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

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

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

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

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.

live up to that experiment, to that degree the experi

of mankind. You and I are the ones who must prac

enough to stand before autocratic power and the

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."

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.

In Arizona a cat grew up with
six dogs. This cat wags its tail

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.

In Scotland recently, a line of
