On a Grand Scale Formal welcome home of the war service people--a community celebration on a scale commensurate i the importance thereof--is now launched, with the a i by the Mayor and City Council of a committee to direct preparations. The week in August has been decided upon as the time.

It now remains the obligation of all to support the program the committee is expected to map oin. That embraces helping to meet the expanse. Ickes Will Write For The Courier; Just Who Is He?

It will be noted in the announcement that ail Northern county is embraced in the program. some nearby communities may be able to arrange celebrations, they could not be on a scale such as the steering committee has in mind.

Therefore all will be invited to participate. Each will be assigned its part. A young man recognized as a hustler has been named to head the committee in the person of Dr. J. H.irold Dull.

Tribute to the Women of The Connellsville Canteen Well, ladies, friends and neighbors of the Connellsville Canteen, I'm not at all a poet, and I can't write things with sheen. But I'll try to do my very best, to say the things I should, And will not try lo criticize this thing which d.d much good.

So I'll start right out by saying that we are justly proud Of the real show of sportsmanship with which you are endowed. Only those whose hearts are strong and have much good within Could serve our boys and girls ''as you have" without chagrin. We of the railroad family have trjed lo help along; Sometimes I know we seem quite hard, but not to do a wrong. Rules we have and Ihcy must stand for all our public's good; There have been no ladies injured while passing out the food. So thai should go lo prove our point, of our safety rules and such, And for your a i adherence we can thank you veiy much.

I could keep right on this i ambling, as I place this down in rhyme, Could praise you all up lo Ihe clouds, amongst those things sublime. Bjt I know you would not wan', that, but just the credit due. And ladies, friends and neighbors, we give it all to you. There will be another record, of a splendid job well done, For you served our lolks in service, "wilhout pay" for any one. Except the llianks of those who came lo stand around your cart, To eat and drink ho: coffee belore tnc trains would start.

There will be another little mark upon the chart of lime; No human hand could pen the praise, or place it down in rhyme. So I would like to a you, in only way I might.

it's all a matter of Bolh Can Be Losers Coal production suspensions are to be condemned, insofar as operators and workers are concerned, for reasons other than those immediately discernible. They mean more than closing of the mines and industries dependent on coal to continue operation and more than losses in income for the coal companies and wages for the miners. There was a time when there was no substitute for coal except firewood. Then came natural gas. Now fuel oil is forging to the front.

And as the price of coal rises, other substitutes will be sought. The more thes-e processes are speeded, the fewer jobs there will be in coal mines, the less demand for this form of fuel. Of course the researcher and the inventor will always be seeking for coal substitutes, but the demand will not be so great so long as ample supplies are assured.
