And now comes Music Week and
it does seem that it is a good thing
for a nation, in a war-maddened
world to observe it.
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

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.
