If people could have everything they desired, they would soon get restless for something to want.

o Saving the country from its saviors is a little matter that

comes before the public every two and four years.

, UP TO YOU "Why doesn't our Chamber of Commerce do something about

it? What's the matter with the outfi t?" When questions like these are put to us, and who in the

community doesn't hear them at frequent intervals, we are al-ways disposed to answer: "Why don't you?"

Those who so frequently criticise all organized effort to pro-mote the community are usually the last onej to roll up their sleeves when there's a job to be done. They expend their energy in destructive criticism. They rarely feel that the local organiza-tion consists of all of the citizens of the community and its ef-fectiveness is always in direct proportion to the co-operation and assistance extended.

Why eternally wait for someboiy else to do the job or s tar t the movement which you feel demands attention. Undertake the task yourself, and see what happens. A little more readiness to help and less disposition to find fault will make our community a much more interesting place in whi^h to live.

o WHERE THEY LIVE HAPPIER LIVES

Often in recent years our interest has been directed to some article by a writer, an artist or a scientist who has moved from the noise, filth and confusion of a great city to the peace and comfort of the country.

They talk enthusiastically about the beauty of the rural land-p"ape, about the pleasure in remodeling an old home, about the fun there is in gardening, and the pleasure they derive through association with their neighbors.

These few people have discovered something new in life. Accustomed for years to the noise, rush and excitement of a great city they have come upon a rural environment with the enthus-iasm of an explorer who has found Arcadia. They cannot re-sist the impulse to tell others about the pleasure it has brought in happy, contented, stimulated living.

All of which leads us to the conclusion that many of us or-dinary human beings cannot appreciate the advantages we have. Here in Sparta life offers all the richness and pleasure that these artists and authors tell about with great enthusiasm. Yet how many people there are in our community who long for an op-portunity to move to the big city.

If we coulc} only come to realize that we get more comfort and more pleasure out of life here in Sparta than we possibly could in one of the great cities, there might be more of a general disposition to help make our town even better than it is.

consider what the machine has done in making more and better things available to more people.

According to the National Machine Tool Builders' Associa-tion, a large automobile manufacturer recently estimated that a car which today sells for $600 would cost at least as much as $3,600 if made by non-n.ass-production methods.

It isn't hard to see what this would do to automobile pro-duction when we note that in 1935 in the above $3,000 wholesale price range, 2,428 automobiles were sold in the United States and Canada. But of all price ranges somewhere in the neighborhoixi of 4,000,000 cars were sold this same year.

Here arc some other facts about what things would cost if made by other mass production methods:

A leading typewriter manufacturer estimates the cost of a typewriter at $1,000 instead of slightly more than $100.

An alarm clock would sell for at least $25, according to the vice-president of a leading alarm clock firm.

An electric refrigerator manufacturer states that refrig-erators made experimentally cost approximately six times as much as those made on production assembly.—Fremont Times-Indicator.

EVERYMAN'S RIGHT Thirty-five years ago, there was a serious coal strike. Pres-

ident Theodore Roosevelt appointed a special commission to set-tle it. The following extract from that Commission's report is as pertinent now as it was then:

"The right to remain at work where others have ceased to work, or to engage anew in work which others have abandoned, is part of the personal liberty of a citizen that can never be sur-rendered.

"All government implies restraint, and it is not less, but more, necessary in self-governed communities than in others, to compel restraint of the passions of men which make for disorder and lawlessness. Our language is the language of a free people, and fails to furnish any form of speech by which the right of a citizen to work when he pleases, for whom he pleases, and on what terms he pleases, can be successfully denied.

"The common sense of our people, as well as the common law, forbids that this right should be assailed with impunity. Approval of the object of a strike, or persuasion that its purpose is high and noble, cannot sanction an attempt to destroy the right of others to a different opinion in this respect, or to interfere with their conduct in choosing to work upon what terms and at what time and for whom it may please them to do so.

"The right thus to work cannot be made to depend upon the approval or disapproval of the personal character and conduct of those who claim to exercise this right. If this were otherwise, then those who remain at work might, if they were in the major-ity, have both the right and power to prevent the others, who choose to cease to work from so doing.

"This all seems too plain for argument. Common sense and common law alike denounce the conduct of those who interfere with this fundamental right of the citizen. The assertion of the right seems trite and commonplace, but that land is blessed where the maxims of liberty are commonplaces "

D |0 you get a kick out of a golf ball's click when you really lean into one

on the tee? Does your heart beat faster when the big fish strikes, and your singing reel almost smokes ? Can a brisk breeze and a taut sail make you feel like a kid again, forgetting care in the sheer joy of action? Mister, if you're like that, what a bang you'll get out of this big Buick I You'll go for the way it goes for you. You'll like the quick, eager spurt of its get-away, the buoyant, swayless steadi-ness of its travel. You'll thrill to the businesslike manner in which it settles to the pull, its quiet, dogged competence in long, tough going.

You'll welcome the way it cradles you over the bumps, the neat, compact, hand-ily mobile feel of it. You'll be proudly aware of its beauty, of the picture you make riding in its this-minute style. But don't forget this major thing—it's the buy of the season, price-wise as well as on performance! It's still selling at the lowest price in all Buick history—you can still get a big Buick eight for less than some sixes would cost you.

So don't hold back. Good things, you know, can't last forever. Don't pass up a buy such as Buick is at its low prices now.
