MATIO MAI rrniTORIA SSOC1ATION SHont Carolina v4v PRESS ASSOCIATION ;)) THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1942 Much Is Expected We have been overcome at times when confronted from week to week with the stack of material sent out by the govern ment and various war effort organizations and groups. It would be impossible to print one percent of it and have space left for anything else, yet there is no denying the fact that it is all good and worthy of space. It is a problem each week to sort the ma terial and give only the most pertinent of it in the space available. Every newspaper has to work the problem out according to their own situation. The following on the subject in "The Reidsville Review" of July 1, gave a pretty fair picture of the part the newspapers are playing in supporting Uncle Sam. "The newspapers of the country do more free work for the government than any other branch of industry. Advertising is the stock in trade of the newspapers, but they are donating millions upon millions of dollars worth of service. xiiM "When a grocer, clothier, a foundry, a machine shop- a boot and shoe manufacturer and other industries furnish supplies they are paid for them. But the newspapers are expected to furnish advertising free, and they do so. They also keep the people in formed and 99.9 per cent of them are loyal to Uncle Sam." The development on the home fronts is becoming a vital issue with the American civilian. The old American way of life in its fundamentals we trust will not have to change, but on the surface there will be vast differences even between 1941 and 1942. Archibald Maclish gives an interesting answer in this week's copy of "Look" to the question: "What do you foresee as the most important developments on the home front in the next six months, and how can the citizens help most on this front?" In part his answer: "What has already happened gives the key to the immediate luture. Ihe most important developments in the coming months will be developments of the effort to which we are committed. What can the average citizen contribute? lo supply the guns, tanks, ships and planes our soldiers need- all of us must limit our consumption of goods drastically and imme diately. Government orders will indicate precise limitations upon our consumption, our day-to-day activities. At present we think most about saving materials rubber, sugar, paper.metals, etc. Soon, however, as more millions of men are drawn into the armed forces and as our war factories begin to operate at peak, we shall face a period of manpower short age. We will then have to curtail many civilian industries to free manpower for use where it is needed most." Mr. Maclish is undoubtedly correct, we are going to have to have a new yardstick to measure our plans for reorganizing our lives. Luxuries that have long since become necessities with us will gradually be eliminat ed. Alll of which has one spark of comfort, maybe we extravagant Americans will once again from dire necessity learn the meaning of "Thrift." not if, but When?

In Montana there is a similar need for help and business men in the area are trying to save the situation by trying in some way to obtain the necessary help. In the meantime it looks as if a golden opportunity was awaiting the workers who are being released from the WPA, CCC and IYA rolls who could find work at once. From Rev. J. T. Mangum We notice the following quoted from Dr. J. T. Mangum, of Selma, Ala., former pas tor of the Methodist church here, whkh appeared in the Sunday edition of The Char lotte Observer, and is cited as art appropriate message f or July 4, 1942: u "We tried pacifism and it failed. We tried isolationism and it failed. In the very midst of a peace conference between Japan and the United States, the sewer rats, of the cesspool, which men call Japan- struck at Pearl Harbor and, not half prepared, in the flash of a moment we found ourselves in volved in war 3,000 of our soldiers slain, our battleships sunk, our aircraft wrecked. "Now we are in war in total war which involves every man, woman and child in our country and calls for the utmost in sac rifice and endeavor upon the part of each of us, to keep this flag floating forever over our children and children's children. "We have just begun to fight. And we have got to fight. War means hell ; war means death. We have got to kill, kill, kill. And our fine sons, many of them, have to sail forth never to return again. This is the price we will have to pay for what we cher ish above life itself, for all those freedoms our flag represents." 1 There went June, the 30-day wonder, buxom, seductive queen of the calendar, The poets would not have recognized her as she minced her way down the gangplank of time. Upon feeling her kiss, thousands died. Upon glimpsing her smile nations came near the losing of a war. Through many a dragging hour her days seemed al together too rare. June was not a nice girl From afar, she was fresh and lovely. As she started her race a world was under control. She was a baby when the head lines said: "The Nazis were trapped in Egypt, a German general was captured: Cologne had been destroyed from the air; the Kussian front was under control. Soon, she smiled a black toothed smile. Dutch Harbor was raided, but was quickly turned into a great U. S. naval triumph at Midway; the Coral Sea story was told and told again; a second front for 1942 was pledged; a new and bigger AEF landed in Ireland ; U. S. fliers turned up in Libya and in 1 urkey ; the scrap rubber drive opened ; Essen and Bremen were leveled by bombs; Mussolini s navy was pounded in a Mediter ranean melee. June's reign brought us only bad news and golden promises. Our victories were those of defense. The storm clouds of a United Nations drive were only gathering. Meanwhile, the hussy made us to suffer She may have led us unknowing nearer the oasis, but she was no bargain, flightv June We welcome the moist mature embrace of July, Matron of Summer.

If you doubt our word you should have attend ed the "open house" observed by the Pet Dairy Products Company here on Friday. The outlay of machinery used in the manu facture of milk products is an impressive sight and the fact that Haywood Countv farmers can supply the raw material for the operation of those units of machinery is also impressive. The officials of the Pet Dairy Products Company were wise in their selection of a location and the Haywood County farmer has likewise profited by their choice. The last one come in at 1-5K shortly after midnight ... from Chattanooga . . . and makes con nection a short while after in Asheville for the North hound buses. . . .' .'

Suggestion, Please There has been a growing criticism of the Army, and an increasing demand for younger men in places of authority, A wave of that kind breaks out ever so often; gets no where, and receeds. However, on this oc casion it may be well to' point out that General Mac Arthur is more than 62 years old. Just what young inexperienced squirt would you suggest to displace him. Ex change.
