day to day in vitamin and mineral values. And,
besides, they lose lot of their vitamins in ship

Keep your heart free from

Your mind from worry, live

Fill your life with love:

Think Of others and do as
you would be done by.
This is the time of year when
we look back on the past years
doings. browning at some, and
laughing at others. Determined
that next year will be different.
The above poem held my fancy
when l came across it while look
ing for a poem for this week. |
think the whole saying would be
good as a New Years resolution.
Don't you? The old year has al
most rolled around. Think of your
resolution soon.
Friday night at the Pilgrim
church the Young Peoples Usher
Board presented a three act COM
edy play called THE Bargain
Rack" Shapely Mary Brown played
the role Of Cert who was all out
for getting Glen bradford Ben
ner) a country lad with high ideals,
to propose to her. The scene where
Mary was tantalizing Brad with
her charms was hilarious and well
acted. Leatrice Shelton played the
part Of a wealthy daughter to the
1t" while her mother, Laura Mae
Robins, was the perfected sophisti-
Gated, fabulously rich matron. Jean
Price was undoubtedly the best
actress. Her scenes were played
with perfect ease - they were
enough to have you rolling in the
aisles with laughter. Annabelle
Jones, an average teen-age foun-
tain girl. Kenneth Jones, a bug
exterminator, not only kills all the
bugs but gets a date with his
dream gal, Jean. Merle Young was
the usual bored father and husband
of too extravagant family and
wife. Helen Smith, the maid and
William Knott, a street urchin and
Addie Marie Young, Gertie's girl
friend and roommate combined
their acting abilities and there you
have the most hilarious and best
acted play Of the year.
Sunday night at T. I. glimpsed
Pauline Ray, wearing a very chic
black satin Chinese buttoned neck
front suit; Virgella Harper look
ing demure; Leona Mason and Ben
Stone; Harold Brown and Mary

James Cook LaRahn Latimore and
Booker Ellis, who showed me the
beautiful prize to be presented to
the winning orchestras in the Poll
dance.
This is the first time a dance
was ever given in this order. This
is what everyone has been looking
for-it's different-it should be ex.
citing and fun watching how this
poll turns out. This dance is bounC
to be a success because of the un,
usual way it is being presented
The main businessmen and sponsor:
of their poll dance are Harold

The Northwest enterprise. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1931-1952, 1947-07-02
BY RUTH TAYLOR
WHAT MAKES
AMERICA GREAT?

1t is not the vastness of the
country. nor the fruitfulness OF
its acres. 1t is not the hidden
wealth of its natural resources.
nor the size and variety Of its
manufacturing plants. 1t is not its
deep harbors, nor its navigable
rivers, nor the great arteries of
Its highways.
What makes America great is
its latent power to turn all of
those into production for the good
of all the people from coast to
coast.
The greatness of America de-
ponds upon you and me: upon
each and EVERY one of us.
whether we live on lonely farm
or in the crowded city. whether
we live on tree shaded street
in a quiet town, or under the
shadow of the great sky scrapers
of a bustling metropolis.
AS Lyman Abbot once wrote:
"a nation is made great, not
by It's fruitful acres. but by
the men who cultivate them; not
by its mines, but by the men
who work in them; not by its
railways. but by the men who
build and run them. America was
great land when Columbus dis
covered it; Americans have made
of 1t a great nation"
A country is not greater than
its citizens. We are United
States of America because the
men of this country decided to
put aside sectional and religious
difference to work together for the
good of the country as a whole.
If we want to change our nation,
we have the power to do so,
