ing phenomenons the Alaska
Railroads new $7,50O,000 terminal
yards at Fairbanks-is nearing the
home stretch on its completion
schedule with most of the work on
schedule, Col. John P. johnson,
general manager of the ARR, re-
vealed.
The 100 acre terminal yard, pro-
cured and constructed under the
eye of the veteran railroader, Col.
johnson, will be virtually COM
plete on Oct. 80. Some yard work
and a diesel generating plant will
not be finished until the 1850 build
ing season.
Among railroaders, the yard is
Utopia. 1T is perfectly laid out"
Col. johnson explains, land every
piece of track and building is de-
signed so it can be expanded"
If the need ever arises, that
yard can be doubled or tripled in
size," according to the general
manager. 1.-THE terminal yard itself
is perfectly level"
To Col. johnson and thousands
of other Alaskans, the yard is Sec
ond to none in the world. In its
sprawling 100 acres, which are as
neat as Mother Hubbard's cup
board, the big new terminal holds,
among few structures, an engine
repair house; a car shop; a lis
foot-50,000 gallon water tank; a
81 by 1870 foot warehouse; a COM

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1949-09-11

HHARLlE JUSTICE is quiet, in
~ tense Carolina mountain boy
who has achieved dazzling success
by reversing the normal cycle of
the career football player. Instead
of polishing his talents on college
fields so that he could graduate
into the professional leagues,
Justice first learned how to run,
kick and pass by playing three
years with a squad of wise old
pros. That was when he was taken
into the Navy and played on the
cambridge Naval Training Sta
ton team. Later he slipped back
into the college game by entering
the University of North Carolina.
He promptly became one of the
most ballyhooed college stars in
history. Twice named an ALL
American halfback, Justice is
the work horse of the TarheeI
backfeld as he starts his last
season of play. His long, stop
and-go runs, low. swift passes and
booming 5O-yard punts make him
a legitimate triple-threat.
Yet off the field Justice might
easily be mistaken for the team
waterboy. A handsome, dark
haired 24-year-old, he weighs only
l65 pounds, is not impressively
roped with muscles. He pipes

signals in high, squeaky voice.
Despite this lack of heft, Justice
gained nearly mile of yardage as
Carolina spun through its regular
season without a loss last year.
II learned more by playing with
the professionals for three years
than l ever could learn in college
ball." says Charlie. When l got

one either"

was refused a uniform when he
first reported for the cambridge
football team. He asked again the
next day and was handed a shabby
practice jersey, battered shoulder
pads and shoes a size too large.
This reluctance on the part of
the cambridge athletic depart
ment was understandable. Lou
Sossamon, Dewey Proctor, Lloyd
Cheatham, Harry Hopp and a few
more tons of professional stars had

which makes a grand total of $780,
991 ,449, 1928 Gong. Rec. Oct. 10,
page 15335). This colossal amount
means that the Federal Government
is spending at the rate of $1,000 per
second day and night throughout
the year The Truman Administra-
ton is spending at the rate of $500
for every $500 collected in revenues.
The Treasury Department state
ment at the close of the 18th week
of the current fiscal year, which
began last July l, discloses expen-
ditures of about $12 billions against
collections of $40 billions. If this
6-5 proportion should continue dur
ing the remainder of the fiscal year,
and there is no reason to believe
that it won't, the Truman deficit
for the year may even go over
ST billions.

Where in all the world can we
find a nation which has more rea-

these United States?
Richly blessed with mineral re-
sources, with amber waves of
ripening grain, with almost endless
miles of fruited plains, and with an
industrial potential which has made
possible a standard of living I'M
equalled anywhere else on earth,
the United States has been the
recipient of divine benedictions as
no other nation in all of history.
Will the churches of America be
crowded on this Thanksgiving Day.
Will American citizens heed the call
of their President to express their
gratitude to God for private and

