Germ. But it is there and it marks
the beginning of willingness of
the individual to have others
make his living for him, to pay
him for working even when he
chooses not to work, and guaran-
tee him returns on production
whether or not it is actually pro-
duced. In short, ethe evil Of gov
ernmental assurances and guar
antees begins where the risks
are taken out of living. That may
not be pleasant to contemplate,
but it is as essential to assume
the risks of living as it is to
walk if one wishes to learn how
to walk.
Delegation of responsibility or
its assumption, and the power
that goes with it, may be a COM
forting escape from the realities
of living, but the consequences
can be terrible and even fatal.
For there is the seed of destruc-
ton which has torn down every
great nation in the past. Even
proud Rome yielded and rotted
under its foul delusions.
Too many of US look at ma
chinery to bring us peace and
freedom. We expect the actions
of presidents and other leaders
to accomplish these objectives for
us. Those in power resist such
vital reforms as the Bricker
amendment, which would re-
move from any president the
power to change our constitu-
ton through the simple eXpedi-
ent of his entering into agree
ment with some foreign power.
Peace, like freedom, must be
built on morality, but it is the
morality of individual human be-
ings cumulated and oriented into
a national code of ethics. Back
of it all must be the never-ceas
ing quest for truth. If we would
be fit for freedom we must ac-
cept our responsibilities, and we
must know the truth before we
can exercise wisely the respon-
sibilities we must accept. The
same fitness that yields freedom
also is basic to peace. - Alfred
Haake.

Veterans Pensions
| continue to receive letters
from war veterans whose pen
slonS for serVice-connected dis
abilities are being reduced by the
Veterans Administration Many
of these men have been disabled
for many years and are now fac
ing reclassification. 1t is entirely
proper that the severity of dis
abilities be kept current in ac-
eordance with medical evidence.
Nevertheless, in the assistance
have attempted to offer these
men before the Veterans Admin
istration Board of Review, I am
impressed with the veterans
disadvantage in obtaining evid-
ence after the passing of many
years. The proof of events and
disabilities which occurred de-
cade or more ago is often lost
through the death of witnesses
or the destruction Of records.
Secondary evidence assumes
particular Importance in these
cases and if fair treatment is to
be accorded the veteran, full re-
cognition must be given to the
effects of the passage of time in
the type of evidence required.

legs inside. This object turned SO far
in one direction before reversing and
going in the other direction.
These washers didn't get clothes too
clean, though they were fair when it
came to washing blankets. And for
power they depended on whoever hap
pened to be around when Mother wanted
some washing done. And oh, the re-
SiStance there is in wet blanket inside
a wooden washer. How you have to
push the washing machine handle or
pusher, or whatever it isl Much worse
than any churn.
Besides washers, there were other
methods of washing, such as hanging
the clothes in a creek, or using a
'sstomper," a handle with triple suction
cups on the end. But these methods
were amateurish.
Still, it does seem as if some of the
thrill went out of washday with the
drudgery. No more matching your wits
with the wind, the weather, the family,
and even the pets, to get the wash done.
Can it be that the harder we work at
something, the more it means to us?
Maybe. But washday isn't washday
any more. Not like it used to be.

care in the world. But there are too
many who do not receive this care.
The chief reason for this lack of good
medical care is that too many people
do not have family doctor who will
see that they get it.
Every family and every Individual
should have personal physician. Too
many people do not think of making
arrangements for a doctor until some
one in the family gets sick, and then
sometimes it is impossible to get q
physician just when they want one,
or they pick one at random and do not
get the kind of physician that they
need. If they had family doctor whom
they could call they would save time
and money, and lot of worry.
Your Medical History
Your personal physician, by his con-
tact with you under many different Cir
cumstances, will know your medical
history, your temperament and your
of this intimate knowledge, he is better
able to guide and help you with your
medical problems and help clear up
illness that might linger on for COM
siderable time.
We all know people who have gone
hither and yon for ailments and never
do get any help. Often this is because
they do not hayN personal physician
or have not taken the time to sit down
and talk their troubles over with a
doctor who has known them for a long
time and would be able to do more for
them than anyone else If they had given
him a chance. Sometimes people do not
give doctor chance They 60 once
and, il they aren't cured, they go to
another doctor and start over The Of
fees of the quacks are filled with
people who either do not have a family
doctor or do not take his advice. Near
ly as much money is wasted each year
this way and by buying patent medi-
cines as is spent for good reliable med
ical care and advice.
A Person You Like
In picking q doctor for your personal
physician there are certain things that
enter into your choice, other than his
qualifications. That is whether you per-
sonally like him and feel that you can
trust him. Your personalities and tenn
peraments should not clash, otherwise
he could be the best doctor i'm the
world and he would not be good for you
because you would not follow his adj
vice. Tn specialist this is not quite
so important as he is called i'm to do
special job, and when that is done he
will send you back to your own doctor.
When everyone has family doctor,
then everyone will have access to the
best medical care available and will
get medical care when he needs it at
great saving to himself.
IL you haven't a family doctor get
one. If your neighbors haven't family
doctor try and get them to get one. It
will be the best health insurance you
ran carry.

THESE DAYS, with the combination
washer-drier, your washing takes only
minutes No doubt there will soon be an
ironer-mender connected up with the
washer-drier.
Washday? Wash-minutes, you mean.
That's not the way washday used to
be- Washday once was something you
prepared for and nerved yourself up
to, like a major war. tt was, in fact,
a war against dirt.
Day before washday, Father hitched
up the gentle team to the stone boat,
loaded on a couple of wooden sixty
gallon barrels, and set off for the
coulee. While he sloshed water into the
barrels with bucket the horses drank
their fill, and the frogs and garter
snakes got out of the way, quick.
With the bringing of the water,
Fathers responsibility ended. That is,
unless a cow or horse came along and
decided to take good rub on the
cIothesline pole and knocked it down,
or calf wanted to try out the fresh
soapy flavor of Mothers dishtowels.
I'm this case, Father had to remove the
offending livestock and set up the pole
again.
Overnight Soaking
Should the clothes seem especially
grimy, Mother rubbed them with soap
and soaked them overnight. This was
a good time to watch your step, SO as
not to fall into the soaking tubs of
clothes.
On washday, which started as early
as possible, the old tin or copper clothes
boiler occupied the two front holes, or
the place OF honor, on the old coal
stove, which was, of course, red hot.
Meals, on washdays, were mere nui-
sances, to be gotten out of the way as
quickly as possible in order to get down
to the main business of the day. Cats
and children stayed outside, washdays.
First into the wash boiler went the
whitest clothes, such as Sunday shirts,
which had first been rubbed out on
the glass washboard A part of cake
OF soap was cut into the boiler. Now
and then long stick was used to turn
over the clothes in the boiler When
the clothes were finally fished out,
after maybe half hour of boiling,
they were pure. No germs could have
survived.
More Processes, More Clothes
After boiling, the clothes were rubbed
once more, rinsed, blued, starched,
hung out. A new batch of clothes had,
of course, been rubbed out while the
first load boiled, and these were now
put in to boil Sometimes a second
clothes boiler took its place beside the
first one, and clothes boiled in it too.
Only white clothes were boiled, unless
you had some really fast coIors, or
clothes so faded they didn't matter.
Clothes faded more those days, too.
Most clothes were made of cotton
There were quite few woolens, too,
which had to be washed more carefully
