Hoping for the best is all right, but you also gotta prepare for the wot st. A 300 billion debt is something no body ever had before. It is about 2300 dollars for every man, woman and off-shoot. It is about 8000 dol lars per family, which is the price of a nice house and lot including furni ture. "What yoo gonna do about it?” says Henry. "Hold your shirt," I says.

This is esp&ially true if our killed, or injured, or shell shocked are our best and bravest men. Better School Committees Needed Who are responsibjle for the weak physical and mental condition of the ¡ising generation? Who are training those who must provide re-employ ment for 30,000,000 veterans and war workers and must pay taxes for bil lions of pension s and a debt of $300 billions? The school committees of your city and mine are responsible foi what is to happen. Too many of them are putting cheap politics and their own selfishness before the good of their communities and returning soldiers. Some editors criticize me for writ ing about Education instead of Busi ness. But, let me reply as follows: — Good buxine»« must be preceded by good education. One is the hatchet and the other the handle; one Is the lock and the other is the key. They are insepaiable. Bad business and unemployment always result from a temporary weakness in our Educa tional System. This Is one reason why business depressions come about once every 20 years. Watch High School Discipline Therefore, in behalf of better post war business, less postwar unemploy ment and safer investment markets, I appeal to readers to check up on their school committee during 1945. Throw out any politicians who are thinking first o f themselves. Elect trained educators who know some thing about the world’s most delicate and intricate machine—the human brain—instead of plumbers, carpen ters and second-grade lawyers. Most school superintendents and teachers know what High Schools need, namely, brain-developing cours es, stricter discipline and less parties; football, etc. But, the young people dislike courses of study, such as mathematics which force them to THINK. These High School kids pre fer easy courses like typewriting which will merely help them to a temporary job. The politicians try to. please the students “for fear of a student strike’’, as a school commit teeman said to me the other day! Beware of Inflation A bad school committee situation exits in most of the communities where thi9 weekly column of mine is read. The composition of your school committee is far more imprtant than "who is mayor", or “what's the tax rate”, or “how city funds are to bp spent.” Your school committee of 1945 will determine whether you are to have business prosperity or depression ln 1955. Postwar inflation can postpone unemployment for a few years; but only better character, sounder health and more brains can lick “old man depression."

The Nazi scored a direct hit, and with it freed Vogel. AND DON'T FORGET -Send in your news NOW—Help m#ke this Newspaper interesting yourself.
