keep our public schools the better off we will be.
[In The Good Old Summer Time!
It is only about two months now until the first Dem-
ocratic primary, and local politicos are beginning to pass
out a few cards and let the dear people know they are
really campaigning.
Transportation facilities will not permit candidates
to canvass the county, so do not expect them to make a
personal call at your home, but you will be seeing them
on the streets or in the stores. In some cases there
are a number of seekers, so you will have an option. Of

Regristrants confused!
Registrants under the Selective Service System are
really in a "fuddle" over their status in the draft. So
many conflicting statements have been issued by high
officials both of the Selective Service, and the Manpower
Commission until the man in the steet, or on the farm
cannot make heads nor tails of it, One day the head ot
Some big agency will issue a seeminly plain statement,
but the next day it will cite several exceptions to the j
case until it still is about as clear as lake water.
And not only are the registrants confused by these con-
flicting statements, but the local boards themselves in
many instances don't know what it is all about. How-
ever one board member was heard to say a few days a-
go that his board would not call any 30 year old men, or
over until it was proven further that such men are need-
ed. It was his opinion that the armed forces have just
about all the men they need af, the present time.

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS..
tv
"Guess we're pretty lucky in our town,
Judge, that we don't have the youth
problem you read about in other places."
"Don't know as you can call it lucky,
Harold... we saw it coming with the war
and we did something about It before it hit
us. We gave our 'teen age youngsters the
recreational facilities they needed and really
wpnted. Those familiar with this wartime
problem know that young folks go to ptacca
they shouldn't only when the proper places
are not provided for them. Young people
always want ' • with others of their own
age...want ntypeof entertainment.
Town after i , lias found out that once
these simple wants are met, the problem
is well on its way to being licked."
"Guess I didn't really know how far-
sighted our town really is, Judge. If we
hadn't looked ahead we wouldn't have had
anybody or anything to blame but ou tvet
would we?"
