NtWSFAPK NATION AL EDITORIAL k ruBLisHtai ''ASSOCIATION ‘THE PAPER THAT HAS NO ENEMIES HAS NO FRIENDS. -—George Putnam "Lest We Forget” We are approaching an important national election at a time when world affairs seem of paramount importance. I he rapid and dramatic course of events in Korea commands our daily interest and attention. Beyond Korea, our deepest aspirations and hopes are for the attainment of security and peace in the world. But we cannot ignore the real domestic issues that are at stake in the November election. In fact, we cannot separate the domestic from the international issues even if we attempt to do so. Our hopes for security and peace are inextricably bound up with our efforts to preserve a strong and stable economy in our own country. For the past seventeen years we have had national administrations which have believed that the power and authority of the people, operating through their government, can and should be used to “promote the common welfare”. Under Presidents Roosevelt and Truman the powers of government have been used in the interest of farmers, workers, businessmen and con sumers. Our natural resources have been developed and conserved through programs of reclamation, reforestation, soil conservation, and the public development of hydro-electric power. Our human resources have been protected by increased governmental activity in the fields of education, health and housing by the adoption of the Social Security system. Farmers have been assured of reasonable prices, and workers have won the right of collective bargaining. All of these measures have helped us to achieve the greatest and most widely distributed prosperity and the most stable democratically ruled economy that the world has ever known. Some have watched this progress with misgivings and alarm. We have been warned of the danger of bankruptcy and against trends of socialism, communism, statism and bureaucratic domination. Yet our schools, our churches, our individual freedoms, have never been more secure than they are now. One of the things that is at stake in this election is whether we shall continue to go forward along this well-charted road of progress or whether we shall become afraid and turn back. We had a sample of retrogression during the 80th Congress, and the verdict of the voters in 1918 was emphatic in favor of going forward again along the course that the people of America have overwhelmingly chosen and approved. We cannot afford another experiment with reaction. Korean War--Touchstone of Our History Reprinted From The “Charleeton Gazette a o REELECT DETROIT By MRS. O. J. WHITE shower for the L. R.

NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD MEN TO COME TO THE \ ID OF THEIR COUNTRY. When this writer learned to type he literally wrote that sentence hun dreds of (lines. IS NOW THE TIME? Hundreds of our young men have gone to the aid uf their country, some have fought and died in far off lands. Hundreds more will be drafted into the armed forces so they too can learn to kill. Today we face a unique periml in our history, never before except in time of actual conflict have we mobilized our resources for war. Why the change? Never before have we as a Nation feared anyone or anything. We fear the unknown. We hear rumors that another Nation has thousands of airplanes, tanks, guns and untold millions of soldiers. No longer are we sure that we can allow another to strike the first blow and then go on to win. Even now we hear men in high public esteem saying: "Strike now, we are better prepared than they". Yes, today, we are afraid. But as the late Franklin Delano Roosevelt said, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself’’. BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET Yes, now is the time for al) good men to come to the aid of their country—to make this, our country, the strongest Nation in the world. Let men hope, talk, work, and pray for peace. Our national security is the guarantee of our safety, our freedom, and our democratic form of government.

But I’ve found it pays to have ’em around. Hack was talking about a fam ily of barn owls, nesting in his silo this year. Some folks believe those little white-faced screechers kill chickens—and ought to be shot on sight. But Hack disagrees. “Up at State University they’ve studied barn owls for years —and never known one to eat a chicken. On the other hand, a daddy owl will clean up around 300 mice a month. Farmers that kill barn owls are throwing away the best mousetraps known to man ! ” From where I sit, when someone shows a prejudice against any group of animals or humans — it’s usually just based on misunder standing.
