BARRETT The majority of us are by nature Iboth physically and intellectually lazy. We follow the line of least resistance. A prevailing motive is to gain success with the least possible expenditure of effort. Mechanical devices have disp l a c e d l a b o r . Conveniences for which our fathers sacrificed may be obtained now by merely pressing a button on an Electric switch. We rely on book ^yeviews for much of our current knowledge of literature. We are .. 'Content with the music of the ra- ; dio which has replaced the phonograph. When the latest phonograph 'was made, a battery was inserted ^jirhich automatically controlled its „v circular motion without the physical . *ffort of winding it up. We have * jtrown lazy in our thinking and are . 'willing to let the other half of the 0; %orld do our thinking for us. \Be- V<sause of our indolence, we have be- ; |tome a race of imitators. A certain rip starts a fashion and we follow It does not take long fdr a custom to gain momentum. In less - fhan six months thousands of women were coloring their finger nails. "A special kind of rouge becomes popular overnight because it is extensively advertised with a foreign ; liame. The value of an automobile teems to depend more upon its - Style than the efficiency of its en- " gine. Styles change for economic reasons, but we do not accept them for the same reasons. We are not . Sufficiently alert or resourceful to create something original. A factory manufacturing a simple but highly useful article had to junk all • its old machinery and reinstate new jbecause of the so-called futuristic design. As an advertising medium h certain design is used and immediately the original idea is lost in "a horde of imitators. We are too lazy to think of something unique and personal, so we imitate the idea *--f-of the other fellow. Actors imitate actors; writers try to produce the style of other writers; preachers imitate preachers. It is a strange world. "Nothing new under the sun" for the simple reason that we mortals do not exercise enough energy to produce something new. Why not try to be original? Why toot strive to be ourselves, whole and complete, unique and personal, with no effort discounted by plagiarism? Sham and pretense bring nothing real. "You may fool some of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all of the time." Read the biographies of Successful men and women and you will find that they dared to be origi- ,1181. The ideas which are responfor all our home comforts were original ideas. The modern drugs to conquer hitherto incurable . disease were discovered by men ivho dared to venture into the field of originality. Only the part of his, ; Own soul which a painter puts on canvas or a writer on the printed page, actually lives. It is more im- ; portant for this world to know what you think than what you think somebody else thinks. Too many of us are "dulled with the dust of other ' men's thoughts." On the common streets of life where man meets man, sincerity .is the most commanding virtue. If "you would win friends, be yourself. Dare to be original. Beauty <of character and personal ability shine from within outward. The true and successful lives not in the reflected light of another's glory, but in the light of that splendor hid within personality. Shun the lazy atti- . tude of artificiality. Dare to be -original. Be yourself. "Some faces make excellent masks: others' are like Geneva watches with crystal faces which reveal the whole movement." Let your face reveal yourself. 1 © Western Newspaper Union. Wm. M. Carroll, Atton# Woodstock, Illinois f EXECUTOR'S NOTICE Estate of Mattie E.

" 24-8 what lower than in 1937" is another sore spot Consequently, Mr. Rooseentrance into local campaigns, notably at Detroit, there was little of the unexpected in the picture. Tammany's defeat was in the cards after the primaries so nothing significant was read into the New York balloting. The setback for the C. I. O. when the candidates bearing their seal of approval were rejected by the people has implications. Observers believe it will enf: courage law-enforcement agencies in municipalities in handling strikes and violence "where they have heretofore wavered under threats of reprisals at the polls. Political big-wigs in the Democratic party are hopeful that the Administration will stiffen its back* bone in dealing with militant union, leaders like John Lewis, who likes tcf hint that members of his C. I. O. will vote according to his whimsical di$» tation. Others profess to see in the defeat of the C. I. O. ticket at Detroit a flare-back from the . wave of "sit-- downs" and other ' sabotage devices which paralyzed the Michigan metropolis for months.
