THE ROCKETS RED GLARE
Independence Day is a serious
affair this year. Not in a long
time have we Americans been
brought to so keen a realization
of the unique quality of the life
that this country is privileged to
enjoy. So ‘Fourth of July cele-
brations’ ’ and the traditional
“shootin’ off firecrackers” are
likely to yield first place to meas-
ured consideration of the real
meaning of American indepen-
dence. .
It’s interesting to notice m this
connection that the actual ma-
terial needs of our defense pro-
gram are making it necessary for
all of us to “fall in step” with
this new approach. For the Unit-
ed! States is “keeping its powder
dry”—not shooting it off indis-
criminately to advertise a nation-
al holiday.
In New York City, for example,
reporters discovered that all but
a tiny portion of the pyrotechni-
•cal out put of companies in the
field is now being devoted to the
nation’s defense program. Fire-
works companies are making -sig-
nal lights, smoke bombs, hand
grenades, trench mortar shells,
and various other flare and ex-
plosive devices for our armed forc-
es. Further than that, we are re-
minded that most of the rest of
the world is on fire when we learn
that imports of firecrackers from
China, main foreign source, have
been virtually cut off.
“No time and few materials for
fireworks—we ’re working 24 hours
a day for the Army and Navy,”
says one big company. Like many
other companies and industries
who have turned away from peace-
time products to go “all out” in
the national -emergency, the fire-
works folk are putting the wel-
fare of the whole country first.
And that’s the best possible
insurance that there will be a real
Simplicity in Swim Suits
I hear America si ting, the varied carols 1 hear,
Those of mechanics, each one singing as it should be blithe and
strong,
The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam,
The mason singing his as he makes ready for work or leaves off work.
The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat, the deckhand
singing on the steamboat deck,
The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, the hatter singing as
he stands,
The wood-cutter's song, the ploughboy on his way in the morning,
or at noon intermission or at sundown,
The delicious singing of the mother, or of the young wife at work,
or of the girl sewing or washing. ««••••#
CJ O SANG WALT WHITMAN. He sang of America and
O of a tradition of honest toil that is as American as The
Star Spangled Banner. He called his song “I Hear America
Singing,” because in this country the workers are in every
walk of life, even among the richest. _ No idle rich can win
American respect. It is to the industrious, in whatever posi-
tion, that America pays traditional honor.
No caste system hinders American youth from the pursuit
of burning ambition to fight his way to the top; no aristocracy
clutters the pages of American history; no dictator’s iron heel
drags labor to the level of slavery.
To Americans, labor is all-important, all-inclusive. All
income groups take pride in the knowledge that their work,
their job of earning a living is what makes democracy click—
is the solid backbone of a great republic.
As the nation once more pays tribute to this great force
which is labor, the words of Walt Whitman’s poem, written
over eighty years ago, sound what could well be a theme-song
of “the American way”—1941 style.
A picnic honoring George Wil-
liams, and sponsored by the
Methodist young people Avas held
at Lake iMjcClellan Tuesday night.
The group started gathering at
the church at 7 o’clock and went
by cars to the lake. Everyone
brought his desired, supper and it
Avas spread immediately after
they reached the lake. FolloAving
the picnic supper, games Avere
played, but due to the threaten-
ing weather, the group presented
George Avith a gift of a military
kit, sang their good night song and
Avere dismissed early.

