The War We Are
Losing
BY PAUL G. HERVEY
In the air, on the (tea. and on
the production line we hear of
the grout victories we are win-
ning. Soon we hope that these
will rise into a cresendo with
land victories to bring an early
end to the war. But we should
also realize that for the approx-
imately 5 American soldiers kill-
ed and the 12 wounded each
hour around the clock at the pres-
ent there will probably be twen-
ty-five killed and sixty wounded
in great battles which must
come before complete victory.
Though it will certainly be cost-
ly, we know that we shull win
in the military strung!-* witn the
Axis powers.
There is another fight, per-
haps as important as our fight
with the Germans and the Japs,
which we are losing. This light
is the one against immorality, in-
justice, selfishness and greed in
our relationships with one anoth
er here at home.
Evidence piles upon evid( m-e
that scale of values of the Amer-
ican people is shifting toward
lower Things. American ideals arc ■
undergoing wide changes and
they are not changes for the bet
ter. Not many years ago the most
valu'.d thing!' in the lues m 1
most people were those funda-
mental virtues of honesty, jus-
tice, decency, morality, unselfish-
ness, and a fervid belief in the
practice of democracy. Now we
become more and more devoted
t* the practice of “get all you
can by any means you can.” We
arc selling our souls for insignif-
icant small sums of money, tiny
hits of prestige or power, little
pieces of material wealth.
Not many years ngc a funda-
mental preciept instilled into most
youngsters in the family was
“Thou shalt not steal.” In prac- 1
tice today is the idea, “Don’t get;
caught stealing.” By demon-
stration before young people we
say, “Pad your expense account,
high pressure your congressmen,
put the heat on the legislature,
organize and combine to get
power enough to get what you i
want regardless of the affect up-
on the rest of the nation, play I
politics, falsify reports, in gener-
al, do anything to advance your j
own material gain.” We seem to I
become a nation of harpies prey- J
ing upon and cheating each other j
for all we are worth.
Divorce rates reach new reo-
ords. Seventy-two suits for di-
vorce, a record, were filed in
Dallas in a single day. The mo-
rals of the youth of our nation
decline to level not previously
reached. Juvenile delinquency
has suddenly become a major
menace to the continued strength
of America. Labor union lead-
ers say, “we are going to get
ours regardless of what happens
to the remainder of the people.”
Congressmen play politics and
quibble over insignificant issues
while they bungle t he major:
problems for which lives are sac-
rificed every minute.
But we can't make a “goat” j
of Congress and blame it all on
that body. A representative group
of men chosen from a mass of
people ready and willing to cheat
their neighbors if the opportu-1
nity offers, or people constantly
on the lookout for ways and
means of getting more than a
Leslie-Chesnut
Wedding Solemnized
March 23
The marriage of Miss Mary
■Jo Chesnut, daughter of H. It.
Chesnut and Mrs. Roberta Jones
Chesnut, to Captain Gene John-
son Leslie, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Eugene C. Leslie of Bailey, Tex-
as, was solemnized at 2 o’clock
Thursday afternoon in the First
Presbyterian Church. Kev. W. W.
Alverson read the double ring
ceremony in the presence of
close relatives. Mrs. Travis Ton-
ay, pianist, presented the tra-
ditional wedding music.
The altar was simply decorat-
ed with baskets of gladioli and
spiraea.
The bride wore an aqua, lace-
trimmed, crepe dress and a white
hat with matching accessories.
Her corsage was of gardenias.
Mrs. A. R. Woodson of Con-
roe was her niece’s only atten
dant. She wore dusty rose with
brown accessories, and a corsage
of gardenias. Captain L. Z
Riegle of Camp Maxey attended
the groom as best man.
Following the ceremony, a
small reception was held at the
home of the bride. Miss Wanda
Simmons presided at the three
tier wedding oake, and Miss Gene
Chandler served punch. Assist
ing in the dining room were Mrs.
L. E. DeVaney and Miss Jim
Scott. Mrs. Jefle Smiddy had
charge of the register.
As the couple left for a short
wedding trip to New Orleans,
La., Mrs. Leslie was wearing a
grey pin striped flannel suit,
white net blouse and navy acces-
sories. Following their wedding
trip, Captain anti Mrs. Leslie will
report to Miami, Fla., for rea»:
signment.
