by the editor
The Need for Brotherlinesg
We1 start out this column by
saying: that we have lived a few
years and had
many varied
experiences in
days of plenty
and days of
not so plenti-
ful as regards
the human
race, but we
are o f the
conf irmed
opinion that
“ ' the days of
life as between man and man in
developing of brot'herliness, are
Ifostered better when we are not
so plentiful. We say this from
actual contact with those of the
average man. In days when he
can gat jobs easy and at a I
large salary, comparatively, the
milk of human kindness runs
low and lie is encouraged in the
habit of demanding more like
the servant who was himself for.
given but whan he got in the
position to demand more1 he did
so.
We all know what became of
that servant in the day of reck-
oning later on and the same rule
will apply to those among us
who demand so much when they
think they have the opportunity
to make their demands good.
Wa are not arguing that pov-
erty is the need of all the race,
we are speaking relatively. Ease
of life makes for the weaker
race, and richness in spending
money tends to make us less
virile and more on the sido of
f.n independence which does not
take on the fact of our inter-
dependence.
Very few people hava the
grace to he trusted with much of
the world's goods and be able
to maintain the poise and for-
bearance and human kindness
which characterizes them when
they arc less well off in the
world’s goods.
(Money is not the root of all
evil as soma quote, but the quo-
tation is “the LOVE of money is
the root of all evil.1’
And when we get to loving
money so much that we can’t
liva peacefully with all men,
stay on our jobs and turn out
the goods the world needs, but
will, at a slight whim, strike on
the job, or in some other fash
ion, quit our tasks for some
place with what We think carr
place for what we think ear-
lettting the love of money take
us off our feet.
The love of money is back of
all thesa strikes today. It may
ho that some group is spending
a lot of money to get our work-
ers ill at pa.se or in other ways
disturb us economically, in or
der to bring about a sinister de-
sire, hut, after all. it is the love
of money that is doing it.
Not a man among us today
but that is getting more money
in salaries than he did five
years ago, still never have we
seen him so unrestful and hard
t0 get along with on a job, or
more exacting in his pay de-
mands.
The disturber in the form of
the little grimlin called love of
money is busy today as he has
not been in many days, and with
the flarebaek of a world war,
we are in for plenty of trouble
if we forget the spirit of bro-
therliness and go on a money
seeking expedition regardless of
th j consequences.
Life is not in things, but in
the spirit that dwells within. The
Great Teacher said the “light of
the body is the eye, and if the
eyo bo pure the whole body shall
be full of light.” Get the dollar
mark out of_our eyes and we can
see our brothel the more eas-
ily.

the summer having beien lifted

tinue to us0 water as freely as
in the summer months. Read-

proximately 150 gallons of water
per capita a d^y, used in excess
of 356,604,400 gallons i 10m May

the period in which the summer
rates prevailed.
The summer rate is figured
as follows. $1 for the first 1000
gallons; 16 cents per thousand
for _t'ne next 21000 gallons, and
10 cents per thousand for all
above 3000 gallons.
The winter raite is based on
$1 for the first 1000 gallon*,
25 cents per thousand for the
next 4000. 20 cents for the
next SOWO; 17 1-2 cents for the
next 1001,000, and 12 1-2' cents
per thousand for all in excess of

Au»Lali« ranks second to the
c'niwse varieties, but the imme-
diate effect of point-free pur-
chases may he the exhaus- ion of
retailers’ stocks for a short
period, according to John H.
Krnft, president of the Kraft
Cheese Company.
Availability to civilians of
cheddar or American cheese
during the w-ar has been re-
stricted by the government sec-
aside, which has averaged about
50 per cent of total production,
Sir. Kraft pointed out, while
the supply of varieties other
than cheddar has been limited
bv a government order holding
production of these types to
1942 levels.
"Even with removal of these
l'esuictions, however, it still will
require several weeks tor the
industry to switch ,he bulk ol
its production into normal
trade channels,” he said. "After
a month or so, the abundance
amt variety On dealers’ cheese
stocks should increase gradually
but steadily. The industry is
already curing cheese for the
firs, time since 1941, but it
probably will take from six
months to a year for sharp,
aged cheese to reach the mar-
ket in any reasonable quantity.
"Within the next few years,
cheese should win an increas-
ingly larger place in the na-
tional diet as a highly concen-
trated proem food. The war
has increased public appreciation
of the food values of cheese,
and the industry is preparing to
market its products in new and
attractive forms, as well as
bring back familiar varieties as
rapidly as possible,” Mr. Krait
commented, calling attention to
the fact that U. S. cheese pro-
duction has reached new high
levels in the war years.
The speed with which many
varieties of cheese reappear for
reitail sale, as well as the in-
ner porkible.

erintendent B. McDaniel to' oon-
