5y Joe Marsh
Judge Cunningham and l were I
talking about it this evening, sit- I
ting on the front porch and having I
a sociable beer together.
We agreed that the way this A
town went all out to collect scrap
was a pretty good illustration of
how Democracy works. No need to ‘
crack a whip . . . no need to pass a I
law . . . just self-determined folks I
was the day the town had agreed wo - -

everything—and collect scrap for '
Uncle Sam. is a: t |
Yes sir, the drugstore, the cor-
ner garage, Sam Abernethy’s gen-
eral store every place in town
except the post office ——closed up
tight today from 10 to 5.
I MISSED getting my hair cut this
morning on account of the scrap
collection.
When I climbed into the barber
chair, Ray says to me:
“Sorry, Joe. ain’t got time for
you today. We’re closing up this
morning at ten.”
And then I remembered. This
Because from where I sit, that’s
what we’re fighting for—the right; 1
to work together—of our own ac- I
cord. To do the job because we
want to, not because somebody
tells us to. And when the job’s
done, to relax as we see fit.
And the Judge agreed. He point-
ed out that one of the things that
helps folks get together is just
what we were doin’ now.
Q!
And you ought to see the result
piled up in front of the fire house.
One hundred and fifty tons of
metal that had been lying around
in attics, cellars and back yards
of our town since Charlie Jenkins’
great-grandfather joined up with
the Texas Rangers.
That’s almost 200 lbs. of metal
f or every man, woman and child in
our town. Just shows you—when
American citizens go out to do a.
job for Uncle Sam they do it right.
V
It’s great, after a good day’s
work, to be able to have a chat and
a glass of beer if you want to.

DANGER IN APATHY OF VOTERS.
The fact that only one—third of the voters of the state
and Mason County voted in the primary elections brings.
the threat of minority representation for the general elec-
tion unless the people stir out of their hibernation and take
note of the dangers ahead to vote, and that intelligently.
If they are critical of what is going on in Congress and
in the administration of affairs which touch their personal
lives in both national and state legislation, perhaps some
changes here and there would check some of the abuses and
wastes and chart some change for better in the war effort.
The voters have all received a little booklet which ex-
plains the several issues to be voted on pertaining to state
affairs, and the least they can do is to read and save this
review, as well as study the effects further in order to vote
intelligently on laws which concern every citizen personally
The socalled forty—mill, passed several times, should bcl
voted so strongly that no future legislature will dare to
dodge the issue again; it means the holding down of state:

war lasts, and every prospect is being squeezed.
One cannot view the war effort and its huge spending
far beyond present resources of the nation without won-
dering why the people are so apathetic and neglectful of
their voting duty as well as their civic duties in all the
home affairs which are part of all-out effort to win the war 1
sooner and save good American lives.
After two months of dry weather the first fall rains
have come to cheer the logger, the hunter and the fisher-
man—-to clear the worst fire danger, and avert the threat
of closing the woods for the hunting season.
FORTY FRONTS
How the world is widening for Americans! Now it is
the Gold Coast, on the western shores of Africa, according
to an announcement from London, which is seeing our avi-
ators. This brings to 40 the total of American army and
navy bases outside the continental United States. These
range from Iceland to East and West Africa, from Ireland
to New Guinea and from the Aleutian islands to New.Zea-
There is a great deal of talk at present about opening
up a “second front.” Americans are now fighting on. nearly
all these 40 fronts. Perhaps the trouble with our war effort
at the present time lies in the fact that our high command
has divided our forces to cover all these fronts, so that we
h over our enemies
in any one spot. This is keeping us on the defensive.
Americans used to be accused of provincialism. Our
own- territory was so large that we had some reason for not
interesting ourselves greatly in the world outside. Those
days are over. With boys from millions of American
‘homes scattered over 40 fronts, there is now no part of
ithe world which does not concern the United States—Ta-
‘coma News-Tribune.
SLOW DOWN, YOU SINNERS.
In the interest of preserving tires and saving gas the
speed limit on driving the nation over has been reduced to
35 miles an hour, Governor Langlie having so ordered in
this state with instruction to the highway patrol to watch
traffic closely and arrest all violators. After all, the ma-
jority of drivers have already slowed down their pace and
it is discouraging as well as dangerous to have the speed-
ers rolling by; these violators will be checked up and may
lose their licenses as well as the privilege of buying new
.tires or retreads, if and when there are any for the public.
If everybody slows down to uniform speed, and there are
no exceptions, there should be fewer accidents on the roads.
I HONESTY IN POLITICS
Campaign days are here again and the political pot is
boiling. But your average candidate shies from the appel-
3tion of “politician.” Why, After all, what’s so bad about
that? Every candidate who regards his mission seriously,
I iin helpfulness of purpose, is in reality an honest politician.
lIf we had no
politics we would have no political initiative,
no volunteers for public service, nobody to assume the
3' leadership of public life. The real trouble with the average
American who is too busy to worry about the practical de-
and his wonder why bet-
lter men are not elected. The candidate who feels the hon-
, lest urge to serve is a worth-while, public-spirited citizen.
And it is up to the voters to measure his merits and see
if he fits into the office.———Bremert0n Searchlight.
JUVENILE INFLATION
flation that is resulting from the distorted economic condi-
tions produced by the war. No, we are not referring to'
the inflation of our greenbacks, which aren’t buying as
much dry goods and grub as they did in the Depression
Thirties.
We’re talking about the inflation of the ideas of- our
'high school youngsters, who are getting summer jobs
inow with bigger pay than their grandpas earned after a
lifetime of hard work. Everywhere you go, you hear par-i
ents say—“Our boy Bud is drawing a movie-star salary
lnow working in the shipyard; not working extra hard
either.”
Sure we know this situation is only temporary, like
'the measles. But it’s going to be tough on Bud when thei
itemperature drops after this war-time rash clears lip—’3
