Peekin' 'Round The Corner There is considerable push today to buy American,, and be American. But how can we get Americans to think American? No other nation has been developed more by a people's self-confidence than the United States. Selfconfidence has been a synonym with the United States. A handful of backwoodsmen, led by a smaller handful of statesmen, launched this nation on its way. They had little but a huge untamed mass of land and a lot of self-confidence. During the Civil War, two sections of the country suffered terrible losses of men and property ~ because of an over abundance of self-confidence on,. J. 2. the part of both sides. The vast regions west of the Appalachian mountains were settled by people with little but self-confidence, and this country, unprepared for wars, entered both \ world wars with little else but its perpetual selfconfidence. ■ The Great Depression of the thirties was ridden out by people who had little left but their self-confidence in themselves and their nation. But, we seem to have grown prosperous and scared. The National intestines seem to be quavering a little. Take, for example, Russian propaganda. While we continue to bemoan the failures of America's space program, its foreign aid program, and its farm program, every item that pops through the iron curtain is considered as gospel truth. We hear that the Russians are gaining here, gaining there, and, laugh of all laughs, we even heard on the Fourth of July that Russia was responsible for creating some of the world atmosphere that led to the American Revolution. Nuts. The greatest thing the Russians have created in the past 44 years has been a propaganda machine that has led the world to believe that they are one hundred per cent better than they really are. This is not to say we can take the Russians lightly. We have to take them seriously, but with a grain of salt. It does not matter what the Russians or the Chinese dp. as long as we do more, and better. But, just like the runner, we do not win the face by looking over the shoulder at the competition. Once the stride is broken, it’s hard to regain. If there is any product that is uniquely American, one of which we should all partake, it is a national enthusiasm and self-confidence. It is a product that is used immediately — there is no surplus inventory. When production ceases, we are out of business. Editorial Writer Today - John G. Heller nadE TV PROGRAMS

~ — ——o | Modern Etiquette I By Roberta Lee a 1 '7"? Q. The members of my bridge club always put up a 50-cent fee for prizes when we play. When •someone has been invited to substitute for an absent member, is it proper for the hostess to ask this guest for 50 cents? A. In this case, the hostess can either pay the substitute’s fee herself, or she can inform her when she invites her that she will be expected to ante 50 cents. Q. If a knife has not been used during a meal, should it be picked up at the end of the meal and placed with the fork across the plate so that it will be taken out when the plate is removed? A. No; it should remain where it is on the table. Q. Is is considered polite to refuse a cigaret someone offers you, if you prefer your own brand? A. Yes; but refuse graciously, saying, “Thank you, but I have some.” O O 20 Years Ago Today ». — o July 13. 1941 was Sunday and no paper was published. •■" ' ; ' CfI ■ i ■*■■ I ■ " Fh»» M £M» Mia! ■ w » ; 1 tab/ >1 IRISH ROSE—Haming red* , haired Nova Lee O’Shea looks as though she might be one of the flowers herself as she smiles through this bouquet in Salina, Kan.

Two Officers Are Killed By Young Gunman KREMMLING, Colo. (UPD — A fifty-man posse waited with bloodhounds for first light today to close in on a young gunman who killed two officers and wounded two others before he was trapped in a steep canyon. The slight-built fugitive shot a state patrolman, a sheriff and a game warden on U. S. Highway 40 near Kremmling Wednesday. Then he shot an undersheriff at a roadblock 20 miles to the southwest. The killer abandoned his car, purchased recently at Sioux City, la., at the roadblock and headed on foot into rocky wilderness north of the Colorado River. The abandoned car, bearing lowa license 97-35420, was sold at Sioux City to Delmar Dean Spooner, 25, of Storm Lake, lowa. lowa authorities said Wednesday night that Spooner was not at Storm Lake, and was a “peculiar actor” who about a week ago was made to surrender a shotgun and a rifle to an lowa officer. Game warden Bob Hoover stopped Wednesday afternoon to assist a “young guy with wavy hair” whose car seemed to be stalled two miles east of Kremmling. Hoover saw a 22 rifle and several boxes of ammunition in the back seat of the car. The game warden went back to his own car, and radioed the state patroL Patrol Lt. Hiram Short and Grant County Sheriff Chancey Van Pelt answered the call. The young man did not have satisfactory identification, and they began searching his car. The young man pulled a luger from his pocket and started shooting. Short was fatally wounded in the stomach. Van Pelt was hit in the chest. Hoover went down with slugs in oth arms and the abdomen. The killer drove off, leaving the officers to be found by passing motorists. • Eagle County Undersheriff John Clark, 63, was helping to man a roadblock southwest of Kremmling when the suspect’s car pulled up. The killer jumped out, fired at the officers, and ran into the under brush. A bullet struck Clark in the jaw. He died Wednesday night at a Leadville, Colo., hospital. Miss U. S.
