W O W O W I 1 :r i ''I EDITORIALS Down Memory Lane A Favor Daily The Hoy Scouts of America, one of the finest organization we know of, has as one of its foundation principles this creed of dointf one Rood deed a day. In other words, Scouts are encouraged to do one yood deed a day, to help someone in some way, so that they will make some contri bution to human relations. Our thought is that this rule is a good one for local citizens, as well as for Hoy Scouts. And, if you will consider it a mom ent, it will work wonders for both the com munity and for those participating. Many days pass when most of us have a little extra time, or have an opportunity t help a neighbor in some way. Too often we assume the attitude that life is a dog-cat-dog affair, and that our neighbor can shift for himself, as he apparently leaves us to shift on our own. Yet, a little consideration and kind ness, and a helping hand, even if unex pected, will work wonders. Humans being human, your kindness and your considera tion will not only set an example but will react in a sort of chain reaction. Uefore too long, one's helpfulness will become con tagious and he will soon find himself on the other end of friendly and beneficial gestures on the part of his neighbors. If life seems somewhat dry to you, or if you seem to be somewhat dried up in the opinion of some of your associates you might give the Boy Scout rule a trial. lo one favor a day for someone, and watch the results. In the long run, the person who will have benefitted most will have been vou. Getting Better There are some people who wonder whether the world is getting better, and whether human beings are making pro gress, despite the many improvements of the modern age. It is not possible to secure statistics to measure the progress of mankind in some lines, but medical men assert that 2,000 years ago the average length of life was twenty-five years. Today, they say it is sixty-six years. This looks as if progress has been made along medical lines. We believe that it can be established beyond doubt that the average standard of living has also moved upward through out the world. Nor have we much doubt that the same can be said for education, economic activities and the social relation ships that exist between human beings. YEARS AGO Soenniehsen store was cash registers robbed Howard's Homespun There are still people who hunt the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
