than the mere fact of residence. When
someone speaks of his home and says,
"this is where I live," he is more prob
ably expressing the pride of knowing that
his house stands where only bare earth
stood before, that it is monument to his
thrift, to his independence and to all the
other things that give him self-respect in
his community.
And when, referring to that community,
those same words are spoken, they ex-
press each individuals honest belief that
the place in which he chooses to live has
an importance. far greater than the mere
value of it's buildings.
Folks who live in a community Large
or small, industrial city or agricultural
county seat-find honest pride in the
knowledge that the world is just little
bit better off because that particular place
exists.
In our own locality, for example, we
may find real satisfaction in knowing that
the produce of our farms is helping to feed
the entire nation and that the pulpwood
cut in nearby forests and farm woodlands
is an essential factor in bringing pros
perity to our country
Without the farm produce that comes
from here and from places like ours the
American people would be facing the same
problems of hunger and starvation that are
now confronting so much of the rest of
the world. And the top quality pulpwood
that comes from this and similar communi-
ties is providing the paper and paperboard
to package and ship that farm produce,
newsprint with which to advertise Amer
ica's new peacetime products, and thou
sands of other types of paper that are vital
to the present reconversion effort.
Is there any wonder then that our
chests expand little when we in this
community say: "This is where ! live"

An ordinance empowering the

of venereal disease infected per-

Let's Finish The Drive

The Red Cross Drive is underway; but
much more must be raised if we are to
reach our quota. We have never failed to
do this in times of war, SO let's put our
shoulders to the wheel and raise it now.
The work of the Red Cross is far from
over. There is much to be done in times
of war as well as peace. Show your ap-
probation for what the Red Cross has
done for the men in service by making
your gift generous one. You kept the
Red Cross at the side of the men who need
ed it most in times of war. There are
still many in hospitals and elsewhere who
still need it, don't let them down now.
Give and give generously.

More Mill More Health

One of the most significant changes in
American food habits in recent years is the
rapid increase in milk consumption. Ac-
cording to the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture the average consumption of milk
and cream per person in the United States
during the decade from 1880 to 1889 was
less than 325 pints per person. or less than
SO of pint per day for each individual.
By 1913 milk and cream consumption
reached 374 pints, the first time the Amer
lean people had ever consumed more than
a pint per day each. The next year this
consumption climbed to 1872 pints, or 1.O7
pints daily The latest Department of Ag-
riculture estimates are that milk and cream
consumption will reach another high in
1945 with All spints for the year per per-
son, or Ito pints per person daily.
Since milk and its products provided
Is per cent of all the calcium in the diet
of the people of the United States and
high percentages of many of the other nu-
trients even at the lower level of milk
intake, this change represents distinct
Improvement in the human diet, accord
ing to Mrs Ethel Austin Martin, Director
of Nutrition Service of the National Dairy
Council. A continuation of this trend will
be an important factor in developing
greatly improved health vigor and SIAM
ina on the part of the American people,
asserts Mrs. Martin.

a number of years ago. His life
speaks for itself to those who
knew him. The testimony Of a
son is that he gave good counsel
to them, advising them in the
right way and set good examples
for them, and that he was a true
and faithful father and husband.
He had been afflicted for IL
years but did not seem to suffer
in the last hours. He told his
friends that he was ready to go,
that there was nothing in his way,
and that he had a better home
waiting for him where he would
not have to suffer and worry.
It is better to rest than to suffer.
Precious in the sight of the Lord
is the death of his saints.

Sudden Death

Sudden death struck again and
viciouSly in the highway tragedy
near Durham ON Friday. in which
seven Negro men Ell route to Il saw
mill for days work were killed
so quickly they scarcely knew what
had happened TO them. And nearly
that many more were so badly in
jured that they face days and per-
haps weeks of suffering in the course
of recovery.
Indications are that this was no.
something that just had to happen,
or that would admit of classification
as unavoidable" Some one is re-
SponSiblc for this wholesale ''Slaugh-
ter on the highway" That. of course.
is water over the dam and neither
blame nor punishment would brinl:
back to life those who were killed
in the crash.
Accidents of this type serve "a
emphasize the continuing need for
caution and safety on the part OF
-.
especially where so many individuals
are involved But il seems that no
amount Of pleading is sufficient To
eliminate such tragedies. People
take chances. regardless. evidently
in the thought that it can't happen
to them.
As this is written. full details Of
the Durham accident are not
available. But the tragedy ought Ia
become Il lesson in the future To all
drivers. Safety and caution should
be the first consideration of those
riding in motor vehicles. II were
far better To lose a little time. ~
to be bit late. if necessary. than
TO risk an accident. This is one OF
the worst instances of sudden death
on the highway ever 10 occur in this
section. and the least that can be
said is that it ought 10 serve as a
warning TO every one else.

And So 1t Goes

Again OPA raises prices on
numerous commodities, incIuding
many electrical devices, and lays tho
blame on the law-the revised price
control law it is. The agency pro-
tests that it has no option in the
matter but has to comply with the
statute.
This being the case. there is not
much use for OPA anyhow. If prices
are to be fixed by law. the high
salaried workers in the Washington
office and elsewhere had as well DC
discharged and sent home as hay
ing nothing to do, except possibly
to serve as clearing house.
As was remarked in this depart
ment some days ago, the public is
beginning now to learn for the first
time just how near to nothing il got
in the new price control law. Maybe
advocates of repeal of the act really
had something after all. II seems
that is about what the country was
handed by a.jittery Congress, afraid
to move in either direction and nj
the same time fairly itching TO get
away from the capital and back in
the sticks to repair political fences.
The public is the victim. But so il
goes. The jolly did machine wobblcs
along in the interest of those who
hold office or would hold office For
all practical purposes, the public had
about as we'll forget there ever was
price control. and steel itself for
whatever brand Of reckless initiation
there may be in store. Certainly it
seems there is little to hope for in
the way Of further holding OF the
line by government mandate.

SeIf-Confidence Needed
To Overcome Stummerinq

1t is suggested that treatment OF
the stammerer be given at least
twice q week and it may DO helm.
full to treat several children in a
group rather than each child
alone. It may take several years
to bring about a cure and in mora
than one-half of the cases the con-
dition may recur.
Other Disturbances
OF course, there are speech dis.
turbances other than stammerine.
One of these is known as dyslalia.
In this condition the child is un.
able to properly pronounce tho
consonants, such as ], r, 5, and Z.
One form is lisping in which such
letters as as" and 81" are replaced
by the sound eth"
A lisp may be due merely to
negligence in teaching the child
to talk properly. 1t may be due to
some nervous disturbance and in
some cases to an abnormal condi-
ton of the jaw, tho roof of the
mouth or the teeth.
Another form of dyslalia In
called falling. In this disorder the
81" sound is substituted for "r."
This, too, is due to about the same
factors as lisping.
Rhinolalia refers to nasal
speech. This may be due to weak
ness in the muscles in the palate
or roof of the mouth, the blocking
of the nose by small tumors called
polyps or by enlarged adcnoids
Sometimes even following the re-
moval of the adenoids the nasal
speech may remain because Of
weakness of the palate muscles.
Special breathing exercises will
help correct this condition.
A child with speech difficulties
is handicapped and every effort
should be made to overcome them
promptly.
