FRIDAY NOVEMBER 2, 1923.
The people who just work for
their own enrichment, can not com
plain if their home town drags be
hind.
THE ARMY AIR SERVECE
A committee reports to Secretary
Weeks that an alarming condition
exists in the army air service, due
to shortage of flying personnel and
equipment.
Our people hate war, but if they
are going to have any army at all,
they must have a modern army
which shall be good as far as it
goes. An efficient small army is
necessary in these troublous times,
to show the world that the American
people have not become effeminate.
The air service will do a big share
of the work of the next war, and an
army without a good one will not
be worth much. The air force need
not be large, but money enough must
be spent to keep it up to date and
efficient.

WHAT SUCCESS DEPENDS UPON
Many people think that if they
lived in some bigger place, the op
portunities would be bigger. But
as they go on, they find that success
does not depend upon location, it
depends upon the individual. The
bigger the place, the more competi
tion one has to meet, and one gets
lost in the crowd.
As a general rule, people do best
in the environment that they grow
up in. The city boy becomes used
to city ways, and is usually better
off to stay there and build up a busi
ness in the environment he knows.
Similarly the country boy becomes
used to country ways, and can adapt
himself to them better than to a new
location. A multitude of country
boys are doing well in country life
today, because instead of dreaming
of making fortunes in unknown
scenes, they just looked around them
to pick up the good chances within
reach.
LIFE AS A GAME
Teachers, clergymen, and others
who obtain a close-up view of the
younger generation, feel that these
people just coming on the stage of
life are going to have quite different
conceptions from those hitherto pre
vailing.
One of the ideas held by many of
these young folks, is that the older
generation have weighed and pond
ered too much and they take life too
seriously. This does not necessarily
mean that the young crowd will
waste any more time than their fath
ers and mothers did. They have
more time than their fathers and
mothers did. They have more amuse
ments offered them, and may seem
to waste more time. Yet they are
good workers, full of ambition, and
deal more than the generation that
is passing off the stage ever did.
“I look at life as a kind of game”
said one of these young fellows the
other day. “It is not such a won
derful thing to win, nor such a ter
rible thing to lose as you seem to
think it is.
1 am sick®f so much hesitating
and worrying. It is better to keep
acting, even if you make some mis
takes. Eventually you will win out
that way, because you learn every
time you get thrown down.”
Of course these young folks are
making a lot of blunders. Many
times they could avoid troubles if
they would take the advice of their
elders. But there is something in
the way they plunge into things that
arouses admiration.
There are many of the older peo
ple who have frittered away half
their energy and wasted their pos
sibilities, by their hesitaions and de
liberations and inactions. What
life needs is some kind of a golden
pnean between the headlong rush
of the young crowd, which believes
in taking chances and running risks,
and the over caution of the older
folks, who need more of the game
spirit in life.
The people who won't clean up
their places this fall because winter
is coming so soon, won't probably
be able to clean up next spring be
cause then they'll be tod busy.
CIVIC CONSCIOUSNESS |
In the early days of American de
velopment, a large degree of com
munity spirit was inevitable, ' Take
the case of the poineers who went
out from the East to settle the prai
rie states, The %fl;u to pro
vide cehools Of&{ dregn, moral
standards, just tween-man and
}mzn, means for transportation, etc,
they must constantly co-operate.
i So while they improved their own
farms and devolped the wilderness,
they were all the time working with
}e‘ach other, to build up the essentials
‘ot community life.
~ But after a community becomes
;settled for a period of years, after
it has ecquired some of the basic es
sentials of life, there comes a tend
ency for many people to lose thig
sivie feeling. They have the insti
tutiong that are vitally necessary to
their comfort and well being, and the
tendencey is for people to give their
lives to just two ends, earning their
own living and making money, and
zoing in for sports and amusements
‘hat will give them a good time.
Manifestly when a lot of people
concentrate their attention on these
objects, the strong desire for com
munity improvement tends to fade
out of their minds.
That is what is the matter with
a 1 lot of cities and towns today. The
people or the bulk of them have no
strong civie consciousness, and are
not deeply interested in projects for
rommunity developement.
We need in Leesburg just as
in most other places, a rebirth of
home town pride, an intense loyalty
Lo our own community, and a desire
0 see it go ahead. One of the ways
‘o promote this feeling, is to per
suade people to own their own
homes. The man who owns the
house he lives in is more likley to
»et interested in the progress of the
nlace where that home is located.
“PASSING THE BUCK”
IN POLITICS
~ An official from another city who
was serving on the board that pro
vided relief for the poor of his muni
cipality, once said that the most dif
ficult problem he had to handle, was
to make other cities and towns do
their fair share of the work of sup
porting those needing relief. As he
looked at it, this phase of his work
might be called a kind of legitimate
passing of the buck.
He described how he had to con
tend with the officials of other. cities
and towns, to determine who was
responsible for this or that family
that had moved from one place to
another and needed help. Many
rities and towns were always trying
to put off on others the responsi
bility for such families that had been
on the move. It was a game calling
for patient investigation and some
cleverness and knowledge of the law
governing these points.
This official did not play the game
in any heartless way, as his com
munity was generous to poor folks,
and desired to dodge no real respon
sibility. But it had to look out-that
no bucks were passed to it that did
not belong there. So life is full of
this form of competition, in which if
one does not take care, one will get
loaded up with many bucks which
really belong to others.
The game of passing the buck is
played very actively in political life,
though perhaps no neore so than in
business. The old type of gumshoc‘
politician has been very skilful at
it. He knew how to dodge respon-‘
sibilities, avoid committing himself
to any great extent, and how to
blame somebody else or some other
party for things where he was equal
ly at fault. : |
The people appreciate willingness'
to shoulder responsibility more than
ever before. They admire a man who
resolutely faces a situation that be
longs to him to handle, and will
make an honest try to meet it and
fail, rather than be remiss in auty. 1

