NOT ALL THE MONEY FOR
DEFENSE IS BEING WASTED
STICK TO YOUR JOB!
.UXu'j itliiJItuK* l .
Not by any means is all of the
money being poured out for na-
tional defense being wasted!
Some of it—nobody knows just
how much—is going for purposes
that will be served after the emer-
gency has passed.
For instance, construction and
improvement projects on 288 air-
ports scattered over the United
States have just been announced
by the Civil Aeronautics Admin-
istration. Eighty millions are go-
ing into this, but—
When the war is over, there will
certainly be a ^eat increase in
civilian flying. Thousands of
trained pilots in every major
country will seek to use their
skills in making a living.
It has already been predicted
that the day is in sight when ev-
ery bit of first-class mail in the
country will be air-borne. That
means airports, bigger, better,
and more frequent airports.

HERE’S A GOOD DEFINITION
OF THE WORD ‘FREEDOM’
You cannot say what freedom
is perhaps, in a single sentence.
It is not necessary to define it.
It is enough to point to it.
Freedom is a man lifting a gate
latch at dusk and sitting for a
while on the porch smoking his
pipe before he goes to bed.
It is the violence of an argu-
ment outside an election booths,
it is the righteous anger of the
pulpits.
It is the warm laughter of a
girl on a park bench.
It is the'rush tf a train Over
the continent and the unafraid
faces of people looking out of
the windows.
It is the howdys in the world
and all the hellos.
It is Westbrook Pegler telling
the president how to raise his
children, it is Roosevelt letting
them raise themselves.
It is Lindbergh’s appeasing
voice raised above a thousand his-
It is Dorothy Thompson asking
for war; it is Gen. Hugh Johnson
telling her to keep quiet.
It is you trying to remember
the words of the Star Spangled
Banner.
It is the sea breaking on wide
sands somewhere and the shoul-
ders of a mountain supporting
the sky.
It is the air you fill your lungs,
with and the dirt that is in your
garden.
It is a man cursing all crops.
It is the absence of apprehen-
sion at the sound of approach-
ing footsteps outside your door.
It is your hot resentment of
intrigue, the tilt of your chin, and
the tightening of your lips, some-
times.
It is al the things you do and
want to keep on doing.
It is all the things, you feel and
cannot help feeling.
FREEDOM—IT IS YOU!
COURTEOUS WORKERS
IMPRESS MOST TOURISTS
Some towns are just beginning
to wake up to the fact that fill-
ing station attendants, soda jerk-
efS, and cafe waitresses are more
responsible for the tourist’s opin-
ion of the town than anyone else.
Many times an indifferent at-
tendant, sloppy jerker, and sour-
puss waitress make such an unfav-
i orable impression that the tour-
ist never stops again and if the
impression is deep enough, he
keeps his friends from stopping.
On the other hand, vThen a fav-
orable impression is gained from
friendly, courteous people, he is
glad to return, and recommends
the town to his friends.—McLean

WHEN DRIVING YOUR CAR
TRY OBSERVE THESE
ROAD COURTESIES
Would you fight another guest
for a seat at a party?. Would
you push the person ahead of
you at a wedding reception?
Would you shout at a woman to
get out of your way on a dance
floor ?
Of course you wouldn’t!
Your manners are better than
that. And the Texas Safety As-
sociation says if you were just as
courteous on the highway, there
would be a lot fewer accidents.
Here as six ways to show good
motor manners:
When some driver insists on
the right-of-way, let him have it.
Watch out for the driver who
tries to beat the traffic light. Let
him risk his life to save a few sec-
onds, but don’t risk yours.
When a driver passes on a hill
or curve, or misjudges the dis-
tance ahead, slow down and let
him get back in line.
If a driver behind is over-anx-
ious to get around you, pull over
and let him pass before he takes
a chance and invovles you in an
accid.ent, too.
At night, dim your lights for
approaching cars.
Dbn’t expect the right thing
from the other fellow. Always
give him a break, even when he’s
wrong!
U. S. PAPER MONEY PRINTED
ON THE BEST OF PAPER
The U. S. government’s paper
money is printed on the best pa-
per—the strongest and most dur-
able that it is possible for paper
mills to make.
It is against the law to make
paper like that used by the gov-
ernment, except for government
purposes and under government
supervision.
But even this strongest of pa-
pers wears out with the con-
stant passing from hand; to hand,
from bank to bank, and from
store to store. So the Treasury
department asks the banks to send
in the old, worn, torn, or mutilat-
ed bills, to be exchanged for new
ones. These bills come in by the
bundle, many thousands of them
monthly. They are inspected, a
record is made each one, and, then
’they are destroyed by burning.
The average life of a dollar bill,
most used unit of our paper
money, is nine months.
So great is the wear and tear
on paper money that every day
millions of dollars worth comes
to be destroyed.
As an example, the month of
January, 1940, is cited,: There
were destroyed at the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing in Wash-
ington, bills with a face value of
$286,172,300, or an average of
$11,006,627 for every day of the
26 working days of the month.
BLIND QAIL FINALLY LOSES
How a quail survived as long as
it did while blind is puzzling a
North Texas game warden.
The bird, although it had been
blind for a long time, as evidenced
by the fact that it had two dry
holes in its head where its eyes
had been, was fat. It must have
been weeks since the bird lost its
eyesight.
The question is: how had the
bird fed extensively enough to
keep fat and how had it avoided
flying into something and killing
itself?
It finally met its end by col-
liding with a parked car of the
game warden.

