stomachs and digestive organs of the American public.”
That’s afine indictment to return against our new national
dish, the nearest thing to a square meal that a dime will
purchase. And just at a time when the joys of driving
along a nice smooth pike lay in the fact that it was dot­
ted every mile or so with a “hot dog” stand. But such is
life. The things we learn to like most are sooner or later
marked “poison” and put on a top shelf where we can’t
reach them. And all because we haven’t yet learned that

us believe that something isn’t good for us is only try­

THE WORD “DADDY”
Several more murders the past week. One down by
Independance when a garage man was murdered because
the murdered wanted the owners Ford. He will probably
turn out to be crazy.

wonder if the average Vernonia man or woman
know what the word “Daddy” means to a child
W i 4, really
5 or 6 years old? To the boy. Daddy is an ideal, a man
so skilful! that he can set the pace in any impossible game;
so wise that he can build boats and slingshots and kites
that soar high; so heroric that he can go out each morn­
ing into the big world and come back each evening with­
out a scratch. To the girl daddy i§ the source of candy and
dolls and nice dresses; the teller of stories that delight
her; the big, strong man who catches her in his arms and
squeezes her “most to death.” He is her ideal, too- of man­
hood.
All around us as we go and come- we see these little
manife<ations of child-life, but we don’t think much
about them. They are taken just as a part of our every-day
life. Then there come*, through the columns of the news­
paper, perhaps, a call from a little child whose father ha*
strayed from home, and we begin to realize just how-
powerful Daddy is, and what he really means to someone
A few days ago we read of an instance of this kind, the
case of a little Milwaukee girl who died of a broken heart
because he Daddy had taken sick and “gone away.” Her
playmate, her child’s ide?.!, was absent and she refuse»'
to eat or to be consoled. Impossible, you say, in a child o
4. No it isn’t Just multiply a few times the intensity o.
child love that you see about you right here at home, am
you will have just that thing.
What does the word “Dad(|y” mean? Well- joined with
the word “Mother” -it means just about everything in the
child’s life, including at one end the material playmate
and the other divine power and love.
