We believe Hi" Methodists of Du-
rant are on (lie right track in plan-
ping a building as u chinch adjunct
that Kilt serve foi a meeting as well
as a ruircation plain for the young
people. All towns mod siuh an in-
stitution and the hlggei the town
I ho bigger the need. Durant need
this institution badly and the ben
I'fitH that should ace-rue to the youne;
generation sin hardl be anticipated
Many people lemaik at the im-
ilcan condition of our paved streets
'and as this paper pees It the remarks
iiro timely. There Is no reason In
5 tho world for permitting litter to ac-
cumulate next to the curbs In the
'business i district. The streets are
swept it Is true and the trash haul-
ed away but in our opinion a mighty
poor Job is being done so far as
actually (leaning them up is con-
cerned There Is room for lots of
"improvement. Also let it be said
'clean towns call for much and must
bo clean physically just as well as
clean morally and socially.
We must pa in dollars for the vic-
tory that American scddlers helped
the allied soldiers to win with blood.
Tho Holdieiy has clone Its bit; but we
civilians have another great duty.
Tho war Isn't paid for; tho Hovorn-
ment says another five billion dol-
lars must be had and this is to be
tho Fifth and last the Vlctniy Loan
which will be launched in April. Oui
duty is just us plain as it was In the
former loans win if vlctoiy w.is not
in sight even in doubt it seemed
sometimes. V must buy Fifth
bonds- buy to the limit all of us.
Most of us live oui live 4 without
having oppoittinily of seeing and
meeting mid heating the re. illy big
men of the woild but those of us in
Durant and vicinity will have an op-
portunity limited only In I hi- thettio
space ot hearing one ol the win Id's
greatest men when "-l'iosident
