knots were tied and games play

has been better recently.
On March 27-28 the Foundation
will present a program in Joanna.
Since this is fot the benefit of the
scouts, they will be selling tickets.
On the same two days, March 27-28,
the scouts not needed for the pro
gram will enjoy a camping trip.
In the near future a chicken stew
will be sponsored by Troop 75. If
this sells well a chicken barbecue
will probably be held. Also if Jo
anna has a baseball club this year
scouts will again have charge of
the concession stand. The proceeds
from these events will go intq the
troop treasury which pays for
scout equipment and camping trips.

will be, and already are, many re
auctions in food and other prices. A
stiff buying resistance by the public
will solve this likelihood of soaring,
unjustified prices. The consumer is
showing considerable Resistance to
slavement of peoples, the destruction
of the most fundamental human lib
erties we are now witnessing, the
degradation of the individual — all
have followed. History repeats itself
over and over, human nature is
high prices. "This re a healthy sign t about the same everywhere. And

An Eye-Sore Street
The section of West Carolina ave
nue adjoining the C. N. & L. railway
is in bad condition and years ago
should have been improved. It is
ungraded, rough and bumpy, poorly
drained, and in continued rainy
weather almost impassable. Recent
ly, especially in the upper section of
the street, it was a muddy sight, un-
saie for cars to attempt to travel.
This street should be improved.
The question then is this—who does
the street belong to—the city, county
or highway department. We would
say it belongs to the city, which is
responsible for its upkeep or perma
nent improvement. The highway de
partment, we are informed, says it
is not their responsibility. What the
county’s attitude is we do not know.
It seems to us that the city, county,
highway commission and railroad
owners should get together in a plan
. to improve this badly neglected
street. In the first place, it' will elimi
nate at least two railroad crossings
-and any move in the interest of safe
ty should be made. Likewise, it will
divert a considerable amount of
travel on this direct route through
the city and to the intersecion at the
‘ upper part of the town with the Lau
rens highway. At the same time it
•will remove , much traffic from the
heavily traveled West Main street.
Travel should be diverted wher-
•ever possible to relieve the heavily
traveled main highways which are
-rapidly being deteriorated with con-
•tinuous break-up in the pavement.
The main highways entering the city
are being worn out with many parts
becoming a patchwork as highway
maintenance crews strive to make
repairs and renaedy the sunken spots
made by the continuous flow of big
box-car trucks that are pounding
<our roads to death. We have good
highways as a state, but the rate
they are being damaged foreodes ex
pensive days to come.
West Carolina avenue should be
when we stray from the ancient
faiths, we imperil all that is best in
civilization, all the finest achieve
ments of mankind.
The world picture today is dark.
This nation is the leader of the forc
es of freedom in the bitter conflict
with the forces which would enslave
the world. If we are to survive vic
toriously in that conflict, we must
never forget the old faiths, the old
ideals, emphasized in this unusual
advertisement from a great railroad
system.
