A Reassuring Message
To Those Who
Might Hesitate
To Make Their
Own Funeral
Arrangements

Some persons surprised. or even astounded,
upon learning that friend or acquaintance has
made funeral arrangements in advance. These
persons, however quick to see the wisdom
OF such move when they are told the facts.
If you are one of those who would hesitate at
the thought OF such move, let us offer you re-
assurances concerning its thoughtfuness and
practically. Not only will your loved ones deeply
appreciate your foresight at some future time
but you may save your estate great deal Of
money.
1t Is this practical approach that is most appeal
ing to the practical man or woman. A quick look
at the facts reveals that the individual making
his own funeral arrangements is not subject to
the stress Of bereavement and acts wisely rather
than showing disregard for cost
Added to this is the fact that by paying for your
funeral now-or budgeting its cost in small pay
mentS over period of time-you are saving your
self the difference between todays funeral costs
and the increased costs that the future might
bring.
Gawler 81 Sons make every effort to serve be-
reaved persons with appropriate funerals that are
within the means of all. We find added satsfac-
ton in being able to serve those thoughtful in
dividuals who take the time to make their own
funeral arrangements in advance. We would be
most cooperative If you wish to make this latter
type of arrangement.
If you have hesitated in the past let this message
reassure you that the making Of funeral arrange
ant fnr d feel
move Please come in and discuss the matter
in detail, or you may phone for an appointment
at a time that suits your convenience.

This latest honor was due him.
There will be no quarrel, either, over
the other three choices in this years bal
loting. Ted Lyons was a stylish, workman
like pitcher who posted an extraordinary
record of winning 26O games in II seasons
with the same club, the Chicago White Sox,
during most Of which time It was second
division OUTFIT. The more colorful pair OF
this years winners were National Leaguers,
the "freball' pitcher Dazzy Vance OF the
gayest-even If not most successful-era OF
the Brooklyn Dodgers and Gabby Hartnett,
the burly Chicago Cubs, catcher who loved
the game so much he often wondered why
ball players needed to be paid.

that another graduate Of Grifiith Stadium

how 10 handle that We do not have
the time to look-see what Is being done
to US elsewhere.
In fact, we are all SO eager TO keep
up with the Joneses (not the Temple
ton Joneses) that we pretend to each
other that we are Indifferent to the
taxing threat.
But the time viii come, according TO
Prophet Jones, when every one Will
have to face the situation. and then
1t will be too late.
Already many are faced with deduc-
tions from payrolls TO such an extent
that their take-h0me pay (a SAD
pfrase) amounts 10 80 little that they
are perpetuaIly clamoring for more pay.
Who can blame them2
Labor trouble doesn't all stem from
grasping men, but some Of 1t, Is says
Templeton Jones. from the antics OF
the various taxing authorities.
They are taxing the people TO death,
and here again with utter indifference.
The whole tax structure Is going TO
blow up In about 20 years, says Tenn
pleton Jones.
He won't be here, but you don't have
to be any place II you can see In ad-
vance. II the American people would

Council at every great holiday pleads

The results?
Three hundred killed. $50 killed. 260
killed--the terrible roll reads as u
there were malice somewhere In the
minds of people.
Just indifference, probably, as Tenn
pleton Jones says. Nobody knows his
neighbor well enough to give Q whoop
whether he runs him down or not.
Aggravating the situation are the
longer, wider and faster cars.
The thing speaks for itself. but to
listen to the screaming maidens her
aiding the new cars on the radio the
listener would think that these factors
had nothing at all to do with It.
The truth, still according to Jones,
is that the average prosperous. well-
fed American evidently Is not capable
Of handling such speeds. at least as
times.
The third way in which Americans
SHOW their hate of each other Is IN
their hurry to tax each other to death.

Templeton Jones says the American
people hate each other.
Three things, he says. show 1t.
The first is the present day tendency
Of the populace at large never to agree
with each other.
Even great elections make millions OF
voters divide right down the middle,
almost $3.50 on the candidates.
On almost every conceivable propose
ton people refuse to agree. Some say
this is q healthy state Of affairs, and
this Is true, If the communistic type Of
vote, 100 per cent for one candidate,
can be regarded as the other extreme.
The point, however, rs Templeton
Jones sees 1t, Is that Americans have got
to the state OF mind where the moment
they find out the views Of neighbor
they disagree with them on principle.
This is the FIRST indication OF uni
versal hate.
The second Is the death rate from
automobiles.
with approximately $4,000 killed each
year on the roads, and 100000 wound

very much. for pitched battle would
not have such casualties.

"A More vuIuoble DoIIur

nevertheless getting los per cent more
in real income. A better way to put
it is that people are more. prosperous
now because they get more for their
labor even If they get less for dollar.
It is not true that our money is
buying less. On the contrary American
dollars are buying more than ever, and
this Is the first time In our history
that war has been followed by con-
tinued prosperity Il mean World War
ID. It Is true that each dollar buys
roughly half what 1t bought In 1888.
but the country has about five times
as many dollars. It follows by simple
arithmetic that American dollars are
buying more than twice as much as
they were buying in 1888. It is not what
each dollar buys but what all Of our
dollars together buy that matters. This
is all the goods and services sold in
the United States.
The value Of the dollar cannot be
determined by q consideration Of the
cost-of Living index changes alone. At
the same time. production changes
must be kept in mind, The vast in

dollar vastly more valuable because
there are more things around for 1t

On the other hand, jeans can be thrown
