GET READY FOR WINTER
Here comes winter. In a very
short space of time a large part of the
country will be experiencing rainy
days and cold nights. And not far a
way are the months of snow and sleet
and storm.
Winter is something td get ready
lor. That means buying new warm
clothes, or repairing and cleaning old
ones. It means buying wood and coal
and fuel oil. It means fixing that leaky
spot in the roof that has been neglected
during the dry summer. And finally,
to the wise householder, it means tak
ing special precautions against a des
troyer that waits for winter—fire.
Have your furnace inspected —
and have that inspection done by some
bo<ty who knows what to look for. It’s
no work for an amateur. Have needed
repairs effected at once. See that
chimneys and flues are properly clean
ed. Hard pressed heating plants in
bad order are one o|f the most prolific
sources of home fires. It’s no fun to
wake up in the middle of th^ night and
suddenly realize that your house is
burning away l>eneath you.
Winter means that you’ll use
lights oftener. Exposed electric wir
ing should be checked. Pay special at
tention to lamp cords under rugs and
around baseboards—they fray in time,
and when that happens a short circuit
may occur. Electricity, mishandled, is
one of fire’s potent allies.
Go through your whole house and
get rid of any arid all accumulations—
old clothes, old papers and magazines,
collections of rags, etc. They make a
fine starting place for fire —and spon
taneous ignition isn’t so rare a pheno
menon as you may think.
WELL EARNED PRAISED FOR
RETAILING
Just before the recently held “Na
tional Retail Demonstration Week,”
the President of the United States
wrote a letter to the head of one of the
leading retail associations. In that let
ter, he said: “Your observance last
year took place shortly after the out
break of tragic hostilities in Europe.
At that time I said it was essential, be
cause of this new situation, to prevent
any general rise in prices that would
absorb purchasing power and block
e^xparfpion of sales volume. All of us
can look back with pride now on the
nation’s retailers as well as other seg
ments of our economic life in prevent
ing a price boom.
“The need to keep prices in check
is as strong, if not stronger, than it
was a year ago. Prevention of any run
away rise in the cost o>f living is an im
portant phase of total national defense.
Because of the enlightened conduct of
the nation’s retailers last year, I am
confident they will discharge their re
sponsibility as well this year.”
The consumers of America know
how well retail industry has earned
such praise. Profiteering- would be a
very simple matter fcr any organized
group of retailers, and they could get
awa,y with it for a considerable length
of time. Yet not one major instance of
profiteering has come to light. To the
donftrary, the retailers of the country
are working in the closest possible co
operation with government bureaus in
fighting unjustified price rises. They
are helping show' the consumer how he
may obtain better products for less
money. They are featuring substitut
es fol* articles in which there is a shor
tage, due to national defense demands.
All in all, both the chains and the pro
gressive independents are pushing a
well rounded program, designed to
give every possible protection to the
consuming public—<even as it is design
ed to better the market for the produc
er.
Here is a public service of the
very first importance. Ybu can thank
American retailing for doing a fine
job in helping maintain our American
standard of living.
WOMEN AND LIFE INSURANCE
Women, according to well subtan
tiated legend, know a good thing when
they see it. And that seems to be true
when it comes to building up savings,
no less than in buying clothes or decor
atirig a home.
More than 17,000,000 wdpnen are
owners of life insurance. In a recent
year about 20 per cent of all life insur
ance purchases were made by the fair
sex. That is a very high proportion
when y|ou think that, even in these
days of equal rights, the great major
ity of wtage earners are still men.
The ladies deserve praise for their
foresight. For no one ever devised an
ecoirnmic protection for the individual,
male or female, one half so effective,
safe and certain as life insurance.
THE DANGER WE FACE
“We have in this country, both in
and out of government, a fairly large
number of persons who have lost faith
in the principles of private enterprise
and democracy—If the American pub
lic doesn’t soon recognize what is go
ing on, it will find one of these days
that our basic political and economic J
safeguards have been hopelessly under
mined.”
THE LOW DOWN FROM
HICKORY GROVE
If jyou have ever been out west you
have seen a hound-dog tearing up the
landscape, chasin’ a jack rabbit. The
whole performance, so far as I can re
search it out, is just a dog’s idea of do
ing something, useless. No dog would
get any real enjoyment gnawin’ on a
lean and tough jack rabbit, if he ever
caught one—Which he usually don’t.
But the human mind is half the
time kinda single track too, like a
hound?s. We tear ojit licketynsplit at
the drop of the hat on most any jack
rabbit political excursions that some
body will talk up. We never like it
where we are—we want to be else
where.
If som person tells us that the
grass is greertest on his side, we don’t
rest until we find out. And after we
do find out and get our vest dusted off,
we are a good prospect fo^ the next a
gent.
Maybe the next time, the pasture
really will be greener—anyw ay it won’t
be worse, this time.
Yours with the low down,
Jo Serra
STUDENTS SAY NO
LOGICAL ARGUMENT
AGAINST 3rd TERM
Washington—Students of Amer
ican history and others interested
j in political trends and the discus
j sion on a third term for President
Roosevelt agreed, after a confer
ence here this week, that the much
talked ‘3rd term’ had no place in
this campaign, so far as colored
voters are concerned.
A few students from Howard
University, who declined to permit
the use of their names, issued a
joint statement to newspapermen,
in which jt was declared that Geo.
Washington found it wise to avoid
any commitment on the question
of the number of terms a President
should spend in office.
From files in the Congressional
Library, it was 'earned that Wash
ington once said: “I can see vo
propriety in precluding ourselves
front the services of any man, who
in some great emergency, shall ue
deemed, universally, most capable
of serving the public.”
The diligent students also (tutt
ed the late President Grant, who
said: “It may happen in the fut
ure history of the country that to
change an Executive because he
has been 8 years in office will
prove unfortunate, if not disas
trous.”
The checkup by the students
placed advocates of Wendell Will*
kie behind “the 8-ball”, according
to campaign workers for President
Roosevelt.
UTILITIES DISTRICT
INSTALL NEW CASH
IER CAGES
Four new modern cashier cages
that provide customers with better
facilities for paying their service
bills, and facilitate the work of the
tellers, have been biult in the first
floor sales room of the Metropol
itan Utilities District. They were
put into use Saturday morning,
September 28.
The cages have a wide tnaible
ledge for convenience of custom
ers on Which they may rest their
bundles, handbags and purses and
count change. Lighting of the
cages and adjacent area has been
improved by installing flourescent
daylight units in the cages and
large indirect units overhead. The
hew lighting prevents eyestrain
for both customers and the tellers.
In each cage, the teller is also pro
vided a modern postude chair giv
ing greater comfort and helping to
speed up the work of waiting on
customers.
Modem, electrically- powered
cash registers record payments re
ceived, issue receipts and furnish
p, daily total. This also increases
efficiency and speeds up customer
service.
The private office of A- C. An
derson cashier, adjoins the teller’s
cages makilhg him available prom
ptly for consultation in regard to
customers’ bills or to answer ques
tions about services.
