Town Meeting Of Air
Didn't Help the No
Foreign War Committee
Yerne Marshall, chairman of the
No Foreign War committee, badly
muffed a real opportunity in his
debate with I)ean Acheson on the
Town Hall of the Air last Thurs-
day evening. In the first place he
didn't stay anywhere close to the
subject of "Is a Hitler Defeat Es-
sential to the United States?" and
in the second place he drove his
audience away from him.
Telling easterners, "when I get
bask in the United States again,
out in Iowa." certainly won't get
one an audience in New York.
Norman Thomas in a few min-
utes made one of the most brilliant
talks of the evening.
To judge from the To,wn Meeting
of the Air and comment in Life
and Newsweek, the No Foreign
War committee is not being any too
well received.
W*ith the President asking for
dictatorial powers it is important
that there be a strong opposition to
administration plans which threat-
en to embroil us in the war.
If congress passes the president's
defense bill it might as well go
home for the duration of the bill
as it gives the president unpre-
cedented powers.
No truer words have been spok-
en than those of Alfred London,
who in spite of his lack of political
"oomph," manages to hit the nail
on the head every once in a while.
In an effort to save democracy
for the world are we to lose it at
home even before we are directly
involved in the war?
Should You File An Income
Tax Report This Year?
Federal income tax blanks have
been received by many local peo-
ple since the first of the year. The
newspapers have been asked to give
publicity to the fact that the fed-
eral income tax law has ~been
changed and many people who have
never Inade an income tax report
are now required to do so.
Whether you received a blank or
not has nothing to do ~ith wheth-
er you should fill out a report. If
married and your gross income is
$2,000 or more or if single and
your gross income is $800 or more
you must file a report, whether or
not you have to pay a tax. Some
13eople think the government is
seeking to gather statistics on in-
comes for future taxes.
With defense spending running
into countless billions of dollars
the most certain thing about the
whole program is greatly increas-
ed taxes.
Raise More Hogs?
The recent statement of the De-
partment of Agriculture urging
farmers to increase their hog pro-
duction in 1941 caused "every ex-
perienced farmer to feel a chill,"
according to Wallaces' Farmer
which had the following conclu-
sions to this ticklish question.
"As a matter of good ,business,
it will probably pay Iowa and oth-
er corn belt farmers to expand hog
production a little this spring. But
they should be ready to cut down
.promptly next fall if the upward
swing seems too great.
"If the nation ,wants a lot more
hogs than this, there is no sense in
asking the hog producer to take~
all the risk. Unlimited production
of hog's could ruin even a war mar-
ket in a hurry.
"Until the government is ready
to sign the same kind of a con-
tract with hog farmers that it has
signed with tank and airplane
manufacturerS, we suggest that the
hog producer follow his own ,busi-
ness judgment, expand cautiously
and be ready to shrink production
again as soon as he sees trouble
ahead."
What's put off to a more conven-
ient time, invarably turns up to be
done when it is twice as hard to
do it.---Ex.
The very best insurance against
automobile accidents is a long af-
ternoon nap on Sunday.~-Ex.

EDITORIAL
Since it is the end of one se-
mester and the beginning of a new
one-~we should all be full of zeal
and energy to make the new se-
mester read more successes and
conquests than the last. It's like
finishing a hard problem in alge-
bra or physics. When it's all done
--whether the answer is right or
wrong--you can erase the problem
and clear away the mistakes,
failures, and discouragements, and
start all over with a clean slate.
However, in erasing th~se er-
rors, let's not make the mistake of
forgetting them entirely. By holding
in mind the slips of last semester
we can hope to avoid those during
the next. We must also remember
that though outside interests are
a great thing, they can be run int~
the ground. We must all consider
what we already have to do---then
if we do take on something else
we must do our 'best to keep up
with everything and if we do get
behind, remember--we have no-
body but ourselves to blame.
Above all we must all strive to
do better. You know that to ac-
complish your day-dreams you
must stop day-dreaming and make
them come true.
MVHS 38, ~VE~I? BRANCh[ 43
Mount Vernon's basketball team
lost a thriller down at West Branch
last Friday night. The final score
was 43-38.
The Maroons got off to a fast
start and led by an 11-7 score at
the end of the first quarter, but in
the second quarter their defense
fell to pieces and West Branch
went out into the le~d 21-14, at
halftime. In the second half, West
Branch continued to build up a
lead, at one time having a thirteen
point margin. It was not until late
in the game that the Maroons, aid-
ed by Hutchinson's accuracy from
far out, seriously threatened their
lead. By that time it was too late,
however, and the Maroons suffered
their third conference defeat.
Hutchinson led Mount Vernon's
scorers with sixteen points, all but
two of which came in the second
half. Current and Barnett were
next with nine and eight points, re-
spectively. For Veest Branch, the
scoring was pretty much of a fam-
ily affair, the two Andersons gath-
ering thirty points between them.
The West Branch second string
also won the curtain raiser hy the
score of 42-10.
ABOUT OUR PLAY
The time of the year has rolled
around when you will find the
Velvet Curtain working on their
annual play. This year they have
selected . . ."June Mad."
The play concerns . . . a some-
what "Swacky" girl, Penny. She
is the only child. But to make
matters worse she has an uncle
only five years older than she,
When Penny falls "madly in love"
with a friend of her uncle's who is
a sophomore in college---well any-
thing can happen--and it does.
Penny is played by Martha Jane
Rogers; Chuck played by Don San-
derson and Mervyn by Don Current.
Roger Van Vlack is "Hutehie" and
Mrs. ~vlrook and Dr. Wood are play-
ed by Mary Mac and Douglas Hud-
elson, respectively.
Others in the .east are--Mildred
and NIarian Fisher, Lad Hedge,
Irene Sipple, Claude Klimo, Lud
Don Ferguson. Betty June is
promptress.

