“THE TKl'TH WIL1J
A PRAYER FOR JOURNALISTS—“A HARROWED TRIBE”
From a Church of England clergyman cornea what he calls
’’a quaint and unconventional prayer for journalists, addressed
to St. Francis de Sales, the patron saint of newspapermen:
’ Dear patron of a harrowed tribe, grant us thy protection.
Bestow on us a little more of thy critical spirit and a little less
on our readers. Confer on our subscribers the grace of conde­
scension in overlooking our faults, the grace of light in acknow­
ledging our merits: and the grace of promptitude in meeting our
bills Make them less parital to compliments, more callous to
rebuke, less critical of misprints,
•Give us beautiful thoughts, brave thoughts, so that we may
have the courage to write as we think, and our readers the
docility to think as we write.”

There will have to be action if Ashland is ready to
do its part in helping to entertain the soldiers, some of
whom are scheduled to arrive this month, with the
main part of the forces due in succeeding weeks. For
that reason, it is hoped that each individual will give
something toward the fund and also will have the
amount ready when the solicitors call.
Let’s go Ashland! We can’t and won’t fall down on
this assignment.

get places by the shortest possible route, would elimi

time and created such grandiose ideas of spending
money. Perhaps out of all this mess could come a re
establishment of some of those principles included in
the founding of the government. It would require new
processes, no doubt, and again we hold that the young

ONE ARE the days when “limiteds” and “hot shot”
Q
freights claimed priority on the rails. Today they
are making way for the Victory trains carrying troops
and materials for vital war industries. As in the case
of the line serving the Rogue River valley, many pas­
senger trains have been taken out of regular service
to place equipment at the disposal of the government
in handling troop trains and military supplies. It leaves
those who must travel, or think they must, no choice
except such accommodations as the railroads have to
offer, and thinking people will make little complaint
so long as they arrive safely at their destination and
are not too far off their schedule.
A. T. Mercier, president of the Southern Pacific
company, in a message entitled “The Victory Trains
Come First,” states “Not only must troop trains be
given the right of way, but also the many freight
trains carrying materials and supplies must be han­
dled with the same dispatch as the forces themselves,
so that guns, tanks, ammunitions and planes may be
available where needed. The public attitude in cases
of delay to regular passenger or freight service has
been friendly and understanding.
This understanding has been manifested in many
instances of daily pursuits depending upon rail traffic.
No patriotic citizen will feel that he must have peace­
time service when to demand that service might be
adding to the difficulty of executing the war effort.
Transportation is still far in advance of the “horse and
buggy” days and if the war burden becomes so great
that civilian travel is further curtailed, or cut off en­
tirely, we will have to get along somehow. Our job, as
well as that of the railroads and other transportation
concerns, is to win the war and win we will if we have
to spend our vacations hoeing Victory gardens and oy
walking to and from our jobs.
YOUTH WILL CARRY ON!

HEN peace comes, following complete victory by
W
the United Nations, it is to be hoped that the youth
of the land will be given more of an opportunity to
participate in the affairs of the government. That does
not necessarily mean displacing the older men, for
their counsel will be needed, but it would be only fair
to give those who now are offering their all in the de­
fense of liberty and justice for all an active part in the
affairs of government.
But they are young and inexperienced, you say.
So they are, but they are also intelligent, alert, far-
seeing. They may be impulsive and will make mis-
VICTORY BEGINS RIGHT HERE
What’s Up to the U. S. is Up to Us
/
This war belongs to all of ua—to fight, to finance, to finish! As the President
has said: “We are all in it—all the way. Every man, woman, and child is a
partner in the most tremendous undertaking of our American history/*
Your part is clear—to put every dime and dollar you can possibly spare into
uniform—to buy U. S. Savings Bonds and Stamps regularly—so that our
boys will have the guns and planes and tanks they need to put the enemy on
the run. Take part of your change in U. S. Savings Stamps every time you
shop—your 25-cent Stamp may buy the machine bullet that sends an enemy
bomber crashing in flames. Turn Stamps into Bonds as fast as you can, that
is the American way—the volunteer way—to preserve our freedom and
safeguard your home, your family, and your future. P*membtr that you
can start buying U. S. Savings Bonds for as low as 91U.75 (for the 925.00
Bond) and Savings Stamps for as little as 10 cents.
