Ne Liquor AdverHeemente acoepted at any price Friday, February 9, 1940 WHAT SHALL A PEOPLE DO? Man ban always worked out his destiny In some way or other. He has used his tulents and his capacities to achieve some sort of ends lu life, j There have been times when the tides of human endeavor have seemed to ebb and flow very slowly; then at other times the tempo of life has speeded up and remarkable achievements have marked the course of man. In those Instances In which man has made Ills greatest progress he hut been aggressive and active and has been able to obtain co-ordinated effort of his fellows. Leadership ha* b?pn the lot of those who have sensed the Trends and the appareut destines, whether, the leaders wore military, political, , philosophical or civic. After all, man must have some will to do as well as a willingness to do. The essence of defeatism Is that man has lost his willingness to do; he has (|ult, has folded his ambitions an 1 dropped down In repose. Such an at tltude, such a condition Is of the os seuco of regressive progress, It marks himself will make that choice, docs make that choice each day. A simple Question should put us all to thinking: What can a peoplo do, when thoy buckle'down to life's problems, great and small, and exercise the willingness to work, to go forward In the gVeat battlo for human achievement??Columbia State, a backward step in the annals of man's career upon the earth. It is a had stuto of social polity. The will to do is the basis of all achievement. Shall man fold his hands and sit down when problems arlso, or shall he go forth to do and dare? Work Is tho only basis of achieve-' ment In the end; work, either physical or mental, or both. When man decides to stop working he has made I the fatal mistake of man. Only byn work, by honest and persistent trial j I cau man achieve and go forward. Mun himself will make that choice, does make that choice each day. A simple question should put us all; to thinking: What can a |>eople do, whon they buckle down to life's problems, great and small, and exercise the willingness to work, to go forward in the great battle for human dchlevemunif ^Columbia State.

Banks, Bernardsville, N. J. Weather of World Gone off Balance The world's weather has gone off balance. While C<iimumu? und Americans may think they have been having a severo spell of snow and cold weather, it has not been as disagreeable as they might have expected, Judging from past weather performances. The people of Northern Europe have been having their coldest storms in half a century. Ordinarily when severe cold strikes that part of the globe, similar conditions prevail in the Northern United States and particularly In the northwestern states, according to R. H. Welghtman, official forecaster of the United States Weather Bureau. ? Even the bitter cold experienced hero has not equalled the record set by the cold spell In Europe, and the northeast has been having comparatively mild weather. \ Both North America and Europe get moat of their cold weather from* the winds which whistle down out of the Arctic and sub-Arctic. Most of England's nose-dripping storms, such as those of the last week, Welghtman ex* plained, come from low pressure area* arising in the vicinity of Iceland, j A; Usually the icy temperatures of the winds are greatly modified In sweeping over North Atlantic seaa, and Qu blasts, reaching England and Notth* em Franca, cause the "blowxy" foggy Jfj S weather of London. However, under extreme conditions they fall to lose their frigidity over the ocean' and carry violent icy storms across England and France apd as far south as Northern ItalyV-*"^ T 1 . , ~ . in mucu tu? eauie way uanaaa and the United States get most of their snow and freezing weathef from air sucked in through the giant funnel of the MacKenzie river basin In Northern Canada Just east of the Canadian Rockies. The weather of the two continents frequently balances as the Arctic air masses sweep southward. "These storms over North America seem to break out of the MacKenzle basin as the pressure of air increase* throughout that area," Weightman explained. "Then they sweep southward, sometimes as far as Alabama and Mississippi, as they did In recent weeks." - *r" Asks About a Report Editor The Chronicle: As we pre kbout to have an election for mayor and aldermen should not we have first some report from the present council.
