This is the modern psychiatric
meaning of the term personality"
Your personality has been in the
making since your life began and
will continue as long as life lasts.
You have been influenced by par
ents, family, teachers, your sur

Circumstances too, happy and 9TH
erwise, have played their part in
molding your life.
The well-integrated personality
grows through every type of ex-
perience. No one can buy personal

the very essence of life.
1t is through personality that an
individual impreSseS others.

Poem of the Week
JIM CROW

JIM CROW
In the Eastern Cities,
The Negroes get so much of the
best,
There is no Jimcrow sign,
Neither in the West.
The East and West regard us
AS American Citizens,
But the South regard us, seemingly,
AS animals broken from denS.
Misconduct is committed in every
race,
A fact we all know,
But the Negro is the only
One, to get Jim Crow.
Is it fair for the South to continue
To say Jim Crow is our fate,
When we pay the same in taxes,
Also in travelling rates?
The Constitution gives us
Our freedom as all other men,
It does away with unfairness, Jim
Crow, and lynching,
Why isn't the law enforced then?
It's right to help our negihbors,
But charity begins at home,
How can we see the mote in our
brothers eye,
When the beam is so big in our
own?
God is no respecter of persons,
Gods peace is the only peace that
will stand,
And the love of God is based on,
Love for our fellowman.
We are all Americans,

CASES
Rambling Thoughts BY The
Philosopher

We do not have to travel all the
time. There are spots where the
camels can rest and ease their bur-
dens, and where you may drink re-
freshing draughts at the bubbling
springs.
In the first place, there is sleep.
This usually comes to all of us once
in twenty-four hours. If we are
fortunate enough to be good sleep
ers we can lay down our burdens,
no matter how serious they are,
and enjoy several hours of vaca-
ton, even though the burdens stand
ready by the side of our bed to leap
upon us the next morning.
Places of entertainment and
shows are cases. Their principal
value to us is that while we are
enjoying them we forget ourselves.
The value of entertainment de-
pends upon it's absorbing power, it's
ability to take JUS away from our
selves.
To be sure, the old man of the
sea that ages us stands ready at
the door to leap upon our backs as
we come out, but for while we
have had SurceaSe.
A friend is an oasis. Goethe says,
This world is so waste and empty
when we figure but towns and hills
and rivers in it, but to know that
someone is living on with us in 81
lence, this makes our earthly ball
a peopled garden"
How a friend rests you! To know
that someone is for you no matter
what happens, to know that some
one loves you and believes in YOU
that is decidedly and easement to
our burdens.
Faith is an oasis. To believe in
yourself, in your star or destiny,
somehow eases the load you have
to carry. To believe in other peo-
pie is a rest and above all to be-
ieve in the supreme goodness, that
there is an all Father who will car
ry all our burdens for us if we
know how to cast our burden upon
Him. This makes life bearable.
It is not SO arranged that we
must carry our load continually.
Nothing is continual. Life is rhyth-
mic. There are nights and Sundays
and other vacation times when we
lay our harness by and rest the
chafed places.
Thank heaven for the cases of
life!

Wage Rafe Up II
Percent From 1916

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The
second round of postwar wage in
creases had, on September IS, 1947,
raised wage rates in manufacture
ing industry by about II percent
above the October 1916 level.
These estimates were released by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.
S. Department of Labor.
This amount, applied to the 18
percent average increase resulting
from first-round wage adjustments,
brought total post war advances in
manufacturing wage rates to an
estimated 81 percent.
Average weekly earnings in Sep
tember were only 81 percent above

PERSONALITY IN
THE. MAKING"
BY Hazel PaytOn

Personality is as complex as life
itself. It is the result of all the in
fluences which have been exerted
upon an individual and his respon-
Ses to them. DR.. Karl Menninger
says: "of almost everything from
the attributes of the soul to those
of a new talcum powder. AS I shall
use it, it means the individual as a
whole, his height and weight and
loves and hates, his smiles and
hopes. 1t means all that anyone is

@. If q disabled veteran enlists
In the National Guard or Naval
Reserve does he lose his right to
draw disability compensation?
A. The National Guard and
Naval Reserve are considered &C.
tive service and the disabled vet.
eran may not draw compensation
while he is receiving service pay.
He may re-apply for disability pay
ments on leaving the service Ap.
proved awards will be payable
from the date of the second appli.
cation. but will not include retro.
active payments covering the Pc
riod the veteran was in service. It
should also be pointed out that
World War II veterans who re-
nounce disability payments for any
reason do not lose their rights to
other benefits provided by law for
them or their dependents.

IL Happened There
(New York World


 When it decided early in 1948, to introduce into the United States the system of democracy pre- vailing in certain countries in Eastern Europe the Federal Government acted with speed and decision It clear that the majority in Congress, and DOS siby the majority among the electorate had been conspring to defeat the will of the people Quite few Senators and Representatives had been in foreign countries during the summer and fall of 1947, and is was believed they had given information to per sons there including some public officials. There was hardly any doubt for instance that crop reports had been smuggled out of the United States The Government felt that it had mandate to protect the people from themselves.
 A few of the men sought managed to escape Representative John Taber peasant leader of Northern New York, made his way across Lake Ontario to Canada in a small boat. Senator Robert A. Taft of Cincinnati crossed the Ohio River the ice and made his way by underground route to we'll organized safety in Mexico. Senate Majority Leader Wallace H. White Jr. of Maine reached Canada ap- parently through the connvance of dsoyal elements among the Maine fishermen.
 Those who were captured and brought to trial included however, some prominent figures, such as Gov Thomas E. Dewey of New York Speaker Joseph w Martin of the House; Senator Kenneth Winery Nebraska peasant organizer Senator Styles Bridges of New Hampshire, chairman of the Appropriations Committee House Majority Leader Charles A Halleck who was charged with resisting the farm collectiva- ton drive in Indiana; and Chairman Carroll Reece of the Republican National Committee The trials conducted along the lines which had proved suc- cessful in Eastern Europe and the accused men allowed present any evidence they pleased long as it did not tend to prove them innocent. Because of some still lingering traces of bourgeois senti mentalsm death sentences inflicted. It was thought that few years in the Alaskan mines would serve them we'll since most of the accused well along in years. Following the 1948 purge democracy on the Eastern European plan prevailed throughout the United States; the overwhelming majority of the people did not like it. but the wiser minority backed by militant foreign power, held that it was good for them
 Put into American terms, these imaginary events are fantastic to the verge of lunacv They will not happen here. Still they did happen, and hap pening, with changed names, in Eastern Europe.

