25 YEARS IN THE PANHANDLE
This week completes a quarter of a cen-
tury of residence in the Panhandle of Tex-
as for The Herald editor. Twenty-five
years ago this week The Herald editor
came to the Panhandle and began work
for the Amarillo Daily News and its af-
ternoon newspaper, The Daily Panhandle.
The Panhandle is a changed country.
Today TJorger and Pampa are larger than
Amarillo was in 1918. There was no nat-
ural gas distributed in the dozens of ci-
ties of the Panhandle. Only two or three
cities had any paving.
Few cities had waterworks systems. In
the villages of the Panhandle windmills
were greatly in evidence. Not near all the
communities even had electricity. There
were no paved highways. Our oil fields
were yet to be developed.
Combine wheat farming had just be-
gun, but it wag several years before com-
bines displaced the threshing machine
Crews.
It’s a changed country for the newspa-
pers. They are far better than they were
25 years* ago, despite the fact that the Pan-
handle had many excellent newspaper edi-
tors. Many newspapers were then set en-
tirely by hand.
Although one can look back with rever-
ence on the Panhandle of 25 years ago, we
prefer this section in 1948 with the splen-
did development that has taken place in a
quarter of a century.
TAKING PROFIT OUT OF WAR *
Do you remember the great campaign
of the American Legion to take the profit
out of war? Do you remember how sena-
tors and congressmen made speeches for
home consumption about how there would
be another war with profit for any one ?
For many years our former congress-
man, Judge Marvin Jones, talked about'
conscription of money as well as manpow-
er in case we should have another war.
Few7 sane persons believe that the Amer-
ican Legion and any other of the high
minded persons have achieved their com-
mendable goal in World War II.
Expenses have run several tmes more
than the last World War. Of course, you
will say that we are expending billions for
airplanes in this war compared with a «Iew
millions 25 years ago.
One of the great arguments of the fu-
ture will be about why the profit was not
taken out of World War II. President
Roosevelt could have gone a long way to-
ward taking the profit out of war if he had
frozen everything as it was on Pearl Har-
bor Day in December, 1941.
Excessive costs in this war are going to
affect our peace economy."It is doubtful if
the economy of 1919 and 1920 can be
compared with what is going to face us in
the two years after the close of World
War II.
BOMBING OF CITIES
Hitler and Mussolini set the pattern for
the destruction of cities in World War II.
As they chose to destroy landmarks in the
days when they had air superiorty, they
have no complaint to offer for whatever
punishment the United Nations can give
Italy and Germany today.
Today the United States is fighting for
its ideals and If enemy property must be
destroyed to win the war, there should be
no hesitation. Should the enemy be able
to bomb Panhandle and destroy our schools
and churches, their loss would not be re-
garded as important as the possible loss
of our freedom and the American way of
life.
If we have the rights of free education
and worship of God as we please, schools
and churches can be built again. But our
lost freedom can be regained only at a
still greater sacrifice.
■ An interesting comment on city bomb-
ing was made by Novedades, a leading-
newspaper at Mexico City, when it pointed
out that it was the Italians and not the Al-
lies who made Rome a military objective.
“Age and beauty of certain cultural mon-
uments give them a merited importance,”
it said, “but the risk of destroying such
monuments—however, lovely, however ho-
ly they may be, is as nothing compared to
the danger that religion and culture them-
selves may be destroyed . . .
“Mankind would have come to a low
state indeed if hallowed stones wer con-
sidered more enduring than the free devel-
opment of the human spirit, or their de-
struction more to be lamented than the de-
struction of human life.”

GRAHAMS GRO, MKT., head-
quarters for good foods, is pre-
pared to shoot the works for this
week-end. In other words, the
store is full of some mighty fine
meats, fish and vegetables. For
the first time in weeks we have
a lot of fish, fillet of Haddock,
perch and Whiting in 'the fresh
fish; smoked herring and smoked
halibut also. That selection of fish
should give you a desirable
change of diet for these burning
hot August days. Also, Grahams
has plenty of fresh meats. oYu
know this beef situation has been
on and off, so ta speak, with some
beef part of the time and about
out at other times. And for you
folks that have been craving ba-
nanas, just come around. We have
plenty of delicious bananas now.
Grahams has another good supply
of fryers and hens. Our fryers
and hens ring the bell these hot
days; order your fryers for Sun-
day now. Fresh fruits and vege-
tables; everything we can buy
from wholesale houses. Say, folks,
we have lots of coffee. Since ra-
tioning went off of coffee, you
haven’t been buying as much as
you did. Maxwell House, Chase &
Sanborn and many other good
brands of coffee. It should give
you a lot of satisfaction to trade
with a store that has such good
refrigeration as Grahams; frozen
lockers to keep the fish in perfect
condition. All our meats, fish, but-
ter and perishables are kept in
as good refrigeration as they can
be with our modern equipment.
Of course, theer are hundreds of
unrationed articles at Grahams;
you can get a lot of good eating
at Grahams without spending a
single ration point. We always
appreciate your patronage; you
have helped us build a fine store
for Panhandle and want to war-
rant your continued trade. And
after urging you to Buy War
Bends and Stamps, we are sign-
ing off for this week. GRAHAMS

GRAHAM WANTS PEACE
WON AS WELL AS WAR
Editor the Herald:
You are to be commended for
the -two splendid editorials in last
week’s Herald. That is the lan-
guage a serviceman likes to read.
It helps his morale to learn that
the home front has influential
tnen to combat the propaganda
that is sowed by sentimentalists
mies by too harsh peace terms,
and so they want to leave the en-
emy in position to recover quick-
ly and start another war in a few
years.
This is the most expensive war
in men and materials that has
ever been fought, but it’s cost
will quadruple if we lose the
peace settlement as we did be-
fore.
The Italians deserve punish-
ment for their unwarranted at-

Farmers, you have placed orders for coal and you must
haul your coal without delay. Our bins are full and
we are being forced io cancel further cars unless you
haul your coal today and Saturday.
The government urges early movement.of coal so as
to take off the load this fall and winter. Some of our
customers may have trouble getting coal later unless
they haul coal now.
Your cooperation will be appreciated. Handling coal
at the best is a difficult job and we prefer that you
take if from the car whenever possible.

Their ways didn’t change until
bombs fell in their back yard, and
they should see a few more fall.
In the last war ' we were left
holding the bag for war debts and
we will be left again this time
unless we clamp down and de-
mand remuneration in bases. Af-
ter all they can’ say they don’t
have the land.
There must be an end to this
war and it must end as an Allied
Victory, and this time America
must win the peace. The only
peace that will come from this
war will result from very rigid
peace terms.
If any sentiment is to enter the
peace terms in this war, it must
be directed to the dead and liv-
ing victims of Japan, Germany
and Italy.
And God grant that a nation
will fight for proper settlement
in the Armistice with the same
courage and honest convictions
they have so nobly displayed in
this war.
It will shine as a glorious tri-
bute to the veterans of 1917 and
1941 to 194?.
