B s s
Shortage of farm labor report d
but plenty of people willing Lo give
free advice,
——— .. -
Claimed that city people are
quicker to act than the country folk,
which simply may mean that they
are more likely to go off half cocked.
A good road is an invitation to
everyone within 50 miles to come
into a town and trade, while a bad
read is o suggestion that people
would better stay away.
ENTERING THE OPENING DOORS
Many communities are doing all
that can reasonably be asked toward
the diffusiof of popular intelligence.
The doors to ambition and progress
and enlightment are wide open, but
a lot of folks seem indifferent whet
her they enter or not. After all,
the principal element in_ popula
education is the willingness of the
peop'e to be educated.. The facili
tios are being offered all the tine,
if they are only accepted,
The cities and villages which may
lack suflicient faeilities in the way
of libraries and reading looms,
ought to remedy this defect. But
until this is done there is no leason
that people should lie down and
feel that the doors of opportunity
are olosed to them.
In thousand of places where such
facilities are denied, the people club
together to form reading circies.
They unite to purchase a sclection
of magazines and books which are
passed around from one to :umlhcr.‘
They see the best current literature
and they become well informed.
The result of making educational
facilities easily aszessible is to en
courage a lot of people to think
about community and publhe pro
blems who otherwize would drift
idly through life in a more super
ficial way. A community that pro
vides such easily accessible facilities
will in time have a more thuught-f
ful population. Its people will show
the result of brains in the way they
order their public affairs,
Yet there is no one =0 remotely
located that the facilities of vdm*:v‘
tion are denied. Many of the in
telligent people are located far fmm!
the facilities of colleges and lectures,
and classes. But in their quiet
homes they are faithiul readers of
the newspaper press and the litéra
ture of the times’ They know
what is going on in the world and
could take a better part in intelli
gent conversation than a lot of {olks
in metropolitan society who are
close to the heart of events but who
fail to take advantage of their op
portunities.
PEDESTRIANS AND AUTOS
The abuse of automobile driving
by many incompetent and reckless
operators has become a national
scandal, Still the fault for accid
ents is not wholly with the man at
the steering wheel. The pedestrians
must take some share of it.
It would seem to be a malter of
common prudence in these times.
for people who cross streets in any
city street or town center, to look
)'mlh waye for cars, The ;,,u.n{
cught to be automatic,
The machine that eonies toaring
over the crosswalk at a far too
rapid rate may he all in the wiong,
but it is more importint to the
pedestrian to save his reck than to
compete for the right of way.
Pedestriang as well as automobiles
are too anxious to gave every seeond,
and too impatient about waiting 2
moment untila jam of teaflic passes.
In ost places if people wait only
for a brief instant, the cars that
ocsnpy the streets will pass, and
they can cross in peace and safety,
But many have so little gelf control
that they can’t wait a fow cecondg,
and they may fail o fee some car
coming from ungeen direetion.
The habit of ‘jay walking’’ of
cross'ng the strects at direguliar
angles, is one that makes tronble iny
many locationg, If pedestrians
vill form the habit of crossing ad
recogmized places where they have
the right to do =O, motorists will be
heiter able (o look out for them. l

Sonme
Never go to a goat’s house for wool.
When I argue with a fool there are
two of us.
The way of the backslider is full
of splinters.
Contentment consists not in great
wealth, but in few wants,
~ The shortest ‘way to do many things
Is to do only one thing at a time.
Many a man has died of heart dls
ease brought on by worry over his
heart.
If your horses shy when your hired
man goes near, get another wman,
Ambition is af\\'a)'s conmendable,
but when it gets topheavy it is like a
fat man on a banana peel.
Put every tool in its place; the dull
ones by the grindstone. Or, if you
have power, by the emery wheel.
Some peopie spend so much time
preparing to enjoy the hereafter that
they find little or no pleasure here.

tn the hash will cause mora hard feel

The dpublic has emphatically spoken. The popu

Firestone Gum-Dipped Cord.
A standard of service has been set by these fa
mous tires without parallel in the past. It has
brought a sales increase of 1949 for the past six
months over the same period of a year ago—the
greatest gain in all Firestone history.
The Firestone Gum-Dipped Cord is the mighty
achievement which has enabled Firestone to break
the tremendous record of past Firestone success.

results in economical mileage of the Firestone
process of double gum-dipping. The buying-swing
toward Firestone shows how it has advanced the
public’s standard of tire value.
Ask owners about Firestone performance on theiz
cars. Note the big taxicab fleets Firestone-equipped.
Watch the new cars you see—just from the fac.
tories; Firestone Gum-Dipped Cords are seen every
where in fast increasing numbers.
Get the maximum extra mileage that only the
Firestone name assures you. Only by insisting on
this name can you be sure of getting the genuine
gum-dipped construction.