“POETRY” NOT ACCEPTABLE
As deeplv as the publishers of
this paper sympathize Avith all per-
sons who suffer sorrow in the
death of a. loved one, Ave cannot
accept for publication verses writ-
ten in praise or memory of these
loved ones.
We received such a contribution
this Aveek Avhich Avas much better
than the average of these produc-
tions, but if Ave Avere to accept one
we Avould be compelled to accept
all. Some of these, though ex-
ressing the deepest and most ten-
der emotions on the part of the
Avriters, mee't none of the elements
of real poetry. While to us there
is no form of expression as beau-
tiful as real poetry, there is no
form so grating on the sensibili-
ties as crude, imitations of poetry.
Long ago, therefore, Ave adopted
the rule of declining to accept for
publication the productions of
amateur poets. We have rarely
broken that ruffe. We hope, there-
fore, that those avIio submit “po-
etry” for publication in this pa-
per, even though it may possess
considerable merit, will not feel
disappointed if their prductions
are rejected.—Lynn County NeAvs.
MARRIAGES IN AMERICA
HIT ALL-TIME HIGH
KILLING AMERICANS—
NO, NOT IN ACTION
Fourth of July to celebrate when asking for the cooperation of ev-
ery loyal American in the defense
program, made the folloAving state-
ment :
“Wa hold these truths to be self-
evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endoAved by
their Creator Ayith certain unalien-
able rights, that among these are
life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness. That to secure these
rights, governments are instituted
among men, deriving their just
poAvers from the consent of the
governed ...”
One hundred and- sixty-five
years ago this July 4 these immor-
tal Avoids opened for us the gates
of freedom AAdiich avc so casually
take as our due today. That little
band of colonies, 13 in all, refused
to iboAV to the tyranny of a gov-
ernment across the sea. “Life, lib-
erty, and the pursuit of happi-
ness” Avas all that mattered to
these hardy souls and they have
passed this heritage down the
years to us.
We have guarded this heritage.
Many times it has been threatened,
but Ave still proudly point to the
stars and stripes of the United
States of America. Our hearts
SAvell Avhen Ave realize that no ene-
my has ever been able to loAver
that glorious standard and Ave
solemnly voav that it never shall
be lowered.
The government which Ave proud-
ly elect and place in poAver has
felt the need in times past to call
on its people for many things and
these people have never been
found Avanting. Today your gov-
ernment is calling on you againr
The government of the United
States of America Avants to bor-
roAV money from its people. There
is a desperate need for money to
prepare an army and navy to pro-
tect us and keep the Stars and
Stripes flying from every flag
pole in the land, and our govern-
ment only Avants to borroAV, not
take.
By buying Defense Bonds and
SaAnngs Stamps you are lending
money to your government to car-
ry out the enormous Defense uro-
gram and in a feAv years it Avill he
returned to you with interest. This
government of the people, by the
It may have been the draft or
just plain loAm, but the number of
marriages in the United States in
1940 reached the record mark of
1,500,000.
The U. S. census bureau Avas in-
clined to attribute the increase
strictly to love and the fact that
an unusually large number of pei’-
sons reached the marrying age
during the year.
The 1940 marriage total Avas 74,-
000 higher than the previous rec-
ord of 1,426,000 weddings in 1937.
“459 Americans Killed in Ac-
tion.” If you read that heading
in this paper you’d be appalled at
this terrible loss of life. \ our
fighting spirit Avould be kindled
and you’d shout, “revenge!”
Well, that’s exactly what hap-
pened last Memorial day just
feAv Aveeks ago, but there were no
glaring headlines!
These people did not die in bat-
tle, they died in accidents—most
of them in automobile accidents,
and the peculiar aspect of this
tragedy is the placid manner with
which it is noted by the public.
Is this sort of thing to be expect
ed? Are Ave to continue to pay
this terrible price every holiday
on the calendar ? Do Ave have to
have wars to aAA’aken us to the
value of life, comfort, and happi-
ness?
What can be said to make peo
pie realize that there is no dif-
ference in death and injury n the
battlefield and the same fate on
the highway? A life is lost—it
makes no difference hoAV or Avhv.
If someone put a gun in your hand
and told you to go forth and en-
gage an enemy Avith the same Avea-
pon, you’d shudder—and perhaps
resist, yet that’s exactly Avhat
happens Avhen you start out in your
car on a croAvded highway. Chanc-
es are if you’re careful you’ll
avoid the enemy, “accident,” andl
get to vour destination and re-
turn safely. But one false move
of carlessness and the enemy is
upon you and your life—and often
those Avit'h you—may be snuffed
out in a second.
While it is true the safest place
to enjoy the fourth of July is on
your oato front porch with your car
in the garage, it is not intended to
advocate staying at home. It is
the principle of safety that is em-
phasized^—safety on the higliAvay
— care, caution, and common
sense! Stay alert, stay on the safe
side, stay alive!
Tt, is not a merit to tolerate, but
rather a crime to be intolerant.—
Shelley.
PERRYTON — This city, the
wheat capital of the Avorld, has
gained; national recognition as the
spot that in three short years rose
from the ravages of the dust bowl
to the nation’s bread basket, in as
gala a celebration as the Panhan-
dle has ever seen. Clamaxing a
Aveek of festivities, Perry ton, Sat-
uday night, heard E. B. Germany,
regional chairman of the USO for
Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and
Luisiana, praise Ochiltree county
for contributing the largest dona-
tion per capita of any community
in the nation to the USO, 4,213
bushels of wheat or one bushel
for each man, woman, and child
in the county, and also heard the
chairman declare “Our soldiers
have nothing to fear in support
from citizens like yours.” He al-
so stated the Panhandle of Texas
(region north of PlainyieAv) pro-
duced 4-5ths of the Avheat of Tex-
as.
Germany A\ras accompanied to
Perryton from Amarillo by Jay
Taylor, 18th congressional district
chairman of the USO; Ceda Puc-
kett, Potter county chairman, and
Adjutant W. T. Johnson of the
Salvation Army of Amarillo. They

ta of Hutchinson county.

the festival Avas A. W. Thurman
Avho marketed the first Avheat of
the county in 1905, hauling the

center.

birthday on August 22.

a freshman in school, is 5 feet
4 1-2 inches tall, Aveighs 110
pounds, has black hair and brown
eyes. Her hobby is riding and she
is truly a farmers daughter. This
Avas her first 'beauty contest. She
was presented a National Defense
Bond by Mr. Germany that had
her name, address, and her title
engraved thereon.
The Perryton Equity Exchange,
a farmer’s cooperative grain ele-
vator of Perrvton was t'he high-
est bidder at the auction of the
donated Avheat, paying 90 cents
per bushel or $3,791.70 to the
USO. Ochiltree county’s quota
Avas only $300 for the National
Defense funds.
*t»he trend in bathing suits this
year seems to be towards ex-
treme simplicity of design and
economy of material. Purely deco-
rative effects are sacrificed to as-
sure perfect freedom of action. The
so-called one-piece suit of other sea-
sons has been reduced to a fraction
of its former self.
Despite their simplicity of de-
sign, the new bathing suits are
highly decorative. The summer
beaches this year will be riots of
color. The materials used will in-
clude arresting shades of red, green
and blue. Striking effects are pro-
duced by employing nautical de-
signs, and the suits are gay with
pictures of boats under sail, dol-
phins and achors. The illustration
above shows how effective such
decorations may be.
made of completely waterproof ma-
terial. Thus they retain their fresh-
ness of appearance after bathing,
and the swimmer avoids the be-
draggled appearance of the ordi-
nary suit on emerging from the
Avater. Since these suits do not ab-
sorb the water they may be worn
without danger of catching cold. A
novelty of the season are the rayon,
suits. The much discussed substi-
tute for natural silk is extremely
light and sheer. It is claimed to
have twice the wearing quality of
silk and better resists the wear and
tear of swimming.

ford a preview of the bathing styles
