T H E FIRST TEST The principal purpose for which the United Nations Organization was founded was " to m aintain international peace and security.” So declares its charter. As a means of achieving this aim the charter provides th at the U N O is " to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression on other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conform ity w ith the principles of justice and international law, ad justm ent or settlem ent of international disputes or situations which m ight lead to a breach oi the peace.” Just about seven months ago 50 nations subscribed to this purpose and procedure. Now, in London the Soviet-Iran dispute confronts them w ith the first test not only of their ability but their willingness to back up their lofty words with action. O f course, the "action” of the U N O is limited in this case to dis cussions and recommendations for a peaceful settlement of the problem. But the efforts th at were made to prevent the dispute from coming be- LOTS OF GAS, BUT CAN YOUR CAR TAKE IT? ‘ cussedness th a t dictates w hat you think? We are no nation of regimented slaves.

We are free men who cooperate but who do not be long in groups. Under our demo cratic form of government we are free to determine o u r o w n thoughts, and that implies a per sonal responsibility as to what we let rule our thoughts - our head, our heart or our cussedness. When our head rules, we can think calmly and dispassionately and determine what is the logical course to pursue for our own in terest. When our heart rules, we follow our emotions, too often mistaking the will’o-the-wisp of fanev for the steady flame of idealism. When our cussedness rules, we obey our prejudices - prejudices based on lack of know ledge of our brothers’ needs or motives. Just as we need three branches of government to cheek the usur- tion of power by one, so we need to let three - head, heart and cus sedness - rule our thonghts. Unquestionably we must first think with our heads, for we need clear anl logical thought. We nee to face and assimilate facts, to he realistic and practical in time of national tension.

But actually, it w ill take some time before we can provide a farm telephone for everyone who wants one . . . even though we are cutring down our waiting list every day. For there are many places where we have to install complicated switchboards . . . some, even, where we have to build entire new buildings. Our rate ot progress w ill depend on how rapidly our manufacturers can supply the necessary equipment and materials. Your local Telephone representative w ill be glad to tell you what has to he done in your locality and give you the latest information on about how long it w ill take. Meanwhile, you can be certain your farm telephone m on the way and that we arc doing everything possible to hurry the day we bring it to you.

I t said the beverage distillers are fully aware of this problem and are cooperating in every way possible to help solve it. The alcoholic is to the beverage distilling industry what the reckless driver is to the automobile industry. There is nothing wrong with the automobile, but in the hands of a man who doesn’t know how to drive it or is reckless, it becomes a menace. Likewise, it’s not the use but the abuse of alcoholic beverages that causes trouble.” DICK: “ Wonder why it is most men can drink moderately and others can’t ? ” OLD JUDGE: “ Intensive research at a great university has shown that most excessive drinkers are really sick people. They are suffering from some physical, social or emo tional upset. And great strides have been made in developing clinical methods of help ing these unfortunate people.” T U i a itn lu n u n t tpo tu o rti i f Conjrrtnt! t j Alcoholic B n rro ti InAiulriot, I m .
