SHALL WE GO FORWARD OR BACK IN THE WOODS.
When the French troops, at the battle of Chateau Thierry, passed to
the rear of the American troops that were supporting them, the Ameri
cans were asked, "How much longer do you think you are going to stay
there?" They answered, "We'll stay here till we get orders to go for
ward." And they got that order and they went forward and they never
stopped till the war ended.
Now its up to St. Tammany parish to ask the same question about our
roads. Are the people going to give the order to go forward? There's
on doubt about stopping here till the order is given to go forward with the
roads. We can't get away and nobody can get to us. The question is,
are we going to have the same kind of pluck that our boys at the front
had and that won the admiration of the world It takes money and it
may seem a big undertaking to those who feel that they have spent as
much money as they can afford to spend. But in fact this is a narrow
view of it and due to a superficial knowledge of the value of good roads
as an investment.
Those who travel the roads to any extent will be glad to do anything
or to make almost any sacrifice to have hard-surfaced roads throughout
the parish. Those who feel that they are not interested in good roads
to the extent of going down into their pockets and paying for them will
have a change of heart if they will go thoroughly into the subject and learn
just what relation good roads have to prosperity. In any case in which
good roads will not be a paying investment at any price or sacrifice with
in reason, the situation will 'warrant pulling up stakes and hiking it to
some other place less dreary of opportunities. In fact, it would be foolish
to stay in such a country.
Prospects never looked so 'bright for St. Tammany parish as to-day.
The banks have more money than they have ever had. The people are
earning more than they ever earned. The farmer has a better oppor
tunity than he ever had. Restrictions against building and improve
ments generally have been removed and in a short time things will be in
full swing and labor that has 'been employed in carrying on war will be
employed in commercial activities. All the big men of finance and busi
ness have expressed the opinion that prosperity will be with us for some
years to come. There is more work to be done, here and abroad, than
there are men to do it. The boys who are coming back from the army
are full of new life, new health and broad and liberal views. Their ex
perience has prepared them for better citizenship and larger accomplish
ment. They have seen things and they know.
THE TIME HAS COME FOR US TO GET THE ORDER TO GO FOR
WARD. WILL THE PEOPLE GIVE IT? JUST AS THE BOYS AT
CHATEAU THIERY DID, SO CAN WE DO THE WORK HERE AT HOME.
WE CAN GO FORWARD--OR WE CAN FALL BACK INTO THE WOODS.
WHICH SHALL IT BE?
a O
OUR SHIPBUILDING INTERlESTS.
St. Tammany parish has been very loyal in its war activities. It has
taken pride in showing that its patriotism is not skin deep and that its
heart has been in its work. But of all the war work the shipbuilding in
dustries have been the greatest, and it should be a matter of congratula
tion that the ships turned out at the .Iahncke shipyards have been classed
as the very highest order of workmanship. This is due not only to the
fact that many first class ship carpenters were found in Madisonville. but
to the establishment by 'Mr. Jahncke of training schools in which the art
of shipbuilding was taught to workmen employed in the yards.
The shipbuilding industries of St. Tammany parish have placed a large
amount of money in circulation, and Covington has been specially bene
dtted by the employment of this labor in the Jahncke yards and the yards
of the Gulf Shipbuilding Company. Mandeville and Abita Springs also
have been benefitted. Therefore our people have an interest in these
yards almost the same as if we were sharers in the profits directly. Every.
step that Increases the facilities or helps the morale of the workmen puts
money into our pockets. Every movement for the comfort of the work
men and every act that adds to their pleasure strengthens the develop
ment of an industry that is our own.
The St. Tammany Farmer has added a corner for shipyard news that
will be edited by men from the Jahncke shipyards. It will contain news
interesting to the workmen, personal and otherwise, and we expect it to
become enlarged and more interesting and serviceable to the men. The
editorial staff will be representative and capable writers and we antici
pate that The Farmer will become a welcome guest among the men of the
yards.
