From The News-Review, River*
head. New York—Bitter experi
ence has taught many innocent
victims that chain letters, what
ever cash outlay is involved, are
a bad risk. The turrent chain
letter scourge, applied to the
purchase of U. S. Savings Bonds,
is Especially unfortunate. Not only
does it pradUbBy guarantee its
participants a loss at money and
a sense of frustration, but it
casts sinister shadows upon a
hitherto unsullied investment.
The purchase of the U. S.
Savings Bond implies no gamble
whatever: with principal and in
terest fully guaranteed by the
government, it offers one of the
best savings plans available at
this time. To acquire bonds by
the chain letter method, “for
nothing,” presents an element of
danger that no sensible citizen
should risk. Instead of obtaining
a bond “for nothing,” the cus
tomer invariably must settle for
“nothing,” at all.
This newspaper emphatically
echoes the warning of the U.S.
rreasury, to disregard the chain
IDEAS

EDITORS
letters now in circulation on
Eastern Long Island, and to ig
nore the implication that the gov
ernment, and banks, approve the
idea in order to increase Bond
sales. This last is hot true. On
"the contrary, the Treasury De
partment through the Federal Re
serve Bank, has instructed banks
and dther bond <goring
to reject applications fortlie' pur
chase of bonds where the appli
cant states, or the issuing agent
has reason to believe, that the
bonds may be used in the chain
letter racket.
Quite naturally, the Treasury
Department wants to sell as many
bonds as possible, to as many
United States citizens as possible,
for the sake of both citizens and
nation. Always, however, the
Treasury wants the sale to be in
the interest of thrift and good
financing. Like most “get-rich-
quick” schemes, chain letter bond
sealing can be expected to produce
no tangible result beyond a deficit
and a headache. Throw the next
chain letter away, folks, and do
your bond buying through proper
channels.

Program Leader for the meeting
was Mrs. Kibler Williamson, who
spoke on “The Life and Works of
Mark Twain.” Mrs. Williamson’s
enthusiasm for her topic was evi
dent in her treatment of Twain’s
interesting life and in the excerpts
she read from some of his writ
ings.
Describing Twain as a rugged
individualist and yet a man of
sensitive nature, Mrs. Williamson
showed how Twain’s life and sur
roundings influenced his works.
She used as her references “Love
Letters of Mark Twain,” edited by
Wecter; “The Autobiography of
Mark Twain”, edited by Neider;
“The Adventures of Huckleberry
Finn”, and “The Adventures of
Mark Twain”, by Allen.
The business session was presid

I’m for sunshine, springtime,

I’m for less government-control-
of-people and more people-control-
of-government. For our leaders
telling us what they plan to do
when the “Agrarian Reformers” in
Red China get the Bomb. For
breaking up that immortal love
triangle between Big Government,
Big Unions and Big Business. Big
Government is the biggest custom

find a few Big Businesses easier
to deal with than thousands of
small businesses. And Big Govern

Big Labor more convenient to
control. For potatoes baked, un

all, raw cabbage stalks, and salt

For publications paying their

Life magazine, which the Postmas

payers $9 million a year. (Life
regularly attacks the farm sub

For making life what yon make

the McCarran-Walter Immigra

LABOR DAY
HP HIS Labor Day we shall be
reminded of the rights of
labor and relationships and re

come a long way* by their organ

resources. That laborers have
come a long way and reached a
place of power and influence is
very evident That their power
should be used justly is desirable.
Morality is certainly involved
in the dealings between capital
and labor and their mutual tol

JUST A THOUGHT: '
An easy victory whatever the
contest, is never so sweet as
one achieved by great effort.
So fit is with the things of this

good life in those worldly
times, yet there is

■Miss Julia Kibler, program
chairman, introduced Mrs* Ralph
Whitaker, who gave , as her sub
ject “The Leopard” by Guiseppe di
Lampedusa. She stated that The
Leopard was the author’s only
book and he died in 1957 before it
was published.
Mrs. Whitaker, in giving the
historical background of the nbv
el, stated that in 1860, when the
action in The Leopard begins, It
aly was in the midst of her own
dramatic version of the American
Revolution.
Her account continued: “Her
small, separate state were strug
gling to join together, and to
throw off the foreign oppressors
—French, Austrian, Spanish—who
had dominated them for centuries.
Siqily, united with the neighbor
ing state of Naples into the King
dom of the Two Sicilies, was worst
off of all: the Bourbon dynasty
then in power was ignorant, cruel
and treacherous, And the island
had become a wasp’s nest of sec
ret Revolutionary societies. Most
liberal Sicilians looked to the
North, to Piedmont, where Victor
Emmanuel of Savoy was finally
beginning to forge a united King
dom of Italyv
“An abortive revolt broke out in
Sicily on April 4, 1860. Then, on
May 5, one of the great revolution
ary heroes / of history, Guiseppe
Garribaldi, sailed from near Ge
noa with his “Redahirts” to tree
the island. They landed at Mar
sala on May 11, took over Sicily,
then went on to liberate Southern
Italy.
abroad could have annihilated thw
young Italian Kingdom, Victor
Emmanuel sent Colonial Pallavi-
cini to stop Garibaldi. Rome fin
ally joined Italy in 1870.”
Mrs. Whitaker further stated a
sad strain fan throughout the
book, but was not too depressing,
and that it is a lyrical essay rath
er than a novel.
