The nation must redouble its efforts in the Red Cross, in selling and buying bonds, in building offense and de fense, in making willingly every sacrifice. Men and wo men of every party and of every creed, and of every class and of every blood mix ture fused within this great republic, have a common cause that of saving the standards, the rights and the principles upon which are builded our homes and oui ways of life. -Sotih Carolina v ES5 ASSOCIATION Thursday, April 9, 1942. LABOR ON THE FARM The farm labor problem prows steadily more severe. High industrial wages have attracted a great proportion of the men who used to do farm work. And the farmer must pay big money even to incompetents. As a result, the increase that has taken place in farm prices has been largely off set by the higher cost of la bor plus the higher cost of taxation, supplies, and ev erything else. The cooperative market ing organizations are doing a good job in presenting these facts to the public. They are facts that must be taken into consideration when farm price ceilings are applied. The public must realize that a higher price for farm - produced goods does not necessarily mean a larger or as large a re turn to the farmer. CHINS UP AMERICA The war has not been go ing so well. Depressing news comes to us from far reaches of the Pacific. Ships sunk, lives lost. These test our pa tience .and our courage. Ad verse reports make it more necessary to keep our chins up; to set ourselves resolute ly to the task of aiding every WINNING THE BATTLE OF PRODUCTION This country is at last win ning "the battle of produc tion." We havent' lived up to all our hopes and fore casts. But the instruments of war are rolling out of the plants in a steadily gaining stream. That stream will soon reach flood propor tions. The next job is to win "the battle of ocean transporta tion." We're trying to keep the actual combat fronts away from this continent, but we can't do that unless we can produce the vast a- mount of shipping that is needed to transport and serve and supply United Na tions' troops on ail the far- flung warfronts of the world. This isn't simply a matter of producing enough ships to offset losses. Our rate of production must be far greater than our loss rate, especially in the matter of tankers. So far, ship produc tion has been under the schedules previously laid down. Strenuous efforts are being made to bring it up to the necessary level. The work done in our shipyards will have a tremendous'bear ing on the length of time it will take to win tin's war. All patriotic farm families are being urged to pro duce their food at home so that tons and tons of food will be released for the army and navy, for defense work ers and to help our allies. This program will not only help the country but will help each family that co-operates by giving them better health and by saving them money. Obituaries -m--x-:-k-:-:-x-:-:-:":-h-i-:-x-! ROBERT L. WILLIS ..iiiMiMi.iS'SrAi'r-i ' I Pint Quart I 95c 1M I mmammmmmmtmmmmmmmmmmtiiiiinm mt CAN MORE FOOD THIS YEAR Goals for home product ion of food have been raised to meet the war production levels asked by the United States Department of Agri culture and in cooperation with the USDA War Boards. The established minimum goal of 80 quarts of fruits and vegetables per person has been raised to increase the canning to the extent of an extra half years supply, on the basis of 80 quarts for one year. The extra cans of food will constitute a re serve to take care of flood, drought, or other crop dis asters. Families also will find it advisable to store 10 bushels of fruits and vegetables per person, to use 90 gallons of milk per person, produce sufficient eggs and poultry, and provide some syrup, sor ghum or honey from the farm. To meet these goals it will be necessary to begin at once. The homemaker who has an adequate supply of jars ready for use will can much more than the one who puts off getting neded sup plies until the last minute. Women have done their part in every great period of Am erican history, and do not ex pect to fail on these Food for Freedom goals. START FIGHTING FIRE NOW There are many big civil ian defense jobs to be done. And one of the biggest is the creation of an adequate fire delense in this country. I hat is a job which must be done by all the peopple. The two coasts of Amer ica are definitely combat areas. Both are susceptible to air and naval attack. In addition, many important in land points could be reached by a determined enemy. These are facts, unpleasant as tney may seem. And it attack comes, the thermit magnesium incendiary bomb is almost certain to be the principal weapon used. Mild in appearance, weighing but slightly more than t v o pounds, it is one of the most terrible agents of destruction ever invented by man. Luckily, these and other incendiaries can be controll ed. Their danger can be tre mendously minim i z e d it trained men and women are available to fight them. England was saved by its fire-fighting forces. Per haps, some day, that will be said of American cities and towns. And these forces will consist very largely of volun teers people who give their time and 1'services to civil defense after working hours. Even if we are not attack ed from without, this work will produce fine fruit. As C. Lester Walker writes in Har per's, "We are a profligate race where tire is concerned. 1 . . . The flames have taken i i?:3. 000,000.000 of our prop erty since 1029 and each year 10.000 lives. So if the war-born alarms and pre cautions cut our normal tire losses even ten per cent, all the effort, time, and money and even the hysteria will have been worth it.' Every civilian can help in this war against fire. Do your share and start doing it right now. DAVIS. X. C Robert L. Willi? 72, respected citizen of Davis, died at his home here last Satur day. He had been in tailing health for the past two years but his death was unexpected and came as a shock to his friends and neigh bors.
