The world tempo has been speeded up. This nation
of ours is moving faster than ever before. The time is
near at hand when every individual will be engaged in
war activity of one type or another. Thousands of new
people are among us— other thousands are coming.
New people bring new ideas, new methods of conduct
ing affairs. Is Ashland going to sit back dreaming of
the days gone by or join the procession and look for

make that decision is here. Which way shall we go?