Americas Christians will. In their

We have long admired the policies
so ably advocated by Albert S. Goss,
master of the National Grange. We
were again impressed, as we so often
have been, by the wisdom of what
he said at the national convention
of the Grange held in Sacramento,
Calf, last week Apparently he
does not think too highly of sub
sides of any nature.
Subsidies" declared Goss, make
beggars of the recipients and under
mine the basic qualities exemplified
in self-reliance, self-help, and in
diVidual initiative.
"One of the most serious features
of subsidy program" he continued
SIS that farm income would become
a political issue. Every year money
would have to be voted to pay the
subsidies, and in order to protect
their income the farmer would have
to vote for those who promised big
ger and better subsidies"
Goss would have bipartisan fed
eral farm board vested with power
to keep an eye on the farm market
and advise farmers, professors and
distributors on ways of meeting
problems of shortages and sur
pluses; to recommend to the secre-
tary of agriculture any means pro-
vided by congress to meet farm
problems. He would call for sub
sides only as a last-ditch measure.
He advocates at the same time bet
ter farm practices that would bring
greater yields per acre, and thus
greater net profits.
Mr.. GOss was very insistent that
the farm problem be kept out of
politics. In that we fear he is to
be disappointed. 1t is already in |
politics up to its neck. And already |
it is being said, Just see what I
have done for the farmer"
A few days ago l received a nice
letter from one of our good citizens !
and in it was enclosed an article |
from the Farm Journal, under the |
title, Potato Farmers Are MAD"
The article went on to say, They
never asked for what they got from
Uncle Sam; they don't want more
than other farmers now" They are
mad because of the criticism that is
being leveled at them. 4
It is interesting to see the many |
sides of this debatable question of
farm subsidies. In this article in
the Farm Journal one farmer was
quoted as saying: Let the farmer
run his own job. Let's pick our own
taters, and dump them to our own
pigs, and not on air strips, and we
won't have half so many rascals on
our payrolls" He was G. w. Os-
borne of Tulelake, Calf
Harold Blakely Of East Aurora, II
N. Y, said: Il would rather support
he government than have the gov
support me-"
But there are others who stand
1ut for 80 per cent parity, while
still others say a so per cent parity
would be sufficient.
One can see that there is a trem-
endous difference of opinion among
he farmers themselves on how to
solve the farm problem.

True ThonkfuIness
The Test of
BY Charles d. Rowe

Today IS the day set aside for
the people of this great nation to
give thanks to the Ruler of this
universe for the multitudinous bless
ings He has shoWered upon America
and upon each of us individually.
This is a unique observance. It is
distinctly an American custom and
it is a good one.
It is not difficult for the grateful
heart to find numerous and valid
reasons why one should give
thanks today-and on all days.
Some ask how can one give
thanks in world beset with fears,
uncertainties and turmoil? But here
IN America there is more reason
than ever for us to give thanks
because many of the grieVous trag-
edleS and Sufferings of other peoples
are not affecting us. We have our
problems of course, but here another
generous year has given the nation
another bountiful harvest. There is
food and clothing and warmth for
everyone. No one need go hungry.
Prosperity is a common condition
throughout this broad land. There
IS work for all who want it, and
there are more dollars jingling in
pockets than ever before. Surely
a beneficient Providence has smiled
on America.
Let it be said here that it is not
enough merely to be grateful for
blessings bestowed. That of course
is good, but much more is needed.
True thankfulness requires that
one do everything possible to make
and keep America safe; to relieve
suffering and distress; to remove
wrongs and to see that every man,
woman and child shall have full
justice. Thankfulness requires that
we strive without ceasing to insure |
that our children shall be born into
a good and clean environment; that |
each one shall have the priceless !
heritage of good health and that |
each shall have full and equal op- |
portunity to develop his talents as |
ne grows into maturity. Thankful I
ness calls for more than giving /
thanks. 1t calls for doing. II calls |
for life dedicated to the task of |
establishing justice and equal OPP
portunity for all men and in doing
what one can to establish right
eousnesS throughout the land.
The prophet of old said this so
well when he wrote hundreds of
years ago:
And what does the Lord require
of thee but to love mercy, do Justly
and walk humbly with thy God?"
Therein lies the test of true thank
fulness.
The Western news. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1933-current, 1949-11-24

Another thought along the line of
giving thanks is ably stated by
Graham Patterson in the Pathfinder.
He says:
On Thanksgiving Day it is not
enough to say I am thankful for
the American way of life. We must
The Western news. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1933-current, 1949-11-24

pledge ourselves to keep it safe.
American freedom will continue
only if we are resolved to perform
personal sacrifices in its behalf.
Democracy demands more civic
responsibility than any other form
of government. 1t demands an &C
tive, personal citizenship. Other
wise, democratic government be-
comes a mockery, and our freedoms
will disappear.
I'VE should be genuipely grateful
for our great American heritage,
but we must not be content to rest
upon that thankfulness. We must
work to preserve the freedoms
handed down to us, that we in turn
may hand them down to our child
