Show .. I R€€-ffiRRHS * By The Editor • The neKt emergency restriction which should be abolished-and quickly-is this crazy war time, which never was any good for this locality. Unless we get back to nornml time again, we will all be getting up in the middle of the rught during the ensuing winter. • The country is indeed fortunate to have a president like Harry S Truman during this critical period. Our president is a level-Jteadcd businessn1an, who has set his course straight in the middle of road, anci who is eliminating the frills and fancies in government, built up in the past 12 years, just as fast as he .can without disturbing post-'\•;ar economy. The whole natiOn is united in support of our chief executive, Jordan School District Lists Teachers for Ensuing Term THE MIDVALE City Will Have Taxicab Service AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER Published at MIDVALE, UTAH Volume 12-Number 35 * * -I: * Residents of Midvale and ¥icinity will have taxicab service in the very near future, when W S (Stan) James. proprietor of the Midvale Hotel will start a taxi concern shortly after Sept l.

Midvale Wins Farm Bureau Baseball Title • • You can expose a person to advertising, but you can't make him like it. Everyone hates to have advertising forced upon their attention. Newspaper advertising is never resented when it enters a home, because newspaper advertising can be read or passed by. It is reader's choice. No other advertising medium can make such a claim. • We would like to remind folks that The Sentinel is not a real estate agency. We have people coming in or caUing up all during the week asking if we "have any houses or apartments for rent." While we do occasionally have For Rent ads in the paper, we positively will not give information about these ads until they are published. Some individuals-total strangers -actually get sore when we refuse to give them advance dope on ads to be run in Friday's paper. How can we do this, and still be fair to all the other people who want places to rent? • Overheard on the Midvale bus: "One consolation is that these buses won't be so dam crowded when girdles come ~ack.n • Dear Editor: "My parents have bet>n sending me The Sentinel each week, and you will never know just how much it means to me to be able to read about what is l1appening in the Jordan district. In fact, I could define your paper as ·morale builder' of the first degree. "I have been here with the mwy for 6 weeks now, and ha vc been so busy that I haven't had time to have written sooner."

THE LOW DOWN FROM IDCKORY GROVE One thing our USA could do, and pronto, is to sit down and dope out where we will be coming out 10 years hence, if we keep p~ing in more of our time and money taking ca.re of folks in foreign countries versus our own folks here in Montana and Kentucky and South Carolina and 45 other states. It is okey to be a Christian and think about your neighbor, and help if you can, but it is not being a Christian or having horse-sense to neglect your own family and let it hustle for itself-or go hungry. We may be nearer the bottom of the barrel than we think. And when we do hit bottom, what country will offer us a loanJ or present us a gift? Once we are on our uppers, other nations will give us the cold shoulder-which is hwnan nature. Why didn't the guy, they will say, have some gumption when he was flush instead of acting like his sock was a miJc deep, and had no bottom. WJ1en some foreign country-except Finland-sends us a check and pays up, it is gonna make a man bitin' a mountain lion, look puny and sick-as news.
