A guy in jail is guaranteed a job. He is also guaranteed a fixed annual \rage. He is guaranteed food and shelter. ff he's in for life he's guaranteed an old-age pension and securitl. So, with folks who want everything guaranteed in life, they must take the surrender of freedom that goes with it. Probably the only fellow that can \ "guarantee" is the Government; and ' the only way the Government can "guarantee" is to put us all in a virtual chain gang and divide the potatoes we raise. Therefore the question: Do you want everthing guaranteed for you, or would you prefer FREEDOM and the risks that go with it?

Henry Ford died the other day. Much has since been printed about him. I think he was the greatest industrialist the world has ever known. I think he did more for the cause of the man who works with his hands than any other man the world has ever known.

Away back yonde, n.l"tolirrrla *rr", world by announcing for his employes a daily wage higher than even the most ambitious worker had ever dreamed of asking for; and a shorter day than any worker would have believed possible of attainment.

Ffe was the most outstanding specimen of the "rugged individualist" this nation has known. He believed in high wages, short hours, but he likewise believed to exactly the same degree in hard work and generous production. He thought and taught that the wise way to lower prices was to increase pay; and get increased service as a result. ***

Starting from scratch and making his monumental business success through nothing on earth but his own efforts, he left behind something for all men to aim at. Of course, he lived in a time when such things were definitely more possible that they would be today. Whether another such success as that of Ford could be achieved-+ven by another Ford-in such times as we now travel through, is very debatable'

Henry Ford will be quoted for his practical wisdom for all time to come; and justly so. FIe was just an oldfashioned fellow who believed that "he profits most who serves best." He thought a man should benefit according to his ability, according to his efficiency, according to his work accomplished. Nothing in his life astonished him more than the philosophy of recent years that the weak and the strong, the lazy and the vigorous, the honest and the shiftless, the dependable and the unreliable-shoulil all share alike from the industry they serve. That, to him, was pure heresy.

Last year a Detroit writer who knew Mr. Ford well, wrote a very interesting opinion of him in a book called "Detroit is ,my home town." In order to describe what sort of unusual man Ford ruas, this writer whose name is Malcomb Bingay, says that if Ford and two other men stood on one corner of a city block and agreed to meet at the opposite corner of that same block (through the block, 'understand?) the two other men would go around the block to the point of meeting, but by some process unknown to ordinary nrran Mr. Ford would go straight through on a direct line, and be waiting for the,m. In other words, he did not have to do things the normal ordinary way, but followed a way reserved for the great men of the world. Such men impress others that way.

Martin Dies, ex-chairman of the Congressional Committee to investigate un-American activities, must feel mighty good these days. , For everSrthing Martin Dies tried to tell the government and the nation for a string of years, is now acknowledged and well publicized fact. And they crucified him for it, and practically hounded him out of Congress. His warnings against the infiltration of Communists into every phase of our Government, and into every nook and corner of our national life, brought him villification. Now the whole nation and the official Government itself, loudly proclaims that what Martin Dies told about our left-wingers was true and more than true.

We all know now that the staternents he made were actually understatements. It was much worse than he declared. Yet, from the White House down, he was "denounced and denied. belittled and belied" for the warnings he kept sending out. Now the FBI, the Justice Department, the White lfouse, and all the responsible agencies of the Federal Government are openly fighting these dangerous elements that Martin Dies spent so much time uncovering. Martin Dies should feel highly gratified. He knew what he was talking about. ft was his traducers who did not know; or knowing, acted very peculiarly to say the least.

President Tru.man got on the line first and ordered every government employee with left-wing opinions or affiliations hunted dor.,rn and fired. A few years back when Dies was exposing them by the bushel, either nothing at all was done about them, or, if they just had to be fired, they promptly showed up in some other corner of the Government, still on the payroll. This time we're going to get rid of them. "Put only Americans on guard," said George Washington. * :r :r rf a country i" to ,.rnli" Jr."i, it must be toved by its citizens. A decaying country is one, as Joel A. Spingarn said, whose citizens have only a tepid love for it. Lack of love of country is lack of love of everything else. According to Spingarn, "love of country symbolizes love of family and home, love of the daily task, religion, politics, the whole universality of which the individual is a part."

Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, one of our great fighting heroes, is .making speeches denouncing the left-wingers in this country, and his suggestion that they be all sent to Russia with a one-way ticket in their pockets, is meeting with strong acclaim. Ffor,v are we going to expect to successfully fight Communism abroad, if we can't eradicate it here at home?

J. Edgar Hoover, head of FBI, is warning this nation that there is no doubt on earth but that the Communist movement in the United States deliberately aims to destroy this government. f heard another distinguished American say the other day that it is a fact that Com,munism is being taught today in practically every high school and college in this entire country. They start their infiltration of Communist teachings by declaring that the capitalistic system and the free enterprise and private ownership system, has failed, and something better must be found to take its place. How long are we going to allow this rapidly growing cancer to €at into our vitals?

I never thought much of i"rr"-"" how to make friends and influence people, but Harry Emerson Fosdick hits the bullseye in that direction when he says: "The love of persons is another highway to real knowledge. About the most certain kind of knowledge we possess is knowledge of people. We do not get this vital knowledge by merely scientific processes. We learn truth in .this real.m mainly by insight, intuition, sy/npathy, appreciation, friendship, and love."

A man died the other day whom I have known for many years. His friends took up a collection to bury him. And when I heard of it I distinctly remembered the times in years gone by when he was the hardest man of my acquaintance to reach in his own omce. The guardian of his gate used to make the caller filI out an entire personal questionnaire before he could get to the inner office. I don't suppose the unnecessary "dog" he put on during his palmy days had anything to do with his rapid business decline-or did it?

Whenever I call on a man and have a lot of red tape to go through in order to get to see hi.m, I arn reminded of something that was said about one of the truly great business men I have known. A visitor, on leaving his office, said: "When you enter his office you find yourself in the presence of one who is no slave to time. His attitude is that of a man of leisure. He is a receptive listener. He sends men out carrying with them a feeling of elation." ***

When some amateur comes to see you with an idea he wants to talk about, don't let his possible inexperience condemn his right to approach the subject. Remember these facts: a school teacher with no experience in cotton created the cotton gin; an army officer was the father of photography i the electric motor was developed by a bookbinder; the typewriter was developed by a farmer; the pneumatic tire was created by a doctor; the typesetting machine was the idea of a grocer; and nu,merous other great blessings that have come to industry and to the vrorld in general were from the minds and hands of amateurs along those particular lines.

John W. Fisher Lumber Company, Santa Monica, has enlarged the display room by taking out the private office. This rvas done to make room for a display of Pabco paints which they are now carrying. A new private office has been put in at the back of the display room. This has been finished in Weldtex paneling, and black walnut plywood wainscoting.
