CIVILIZATION

the summer and politics has the same
tendency, more especially in such
metropolitan area? as San Antonio.
We have even observed that people
get somewhat excited over politics,
or other controversial matters, in
Kerrville. Who was it that said:
“Whom the gods would destroy JJiey
first make mad?" The old (bird who-
ever that satd it knew hi* stuff. The
cool head usually wins in any con-
test.
We have often observed that the
man who allows his feelings to run
so hot that the blood flushes through
the veins at a greatly accelerated
speed, soon becomes unfit for sane
and sound thinking. We should think
strongly and act firmly but keep
cool and collected through it all.
The cool head ip able to wisely
direct his own and others’ operations
but the hot head usually hums up his
energies without accomplishing any-
thing. The cool head can plan and
then carry on with his plans.
It would be well for us all to re-
member that every man has a right
to his own views upon politics, re-
ligion or any other questions, If we
foolishly deny him this right and de-
mand that he think only as you do,
that ia a sure sign that you are an
unreasonable hothead.
“Keep sweet and keep moving,’’
some have advised. We would add:
Keep cool, especially during hot sum-
mers and hot campaigns.—Kerrville

Timid souls have heen more than
depressed, they have been frighten-

they fear may dominate the world

In the shadow, they loot- sight of

They lose sight of the fact that we

They lose sight of the fact that the
titantic struggle now in nrogress is
dissipating rapidly the accumulated
war reserves of Germany, while we
begin a belated but no less sure
accumulation for preparedness. Eight
months of continuous warfare has not
strengthened Germany, however
much it may have seasoned her troops

So when you can do that—and get a
better buy in the bargain—why not
step right up to the head of the class?
You won’t find a bigger car any-
where at ita price, measured bumper

heavy and stout.
Just look around you. Can you name
a sleeker, trimmer, neater, smarter-
looking car than this 1940 Buick?

brand-new smoothness?
You won’t find cooling systems
