Yet the judges admit it wasn’t just because Bert had the finest •ears of corn. He knew how to dis play them: neatly arranged, With the husks cleanly trimmed, and the booth white and spotless. “Trimmings’’ sure make a differ ence no matter what yon’re offer ing—as Andy Botkin, keeper of the Garden Tavern, well knows. Andy doesn't just sell good beer. He sells it in a place that’s clean and attrac- ' tiv*... in nice surroundings that belong with the enjoyment of a wholesome beverage of moderation. And Andy, of course, is a whole hearted supporter of “Self Regu lation.” That’s the system by which the Brewers and tavern keepers - themselves make sore that taverns selling beer are clean and orderly. From where I sit, people like Andy also rate a “First prize.” Not just for the quality of the product —but for the “trimmings” too. Copyright 1946. United States Brewers’ Foundation.

MORGAN How To Overcome Lisping, Stammering and Stuttering Lisping usually arises from the use of the sound “th”. instead of “s”, as for example ‘‘thith’’ for the word “this”. It is a defect due to incorrect usage of the tongue. It is either held in too extended a position, or it is placed against the teeth instead of further back in the mouth. One could correct this condition by a sincere effort in the right directon. Reading aloud is one of the means by which you may overcome this defect, and it is well that you practice before a mirror so that you may watch your articulation. To overcome the habit of lisping, speak care fully, and pronounce your words distinctly, with a knack of listen ing to your words with precision. It is advisable to consult someone who is an authority on speech de fects, when ordinary methods fail. Stammering like lisping can be overcome by persistent efforts. There is a time when almost every one stammers, especially when they are excited, grief stricken, frightened, or eager to speak. One must practice reading aloud each and every day, reading slowly, and sounding each syllable. Never speak in a big hurry so that your speech will not use its power or force. Stuttering like stammering, is somewhat of a habit, and remem ber, some of the greatest orators stuttered at one time, but by faith ful practice, they overcame this defective speech, and you can too.

My thrilling experience in USO Volunteer service would not be complete without a word of sincere thanks for the privilege and honor of serving the men and women in the armed forces. The Lamar Avenue USO club of this city has presented to me the 2,000-Hour Pin of Award, which I appreciate very deeply and am very proud to wear. When I look at this little pin with its three stars. I HEAR the tramp, tramp, tramp of big feet, little feet, medium-sized feet dressed in heavy GI shoes and trim, brown dress oxfords.. the sound of deep voices, loud voices, soft voices, happy voices; laughter, music, singing, merriment, rejoicing, griping and teasing. .Hello Mom!

Yes, USO has been all these things and more too. There should be nothing but gratitude and praise for the job done! by USO. Its influence has been both invisible and intangible, and IT WILL NEVER DIE, but will become a part of the whole world and help keep freedom, love ond justice alive. Mi[y memories of USO will always be fresh within my heart, and nothing will thrill me more down through the years. —Mrs. O. T. Ailes, USO Senior Hostess, Wichita Falls, Tex. * _________________________ WHY USO MUST CONTINUE To The Editor: The other day I heard someone say, “The war’s over. Why continue USO?” Sure the shooting war is over. But try to tell the thousands of boys “sweating it out” in hospitals that they no longer need entertain ment. You’ll get a rather grim reply. Maybe no reply at all. And this tight lipped silence is worse, because the fear and uncertainty in a hospitalized man's mind is a terrible thing. Ever go through a veterans’ hospital ? I don't want to play ‘Hearts and Flowers’ but such a trip would make this letter unnecessary. The convalescent has a lot of time to think. What does he think? I'll tell you! He’s wondering if people have forgotten. That’s the worst of all his fears.. that he might be forgotten. That can eat the heart out of a strong man, frighten him more than a hail of bullets. There’s a difference though. The enemy he could fight. But in- | difference from his friends and even loved ones..he can’t fight that! That’s why USO must continue. The veteran needs diversion. USO hospital shows provide the smiles and laughs that are often just what the doctor ordered. Psychological wounds of the spirit do not respond to the surgeon’s knife or the doctor’s medicine but often heal mirac ously under ministrations of the USO entertainer. Best of all, when the hospitalized veteran wakes up in the night he can remember a recent show and smile again. That's a lot better than staring into empty space. Maybe some folks are wondering, .how come this guy knows all this? I lost both my arms and a leg at Guadalcanal. _Ted Jones, Lake Mills, Wisconsin LIFE AT A GLANCE By David Bethe It is rather hard to deviate from discussing World Problems, but somehow one is inclined to think often of the lighter side of life.. as if there is any lighter side these days. About the only thing light at present is the air we are breathing, and believe it is full of international controversies. It is stifling at times. Let’s look, or tane a quick glance at some pleasant evidences of our great Democracy, .or are they pleasant or confusing? Take for instance, the ads in the street cars buses, and the glittering displays along the high speed highways. . Look, there is a brewery company urging its patrons to sip the most delicious beer in the world. .Then there is some Nationally known distilling company showing the picture of a neatly put up quart of whiskey surrounded with a back ground to inspire the thirst. Funny but the temperance unions has an other name for all these ads.. too much drinking. In the street car the other day I saw a beautiful woman clad only in a volumptuous girdle and bra seir. She stood behind a wounded soldier gazing at his bandaged leg. Under the torrid pose of the woman was the name of a fash ionable corset manufacturer. Over the head of the wounded soldier was a Red Cross sign saying. Give freely to the Red Cross. What a contrast.

Recent surveys indicate that widespread racial and religious discrimination in the lib eral arts colleges, as well as in the professional schools, is increasing at an alarming rate according to Dan W.

There were no fox | holes with “Restricted" signs and bullets didn’t change their course because a racial or rc» | ligious “Quota" had been reached. The G.

Well, there were political aug ments in Germany about party rights but it turned out, that only one man had any right to think there and look at Germany today.

So wake up America, straighten up and start living right. DON’T QUIT By Ruth Taylor There are times when doubt and discouragement confront even the most valiant—when we seem up against a stone wall in which there is no gate. We see no way out of our immediate problems, and these swamp us—mentally and spiritually. Then is the time to stop and take stock o fthe situation. To look at things in their proper perspec ! tive, to see what in our OWN thoughts is the stumbling block. It was Shakespeare who said: “Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we often might win bj| fearing to attempt". Long before him, Seneca had said “A great pilot can sail even when is sail ist rent”. To both men the cure for defeat—for doubt and discouragement—was action. When those three enemies con front you think not “What can I do!" But “WHAT can I DO?” There may not seem to be a way out—but there is always a way up. Pause and look up. Turn your thoughts to the eternities. Pray not for relief but for guid ance. Still your soul for a while. And then return to your problem. Consider it not as a stumbling block, but as an opportunity—an opportunity for you to gain in .strength in the solving. A chal lenge to use your God-given in telligence. If you tackle your difficulties in this manner, you will be shown what to do. You will be able—by first mastering yourself—to face \ the issue squarely and to make your own decisions honestly and a : - 3l—:rrrx=ll i~~ IQ Compliments of « Douglas COFFEE Co. 112 SOUTH 11th ST.
