Boy Scout Week
February G 12 is Boy Scout Week The whole nation
pauses to salute the organization which has contributed
so greatly in this World War as in the last
to the winning of the War But Scouting docs not rest
on its laurels The praises which Scouts so justly have
deserved for their countless services to their country
only spur them on to greater endeavor
It is hard to see how War Bonds and Stamps could
be sold or vital materials salvaged or all the varied
forms of printed information distributed without the
untiring help of these public servants But there arc
higher services ahead Almost 400000 Scouts arc 10
years old or older they may change ranks to the armed
forces before the conflict is over
The soldier who has been a Boy Scout makes a
better soldier and former Sea Scouts are officer material
for the Navy the Const Guard and the Merchant
Marine The Toughen Up Buckle Down And Carryon
to Victory theme of Scouting until the war ends
will save lives through consummate training and will
make better citizens in the process
Scouting is training for a way of life the kind of
life America chooses to lead the kind for which her
sons are fighting across the seas On those fronts and
on the front at home the qualities which Scouting
stands for courage and character assure us of Victory
and a lasting peace
Service With A Smile
The determination of progressive American industry
to give needed service to civilians has never been
more clearly illustrated than by the oil companies of
the nation
Wilh millions oi automobiles running on rationed
gas thousands of conveniently located gas stations still
serve the public courteously and efficiently
In spite of the loss of tire sales and most of the gas
sales attendants largely girls today continue to meet
the public with a smile For the few gallons of gas that
the average motorist can buy they clean his windshield
and check his tires fill his radiator and battery
and do countless other necessary things
There is no crabbing or grumbling Attendants
know that a serious condition exists and they are doing
all in their power to comply with necessary restrictions
and yet make the situation as convenient as possible
for the public until a happier day arrives
That is the indomitable American spirit It is the
spirit that will win the war So a smile for the girls
and the men who are keeping this essential public
service functioning
Weekly Sermon
BY THOMAS IIASTWELL
I visited a meeting of our local Rotary club recently
The theme of the discussion for the day was
Honesty in Business Without exception the speakers
said that honesty in business consisted in dealing
honestly with ones customers not misrepresenting in
any way the merchandise Without exception the speakers
felt that it was legitimate and ethical to get all
the business that it was possible to get There was one
point that none of the speakers touched upon as I
hoped they would That was the angle of the merchant
In my opinion it is not only important that a merchant
give the square deal and not misrepresent the merchandise
or over charge him but it is also important
that the merchant give himself a square deal I do not
believe it either Christian or ethical for a merchant to
sell his merchan isc at a price that in justice to himself
he cannot afford and which in time will result
in his impoverishment and bankruptcy It is as important
that he be as honest with himself as he is with his
customer For the merchant who gives his customer the
best deal possible and is just and fair to himself is
ethical and Christian The motto of the Rotary Club
He profits most who serves best does not give a
merchant license to deprive himself of profits for the
purpose of ruining his weaker competitor I think
there are some things about the Rotary motto that some
business men have never understod

A lot of linotype operators who wandered off into

are going to be coming back home one of these days to
find the old mill being run just as expertly by one of

There is an old story about the man who kept his
pigs in the parlor If the price of porkers keeps on going
up a safer place than the parlor is going to have

Problems Of
PostWar World
Must Be Faced
BY GEORGE PECK
The first concern of every American
today should be the putting
forth of every effort to win the
war as speedily as possible That
we arc going to win is practically
an assured fact as to when is
still a matter of conjecture Every
hour until our enemies lay down
their arms will cost this nation
lives and money Therefore now
that we are sure we arc going to
win lets have at it with everything
we have bend every energy
make every necessary sacri
iiee to hasten the day of victory
In doing this however we
should not lose sight of the fact
that when the peace finally comes
America will face another great
problem that of converting back
from war to peacetime activity
It is not a moment too soon for
industry business and agriculture
to begin plans of procedutc for
when tho peace is won It is encouraging
to know that industry
is fully conscious of the tremendous
task with which peace will
confront it To this end the Committee
For Economic Development
has been organized and is
on tho job This committee is a
private nonprofit corporation
completely independent and self
perpetuating and is financed by
contributions from Indivdual businesses
It is neither an official or
semiofficial agency of government
but it has the active support
of Secretary of Commerce
Jesse II Jones and has been assured
heaily cooperation by every
government agency concerned with
the problem of postwar economyPaul G Hoffman President of
the Studebaker Corporation is
chairman of Tho Committee For
Economic Development He has
stated the enormity of the problem
in apt and understandable
language He says The future

