Cold War's Challenge
YEAR ago this mid-summer many feared a third world
war was not far distant. The Russians were making
dangerous passes at our Rerlin airlift and elsewhere were
displaying extreme pugnacity.
Today theer is a general feeling no war is in sight, in-
telligence sources report Russia shows no signs of an immi-
nent attack. Instead the world seems to he settling down
to a long continuation of the so-called cold war. This leads
to the question of how we are doing in the cold war. Are
we winning, losing or just holding our own?
Archibald MacLeish, the poet and new deal protege,
believes we already have lost. Writing in the Atlantic
Monthly, Mr. MacLeish says the United States has bank-
rupted itself politically through fear of Russia. He doesn’t,
however, make a reasonable case for his remarkable con-
tention.
Much more convincing is the appraisal made by the
distinguished British historian, Arnold J. Toynbee, in the
Woman’s Home Companion. Mr. Toynbee sees no prospect
of a third world war but believes the cold war will go on for
years and the western world will simply have to accept its
worries philosophically. In his opinion, however, we can
turn the Russian challenge to good account if it inspires us
to set our own house in order.
Mr. Toynbee likens the cold war to “a kind of wager”
in which each competitor *‘is betting that he can make his T,,K sTORY: a wealthy widow,
own way of life so manifestly superior to his rival’s that ' Mrs- Ev‘‘rNOn- who Mtom that an

O is
a quotation from a speech
made in the United States senate
in March 1878 by Benjamin Har-
vey Hill. In these days of increas-
ing government controls, socialized
medicine, federal welfare setups,
and the wildest orgy of spending
the people’s money ever has
known in the United States, I feel
it worthy of a verbatim repeat in
our own local newspaper. I lifted
it from a Nashville, Tenn., paper
which in turn had taken it from
the Atlanta Constitution, a flour-
ishing daily in Atlanta, Ga.
“But, sir, I have said I do not
dread these corporations as in-
struments of power to destroy
this country, because there are a
thousand agencies which can
regulate, restrain and control
them; but there is a corporation
we may all dread. That corpora-
tion Is the federal government.
“From the aggression of this
corporation there ran be no
safety, if it is allowed to go be-
yond the bounds, the well defined
limits of its power. I dread noth-
ing so much as the exercise of
ungranled and doubtful powers
by this government. It is, in my
opinion, the danger of dangers to
j the future of our country.
“Let us be sure we keep it al-
' ways within its limits. If this
; great, ambitious, ever - growing
| corporation becomes oppressive,
who shall check it? If it becomes
wayward, who shall control it?
If It becomes unjust, who shall
' trust it?

“As sentinels on the country's
| watchtowers, senators, I beseech
you watch and guard with sleep-
less dread that corporation which
ran make all property and rights,
alt states and people, and all lib-
erty and hope its playthings In
an hour and its victims forever.”

us on that path rather than to deflect us from it.
We believe the great majority of Americans—who have
willingly accepted the hardships already imposed by the
cold war—will be swift to reject the whining, defeatist con-
cepts of Archibald MacLeish and his spiritual brethren. In-
stead they will embrace the inspiring concepts of men like
Arnold Toynbee.
Such men know full well that the world never has been, ____
and never will be, without its- troubles and terrors. Their j Bess catastrophe and this fear
message is that we must never despair but must cheerfully
and purposefully make lemonade of the lemons life hands
us—whether as obscure individuals or as great nations. As
long as we can do that, we shall be winning the cold war.

The Young People’s Bible class of the First Christian
church held a picnic Saturday evening on the North Cana-
dian river. Those present were A. 0. Jacobi, teacher of the
class, Miss Bertha Sawallisch, Miss Louise Wewerka, Miss
Gladys Penwright, Miss Gladys Ryan, Harold Simes and
William Van Dyke.
Mrs. W. R. Mowre and daughters, Esther and Ruth,
entertained at a farewell party Saturday in honor of their
guests, Miss Eva Brock and Miss Zuma Brock of Berwyn.
Twenty-six guests were present for the evening.
Mrs. George A. Booton and children and Mrs. Barbara

A van parked beside the road.
And again Mrs. Malone could not
sleep. She was pursued by dreary
thoughts of frustration and hate
and destruction.
The Bomb idea was the worst—
it kept creeping in, against all rea-
son. And just as Rudy had said
about the beach: pretty soon a
wave bigger than the rest came in,
and there you were, all wet! It
was very late when she finally
dozed off.
The realization of motion woke
her. She got hastily out of bed,
fearful lest she had overslept and
that breakfast would be late. But
when she lifted the metal blind, it
was still dark outside. She could
see nothing except the blurred out-
lines of rock-masses, and as the
road turned, the wheeling of the
handkerchief tied over her hair
and under her chin, sat beside
Rudy, giving directions.
"Where do you suppose we are?"
Mrs. Malone asked the Marchese.
"This feels like New Mexico to
me."

A disinterested glance through
the blue gauze curtains.
“I do not know," he said. “Mrs.
Everson is guiding us to our des-
tination."
He put the flute aside and with
a gesture invited Mrs. Malone to
be seated.
"Oh. I couldn't, sir,” she said
pointedly.
"Sit down,” he repeated. “Tell
me about yourself.”
She said there was nothing to
tell, then surrendered to the
understanding in his eyes and
talked for an hour, mostly about
Joe.
"We were so happy together.

a cross word. We knew what v;e

I told you the things we did. We

I mean we didn’t want to make
the headlines.

i "Joe didn't like what's been hap-
pening in the world. You see
we were old enough to remember
when it was a good place to live
in. I mean, when nobody could
tell you what to do or how to
think. Joe hated the taxes and the
controls, the credit bureaus and
the time payments. He believed in
individualism—said it made for
character. But now, he said,
Americans were getting samped
out like an issue of currency, all
alike.

Raymond Dirks of Happy, Tex., told officers today ,
that he had been taken by four strangers about a mile south I
of El Reno, knocked unconscious and robbed of $20, Chief

on the nerves. Joe waJ a funny
one. I don’t suppose you ever saw
Will Rogers? Joe was like him.
While Joe was alive I was happy.
We dodged modem life and hid
inside our dreams. On rainy days
we liked to watch the widow-
panes streaming water while we
were cozy inside, drinking coffee
and reading the great old
stories . .
“Malone," the Marchese inter-
rupted. "Malone! Joe was a lucky
man."
"I was lucky too, sir,” Mrs. Ma-
lone said quietly. "That is, until
I lost Joe. Then I was the most
unlucky person in the world."
“I said he was a lucky man." the
Marchese repeated.
"Weren't you ever married, sir?”
"Yes,” he said.
A mist blurred his eyes. He
fumbled on the sofa beside him
for the flute.
“Yes. My wife died seven years
ago. in a German prison camp. She
was a political prisoner. After she
died, I escaped.”
He blinked and smiled.
“Strange, Is it not, that violence
has become such a commonplace?
We find ourselves in an age of
savage cruelty.”
He broke off, lifted the flute to
his lips and played a few notes.
Then he paused and said:
“Did Joe ever tell you how
pretty you are?”
"Yes sir. But since he left I
never look in the mirror any more.”
“You should.”

Problem a Day
A contractor estimates that it
will require 15 carpenters and 10
helpers 24 days to put up a certain
building, but he has only 12 car-
penters and 8 helpers available.
How many days will the work
need?
ANSWER
30 days. The men available are
4/5 of the number required for 24
days; divide 24 by 4/5.
