Why Bert Won
First Prize
Folks weren’t surprised when
Bert Childers won first prise fo^
his corn at the county fair.
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.

SPEECH .
CULTURE
BY BEATRICE L. 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.

‘USO WILL NEVER DIE’
There is always a strain of sadness in all good-byes, and so there
is with the closing of a USO club.
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!
Do you have? How Come? Where's checkroom? Where’s writing
paper? Gonna dance? Where’s the girls? Sew Lady? How much and
how many? Got a room? Which way? Which bus? How far. Thanks
a million! Goodnight! Sleep tight! Goodbye!

personnel for giving me some of the most delightful contacts of a
lifetime, .a moment of triumph, knowing that my smile many times
brought a smile to a face that was wearing a frown, .a satisfaction
and a divine joy in the fellowship of USO, which gave us courage,
strength and faith to carry on.. a peace ip accomplishment of some
thing that seemed to help me all the time while doing it. .that I have
grown in the art of liVing for USO Volunteer service has enriched
my mind and given nourishment to my soul. 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.

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.

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. But after all we have

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. Dodson in the American Mercury. The hopes and aspirations of
thousands of young Americans are being destroyed by the cancer of prejudice in our in
stitutions of higher learning. .
The G. I. is struck with awe when confronted with this situation. 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. I. considers this deplorable situation as a
I “staggering indictment of our democratic pretensions and a challenge to our national
J sense of decency.” The prestige of “American Fair Play” is receiving a resounding blow.
.- Not until scholarship is made the basis of admission, rather than race, color, or creed, will
I a solution worthy of American traditions be found. t

Attorney General Tom Claris
announced at the opening sessior
of the New York Herald Tribune's
fifteenth annual Forum of Current
Events that 2500 witnesses hat
been questioned by the FBI sines
President Truman ordered an in
vestigation of the lynching of the
four Negroes at Monroe, Ga. An
awful lot of witnesses to not sift
out one member of the mob of cuT
prits. . What about justice ? Or did
I hear you say, “justice for whites
only”. . Wait a minute, this is our
own Democracy.
But I guess the Department of
Justice had better not do too much
investigating around the local
counties of the State as they
might infringe upon the Sacred
States Rights and believe me thosc
constituted privileges do protect
the sovergein states even if they
do wish to permit lynchings, jim
cmw and the like. . *
I was just thinking about the
Georgia lynchings, Georgia and
its white supremacy election laws.
Guess you know the majority of
the folk there didn't want Govern
or Ugene Talmadge to be their
boss, but he was elected just the
same.. He managed to ease in by
the way of the County Unit Elec
tion system. We talk about dic
tatorship in Russia. We had better
settle our eyes on the Talmadge
machine. .It’s getting mighty po
werful. don’t mind, it will grow
up to manhood before you know
it.
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.
It is rather strange how such men
as Talmadge, Bilbo, Rankin, exert
such a sentimental appeal to their
constituants. Do the voters in Ga.,
and Mississippi not realize the men'
who represent them in the law
makers’ chamber or head of the
highest officce in the State is do
ing them a great dis-service in
fermenting racial discord? Or do
these men represent a general

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

Don’t be afraid of doing too much.
