I 37T MAIL TRIBUNE Peace With Honor For America (Jack Halstead, a Medford high essay contest sponsored by foreign wars tor essays on ine suDjeci "reace wun Honor tor America." His winning essay is published below. Editor's note;. Something of lasting happened when the United States of America was born. An experiment was launched, an experiment in human dignity, human liberty and human happi ness. Waves of destruction are beating against this dream today. The experiment is threatened by war and chaos, the attermath a JMANY alarmists are in our midst. Their cries of fear and hatred are loud. But let us remember, this is not the first time our experiment has been endangered, nor will it be the last. There is no room for alarmists. We must have leaders with vision and we must act as a nation of leaders. The present struggle has been in progress throughout the first half of this century and the whole world has been drawn into it. During that struggle the common will of mankind has been subordinated for the particular purpose duals may have started the nor their opponents can at a people's war, and people every degree 01 power ana vai leiy 01 ioriune, are in volved in its sweeping changes. These two ideas we thinking: the knowledge volved in the conflict, and that man's ideal of human dignity lies in our own concept of America. THE issues of the conflict 1 be no surrender with honor because there Is no honor in slavery. We are committed to the conflict and to victory. There can be no peace in the chains of bondage. There can be no peace in a world where might makes right. There can be no peace where the Son of Man is an alien. And there can be no peace in a world where the sons of Adam are slaves. Peace and victory are synonymous. Yes, peace and victory are synonymous, but vic tory without honor is peace without honor. We can not win if we trust only in our guns. In fact, we can not win with truns. Mankind has learned that shoot ing wars can win, at best, an armistice, a period for rallying behind new battle lines. Peace with honor must come from the American experiment itself. Vast power is ours. Twice we have shown the world what awful means of destruction can be spawned in the workshops and factories of free men. Yes, we have the power what are we going to do ancient role of power and dizement and material benefit, or shall we use it to make the people of other nations suffer in a way we said was intolerable when we uttered our Declara tion of Independence? MUST never forget the American ideal so ably expressed by Lincoln when he said, ". . . the chains of slavery anywhere were seeds for slavery here." We must return to the ideals of our early leaders who believed that wherever other systems were pre ferred, either as being better suited to existing condi tions or as being thought better in themselves, we should leave the preference concerned. Yes, we must build guns and planes and battle ships . . . and maybe even the hydrogen bomb. We must have power to contain those who would use power for aggression. But battle, must be iought in ment to success. If the conflict is really to determine the value of individual liberty and human dignity, and it is, then, as Webster commented, we are truly the last great hope of the world. TT HAS been said that the battle of Waterloo was A won on the playing fields of Eton. The conflict today can be won by every living and believing m the We dont necessarily America, but we do have to live to defend it. Every American is a symbol of our nation, a symbol of man kind's greatest experiment. When one of us fails to live up to that experiment, to that degree the experi ment nas failed. You and I are the last great hope of mankind. You and I are the ones who must prac tice our ideal before the world. You and I are the ones who must bring peace, with honor, to America. we sometimes think enough to stand before autocratic power and the might of aggressive states, but might itself. There is another power much stronger than the power of des potism : that is the power of intelligent public opinion in all the nations of the earth. There is no dictator in the world whose reign sure of opinion. To speak of iron curtains and cen sorship is to rationalize our own failures here. The world will never hate nor The Grange Griffin Creek Grange H.E.C. met at Griffin Creek Grange hall April 20 for a pot luck luncheon. The afternoon was spent In cleaning the hall.

America will have lifted high the torch to guide the world to the goals of justice, liberty and peace. That is the only Peace with Honor for America. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Gleanings from the teletype: In Los Angeles over the week end "wolf-packs" of youths wielding tire irons and clubs roamed the city beating people up without apparent provoca tion. Some 10 persons are re ported as having been so han dled. Four of these kids, rounded up and jailed, explained to the officers that they had no specific grievances against the persons they worked over with their tire irons. We were just mad at the world," they said. aF I HAD been going peace fully about my business and had been set upon by these young thugs, I think I'd have been pretty mad AT THEM.) s IN NORTH FOLK, California (I'll have to admit I don't know what part of the state that's in) a guy who fought the war in the army was dancing with an aunt of a couple of ma rines on Saturday night. He maintained (I presume; the dis patches aren't wholly clear on that point) that the army won the war. The lady insisted that the marines had a considerable part in the job. He lost his temper and slapped her and was ejected from the hall by the marine nephews aid ed by some neighbors. He got himself a 32-20 rifle, ambushed the two ex-marines on their way home, killing one of them and seriously wounding the other. He explained to the arresting officers that he didn't really mean any harm. He was JUST MAD, he said. AT THIS POINT the scene shifts from California to Iowa, where a farm lad was try ing to get a cow to go into the barn. (This too happened Satur day. This past week-end seems to have been bad business.) The cow acted as cows often act, and the boy blew up. He climbed into a pickup truck and ran it over his mother and then tried to drive it up onto a porch where his invalid father was sitting In a wheel chair. The truck didn't negotiate the porch handily, but it shook the fa ther's wheel chair off and the old gentleman was considerably bruised in the crack-up. The kid, still fuming, ran into the house, set fire to an over stuffed chair, grabbed up a shot gun and dashed out into the wide, wide world. He hasn't been seen since, but officers are hunt ing him. I DON'T WANT to seem frivo lous, but I can't help won dering what the outcome would have been if the short-tempered youngster had been trying to get a hog through a gate instead of a cow into a barn. My personal opinion, derived from a certain amount of expe rience In younger years, is that trying to drive a hog through a gate (or back through a hole In by Roland Co great experiment of liberty the fence the hog just came out of) is about as exasperating as anything can be. If it had been a hog instead of a cow, the boy might have wiped out half the township. fID THESE incidents, scat tered around over our big country, occur because the pace of modern life is addling brains that weren't too solidly set up in the first place? Or is the seemingly screwball pace of our modern life due to the presence among us of too many addled brains? Which came first the hen or the gg?

