— shoes were manufactured before March 1, 1944, and will be sold ration-free at retail for $3 50 a pair or less. Applications may | be filed with OPA District Office I beginning August 10, through September 8, 1945. Dealers must have the approval of the District Office before selling the shoes I ration-free. Reports reaching OPA show that some types of men’s and women’s low-priced rationed shoes are not moving out of the ' sellers’ stocks. Consumers are reluctant to spend ration stamps for some ower price dshoes and have instead bought footwear in the higher price brackets, Raw lings explained. As a result, civ ilians are losing the walking mile age represented by this footwear, and the longer t]ie shoes remain on dealers’ shelves the more they deteriorate in quality. The ration-free release should encourage consumers to buy and i^se these shoes to supplement rationed types, OPA said. In ad dition, it sihould reduce the num ber of applications to local War Price and Rationing Boards for special shoe stamps' 1 * CHAMBERS ITEMS Mrs. Genevieve Bell arrived at her home in Chambers Sunday from Grand Island, where she had been empolyed for seme time.

Dangerous Philosophy Last week The Telegraph ran a help wanted advertisement which i read: HELP WANTED—The Tele graph Printing Co., has an open ing for a high school boy who | would like to learn the printing trade. Part time work now dur ing the school year will provide this boy with spending money while he is earning a trade which : will prove valuable to him throughout his school career and in later years. Boy must be am bitious and eager to learn. This is not a temporary ‘big wage’ j offer but it is an opportunity a boy who is looking to the future. . interested boys will be interview | ed immediately because the po sitron is now open.” j At the time this editorial was written there had been no answer to the ad, and therein lies food for j serious thought. This editorial is ■ not meant as a condemnation of I the youth of today, but rather as a ■ comment on the times in which j we are living. By and large, today’s young people are no | better or no worse than i yesterday's. But they are , living in very artificial and dis concerting times—an era when the : sagacity of age and the virility and 1 energy of youth are being used to win a globe-spanning war. Those who have attained the required age have been called to the colors, trained into matchless fighting | men and sent to the battkfront where they have distinguished themseves repeatedly It is not about service men tijat ' we write Tilts editorial concerns the boys still in high school—clean cut, clear eyed, normal American boys who are demanding and get ting wages far in excess of those which their fathers earned for many years after they began sup porting a family, and more, per haps, than the fathers are earn ing noW. There is a philosophy existent today which says “I’m going to get mine now; the future can take care of itself.” It is a false and dangerous philosophy because the future has a treacherous way of boomeranging against those wtho haven’s prepared for it. Only a few years ago it was considered wise and honorable to learn a trade and steel onesself against the uncertainties of omorrow But today’s big wages have changed all that—and Uncle Sam is the worst offender of all. And because of all this, the boys of this generation aren’t taught to prepare for the future, aren't interested in learning a trade where the skIII of ones hands is the measure of a fine craftsman. The size of todays dollar sign is far too overwhelm ing, just as the size of tomorrows might be pitifully insufficient. No, we do not mean this as a criticism of today’s youth. But the parents might give it some thought. Inuafion must inevit ably have a false bottom and when that bottom collapses, the ones who fall the hardest arc those who have not been trained and skilled to take cal'® of them selves.—Sidney Telegraph.
