NEEDED ONE MORE BI LLET The !ir.;,l outcome of the Hoke j county Deduction Day, a meeting ;it i which a "Work or Fight" program, was discussed, rest; with the coopera tion which is accorded the committee ' by the citizens of the county. That the need for increased effort for production is evident needs no ex planation.. Without that need Gover nor Broughton would not have pro claimed a N'orih Carolina Day ot Ded ication. In that proclamation the Governor stated that he would, if neco sary. use the emersency powers granted to him by the I94.- legislature to make sure that idleness among those capa ble of work would not exist. It does not seem that there : hould be any true American who would wait to be forced to do his part in time of national emergency such ns this. Rather, every person should take it upon himself to do his bit in whatev er line of endeavor he may find his Cf.iiing. We recognize the value of recrea tion and do not condemn participation in spare time. But, in times like these, there can be little spare ti re tor any- ne. Whether it is a question of money or not since money is flowing in re-c- rd V"h:r.o d.;ri:m thU vvar boom every rhy'cHv-lH pero:s owes it to r.s r; ... himself, his country, and to the boys on the lighting front to make his ef fort felt toward Victory. The private in the foxhole of Gua dalcanal maybe he is your brother or friend works for his country without a word about pay. When the Jap strikes at him he enters the tight, not for himself alone but for every resident of these United States. ' Down in New Guiena duriny mop ping up operations in one sector of that island, one of our boys in a fox hole was seeking to overcome a Jap similarly situated. Each time the oth er showed a helmet or an arm the oth er took a shot at him. This continued for hours with neither able to knock the other out. Finally our American shot the last bullet he had and the Jap discovered that he no longer an swered his fire. Defenseless, he was slaughtered by the little yellow ;oldier from the other side. What could one more bullet have meant? Would some American moth er have seen her boy come safely home had someone produced another bullet? When the Governor, or local offi cials, or Tommie Upehurch's "Work or Fight" coninittee says produce, let every citizen of Hoke county back then: up and show the Japs and Ger mans how it can be done. O IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE. it is that may be saved by diligent and faithful performance of every respon sible service to the war effort on the home front. Charlotte Observer. There is a man in our town there may be cores like him here but a year ago was paying but little atten tion to his civilian responsibilities. To him the war was an intangible, remote and abstract tragedy. He was buying his gasoline on the basis of a C card. He was ignoring his opportunity to buy war bonds. He was grousing and griping at every restraint and restric tion laid upon him by the government in the national interest and for tiie end- of victory. In a word, he was n ot interested, as millions of others like him then, and who remain that way. were not. and are not now interested in doing their personal part. But some months ago. unexpectedly, the army took his b. y out of college and put him in uniform and lo the miricale of transformation in that man. He has now put his car away and walks 1 1 and from his work. He is buying more than his proportion of war bond.-, and much of his time he spends in heaping his angry accusa tions and calumnies against others who are doing nothing to holp along lor victory.

This appeared in the July 5, 1943 issue of the News and Obser ver, and we believe those of you who might have missed it will find it inter esting. "While the Office of Price Admin istration is being drawn and quarter ed in Washington, one very real tri bute to the American system of gov ernment is the manner in which local OPA boards more than 5.0(10 of them are standing up valiantly to their job. "These boards were thrown togeth er hastily in late December, 1941. to ration tires. They knew nothing about rationing. Nobody did. For mal rationing was something with which Americans had had no experi ence. Next came automobiles, type writers, sugar, and then along the Atlantic seaboard gasoline, which is politically inflamable. "Never has there been an evenly distributed work load on these groups of inexperienced men and women, as signed the task of regulating their neighbors. At times a great blow-up has seemed inevitable because of the unpredictable peaks of work, because there was not enough money until re cently to hire good help, because office equipment has been lacking, and be cause the boards have had to operate against the grain of himian nature. "In a country accustomed to "Yes" for the answer, they have had to say "Xo", They stand athwart the path of the desire of the American people. , It is their duty, given them by their government, to render this war ser vice. Many of the members resent government methods, but there is re markable loyalty to the programs they i administer. Generally, active board members develop from an attitude of casualness toward zeaalousncss. Their loyalty under the terrific pounding , they get is inspiring, i "These past months have been hard . on the morale of OPA men and wo ; men. but there has been no remarka ble increase in registrations from boards. As various elements fight OPA. the board members stand up i and carry en. Whatever may be hap ! pomng to OPA in Washington, it is not falling apart in the field."

Movement of iin armored divUion and its vehi cles oi war requires 75 trains of from -11 to -1.3 c..r. each. Travel ..f pepl- on business dirert ly and vitally connected with the war also is increasing as the tempo of our military production rises. In addition, there is the extra demand for seats on trains and buses thrown on our trans port services by the rationing of gas oline to save rubber tires and by the critical casoline shortage in the east. Complicating all this is the fact that there will be fewer trains and buses this sim mer. L'sual supplementary summer rail services won't be operat ed this year. No new passenger trains or mter-cdy buses are being built be cause the limi'.ed supplies of materials are being put to better use in winning the war. The more a train or bus tra vels the faster it deteriorates. The following suggestions have been worked out as the basis for a sound vacation plan which will not interfere with the war effort and will cause a minimum of annoyance and inconven ience to the would-be vacationer. a) Spend the vacation as near home as posible. b Take your vacation, if possible, in the fall or winter and not in July or August when travel normally in creases. c) Take your vacation all at one time don't split it up into several ; short periods or a number of long week-ends. d) Plan to allow for transportation contingencies requiring last minute changes.
