OUR FOREFATHERS DID
WITHOUT THE OPA
It is quite common, now for apolo-
gists of the OPA and some of the other
hoards pulling1 mistakes and making gui-
nea pigs of the people and business men
in general, to say that our forefathers did
without this or that, or throw some othe1
kind of a curve in giving their excuses
ior the manner in which things are
being handled.
It is Hie error of weakness to make
such answers, of course, but when the.'
tell us our forefathers did without sugar
or gas, they also, by the same token
might say they did without the OPA, and
ihe many other alphabetical organizations
which are turning this nation into a vast
experimental monstrosity.
Recently a story that would do credit
to the town’s best moron asserted in
defending the OPA, that our forefathers
did without sugar until the thirteenth
century, without buttered bread until the
fifteenth century, without | otatoes unt'i
the sixteenth, without coffee, tea and
soap until the sevrnteeth. without gas,
matches and electricity until the nine-
teenth.’
Yes, and they did without antiseptics,
stiff shirts, radios, the modern ccmmude.
gas, telephones, department stores, dehy-
drants, modern sanitation, pasteurized
milk, ard even bath tubs.
Individual ingenuity that this country
has been able to enjoy, unhampered by
the OPA and other inhibiting alphabetical
creations from Washington, have given
grandpa and grandma all these later
blessings and conveniences. But the OPA
apologetic would put a staying hand on
all such and take us hack to the paleo-
lithic period, rather than forward to the
age of progressing men.
When one has to resort to the policy
of flareback and manifest ativistic tenden-
cies to justify his actior.3 in a modern, day
world, he is already progressing backward
and giving the world a case of devolution
instead of evolution and progress.
What this country is up against is to
rid our present day life of these planners
c-f a future with everything for all of us
coming out of Washington where cradle-
to-grave philosophy sits in the chair, and
turn the country back to men like our
forefathers who came up from days with,
l o bath tubs to days with store bought
teeth, and when wo can sit in our little
home and turn a dial and hear voices
speaking to us from all quarters of the
globe.
'Ihose things come about by the ability
to exercise individual effort ar.d the ne-
cessity that brings invention and release!
creative genius that an alphabetical or-
ganization would keep smothered for lack
of incentive through a “planned economy’’
from “higher ups.”
---oo-----
Before the Marines and soldiers get
through w'ith Bougainville those Japs will
Ihink it is Buggarville for them.
----oo---
If you ask the average man he thinks
that Cordell Hull is about the biggest man
around Washington right now.
Of course the poll to discover the worst
enemy of this country living within its
borders would naturally fall to Lewis. He
just naturally out-Judases Judas.
-00-
How comes that we think it takes cer
tain mer. in office all thp time, in order ts
win this war or carry it through to a suc-
cessful peace termination? Men have been
changed all along in the various alphabet-
ical organizations and the war seems to
go on being won. The politicians did no*
do it It would not at al! hurt the cause
nor the peace after the war to change men
ir. office cn a large scale. They do not.
have all the brains cornered If it takes
returning them all to Washington next
year to save this country, then we are on
hard lines for sure. If they have some-
thing else on which to base their case,
they had best trot it out as the old horse
of the war needing them is about ready
for the glue factory.

1Y EEP your cooky jar full of good-
ies. Then when the girls stop by
to plan the next U.S.O. affair or
people drop in for a casual call, you
will be well prepared. All you have
to do to make a real party out of the
occasion is to serve delicious, fra-
grant coffee and these coffee cookies.
But be sure the coffee is freshly-
made, strong and teeming with real
coffee flavor. *
These delicious cookies are espe-
cially interesting because of their
coffee flavor. They keep well, too,
and have the advantage of being
good either crisp or soft. Another
point in their favor is that they re-
quire no egg. They nre just the thing
to munch while enjoying a strong,
fragrant cup of coffee. And these
colfc-e cookies are large enough for
a Ni. ii to get hold of... an important
