|$>s;?.v 'l hfe fii THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday, September, 17,193f . - y GOOD WILL By LEONARD A. BARRETT LILT LAKE NOTICE OF It has been a long time since the, sang "Peace on earth to men of good will." Perhaps we need to listen anew to that unfinished symphony, as its fugue of divine harmony reverberates unheeded in so many of the major productions of human action. If the action as well as the abstract essence of good will were applied to some of our -]• * vexing .social problems today, - we V- '..'Would have the solution as well as • v.' -the formula. We-would understand /7 the truth of" actual experiment ip /the science of living. , The scientific ; '• :V^t'4iiethod';mu^t be applied to the -aft , •'•.'•.•.of living .as well jas to the -art of •-^'.-•learning. ' " - We think .of the ever req^rnng . problem of the adjustment of capiar. d labor. When labor is eon- ' *Vinced that it has been dealt with Sinjustly v»-e;have a strike. Now a •' • strike clearly indicates that some- ' * thing is wrong in our economic systern. The personal cause of strikes may differ in each industrial center •but the direct cause of all such disturbances is the absence of the spirit of good will and the presence - - of that spirit of rivalry and distrust which creates war instead of peace. In the mutual spirit of good will, many of these problems could be adjusted more easily and many mistakes amicably adjudicated. ' The spirit of good will will break • down cleavage lines which separate people into artificial social classes. . Sham conventionality and assumed aristocracy cannot exist with good will. Cultural progress demands a • better understanding of all social levels and a deeper Sympathy with . the higher motives of every individual and every race. Good will is the only sure social motif for the : multitudes that struggle for ah ade- . quate expression of life. ' Every merchant recognizes that the spirit of good will is a prime «. .requisite in successful * business management. He will go a long way to merit it and he knows th&t Without good will, he is at a disadvantage. Competition always considers the quality of service. Customers want more than mere commodities. , The spirit of good will is essential to the inner peace of one's own life. It disallows a. "spite fence" between one's lot and that Of his neighbor. Without good will true and abiding friendship is impossible to individuals or to nations, y The present condition in Europe ' Is illustration of the absence of good will. Distrust, suspicion and revenge are rampant. How can there be peace under such conditions? In , contrast, think of the number of years the border line between Canada and the United States has ex- * ' isted without forts or barracks to keep out the enemy. Why do the border lines between European r.ountries picture? : ' Is it not our civic duty to culti- ^ vate more earnestly the spirit of good will in the home, the neighborhood, in business and social contacts? Peace on earth will come 'pnly to men of good will. Peace cannot l?e bought with money nor < mechanically created. It is not the • result of education or legislation, but is a state of mind and heart made possible through voluntary expression of the salient ideal: Good Will. ® Western Newspaper Union. rABBY QERTIE GROWING YOUNG AGAIN McHenry, Sept. 15, 1936. Nice rain tonight, so Pete Weber and I got to talking about the good old days. Got to wondering about Martin, Mike and John'Thelen, John Swadish and 9 lot of others. Then we talked ° about snapping turtles and bull frogs. We tried to remember when we first actually learned to swim and had to give it up. The snapping turtles, especially, furnished a good discussion and we had. a lot of fun. , One time we speared several whoppers through the ice at the head of the mill porid. Fellows that would weigh ground twi pounds. We took them home and cleaned them in Tom Burk's smoke house in zero weather. The procedure was to_ put them in a big kettle of hot water. Of course the. heads were cut off. We would have them snap a stick and pull their necks out of the shell and chop them off. Well ,we cleaned the meat out of the shell it is said that there is seven kinds of it in a turtleand all good. I read recently that the fresh water variety is the best flavored of the species. The offal we left in the smokehouse and next day when we went after the meat, brother Herb happened to put the "insides" amazed to see"the hearts pulsating which they continued to do for hours. Turtle soup is very gtood eating and frogs. Say, those old frogs could b€ heard for a mile on a still night. One day we caught twenty-one of them and could not begin to eat them all and we fried them in butter. Reriiember the big gar fish that used to Swim lazily upon the surface of the river and when they came along fishing was no good until they were gone. No one ever ate gar fish-as they were long, slim and boney. Turtles are great destroyers of fish and ducks and we killed them whenever we could. < Pete and I discussed the bid days when young and old gathered on the ice for winter sports. Even Roll Waite would strap on his skates and glide about. One thing where ice skating is superior to roller skating is that if you fall^-do.wn, you slide along. The Riverside fixed up their d&nce floor for roller skating and I got so that I thought I was very good at it. 1 could skate backward, spread eagl£, etc:, but one night I fell down and expetted to slide along. Well, when I hit the. floor I just about stuck where I hit and when I got up my bones were sticking out through my clothes* in every direction. After that I stuck to ice skating, where falls are not so abrupt. i A couple of weeks ago, I was in- ; vited to dinner in the old Colby Block. , Sat- down in the dining room with its narrow matched floor of walnut and maple. Gertrude Engeln and her husband were my hosts. It was thirty- six years since I, had eaten there and you know a lump-came into my thioat that was hard to move. ,Dad and Mother, did not sit beside me and you can appreciate just how it was. W ell, the cisterns are all full of nice, corn •hereabouts is growing so fast that you tan hear the fields groan like an overstuffed boy. Hope some of the old timers will write again and we all want to hear from John Long again. I feel considerable younger, since in the old town, so am going to stay awhile longer as I'm coming to think that Mo- | Henry has what the old explorer Ponce De Leone was looking for, but could not find. Maybe if I stay long enough I'll get so young I'll have to start school- again which would be very gladsome, but when I enter the first grade I'll be too young to write for the Old Timers' Club.
