HERE’S OLD GEORGE AGAIN
It’s a sad saying, and usually a true one, not only in
sports but in the arts and politics and buriness and everything
else, that “they never come back.’ But there's one old champion; sneered into a cringing silence by the gibes of the intellectuals and the debunkers of the ferocious ‘20s and all but
buried by the New Deal free style philosophers of the 30s.
who is making a whale of a comeback. He looks better than
ever-——a little chastened by. all his persecution, pethaps, but
essentially the same competent, bland, laughing. optimistic
citizen. He answers to the name of George F. Babbitt.
Remmber him? He was an outstanding citizen of a rapidly growing town called Zenith, He was a go-getter. Given
his name by the arch-mimic. the author Sinclair Lewis, he
came to represent a figure that almost all of us recognize. He
was the fellow who had mottos and inspirational poetry and
sayings on his walls. He wanted the newest automobile, the
best refricerator on the market, He was uneasy in the presence
of lone haired poets. He was suspicious of the culture of decadent Eurore. He was given to spouting bromides. He was
no fool, but he was just a bit uncomfortable around extra‘bright people. He boasted of his golf score. He was a bit
awkwad in handling his women folks. He attended his luncheon club every week and sometimes spoke. He believed there
was no limit to the growth of this country. _ He thought his
home town was wonderful. He didn’t know much about art,
but he knew what he liked. =
The poor sap, what a beating he took! But he seems almost as good as new, perhaps even better. The tribe of George
F. Babbits is numerous. Some commentators have compared
Donald M. Nelson to Babbitt, and, come to think of it, perhaps there are certain similarities. Other Babbitts have gone
into the army, where they are said to be highly adept at picking up the meaning of this new-fangledword “‘logistics.’’ Others have been called to Washington, where, it is found, their
gadgets and filing systems and charts and graphs (those things
that once seemed so futile and so downright offensive to the
esthetes) really can perform useful services. Moreover George
knows how to work them. And in many a_ war _ industry.
where the call is to get things done and done right, and done
quickly, the man in charge is nobody but our ancient battlescarred friend.
Welcome back, George. Maybe, somehow, -some time,
folks can square accounts with you for all those dreadful}
things they said. They meant no harm, and it seemed like the
smart thing to do at the time, and you were such a set-up—}.
well, anyway, no hard feelings, we trust. — N. Y. HeraldTribune.
RATIONING
Agriculture Secretary Wickard directed OPA to begin
rationing about 200 canned, frozen and dried vegetables and
fruits as soon as machinery could be set up. _ U. S. civilians
will eat nearly one third less of these foods in 1943 than they
. have been accustomed to eating, Wickard said, but their diets
can still be well balanced and healthful. Rationing in the U.: S.
does not mean sub-standard diets. By e
OPA said the rationing would begin in early February
under the ‘‘point’’ system. Supplies.of goods to be rationed
will be temporarily and briefly frozen on retailers shelves and
in distributors warehouses, and before being issued a ration
book consumers will have to declare whatever canned goods
they have on hand so that these goods can be deducted from
their allowances. Heavy penalties will be imposed for giving
false information.
Under the point system, the housewife uses her stamps
when she buys rationed foods from the storkeeper, the storekeeper uses the stamps when he buys from his. supplier, .and
the supplier, in turn, uses the stamps to buy from his canner
or from another supplier. All along the line, there is complete
freedom of choice. And sincé the point values are the same
in every store throughout the nation, the retailer's business in
these rationed foods will be limited only by the point value of
the stamps he takes in from his customers. Thus, according to
Elmer Davis, Director of the OWI, competition in the trade
will be maintained, and a’minimum of record keeping will be
required of the storekeeper.
Bs PROGRESS OF PRODUCTION
(By Donald M. Nelson, Chairmanfi War Production Board)
The American people are entltled to a report on the progress of production on our first year of war.
Today we are making as many combat weapons—tanks,
nes, guns, ships—as the entire Axis. . Today the United
Nations together are turning out twice as many weapons as the
enemy. . :
But we cannot win a war simply by equaling or even outproducing our enemies. We must have a smashing superiority and keep it that way to the end. And we must remember
_that we cannot win by production alone. Victory will be won
on the fields of bloody battle—by our soldiers, sailors, and
marines—the best and bravest fighting men in the world.
I give you this solemn thought: The cost of keeping our
om will be measured not in money, in time, or producn, but in American lives. The boys who are fighting our
.s will win more quickly and with less loss of life if the
sroduction front give them every possible advantweapons—if we accept willingly and quickly
our lives that make such production possible.
Y
I wonder if in all the world there is any other adventure
more pleasant and ‘inspiring than that of making and keeping
a friend, It is good-to know that the realm of frieidship lies
‘open toArs all; we may explore it at our will and win for ourselves the treasures found within its botindaries.
The winning of friends may be easy for those who possess even a limited talent’ for friendship, but it requires something akin to genius to bind them with the unbreakable cords
of sympathy, understanding and good fellowship and make
them truly our own. =
Between friends there can exist no such blighting forces
As suspicion, jealousy or distrust. Confidence must prevail and
the pact of friendship must bear no hint of compulsion. To
hold a friend, one must refrain from encroaching upon _his
freedom.
A proper régard for the views and opinions of others is
necessary to the establishment and maintenance of lasting
friendship. Your friend may differ from you ‘politically, religiously and in various other ways; that is his privilege. Respect
his right in the field of thought as you would undoubtedly respect his right to select an occupation: In fact, much may be]

gained from a divergence of thought among friends, if we all
thought alike and reacted to our environments in the self same
manner 1,ife would tend to become innocuous.
Yes, one may differ with his friend. It is not necessary to]
belong to his political party, church, school of philosophy or
lodge. Ilustrative of this fact is the sincere friendship which
Robert Ingersol, the great agnostic. Wide divergencies of opinion never dimmed the light of this friendship or shook the
firm foundation of mutual regard, respect and understanding
upon which it was founded. Indeed these very differences
of opinion stimulated the minds of each and furnished the
spice which enlivened their hours of companionship. They
contended,. but not with bitterness, and from their friendly
arguments, came many rare specimens of badinage and stray
bits of repartee which biographers have delighted to record.
The winning of friends is a fine art and those capable of
practicing it are indeed fortunate. In the presence of a cherished friend one’ may be himself; no need of posing or posturing; no need for concealment or camoflage. Confidence and
understanding are the sure foundations upon which this fond
companionship is builded and in its blessed security one may
find refreshment, inspiration, comfort and serenity of mind.
Hold fast to the old friends, never let them go; but out
there in the realm of friendship adventures still await you.
There, ‘the friends you seek are seeking you,’ and there you
may find the pure gold of rare companionship and perhaps
from the storehouse of your own experiences bring something
new, refreshing or stimulating to the hearts and minds of
those you claim as friends —A. Merriam Conner.
