W H V •ervtee The Farmer And His Car A passenger car is not a necessity fur a family living within a few blocks of a bus line or the shopping district, says the Dairymen’s League -News of New York, “but it is vital to the farmer living many miles from a community. ' These facts should be considered by the government and special con sideration should be given to farm ers' need for gasoline." In many small farming operations, a pas-enger car provides the entire transportation, and is the only means the producer has of reaching his mar ket liven in larger operations, use of trucks is often wasteful and un economical and absorbs unnecessary quantities of gasoline and rubber. 'The passenger car, in short, provides a farm service that nothing else can sufficiently replace. Gas priorities for trucks alone will not solve the farmer's transportation problem. His passenger car is often essential to bis operation—-and es sential to the delivery of food the nation must have. -» Bonds Fight The Axis The American people will decide whether or not the nation will be forced to adopt and accept compul sory purchasing of War Bonds. Ac cording to Secretary Morgenthau, it will be necessary for us to buy SI. 000.000,000 worth of these bonds each month. If we do that voluntar ily there will be no need for compul sion. If we don't, compulsion will be inevitable. Some may wonder why the govern ment can't pay tor the war simply by selling more bonds to banks. Secretary Morgenthau recently point ed out that excessively heavy bank purchases are inflationary, "because when commercial banks buy Govern ment Bonds they do not pay for them with actual cash taken from their vaults, but by placing on their books newly created deposits to the credit of the government. When the government draws upon these depos its to pay for the goods and services it buys, the purchasing power of those to whom these payments are made is increased without any decrease in the purchasing power of those from whom the money is borrowed.” Increased purchasing power com( bined with a decreased supply of goods is the certain road to disas trous intlation. The government wants you to buy bonds with every nickel you can spare—and it wants you to deny yourselves luxuries so you can buy more. No man can make a better purchase than the securities which buy weapons to fight the Axis. -1 ROPER Mr. and Mrs. Mahlon Hassell and children, of Norfolk, spent Sunday with J. J. Hassell.

Whitley got hisself brand new straw hat one day this week, and the other members of the local bar thereby got themselves a new method of designating time, a - cording to Carl L. Bailey, fellow mem ber of the profession. According to Carl's allegations—and, to date. Mr. Whitley has filed no disclaimer—this was the first straw lid Mr. Whitley had "broken out in" since he began the practice of law here in 1918. some 24 years ago by dead reckoning, which is quite a considerable spell of time, as the crow flies. Mr. Bailey said, as a result, that all contempor ary events in Plymouth could be dat ed from this week, either BWSH or AWSH—Before Whitley's Straw Hat and After Whitley's Straw Hat. re spectively. In other words, this col umn is being prepared for publica tion on June 11, in the year 1 AWSH. Sprin° Is Here— Well, at long last, it can be offic ially entered upon the records that spring has arrived in Plymouth. Of course, by the calendar, summer will be here in a week or so. which would indicate that spring was somewhat delayed in reaching here this year, but, as a matter of fact, spring can never be said to have been officially recorded until after "Silas Green From New Orleans ana nis iraveunu exponents of colored minstrelsy have come and gone. And they were here yesterday, in all their splendor and gaudy uniforms. Such struttin and paradin' among the colored brethren you have seldom seen. But. lest you get the idea that this entertainment is exclusively for the colored folks, let it now be said that there are about as many dyed-in-the-wool Silas Green fans among the white folks as there are among those of his own race. Any number of prominent lo cal folks cancel all other engagements and let nothing, not even a war and gas rationing, prevent them from be ing in their accustomed places when the curtain rises on Silas and his gang of blues-chasers when they play their one-night stand here. Modern progress has left its mark on the big tented organization. Flu orescent lighting has taken the place of the smoky gasoline torches used in yesteryear.

And there were not as many young men in the parade this year, per haps most of them are parading else where in Uncle Sam's more sedate khaki. One of the trumpet players in particular commanded sympathy. Fat and about fifty, he manfully quick-stepped with the rest of the band for the block and a half from the center of town to where the pa rade broke up: then gave a. great sigh of relief and started hobbling the remainder of the way back to the railroad car in a manner remi nescent of the "Duke of Paducah s tag line: “I’m goin’ back to the wagon, boys; my feet are killin’ me."
