ARE WE BECOMING SOFTER?
A newspaper trade journal has had an
interesting discussion for several months
as tc whether editors are becoming softer.
Discussion has been pertinent along the
line as to whether editors are indifferent
as to civic ills. •
Without commenting especially along
the virtues or shortcoming of editors, it
may be well to take a general view.
For instance, the other day it was stated
that a Virginia defense housing unit could
not be opened largely because mechanical
refregeratfon and heating units were not
installed.
A few years ago thqse two shortages
would not have bothered any one about
moving into a new hom;e. If he needed re-
frigeration, he would have bought an ice
box. If he, needed heat, he would have in-
stalled a coal or wood stove. But those
days of 20 or 25 years ago are gone.
As late as 10 or 15 years ago, many per-
sons drove cars all winter in Panhandle
without heat. Probably not a car takes the
road here in winter these days without a
heater.
Evidently, the progress of these times
tend to make people softer.

ADOBE WALLS CELEBRATION
Not since the days when the Panhandle
was inhabited by Indians will the^re be so
many Red Skins in this area as will be at
Borger this week-end.
Borger people have made extensive pre-
parations for the Adobe Walls celebration
which will be held Friday to Sunday, Oct.
17 to 19, inclusive.
Around 400 Indians were< due to reach
Borger yesterday and they were to be en-
camped at Huber park.
Children are, just as much interested in
Indians as they were 30 or 40 years ago.
Several Indians have been in Borger and
have made; trips with the boosters.
School children have been tremendously
intrested and they have indicated a desire
to go to Borger to see the Indians give
many of their dances and other cetemon-
ials.
As this celebration is in one of our near-
by cities, Panhandle people will be glad to
give their support.

THANKSGIVING DAY
Two-thirds of the states will observe
Thanksgiving Nov. 20 this year iij con-
formity with the proclamation of Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Gov. Coke Stevenson has decreed that
Tjxas shall celebrate Thanksgiving on
the traditional last Thursday which will
be Nov. 27.
After several years of the earlier
Thanksgiving, President Roosevelt has
said that the benefits have not been in
keeping with the confusion and has stat-
ed that he will sqt Thanksgiving for the
final Thursday in November, 1942.
President Roosevelt had the right idea,
but it just would not go over unanimously.
The earlier Thanksgiving would have, suc-
ceeded, if the president had not weakened.
Library Notes
EASY BOOK: Liang and Lo, by
Kurt Wiese
Did you ever see a dragon?
Well, Liang and Lo did, and it
was a really truly live one. May-
be it was a little bit different
from what you would expect, but
it certainly was a dragon. It had
thirty feet and horns and a long
red tongue and a body that was
all the colors in the world. It took
Liang and Lo a long, long time
to find it, but they kept on until
they did. They could never in the
world have found the dragon if
it had not been for the water
buffalo. Nobody else wanted to'
help them much, but the buffalo
did. Just how could a buffalo help
two little Chinese boys? You will
soon find out when you read this
story.

Canyon News: A poll of Canyon
merchants indicates there is no
reaction against the new federal
taxes which went into, effect Oct.
1. Every citizen realizes that war
and preparation for war is ex-
pensive. The United States is fac-
ed with war, even if we are not
called actually upon to fight, and
the only source of revenue for
the government is through taxes.
When your merchants tell you
the amount of taxes he must col-
lect from you, you should feel
proud of the fact that you are
making a direct contribution to
the war chest of Democracies.
Tulia Herald: It’s a long time
until duck season (Nov. 2) but
we understand that some people
are too anxious to wait. It must
be hard to keep from pulling the
trigger when the ducks are so
temptingly plentiful. We wonder
if the ducks taste better shot out
of season than they do in, just
like a watermelon swiped from
some farmer’s patch is more de-
licious than one legally purchas-
ed!
Groom News: A man from New
Jersey was in Groom this week
looking for his run-a-way wife.
He described her as about 25, of

