IN CAR CLEANING £2 We have often tried to imagine what a town would be like which is so blind to community interest jas to be indifferent in its support of a local newspaper newspaperless town indicates that it is either too small to be of much business "importance or thar its citizens are without business enterprise or civic pride The very absence of a local newspaper in any town of suitable size indicates that it lacks enterprise energy or civic character Such a town would advertise to the world that it did not think much of itself and care what otners thought of it The very fact that no one published a newspaper in it would prove conclusively that it did nor merit one and that its business concerns were unpro gressive and therefore unworthy of patronage Every "'worthwhile town has a local newspaper' If it Is a poolnewspaper that is the fault of the individual publishing it if the town is really worthwhile' somebody would sooner or later drive a poor paper to the wall and give it the sort of paper it needed i The greatest business builder is advertising and the failure to seek business by advertising stamps any con cern as lacking in initiative and ihdifferent to progress The lack of subscription support such as woul: make a newspaper unprofitable shows that either th paper itself lacks reader interest or that the people the community are incapable of appreciating it Either way the result is the same The newspaper si less town passes unnoticed and cannot expect to be known to the world as anything but a backward com munity and a place where people live but do not thrive 4 TWO THANKSGIVINGS Peace loving citizens throughout the world breath lessly await Chancellor Adolf next move as rance told the land hungry German to start attacking or cease his demands for Danzig and the Polish corridor Contrary to the conference last fall both' rance and England told Hitler to deal with Poland herself which incidentally called bluff In the Munich conference' held last fall England dominated the parley and through the umbrella carrying Chamberlain gave Germany the republic of Czechoslavakia so'" that the British Isles might be safe England and her scheming foreign minister Neville Chamberlain have since been criticized for their actions last fall and in all probability Chamberlain would have been willing to give away some more of Europe to protect interests had not the pressure been too great for such a move However the decision rendered Hitler by rance and England will probably prove that the war monger has never had the confidence to mobilize against Poland thus bringing rance and England (if she thinks she has a sure chance of winning) into the conflict Had rance called hand when he denounced the Lacarno Pact moved into the Rhine River territory all the recent troversies might have been' avoided wnatever the result rance and England have made a wise decision in finally denying demands and waiting for the mad Austrian paper hanger to make the first move THINGS TO WATCH chewing gum alleged to be capable of killing at least 90 per cent of the bacteria present in the mouth Neatly boxed floor fan designed to put the comparatively cool air into circulation Requiring no more room than a telephone a new portable adding machine which weighs only uiHe oiuuii iiuiiie in connection with the theft of three As this is written it is too early to attempt a comprehensive analysis of the efforts of the most recent changes in the financial setup but it is certain that wherever the' shoe pinches hardest there are going to be more and louder lamentations!
