_1'BROWNWOOO OR BUST," FOR A REAL VACATION

f ood have food reasons to enjoy the kind of a vacation that

For those who can afford to

nore profitable experience could be had than juft devot-
teng the time to resting, getting better acquainted with their
* families and neighbors, and doing a bit ox reading and play-
There’s a fair chance that most of us haven't had time to
get acquainted with all of the people in our own blocks, to
: reed many of tha new books and magazines that have accum-
! u la ted, to do any fishing in Lake Brown wood or to look up
• farmer friends and get a load of the fresh fruits and vegeta-
J bias that are ripening now.
Without gomg beyond the boundaries of Brown county, a
t person should be able to have a gorgeous vacation.
Most people have been living a rather hectic life during
• the last year or two. The war has gotten under our skins,
i We’re apt to grow irritable and nervous and worry too much.
Looking back on the past, it's easy to see that the long
J trips and crowded schedules of past vacations have used up
; more energy than they accumulated, coat more money than
\ they were worth, developed habits
. not all for the bdht
and customs that were
I
We Hope, We Hope, We Hope
‘‘California or Bust’* was a national disease. It was an
j effort to escape from the boredom of boundless spaces. It was
; the welt of a rash of self-chastisement born of too little to do
and too much time in which to do it
We sought in vain for horizons beyond the horizon, and
; found that the world was little and round and vicious.
| Nothing in life but has its bounds, its arbitrary sphere-
j rings, its circies of activity.
When we escape from our little spheres, for a time we feel
| free and expansive. Only to discover that the perimeter of
: our activities has moved but not changed. We are still in a
: cycle, a sphere, a circle.
That circle becomes a vicious one as we make it so.
; For many of us, this may be the last chance before going
I away to war to become better acquainted with home sur-
j roundings, family and friends. These are the things that will
• mean the most to ua after we have gone away.
Those who go away to war will get plenty of travel away
| from home. Perhaps more than plenty.
1 In the quiet of home, in the library, the church, on the
2 banks of a lake or a quiet stream, at tha theatre and among
• friends—those are the places where dwells America in ita
! true goodness and grace.
Those who could go away but who choose to stay home this
summer will best serve themselves and their country.
: The money saved will help win the war. The rubber saved
i will help prevent gasoline rationing. The gasoline saved will
;help buy war brads sad fuel ships and planes of war. -Tbs
• energy saved will strengthen bodies. The health conserved
j will be needed later on to meet the rigors of a long war. The
{peace of mind gained will increase the morale of the com-
jmunity and nation. And the joys, memories and fun will
; flavor one’s lifs forever.
And far those who “must go sway” somewhere—there are
t a lot of openings in (he armed forces and in the civilian war
{plants.
For the pqople of Brownwood we propose a new slogan—
| ‘ Brownwood or Bust” for • real vacation.
! LIES WON'T WIN THE WAR
t
J If lies could win a war, the Axis would have been victo*
• Meua in September, 1939.
• The world has been treated to the greatest exhibition of
| plain and fancy lying in the memory of man.
| It doesn’t get the job done.
Americans should always remember that Baron Mun-
• chausen didn’t flower to fecund falsehood beneath the truth-
\ ful color* of the Stars and Stripes.
The point is, that it’s too late for us to learn to lie about
the war.
Emulating the Axis and other countries which we could
mention would be not only nonsensical but disastrous.
If the people of the United States race become convinced
that their Army and Navy—or any other branch of the Gov-
ernment—has slipped into the foreign custom of lying about
• war reports, that moment will be a sorry one for our country.
It will be sorry because the people will quit believing any-
! thing they are told. They will begin depending upon the
rumor factories of the neutral nations, and the propaganda
; mills of the Axis, to furnish hints of what is really happening.
We don’t believe that moment will come; and to make sure
that if never comes, we should be prepared to watch out for
• the first sign of lies.
A lie is s statement about something that will not stand
the light of facts.
A typical war lie is Hitler’s statement to the Germans last
autumn that the Ruaaian war machine had been “liquidated.”
A similar American lie would be a statement that we have
‘ nothing to fear from Japanese troops in the Aleutian Islands.
: A lie is a sign of weakness. It’s a sign that the liar doesn’t
•know how to cope with the problem at hand.
: Lies wont win the war. we want nothing but the truth.
Any time there is an occasion for lying, it’s time the people
knew the whole truth—that very moment ' ‘

A new ere of administrative

The word ‘directive" is an old but
rarely used one in diplomatic lan-
guage. But now there is a veri-
table flood of directives floating
around official Washington. No
one can do anything without a di-
rective. By long odds, “directive"
is the new fashionable, polysyllable
three-dollar word of IMS in Wash-
ington.