Donley County Leader, Clar-

Clarendon News: The i*eplace-
ments and repairs incident to the
cyclone damage here on June 9,
has developed into a building
boom of sizeable proportions. In
the mass people are a lot like
individuals—inclined to follow
the lead of their neighbors.
Dalhart Texan: This was sent
in:
Some fellows can get away with
anything. We know one who does.
Morals don’t mean a thing to
him. He‘s unmarried and lives
openly; and doesn’t care what the
neighbors say or think. He has
no regard for truth or law.
The duties of the so-called good
citizen are just as much bunk as
far as he’s concerned. He doesn't
vote at either the primaries or
the general elections. He never
thinks of paying a bill.
He won’t work a lick; he won’t
go to church; he can’t play cards,
or dance, or fool around with
musical instruments or the radio.
So far as known he has no in-
tellectual or cultural interests.
He neglects his appearance ter-
ribly. He’s so indolent he’d let
the house burn down before he’d
turn in an alarm. The telephone
can ring itself to pieces and he
wouldn’t bother to answer it.
Even on such controversial sub-
ject as the liquor question, no-
body knows exactly where he
stands, because one minute he’s
dry and the next minute he’s wet.
Bue we’ll say this for him, in
spite of all his faults he comes
from a darn good family.
He lives at 2619 Eagle Street,
Houston. He came here Aug 29,
1941. His name is Robbins Rowan
Dawson. His parents are John
and Lucille Dawson. He’s their
new baby.

Editor The Herald:
George W. Cottlngham, editor
of the Houston Chronicle talked
to us a few minutes when the
commission met. He certainly is
a fine fellow.
In telling us who can help us
in carrying out the service that
should be rendered the people,
every man w'ho has spoken
has mentioned the newspapers.
A special agent for the F. B. I.
mentioned a case this morning
that the newspapers were the
cause of the case being finally
solved. Captain Shaver said that
if we would cooperate with the
newspapers, we. would have the
best kind of friends.
This has been hard training,
but the men have all been pleas-
ant. It has been work, but very
interesting.
The class has been divided into
patrolmen and license examiners.
They put me in the license div-
ision. It is going to be interesting.
Say hello to my friends for
me. i hope to see you about Oct.
-*• think the tentative plans
call for the graduation to be Oct.

ion book for amatuer, experienc-
ed or inexperienced handcrafters,

hensive chapters, Evadna 'Kraus
Perry explains in clear detail var-
ious simple methods and mediums
for all types of craft-work listed

ing with wood, book-making, spat-

TEEN-AGE BOOK: The Shoe-
maker’s Son, The Life of Hans
Christian Anderson, by Constance
Buel Burnett.
The Ugly Duckling, The Con-
stant Tin Soldier, and all the other
delightful stories of Hans Christ-
ian Anderson—again and again
we read them. Small wonder that
boys and girls the world over
have made them their own, with
gratitude to the author who gave
them to us. In this beautiful book
about the loved story teller him-
self, you will come to know Hans
Christian Anderson as your own
friend. Here is the small Hans,
so different from other boys and
girls, who loved to invent plays
and perform them on his puppet
stage: and the young Hans, tall
and lanky and ungainly, who
went to the big city of Copenha-
gen to seek his fortune, and work-
ed and struggled until,’as the old-
er Hans, he found it—in the sim-
ple, charming stories that we all
love so well.
ADULT BOOK: The Soong Sis-
ters, by Emily Hahn
Emily Hahn’s picture of these
three courageous, determined, and
withal charming sisters makes a
heart-warming and unforgettable
book. We meet them first as Elinsr
Chingling and Mayling, the little
daughters of Charlie Soong sec-
ret revolutionary and friend of
Sun Yatsen. We know them as
the demure Chinese girls who so
surprised, delighted and amused
their classmates at Wesleyan Col-
lege for Women in Georgia. We
follow them through their extra-
ordinary careers, as Madame Kung
wife of China’s Morgan, Madame
Sun Yatsen, wife of the father
of the Chinese Revolution, and
Madame Chiange Kai-shek, wife
of the Generalissimo. Their story
is the story of modern China.
■Through that tragic fhistory —
ithroujgh, revolution, counter-re-
volution. civil war, and invasion
—the Soong sisters have gone
their seperate ways, each, by her
intelligence, courage and inter-
grity—what the Chinese call vir-
tue—has carved a separate niche
for herself in the hierarchy of
Chinese greatness.
