AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
GET ACQUAINTED
It is astonishing how slow
many people are in getting;
acquainted. Not merely do
strangers find it hard to make I
friends, but old-time residents
will not speak to each other.
People may meet each otheri
on the street for months and j
even years and never give any !
sign of recognition. Yet they j
know each other very well and j
would like in most instances to 1
get acquainted, but they have i
not been introduced.
These same unbending people j
may be charming in their own 1
circles and full of kind and
generous thoughts for others.
Their attitude does not necess
arily mean that they are proud
or “stuck-up.” It frequently
is due to an exaggerated feel
ing of propriety or bashfulness,
an idea that they will be con
sidered forthputting if they dis- j
regard strict etiquet.
A town where this spirit ex- j
ists has a cold pall of distance
stifling its people. They cannot
form friendships they need for
their own welfare and the de
velopment of the community.
People get false ideas of each
other and look on each other
as haughty. They draw back in
their own little shells, and no
neighborly spirit is developed.
Needless to say, this is a de
cidedly wrong attitude in most
instances and especially so in
the case of small town resi
dents. In such communities
the residents should be much
like one big family.
For this reason we believe it
would be a good rule here in
Hyder when two men or two
women have met each other
enough to know each other by
sight to get acquainted without
waiting for introductions. As
isolated strangers they are an
obstacle to the unity of the
town. When they once get to
know each other, and discuss
their common interests, they
become good neighbors and a
force for community progress
and benefit.
SIMPLIFIED SPELLING
MUCH NEEDED
Our present complicated,
cumbersome and pompously
silly method of spelling has
no reasonable excuse for Lo
ing. and should be abolished.
The newspaper business, with
its allied printing trades,
brings out in most vivid man
ner the unnecessary waste of
time, labor and money caused
by the usage of millions of su
perfluous letters every day in
i the printing industry alone.
In the very article you are now
perusing there are dozens of
letters used for which there is
no real need or excuse.
Simplified spelling is coming.
A common-sense way of
writing or printing what one
means cannot be forever held
off by apathy, perversity or
human reluctance to give up
\ the old, familiar things.
Eventually, but why not now?
THE PROMENADE
A contemporary writer be
wails the passing of the old
custom of “promenading” on
pleasant evenings, and wishes
that it might be restored. And
his plea is not one devoid of
praiseworthy reasons.
Not so long ago the summer
twilight in almost every com
munity found groups of peo
ple—nice people— strolling
luietly along the streets, stop
ping to chat with other groups
and combining social inter
course, mild after-dinner ex
ercise and enjoyment of the
best part of the day in a fash
:on as inexpensive as it was
charming and conducive to
health and neighborliness. As
he champion of the promen
ade points out, it is a pity that
he fashion of tearing about in
notor cars, with little result
but the exhaustion of purse
and nervous energy, has so
completely superseded this
calmer method of enjoyment.
“Use your legs,” he urges. “It
ia cheaper than riding and
far more restful to body and
mind.”
Those who have the courage
to adopt his suggestion and
leaye the car standing in the
garage for a few nights while
they promenade, unhonked
and unhonking, in the peace
ful twilight, will find not only
that he is right but also will
find that they have been over
looking a most delightful and
healthful pleasure.
Just for Fun
And this is the sort of an ent
ry most of those household
budgets usually come down to: i
May 10. Received $-10; spent
it .
A bargain i3 the hardest thing
in the world to camouflage.
No one can be happy who
doesn’t keep on good ternu
with his conscience.
A local merchant says that
some people who buy on time
don’t seem to know when time
' leaves .off and eternity begins.
Fools rush in where wise men
secure seats in advance and
I take their time.
Wife: “Darling, don't you
think this is a duck of a hat?”
Hubbie: “Yeh, but I’d prefer
a cluck with a smaller bill.”
j We suppose that the wise guy

I itches there are in a mosquito

| peeps in a keyhole.

not be as easily supplied as our

None are so blind as those
who refuse to see that they
may be wrong sometimes.
Ben O— tells of a girl he met
down south who, when he
1 asked her if she would marry
: him, replied: “Certainly, Com
panionate, trial, or fight-to-a
finish?”
“Parthenia,” her father called
from the head of the stairs,
what time is it?”
“A quarter of ten, father,”
she answered sweetly.
“All right,” came heavily
over the midnight air, “but be
sure and start the clock again
when the young man goes out
for breakfast.”
A minister was horrified one
Sunday to see a boy in the gal
lery of the church pelting his
hearers in the pews below with
peanuts. As the good man
locked up and prepared to re
monstrate the boy cried: “ You
tend to your preaching, mister,
I’ll keep them awake.”
Famous Last Words: “You;
buy your own engagement j
ring, honey. I’ll pay you back
after we are married.

school teacher said I’ll go to
Heaven if I’m good.”
Father: “Well?”
Tommy: “Well, you said if I
eras good I’d go to the circus;
| now who is telling the truth?”
How Times Do Change
“Talking about birthdays re
minds me that bis wife last
! rear gave him a book entitled
“A Perfect Gentleman.” This
year she gave him another one
titled “Wild Animals I Have
Known.”
“But,Mabel, on what grounds
i does your father object to me?
“On any grounds within a |
nile of the house.”
! Mother, to city child on first
! visit to the country: “Now,
i Mary, you must drink your i
nice milk; you haven’t even!
couched it."
Mary: “It ain’t nice, mama,;
t’s nasty. I ain’t going to touch
it. I saw Uncle Tom take it
i.iglit out of an old cow’s tum
my.”
It isn’t the amount of food you
eat that counts; it’s what it
does to you. If you want to re

i There is only one reason for

'oo much.
It sems to us that a sure way ;
