THE OMAHA GUIDE A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER Published Every Saturday at 241820 Giant St OMAHA, NEBRASKA PHONE WEJbster 1517 Entered as Second Class Matter Maich 15. 1927, at the Post Office at Omaha, Nebraska, under Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. s' EDITORIALS When the draft bill— officially called the selective military service act— came before Congress, it was known that the great majority of the American peopld favored it. So did all the leading commentators. So did most public men, including both Pres ident Roosevelt and Contender Willkie. The country looked in wondering am azement at what the totalitarian pow ers were doing to once-democratic Eur dpe, and was grimly determined that every possible step should be taken to make sure nothing of that kind would happen here at home. Under those circumstances, it would have been a reasonable forecast that the draft mea sure would go through in jig time. But it didn't—Congress has seld om given more time to debating any measure. And there is a very good reason for that.**Congress did not want the draft bill—the great majority of the Senators and Representatives voting for it did so with deep regrets. They supported it, in brief, because they felt that dire necessity demanded it. And they know that once the bill became law, a great and as yet unreal ized change would have come over the American scene. This country has always been dead set against compulsory military serv ice in peacetime. It has always felt that enforcing men to take up arms when we were not at war was in direct violation of the democratic process and the democratic tradition. It has looked with a mixture of pity and con tempt on those European nations where for centuries every able-bodied man has been required to give a year Or two of his life, wrar or no war, to learning something about the craft of arms. And yet, despite that, once the menace of dictatorship became clear, the country reversed its previous stand and decided' that the peace-time draft was the lesser of the evils. The mechanics of the law are simple enough. Next month every man in the nation between the ages of 21 and 35 inclusive, will go to a place of registration and fill out a blank. Some 16,500,000 men will be involved, and by early next year it is estimated that 900,000 of them will be called to the colors. The men chosen will serve a year, and will be paid $30 a month. There is nothing in the law granting deferment to men with dependents and families deferment is specifically; granted only to those who, in the opin ion of the President, are filling import ant jobs in industries and callings which are essential to defense. It is believed certain, however, that men with dependents will not be called un less war comes. What will be the effect on our eco Inomic order? Only time can answer ’that question fully, but some of the re sults can be easily foreseen. The bulk of healthy, single young men will be temporarily taken away from the soc iety they are used to. They wion’t be marrying arid' building homes. They won’t be earning good wages and spend mg them. Their places will be taken by older men, or by men whose physic al status makes them unfit for military life. And when, the year’s training is over, these young men are released, another dislocation will take place. The draft law provides that every em ployer who is able to, must take the conscripts back, and put them in the. same jobs at the same wages. That will mean that men taken on in the meantime to do the wiork must be dis charged. In some cases, men who have spertt a year in the army will be slow to get back again into the routine: of their jobs, and that will involve loss i of time and money. All in all, the draft law will unquestionably create many a problem for industry no less than the individual. It doesn’t make a pleasant picture. And certainly, a peace-time draft is, in principle, opposed tio what this kind of r, country and government stands for. But few oppose the action of Congress in adopting it. Ill-trained soldiers, in modern war, become easily slaughter ed soldiers.

M .L.—Dear Friend, I have a daughter who has finished high school. Do you think that it would be best to send her to col lege this fall? It seems like she is much in love with a boy here. Ans: Pack her off to college right away. The training would be excellent and put the finishing touches to her. Money spent on educational purposes is mighty important and you can’t go wrong giving her the best education you can afford. ***** G. C. D.—Should we try to re deem the old homestead or would it be best to buy land elsewhere? Ans: I suggest that you buy land elsewhere and do not waste your money and time on trying to get the old homestead back a gain. The chances are that you couldn’t if you tried—and it would mean endless Worry and expense on your part. Forget it altogeth er and buy in a more desirable lo cation. ****** W. R. VV.—I have been in a hard stream of luck and I feel that 1 need your help. My husband is old and fate seems to be against us. Tell me what I should do? Ans: The only thing you can do is to look for a regular job and go to work. Your husband is get ting entirely too old to work, and you can’t sit down and wait for relief help. If ycu were to get a job your problem would be solved. ****** L. K.—I am living with an aunt and I want to know if she wants me to get out? Do you think I should make a trip to California to visit my other aunt? Ans: No, I don’t. You should take a little different attitude ar ound the house and try to be a comfort to your aunt. She is a bit disgusted with the way you act—but she doesn’t want you to leave. Make up your mind to help her more and try to be more cour teous for after all you are depend ent upon her for your living. M. S.—Last summer I went cff and was misled by a man. Now everything is over and I am back home. Now the boy I used to love don't pay me any attention at all. He used to say he loved me. Will he ever change his mind and forgive me? Ans: He never will. Don’t you think that you are asking a heck of a lot to expect him to take you with open arms and support your child? He has been hurt by what you have done, but he will look elsewhere when he wants a wife. You had better stop thinking about him and try to find someone else who appreciates you. ****** P. G.—Does my husband run wbmen the reason he doesn’t act like he cares for m® like he should. Ans: He isn’t guilty of that act. Your husband isn’t quite sat isfied with you as a wife—he can’t understand your “cool’ demonstra tion of love—when he first met you, you were everything but ccld and disagreeable and If you don’t change your ways he will get out and find him a gal. ****** H. B. N.—Since I have been knowing this girl my heart doesn't behave at all normally. In fact it cuts up and even skips jumps when she comes before me. Tell mo what I should do about it as I am positive that she knows just how I feel ? Ans: You need to go with more girls and have more dates. The very first love is usually the "most exciting’’ but seldom lasts very long. Make it a point to date the other girls in your crowd and I am sure that with a little more experience your heart will be controlled and you wont spend many sleepless nights.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK, OCT. 6 TO 12 Omaha will join in the national observance of Fire Prevention Week October 6 to 12 with a city Wide program designed to encour age elimination of fire hazards by home owners, business men and factory operators, Chairman P. K. Walsh of the Chamber of Com merce Fire Prevention committee said today. “The Fire Prevention Week is a good time to remove rubbish and effect a genuine cleanup of all premises since fires do not start in clean places”, Walsh said. “Reg ular cleaning, particularly in at tics, cellars and under stairways would prevent numerous fires which are constantly destroying American homes.” Walsh pointed out that in the presence of rubb ish. only a chance spark or flame is required to court disaster. Ev ery citizen in this community is urged to see that an reiuse unu other waste material is collected and destroyed( he said. Some suggestions have been pre pared by the committee to elimin ate hazardous conditions caused by rubbish. They are: “Combustible waste material should be removed periodically. If burned out of doors, care should he taken to see that no sparks cr embers ignite nearby property. A saf practice is to provide an In cinerator or mtal basket for burn ing such material. “Rags and cloths which have been used for polishing furniture and oiling floors are subject to spontaneous ignition if left exp ? ed to the air for a period of time. In order to overcome this hazard they should be kept in a tightly covered matel container, or elsw (Political Advertisement) destroyed. "In the fall of the year lRwns are likely to be covered with dry leaves. Serious fires are caused each year when piles of dry leaves catch on fire. BuryinK them will remove bad source of fire and at the same time enrich the soil. "Ashes should not toe kept in wooden containers. A Kood prac tice is to keep them in metal cans from from all contact with com bustible material.” ExSlave, North Carolinas Oldest Bachelor Dies at 108 Wilson, N.
