In Memory Of Our Dead
There is no occupation on the American calendar
of annual events which has a deeper and more heartfelt
significance than Memorial Day May 30 the day
upon which we pay special tribute to the memory of
our nation s dead Especially do we on Memorial Day
honor the lives and senices of those among our dead
who lie in graves hallowed by their sacrifices in defense
of our countrys flag So long as the United States
of America shall 1a e its people will honor with ceremony
nd prayer the men and boys who answered the
call to arms in time of war
Those whose patriotic heroism we remember on
Memorial Day are far beyond the need for our tributes
The services we hold in their memory are valuable to
our national traditions only because they serve to keep
ireih in our hearts and minds that ideal of American
citizenship which has made our nation the greatest in
the history of the world that ideal for which men this
very day are fighting and dying
In recognition of our soldier dead Tuha merchants
and citizens will fly the flag at half mast during the
morning and then raise it to full staff at noon to show
that our nation still lives American Legion members
will place a flag on the grave of each war veteran and
Veterans of the Foreign Wars will conduct their annual
poppy sale which gies us the opportunity to repay
the eternal debt we owe our heroes of the past
By purchasing poppies we can show how sincerely
grateful we are to them
Minute Editorial
We wish that the powers that be at Washington
would make up their minds as to whether there really
is a rubber shortage in this country There are too
many conflicting statements to keep up with One day
we are told that synthetic rubber will be available in
an abundance in a few months This is followed by an
announcement equally authentic that we may have
our rubber heels taken away from us Whatever happens
we will try and bear with but we dont like to
be kept changing our mind so much
Cossips are not honest fair or just If they were
they would not tell half truths and would not spread
the poison of their dirty suspicions as the truth We
have never belieed that the confirmed gossip would
ever reach hcaen for the reason that the gossip is un
xepentant The gossip wilfully and maliciously defames
the character of others and experiences as a result
of it a radistic satisfaction and never remorse or penitence
Such a person can never make it past the outer
guards to the pearly gates
Our guess is that the fellows who are going blythe
ly on under the impression that a substitute rubber
will be discovered in time for them to get tires when
they need them are in for a sad disillusionment Our
guess is that until the war is over tires will continue
to become scarcer and more difficult to get with each
passing month Under the circumstances its smart to
begin to figure out what one can do when he is down
to his last three tire
It may be true that if one builds a better mousetrap
that the world will beat a path to his door but
successful men prefer to locate their business in the best
location possible and proceed to tell the world about it
through advertising
Some folks cheapen their compliments and flattery
by being too ready and too profuse with them Compliments
and flattery are most valuable when handled
with restraint
BY THOMAS IIASTWELL
During the pa < t hundred years there has come into
being in this country an almost general tendency to
shift from the home to the day schools and the Sundav
schools and the churches and the Boy Scouts and the
Girl Scouts and kindred organizations the matter of
teaching character and courtesy and religion to the
young people Considering all things these agencies
have done a splendid job In fact in some instances
they have been the only source of such teaching that
many young people have had Splendid and fine as
these agencies are they cannot take the place of the
home when it comes to putting into the hearts and lives
ot young people Christian character and the essentials
of spiritual life Only the home can do that If the instilling
of these things into the lives of young people
were a matter of precepts and commands then such a
task would be simple but this is not the case Christianity
and Christian character are not transplanted
into young lives in this way God when he wanted to
instill these traits into the lives of men sent Christ
his only son to the earth that man might leam from
nun the way of life In like manner young people receive
only in the associations the attitudes the atmosphere
of the home the deep and lasting qualities of
Christian character that abide throughout life In the
teaching of these things there is no substitute for the
home

BV GEORGE PECK
We hde just pent everal
weeks in the Lone Star State of
Texas and we might add in all
truthfulness a mot enjoyable
several weeks Not only is Texas
a State of vast area but its citizens
have a vast capacity of hospitality
for the stranger fortunate
enough to be sojourning among
them
Perhaps we learned it at school
but if so we had forgotten Texas
during its history has been under
six flags viz the Spanish French
Mexican its own Republic the
United States and the Confederacy
As a matter of fact it has
repeated two of these the Spanish
and the Stars and Stripes
We found everywhere in the
Lone Star State that Texans are
perfectly satisfied with their present
flag the American They do
not want a seventh flag They are
particularly allergic to the idea of
a flag with Swastika or some other
pagan symbol emblazoned thereonThey are so determined that
such a catastrophe shall not come
to pass that they are more than
doing their part to see to it that
the Stars and Stripes continues to
wave from the mastheads of their
public buildings their army cantonments
etc Texans have gone
allout in their war effort Texas
factories are busy producing munitions
planes and armaments her
oil fields are pumping out the
liquid gold so esential to the successful
conduct of the war her
wide open spaces are producing
the beef to give sustenance and
energy to the fighting men of the
nation and her citizens are buying
War Bonds until it hurts
Yes Texas desires no seventh
flag If the nation as a whole is
doing its part on a basis comparable
to the war effort being put
forth by Texas then Hitler Mussolini
and Hirohito have reason
to tremble in their boots about
the final outcome of the holocaust

