ADAMEK, Assistant Editor Subscription Rate, per year in advance $2.50 Advertising Rates Furnished on Application ' s Sympathy Is Appreciated pROM ANTWERP, BELGIUM, comes the story of Frans Van' Tongerloo, 23 Kallement, Mommelgem. He had as a regular customer a man who he says proved the best guinea pig one could imagine for testing human relation-ship principles. He called on him twice a week and usually re-ceived a small order, but always he was sneered at with such remarks 'Another salesman, more salesmen than customers. I won't order much today." Some-times this customer kept Mr. Tongerloo waiting upwards of two hours before he would give him attention, although he knew full well that there were other customers to be called on. If Mr. Tongerloo even so much as mentioned that he had other visits to make, he became furious and responded with angry remarks. Naturally, Mr. Tongerloo hated to call on the man and he had learned to dislike him intensely. ; Then one day it was all changed. When he Carnegie paid his usual call he received the usual small order and hurriedly as the man said his wife was in the hospital and he had to go to her. Well! That put an entirely different complexion on the matter. Instead of resenting the man's attitude, Mr. Tongerloo, felt sympathetic toward him. Perhaps he had had burdens to carry at the other times he called, and about which Mr. Tonger-loo knew nothing. The more he thought about it, the more h sympathized. He had the sudden desire to help this man, and all feeling of dislike was dissipated. Finally he went to a florist's and bought some flowers for 25 francs, about half a dollar in American money. These he took himself to the hospital where he was permitted to visit the patient for a few minutes of pleasant conversation. The result? Two weeks later when he called on the erstwhile disagreeable customer, he was greeted with "At last you're here, my friend. I want to thank you for the happiness you gave my wife." Then he invited Mr. Tongerloo in for a drink and gave him an order twice as large as he had ever given him. Saying he knew Mr. Tongerloo's time was too valuable to waste, he then bade him goodbye in a warm and friendly manner. It has been like that ever since, and the orders are still being increased. All because Mr. Tongerloo expressed the sympathy he felt for a' man whose wife was ill. UTAH STATE FAIR PLANS .TAKING SHAPE Plans for the 1952 Utah State Fuir are rapidly being rounded out. The dates, September 13th through September 21st, have been set for several months. Al-ready many plans for entertain-ment are being made, and the various exhibit buildings are be-ing renovated in preparation of what is predicted to be the great est fair in the history of Utah. This year the state fair is to be combined with an Intermoun-tai- n Industrial Exposition,' and special areas are being set apart for the displays of many of the large industries in the west. It is expected that this show will prove to the people of Utah and the west, the vast expansion of industry in the area during tAe past few years, and also give an idea of the importance of indus-try in the economic life of our people. Again the various military in-stallations throughout the west will be featured, with many new .deas in all branches of the mili-ary set-u- p on display. Utah's ousiness is now being aided thru he employment of over 60,000 people in these various installa-ion- s, and will be the exhibits ,t these activities that will be shown. Plans are also under way to open the fair with an 80 piece military band from the Sixth Army Headquarters. Special equipment will be flown from the coast areas especially to be shown at the fair. In addition exhibit space has been allotted to many of the large national manufacturers and producers, anxious to make the people of this section better acquainted with their products. In 1951, the Utah State Fair reached a high peak in attend-ance that has attracted national attention. Efforts are to better the record in 1952. KU KLUX ATTIRE ... In e, S.C., two officers model robes need by some of the 10 K.K.K. members seized by the F.B.I, for flogging-- white man and woman. ABOVE THE By LYTLE HULL PRESIDENTIAL election PTHE only 49 percent of the eligible voters went to the poll. The principal reason for this selfish conduct wis the theory that Dewey was "sure to be elected". So why bother! But times have changed. And howl Four years of utter Incom-petence, of graft and greed and scandal, and of a foreign "policy" which has carried us literally to within sight of national ruin, have even sobered the minds of the boys who have wallowed in the seeming-ly endless flow of gravy from Tru-man's welfare pot. The farmers voted the welfare state In 1048. But all those prom-ises didn't pan out and were nev-er meant to. You only fool a farmer once with the same line of baloney. Union labor was supposed to go all-o- for Truman In '48 because of the Taft-Hartle- y Law, which they had been told was anti-labo- r. But millions of members knew the truth about that law, and voted against Truman. Millions more will do so in November and because of that law. Many ardent church members voted for Honest Harry In 1948. Scandals upon scandals In his ad-ministration have awakened them. .But in the opinion of this col-umn the great Republican majority in November is coming from the 51 per cent of slap-happ- y citizens who j didn't take the trouble to vote in 1948 but who are now frightened and with cause at the ghastly con-sequences of their former avoidance of duty. Our country has been placed in grave danger through a seemingly utter ignorance of money and fi-nance, and because of a foreign policy which at times has seemed . almost suicidal. In 1948 we did not face the same dangers that we do today. But the last four years of the Fair Deal administration have J changed the entire picture. We are t frightened if we have any brains j and fear Is going to bring out a lot ' . of votes! ' versary of the late Horace M. Seal.

