Writers’ Thoughts
(Continued from Page 1)
by the federal government. “We
have not yet in America,” Thomas
said, “proved that we can provide
a high level of prosperity without
a large expenditure of federal
funds on arms.” And he wondered,
and made us wonder, about the out
come of this arms race. And in
view of problems like those now
confronting us in the Middle and
the Far East, “Can it go on and
not be used?” he asked. “Will a
balance of terror keep peace in the
world ? ”
And what would be the outcome,
he asked, if we had real peace in
the world, and the funds now spent
on arms could be turned to further
ing education and health?
A lot of questions he asked us.
And a lot of unanswered hopes and
misgivings in us he brought to the
surface. A lot of problems that
will, if they ever are, be resolved
only by possessing such a faith as
this great man spoke of.
And for the present generation,
to whom the problem is being left,
what did Thomas offer? The best

J. Paul Sheedy* Had A Hangdog Look Till
Wildrool Cream-Oil Gave Him Confidence
Poor old mangy Sheedy was hounded by a lack of confidence ! Every girl
he talked to-told him he was barking up the wrong tree. “Fido’nt get a
date pretty soon,” he howled, "I’m gonna flea the campus and go home
to mutter.” Then he got wise to 'Wildroot Cream-Oil.
Now he has confidence in any situation because
he nose his hair looks healthy and handsome, the way
Nature intended . . . neat but not greasy. Contains the
heart of Lanolin, the very best part of Nature’s finest hair
and scalp conditioner. Get yourself a bottle or tube of
Wildroot Cream-Oil, America’s biggest selling hair tonic.
It gives you the confidence you need to be a gay dog.

belief and faith such
the following state-
thing was a
as his—and
ment:
“Rich as you (our generation)
are and great as you may be in
many respects, I think that prob
ably your generation is the poorer
because you have less hope than we
had.”
Thomas was talking about a for
merly believed faith in man’s prog
ress, a faith that mankind was on
a ramp that pointed upward and
onward and that the “heavenly city
of peace and good will among men”
was not so far off.
We have not taken the interest
that we should. We are, as the
speaker asked if we were, “with
all of our education and all of our
skill content to admit that we rush
to our own destruction.” We admit
it, not as a “fact,” but in our
actions.
As I left the ballroom with the
others, I was turning over in my
mind the faith that we need—“a
faith in the possibility of man
kind’s progress without a belief in
its inevitability,” for such leads
only to an indifference that is only
too apparent. And I wondered also
how I was going to write about this
talk, and about this man. Finally,
I decided to present the speech as
it entered my mind, not as it left
Norman Thomas’ lips. It’s not
exactly typical, or even good, jour
nalism; but objective facts cannot
always accomplish journalism’s
purpose of communicating to read
ers. And faith is a hard thing to
write objectively about.
It was a great evening with a
great man.
