TROOP TRAINS ROLLING—
past week, troop trains have been roll
T HIS
ing. Real troop trains, filled with young
men in khaki and ‘over sea’s caps.
However, they are a bit different than those
which we oldsters remember in ’17 and ’18,
when such trains, as silently and as stealthly as
death, stole out of unannounced stations, sped
over cleared tracks, disgorged their loads as
quietly and as stealthly, at some distant and sec
ret terminal.
Human loads, which at some later dawn,
marched in long silent lines through some city’s
sleeping streets, to be loaded on ships that
ploughed through torpedo and mine infested
waters, and to disembark on a foreign .country’s
soil. There to be shot down, blinded, wounded,
gassed, and maimed in muck and mire. Some
never returned, those that did, came back with
the horror of war seared on their souls and
gleaming from their eyes.
Why? Because some place, some one, had de
clared a war that got beyond all bounds and
someone had to fignt to end it all—for all time.
That is what they told us then. Now, we smile
at the naive trust with which we believed them.
But whether we had to fight or did not have to,
whether we were fearless or foolish, whether it
was the tragedy of the century or a mark of gov
ernmental genius, we are still too close in history
to know the whole truth, yet. That must come to
a future generation. It is they, who will mark us
as gullible idiots, or inspired patriots.
But these new troops that are rolling, speed
ing merrily along, khaki clad youths waving
from open windows? No grim purpose in their
eyes, rather a happy expectation of pleasant
things to come. Members of the Civilian Conser
vation Corps are they, transported off the streets
by this same government, but under a new deal,
to places where they can work, have a chance to
become men.
A gigantic experiment that is, to our minds,
proving one of the finest and most gratfying of
them all. Perhaps we will not get a hundred per
cent perfect result, but we are getting real,
worth-while work done. They, are learning the
value of patiotism and dicipline, from men who
have long ago learned it on the field of battle.
And with a new citizenry and a new youth,
trained to appreciate and respect their govern
ment, we have little to fear within our borders
of Fascism or Communism. And we can thank
our God again, for the peace within our Nation
and with other Nations, when all the world
seems to have again gone mad, with hate and
strife and mis-trust. May our leaders not fail us
here, but keep the troop trains rolling, filled
with rehabilitated youth in the peace time uni
form of the U.S.A.

“UNLESS YOU HELP YOURSELF"
a group of farmers at the re
A DDRESSING
cent New York state fair, State Senator
George Regers said, “Unless you help yourself,
no one can do anything for you.”
No advice could be simpler, sounder or wiser.
The farmer who looks to some outside agency
such as the govenment to bring America pros
perity and solve his problems, is doomed to dis
appointment -and he should be. Fortunately for
agriculture, this type of fanner is in the min
ority. During the fast few decades farmers have
done a great deal to help themselves through co
operative marketing associations. It speaks well
for the farmers’ foresight and intelligence that
during the depression the established coopera
tives registered great advances in both their
membership and their influence.
Yes, farmers are helping themselves and they
are gradually achieving the success they de
serve.—Industrial News Review.

could be stopped—simply by doing away with
‘short’ or ‘hedge’ selling.
