection is 10 this effect up
on the young. IL one protests he
is called a reformer or "purist"
and his counsel frequently ignored.
Obviously many seek certain filth
as evidenced by the popularity OF
many recent books. These find a
vast sale and though vulgar and
cynical the demand for them is
great. Too many young people are
reading them. too many critics ap-
plaud them. What has happened
to our so-called American culture? !?

RUSSIA. OBVIOUSLY

RUSSIA, OBVIOUSLY
wants communist world and
nothing but steel will stop her ac-
quiring her desires and since no
country but ours has the steel IL
appears that the future holds
nothing but another war. The
shooting down OF American planes
over Jugoslavia is seen as only a
test to find out how many
teeth the United States would
bare. Russia wants to dominate
the Dardanelles. the straits bOr-
dering Turkey and leading from
the Mediterranean sea into the
Black sea. With that domination
she gets ALL OF the oil so neces-
sary for fleets OF the United
States and Great Britain.

Shoe Output CurtoiIment
 Threatened

Boston, Aug. 7- CUP) - The jobs of nearly 100000 New England . shoe workers were threatened today by the lack of leather and hides.
 Some factories already had closed and others expected to shut down by the end of the week, because no hides had been received since the reinstatement of OPA ceilings.
 ReconVersion Director John R. Steelman began an investigation in Washington amid charges that there was conspiracy to withhold hides until higher prices ceilings are granted
 Steelman said that the sales of hides throughout the country virtu- ally had ceased though cattle slaughter continued at high records. He said the selfish interests of a relatively few people" were respon- sible for the threat of curtailment in the shoe industry and that he had no sympathy for ''hoarder who seek to eXtort excessive profits from the public by withholding produc- tion'
 The United States Employment Service reported that the leather industry in Massachusetts was op- erating on a day o-day" basis and that 75,000 Massachusetts workers may be out of jobs unless supplies of leather are forthcoming imme- diately.
 Shoe factories in Brockton, en- ploying 11,oO0, were expected to start closing tomorrow and it was estimated that within week 30 of them would be shut down. Eleven plants in Manchester and Nashua, N. H., closed yesterday and today, iding 4,000 workers.
 Production already has been cur tailed in the Peabody Salem area which is a tanning center and Lynn manufacturers met with Congress men in an effort to obtain help.
 Most shoe manufacturers in Hav- erhill have enough supplies for a week, but some will be forced to stop work within three days unless more hides are received,
