Remarks that come from our
last couple Of special membership
meetings convinces us that "a
speech should be like woman's
skirt, long enough to cover the
subject and short enough to be in
teresting."
To Whom II May Concern
Nothing is easier than to find
fault
RudenesS is inexcusable
And thoughtless remarks are
better left unSaid.
But courteous folks, considerate
of others feelings
Are welcome everywhere!
It's silly to get riled about little
things and its
Plain common sense to remain
calm where larger irritations are
involved
A pleasant word or a smile, at
the right moment, has solved
many tense situations.
Yes, there's much more sense in
being calm, friendly and under
standing. It's healthier, too, by
far!
Only "small" people derive sat
isfaction from being uncivil to
others, and only those with 'lit-
tie" minds like to brag about how
they told others where to get
off"
In short, be polite to others and
they will be polite to you. You'll
be better liked, you'll have more
friends and you'll get ahead
faster!
They call it legal tender
That green and lovely stuff
It's tender when you have it
But when you don't it's tough.
Workers Hurt BY Farm Recession
An article in this column on Oc-
tober 9th called attention to the
plight of the American Farmer
and explained how 1--WE (plant
workers) are in the same boat"
with the farmer. We also won
dered if the Administration would
rise to the situation and act quick
ly to check the farmers tobogan-
ming income before it becomes
widespread.
Looks like our question is being
answered. While hunger stalks
most of the world today, timid
men in Washington who control
federal farm policies are attribut-
ing most current farm ills to
"over production" They even talk
of farm economy REIMBURSEMENT"
as though falling farm prices were
necessary and even desirable.
The c. /. o. considers both ex-
plantations as inadequate and i'll
conceived Since last election
1870 drop in farm prices has
forced farmers to curtail pur-
chases of farm implements made
by plant workers.
Right now, depression is de-
veloping in many farm areas, and
about all the farmers have to COM
bat it are vague promises of a bet
ter farm program pretty soon.
But the farmer can't eat those
promises; and if the farm recess
sion continues, there's danger that
city workers won't be eating so
well either. When the farmer suf-
fers setbacks, they can't buy pro-
ducts made by union members in
the nations factories; and unem-
! ployed workers cut down their
buying of farm products. Quick
action to check the farm recession
must be taken by our government
by boosting both farmer and work
er purchasing power.
History shows that when farm
income is high, labor income also
rises and the nation enjoys pros
perity.
We believe the farmers them
selves are best able to determine
better farm program and we in
tend to do all in our power to back
the farmer in his fight.
The miracle of increased farm
production helped win World War
II. Today it remains one of our
best weapons in the struggle for
mems hearts and minds.
Cutbacks in farm production at
a time when the world beyond our
borders cries for food would be
worse than folly.
