A geod time for the Inauguration of a community leisure-time project Is in the autumn or early winter when outside work in gardens and fields is at a minimum, and when, on the other hand, some of the sports and amusements which occupy occu-py people during the summer months are not available. WHAT TO DO FIRST f Let those who have the germ of the plan in mind call a general meeting, urging everyone to come, so that ' from the beginning, the project may be a genuine community commu-nity project. It should never be thought that the activity is to be merely a temporary one, but on the contrary it should be planned for permanency. At the first meeting it will be necessary, after the purpose pur-pose of the meeting has been discussed, dis-cussed, to elect officers, since a permanent per-manent organization must be conducted con-ducted in a business-like manner. Nevertheless, the organization should be kept as simple as possible, the officers consisting, probably, of a permanent chairman ("permanent" that is, for a year), a secretary and a treasurer. Some funds will be required, re-quired, which should be raised by local entertainments or in some other oth-er simple manner. From the beginning be-ginning the organization should be strictly self-supporting,1 and if funds are slender they must be eked out by individual and group effort At the first meeting a committee of persons who are not afraid of work should be appointed (or elected elect-ed as the community may choose) to make a survey which will show, among other things what are the major interests of the community and what agencies already exist which can be counted upon to help. It is of the utmost importance that the program finally outlined shall consist of activities which will appeal strongly to every major group in the community: mat is, to men and to women, to boys and girls, to young people as a class, to older people as a class, to the young-marrieds, to those interested in sports, in music, in drama, in serious study, in politics poli-tics or in purely social affairs. It requires great tolerance, tact and genuine human kindness to keep a large number of people working work-ing together in harmony, hence the executives and the committee members mem-bers should be chosen from among the best-liked and the most impartial impar-tial men and women available. NOT A SPORADIC ATTEMPT Unless dans are made from the beginning for a long-time project it is orobable that the initial entnusiasm will evaDorate and the project will never get beyond the incipient stage. Therefore, the very first plans submitted sub-mitted to the community must in clude a group of seasonal projects, closely overlapping: bucn, lor ex-srrmle. ex-srrmle. as a series of plays or con certs in which the local talent fig ures, to be given to raise necessary ftmrfa: following these may come suggestions for garden groups per- haps neighborhood garaens u me community is suburban; for 4-H clubs and Boy Scout and Girl Scout organizations; for community sports iiph as bowline, tennis, badminton volley ball preferably types of snorts which will involve large groups of people; for county fairs; for anvthine. in fact m wnicn me entire community will have an in terest.

Said Adolf in disgust; "You'd better fetch a doctor And get one I can trustl" A doctor came a running, And cried, "You sick! Ah, me! This news is most amazing : I thought YOU couldn't be!" "No small talk," barked Der Fuehrer, Fueh-rer, "Just get to work, and quick! I'm just as dazed as you are , To find I CAN be sick!" "What seems to be the matter?" The doctor did Implore; ' "You're asking me!" snapped Adolf- "That's what you're summoned for!" , , "Stick out your tongue," the doctor Requested (and we quote); Der Fuehrer sadly did so . . . And, boy, was that a COAT! " It plainly showed a fever, And stomach all upset; "It was that Russian dressing, And other things he 'et.' " It showed grave indigestion. And bile disturbance, too; It showed amazing symptoms Of ailments far from few. It showed clear indications Of major gluttony Of ulcerous ambitions And chronic treachery. It showed some bladder trouble (No blight could that tongue hide); "You're spleen's bad," said the doctor, doc-tor, "Your trouble's deep Inside!" "Your arches they are falling, Your kidneys aren't good . . . I don't think you've been doing Exactly as you should!" - Der Fuehrer's eyes were bulging bulg-ing His nerves seem torn apart And now the doctor whispered, "I'll listen to your heart" He listened and he listened, He listened everywhere, He listened most intently But heard no ticking there! The doctor said: "Your heart sir. . . I hear no best alas!" And Adolf answered, sneering, "I have no heart, you ass!" The doctor was befuddled, He took another look At Adolf s tongue deep coated And wrote this for the book: "His uniform this patient Once said he'd never doff, But one thing I can tell him THAT COAT HE MUST TAKE OFFI" The Russians captured a carload of iron crosses marked "For presentation pres-entation after the capture of Moscow" Mos-cow" the other day.

