Senator Ecton
Writes About Border
Petrol Difficulty
~ Charles b. Rowe

a great amount of discussion has
been caused by that order coming
out from Washington to discharge
most if not all of the customs patrol
men along the u. S.-Canadian Dor
der. Newspapers report that thous-
ands of kilograms and letters have
been received by congressman OBJ
jecting to the reducing OF the border
patrol and thereby, as il is feared
throwing the border open to SNUG
Cling.
This matter is o. real interest to
Lincoln county people, since a num-
ber of customs patrOlmen have been
stationed at Eureka for many years
Regardless of what is the final
outcome of this attempted move
for economy by the congress, it is
interesting to read what a Montana
senator has to say regarding the
proposal. In letter to tire writer

riation) according to the House
Committee was made in part al
least for the following reasons: the
Committee is informed that both
the immigration border patrol and
the customs border patrol operate
along the Canadian and Mexican
borders, and yet there is no cor
relation or cooperation in their ac-
tlvity.'"
"The Committee apparently felt
that by coordination instead of dup
LEGATION between the two federsI
departments involved, the number of
patrolmen employed by each depart
ment could be reduced with no inn
pairment of service"
Senator Ecton said further.
Due to the tremendous expense
Of the war, together with many
other federal activities instituted BY
the Administration during the past
years, there is now a determined
effort on the part of the Republican
members of the Congress as we'll as

auctions wherever possible in Older

Many reports are to the elfec
that there are increasing signs Of
a dip in prices And the long -suf
fering public will welcome this news
IF it proves true.
The United States News, of Wash
ington, D. c., said in its April
issue:
More cautious buying by CON
sumers is widely reported. Spending
IS not as free and easy as it was
Night clubs are reporting this trend
in almost every city. and liquor
sales are declining. When pork
prices shot up recently, housewives
backed away so rapidly that prices
came down in the face of scant
supplies
The expected Easter buying
spree failed to develop Women who
last year bought an entire spring
outfit were content this year with
a single garment or coat Sales
were disappointing for hats. shoes,
purses, costume jewelry and expen-
sive cosmetics
The article goes on to say that
mems shirts are remaining on deal
ers' shelves at marked-up prices.
Mems suits are becoming more
plentiful Furniture sales are run
ming into buyer resistance. Re-
tailers are buying more cautiously
and in smaller amounts because of a
possible price drop.
Someone in Spokane recently took
a poll among that city's high school
students. They we're asked num-
Der of questions One conclusion
was that the young people felt they
would be able to do a better job
of running the world than their
parents had
That was not a surprising con-
clusion. High school students gener-
ally are of that opinion. In fact,
it's extremely difficult for parents
to give aforesaid students any advice
whatsoever. Because in the eyes of
so many, many high school young
sters, parents are just too hopelessly
fashioned, and know so little.
All of which is, in a way, amusing.

thinkers who were preaching in
press and from platform that youth
was going to save the world. And
it's pertinent to ask whether or not
the youth of that time haven't made
a pretty sorry mess of most every
thing today.
Never in the history of the ma
ton has there been so much crime.
Never has there been such a juv-
emile delinquency problem, and the
juveniles of today are the children
of the youths of the World War
period. Never have we had so many
divorces as at the present time.
Drunkenness among women is on
the increase and is the highest in
the nations history. And similar
conditions are found all along the
line.
All Of which doesn't mean that
we are necessarily going TO perdi-
tation, although some may think
with reason that we have made
very good start in that direction
AS a matter Of fact. every genera
ton has its problems TO meet And
every generation makes its mistakes |
It's utter claptrap to talk about one
generation making such terrible |
mistakes and that the on-coming
generation is going TO be so wise
that no such errors will be made. |
