American Way
THE ROAD AHEAD
BY MORTON CLAUsEN

John T. Flynn has written an
other book: "The Road Ahead" /"
he tells in its opening sentence
why he wrote the book: "My
purpose in writing this book is
to attempt to describe the road
along which this country is
travelling to its destruction"
t.he book has the power of To-
glc and persuasion, carries a
strong appeal to reasoning into
fundamentals, and is weapon
badly needed in our battle for
survival as individuals and as a
free nation.
'The Road Ahead" exposes
with amazing clarity the forces
that have successfully attacked
the free enterprise system in
Europe to supplant it with a col
lect1vistic tyranny, and how we
IN America have directly and in
directly aided and abetted this
SaoNSA olNC 1llONGIIlGnl.
John T. Flynn realistically re-
Veals how far down the road to
Socialism we have travelled in
America. He points out how re-
lentlessly shrewd has been the
propaganda against the "Ameri-
can Way" and how socialistic
tenets have become an integral
part of our social and economic
thinking; how even the most con-
servative-minded become tainted
and unwittingly have become
I dupes and pawns in the vicious
| war upon established tradition.
The book reveals that although
trough our constitutional gov
' .rnment, historic precedence and
philosophical ideologies, we have
had the weapons and power to
combat and forestall this drift
ing into Socialism, we have
lacked the clarity of vision. the
political and economic astuteness
and the moral integrity to wage
an intelligent fight toward stem
ming the tide.

atlng factors that have been at

Al Local Telephones To
Be Changed Over To Dial
Operation Sunday, Sept. Is
Beginning At s A. NJ, En-
tire Operation Will Be
Completed In A Short
Tim e; M ayor Will
Make First Call.

At s A. M, next Sunday, Septem-
ber Is, a group of men with strings
In their hands will be standing in
the new Milford dial central Office
of the Diamond State Telephone
Company, waiting for signal
which will change all local tele-
phones to dial operation.
When the signal comes they will
pull the strings and then rush to
other strings to pull them. Each
pull will connect another group of
with Milford's new dial
system and the entire operation
should be completed in very short
time.
This will be the final step in a
project which required many
months to prepare for and cost
more than 100000, including the
construction of new central on
ice building.
Theodore w. Collins, local man
ager, explained that all present
telephones are connected with both
the manual switchboard and the
new dial apparatus. The dial con-
nections, however, are blocked
by small tools" which are held be-
tween springs. Each tool has a
string connected with it and the
strings are connected in groups SO
that one pull of a master string can
pull out a number of the tools.
When the time comes for the
"cut-over" it is known in tele-
phone language, central office men
will first cut the lines leading to
the old manual switchboard. When
that is completed, a signal will be
given and the strings will be pull
ed. When the tools snap out, the
springs will go together and the
connection will be completed tt
the dial apparatus.