Worth avenue, Palm Beach, one of the world's most glamo rous shopping centers, is now a paradise for bargain hunters. All the principal shops are having sales and offering a wide variety of goods at from 20 to SO per cent off. Even celebrated brands of cigars are included in this reduction policy. Most of the em ployees of these Worth avenue shops work at Palm Beach in the winter and at boutnampton, in the summer. The rest of the year they take it easy. Not a bad life. Unusual Weather Some people appear to believe I have exaggerated as to the un usual weather" Florida has been having. I have decided to drop the subject of Florida weather entirely. But before doing so per; mit me to quote from the Miami Herald of Apr. 17, 1950: "It was colder in Miami Saturday and Sunday than it was in Omaha, Neb." Sidelights who is Known as tne patron saint of psycho-analysts? None other than St. Thomas of Aqui nas. He argued a doctor should have the right to probe a pa tients mind as much as his Body. That was nearly 700 years ago. . To hand is a picture post card from my favorite red-haired singer, Jeanette MacDonald, who is on a concert tour. It is post marked Point Clear, Ala., and on it is a picture of the Grand hotel of that city. "This is a lovely town and the Grand ho tel is an unusually pleasant place to stop at," writes Jean ette. Askina Queries from clients, w. wnai was the nationality of the found er of the Pinkerton Detective agency? A. Allen Pinkerton, founder of the agency, was born in Scotland in 1U19. He came to this country as a young man. Started as a detective on the Chicago police force in 1848. He was the first detective the Chi cago force ever had. In 1850 he established his own private agency. Q. Who wrote the popu lar song titled, "Sweet Sue "? A. If it wasn't Victor Young I am stuck for another stogie. Q. I claim the Italians invented ice cream. Right? A. An Italian orig- inted what we now call "ices," as for example, orange ice. The English originated ice cream. However, their inspiration came from the Italian "ices." Georee Raft, who has appeared in hundreds of films, claims he has never seen himself in a film. I don't like to look at me," is the way George explains this as tonishing situation. . . . cats seem to be unusually influenced by environment. A Perth, Australia, cat grew up with ducks and now quacks and nisses insieaci oi giv ing voice to tne usual meow. In Arizona a cat grew up with six dogs. This cat wags its tail and barks. Cures - Veterinarians effect some won derful cures on horses. Alter an accident the British thorough bred Dramatic was paralyzed all over and had rheumatoid arth ritis. Two veterinarians went to work on him and he was cured in four months. Put back in training he won this year's Lin colnshire handicap. It is proba ble some of the cures used by veterinarians and trainers on horses would do all right on people. Ine noted American trainer, "Sunny Jim" Fitzsimmons, origi nated a preparation to use on horses to eliminate pains and aches. Worked wonderfully. Then "Sunny Jim" decided one time to try it on himself. It cured him. Other people have since tried it with equal success. Advertising Why has that amusing, suc cessful and highly instructive stage play titled, "It Pays To Advertise," never been made into a talking picture? I was re minded of this play when read ing of the early career of Thom as Lipton. By the time he was 29 years of age Lipton owned a chain of 20 successful markets. He achieved this unusual success by clever advertising and highly original exploitation stunts. Blue Heaven Are you planning to build a home, "a little blue heaven"? Or have you already taken the 0 Jtin step? Do you know what the ex perts on the subject say a man snould pay for a home? They say the price should not exceed two and a half times your yearly in come. Also that the monthly pay ments should not be more than one fourth of your monthly in come. Says She "I wish to strongly disagree with that woman who advised girls not to marry a man who is the only son in the family and nas a iot of sisters, writes Chicagoan. "My husband has seven sisters and none could ask for a better husband than mine. He is just as sweet and consider ate as he can be. I think a man who has a number of sisters has the advantage in that he doesn't feel women were put on earth just for him, but really that they are human beings too. Sisterless males are inclined to think they are God's gift to women. They lack the tolerance and under standing that men have who have been fortunate enough to spend their early lives in a pre dominantly female household. Sidelights Am informed a resident of Chinatown in San Francisco, where there are not very many dogs, has purchased a springer spaniel and named him Timmy, after our dog. That's a dog I will have to see the next time I visit the town by the Golden Gate. As to the man who origi nated the idea of the gasoline tax in 1919 in the state of Ore gon, it was C. C. Chapman of Portland. I don't know what state has the highest gasoline tax. In Florida, it is seven cents a gallon. Some states go as high as nine cents a gallon. Briefly In Scotland recently, a line of fans five miles long waited for a chance to buy seats for a foot ball match. Imagine being on the end of a line five miles long. The Scots must really love foot ball. . . . Walter Neusel, who ap peared in New York many years ago, is still professionally active as a boxer in Germany. Neusel is now 43 years old.
