Let’s Clean Up And Up Our Community As our Southern sometimes say, "Spring came," to Dade County. When we see sparrows ing and all nature attuned spring, it is then that men up their paint brushes and men begin their "spring cleaning." local Already our brushes are plying their’ many of the business and soon many of our dences will also be receiving much-needed coat of paint will denote a pride and spirit which is esesntial to growth and development of community. of Let the citizens and Dade County continue wield the paint brush every home which needs glistens in the spring and Dade County becomes "Crown Jewel" of North gia. No Easy Road Back There is so much loose in political circles about "right to a job" that it has come almost "rights" have become with "opportunities." The United States tion and Bill of Rights tee every citizen rights that make him a man to enjoy the to go as far as he can, on his ability, ambition energy. Beyond that, ment owes a free man except if he is destitute mentally deficient, or capped in ways beyond control. Government then provide satisfactory for his care and is what government is for. to try to fool the people the idea that the owes a man a living and create and maintain millions of jobs, without stroying a free country, is hypocrisy.

As ernment or anyone else can p a n d, "opportunities," chances or advancement in ing standards are greater, in no sense are such "rights" to which anyone is titled, without respect to own effort to obtain them. History has shown that the people of any nation pend on government to their thinking and for them, it is only a short before they lose their their initiative and their dom. There will be no road to full employment prosperity after this war. Only a people who and save and do not look government for handouts, survive and retain their sonal liberties.

Spring Headaches Railroad men are getting lot of gray hairs these Here is an outline of the work, or rather a very part of it, facing the rails, summed up by an ofifeial the Association of Railroads: "The coal mine presages an coal heavy demand for ment to get the largest amount of coal above ground. The grain continues unusually There is still much wheat on farms, both in closed open storage, from last record-breaking crop. There also the greatest com crop history to be moved, much moist soft com. In East, there are now millions bushels of wheat stored in vessels in the harbors at foot of the Lakes. This must be moved out before opening of the navigation son on the Lakes to avoid laying these ore and boats going into their and proper service when Lakes open. This movement, anticipated, will cal If or average of 500 box cars day until the I(akes open." The railroads have anticipated, will call for are gradually wearing out lack of time, men and to keep them up. The War duction Board has cut the ond quarter allotment of steel for the railroads by proximately half a million The 600,000 tons requested replacement rail has been to 417,000 tons. The request steel for freight cars has cut from 250,000 tons, alent to about 13,800 cars, 135,000 tons, which make about 7,500 cars. And of course the problem of the railroads is same as elsewhere — tough and getting tougher. Railroad men have headaches this fourth spring war, but they are still the job done, for which the tire nation can be thankful.

T League, __•> that the 96 senators and the 435 members of the house were either Democrats or Republicans. As a matter of fact they are so labeled in the Congressional directory. But up on Capitol Hill in talking to the members, newspaper men, lob¬ byists and others around the con¬ gressional cloak rooms, a great number of these congressmen are tagged with labels of “Left-of- Center,” “Right-of-Center,” "Reac¬ tionary," “Tory," “Radical,” “Lib¬ eral," “Conservative,” or “Inde¬ pendent” or some other ill-defined label. As I sec it, this congress is ruled by so-called “coalition" groups, groups pressured for one reason or another, groups prompted by opportunity, by prejudice, by likes and dislikes and motivated by a great num¬ ber of reasons other than the traditional party convictions as we have come to know them. Whether this is a good or a bad sign, I don’t know. Some folks here say it might bring forth a “do-nothing" congress. Others say Independence of party labels is evidence of a strong aud vig¬ orous democracy. Of course there are many earnest and sincere men here ... a few stalwarts in both houses who will not compromise with expediency and opportunism . . . there are those who do not represent some bloc, some lobby, some pressure group but who still have the old-fashioned idea that they are here in Washing¬ ton to represent all the people in their state or district. This congress opposed Henry Wal¬ lace for secretary of commerce on the theory he knew nothing of big business and was an idealist. It op¬ posed Ed Stettinius as secretary of state and his assistant William L. Clayton because they were from the ranks of Big Business and were real ists. All three eventually were ap¬ proved. The reason I raise the question of whether or not this congress is re¬ sponsive to your will, and point out the formations of blocs and pressure groups and coalitions, is because within the next few months this group of men, particularly in the senate, must make the most impor¬ tant decision facing this nation since the Civil war. The people generally, I feel, favor ratification by the ate of the structure of the peace ganization under the framework the Dumbarton Oaks conference the Atlantic Charter. Reactions congress are good. Reactions to Crimea conference, generally, good, but here and there is heard a dissenting voice. Poland and nationalities have large groups this country. They have votes too. Twenty-five Years Ago. Former Senator James E. of my home state of Indiana, writing recently in his memoirs, described how the peace treaty was beaten years ago. Called into a conference with then Senator Lodge of Massa chusetts, Watson writes: "Senator, I don’t see how we are ever going to defeat this proposition. It appears to me that 80 per cent the people are for It, churches are very largely favoring it, all people who have been burdened and oppressed by this awful tragedy of war and who imagine this opens ■ way to build peace are for it, and I don’t see how it’s possible to defeat it.” “He (Lodge) turned to me and said: “ ’Ah, my dear James, I do not propose to beat it by direct frontal attack, but by the indirect method of reservations.’ ” Then Senator Lodge described how he would propose reservations on this and that to attract support from the various groups and blocs. And Lodge won 25 years ago and the people lost. And despite the optimism now for 4he peace ratification, unless the people who elected this con¬ gress are watchful, it could hap¬ pen again. Just remember that minority of a third of the sen¬ ate which scuttled the peace treaty after World War I. The groups and blocs are there. It still takes a two-thirds vote of the senate to ratify. The only factor, in this case favorable, is that leadership is not there . . . there is no one with the ability of a Lodge to lead in the fight against ratification. Preparing For Peace The gas utility companies of the United Statos will spend $1,- 400,000 a year for three years on an expanded program of in dustry research, national ad¬ vertising and general promo¬ tion, and manufacturers of gas appliances will add $200,000 to this program.
