Business Manager SUBSCRIPTION $1.50 Per Year in Advance Layton Marshall, Editor and Proprietor St the Post WHEN AGE CREEPS UP, SMALL TOWN OFFERS FRIENDLINESS TO MOVE, to change from one home to another, from one locality to another that is far away, has a different meaning to those of different ages. To youth, moving means change that is adventure and the distance to that place but lends to it an appealing enchantment. Those who have passed the zenith of life are living largely in the past. To them old ties, old associations have welded strong chains that are not easily broken. The old house, like its occupants, has passed its best days, but it is home. Its rooms have echoed the merry prattle of little children your children, now with homes and families of their own in distant places. Its lighted windows and homey atmosphere have welcomed you after the days labors. Its walls have shielded you from the storms. In its library you put your finger on any desired book. You knew just where your pipe would be. Your slippers were there beside your favorite chair, inviting you to a comfortable evening. . Yes, the old house was home, despite the changes the ceaseless movement of a great city had wrought all about it. Strange faces had taken the place of the old neighbors. Today there is no one to whom you wish a cheery good morning; no one with whom you may enjoy an evenings chat. The faces you see this week are not those you saw last week, or those you will see next week. No, the old home is but now an oasis in a sea of sands of humanity. The locality has changed from one of homes to one of rooming houses, warrens in which reside for a day, a week or a month those to whom home is a meaningless word. The old neighbors have disappeared. Many of them are occupying last resting places in the cemeteries. Others are scattered hither and yon, and now you and the you is me and mine are to go, exchanging the roaring, scurrying metropolitan city for a bungalow amidst the quietude and simple pleasures of a small town, where we hope again to find what we lost neighbors and friends from whom we will receive a cheery good morning. It will be a bit hard to forget the old home, with all the memories that surround it. We go not upon an adventure, but in search of the things the old home once provided the simple pleasures and the smiling, friendly greetings of neighbors. Such things exist in the towns and villages of America. far-aw- 'T'HRIFT is so often the prac-tic- e of pinching pennies so someone else in the family squander the dollars.

THE AMERICAN SYSTEM AND 'THE OLD LADY A FEW YEARS ago I stood one beside a linotype, operator, watching his fingers idle over the keys of the machine he was operatThe ing. I knew his capabilities. plant had, up to a few . weeks before, operated on a piece basis, and each day that man had produced more than twice what he was then producing, but the union had banned piece work and forced a time basis, fixing a minimum the It was company could demand. that daily minimum this operator was producing. John, I asked, were you more tired at the end of a day when you did piece work than you are now, working on time and producing about half the type you did then? Not a bit, he replied, but why should I work faster so the old lady out in Omaha may have a few more dollars to spend? The old lady is dead now. Of the profits that were made, she took none with her on the road she traveled, other than enough to pay for a shroud and casket. A considerable portion of those profits went to provide more machines that meant more jobs for more men to support more homes. Another portion went into a reserve that provided pay for John, and other Johns, during the days of depression, when losses instead of profits were piling up day after day. The remainder is today invested in worthy institutions that are enjoyed by the general public. The little story illustrates the American system of free competition. simplest and most ordinary are often the most difficult to says a writer. Such as the soap bath. The more you gad about, the less chance there is of your being home when opportunity knocks at your door.

BRITISH: NEUTRALITY: Revision Complete concurrence. GERMANS: Fighting Front Frank admissions from Berlin that the attack on Russia was entirely stalled no longer had been withheld as the Germans were finding it necessary to explain to the people the failure of their armies to capture Leningrad, Moscow or the defenses in the Donetz basin. German press announcements blamed entirely the weather. It also was claimed that the Russian defenses, especially around Moscow, were based on the knowledge that the German mechanized army could not operate over fields and through woods on a terrain covered with snow and rain. One communique said: This has forced us to use roads instead of traveling and these roads are literally minefields, especially the shoulders. The defenses around Moscow were described as extremely powerful and intricate, including subterranean tank garages from which Red tanks would dash directly into battle and then circle and their bunkers after firing a few shots, and before the German attacking forces could organize their defense. This system really gave the Russians movable fortifications. The German communique also said they were encountering flame throwers so concealed in the ground that only the nozzles were showing, and which could be operated from a considerable distance with devastating effect. The Russians thus have been able to hold back the Nazi attack, Berlin frankly admitted, though it was claimed that at one point the assault had reached within 31 miles of the borders of Moscow. Nothing was said about Russian claims that her troops were actually taking the offensive at many points. re-ent- er A queen s job includes many things and here the cameraman pictures Queen Elizabeth of England having her shoes fitted? upon visiting a shell factory.

For as the senate had already adopted the same measure, the administrations battle on this vital issue was over. As a vote neared on the measure a warning came from President Roosevelt that its defeat would be evidence to Hitler that the United For a while States is disunited. there were strong indications of a Democratic revolt in the house, as many members were reported to be demanding a firmer presidential stand on defense strikes in return for going along with the Roosevelt foreign policy. When the Presidents warning, in the form of a letter to Speaker Sam Rayburn, was read before the house, it was inferred that assurances were being given that the strike situation would be dealt with and many members were reported to have then fallen in' behind the White House revision plans. Marked by a hectic battle on the issue, the principal fight centered repeal of the combat zone and belligerent port provisions.

The British admiralty announced in a later communique that four more Axis troopships had been sunk, two sailing vessels sent to the bottom, and four other vessels damaged.
