The Clarksville Times recently
celebrated its 70th birthday. In
honor of the event R. M. White,
superintendent of Clarksville
schools, tendered‘.his congratula-
tions and paid the following tri-
bute to country newspapers:
“I note with interest that this
week marks the seventieth anni-
versary of the founding of The
Clarksville Times. Three score
and ten years is a long time in
the life of men and institutions.
The launching of any business is
an interesting event, but to my
mind the birth of a newspaper
holds the deepest significance of
them all.
“Some organizations become
cold mechanical units which
move with unvarying routine —
highly efficient hut inanimate:
Not so with newspapers. They
have personality. Like human
beings, they live. They visit in
the homes of their communities
without distinction or discrimin-
ation as to race, color, or creed
The small town newspaper used
to refer to its subscribers as its
‘familiv of readers,' and the
phrase was aptly used.
“The newspaper does indeed
become a member of the family.
It may sit around an open fire
in a country home and furnish
entertainment on winter even-
ings. It visits homesick boys on
battlefields and ships, and re-
vives happy memories of home
and friends. When some mem-
ber of the family marries, the
newspaper is there to offer con-
gratulations
“When a child is born the
newspaper welcomes the arrival
and stays nearby to record faith-
fully ail the events of its life

though.

As we understand it, the Chinese

Some one describes an optimist as
a man who when he comes out at
the little end of the horn turns
around and blows the horn.
Dear Editor: By the time this is
printed my annual leave will be
over and I’ll be back in Uncle Sam’s
Navy, dodging the officers and apol-
ogizing to the Lord for the nineteen-
hundred lies I told on the trip. It
seems there are a few civilians left
'whose wives don’t talk enough for
them and they want to make up the

I remember one time my Com-
mander asked me if I had found a
girl ashore. “Maybe,” I answered.
“Why, have you lost one?” Well,
that wasn’t the right answer, but it
was as near right as some I gave
my questioners, who probably won-
der how I could be in the South Pa-
cific and North Africa at the same
time.

time I rounded the barracks I had
reached the same point. Looking
back now, I can grin at the experi-
ence, but right then it was not fun-

The fact that money is thought to

"1 be fault in high wages," says
Robert Quillen, “is that a lazy man

Ain't that the truth?
Ti is is the way Claude Calkin de-

'here, is a way to cut down v.ild-

the loibles of patients, hut the
selfish antics of some, of their
perfectly healthy visitors. The
distraught prospective father, for
instance, who stops pacing long
enough to hear it’s a boy—rushes
outside to get tight—rushes back
to annoy everybody in the hospi-
tal with his mauldin chatter.
That’s one time a man might stay
sober—or else stay awav. An-
other problem is the p itential
Florence Nightingale. She’s nev-
er trained: she .just “has u knack
for nursing.” So she take, the
sick friend’s temperature, read;
the thermometer wrong, then
throws the place into a turmoil
demanding this and that. What
burns me to a crisp, however, is
the kind friends whose ideas’of
visiting the sick are to arrive,'

was in town on Saturday. “Well,
John, ’ I says as I shook his hand,
"I reckon Uncle Sam won’t call you
for a month or two on account of
your having one kid.”
“Two now," John returned with
a proud grin.
“What’s that—two already? Well,
that will keep you out until summer,
at least. Then you’ll have to-”
"Three,” John cuts in. giving me
a nasty dig in the ribs. "There's an-
utbern on the road.”
Then John jumped into his A-
card, recapped car and headed out
of town for home, leaving me won-
dering whether Roosevelt is the
smartest man in this country and
just what Henry J. Kaiser has that
John doesn’t have.

There was one thing that might
have been left out of my leave, but
idea of what is best for all of us.
The service man who shoots his
mouth is not giving you, himself and
the rest of us the kind of protection
we have a right to expect of him.
He will tell you we arc going to win
this little war. That should be en-
ough. Don’t ask him how or in
what way.
Well, here’s hoping the Lord wilt
bless the Allies and help us bust the
axle of the Axis. While He is about
it He might help me digest the nine-
hundred hot biscuits I downed while
I was at home. Yours truly,
BARNACLE BILL.
P. S. My regards to all of Uncle
Sam’s nephews from that area, and
a special warning to that flying lieu-
tenant, James Grant, to be dead sure
he knows what ship he is over be-
fore he drops his bombs.

are not striking for shorter hours

foolish orders. And something tells
