The letter I)y P. Roger Gillette.
son ofMr. and Mrs. C. E. Gillette,
in another column on thin page
contains a numi)e,' of good sug-
gestions from whicb Mount Vernon
could benefit.
As one who has driven many
uliles in other states, the writer
has long thought that Mount Ver-
non, Cornell college and local lulsi-
nesses catering lo the tourist trade
do not take full advantage of the
advertising possibilities offered.
Strangers on sight seeing tours
like to know what they are seeing.
Attractive signs at the city linlits
could announce that Mount Ver-
non was a fine residential town and
that the ulotorist will pass the Col
nell campus.
In line with Mr. Gillette's sug-
gestion of taking the slow moving
traffic fronl the main highways we
have long thought that tile should-
ors on Iowa primary roads should
lie wider. They should lie wide
enough for horse drawn vehicles
and wide enough for a motorist to
safely change a tire. Rather than
raid primary road funds we tllink
primary road nloney could be well
spent in ulaking the heaviest tra-
veled primary roads safer.
Hitler's last act in carving up
(Tzeeho-Slovakia has ended the
appeasement policies and has con-
vinced the democracies, that they
must decide where they will nlake
their stand against the nlonster

EDIIORIAL
Rationalization is defined in psy-
chology as the process of making
actions or opinions appear reason-
able which are not reasonable but
dictated by emotion. By this means
we invent reasons for doing what
we want to do and for believing
what we want to believe.
This perhaps is one of the most
common and universal bad habits
of everyone. So much hinges on
rationalization that everyone does,
it and knows at the time he is do-
ing it, but it is still difficult to
curb such a habit it is so conven-
ient.
If we think back perhaps we can
recall such a short time ago as
yesterday or today that we ration-
alized. Last night for instance there
was studying to be done, but we
brought the wrong book home or
we forgot our pen; besides there
was a good movie that really was
very educational so we thought we
might just as well attend that. We
know in our mind that this was
the wrong thing to do so we grope
wildly around in our store of men-
tal excuses for something to make
our actions reasonable. Suddenly
we think of the fact that we have
a study hall tomorrow and that
makes it all legitimate and off we
go to the movies conscience dear
for the moment.
In the light of the new day, we
realize that this was definitely time
wasted to go to the movie or what-
ever took up our time and we
really should have studied in spite
of our groundless excuses. We'll
repeat this error again and again
but the next time, why not curb
that impulse?

Howard Orms
"Moosie" came to Mount Vernon
in the fifth grade and has been an
outstanding student since then.
In athletics, "Moosie" has been
outstanding in football, basketball,
and track. Last year in track he
took second place in the conference
meet. second in the district, and
sixth in the state mile run. His
best time was 4:35:5 which is ex-
ceptional.
He has been a member of chorus
for four years and has been in sev-
eral operettas, having leading parts
in two of them. He has also been
a member of the student patrol.
He is a member of the "M" Club
and dramatics club, and has been
in several plays, including the ju-
nior class play last year. He has
also been a stage hand and handy
man on most of the crews for re-
cent plays.
He is a member of the Chalk
Mark staff and vice president of
the senior class.
He coached the junior high foot-
ball and basketball teams this year
and hopes to become a coach some
really go for the Ted Shawn danc-
ers, especially the physiques.
Noticed how all the senior girls
anticipate Grex. Well Here's wish-
ing you luck.
Overheard a junior telling a sen-
ior about her new Easter outfit.
"Well dear. Mine's all complete
except for a new suit, shoes, hat
gloves, purse, and hose. But
have the dearest new lace hank
that I am building my outfit
around."
According to figures the faculty
ought to play basketball more often.
Incidentally, why aren't they play-
ing the seniors?

SOLVING THE ITNLICENSFI)
DOG PROBLEM
We read with hearty approval
the action of our Madison county
supervisors to wage a war of ex-
tinction on unlicensed dogs and to
deny the benefits of the dmnestic
animal fund to th})se who then]-
selves harbor an unlicensed dog.
We strongly suspect that the Madi-
son county supervisors have set an
example that will be widely follow-
ed in Iowa. We have always been
a dog lover. As a small boy we had
something of a reputation as a dog
trainer. But we have no use for
the unlicensed dog. Also we have
repeatedly seen sheep slain, man-
gled and terrified by outlaw dogs,
not one of which bore a collar an(
license number. I~t's support the
supervisors. Let's also support the
dog tax col!ectO.r if one is appoint-
ed.--Nd Smith' in Winterset Madi-
son(an.
LET'S SELL FRANCE
THE AIRPLANES
Well, we sell scrap iron to Japan
to kill the Chinese; we sold Italy
the oil with which she won the
war with Ethiopia• So why not
sell France all the airplanes she
can pay for? Regardless of wheth-
er the president said it or not, our
frontier is the Rhine river, and all
the obstacles we can pile up be-
tween the Atlantic sea board and
the Rhine is all the better for us.
The stronger we make France and
England, the less we have to fear
from Germany and Italy.--Eagle

