Reports from Sullivan County show that both the U.S.O. and Red Cross drives for funds are below the quotas set for the county. Why is it? Can.it be that the citizens of the county have forgotten what good both of these organizations do for- the nation ? " -Take the U.S.O. Now that the war is over, most of the funds that this group raises are used to furnish entertainment for the soldiers and sailors who are still confined to hospitals. They need the entertainment even more than the boys who were in service needed it. "A very few of the name entertainers are bothering to call at these hospitals to offer the boys a show. It could be, if you want to be cynical about it, that there is no box-office value in the appearances, as there was in entertaining the boys at the front, where the movements of. the stars was headline news. In the case of the Red Cross, they have a service to perform that requires much money. The Red Cross also is helping these boys who are still bed-ridden and who need some help desperately, if only to help build shattered morale. It is up to Sullivan County to remember the boys who aie in need of help how. One way to show this remembrance is to donate to. both the Red Cross and the U.S.O. "Give Now! . . . -

Millions In Bonds Issued By U. S. Are Unredeemed

WASHINGTON (UP) Tucked away in forgotten trunks, blended into the ashes of burned homes or .in carefully guarded curio collections are millions of dollars worth of government securities, long since matured and no longer drawing interest. These securities were issued between 1791 and the end df last year. They were for the purpose of setting up the new government, for building ships, for fighting wars, depression, pestilence, illiteracy and a host of oth

er battles faced by a democracy.

The Highest Loyalty There is a serious question whether the current proposals in Congress to outlaw the Communist Party are either sound or in harmony with the American tradition of freedom to dissent. But no such question can be raised over the Supreme Court's decision upholding the, right of the Civil Service Commission to discharge a government employee on the grounds that he is a Communist sympathizer. . - This is not an issue of civil rights, but of the integrity of the government service. It still is the privilege of any citizen to believe in any political philosophy that right is not denied by the Supreme Court decision. But the Court has held, and rightly so, that those 'who serve the government and draw their livelihood from' the Treasury of the United Stales should be loyal to the doctrines on which that government is based. . , That is entirely reasonable. No man can serve two mas ters, and it is a fact of record that the first allegiance of Commum'sts is to a philosophy alien to American beliefs and

institutions. Moreover, any appeal to the doctrine of freedom of opinion is spurious, since an avowed Communist exercises no such personal freedom; he is governed by orders from the

1 arty orders dictated not by American interests but by the

policy o:t a loreign state. It is for that reason that those of the Communist persuasion have been anxious to infiltrate the government service, not to serve the nation but to destroy it. It is because they thus could do the most damage to the

American system that they have been willing to take, per

jurea oaths, to deny their beliefs, and to give lip service to

the, nation they sought to betray.

ifte American government should serve the people of

the United States. It should be staffed only by those whose

icyaity is undivided and sincere. No traitors need apply.

But it is unlikely that any securities issued prior to 1917 and still outstanding ever will be redeemed. - Proof of ownership would be hard to establish. , Make Collectors' Items. Then, too, the older bonds are of value as collectors' items. ' .... The total of matured securities outstanding to date on which interest has ceased is $450,000,000. That includes about $13,000,000 of liberty' bonds and victory notes issued during and after World War I. It also includes $1,410,000 of securities issued between 1791 arid 1917, with interest. Most of the unredeemed bonds were issued in the last 25 years, however, and some of these may turn up. Back in 1791, when the fledgling government was trying to get on its feet after the war for independence, three bond issues were floated and together they amounted to about $64,000,000. It drew criticism of the thrifty citizens of the new nation. But Pres

ident Washington convinced Congress the money was needed. Two of the issues were at six per cent, the otner, of short-term duration,

Do Men Like Women?

"Pf" mm.

Vf-r

Maybe you read that recent article lit a national magazine, claiming that American men don't really like the company of women, fhey just put them up on a pedestal and . learc them there. But I wouldn't say that that was so in our town. Look at any mar-' ried couple like the Cuppers. Jane Wouldn't nag if Dee spent his evenings "with the boys" Out actually Dee likes nothing better than to stay home by the tire, sharing a glass of beer with Jane, playing cribbage, or just talking.

And when he does go out, for an afternoon of fishing down at Seward's Creek, or for an evening glass of beer at Andy ftotkin's Garden Tavern, Jane is almost always with him (except when she's got a spot of baking in the oven). From where 1 sit, respect doesn't rule out everyday companionship . . . and never should. ' They go together essential parts 1 of a successful marriage. '