Wasncr Act
Offers Worker
No Protection
BY FRANK DIXON
The anthracite coal miners have
called off their strike and have
returned to work at the order
of President Roosevelt and without
gaining their demands
The strike was called by the
anthracite miners in protest
against an advance of SO per cent
in Union dues levied by John
Lewis and his organization An
incident in the strike but by no
means the reason for tho strike
was a demand for two dollars a
ady increase in wages by the
miners
The miners protested the increase
In union dues Under the
Wagner Act a miner If he works
must pay the union dues whether
he believes they are fair or unfair
The employer is forced to
deduct the dues from the miners
check and turn it over to John
Lewis The miners do not know
what is done with their money
No report of expenditures or receipts
is made to them
In tho case of this particular
lug John Lewis says that the increase
in dues was voted in convention
Tho anthracite miners
state that they had no representation
in the convention and that
the lug in their case was taxation
without representation
The singular point about the
matter of the strike is that after
all It was the miners who had
to make the concessions Though
imposed upon by an arbitrary and
totalitarian leadership they were
the ones who were put on the
spot and held up to tho nation
as men who were impeding the
war effort and were depriving
industries and homes of desperately
needed fuel
It was to the miners that President
Roosevelt issued his order
not John L Lewis not the Union
officials These were not mentioned
They were allowed to proceed
with their plans and impose
a resented burden upon the coal
miners It was the coal miners
not John L Lewis not the union
officials who yielded and gave
tre nations war industries the
needed fuel Had the yielding
been up to John L Lewis and
the union officials no one doubts
but that the mines would still be
closed and the nations pleas
for fuel would have been ignored
The reason back of the whole
affair lies in the Wagner labor
act a purely lopsided piece of
radical legislation that was rammed
through a supine and spineless
Congress The Wagner Act
carries a long list of unfair and
forbidden practices on tho employer
side but not one line or
one woid defining an unfair or
forbidden practice on the other
side It is supposed to protect the
wotker against the employer but
it offers the worker no protection
against his union official
The Wagner Act is lopsided It
was conceived in fanatical partisanship
was dictated by ambitious
labor leaders ami insidiously
designed to build powerful labor
organizations It is singular
that it should rise up to harass
the very administration whose
lack of judgment and wisdom
encouraged and worked for its
passage The anthracite coal miners
at least have discovered as
perhaps have other workers that
the law which they thought was
designed for their welfare in the
present situation offers nothing
for them
The new Congress should include
in the list of repair bills
it has in mind a revision of the
law to the end that it may serve
workers the public and employers
as well as it does the repa
cious power hungry labor leaders

Just to prove how some people value the Home
Nursing course we quote from the Red Cross Public Information
Service of the Midwestern Area at St Louis
Mo All Catholic nuns In Denver will take the Red
Cross Home Nursing course and Rather than miss the
last session of the Red Cross Home Nursing course a
group of farm women rode to Fairfield La over muddy
roads in a farm wagon
The Boy Scout organization of America has reached
its 33rd birthday and is celebrating the occasion by devoting
its annual Boy Scout Week which bgcins Saturday
and ends Feb 12 to the beginning of a years
hard work to help win the war Toughen Upl Buckle
Downl And Carry on to Victory is the theme adopted
for this year Wo pay tribute to our own local scout
troop and promise them our full support in any undertaking
they may choose to accomplish
With tho skies remaining clouded over well into
the afternoon last Tuesday we were sure that we
would begin having warm pretty weather but the sun
came out and blasted all our hopes because the groundhog
saw his shadow and crawled back into his hole for
another six weeks
There arc going to bo less buttonholes in clothing
fewer saxophones and clarinets golf balls toys novelty
jewelry and styles in ladys shoes because some of the
leading New England industrial plants which have been
making equipment for their manufacture are now engaged
in war work For instance you will miss tho
Fuller brush salesmans knock at your door for this
company in Hartford Conn is now making motor shafts
and supercharger parts
Walker B Jones pulled the prize stunt of the year
Saturday night when he stole Doc Nances car and
had half the Panhandle authorities out looking for it
Coming out of tho post office Mr Jones got in what ho
thought was his sisterinlaws car and nonchalantly
drove off A few minutes later Doc Nance became
frantic when he walked out of the post office and found
his noninsured car gone He notified local officers who
radioed other officers to be on the lookout When they
arrived on the scene they discovered another car with
a Plainview license Notifying the police at Plainview
they found out that the license should have been on a
Dodge instead of a Chevrolet and they knew definitely
that this car had been stolen too A search of the car
revealed that it belonged to Miss Eva McDaniel of
Plainview and after further investigation and putting
two and two together they came to tho conclusion that
it was just a case of mistaken identity
So Doc Nance got his car back and Walker Jones
is now furnishing free fountain drinks for Doc and the
entire local police force whenever they drop in
Calling all dogs If your dog does not have a collar
bearing his 1943 dog license or you do not have in your
possession a license receipt in case the collar is missing
chances are that your dog will be drafted into the U S
Army for service The local dog catcher will make his
rounds soon so be ready with the license or be willing
to send Rover overseas
Mrs Jesse Hardwick says that if the person who
took her silverware will kindly return same promptly
no questions will be asked otherwise steps will be taken
to secure the stolen goods and punish the culprit
We saw William Kirk Hulsey turning loops in his
airplane several people working in their yards last