‘WE SHALL LIVE AGAIN’
—W. J. BRYAN
William Jennings Bryan’s con-
tribution to the cause of religion
was immeasurable. He assailed
Bob Ingersoll, the agnostic, for
the “cold and cheerless doctrine,
‘I do not know’.” And to the
question, “If a man die, shall
he live aagin?” Bryan made an-
swer: , *
“Christ gave us proof of im-
mortality—and yet it would hard-
ly seem that one should rise from
tthe dead to prove that the grave
is not the end. To every created
thing, God has given a tongue
that proclaims a future life.
“If He touches the cold and
pulseless heart of the buried
acorn and causes it to burst forth
from its prison walls, will He
leave neglected in the earth the
soul of man made in the image
of his Crator? If he deigns to
stoop and whisper to the rose-
bush whose withered blossoms
float upon the autumn breeze, the
sweet assurance of another spring-
time, will He refuse the wTords of
hope and cheer to the sons of
men when the frosts of winter
come?
“If matter, mute and inanimate,
though changed by the forces of
nature into a multitude of
forms, can never die, will the spir-
it of man suffer annihilation aft-
er it has paid a brief visit, like a
royal guest, to this tenement of
clay?
“No. I am as sure that I shall
live again as I am that I live
(today.
“When I was in Cairo, I se-
cured a few grains of wheat that
had slumbered for more than
3,000 years in an Egyptian tomb.
As I looked at them, this thought
came into my mind: If one of
those grains of wheat had been
planted on the bank of the Nile
the year after it grew and all
its lineal descendants had been
planted from that time until now,
its progeny would today be suf-
ficiently numerous to fed the
teeming millions of the world.
“There is in the grain of wheat
an invisible something which has
power to discard the body that
we see and, from earth and air,
fashion a new body so like the old
one that we cannot tell the one
from the other. And if the grain
of wheat can thus pass unimpaired
through 3,000 resurrections, I
shall not doubt that my soul has
power to clothe itself in a new
body, suited to its new existence,
when this earthly frame has
crumbled into dust.”
BOOM IN BUSINESS IS
FORECAST FOR TEXAS
ward business spiral such as it has
war business spiral such as it has
never seen before, but inflation
remains an ever-present danger,
Dr. J. Anderson Fitzgerald, Uni-
versity of Texas business adminis-
tration dean, told a Texas Bank-
ing conference in Austin Tues-
day.
Heard by 250 state bank dele-
gates, Dean Fitzgerald’s speech
on “purchasing power and con-
sumption in wartime,” highlight-
ed second-day activities of the
bankers’ five-day short course in
defense emergency banking prob-
lems.
He pointed out these indexes
of the present defense boom in
Texas:
Industrial employment up 12
per cent;
Payrolls up 26 per cent;
Farm income up 25 per cent.
State and local governments
and private banks should resist
debt-building especially, Fitzger-
ald said, recalling that “prosper-
ity has always been a good time
to pay off debts.”
Mother—Johnny, has daddy had

The Three Rs
While modern, streamlined
and scientific methods of edu-
cation have resulted in what
seems to be a terrific change
from the days of the 4 little
red schoolhouse,” the opening
of school still spells a return
to the three Rs for nation’s
thousands of school children.
Immortalized in the song
“School Days,” these three Rs
—Readin’, ’Ritin’ and ‘Rith-
metic still form the basis of
much that is vital in elemen-
tary education. Thus the pic-
ture of Young America on the
march with their textboohs
and the song—herald another
“Opening of School.”
YOUNG MEN CAN ENLIST IN
ARMY AND ‘SEE WORLD’

Under recent regulations young
men entering the army through
their Selective Service Boards
have no chance of seeing the
world. It is only by an enlist-
ment through the regular army _
recruiting service that the young j
man’s normal appetite for travel j
and adventure in foreign lands
can be satisfied.
The U. S. Army Recruiting
station at Pampa, now has many
vacancies for service in the Ha-
waiian Islands and the Philip-
pine Islands, and young men regis-
tering for the selective service
but who have not been called are
eligible for enlistment in these va-
cancies.
For service in the Hawaiian Is-
lands there are the following va-
cancies: infantry, coast artillery
corps, field artillery, corps of en-
gineers, medical corps, and ord-
nance department.
For service in the Philippine
Islands there are the following
vacancies: infantry, coast artil-
lery corps, field artillery, quarter-
master corps, medical corps, ord-
nance department, and chemical
warfare service.
These vacancies are something
new, heretofore it having been the
policy of the war department to
send no one to foreign service
with less than one years’ service.
Now a young man can enlist for
one of these vacancies and be
sent to foreign service without
delay.
There are only a few of these
choice vacancies left so young
men desiring to see the world
should apply for enlistment with-
out delay.