NEW STAF~
The second semester Chalk Mark
staff was organized Wednesday
MOUNT VEI~NON, IOWA, HA~VKEYE-I~ECORD AND TIrE LISBON R~ERALD
reading our paper just as much
as you have the first half of the
year.
LENGTHENED LUNCH HOUR
A new plan is to be introduced in
our school for the second semester.
Morning classes will be dismissed
at 11:55 and afternoon classes will
resume at 1:10; adding fifteen min-
utes to our regular lunch hour. This
)lan is to be on trial for the first
six weeks and if it proves success-
ful, it will be continued for the rest
of the year. It will be for the bene-
fit of those who have a long dis-
tance to come; cut down the num-
ber of tardies; and make it pos-
stable for the people to be home at
12:00, noon.
REPORT CARDS
Oh, what is so rare as a good
grade on a report card? Of course
if you're just naturally smart like
some people, it doesn't need to be
considered. But if you're not,
there are always ways of conceal-
ing the fact froth your ,parents.
For instance, you can do as a cer-
tain boy around the school did last
year: He lost his report card and
thc girl who went out of the school
'behind him found it. She asked
him if he wanted it, and when he
said no, jokingly of course, she
calmly tore it up and his parents
didn't see the grades. Or then you
can just lose it--but be sure to for-
get to look at it first.
There are ways of getting grades
on your report card. If you don't
like to study, you can take the
really easy subjects (if there are
any), or you can copy, but this
does neither you nor the other per-
son any good when you're caught.
Of course, if you like to study, why
go right ahead. Some people cram
before a test to get a grade, but
why not pick up the material as
you go along and then just review?
Well, semester tests are here--time
to start studying hard (practice
what you preach)--but then, after
all, what's in a grade?(Plenty!)
BAND I~ORaMATIONS
The spectators at the Anamosa
game showed surprise and excla-
mation at the demonstration of the
band. The formations were very
unique and quite clever. The most
impressive formation was the "M"
with white flashlights and the "V"
with red flashlights. The flash-
lights were turned on and off dur-
ing the "Maroon and White" yell.
The school should be very proud of
the band.

The girls also have been playing

basketball play ping pong, shuffle~

DAYS OF THE WEEK, ETC.
As far as we've been ~ble to
count, every week is divided into
seven days of twenty-four hours
each. So far, that's fairly simple,
but when we get around to look-
ing up the names of these days and
how they got there, the confusion
begins to commence. Take Mon-
day, for example. Monday is sup-
make the moonshine all the time,
but that's beside the point. Then
again there's Thursday supposed
to be named after Thor, the old
Norse god of thunder. Now Thor
was a real tough guy. Whenever
he didn't like somebody, he'd just
slip them a tap or two of his mighty
hammer, which did about as Thor-
ough a Job as you ever saw. But
what did he get for his troubles7
Wlhen people came around to nam*
ing a day after him, they actually
had the nerve to spell his name
wrong. Now the poor fellow has
to be known to posterity hy an er*
roneous nomenclature. Oh, well I
guess that no matter how hard you
try, somebody has to come along
and mess things up.