Door Editor:-
I have been reading the "'Hawk-
cye" ever since I first learned to
i'ea(l; and altliough iny chief con-
tact with the town has boen
through the paper, I have liccoine
une of the nlany lioosters of Mount
Vtq'nou. [ have followed closely
the r0eord of th0 nlany inlprove-
ulents that have becu nladc in the
last few years.
l/uriug this tinle I have been in
(,onil)lete accord with the policies
of the newspaper, in gcncral. How-
"ver, the last isstie ('March 9) in-
dicates a viewpoint, ill connection
iwilh two events, with which I dis-
:agree. I wouhl like to bring to
your attention a slightly different
l)olicy which I I)elicve would, if
curried Oil|, hnprove the reputation
uf both the newspaper aud the
lown as a whole.
]Cirst, nlay [ quote froul the ar-
ticle beaded "Popuhtr Student Is
Auto ('rash Victinl." "Mr. ()'(~on-
nell is reported to have I)cen the
owner of the n]anure spreader
which ulight be said to have heen
an indirect cause of thc accident."
This seeuis to uie io I)e "tvoiding a
very vital issue. "l'he causes of that
"lecident were two in nutni)er: the
slush on the paven/cnt, whic}l
('ouldn't tlave t)een avoided, and the
I)resencc of tile nlanure spreader,
whicli (~nihl have t)cen avoided.
"Phe presence of sucil s]o*,v-l]loving
vehicles is a growing menace to
life, a ulenaco which "locording to
u/any authorities is ahnost as great
as tile excessive speeding which we
llear SO Inueh about.
These slow-moving wagons, trac-
lors, and so forttl do have the right
of access to the puh]ic highways,
which nlakes the pl'ol)lel// compli-
:'ated. I au/ not U. highway engin-
eer, and so I anl not aide to say
what shouhl be don(,. Howcver, onc
possibility wouhl t)¢, the provision
of wide, hard-su i'fa('ed shoulders
on which these vehicles would tie
required to travel. An active, vig-
orous caulpaign for ttlc renloval of
this hazard would be a fitting tri-
!lute to the student who was taken
t'ronl us, and the successful con-
clusion of such a campaign would
furnish a fitting nlemorialto a
man wc all knew and loved.
l would also like to raise objec-
t(pus to statements nlade in the
article about the new water tank
in the same issue of the "Hawk-
eye". As I remember it, every
"hick" town between Mount Ver-
non and ('linton has a water tank,
and on each water tank is painted
the nanle of the town in large let-
ters. Mount Vernon on the other
hand. is not "just another 'hick
town." :Prom its hilltop rises a
tall steeple, a symbol of the edu-
cational and religious influence of
an institution that has made Mount
Vernon known around the world.
Therefore we don't want to adver-
tise it as "just another hick town,"
which would certainly lie the effect
of painting the nanle on the water
tank. Mount Vernon has gotten
along better without StlCh adver-
tising than the other towns have
with it. l,et us advertiseMount
Vernon rather as a town which
)ossesses one of the best water
tanks in the state, and also pos-
sesses tile good taste not to plaster
a sign :ill over it.
There are several other ways in
which Mount Vernon can also be
made to stand out from the other
towns along the IAncoln Highway.
One of these ways is the improve-
nlent of the Mount Vernon business
district. The best looking and
highest class shops in the larger
cities are often small. There is no
reason why the shops in Mount
Vernon shouldn't be just as good
all it requires is the nlodernizing
of the facades, UlOSt of which were
built sonic tinle in the '90's, and
the installation of modern display
nletliods. Increased patronage by
students and townspeople as well
as travellers on Lhe highway would
more than pay for the expense of
such improvements, in my opinion.
Another way of advertising the
town would be to remove or rood.
ernize the eyesores in the residen-
tial district along the highway. Im-
provement of side streets would
nlake the town a better place in
which to live, and thus attract peo-
ple who work in Cedar Rapids but
prefer to live in smaller towns.
Another thing which should be
done is to persuade the highway de-
partnlent to install more signs
along the Lincoln hig'hway giving
the distance to Mount Vernon;
many people of my acquaintance
have conlmented on the absence of

l)car Editor:-
The time of band concert season
is allout bere and with it the usual
problenls as to director, expenses
of l.:eeping up II }ctnd, etl'.
Thore is a snbstantial suln of
muney availablc each year from the
])tlll(] tax, totaliug about $6i)(i.00
of which, in the past, a considerable
portion was expended for outside
talent. A strong sentinlent is felt
by most Mount Vernon citizens and
tax-payers, to eliniinate outside
tulent and use holne nlusicians.
Tlle trend of thought is to con-
sol(date UlUsical talent fron/ the
High Scllool with the veteran tal-
ent of Mount Yernon and engage
a director who can not only direct
a i)and, but also "Jan develop young
Ill us(clans.
As it is quite a burden for the
schools to finance such a director,
the eonsolidution wouhl not only
keep our tax nlnney at home but
would enablc onr school nnlsicians
to develop and give competition to
other schools in all school music
activities.
All of this can be done without'
lowering thc standard of the Muni-
cipal Hand, because to engage very
g'ood nulsieians would cost nluch !
nlore than the band treasury can i
offer "lnd to stay within the budget
lneaus lliring nlusieians wtlo are not
above par with the home nnlsicians.
This matter was brought to nly
• lttcntion with a request that I ex-
press lny opinion and I reco,n]mend
tbc above plan because it will not
ohly keep our tax money in Mount
Vernon, and develop our school
ulusi.~'ians, but it also will greatly
aid our schools to obtain and hold
the services of a good instructor
and director.
The above opinion is based on
nly .wide experience ill band work
and organizing.
A petition is being circulated for
signatures of all Mount Vernon
people, to tie presented to tbe City
Council at their meeting Friday [
night of this week and I earnestly
appeal to everyone to sign same to
nlake it a presentable document.
