(Tell the wrangle over wages
hear much loud
to pay, but U you
have noticed there is" very little
being said about ability to produce,
vet we all know that ona factor ia
just ae vital as the other in our
economy. They must find almost
equal reflection in both wages and
prices. We are led to believe that
the term “Ability to Produce" might
be the wrong phrase. It should be
called willingness to produce. It
ehould be expected that the many
modern method* should have greatly
increased the productivity of work-
ers, yet Henry Ford II is authority
for the statement that the productiv-
ity of workers in hie plant declined
34 per cent durfng the war period.
The manufacturers can only pay
higher wagee, if the workers are
g willing to make it possible for them
to increase their production, or else
raise the selling prices of the pro-
duct The one thing that has
brought to this nation the highest
living standard in the world has been
the ability to produce more and bet-
ter goods at lower prices. High
wages can come only from greater
production and lower cost. And, as
we see it, the solution is very simple.
It will only take two things to ac-
complish this. Management must
give an honest day’* pay, and that
labor must give an honest day’s work
in exchange.
The idae of ratting on the job and
failing to do the work, assigned them,
then because the worker happens to
belong to a labor union, call a strike
and tie up a great industry if the
Manager should dare to fire the in-
efficient worker off the job, is un-
American, unjust and undemocratic.
Henry Ford once said that the man
who can earn $60 a day that this
amount i» not too much to pay him,
but the man who does not earn $1.00
per day that amount would be too
much. This is certainly true. We
are all just worth what we can earn
from earnest and faithful service.
If the worker would strive to see
how much he could produce instead
of seeing how little he can produce
get-
ting something for nothing if we are
to survive. What we need in this
country ie old fashioned honesty. No
matter what office the individual
may hold in the church, if he refuses
to pay hie honest debts he is forsak-
ing the fundamental principles that
Christ brought* to this earth, and the
principles upon which he founded his
Church. God said In the beginning
that man should live by the sweat of
his brow, and that law has held good
through the ages.
We are glad to welcome Miss Kath-
ryn Whatley as a teacher in our

feel sure she will make us a great
teacher.

Safety Slogan*
It is every bit as necessary to walk
safely as it is to drive safely.
The best way to meet the stress of
modern business is to keep oneself
fit at all times. The first step in
keeping fit is to eat right and to get
the right kind of exercifas. To keep
fit, keep well.
The Mst way to reduce traffic ac-
cidents and fatalities in this country
is to drive safely and to Walk safely.
Both are necessary. Both are equally
important.
Relief At Last.

cause it goes right to the seat of the

PLEASE MOM,
NOT TONIGHT
How often have you heard those words?
Poor lighting fatigues the youngsters—makes them tired and
dull! Homework becomes a tedious task under poor
lighting conditions.
Eyesight is priceless ... but good lighting is cheap. Make
certain that you have proper lighting throughout your home.
Wherever the children read or study, good light should be
on hand to help. See to it that the light is close enough
to their work—be sure they don’t face a glaring light.
With electricity so cheap, never be without GOOD LIGHT.

Or
Camp Near \
Dew Planned
The following has been sent The
Recorder for publication:
The citizenship of Freestone Coun-
ty has a chance to contribute to the
building of a sanatorium or rest camp
near Dew, by free will offerings.
Acreage has been purchased for
this purpose, one and one half miles
west of Dew, a secluded woodland,
with many natural, scenic attractions
and advantages.
Work on the project is already in
progress, clearing the undergrowth
and excess timber, fencing' and get-
ting ready for landscaping and gar-
dening.
No public drive for soliciting funds
will be made in promoting this cause,
but it is expressly desired, that any
person wishing to Help get this work
under way as soon as possible, will
make a free will gift to the building
fund. Any help in this will be grate-
fully acknowledged and appreciated.
In this effort an attempt is being
made to arouse the interests of the
public and of all Christian people to
meet a great need of the hour in do
ing something to alleviate the suf-
ferings of humanity in a field that
is sorely neglected, and which in-
spires so little sympathy and under-
standing in all of us.
In all probability, due to the fact
that it seems so little can be done to
help such sufferers—namely, per
sons whose lives are becoming ship-
wrecked by one cause or another, by
over-taxed nervous systems, because
of the press of business, failure to
observe the simple rules of health
and right living, sorrow and shock
through bereavement or misfortune,
a letting down or giving in to the
strain and ravages of war, the disap-
pointments and common burdens and
failures of life.
The present hazardous situation of
our crowded living quarters, the un-
certainty of the future, the failure
to hold on to the hope we have in
Christ to carry us through these
things, all make up cause why many
persons are falling victims daily to
the ailment commonly known as
nervous breakdown, or nervous dis-
order, that can so easily lead to ser-
ious consequences despite all the ef-
forts of our best practicing physic-
ians, lead to permanent disability, or
an otherwise useful life being wast-
ed in confinement in some institution;
not mentioning suffering and loss to
loved ones, and taxpayers.
It is with true understanding of the
great need In this field that the
sponsors of this project are giving
much thought and prayerful consider-
ation to doing everything possible tc
provide a place for temporary rest
and relaxation for persons before
they get to the breaking point in
sush cases, by working out the best
plan possible in the building of this
sanatorium or rest camp for the
benefit and comfort of many persons,
not only in this field, but for the age<
and homeless, and for rendering first
aid to those who are unable to secure
medical attention.
I Sponsors desire to build, a home
founded on Christian love for human-
ity with a hospitable and home-like
atmosphere, where one can have
plenty of out-door attractions and
activities, with quiet seclusion. It i:
planned to have all the things that gc
to make a private family happy and
succesful as far as it is possible.
The acreage is well drained, new
fertile land, spacious enough for any
expansion in activities, for having its
own vegetable garden, orchard, can-
ning plant, poultry, etc.
The present need is for help on a
fund for building facilities. Since
the rapid growth and success of the
project depends largely on voluntary
1 help of interested persons, as the ef-
I fort is to be carried on by free will
offerings, work of sponsors and
patrons, and a minimum charge for
food and care.
Since it could prove a source of
help iand comfort to your own son
or daughter, wife or husband in time
of need, to be cared for by under-
standing sympathetic friends, who
are patient and willing to take time
out to listen to over-burdened hearts,
with an earnest desire to help them
regain health and courage to go
in life.
This appeal is being made to the
hearts of local citizens, to make some
effort in this direction, however small
We pay cur dollars and dimes toi
carry on programs in distant fields.
Why not give to a cause we know to
be a worthy one, we can watch grow
and enjoy the fruits of.
This werk is being done under the
direct supervision of Mrs. Lillian H
Lane, Teague, Texas, Rt. 2. Any
help for the project will be received,
and acknowledged by her.
