C., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1941 Back To School It’s the hard truth for boys and girls, but vacation is over and dur ing this month more than thirty mil lion children will flock back to the public schools, besides the great num ber who will go to church and pri vate schools of all kinds. These thirty million promising youngsters are soon to take the places of as many oldsters in a few years. This means that the future of the United States of America lies largely in the hands of these boys and girls. It is there fore of the highest importance to give attention'to what they are taught in school and to the men and women responsible for their training. It is fortunate that the fxmdamental vir tues of honesty, industry and per sonal good character are still incul- by man . . . Never forget”^ that the holiest right in this world is the right to own land . . . and the holiest sacrifice the blood one spills to get this land.” That philosophy expressed by the German ruler in “Mein Kampf,” plunged Europe into war two years ago. “I have put on my old soldier’s coat, and I will not take it oft until we achieve victory . . . November of 1918 shall never be repeated in the history of Ger many.” It was in Berlin’s opera house that the Fuehrer spoke those historic words as his hearers burst into ap- cause airplanes, tanks, guns, etc., are needed by America to defend its ^freedom, and are made from the same raw materials as washing ma chines, automobiles and similar ar ticles. The argument is that by mak ing it more difficult for people to purchase such consumer goods, less of them will be sold. As a result, the 'materials and labor that would be used to produce them can be divert ed to urgent defense production. There is this other added factor to .be considered — doing without those {articles will create a demand for theni when the defense program is over. In that way fac^ries will be I given something to manufacture when they stop making armaments and jobs will 1m protected. Sound credit has been a far more important factor in the commercial ahd geographical develojKnent of this nation than most of lu realize. And it will continue to be a vital pro gressive if the whee^ of business are to be kept moving. The puTQpses of the board’s order are worthwhile if they work. Though they may be expected to cause in convenience, they will be accepted by the public which is willing to do its bit for the defense program. The federal government is ^calling upon the public to adopt an opposite practice to that which it has been pur suing for the past eight years. We have been incessantly told to buy, to is done spend and spend to swell the nation al income and ther^y increase the nation’s tax revenue. The- govern ment is borrowing and spending and wasting for every conceivable pro ject, with the sky as the limit. Now, still spending in-the-usual-way — it TALKS ABOUT HEALTH Foot Caafort fer Heoewlvaa Housewives who complain of being tired most of the time will often find that the reason is not so mu(A the burden of the work they have aceom POLITICAL NOTICE The second Democratic primary will be held on Tuesday, Septembw 16, 1941, and the same*, managers wpl serve as In die first primary.
