I last summer when Mr Nance was
i making his campaign he told us
I how Randlett got U S Highway No

I anybody with It but himself not

'"Until folks take pity on us and

This is addressed to the millions
of Americans who have Jobs and
incomes and money to spend Per-
haps they haven't as much lncomr
as they did a few years ago— but
the chances are that drops In the
cost of living have compensated for
their salary cuts and lowered divi-
dends These millions owe an obligation
to those other millions who are un-
employed and are facing a winter
of distress and poverty That ob-
ligation can be partially— but onlv
partially— met by contributions to
charity Of greater moment Is the
obligation to give their less for-
tunate fallows Jobs
Ail over the country there are
homes In need of repair People
have been holding back and refus-
ing to spend— waiting for better
times And yet it's as obvious as
the multiplication table that better
times will never come until money
again flows through the business
