world service."
Those eloquent words frame a
philosophy perfectly fitted to the
times we live in. Eliminate waste, I
minimize politics, stop wishful I
thinking—- this is necessary to
defense as airplanes and cannon.
Financially, o less than indust-
rially, America is basically the
most powerful of states, but it has
been weakened by waste. And all
our resources must be put to full
service if we are to survive the
revolution that today shakes the
world.
Program On Flags
Given At Liberty Club
The pledge of allegiance and
proper salutes to the flag were
contained in questionaires pre-
pared by Mrs. W. H. Lusk for
members of the Liberty Com-
munity Club, when they met Tues"
day in the home of Mrs- Lusk.
Other questions concerned the
proper placement of the U. S.
flag when displayed with flags of
other nations. "When a number of
flags are grouped, the United
States flag should be in the center
and all flags displayed at the
same height." said Mrs. Lusk.
A prize was awarded the mem-
ber having the most correct an-
swers in the quiz. During the
business session the club voted
to give one gold brick per member
to the Canyon museum.
Mrs. Lusk's refreshments car-
ried out the patriotic idea, they
were red punch, and white cakes
with blue napkins, completing the
color schemes.
Guests and members present
were Mrs. Paul O'brecht. Mrs. I.
E. King, Mrs. W. W. Williams,
Mrs. F- A. Metcalf. Mrs. N. W.
Glasscock, Mrs. W. C. Slater. Mrs.

THE ROAD TO SAFETY
Industrial News Review: Ad-
dressing the Graduate School of
Banking conducted by the Ameri-
can Bankers Association at
Rutgers University, Dr. Douglass
Southall Freeman, the distinguish-
ed American historian and editor,
nredieted an economic conflict
between the United States and the
totalitarian powers, rather than
an actual conflict of arms.
"Millions of our Americans
have been absurdly frightened
over what they regard as im-
minent war and certain invasion,"
said Dr. Freeman. "It is futile
perhaps to tell them that invasions
continues highly improbable; but
it is in order to tell them that the
economic war of continents will
begin as soon as the Germans can
integarte their conquests. . . .
"Ahead of us lies, perhaps, a
period during which our public
men will be tempted to be the
Gamelin of our industrial war-—■
t0 persist in optimism regardless
of reality. We must be prepared
to challtnge them with facts and
to call on them to present facts.
If we have a heart to demand the
truth of armament .... in clear
words for any man's understand-
ing, then we may be sure that the
mighty machine of our industry
will b egared t0 full production.
"This is as true of finance as of
armament. If American financiers
whospeak for the taxpayer, not for
the tax spender will develop a
technique to show the average
newspaper reader what armament
and government are costing him.
we shall escape much of the waste
that unually inheres in war when
thp 'lid is off.' ....
"America will survive—if her
sons will cease to think of her
as a Lady Bountiful and regard
he r as a mother for whom, from
the love they bear her, they are
willing tn sacrifice. The road of
individual self-discpline and self-
denial is the road to America's,
safty, to her happiness, and to her

YOU KNOW THE LEADER IN TRUCK SAIES

Truck buyers
are careful buy-
ers—they thor-
oughly analyze
and compare all
types of truck-
ing equipment
—they want to
make certain that they'll get the make and type of
truck best suited to their business requirements.
It is a significant fact that more truck users
choose Chevrolet than any other make of truck
. . . because Chevrolet trucks could not have
established their record of leadership in 1940 and
maintained it for six out of the last eight years
had it net been that Chevrolet trucks deliver
more dollar-for-dollar value than any other make.
All models and types of Chevrolet trucks may
still be purchased at today's low price levels, so it
would be wise to consider replacing some of your
trucking equipment with new Chevrolets now.
