Rowe At various times the writer of this column has called attention to the excellent work being done by the American Legion, that great patriotic organization of men who have faced the enemy in the stress of battle and fought to preserve our liberties. Constantly since its organization following World War I it has con tinued to fight for the safety of the nation. And today it is no less active than in former years. One of its most important activities dur ing the years has been a program of Americanization. The latest move in that direction is the preparation and broadcasting throughout the nation of thousands of booklets stresing the patriotic duties of all Americans and also emphasizing the wonderful privileges and freedom we have here in America. It is an educational treatise on Americani-1 zation. TJiis is a noble work and deserves the sincere commendation of every true citizen. We have grown so accustomed to our Ameri freedoms that we too often take I was handed the July number j of the American Legion Magazine j by a Libby veteran who is still | trying to serve his country in peace as well as in war. An outstanding j article in the magazine—Can We Head Off War?—by James F. O' Neil, national commander of the ; American Legion, frightens one, with the information it discloses of how dreadfully close to war we may be. But is also encourages one with the argument advanced by Commander O'Neil to the effect that we can insure our safety and pro bably prevent war by immediately, strengthening the national defense : by means of a stronger army, navy, I air force, and industrial mobiliza tion. O'Neil says it is the duty of | every American in this election year to study the record of all can didates for high office and vote only for those who sincerely advocate an adequate national defense. And he is wise in that contention. | : can them as a matter of course. Now and then it is well to have some thoughtful organization call them to our attention as the Legion is now doing. In this time of a national election, how many of us appreciate the great privilege we Americans have of j electing our officials by a secret,have ballot. Today large parts of the ' world do not have it. We have not 1 always had that privilege ourselves, V V Mf É ft V V ; irflBr HOLLOW COMFORT The noted infidel, Robert Inger soll, was once asked to deliver the funeral address at the grave of the child of an intimate friend. The best comfort he could offer to soothe the tears of the grief-stricken moth er was the line, so often quoted since then: "It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." How different this hollow com fort is from the assurance of the man who has come to God through faith in Jesus Crist! Jesus said: "My sheep hear My voice . . and I give unto them eternal life; and thev shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand." He who has learned to know Christ as his Savious from sin need not pin his hopes for the future on the shallow comfort of greeting card philosophy. Having placed his hand into the hand of the eternal Shepherd, he can say; "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for Thou art with me." There is nothing uncertain about the Christian faith, not even when It comes to the end of time and the beginning of eternity, because the Christian faith is based on God's eternal promises. It is the aim of our church to help you get and re tain that faith. Our services are yours for the asking.—ST. JOHN LUTHERAN CHURCH In earlier years the American voter walked into the polling place and announced openly the candidates for whom he wished to vote. An election secretary marked doun h votes as he announced it A finer system for controlling an elect on by threats and .intimidation could harelly be imagined.

Lewistown, June 19. 1948—Chiro praetors gathered here for the an nual convention of the Montana I Chironractic Association were urged CHIROPRACTORS URGED TO FOSTER BETTER POSTURE | *odav by Dr. H. H. Anderson of j Libbv to foster better posture in a lone-term program, "No greater contribution can be made bv the chirooractors of Amer ica to the nation than by improving nosture and thus increasing effi menev of all our workers." Dr. An derson declared. "Poor posture is expensive." "The problem of poor posture and the low efficiency of workers which : t brings on can be approached in two ways." Dr. Anderson exnlained. "The first is a long, careful, and well planned program to teach Americans how to walk and stand and sit in wavs which will pro mote health and efficiency. We have such an educational program under wav. and it is having its effect, "However, tfcat takes time." Meanwhile, many postural faults can be helped bv direct treatment. or the bad effects can! be modified or eliminated. "In both programs individual chirooractors can play a decisive and important role, "They can continue to ^arry out the orogram of education. They can explain to their patients how to walk, stand, sit, and lie for the best effect on health, "Thev can also continue to re lieve the bad results of poor bos ture by correcting the misalign mgnts of the spine. Every chiro nractor knows that the most minor displacement ip the spinal column can bring on sharp pains, often far removed from the spine itself, which disappear under chiropractic treatment." "Studies conducted by the Chiro practic Research Foundation show that 35 out of every 100 children faulty posture, while 35% of men and women past 20 have spinal defects that all likely to lead to organic diseases unless corrected, "Faulty posture is due primarily to displacements in the spinal col- 1 umn.
