West executive director of the Victory Collection of Canned Food, said in a report on the progress of the drive for overseas relief. "Cash contributions, though un- solicited, have steadily mounted since the campaign got under way last Mr.

West reported. The Victory Collection originally was designed to supplement basic diets furnished by United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration in war-wrecked lands. Approximately 1,000 organized groups are cooperating with the drive by sponsoring canned food in the communities. Ranging from one dollar bills to checks aggregating $723, donated by students at leading woman's college, many of the cash gifts come from servicemen and families reunited by Victory. One grateful family, sitting down to a hearty Christmas dinner in Spokane, was haunted by the thought of Europe's starving millions.

They passed a hat around the table and collected $50 for the Victory Collection of Canned Food. Accompanying the contribution, came a letter from Captain G. F. Whipps, just back from Europe. He wrote: Work Trousers 35 Hard-finish fabric that resists snagging.

We all agreed how much more we would rather see hungry, starving people sitting at our table day. We collected then and there $50." Another veteran in Chicago a- poligized for his "small donation" of $24.14, explaining that he "just recently got his discharge."

JONES What Do You Think? Almost every American has, at one time or another, considered starting his own businesss. Each year thousands of individual open new shops, stores and factories. Some of them prosper and flourish, others fail. Take a look at Bill Brown who runs the general store on Main Street. The store was his idea and it was financed with his savings.

He shouldered all the risks when Try our classifieds. They pay! he started his business, and he still liable for its operations. He must pay the rent every month, the wages of his employes, the cost of stock, heat, light and all the other expenses incidental to running a store. buys merchandise that does not sell it is his loss. Bill Brown takes the risks of operating because he believes in his ability to run a successful business.

To serve his customers Bill Brown employs two men who are paid so many dollars a week each. The wages are paid are on the level of payments made for similar help throughout the area. They are a part of Bill Browns operating expenses. Put yourself is Bill Brown's p'ace for a few moments. Suppose your two employes approached you at the end of the month and said: "We hear that you are making a week in this business; because of that we want more wages.

We want o'O per cent more now or else we will go on a strike and picket your store." As a free American operating under a system of free competitive enterprise what would you say such a demand?

Bi Grown or his employees? The President And Congress One of the most popular men in Congress was Harry S. Truman before he whs "upped" to the Presidency. During the first few months in his new position he remained popular with the Legislators on Capitol Hill.

But as Mr. Shakespeare wisely observed: "Th course of true love never did run smooth." The President has received many rebuffs from Congress on domestic issues. Many of his appointments to high positions in the Government are regarded in Washington 'is poor selections--but Congress lias not interferred in the reshuffling of the Administrative branch the Government. It may be definitely said that Mr. Truman's methods for handling the labor strikes has lost him a great deal of the most valuable support that he had in Congress.

Congress has taken the position that "full and a whole list of Presidential recommendations, too numerous to mention, have been very disappointing. That seems to explain the existing approval and disapproval in Congress, of the President's programs. Perhaps all this new upset in Washington may.mean there may be a sharp revision of membership of both the old political parties before another election, resulting in hundreds of thousands of Democrats becoming Republicans, and Now that those lovely nylons are on the way back, the trick is finding soaps to wash 'em in I Best way to fix that is to keep turning in the USED FATS needed to help make soaps. Remember, where there's fat, there's soap. Keep saving yours! hundreds of thousands of going the other, way, Mr.

Truman may sometimes think of that famous observation of Grover Clevland in his Milwaukee speech, when he stopped suddenly and exclaimed: 'Where am I at!" Running In Low The United States edged in on 1946 in low gear, with slippery tir- es, on skidding highways. This was expected as a condition after the war. But the battles by armies, navies and air forces have been ovci for several months. The struggle between union labor and the big business organizations that paid workers their wages still on. There is a spirit of unrest that hovers over the men and women who are being let out of the services the middle classes and the so-called upper classes have many indefinable difficulties that it is impossible to enumerate the reasons why most of our people are "blue." The so-called "incentives" of the individuals might be classified in one word: Uncertainty.

It isn't necessary to go to the international situation for additional proof that our countrymen aie running in low. "Reconversion" of the lives and institutions of our people, and their methods for leading normal lives, are befogged with uncertainty. But we can at least continue hope that our New Year's wishes may live again in the twelve months of 1946. MULES FOR HORSES F. W.

Both are good servants and the poorest of masters. You need matches in the woods, but let the flame of every match you strike be its own reminder of the danger that lurks in it. Never trust a match to be out.
