ganizatmn can be time well spent. Whether it is a school. । hurch. fraternial. civic or social group, each has their own g. H- t a> hievc for the betbrm.nt of .something. In this mod rn d p and age. free tune is much more abundant. This is due to the modern convenient - that makes living ea der an 1 faster whether it is making a living, cleaning the house or working in thp yard More leisure time is available to just about everyone. This can ne good or it can be bad. Idle time well spent in the activities of a club or group can prosper manv. Idle time just wasted often leads to trouble. Time we]] spent with a club or organization of some type can greatly aid a community and the people of that area. This can be the difference between a community that is progressive and one in which a person is glad to call their home or one that isn't progressive and on" in which people are some*what ashamed. A person who is a good worker in one group can help a community much more than one who is a member of several groups and does nothing progressive for anyone. Even a good word about your community, a smile on your face and a friendly greeting is a true trademark of a happv area. Do your part in supporting your church, school, club or organization and see the returns you receive in helping others as you reap that one great harvest yourself, satisfaction of a j<>b well done.

Battles in the far corners of the earth are tied by strong, invisible hands to what happens in our Hoosier kitchens, our corner grocery, drug stores, shoe simp, drygoods stores, laundry, lumber mills, paint shop. hardware store, motion picture theater. If we bought freely everything we wanted, many of our fighting men would lack shi es, clothing, mattresses, medical supplies. There would be fewer guns, tanks, planes and ships. On the other hand, if the sellers of goods took advantage of that greatly increased national income which is competing for the limited amount of goods available, another kin I of enemy-the war ogre, inflationwould score a victory. The office of Price Administration warns us that tile threat of inflation, high living costs, is not licked. Our surplus buying power still is mounting while farm products and wages are loopholes in the price control program which will need serious attention. If living costs me rmt to soar as in previous wars, farmer- will have to t ike less fur their products, workers will h ive tn give up the idea of unnecessary wage boosts, and business profits will have to be CUt. 1928 Kohs School Reunion Was
