Highest Thursday 92198. VOL. 54-NO. 227 HARK THE HERALD--- To Irritated Neighbor- THE writer of a letter to our Peoples' Column evidently forgot to sign his or her name after describing a deplorable condition existing in the neighborhood. However, signed or not, we believe little good could be effected by publishing the letter.

We suggest to the writer that he (or she) talk the matter over with the prosecuting attorney of the county in which the alleged unlawful actions ave taking place. We are sure that if there has been a violation of the law, he will not hesitate to take action. As stated in the correspondent's letter the acts described are anything but gentlemanly. Frederick W. Faber describes a entleman as a man who never gives offense willfully.

This characteristic of a gentleman is essential to good neighborliness and friendship and understanding. Faber, in his essay on "Kind Words" points out the best remedy for misunderstandings, prejudices and quarrels. It is a pleasure to quote him for the benefit of our anonymous correspondent and all our readers who may be harrassed by neighborhood quarrels: "Kind words are the music of the world. They have a power which seems to be beyond natural causes, as if they were some angel's song, which had lost its way, and come on earth, and sang on undyingly, smiting the hearts of men with sweetest wounds, and putting, for the while, an angel's nature into us. "Let us then think, first of all, of the power of kind words.

In truth, there is hardly a power on earth equal to them. It seems as if they could almost do what, in reality, God only can do namely, soften the hard, angry hearts of men. "Many a friendship, long, loyal and self-sacrificing, rested at first on no thicker a foundation than a kind word. The two men were not likely to be friends. Perhaps each of them regarded the other's antecedents with somewhat distrust.

They had possibly been set against each other by the circulation of a gossip. Or they had been looked upon as rivals, and the success of one was regarded as incompatible with the success of the other. But a kind wordperhaps a mere report of a kind Word-1 been enough to set all things straight and to be the commencement of an enduring friendship. "The power of kind words is shown also in the destruction of prejudices, however, inveterate they may have been. Surely we must all of us have experienced this ourselves.

For a long time we have had prejudices against a person. They seem to us extremely well founded. We have a complete view of the whole case in our minds. Some particular circumstances bring us into connection with this man. We see nothing to disabuse us of our prejudices.

But kind words pass, and the prejudices thaw away. Right or wrong, there was some reason, or show of reason, for forming them, while there is neither reason, nor show of reason, for their departure. There is no logic in the matter, but a power which is above fogic the simple, unassisted power of a few kind words. "What has been said of prejudices applies equally to quarrels. Kind words will set right things which have got most intricately wrong.

In reality an unforgiving heart is a rare monster. Most men get tired of the justest quarrels. Even those quarrels where the quarrel has been all on one side, and which are always the hardest to set right, give way, in time, to kind words. At first they will be unfairly taken as admissions that we have been in the wrong; DAILY Successor to JASPER, INDIANA Take Active Part In Ind. State Fair Lt.

Cripps called for immediate measures to reduce dollar expenditures and indicated that the belts of British wage-earners probably will have to be tightened further still.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer called for a halt to wage increases, more exports and higher productive efficiency as additional parts of a continuing "austerity" program which he said is necessary to cope with a sharp decline in serling reserves. He made these points before a glum house of commons: 1-Britain's sterling reserve as of June 30 was one billion, 624 million dollars -down 376 million dollars the two billion dollar level considered safe for the country's economic well-being. Britain's dollar deficit--brought on, Cripps said, by dwindling sales, especially to the United Statesrose to 628 million dollars in the second quarter of 1949 compared with 328 million dollars in the first quarter. 2-Imports from the dollar area probably will be reduced. 3-Britain expects to be able to overcome "the unfavorable turn" in her situation but American and commonwealth aid are necessary.

4-The pound will not be devalued, at least for the present. 5-All government purchasing dspartments will continue to hold off on new dollar purchases at least until next October. 6-Existing dollar contract commitments will remain in force but specific authority will be required for all new dollar purchases. 7-All other dollar expenditure will be permitted only "where it is essential and then at a reduced rate." (In Washington, U. S.

Secretary of State Acheson immediately pledged American cooperation in finding a solution to Britain's economic situation. He said the ultimate solution should bring increased efficiency in production, lower prices and more efficient merchandising of British goods.)
