EDUCATION INCLUDES
HEALTH.
There was a time in the history
of the United States when the
government did not concern it-
self with the education of chil-
dren.
That era has passed with gen-
eral acceptance of the idea thati
it is the duty of government to
provide educational opportuniti-
es for its youth. It should he
noted, however, that most of the
attention of school officials is de-
voted to the training of the mind
of the pupil and that little atten-
tion is given to the development
of a sound physical body.
Apparently, we are in an era
when people do not believe that
it is the duty of government to
safeguard the health of its young
people. In future years, the peo-
ple of this country will be amaz-
ed at our lack of concern over
the health of children.
Just as we today accept the
duty of educating children, thru
the training of their minds, the
people of the new day will ac-
cept the duty of -giving every
child a fair start in life by de-
veloping good health and a sound
physical body.

PUNY PARAGRAPHS.
Memory works wonders with I
the truth.
The parking along Main Street
is much improved.
An honest laborer, when paid
for work, gives himself to his
work.
This would be a great world if
everybody could have their own
way.
The revolver made men equal
and the microphone makes ora-
tors equal.
Work is plentiful right at this
time and laborers scarce. If one
wants a job now, they can get it.
What about the young lady
who expects results to come with
the harvest moon?
Intelligence tells us that things
change and wisdom indicates
that it is for the better.
Japan’s policies may be “im-
mutable” but there is a way to
change the Japanese mind.
It begins to look like the Am-
erican minority thinks it has the
right to rifle the nation.
Religion would have more con-
verts if it didn’t interfere until
the way some people live.
An expert is a man who writes
for a newspaper, published in a
town where he is not known.
Businesses seldom expand by
magic; they usually grow because
somebody with brains is working.
The value of advertising de-
pends upon the people who read
it; they can’t read it if they don’t
see it.
The man in trouble is not com-
forted by the thought that any
of his friends can tell him how
to forget it.
Speaking of thoughtfulness,
what about the British bombing
Berlin on the anniversary of the
first big air raid upon London
The business of McGregor is
your business; make it a practice
to buy what you want from local
merchants whenever possible.
This is a good time for the au-
tomobile drivers of McGregor to
resolve to be careful when driv-
ing on our streets. A thoughtful
driver may save a child’s life.
All progress, everywhere, has
resulted from the victory of un-
selfishness over greed; this ex-
plains the howl that rises over
most legislation.
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY j
IGNORED.
What we can’t understand]
about this gasoline shortage and]
the discussion about available
tank cars on the railroads, is why
the men who sell gasoline and
the men who sell transporation
can’t get together and use the:
tank cars without waiting upon i
a governmental Investigation, j
If the tank cars are available,]
and if they can haul the gasoline
that the Eastern States need, the
railway magnates and the gaso-
line companies can proceed with]
business and get the gas where j
it can be used.
Here it seems to us is a perfect-
ly good business proposition go-
ing to waste, with big business
men and so-called private initia-
tive asleep. There is ample gas-
oline in the producing States and
the railroad people say there are
ample tank cars. Certainly, no
one disputes that there are am-
ple prospective purhasers for full
gasoline supplies.

A PECULIAR DUCK!
Colonel Lindbergh warns the
United States that Great Britain
may turn against us and be fight-
ing us before the world situation
is peaceful!
The oceanic flier hasn’t seen
fit to warn us of Germany, al-
though Hitler lias stifled small
nations and ruthlessly suppress-
ed the rights of their people.
Moreover, the Nazis have system-
atically robbed every land they
have occupied.
Perhaps, the colonel is not
convinced that the Nazi system
is evil and believes that it might
be a good tonic for the United
States. It is worth noting that
while he denounces his own
country and the British, Mr.
Lindbergh has no word of criti-
cism for the Nazis.
He is a peculiar duck, to say
the least.

1,854 PLANES IN AUGUST.
The production of military air-
craft in August was up to 1,854
or 394 more than in July.
This is .encouraging but it
merely represents a good start of
the 50,000-a-year goal. Just the
same, when new plants begin to
produce planes the figures will
move up rapidly.
Less than two thousand planes'
a month is no great miracle but
it is a sign of what will be done
in the future. After all, the
United States is just getting its
mass-production program under
way and American industry will
demonstrate its superiority be-
t5Ni sem odnean . shrdluunn
fore the fighting in the air comes
to an end.

The smart man who loafs will
accomplish less than the dullard
who plugs at his task. This ac-
counts for the relative standing
of certain people.
The farmers are being urged to
increase their production of food-
stuffs upon the theory that when
the shooting ends the people of
the world will have to eat.
When German torpedoes sink
American ships, upon the high
seas, where they have a right to
be, the United States is trying
to get into war—according to
some patriots.
