The Call ls For Courage

(Continued from Page 108)

It would require no world-beating brains to work out an infinitely better and more equitable arrangement for this nation's participation in world affairs than that which norv prevails. Let us pray we have the courage to develop such an arrangement-and fast.

The Saturday Evening Post, with terrific sarcasm, editorially suggests that since foreign countries haven't the dollars to buy our food, we lend them'.the money to finance their purchases from us. The effect is that the American consumer paid the taxes to buy food he was not allowed to eat and then had to pay higher prices for such food as he WAS allowed to eat, and now must lend money to "furriners" to buy the food he was taxed to pay for, and they get it cheap.

Surely, courage is needed to combat these and numerous other types of economic confusion. Let us pray !

Builders Can Lead Fight

(Continued from Page ll4) ties and deal rvith them accordingly. Time to build on something solid, something that is not dependent upon a subsidy, a bribe, or a gift. Something that rrrade the building industry of this nation the greatest of all nations of all times. Yes, it is a good thing, a fortunate thing that the builders of the nation rvill be slowed dorvn to the point rvhere they can devote one day a week to the business of saving our nation. You rvill shortly have the time, my friends, and if you or your children are to be more than socialized automatons, you will have to devote that one day per rveek to giving America back to the Americans. The builders of America still have rvhat it takes, and they will triumph----or they have rotted from rvithin and will disintegrate. \\rhich will it be for you?

Dear Jack:

I have often r,r'anted to drop you a line and tell you how much I appreciate your paper, and especially vour editorials and stories. For a "\Vlld Texan" you can preach a better sermon than most preachers. and. lvhen it comes to "razzing" some of our political greats, you can't be beat.

I have not been doing much in the lumber and mill work field in the late years, but I always read your paper as soon as it arrives. The information about all the old timers is fine, and your writeups of those rvho have passed on is very much appreciated. I have often wondered about what became of some of them. Your Christmas Story, also Abe Lincoln, were great and I hope you will have another fine one for Christmas this year. Your Joseph story gave me a new slant on him, and you hit the nail on the head there.

BEST WISHES FOR CHRISTIITAS AND NTANY

HAPPY NEW YEARS.
