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-

When can I get a telephone
for my farm?
We’d like to say very soon.
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

OLD JUDGE: "A very sensible ¿tatement.
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.”