Americans Amer-icans are complacent and cocky enough without trying to provide an air raid signal with an entertainment entertain-ment motif. It is the most cockeyed suggestion sugges-tion so far made.

L its: o (Released by Weitern Newspaper U nion.l A YEAR HAS PASSED, AT SEA ARE THE SHIPS A YEAR AGO illness confined me to a hotel room, through the windows win-dows of which I looked out on the waters of the broad Pacific. I watched the constantly moving panorama on a rainbow pier the procession of cars and pedestrians, the platforms filled with dancers or with religious revivalists or, at times, with both. ' There was evidence evi-dence only of the amusement or occupations of a peaceful people. But beyond that pier was a mora Interesting and impressive sight There, swaying at anchor or moving mov-ing in from, or out to sea, was a magnificent battle fleet, the pride of America. There were the great battle bat-tle wagons, the aircraft carriers, the cruisers and the always-restless destroyers, with an occasional sub, with its strange shape and devilish purpose, to add to the interest I knew the name of no single one of those fighting ships. I did not know which battle wagon was named for which state, which cruiser was named for which city, or the name of what hero was carried by any destroyer. But each one had an individuality and though each of its class looked much like all others oth-ers of that class, I soon learned to distinguish one from another. They seemed always on the alert Always mere was smoke from their escape valves. Their crews were moving to and from shore, and officers' offi-cers' gigs passed from one ship to another. That fleet was an Inspiring sight It was something more than great masses of steel. It was steel, plus men, and the men made lt the soul of America. The ships and the crews were the guardians of the peace , and pleasures of those people on the pier, and of the people all up and down the nation. It represented the might and the pride of a great nation na-tion my nation. As I watched any one of them weigh anchor and sail out to sea, to disappear beyond the horizon, I could imagine it going to meet an enemy my enemy seeking to destroy de-stroy the peace and liberties of a nation my nation. When, after hours or days, that ship returned, I could Imagine its purpose of destruction de-struction accomplished an enemy destroyed. I am again writing within a stone's throw of the Pacific. There is the same panorama to be seen on the rainbow pier, the same lire of cars and pedestrians, the same groups of dancers and religious enthusiasts, but the ships are gone. This time I do not have to imagine. imag-ine. I know they have gone to meet an enemy my enemy and our enemyon" ene-myon" the far side of the broad Pacific. It is because they are gone that I have no fear of that enemy reaching me on the American shore of that ocean. It is because they are gone that the cars and pedestrians, pedestri-ans, the dancers and religious extorters ex-torters are still found on rainbow pier. The might and pride of America is in the Far East to destroy that enemy who so treacherously attacked at-tacked a peace-desiring nation. SHIPYARD TROUBLES SHIPYARD OWNERS on the West coast are between the devil and the deep blue Pacific. They were forced to sign a "closed shop" agreement agree-ment with the A. F. of L., under which they must discharge any employee em-ployee who fails to pay his dues to the union, when failure to pay has been reported to the company. Now the employees walk out to force the re-employment of men the union says must be fired. Employers find it a case of "damned if you do, and damned if you don't" In the meantime, mean-time, government war orders for badly needed ships are tied up, and we are still at war. FEDERAL PAYROLL ON OCTOBER 31 there were on the federal government's civilian payrolls a total of 1,512,428 employees, employ-ees, an increase of 24,503 over September. Sep-tember. The pay of these employees employ-ees for October amounted to $235,-855,055. $235,-855,055. That October number was two-thirds greater than the peak reached during World War I, and at that time we were not in the war. A litUe less government might be a good thing. MONOPOLIES CONGRESS passes legislation to prevent monopolies in commodities and also passes legislation to create tabor, monopoly. The "closed shop" that forces every worker in an industry in-dustry to pay for the privilege of working is a monopoly. LICENSE PLATES CALIFORNIA is saving the cost of the metal involved in supplying 1942 automobile license plates by the use of a small 1942 strip fastened to the plate. The saving effected means thousands of dollars to the taxpayers, and many thousands of pounds of greatly needed metal. For 1943 why should not all states use a windshield sticker? The savings would run into millions. That is one of the countless ways te reduce taxe J |
