Americans In The Near East Soviet Russia's "Iron Curtain," according to some re- - ports, is mainly a defensive device. Apparently there is a '.genuine fear that if the miserable millions of Europe and Asia could glimpse the luxuries enjoyed by the masses in the capitalistic United States, the cause of Communism would have tough sledding. Piercing the Iron Curtain with the ". story of what politically free men can do for themselves, is a problem that is occupying much thought these days and -the expenditure of a lot of the taxpayers' money. Against this background of near frustration, one positively encouraging note appears. A group of American oil companies has introduced -and inspiring example of the Am.erican way of life throughout large areas of the Middle East, ' by development of Arabian oil. The importance of this move 'to develop the resources of Arabia cannot be overestimated. As Fortune Magazine say: "If those resources, are developed with foresight and with vision and with a new regard for the 50 million people of the area, then a hopeful prospect emerges. ' "These are immense stakes ; and by one of the great . ironies of history the issue will be decided not primarily by the United States government, not by the British foreign office, not by the planners, but by the forces of corporate initiative and corporate resources. ' "As ambassadors, the American oilmen have no easy

-role, but if successful it will be a momentous one. Their business in the Middle East pits free enterprise against the

wiles and propaganda of the Communists; American democ-

-racy agamst totalitarian -authority. The results of the test

i will determine the decision of the 50,000,000 Middle Eastern

-ers whether it leaves them still in poverty, chaos and serf

dom, or. whether it brings them orderly progress and a de-

cent way of life in which the seeds of democracy can sprout."

This is a large order. But there are strong indications

that American enterprise will measure up to the responsi ability circumstances have thrown upon it.

Dear Editor:

I have, always liked the boys in

and around our fair city. As I was ' reading Thursday night's Times, my eye caught these

words,' "more recreation and a- 1

musement for the teen-agers in our city." I am all out for the

kids here and I would like to see

them get something that they would enojy, not only today, but

for years to come. That my friends is a swimming pool in

Suilivan.

Like you, I am a taxpayer and

like to see the youngsters enjoy

themselves. Let's try and do something. Let's try and get a swimming pool in Sullivan so the

kids can learn to swim. It is bad

that they have to go outside of town to some mudhole to do it.

Stagnation is one of the many

dangers involved in such mud-

holes.

How about it folks? Let's act

now. Next November we vote. This is what I would like to do.

Let's have a special ballot and

vote yes or no on this question.

For the sake of the young people in and around Sullivan let's appropriate taxes for a swimming pool in Sullivan. My friends for the sake of the vounger generation let's go to the polls and vote yes to this question. ; j Your friend and strong friend for the young people. 1