The bride is a graduate of
Cooper High School and attend-
ed East Texas State Teachers
College. The groom attended
Bailey High School, East Texas
State Teachers College and A. &
M. College. He has just return-
ed home after spending a year
in India and China, and has been
awarded the Distinguished Flying
Cross and the Air Medal with
Oak Leaf Cluster. He has com-
uleted 8(5 oom.bat missions and
.‘140 combat hours.
Out of town guests here for
the wedding included the groom’s
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene
C. Leslie, Mrs. Roy Leslie and
Nancy Lou Leslie of Bailey; Mrs.
I). D. Clark of Ector; Mr. and
Mrs. L. T. McMillan of Denison;
Mrs. A. R. Woodson, Jr., of Con-
roe and Mrs. Jerle Smiddy of
Cameron, La.
fair share of everything possible
cannot be much different from the
group from which they are chos-
en. So if we are realistic and
face the music, instead of curs-
ing Congress for politics and
bungling, we might admit that
Congress is just a mirror which
reflects the spirit and character
of the remainder of us Ameri-
cans. We rant, at the politicians,
big or little, who get all they
can for themselves, then turn
right around and swear falsely

Cardens of Delta county have
been delayed because of so much
rain. You still have time to plant
English peas, potatoes, or any
other vegetable.
In 1948 there were approxi-
mately 1,(500 gardens grown in
Delta county. This year we want
to increase the number of gar-
dens and also increase the qual-
ity over the ones grown last
year. Many people learned from
experience last year and can do
a much better job this year.
Since the ground is so cold
and wet, it is recommended for
best results to chemically treat
your seed for the best stand and
quick growth. You can get the
material to treat your seed at
most any seed store or place that
sells garden seed. Be sure and
look on the container to see that
you get the right kind and use ac-
cording to directions on the pack
age.
Plant Irish potatoes as soon as
possible. Certified seed potatoes
are best for planting, hut if they
are not available those selected
should be soaked for thirty min-
utes in a solution of one ounce
of corrosive sublimate dissolved
in eight gallons of water, then
remove and spread out to dry.
Cultivate often during the grow-
ing period. When the plants are
8 to 10 inches tall, work the soil
toward them, pulling it up into
a rounded bed of loose earth on
both sides of the row, Some va-
rieties develop near the top of
the ground and need the mound
of dirt to keep them from being
exposed to the hot sun.
During the stage of develop-
ment, vegetables need more wa-
ter and it may be Accessary to
do a little watering for best re-
sulst.

Dealer, Cooper
to got a little more sugar or
more gasoline than can *>e al-
lotted to everyone. Too few are
still carrying the torch of jus-
tice, fairness, virtue, and hon-
or. Too few practice democracy
in their daily lives. Tot) few still
value the truth above a few dol-
lars gain. Too few prefer their
own integrity of character to
gain of material wealth, pres-
tige, or power.
Our nation is sick with crime,
graft, divorce, black markets, im-
morality. We deny social respon-
sibility. We fail to exercise moral
self control. We ignore funda-
mental spiritual truths and val-
ues. Unless we change these
things, some future historian will
describe “The Decline and Fall
of the American Democracy.”
There is only one way to rem-
edy the situation. Overthrowing;
one administration and setting
Up another will not help. Re-!
placing our congressman won’t
solve the problem. Passing dif-
ferent laws will not make Amer-
icans a better people. Spending
more money for schools, churches,
etc., fails to get to the bottom of
the problem.
The one thing and the only
thing to turn this trend of de-
cay is for you and me and every
other American, each single in-
dividual of us, to look squarely
into our lives, seek out the
(rouble, and banish these weak-
nesses. Americans ciannot be
great because they live in Amer-
ica. But. America will be great
and strong only if it is composed
of great and strong individuals.
Let’s ask ourselves these ques-
tions: Am I making a practical
application of the principles of
democracy in all the little acits of
my daily life? Do I refuse any-
thing more than my fair share?
Is my honor uncompromised and
unsullied by false statements
and dubious dealing? Am I help-
ing make America strong by ac-
cepting my share of the moral
and social responsibility? Can I
be unselfish and place the wel-
fare of others ahead of my own
welfare when there is a conflicit?
Your daily life may be com-
parod to a building block, one of
the 140 million which go into
the structure of our nation
every day. If you put in good
strong, sound stone blocks, the
future of our nation is secure.
R|ut if the block you put in is
a worm eaten and decaying piece
of wood, the structure becomes
weak. If there arc very many of
such blocks, the structure will
collapse. So let’s each of us ask
ourselves, "What am I contribut-
ing each day to make America
the kind of nation it ought to
be?”