THE FEAR OF HARD WORK
There is a good deal of complaint
nowadays that people are extremely
afraid of doing any Lard work.
Many women find this specially no
rticeable. Not many houzewives now
adays can afford to employ servants,
but there are many who hire things
done, and they find much disinelina
ltion to hard work.
They say that many women will
not scrub a floor, or mop a porch,
or go up on a step ladder, or get
down on their hands and knees. The
housewife may feel perfectly able to
do these things, and things that by
performing such active tasks, she
may be preserving her physical vi
gor. But that does not prove she
can induce other people to do them.
Such a condition is the reaction
from the period when there was a
tendency to overwork the women
who performed household services.
Many of them worked 70 hours a
week or more, they had uncomfor
table accomodations, and their hours
‘were irregular so they were cut off
from social life. Naturally they re
ibel]ed from these domestié tasks,
‘which got a bad name, so that now
there is a scarcity of that kind of
workers. Thus conditions have gone
from one extreme to the other.
It ought not to hurt people to do
’vigorous labor, if it is under healthy
‘conditions, and the hours of work
are not too prolonged. People some
times complain because they get
lamed up while doing a job of work,
‘but they might get equally lame if
they played lawn tennis.
~ People who hire help ought to be
conscientious about overworking
ithem. At the same time those wio
‘work must realize that men and
;women are meant to work industri
ious]y and actively, and that a penal
ty has to be paid by those who are
'fearful of good honest physical ef
fort.

THE
RIGHT THING AT
THE RIGHT TIME
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
COURTSHIPS
IT WAS not long ago suggested in
England that the elergy ought tc
open a school for courtship. The sug
gestion was made quite seriously, ag
it was pointed out that msny young
people meet clandestinely because
they find no sympathy at home. The
man who made the suggeStion seemed
to think that this condition could be
renkg'dted by the methods he suggested.
Really it scems as if the troubls
usually lay with somebody else beside
the young man who is doing the court
ing and the young woman who Is be
ing courted. It usually lies with ap
unsympathetic family., Ngbody, pes
haps, can blame the family. It is ut
terly unpleasant for the tired fathar
to come home from a hard day at
work to find that he must leave tha
family living room that erening free
to his daughter and a young man whg
wishes to be his future son-in-law. It
is far easier for father and mothes,
big brother and little sisters, to di#
port themselves comfortably aboul
the family Hving room—and then far
the young girl and her swain to meg!
at the street corner and spend the
evening at a moving picture show.
If there is a reception room or par
lor or drawing room, well and good,
fer that may be put at the dispos:|
of the daughters of the family, and maj
be made inviting to their friends
Courting days don’t last forever. Anj
remember that the sacrifices you maj
make now will be well repald in the
greater happiness and chances fer =
successful marriage that your daugh
ter will have later on. - £
