off.

THE RAMBLER
By R F. Harigel
Voters And Peiitictaa Have
Maintained Good Memory
That someone should have—even if
an editor—made the suggestion to
President Truman to resign and hand
the reins of government over to a re-
publican is, in the judgment of Ram-
bler, an outburst of the liliputian mind.
American elections may be contami-
nated with base practices (and they
are) but the voters have a right to
their opinion.
Rambler gets the thought, after
brief study, that a comeback was as-
sured when the chief executive of
Free America took a hand in the pri-
mary election and because a member
of the Senate, and from the president’s
home State, saw things different than
did the President, and voted his con-
victions. Truman managed to get the
present senator defeated; it may be
mentioned that he was assisted in the
effort to defeat the senator by the po-
litical gang heretofore outlawed.
Brief was the celebration of that
victory, for Truman; Senator Slaugh-
ter, the man who was defeated in the
democratic primary, merely nodded
to the boys on the other side, and they
Funeral services were conducted at proceeded to do some scratching—and

Both
While At Variance
Were Educational'
Rambler had the privilege, and also
he pleasure, to be present at the Lions
Club luncheon on Tuesday of last
week, at which hour of luncheon two
interesting after-dinner short talks
were spoken, by two clever and well-
educated speakers.
County Supt. Walter P. Freytag
spoke on the educational advantages
offered to boys of the service and as
a resume, gave facts concerning the
vocational school over -which he pre
sides, by appointment. Which, in the
brevity of mention was both educatio-
nal and interesting. Supt. Freytag
likewise made the time agreeable to
all the members by referring to the
locating of a junior college at La
Grange. His clear outline was the
wedge that divided indifference from
interest, with the latter virtue granted
the major division. La Grange could
have such a college.
Dr. Matthew Arnold who, back in
1918 left Is Grange where he had ser-
ved as pastor of the Presbyterian
church, and who was in La Grange for
the past week to deliver a series of
lecture-sermons, responded to the call
to address the Lions and took time to
dwell upon the situation in Jerusalem.
Sound as his argument, against the
immigration of 100,000 Jews to Pa-
lestine, may have been, Rambler did
not follow him to full capacity.
Dr. Arnold is a Welshman; without
attempt to become critical, statement
is here made that his remarks were
easy to digest, his point of view easy
to interpret. His recital of America
objecting to the immigration of Jews
to America holding no prioroty over
England’s objection to having them
immigrate to Palestine, was entirely
of the British view. However, the ex-
planation he gave was plausible; Je-
rusalem is under the protection of
Great Britain; America is a free coun-
try of its own charter.
Continuous Requests For
Caution Unheeded
Moralists and vice squad members
have the same objective encouraged,
both are trying to improve conditions
that do not savor of ennobling se-
quels. And the same applies to the
patrolmen lecturers, magazine and
daily paper editors who are exerting
every endeavor to prevent what has
grown to an alarming extent—auto-
mobile accidents.
Rambler, gazing upon a recent—
1946 product—of an automobile in-
dustry refrained not from commenting
on its beauty, yet found himself una-
ble to eliminate the reminder of what
he had seen, in a magazine advertise-
ment of a new automobile, and which
had attracted another as the two of
us sat in the barbershop and waited
for the 35c shave. “An agency of
Death” was the man’s comment.
•
Seeking to contemplate, as we en-
gage in genial conversation with our
interested fellowman, what scenes of
horror are brought to our attention by
pictures taken in the cities bombed
from the air, we were wont to regard
such as “necessary evils” to restore
sanity. They may have been such,
they were horrible to contemplate.
Number of deaths were of minor im-
port. It was war!
Here, in our county, our State, or
United States, the motor vehicle, “an
agency of death”—with the toll on the
increase with no regard by the driver
of the vehicle for the possible out-
come of a hurry drive, and bent only
on enjoying the holiday granted, the
Grim Reaper smiles agreeably (to
self) as he wields the scythe and
pauses long enough to cause his sha-
dow to fall across the door-step of a
presumed-to-be happy home.

B.F. Goodrich
Silvertown
Before we sold a single new Silvertown,
taxis, state police and special test can had
learned the longer mileage secret of these
new passenger car tires. Actual tests proved
they outwore prewar tires. Today, users all
over the country know this secret, too. They
know it gives longer mileage, because it has
a wider, flatter tread that puts more rubber
on the road . . . more rubber to spread the
wear . . . more rubber to stop you quicker.
That’s why, if you’re looking for todays
biggest money’s worth in tires . . . you,
too, will find it worth your while to wait
a little longer for the tire that OUTWEARS
PREWAR TIRES.
