A Happy Note
X7AR, in any of its aspects, is not
pleasant to contemplate. Such
contemplation tends toward pessi
mism and cynicism, for the contem
plation only emphasizes the destuc
tion, hardships and sorrows which
accompany this awful scourge of
civilization.
But when war is upon the world,
the people must be realistic, they
may not turn cold shoulder else a
Hitler destroy them and the kind of
life which they desire to be perpet
uated to posterity.
Thus, people do contemplate war,
and from this contemplation quite
frequently in recent weeks almost
naught but a gloomy prospect has
been heard or seen for the future of
the world. There can only be bur
densome taxes, unemployment, gen
eral demoralization as an aftermath,
is so often the conclusion.
There is no denying the horrors
of war. And of necessity the con
sequences must be a set back to
true cultural development. There
is, however, a note of encourage
ment which has been felt, rather
than noted, in the last few weeks.
It is based largely on preparations
being discussed for taking care of
the war stricken countries after the
war is over, rather than in the tre
mendous armaments being con
structed as protection, or as an aid
to allies in subduing a common en
emy before he reaches our shores.
In this happier note, there appears
a method of healing wounds and of
creating a new brotherhood of man.
In providing shelter and food for
the homeless, and in diverting our
industries toward the building of
machines of reconstruction .at the
war's close there appears not only
the chance to show the milk of hu
man kindness and to weld a solid
friendship with those who now look
ttskance, but to keep the resources
labor, capital, raw materials and
machines busy making the mater
ials of peace as they are now busy
making materials of war.
Man's intelligence, so resourceful
at attaining ends of destruction, need
not succumb to problems of recon
struction. The same resources are
at. all times present. The same am
ount of wishful thinking applied af
ter the conflict should prevent any
complete breakdown of human lib
erties or a panic of want, as people
Jiow are prone to predict.
INJURIA BY HORSE
Frank Nickerson received painful
injuries Friday afternoon while at
tempting to ride a young horse at
the Rodeo grounds. When mounting
he shoved his foot through the stir
rup into the horse's front flank and
it reared just as he was throwing
his body over, the saddle horn strik
ing him under the chin. The horse
continued to rear and it was a mo
ment before Nickerson's foot became
disengaged and he was thrown to the
ground, prone. He was unconscious
for an hour, and examination later
revealed several cracked ribs be
sides severe bruises on head and
body. He was confined at home for
several days as a result.
LIKES ARMY LIFE
A letter received by Mrs. Chris
P. Brown this week from her son,
Paul, who is in the Philippine is
lands with Uncle Sam's army, related
that he is now attending military
school at Manila and that he likes
army life very much. Paul had re
ceived two issues of the Gazette
Times since his arrival in the is
lands, and expressed appreciation
for their coming, saying he didn't
know how much news happened at
home before.

TN THESE UNUSUAL TIMES we invite you to
inspect an unusual new car new in its beauty,
its comfort, its choice of two fine 90 horsepower
engines, 6 cylinders or 8.
See it and you sense at once that here is new
style that will stay good for years. On a lower,
wider chassis, we have designed new long, low,
wide and modern lines.
Interior treatment is entirely fresh, distinctive,
pleasing. The beauty of this Ford will more than
hold its own in any company.
Inside, the car is big wide across the seats,
generous in knee-room, leg-room, elbow-room.
On the road this year you find the "new Ford
ride" still further advanced in its softness, quiet
ness, steadiness and all-round comfort.
Si
i
At the wheel, you will find driving easier than ever.
Steering, gear-shifting, action of the big and sure
hydraulic brakes have all been made smoother
and easier.
In quality, the car is sound to the last detail.
Defense requirements have all been met without
a single reduction in the basic and lasting good
ness of the Ford mechanically. Some new materials
have replaced old ones, usually at a greater cost
to us, but in every case the new is equal to or better
than the old.
If your family needs a new car, go see and drive
this Ford. For what it is today and for what it will
be through the years ahead, we believe that you will
find in it more and better transportation for your
money than you have ever found before.
