He likes to get his teeth into a story and whip it into shape. He also likes to build things in his workshop. Both are good fun.

Window-Shopping Inexpensive Still, we plod on, down Hay street, into the city itself. The usual procedure is to drop one's letters at the Postoffice, then to cross the street to the five-and-tcn, to idle, and "just looking, thank rarely doing any shopping. Money, we've long since learned, is a mysterious item that keeps disappearing alarmingly, so we guard the little we have, jealously, watching every penny. Since our "home" is a room only, we can do no cooking, and have to eat out. Now, restaurants arc fine, once in a while, but morning, noon and night they begin to take on a different character.

So, to avoid explosions, it's best to get his mind off the post, so you trot him to town (a mile and a half, on the hoof) where there is always something doing at the various USD's.

Why I Go to Church My chief reason for going to church is because the Church is of God and there I feel God's spirit lifting me to higher planes and filling my soul with more love for Him and His people. On leaving home to make my way in the world, my father's admonition was, "Son, go to church for 'tis the people who go to church and are striving to servo God that will be the proper associates for you." It is to any one's advantage spiritually, economically and commercially to go to church and help support it. John P. Cox from Bath Beach, Brooklyn.

FOR iirr u. s. SAVINGS IONOS AND STAMPS This is a Congressman This is a Voter The Congressman works for the voter. This is a Dictator This is a Dictator's subject The subject works for the else. This is a Newspaper It tells the voter what the Congressman ia doing.

It tells the Congressman what the voter wants him to do. If the Congressman does what the voter wants done, the voter can commend him. If he doesn't, the voter can vote him out of him. In totalitarian countries, the people can't fire the dictators. They don't even know what the dictators are doing.

They only know what the dictators say they are doing, in the propaganda sheets that tell only what the dictators tell them to say. AROUND ELECTION TIME you see political messages urging you to vote for this candidate or that, because he stands for this policy or that. The candidate states his platform in the newspaper, for all the voters to see. You may not agree with him. You don't have to vote for him.

But you know what the candidate stands for. AND YOU KNOW THAT IF HE DOESN'T LIVE UP TO HIS PROMISES, THE NEWSPAPERS WILL TELL YOU ABOUT IT, Your Congressman is your representative. He votes in the way he thinks you would vote if you were in Congress: And it's your privilege to tell him, in advance of any vote in Congress, how you would vote and how you want him to vote. Can you imagine a citizen of Berlin telling Hitler how to vote? Can you imagine Hitler paying for an ad urging the Germans to elect him? Can you imagine a German newspaper telling Hitler that the people don't like what he's doing? If those things ever happened; Hitler's dictatorship would be over; Dictatorship can't live in a system like ours, where newspapers are free to print the truth in the news and the editorial columns, and advertisers are free to print the truth in the advertising columns; i When business is better in this town everybody benefits.
