Congratulations to the Com-
munity Public Service Co. over
■winning first place in a national
contest for safety of employees.
The company was second in the
contest last year, and took first
honors for 1945. This editor has
been acquainted with this com-
pany and many of its employees
since it came into this area about
fifteen years ago. Safety of its
employees is one of its first con-
siderations. Prompt service to
the customer is a slogan in em-
ployee meetings, and electricity
the company sells is the only pro-
duct we know about that has
been reduced in price during the
war years. We doff our hat to
the company’s director of em-
ployee safety and to the com-
pany for its public spirited policy
in its relationship to the public
it serves.
The atomic bomb seems determin-
ed to knock itself out by its own
power.
The worst habit some people have
is that of getting old. It wouldn’t
be so bad if they didn’t advertise it.
As one beautiful old silk stocking
said to the other, “So long friend, I
gotta run.”—Milwaukee Journal.
Some one has discovered that the
sad things about most diets is they
do so much for the will power and
so little for the waistline.
If they ever manufacture atomic
bombs in small packages and for
home consumption, this writer knows
where he can use one on nut grass.
Dining Car Racket
Bared by F. B. I.
New York—The Federal Bureau of
Investigation announced 118 men
throughout the country had been ar-
rested in connection with a dining
car racket which cost two railroads
more than $100,000 over a period of
a yygfr.
All of the men apprehended were
stewards, waiters or cooks employ-
ed by the New York Central and
Erie railroads.
Three methods of manipulating
food checks were used:
Waiters would leave blank food
order checks on tables, face down
or under a water pitcher and not
supply a pencil. This would discour-
waiter would make a pretense of
writing out the order and collect
for the meal in cash, pocketing the
money.
Seventy-five per cent of the con-
gressmen will have opposition next
year from veterans of the late war,
according to Washington reports.
The little lady up the street says
if it is all the same to Santa, she
would like for him to bring her hus-
band a lovely diamond brooch.
Some of the boys who are doing
service on Okinawa write home that
things seem to be in such a mess in
the United States they prefer to stay
where they are.
j Science is strahge. It tries to dis-
cover perpetual youth for all inan-
k'ind, then discovers a way to de-
stroy the world in a shorter time
than it took the creator to make it.
Santa Claus knows his customers.
He brings the young ones the things
they want and the oldsters the
tilings they need. Thus all are made
happy.
One glaring mistake in your life
will be more noticeable than a score
of virtues. If you don’t believe this,
edit a newspaper and see how many
people will call your attention to a
single misspelled word and how few
Wainwright Talks
On Japs Deceit and
Cruel Treachery
Gen. Jonathan M. Wainwright has
said the Japanese would remain a
world menace unless they were forc-
ed to give up the illusion that cessa-
tion of hostilities was merely a brake
and not a stop to their ambitions.
“Japan must be made to realize
on every step of her long road back
to acceptance among civilized na-
tions that a government does not in-
dulge in the excesses she has loosed
in the world these past fourteen
years and calk it quits when her
leaders have had enough,” he said.
“They must not be permitted for
one moment the illusion that we will
let them view the cessation of hos-
tilities as merely a brake and not a
stop of their ambitions. Before Ja-
pan again is allowed to take her
place among other respected nations,
she must be made to realize that her
medieval ways have no place in our
modern world.
“She must learn that truth and
humanity and righteousness rather
than deceit and cruelty and treach-
ery are the basis of international re-
lations and the way of life.
■ “The Japanese,” he said, “are not
sorry for what |they have done to
countless thousands in the popi lo-
tions of countries they have overrun.
“They are not sorry for the torture
they have inflicted on American sol-
diers. It simply would not occur to
them to be sorry, because they have
done nothing which is at variance
with their accepted philosophy.
“That is the point which should be
clearly understood. I am a soldier
and I do not pretend to know how
long will be required or by what
steps the bestial elements in their
nature can be eradicated.”

Nora, the maid, went to conult a
fortune-teller, and returned wailing
bitterly. «.
“Did she predict some great trou-
ble?” asked her mistress.
“Och, mem, sich terrible news it
is she’s told me!” moaned Nora,
rocking back and forth and wring-
ing her hands. “She’s after tellin’
me, me puir faither worruks hard
shovelin’ coal an’ tendin’ fires fer a
livin’.”
“But that’s no disgrace. You
should be glad he has a good job,
with things as they are.”
“Och, mem; job is ut? It’s dead
he’s bin these noine years now!”
Sympathy is what one woman of-
fers another in exchange for the de-
tails.
