Smith’s Pharmacy The Garden Standby question of how far government should go in putting ceilings *on high incomes and how far it should go in giving help to low income groups would probably be one of the chief points of contention in the presiden tial election. It is undoubtedly the one domestic issue which .^ill, deter mine the kind of a country-we will have in the future. But with the war overshadowing all other issues at the present time, there is little chance that the election of l®44 will be a satisfactory test of the attitude of the people on this subject. The election of 1944 will again be one based on an emergency—an elec tion to determine who is best fitted to finish winning the war, to help build the framework for lasting peace, and to cope with. the prob lems of putting our economy back into peace-time working order.

Private Copeland is on duty in Brazil. 1 Editor, The Chronicle: I have been receiving the home town paper for the past twelve months and it is a lot of comfort to get the local news here where I am. Sometimes I get four to six popies at once due to the mail finding its way here, and I want to thank you for finding it to me. I enjoy reading it and I’m sure every boy in the ser vice from Clinton feels the same. It lets you know all the news you can’t get in a letter. ( I hope it won’t be long before we can all be back home with the folks. But until it is all over we will be doing our part, and I’m sure each
