BUY MAYNARD! As most of the Screech Owls go into the students’ homes and are read and enjoyed by the parents, we would like to call special attention to the adver- tisements put in this magazine by local merchants. Since our publication was started, these merchants have helped us out by generously putting in ads three times a year. It costs considerable money to put out such a magazine and without the local aid it would be finan- cially impossible for us to publish the Screech Owl. The Screech Owl is written just as much for you parents as for the stu- dents. It keeps you informed of school activities, and all articles are written by the students, many of whom you know. We urge you to patronize stores ad- vertising in this magazine. This is no boycott against the merchants who have not patronized this particular is- sue, for nearly all have at some time or other inserted advertisements ; but we mean by this that you should trade in Maynard. There is a saying “Buy goods made and sold in Ameri- ca”, and we would like you to “Buy goods sold in Maynard.” The next time you have a little shopping to do, don’t pick up the city newspapers to see what bargains you can find. Just remember the Screech Owl and trade in Maynard. We are sure you’ll be just as well satisfied, and your trade will be appreciated. — W. Palmer, Editor. AMERICA FACES DISASTER What is it that has through the years enabled the American people to survive their hardships and to turn a new and undeveloped country into one of the most powerful nations in the world? Has it been a streak of luck, along with a few men who had great ability in leadership, or has it been our great country itself, with its seeming- ly inexhaustible natural resources? We have something — what is it? I say it is our amazing ability to meet apparent disaster and to go on seeking greater success. Within the last hundred years we have passed through several major catastrophes and innumerable lesser ones which would have wiped out a less hardy race. Wars, floods, fires, economic depressions — we have had them all, yet somehow we conquered them and emerged a stronger and bet- ter people. How we have done this is rather difficult to explain. No one person or organization is responsible. None could be found to carry on such a great work. It is just our universal desire to help a fellow being in distress. In the terrible floods which so lately devasted our Mississippi Valley, im-
