"War," I've often heard it said, "is an inevitability. Because

I don't believe it. I say it is not the nature of man to want
to fight. Sometimes small boys seem fond of fighting, but gen
erally such boys are bullies; and

Kingsbury of Salem, executive

more frequently than not they
sooner or later lose that fondness,
usually- by getting the stuffing
beaten out of them. To civilized
man generally, fighting is abhor
rent. Otherwise the world would
be like a den of wolverines. The
life of a wolverine is one fight
after another, and rarely indeed
has man ever seen one with all
ts legs or both its eyes' or ears.
Fighting is not second nature
to man, nor third nor fourth .
whatever the aphorism means.
Man will fight only if impelled
to it by some' deep-rooted emo
tion, such as extreme anger or,
fear. Ordinarily, man will not
fight even for a principle, because
the results, even in triumph, are
seldom worth the. cost of struggle.
Thus I refute the statement that
wars are the outgrowth of man's
natural will to fight. Wars are
caused by. fear and anger. Japan
and Germany made war against
us out of fear. This was partic
ularly so in the case of Japan, as
was so plainly evidenced by the
treacherous manner of her initial
attack. We retaliated because of
anger.
We think we are angry because
of that initial attack. And so we
are. But still that is not the pri
mary motive behind our national
willingness to prosecute the war
for all it is worth. We are fight
ing the enemy for reasons the
enemy can neither appreciate nor
comprehend. A thousand little
reasons which collectively spell
what , we are and what we have
that we mean to keep,
Under the present circum
stances, man is willing to go to
war because of the existence of
things which even he may not
think of in the light of import
ance. Things that are so much a
part of his daily life and what he
is and stands for, that he is en
tirely unconscious of . their . pres
ence as factors in his contentment
and well-being.
Such as, for instance, his slip
pers and easy chair after working
hours. His favorite radio programs
and newspaper, with its comics
and sports page and editorials. His
bed with its warmth and com
fort on cold nights, or its freedom
of lazy relaxation on Sunday
mornings. The little attentions of
his wife or mother to his partic
ular traits and preferences in such
trivial matters as the precise man
ner of preparing his food or iron
ing his shirts.
His growing children: the ques
tions they ask and the easy respect
they have for his superior knowl
edge; the faith they have in his
competency to teach them right
from wrong, and the innocent
confidence they have in his pres
ence as a symbol of authority and
security against harm and dis
comforts. The little things. A man's dog.
The Light of the World on the
wall. The electric clock which
never needs care. The sounds of
the refrigerator. when it clicks on
and off. The .presence of soap and
clean towels and fresh hot and
cold water. The flickering fire
place on cool evenings. The handy
toaster and percolator and waffle
iron. , The shine of clean floors
and the softness of rugs beneath
his feet The canned food and
winter's fuel in his basement
These are the things that cause
a man to fight These things and
others. : A ; man's neighbors : and

With real autumn right around
the corner, there seems to be so
much , to do with so little time
left to do it in.
Every gardener
should make a
list of "do's and
pin this : list to
his garden house
or some other
place where 'he
sees it each day
he goes for his
garden, tools
Then check ofl
the do's" which
have been done.
: Speak ing of uum mftm
garden , tools -we .are ..coming to
the time of the year in which gar
den tools will assume a rusty con
dition. And next year we may
find it impossible to get new. gar
den tools. The. US Golf associa
tion recommends a . paste which
will remove even thick . deposits
7
of rust It is made from two parts
oxalic add, two parts phosphoric
acid, five parts ground silica and
one part glycerine. After smear
ing this on and setting the tool
in a warm place "for. about a half
hour, wash it all. oft Next time
remember to -put on a rust preventive-after
the tools have been
well cleaned. -
Have- you remembered to re
move 'your matured hollyhock
stocks from your year old plants
and pulled out the two year okisT
It is best to burn-these. Holly
hocks are great carriers of rust
Foliage should be cleaned up well
in autumn. - Sulphur - sprays are
going to be difficult to obtain next
spring for any extra spraying.
Nitrogen is also going to be
difficult to obtain next spring.
. Natural manures from green
grass, and other refuse will have

gardener should - now ; have: a
compost And if yon are plan

spring and yon will have gone
a way toward adding, fertilizer

friends, whether they prefer
games or gossip. The freedom to
indulge in conversation on any
subject without fear of a snooping
gestapo. The freedom to sit in
public cafes and criticize or praise
the owner or the president of the
United States alike. The knowl
edge that you can trust your '
friends and know that they know
they can trust you. The freedom
to go anywhere at any time, day
or night The freedom to select
your own movie programs and
know they were designed to en
tertain you rather than as propa
ganda to be shoved down your
throat
These things and others. The
satisfying scenery. Man-made
cities and dams and smooth rib
bons of pavement up over the
mountain and down through the
valley. The cloud impaled on a
snowpeak and the wide stretches
of beach sand with an expanse of
ocean reaching clear off to the
red sunset
Public libraries for w h i 1 i n g
away the hours or adding to your
knowledge. Public schools under
the direction of competent teach
ers whose aim is truth and mental
freedom.' The mailman .with a
hundred greetings at Christmas
time. The telephone that puts you
in handy reach of the doctor and
the fire department and the first
aid car. The policeman cruising
the neighborhood while you sleep,
The street sprinkler, and the elec
tric wires that lead in from the
alley. The dry sidewalk and the
bus that stops at the corner. The
lawn sprinkler and the green
front yard.
And the job. The Job and the
spirit of good fellowship where
you earn your living. The salary
check and the freedom to pay it
on your bills or give it away.
Quitting time and the banter of
those with whom you work.
All these are the things that
make a man want to go to war,
Make a man willing to fight And
if by any possible stretch of the
imagination you can still believe
that it is the nature of man to
want to fight then let us say that
we in America at least have
something well worth fighting for,
