NATIONAL DISTILLERS PROD. CORP., NEW YORK Editorials On Newt (Continued From Page One) effort plain lucky and nothing else. Nothing could be farther from the truth. ' The guy who gets there in a big way does it by staying on his toes all the time, never relaxing when he shouldn't, picking 'em up and laying 'em down accord' ing to carefully worked out schemes whose working out brings brain fag in the long hours. And as often as not it isn't the dollar he makes as much as the fun of the thing that keeps him driving on. (No extra charge for this preaching.) JOWN a sage brush draw at one side of the tracks through this wide desert, two men are walking. They carry guns. Their manner is furtive. One has the feeling that their eyes are shifty, searching each clump of sage, appraising it for what may lurk in its shadow. When this writer, fresh out of college, first crossed these desert wastes, headed West, he would have identified them unhesitat ingly as bandits, their hands red with violent crime, their shifty eyes alert for posses; prepared to sell their lives dearly. The clearer vision that comes with years and experience Indi cates that they're probably hunt ing jackrabbits, and a glance at the rattletrap jaloppy parked in the middle distance suggests that a can of jackrabblt stew would be an important and wel come incident in their lives. ...

SOVIET ARMY BATTERS ENDS OF LINE (Continued From Page One) lasted far into the night, Finland reported today. The red army smashed at the western end of the isthmus de fense line and at Taipalc, the eastern sector where the two divisions launched their attack. The twin offensives meant the Russians were trying to break through across nearly the entire width of the isthmus and that the battle still was most critical for Finland. Finnish hopes were raised by the onset of a swirling blizzard which was expected to balk the Russian drive and further strengthen the defense. Eight hundred Russian planes were authoritatively estimated to have participated in yester day's raids, which continued into the early morning. A Finnish announcement said although many bombs were dropped yesterday, damage was relatively slight It said that probably 1000 bombs fell in the town of Rithimaki and the sur rounding area alone. Apparently attempting a knockout blow from the skies, the soviet aerial armada ranged southern and central Finland through the night and Into the early morning hours, sending bombs crashing onto cities, rail ways and roads.

Ada Paugh, 22, told authorities today how sho was locked out of her cousin's home while bare foot, causing her ears, feet and right hand to freeze in the In tense cold. , Probation Officer A. D. Shaf fer reported that when the young woman was kept out of the houso at neighboring Quecrcck, she wore only a flimsy black dress wet from just being washed.

Feb. 21 & Through some freak of wiring, the new $2200 electric organ at the Freeport Methodist church picks up amateur short-wave broadcasts and sends them through the amplifier, like a radio. during the quiet of a service. ' organist Emma Chapman saved j embarrassment by switching the organ off "real quickly, so that ' nobody heard it." "But the next time It comes f on," Miss Chapman said today, i "we're not going to turn it off. i The congregation Is curious about the voice and we'll let them hear it." Coal Shortage UHn IKrltaln N LONDON. Feb. 21 m Prime Minister Chamberlain admitted today that a serious coal shortage was causing wide spread suffering in the British Isles but said the government was taking immediate measures to prevent a recurrence. As soon as the shortage Is dealt with, he said, the govern ment intends to build up ample coal reserves. Its thrifty Dynaflash power plant, now balanced after assembly, gives it twice as many Best-of-the-Bunch votes as any other, as does its chassis construction. With soft and easy coil springs all around it's only natural that some two and a half times as many peo ple pick Buick as best for ride. And a two to one vote on room is understandable in view of the SUPER'S close-to-five-fcet front seat. But the really satisfying thing to us is the way people size up Buick's value. Half again as many people pick ing, to 11 for the Number Two car. pays CITY BRIEFS Women's Council The four groups of the Women's council of the First Christian church will meet Thursday, February 22, at tlio following homes: Group 1 with Mrs. R.
