Every governmental official or board
whose duties include the handling of
public funds should publish at regular
intervals an accounting of it, showing
where and how each dollar was spent.
This is believed to be a fundamental prin
ciple of Democratic government.
Expect no favors and you will retain
your friends.
A smart man never abuses smarter
men; he imitates them.
The last word about women will be
spoken by another woman.
The freedom of the seas has now be
come the freedom of the seize.
Very often an individual's outlook
upon the world depends upon his school.
The individual who seeks to please ev
erybody is apt to lead a lonely life.
Most of the arguments that mar the
tranquility of life are the result of ig
norance.
The only way to make some citizens
contribute to the public welfare is to
tax them.
Ts some people nursed their character
like they nurse their bank roll, the world
would be better off.
A good town has good roads, good
schools, good churches, good people and,
most of all, good business.
It might not be too early to call your
attention to the Red Cross Roll Call,
which begins on November 11th.
With two Thanksgiving Days ahead of
us, the people of the United States ought
to be able to express their thanks.
The happiness and prosperity of the
people of Summerville depends very
largely upon the people of Summerville.
HIGHWAYS FOR 1960.
SOME YEARS ago, when highway con
struction began on a large scale, there
was the general idea that after a period
of major construction, the nation would
have the highways that it required and
that the expense of additional construc
tion would be limited.
Experience has shown, however, that
this is not to be the case. The number
of automobiles has increased and the de
mand for improved highways is more
widespread than ever. In fact, Paul V.
Huffman, president of the Studebaker
Corporation, says that an outlay of $50.-
000,000,000 for the construction of high
ways and streets will be necessary by
1960 to accommodate the 40,000,000 mo
tor cars and trucks that will be used at
that time.
According to our arithmetic, this means
$2,000,000,000 a year for new highway
construction. This is quite a sum. It may
be an interesting item for those taxpay
ers who have the idea that the future
will bring them reduced levies.
AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK
BEGINNING on Monday, November the
sth, the people of the United States
will celebrate American Education Week.
Since 1921, the ideals of education and
life have been advertised a bit during a
week in November. This year the subject
is “Education for the American Way of
Life.” Teachers and citizens are urged
during the week to rededicate themselves
to the cause of education and democ
racy.
This is one week that The News is
glad to endorse. While every good citizen
should be interested in the cause of ed
ucation and democracy throughout the
year, it is not a bad idea to emphasize
these subjects during a particular week,
which serves as an occasion for public
expression of our loyalty to the two
causes.
Education and democracy must go hand
in hand. Certainly, the success of de
mocracy depends on the education of the
citizens of a nation. To properly partic
ipate in the blessings of a free govern
ment, it is vitally important that the
citizens understand the process. It is also
important that they have a clear con
ception of their relatives privileges and
this can come only from the right edu
cation.
THE RED CROSS SERVES.
THE RED CROSS, which will launch
its annual membership drive on Armis
tice Day. had 5.666.680 members last
year. This is the highest peace-time mem-
bership in the history- of the organiza
tion.
It is also reporteil that the Reserve
Corps of Nurses attained a new high en
rollment of 24,479 and that nearly 16,-
000 nurses have been specified as the
“first reserve” from which the organi
zation can draw nurses in event of an
emergency.
The Red Cross, which has 3,700 chap
ters throughout, the nation, serves the
people of this country in peace as well
as in war. It has been extremely useful
in rendering assistance to disabled ve
erans and their families and last year
more than 150.000 ex-service men took
advantage of the services of the Red
Cross.
The disaster relief work of the Red
Cross is too well known to require spe
cific comment. While most communities
have little occasion to call for the aid
that the Red Cross extends, it is a com
fort to all to know that a national or
ganization stands ready to promptly pre
vent suffering in the event of a catas
trophe. If the Red Cross did nothing
more than stand ready for emergency re
lief to stricken communities, it would
deserve the support of the people of the
country.
ZANE GREY.
THE DEATH of Zane Grey reminds us
that he wrote more than fifty novels
and sold more than 17.000,000 copies of
them. Mr. Grey’s stories were not up to
accepted literary standards, but the peo
ple bought them. One sold a million and
a half copies which anybody will admit
is a pretty good sale.
While the author spent the latter years
of his life enjoying the fortune that came
to him, the early days of his writing of
ten found him hungry. His first book
was written in a dingy flat, under the
flickering gas lamp of a tiny kitchen. It I
was ( rejected by publishers anil finally
published by the author on borrowed
money. This was in 1904 and the book, 1
unlike his other novels, sold poorly.
In a few years, he used up all his
savings and those of his wife, who, how
ever, would not let him abandon his writ
ing. Again, he faced discouragement when
publisher's rejected "The Last of the ;
Plainsmen.” Later, he wrote his first :
Western romance, “The Heritage of the l
Desert,” which was a success from the
sales point, of view. Then came "Riders
of the Purple Sage,” which started his
great, popularity and rewarded him with
financial success.
The life story of this writer is filled
with dissappointments which would have
discouraged most. men. However, he re
tained faith in himself and lived to en
joy- the fame and wealth that was
rightly his.
Exports to Latin America have out
stripped imports since T 4.
Berlin says war is on to the finish;
angrily denies peace move.
Hoover defends his "defensive” arms
plan as -workable.
Roosevelt warns our sea frontier is
flexible to safety needs.
Internal revenue shows a drop for
quarter and September.
Germany annexes sections- of Poland
lost in World war.
Sentiment, for war decreasing in na

HALLOWEEN FUN
(Helen Dobbs, Eighth Grade, Summer
ville High School.)
Over the hills and far away,
The witches romp and ride and play ;
And over here, too, in the streets of our
town,
The witches and goblins and ghosts are
all ’round.
The Jack-o'-Lantern grins,
And the moon looks down
At all kinds of sights
Going on in our town.
We look out the window,
Goblins at the door;
They knock, then disappear
And we see them no more.
Then through the town
With lots of odd noise
Goes a great big troop
Os ghostly-looking boys.
Over there is a bonfire,
And apples to l>ob;
People standing ’round
Eating corn off the cob.
Over there a pile of pumpkins
Jaek-o’-Lanterns to make,
And over there by the bonfire
An enormous cake.
There goes a big man
With a great big load.
And over there is a black
Grossing the road.
A big, smiling Jack-o’-Lantern
Sits on the gate
And outside a man
Trips over a rake.
Now did you ever see
Such fun on any one night?
If you even try to sleep
You have a terrible fight.
If you want to have fun,
Pick Halloween for the time,
And I’ll guarantee you'll have fun
Without paying a dime.

Many- Christians think that because
victory is certain through our Lord, they
have only to drift with the current. The
opposite is true. While we are in the
world we must row against the stream if
we would keep our faces toward heaven.
Drifting is never the will of God.
