Show Some Things Worth Thinking About jl if You Know Truth You Live, if Not You Die ! Read and Ponderj ' Murray Smelter Reopens After a shutdown of nearly two months, operations were resumed at the Murray, Utah, plant of the American Smelting & Refining company com-pany last month. About 300 men were given employment at the lead plant. A sufficient tonnage of ore has accumulated at the plant to virtually virtual-ly Insure continuous operations until next summer, in the opinion ot William J. O'Connor, manager of the Utah department of the smelting company. Interruptions of scheduled shipments ship-ments of ore and concentrates from Australia and South America by 'he war caused closing of the plant. The war has made shipping space scarce, as ores now must vie with other cargo as ship ballast from foreign countries. . Added to this condition is the fact that the price of lead has not been permitted to advance in relation re-lation to mining costs. As a result there has been no increase in the production of lead from western mines, which could ship to the Murray Mur-ray plant. Many marginal lead producers throughout wejtern United Unit-ed States are still idle, when they could be adding this vital to the national defense effort, if ihe price of lead were permitted to keep pace with costs. 1. "Pay all your debts while you can. 2. Collect all that is owing you, while you can. 3. Get an acre of land somewhere within 25 miles of a city where you can grow enough to eat. Get this off the main highway high-way so you won't be too much in line of starving, ravaging hordes from the city. 4. Learn to live simply on corn meal and cabbage and soy beans, and prepare to raise most of this yourself. 5. Talk these things over with your neighbors and get them to help each other when the crash comes. Buy together, work tog :ther and if possible, sell together ever so often. 6. Keep, through all, a firm faith in Divine Providence and in the ultimate triumph of right. You may lose everything every-thing you have and be hungry, ragged . and cold before the storm passel, but on thj other side of it all is somewhere, sometime, som-etime, a bright new day for humanity the brightest the world ha3 ever known. England will emerge 'fro n this war as "a sort of poverty stricken bourgeoise semi-Socialist, semi-statist nation, with i: those below moving up and the aristocracy ended." j Sir Phillip Gibbs, K. B, E., journalist aod author of more than 5o books, has sopredicted. On Englands future he said: "After the war we of Engl tnd will for a number of years have to pool all our resourcas in such moves as more public works and a big scheme of colonization to prevent unemploy-' ment. "The old ca?te system we've had for so long will be done away with but I'm not going to shed any tears over that. The Lords will 1 ave neither money nor estates taxa- . tion starting at 50 per cent on very moderate incomes and going up to 60 or 70 per cent on as little as 3000 pounds !j (15,000) will take care of that." i Men in 1 vvinn, rarv! i I lniiUitv6 lsra'jof ; Utah J the sales of liq ior for the minth of September, I941, were ; double the sales of th-? si'Ti ! m nt'i last year, jfn Joold j cash this state is sp ;nding S14 p3r capita for liquor. There will be over 4J,000 deaths from auto accidents this year, and most of these have th?ir roots in the liquor traffic. JCinnot something some-thing be done aboutit? ; For a long time we hive believed with a Lib'rty Maga- iine editorial that most fiction storiesitoday 'are'jfrivolous- i rind no wonder, as it says that over a period of two Jyears the : production of fiction stories his dropped fifty 'per cent. A ' " n ! ! report from the census bur?au reflects that thereis a hunger i for nourishment of the human spirit. And so it comes from i all side that the people have "a hunger for the real things of the spirit and are yearning for spiritual teachers who can j sepirate themselves from the world long enough to feed them. j What is all the space in newspapers and migazine3, now given to silly frivolities, an 1 liquor and beer and cigarette ads was J devoted to pure and alluring truth that rose above skepti cism and materialism. The famous Gallup Poll sent out the following question: "Would you be willing to pay three cents of every dollar of ! I your income until youare60in order to get a pension from j the govern'neni of $50 a month after you are f0?" This went to all parts of the United States and the result wi3 as ! follows: !