should continue to negate those principles Whatever the real needs of these nations for an augmented
 labor force the plain fact is that the practice they following not essentially different from Hitlers Nor is the argument that prisoners cannot be re- patriated at faster rate because of conditions in Germany convincing one. The plan for European recovery demonstrates concusvey the close inter- relation between German economic recovery and the welfare of the remainder of Europe German industry Britain themselves need until its manpower is returned.
 In his book Speaking Frankly, former Secretary of State Byrnes tells of of his tribuations in attempting to speed up the of war prisoners including an unabashed admission by the French that repatriation could not be increased because of their own labor shortage As the matter now stands Britain has agreed to return all it's prisoners by October l948 As of March l of this year the French held approximately 450.000 German prisoners incud- ing a number captured by American forces, which they have been returning at a rate of 10000 month An agreement of the Council of Foreign Ministers, to which Russia a party, provides that all German or ,oners shall be repatrated by December 3l 1948
 For it's part the United States has clean hands Aside from war criminals awaiting trial, the last German and Japanese prisoners in this country were returned in 1946. But while the United States has it's own obligation. it cannot remain ob- livious to the continuing blot the conscience of humanity We believe the State Department should every effort to hasten the return of remaining war prisoners to their homes.

 The battle against tuberculosis in Alaska must be a struggle against overwhelming odds mainly brought about bv neglect the part of the Federal government Alaskans through their Territorial gov ernment already are contributing more per capita than these in the States but the funds seem pitifuly small

ARMY PROMOTIONS

The Army has strange and mys- terious ways of doing things. Wit ness the promotions of 100 of the top brass to be permanent gener- als.
 Those who studied the list care- fully couldn't escape the impress sion that the selection board is now giving lot of weight to parlor politics. For instance: It's been an Army practice that no officer shall be promoted to the permanent grade of general unless he has seen overseas service in World War II.
 However. high on the latest list of promotions to major general was Mai. Gen Wilton B. Persons It so happened that Persons did net go abroad at all during the recent war He served right here in the nations Capital, in fact, most of the time under the Cap itol Dome.
 l Persons job was to lobby with Congress, get Army appropriations passed, and generally keep Con gress in a happy frame of mind. He did an excellent job. I In return. he is new promoted to the permanent rank of major general despite the rules against such promotions when an officer has not served overseas With the Army, lobbying rates high
 Another general on the list is Maj. Gen. Manton S Eddy, chief publicity expert for the War De- partment. Eddy is an able officer and has seen combat service How ever, he was No. l on the list even ahead Of several important lieutenant generals, including the famed combat officer, It. Gen. Joe

This is the story of Corn. Okla homa,' a little town of about 500 people near Route 66, a town so small that no railroad runs through it.
 There are only church, four or five buildings and grain ele- vatcr in the town" according to a neiehbcring flour miller who told me the story, but the farmers of that community hauled live car loads Of wheat to the grain eleva- to, which is 5000 bushels of wheat donated by the farmers of that Little community to the Friendship Train.

KILL MORE RATS-EAT MORE MEAT

The United States could probab- ly save 40o,000,O00 bushels of grain annually by two measures alone control Of rats and eliminating weevil from grain bins. elevators and freight cars.
 Few people realize the tremen- dous waste from these sources alone. Rats and other rodents, for instance. eat CT waste around 100000 0C0 bushels of grain annual ly. The waste in some corncribs is terrific And in orded to un- dertake an effective rat-extermin- ation campaign, it is almost nee essary for every farmer in com munity to exterminate at the same time. Otherwise, the rats leave enc farm for another.
 Last year Congress so drastically cut the funds of the Bureau of Wildlife that it's campaign against rats was knocked cold.
 Weeyils and other insects in grain bins and grain elevators des- troy another 3o00OO.000 bushels, which could be eliminated by prop CT spraying and Immigration.
 Plant diseases also take tre- mendous tell, but can be partly controlled. The wheat crop in Montana uas increased 25 narcent this year by spraying weeds.
 What Congress should do immed-, lately and at the special session. is to pass the appropriation re- quested by Secretary of Agricul- ture Anderson for insect.cide con- trol and soil conservation. This should be voted hand in hand with foreign relief. In fact, one is essential to the other

Slave Labor

It is euphemsm to refer to these men as prisoners of They in actual slave labor force pressed into the service of captor countries To show that 73 per cent of the prisoners held by the Soviet Union is only to establish degrees of guilt. For these to be sep arated arbitrarily from their families after the needs of have ceased is something very close to bar barism.
 A total of 1656532 German and Japanese pris- oners reportedly still are in Russian hands This figure is not especially surprising in country that has made use of slave labor internal policy The disturbing point is that France and Britain where the principles of the Geneva Convention or of prisoners have long been recognized
