SUBSCRIPTION RATES ONE YEAR $1.50 SIX MONTHS 1.00 THREE MONTHS 75 Wednesday, October 25, 1944 Plenty Of Game The few hunters who have been able to get shells are reporting: an unprecedented amount of game in the woods and fields. Taking it for granted that ammunition will continue to be rather scarce and also considering that a vast number of hunters will not be able to go to the woods this season, the service men who will be returning before the beginning of another hunting season , rf may rely on their being plenty of game for them, if they like to hunt. With the season not yet having open ed, wild ducks of all sorts are already on the rivers and ponds in fairly large . .. numbers. Quail, squirrels, o'possums, $ coons, etc., are all numerous. S,' Hunters say that there is a big jp* crease in the wild turkey, deer and bear crops. It is pretty sure that neither large or small game wjl get thinned oat much this season and that another year will find all kinds of game oven more numerous than npw. ' I I With the absence pf hunters dur|pg g the past two seasons partially acco'ppting for the increase, there is still gn. other reason,"' Protection of the woods and fields from forest fires has been brought up to neat perfection. In protecting our woods we have protected our game. Strength In The Pacific Most of the Attention of the two wars we are fighting has centered around the Allied efforts to crush Germany. This condition is probably due to the fact that our two great allies, England and Russia, were in a life and death grapple with Germany long before the Japanese attacked us at Pearl Harbor. *? From the first, the war. planning agencies saw the need of beating Germany first. In accordance with these plans much of the public interest" has centered around operations in thfe Atlantic. Although Japan has been held to her gains of the first few montns it seems that very few people here in * America had any real idea of .the strength we were massing in the Pacif: ic, holding Japan down and getting ready for that day which now seems to have arrived. The war with Germany is undoubted: ly being won and since our attention has been focused on operations in Europe it was a real surprise, last week, & when General Douglas MacArthur & made good his two-year old promise , ' and returned to the Philippines. He not only returned as he had promised, he returned with a striking force of men, f ships and equipment that was greater ?i than that used by both England and s the U. S. in the invasion of France. The r supply lines to MacArthur are much | longer than to the forces in France. & The American home front has proi duced well, better than has been under|1 stood. With a full recognition of the l strength on the European front we ' must also now realize that we have overwselming strength in the Pacific. The war has been and is being fought I wisely and well. The List Grows ' Those who read the daily papers cannot fail to be impressed by the steadily mounting list of names of men missing or killed in action. The list grows. It is doubtful if there is a man or woman anywhere in the United States who has not lost some relative, friend or at least some one he or she knew well in the days before the country went to war. With the list of killed and missing in action steadily mounting, and sure to rise much higher, itis a pity that we have nothing here on the home front to show the men who form the battle lines that they have something back home worth fighting for. The most we do is to carry on de- , fense work, for which we are well . I , v -v,^ _ i 1 paid. Next to that we buy a few war B bonds, which is simply making the best 0 possible investment of the extra money ^ we acquire as a result of war times. aj Many buy bonds as a gesture to their 1( neighbors, to show them they are doing their bit. Once they have shown the papers around they proceed right around to the banks and cash them, A just to have the money and spend it now. Don't buy bonds unless you mean to keep them until they mature, and don't B turn them in unless you are in dire le need of the money they will bring. " E Science Joins The Fight ?< ft Fire prevention week is past, but during those seven days of concentrat- ^ ed battle against fire the public learn- w ed of new weapons to combat uncon- a] trolled fire. Among those weapons are 'a such innocuous sounding devices as fog, foam and snow. r< One story told how a munitions ship Jj' collided with a tanker off the East di Coast a few months ago. The crash ex- g ploded and sank the munitions ship w and turned the tanker into a raging in- *! ferno. By all the rules, the tanker should have been a total loss. It wasn't. ,c 01 Twelve hours after the accident, a Navy fire fighters arrived with some ? lotoct firo fiorVifintr tools. Bv then c v* 1,116 **? ?? O > the heat was unbelievable. Bronze fit- * tings melted like hot chocolate. Ahead oi pf the Navy men as they went aboard N the ship, traveled a ball of hissing fog. h Sheltered behind it, they advanced to- J ward the ship's stern. Arrived at the ni stern cargo tanks, they applied another ai modern fire fighting miracle: foam. ^ From special nozzles they shot a smother of snowy bubbles which stuck n OP everything. The bubbles piled up in the tanks, floating on the burning gaso- u line like super-yeasty dough, choking <* out the fire. A $8,500,000 ship and 70,- ^ 000 barrels of war fuel had been saved, ei The mysterious fog that saved that r ship was made by dozens of needlefipe streams of water rushing from a h( hose at 100 miles an hour. Backed by oi 150 pounds of pressure, 23,000,000,000 *( Jiarticles?literally a drenching, cool- a ng fog. J Snow, another fire-fighting miracle, u is liquid carbon dioxide sprayed under "Jj high pressure. It leaves the nozzle at tl 100 degrees below zero. No fire can ^ withstand it. B - In spite of everything that has been g done -to prevent and extinguish fire, sthe tragic fact remains that fire losses cl are still rising?because we as a nation pi are too lazy and indifferent to use what ? Science has given us! pi ai Mud-Slinging O! The term, "mud-slinging" is with us p: again and is being mouthed daily in criticism of candidates for office. Too often if a speech doesn't please?or maybe strikes home?it is classed as I 1 " ? J "jusi mua-snnging. What is "mud-slinging?" Webster fails *to define it. Literally, it is the hurling of mud, dirt, and filth that bespatters the recipient. Politically, it is the hurling of charges that are untrue, misleading, or unfair, and which besmirch an opposing candidate. Before crying "mud-slinging," one should weigh what has been said. Is it true? Is it taking unfair advantage? If ' the answers are "yes" and "no", then it can hardly be called "mud-slinging." Think before using this overworked term. Try to distinguish it from honest and needed statements of fact. The word is too often used as is much profanity?either thoughtlessly or for lack of an adequate vocabulary. Behind The Speeches After listening to a few of the "debates' 'between major party leaders in the pre-election campaign, the natural reaction is awe. How does it happen that we are winning the war if the charges of political incompetence on both sides are anywhere near true ? As a matter of fact, we would not be winning the war if our fate had been left to the foresight and intiative of any political party. We were preparing for the war in ways the politicians never dreamed of, long before Pearl Harbor. The array of armament and supplies that American factories were able to turn out after our peril was generally recognized, was not1 due to any previous political planning by either party. Here is the real reason why this country is winning the war?behind the speeches, the cold fact is the people were ready for war because of the alertness of their industries. : i-i. - ' . ,' .
