Editorial
It Seems Familiar
During World War II word came out from some
department that there was a critical shortage of
aluminum that must be overcome then and here
if we were to carry on our war effort. And the only
way to do so in time was to gather up aluminum
k€*ttles, pots and pans from every home in the land.
I was a small child at the time hut when we
got word that the collector was coming, I lost no
time in hiding my little aluminum capgun. Just
in time too, for here came the Superintendent of
Schools and some high school hoys to sort out our
stuff. We just couldn't part with our tea kettle,
coffee pot or stewing kettle so it was decided that
my folks would give the big double cakepan that
tfiey had received for a wedding present.
It was such a prized possession that we felt
more than pleased with our contribution. At the
time we didn't question the need for it. But later
on when a good sized spot on the outskirts of town
was enclosed with wire cribbing and then piled
high with aluminum utensils, we began to wonder
as the weeks went by and no use was made of that
mound. We liegan to wish that we had that cake
pan back. For my part all sense of guilt about my
capgun gave way to a feeling of thankfulness
Finally, the war wat* won and the peace wan
lost ami no use had t>ecn made of the housewife’*
.rottHure.
There was some grumbling and some talk of
investigation but nothing came of it and we just
decided we had “been took”.
Ttxlay the situation is in reverse — word has
come out of whatever departments such word comps
from that some procurement agency has made an
unconscionable profit by buying three times as
much strategic metal including aluminum as would
ever be needed
Again a hue and cry has gone up for an in
vestigation.
It recalls memories of our cake pan!

The Neiigh Leader
Thoreau said. "If a man does not keep pace
with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears
a different drummer. Let him step to the music
which he hears, however measured or far away.”
This statement on conformity is one of the
simplest and most !>eautiful in our language. It
says exactly what each of us would like to say
when we are out of step and begin to feel the pres
sure of the big group
We handle our non-conformity in different ways.
Most of us take a skip and get into step with the
rest. Thoreau preferred to live alone.
