DO NOT GET EXCITED
Americans should not get excited about
the war in Europe. It is not necessary for
the United States to become involved in
the European war.
Already it is evident that this war is not
1 going to solve European problems. The
same l|ate which has been there hund-
reds of years will still be there regardless
of which side wins out.
General opinion is that neither side can
win a decisive victory. So why should the
United States be misled by propaganda
and take a hand in European affairs?
The United States was disillusioned
after the World War. It was soon learned
at the peace conference that justice was
not the goal—humiliation and revenge
were desired.
Neither Germany nor the Allies can win
in Europe. Just let them fight until they
are ready to stop and solve their own
problems. There is no reason why the
United States should get excited ever
European family troubles.
UNITED STATES NAVY BAND
Mrs. White Elected
President at Meeting
The United States Navy Band will be at
the -Amarillo auditorium both afternoon
and night Wednesday, Nov. 1.
So far afe we know, this is the first time
that the regular navy band hfcs played in
the Panhandle of Texas.
Persons interested in good music—and
there are many in Carbon county—should
support the Amarillo Tri-State Fair Assoc-
iation in this civic afffir, which is of re-
gional importance.
Panhandle Press
Curry County Times: The
Clovis city commission last week
launched a paving program for
Clovis that will mean in the
neighborhood of 100 blocks of
additional paved streets if the
program as outlined is finally
approved by the property owners.
This will mean about ten miles
of new paved streets. The pro-
gram was launched as a WPA
project in which property owners
will get decidedly the cheapest
paving that has ever been avail-
able, here. The plan has a two-
fold purpose •— property owners
will get the improvements at a
nominal fig-lire and a big work
program will be provided for
those who will most need em-
ployment during the winter and
spring months. It is figured that
it will take about a year to com-
plete the building program.

Donley County Leader: The
most expensive ‘scenery’ in show-
ing the “Tobacco Road” is said
to be in getting five tons of
dirt on the stage for a proper
setting. When the troupe ‘reaches
the- Panhandle, all they’ll have
to do is to leave the door open
over night. And we’ll guarantee
that the dirt will be as clean
as the show. s

Memphis Democrat: One hund-
red vears ago the first camera
hug 'in the IT. S. bit . . and
since then it has kept on biting
until today the candid-camera
business is one of the largest in-
dustries in America, as well as
the rest of the world. Preserva-
tion of memories is probably the
main reason for this great in-
'crease in business. But maybe
there is another reason, too, us-
ing- the thought of a famous poet
—“to see ourselves as others see
us”.

Miami Chief; Mother: Darling,
you were awfully late last night.
I’m afraid I’m old-fashioned, hut
I should like to know where you
go. Sally: Certainly, Mummy. I
dined with—Oh, well you don’t
know him, and we went to several
places I don’t suppose you’ve
been to. and finished at a queer
little club—I forgot its name. But
it’s all right, isn’t it Mummy?
Mother: Of course, darling. It’s
onlv that I just like to know.
