Redmond Archer
Resigns As Mayor

The village of Sarahsville is
really in a fix this week.
Mayor Redmond Archer, of
Sarahsville, resigned at a heated
council meeting, Monday night,
when he was openly accused of
letting political pressure influ-
ence him in the traffic case of
Donald Smith.
Mr.. Archer could not be
reached today for a comment but
his resignation leaves the village,
east of Caldwell, without a
mayor since A. r. Hicks, presi-
dent of the council, does not
wish to serve in this capacity.
Mr.. Hicks is serving as treasurer
of Noble county.
AS it now stands this week,
Sarahsville is functioning with
out a mayor, without a marshal
and short two councilmen.

and partly as a result of efforts
begun in the United States, many
of our new highways are being
beautified, and advertisements
end billboards are not being al
lowed to ruin the scenery along
the roadside.
In addition, access roads are
clearly marked by signs, which
tell the motorist where he can
stop for gas, or lodging or dining.
These signs are uniform and do
not mention brand or trade names
but merely point to the access
road which leads from the high
way to the commercial establish
ment or establishments.
We are in favor of this trend
in highway construction. Nature
provides many beauties, not the
least of which is a panorama
of the countryside. Motorists who
can get out on the highway and
enjoy the countryside and the
unmatched views of the rolling
hills and streams and vegetation
absorb some of the benefits they
would get in a walk through the
woods. When the view is con-
stantly INSTRUCTED by commercial
ization and advertising, this is
lost.

GOOD BYE HUCK FINN

Stephen Fosters "Old Black
Joe" is a piece of immortal
Americana, loved and sung by
tens of millions of people over
the generations. But it has been
banned from certain air net
works-on the grounds that it
contains racially offensive phra-
ses.
Now the New York City Board
of Education has taken "The Adj
ventures of Huckleberry Finn"
from its approved textbook list
for grade and junior high
schools. A great many excellent
critics regard Huck Finn IS the
greatest of all American novels,
and practically all put it very
high on the short list of genu-
inc classics. The New York
Times reports a publisher as
saying the book was banned be-
cause, like Stephen Fosters won
derful old song, it was held to
contain racially offensive mater
ial.
There is only n logical end
to such a trend. All literary and
musical material which happens
to offend anyone should be
those offended
are white men, yellow men, or
black men; Protestants, Catholics
or Jews; business men or labor
leaders, and SO on ad infinitum.

DOOLITTLE: A
STAFF
(Selectedl

We agree with Lieutenant
General James H. Doolittle, re-
tired, that the time may be al
hand when the United States
would benefit from a sort of Cen
eral Staff. We do not think a
General Staff would threaten to
take over the United States.
On the other hand, it is OBJ
vious that we need something,
and this country has never ex-
perimented with a General Staff
organization. The General Staff,
as Doolittle emissions it, would
include members of all the SER
vices and would exercise overall
super vision of the defense and
military sphere.
A General Staff is a more
homogeneous top-level establish
ment than that which comprises
our complex top echelons today.
It would be capable of more 10
ordination, more efficient plan
ming, direct control and swift
action
General Doolittle has never
been one to mince his words or
shrink from a formidable prob
lem. He has done his country a
service by speaking up for a
General Staff, even though all
those who remember the terrible
results Of two German Stats
might be inclined to throw up
their hands in horror.
The times, however, call for
ruthless prosecution and coordi-
nation of our defense effort. Sur
vival may allow us to do no less.

Good exterior color makes
well-de.signed house look better
and can do much to improve the
appearance of a poor one, says
color stylist Beatrice West, writ
ing in House and Garden maga-
zine.
Before you commit yourself
to pale pink walls and a gray
roof, consider three things" says
Miss West. These are:
I. Size and architecture. "A
dark roof makes a house look
lower" the color styiist says.
-tOn a ranch house, for instance,
the combination of dark roof and
light walls may seem to cut the
house in half horizontally.
'If your house is an old one,
large and nondescript, you prob
ably will want a color scheme
that breaks up the bulkiness.
Be Different
"Don't be bound by conven-
fion. All saltboxes need not be
red nor all Colonial dwellings
white with green shutters. Car
nation pink is marvellous color
for a saltbox and pastel citron for
a Colonial"

dows and panel doors can be
stained or painted, and various
types of siding have colors built
in.
3. Location. The site of a house
is important in color planning,
says Miss West, because the COL
ors generally should fit the eli
mate and surrounding landscape.
Vivid colors seem at home in
sunny climates, but are likely to
appear gaudy when the leaves
fall in a northern region" she
says.
Start With Roof
Where does color scheme be-
gin?
"Plan from the roof down."
advises Miss West. "The roof
represents the largest unbroken
expanse to the eye and is the
most likely part of house to
stay unchanged for the longest
time. Colors now available in
roofing range from pastels to
dark tones"
Starting with the roof gives
you "key color" for siding,
painting trim and wood win
dows, and even for interior color
schemes. Miss West says that the
siding should harmonic with the
roof but can be another color
altogether. Trim and windows
should match the siding, or be
painted white. A third, accent
ing color, can be used on doors
and flower boxes to add bright
spots of interest.
