THE BEAUTIFUL LUXURY OF RADIO! While some may claim the radio has become necessity in the average American home, the Miner not only is going to insist that radio is a lavish luxury, but is going to prove the assertion. It is admitted that powerful, well-behaved sets now can be purchased by a family of most moderate means, but therein lies radio’s greatest psychological balm. The man in the street, the day laborer, the white collar worker and the average punk who is haunted by an inferiority complex when dazzled by Prominent Presences—all may enjoy the greatest luxury known to man: Each and every one of them, regardless ot caste, sex, color or creed may, with a gesture of let s- consider-the-matter-closed formerly ascribed only to the snooty rich, reach out to his radio dial and silence at will Al Jolson, child stars, super-colossals and that blasted KMED furniture program announcer! In no other way can Mr. Average Man become the temperamental shopper and domineering dictator he is in front of his own radio set. And with radio programs what they are. if that isn’t a luxury we don't know what the word means. ★ ★ ★ SAME ‘SPOTS,’ BUT MORE DISCERNIBLE! remain in the danger zone have of their own volition • llaiohl Owens of Harrisburg I in Ashland Wednesday ami cast their lot with China and should take the conse arrived accompanied Nina Clark back to quences of their acts like honorable Americans rather the Willamette valley town the day .Miss Clark is a than set up a yammer to save their property and necks following teacher in the Harrisburg schiMils aimed to conscript other American citizens who do not • Mr and Mrs Bill DeWitt left choose to become involved in the Orient.

American business “leaders” in the Orient, in reply to President Roosevelt’s word they would have to remain in the war zone at their own risk, claim Amer­ ican prestige has reached its lowest point in the last 100 years. Well, that may be how things look over there, but on this side of the pond we are inclined to believe that letting them remain at their own risk is better than them remaining at the risk of everybody else in this country. It may be true that a handful of citizens have spent years and lifetimes building up trade and holdings in the Orient, but it also is true that millions of others have elected to stay in our own United States and build up what they could in trade and holdings. This being a democracy, well, who the devil do the few citizens in China think they are? America has not yet reached that stage of unthink­ ing hysteria when the mere waving of our flag »will cause us to hurtle hundreds of thousands of lives and our national wealth into the breach because a scat­ tered few money-seeking globe trotters might get mussed up a little.