Praise Due Those gjj
Handling Sugar
Registration
BY FRANK DIXON
A word of appreciation and
even praise is due I think to
the school teachers and school
authorities of the country for the
splendid manner in which the big
task of enrolling the nation in
its first rationing program that
of sugar was handled
When it was decided to ration
sugar and even before plans were
complete it was announced that
the signing up for War Ration
Book One would be handled by
the school teachers of the country
during the first week in May
Although the request or order
came at a time when thousands
of schools were closing their years
Work and teachers were burdened
with the many details incident to
bringing to a close the school
term the teachers and school officials
throughout the country responded
patriotically and graciously
to the call for their services
It might be said it was up to the
teachers to do the job The government
had called them and they
had no alternative but to respond
as others are responding to the
extra demands placed upon them
because of the war It is true the
teachers had no other alternative
but the thing I noted in my community
was the fine spirit in
which the task was taken on I
did not hear a single word of
quibbling or criticism or complaintAnother feature oi the registration
which I think deserves notice
was the manner in which the
people responded and presented
themselves for registration under
a plan that was to restrict their
u of one of our most commonly
used commodities for outside of
bread itself no item of food enters
into more common use on
American tables than does sugar
I think this is a significant thing
It reveals the real deep down
attitudes of the American people
more than anything else could
The people of America pride them
elves on their independence and
their freedom from dictatoiial restraint
by their government This
Jeehng has grown through the
vears until it has become one of
tre baic tenets of what we call
our demociacv and our way of
life Yet whenever it is made clear
to the people of America that this
thing or that thing W necessary
to make surer our efforts to win
the war they respond in a fine
wholehearted patriotic and even
enthusiastic manner
It isnt an easy thing to give
up things to which we have become
accustomed over many years
and which have become a part of
our pattern of life It is by no
means an easy thing for people
who have never before experienced
it to accept without complaining
regimentation The fact that
there is objection to even this
much regimentation is in my
opinion evidence that we do value
our democratic way of life
I anticipate that the rationing
of sugar and gasoline and tires
is but the beginning As the war
drags on more and more items
will of necessity have to be rationed
but I believe that the people
of this country m every city
village and hamlet are going to
respond and patrotically cooperate
to help their country win the
war The giving up of something
the submerging of personal desires
and wishes for the cause gives
every individual a feeling of having
a real part an important part
in his nations struggle It affords
a tangible and personal medium
for the contribution of his individual
effort
An old timer is one who remembers
when two girls discovered
a man following them they
called a cop Now they match for
him
A man is said to reach his intellectual
peak at 35 we suppose
he spends the rest of his life
uiing what he learned the first
35 years

For the people back home to care enough for the
Soldier boys as to give all you can to the USO for a
home away from home surely will never regret it
and the boys appreciate it it has a lot to do with their
spirits It gives them good places to stay during their
minutes of relaxation the fun and friendship they deserve
A local boy writes The Army isnt so tough
with the USO here
Riding on one of the new streamlined trains is
like loafing n a hotel lobby but the scenery is more
interesting Sink back in the luxurious comfort of an
easy chair listen to the radio read or gaze at the rapidly
disappearing country side what a contrast to
the old make of trains which traveled over the same
rails 10 years ago
Rates in the diner are high but the food is well
prepared and delicious For those who do not care togo
to the diner porters bring a variety of food including
good sandwiches milk and candy in the day coaches
It took the tire rationing to make the public discover
the progress which has been made in rail passenger
transportation Riding on one of the new streamlined
trains for the first time is a satisfying new dis

With bicycles as popular and numerous as they are Snow
riders should pay Strict Attention to their own
safety and that of others Some rules to remember are
Obey all traffic signs Ride single file on the highways
or city streets Never carry another passenger on the
handle bars When riding at night carry a light If there
is no light on the bicycle carry a flash light Keep htth
hands on the handle bars at all times Be sure you have
a bell or horn Keep the tires brakes and all oquip
ment in good condition Always give an arm signil
when a turn is to be made Ride away from traffic
Ride on the right side of the road Park the bicycle
away from walkers using sidewalk Give pedestrians
the rightofway