For drinking water we had an out-side pump, and the boys would take turns bringing in a bucket ol water. In It was a huge dipper from which everyone drank. I can also remember when mother put some water on wood ashes to make lye for soft soap for washing clothes and lye for removing hulls from corn for hominy. From Elisabeth, Greene, Scranton, Pa.: I remember when the rural mailman used to get to our house about noon. He would put the feed bag on the horse and come inside to have a cup of coffee with us. From E, E. Meredith, Fairmont, W. Va.: I remember when rail-road trains were referred to as "the cars"; when clergymen, politicians and gamblers wore black plug hats; when Little Eva would pass through the audience at "Uncle Tom's Cabin" selling her photographs; when lovely brown biscuits were baked In iron skil-lets with iron lids whjch were placed under the grate with red hot coals under and above. From the Old Cuss, Chicago; I re- - member when a barrel of dill pickles stood in the back of the store and the great big ones sold for two cents. I was always dousing the storekeeper's cat in the brine of the pickle barrel. From BUI (Scotty) Hunsaker, Padu-ca- h, Ky.: Pa used to whittle splinters every winter night in the kitchen so he would have some-thing with which to start the kitch-en fire quickly the next morn-ing.

V., re-cently discussed a problem In his editorial columns that has long worried many a country editor whose greatest Interest Is his com-munity and its betterment. How many home town readers can apply these words to their own commu-nity T "One of the puzzling traits of our community and we suppose of all small communities is that public meetings for the purpose of discuss-ing Important civic problems are poorly attended. Last Thursday eve-ning no more than ISO people were in attendance at the panel discus-- . slon at the Luray high school which went Into all phases of the school situation In Page county. Never-theless when this problem is placed before the public for a decision . those who have shown no Interest will demand, and probably get, a big audience for their opinions. "Evtryont, of tours, ii tn-Hl- ld to thtir opinion. But first tbty should bant an opinion bsstd on tsutbtntic information snd sound judgment after study of tb facts. Snap judg-ment is tb path to error. Good judgment must b forged quiet-ly, with realism and a gtnuin de-sire to arrive at a logical and Practical solution in tb light of the facts. We know of no way to accomplish this except to work ' for itand this is no easy task. "Well Informed people are moti-vated not only by what they read but by what they hear, see and talk. Reading is merely a means to 1 an end. It Is essential but it must be supplemented by a genuine in-terest in the subject and there is no better way of evaluating that in terest than to count the noses at a public meeting- - like that held last Thursday night." The Big Shortage In the Brldgewater Tribune, Brldgewater, S.D., Editor Roy H. McKoWn commented on his com-munity's greatest shortage: "It looks like one of the greatest shortages to be encountered In the Brldgewater area in the year 1952 will be young men. We'll hope that the year brings enough promise of peace that before its end the trend will be back home rather than away." That hope is being echoed weekly in the grassroots press of the na-tion. Similar Thoughts Somewhat along the same Une, the editor of the East Texas Light, Tenaha, Texas, commented on his community's problem of keeping its youth at home: ". . . We are spending large sums in building better schools ' and colleges, which it as it should be, to educate our boys and girls for th better things of life and to bold better positions, but or do-ing so little toward advancing . programs and plant whereby they can obtain a job, create a business, or do other things to mail a living at borne, thus forc-ing them to go to larger fields. "We hope the Club (Business-men) will take as one of its proj-ects for the year to encourage more of our young men to stay among us and help to make our community more prosperous and, with their knowledge, help make it a better place to live."
