Since man first heard sound he has attempted to arrange it into some semblance of harmony even as he has done color. Throughout countless ages he has chanted and sung his praises to his God, and in oppression and persecution the ag ony of the soul has been recorded in music; long has melody been the medium for the telling of sweet love tales. Too, countless armies have marched to the thrill of martial strains, and have been laid to their last rest to the plaintive call of "Taps.” In daily living perhaps no other one thing has done more to wards increasing its joy than the radio musical programs of the last decade. Verily it is meet and right for a nation to give special heed to this good thing of life. It* has always been an enigma to us why so many folk consider the life of a private soldier or sailor or marine in Uncle Sam’s fighting forces as something of which to be ashamed and not to be aspired to by the better people. Except in time of war of course. Then he does come in for special mention and a bit of glory. That is, 'till the “ cease firing” has sounded and the remnants have been marched home and mustered out. Certainly there can be no better training for the future American citizen than a hitch in any one of the military branches. There the youth is taught clean living, the stooped are made straight, lean fa t tened and the fat thinned. There he learns discipline, something sorely needed by so many youngsters to day. But it is not the knock-down and drag out discipline that we hear of in some foreign countries, but each offender is given a hearing be fore a higher officer and every rule that Is broken is written down in the book so that offense must be taken aforethought. And above all the men come to a realization of the true meaning of patriotism. The pay of the enlisted personnel is not great but it is far more than many a man has earned steadily year in and year out since this hec tic economy of the last decade. And there is always an opportunity for advancement and at the end of a full tenure of service a livable pen sion for the remainder of their years. But if the lad serves only one enlistment he has a training and association that will benefit in whatever work he follows. There would be no place for foreign “ isms" to undermine the land if every American youth had spent a three- year enlistment in the m ilitary serv ice of his country. And what is more should war or invasion come there would be no slaughter of the in nocents because of unpreparedness and lack of training of the man power of the nation. And while we are on this subject of patriotism, nothing does irk us more than these objectors who “ conscientiously” refuse to have their children attending American public schools salute the American flag. I f they live in this country, earn their daily bread within its bor ders, are protected in their pursuit Professional Cards CARL H. COAD A T T O R N E Y -A T -L A W PHONE 31 Nyssa, Oregon L. A.

C L IF F GREER, Pres. of security and happiness by its humane and equitable laws, whether they are native born citizens or foreign then patriotism is their duty and the teaching of growing chil dren a love of the flag and the na tional anthem is one great step in putting the love of the land in the heart of the adult. I i it were in our power to make it so, no one abiding in the sovereignty of these United States would be excused from this duty and all who were con scientious objectors would be invited in no uncertain terms to shake the dirt of the country o ff their feet and get hence with much speed to any country that will let them in and let them there abide. There is room in our country only with the people who wish to keep and perpet uate it as its founders planned. A safe abiding place for democracy. True, the real goal may not have been reached, but neither has the much-publicized millenium and per haps never will be. But the daily e f fort towards the goal has not been wasted, and certainly there is no room in the scheme of things for any type of objector, be they smear ed with red, wear black shirts or brown or none. I f it is not in their hearts to say with all that is in them, “My country right or wrong, but always my country” then the land and its people are better rid of the lot and kaboodle of them. And we are wondering if there ist perchance a storm at sea not too far away since we saw a flock of sea gulls wheeling over the river. ■As though they might have flown before a high wind. Or perchance they didst learn of the fine seed crops the country doest raise and came in to find a square meal. M a rine pickin’s may be getting scarce since the war hast stymied sea go ing traffic so. But what a feast they could have if perchance they broke into the Thompson feed store where they do sell all manner of chick and animal stomach filler-outers. Purina made and of their own blending. And speaking of stomach-filler- outers, the Barney Wilson grocery establishment is tops for human life sustainers for therein one may pur chase all manner of edibles for hu mans and some fine canned foods for the canine population as well. And now that housecleaning time has come and wilt not be put off they do haveeverything from cellar to garret and back to make the task an easier one. And now ist the time to get that old out-moded coal cooker out of thy sight forever, while the house ist already in a turmoil and thy John ist in a mood to do anything al most to get his old rocker back in its place and keep it there. And at the Eder Hardware they do make it easy for thee to put in an electric one. Neat and taking up small space these Norges are, economical to keep clean and wilt turn out tops in baking and cookery of whatever shape and size. A beaver family doest abide not far downstream from a bit of land on the river’s edge the tax collect or doest claim belongs to us, and fond these beasties are of the trees that crowd the waters edge. So much so that in one week they fell ed three big ones that must have taken over a decade to grow. And we in desperation didst threaten to pizen the whole lot of them, but instead didst purchase a can of creosote and didst unstintingly be smear the bark of every bush and tree. So that they were avoided by the beaver clan as though there had been a plague. But we live in hopes that sooner or later our good friend Clyde Long wilt come again with his traps and live catch the maraud ers and ship them to lands that need them and there let them build a permanent if not happy home. But the timbers that go into the making of 4 -square lumber that that Boise Payette lumber doest sell have not felt the sting of the beavers teeth, but have grown straight and strong through many years of for est growth so that when they are felled that man and his beasties may be properly housed. There is no scar nor mar, but each piece is perfect and cut to make building easy. And now the vacation has caught up with us again, ’tis a wise wife who keeps fresh oil and much gas in the family heap at all times for should her John wish to pack up the old kit bag on a moment’s no tice for a dash o ff to the hills and a fishing spot let it not be said that she was not ready. And if the family jalopy is filled up at the Thompson Oil station and kept fill ed up with their good gas and oil. and the trusty grub box kept in or der, then a trip wilt be a pleasure for gas and oil from the Thompson stations do their stuff at all times. And if it is a car that thou art of a mind to get in place of the battered heap in the family garage that hast passed for one for too long a time, then pay a visit to Art Norcott at his garage on Main and Second and let him show thee the new Hudson and then take a ride in it. You'll like that new gear shift on the wheel, w e ll trow. But never wast one called upon to make a trip with the growing brood but what some extra clothing be came an absolute necessity. But wait not until the time hast come to start but pay an early visit to Mrs. Akeson's apparel shop for there she doest have a fine new lot o f slacks and shorts and sport shirts and shoes and overalls and hats and neckerchiefs and everything ima ginable to make a trip o f a day or a month a time of happiness and pleasant memories. But new car or old ’tis the smart guy that hast it given the once over at the Pruyn Garage to make sure of perfect performance at all times. And Ed and his gang can do an overhaul or tinker with the too ambitious horn till all doest perk up again as sweetly as the coo of a turtle dove at twilight. Shop in Nyssa with Journal ad vertisers and ye wilt not waste thy time and thy gas going farther. NEWELL HEIGHTS M. L.
