ORKOOV M u s in ç s u S 'l tíy a n In no c e nt B y t ta n d e i ‘ Set urn like we heard sometime that the people of this commuuit» wanted soft water in this town Well, they’ re getting it. ooddleg o it, too. I? there was just some waj we could store up enough of thi pure, soft water that is drenchin our land, to last us through next summer, wouldn’t that be ju dandy. Anyway, it may fill up tl city well, at that. • • • A movement is being started which may bring great results. Th young people of the churches have started a crusade to eliminate road signs and bill boards advertising to bacco, cigarettes, wines, beer, liq uora, etc, from along our highways and streets. The movement has Its merits. No one will deny that liquoi never yet did anyone any good and has done Incalculable harm in this world. One has only to look about his own community to see evidence of what the liquor habit can and does do to cause suffering and loss • • • So why allow the men who are in the business solely for financial gain regardless of what may happen to the youth of the land, to emblaxon our highways with sign after sign setting forth the alleged merits ol this or that brand of beer or wine, or even hard liquors? Why not make a start in tht right direction right here at home and pass an or dinance forbidding such signs with in our city limits? Let’s be fair tc our youth and help Instead of hin der their growth toward better citizenship. • • • Today is Thanksgiving Day. Once more the nation pauses for the an nual check-up. Today, in spite of wars and rumors of war, of an ap parent “ Recession” in the business world, myriads of production cur tailments, “ planned economies” and suchlike nonsense, our country stilt leads the world in several ways. For one, we can think up more damplioo notions in any given length of time than any nation since the fall of Rome. • • * THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2A, I tut 7 V .'

As individuals, of course, each has SOMETHING to be thank ful for. None of us but can find many things for which to thank the Giver of all good things. Rut a* this time it might be well to look about us and see if we cannot see where we can improve our lives so that by the time next year’s Thanks giving day rolls round we will have more to be thankful for. • • • On this day of “ gin^ral rejoicin’ ”, as the feller said, this writer is thankful for “ life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” For friends, good neighbors, a fair measure of health, an opportunity and a will to work.
