"Zip The Lip" On Military Matters Still Important More Than Ever "Silence" Means "Security," Says War Depart ment. . " vmci uj. i..ijui ueo Interwoven through the whole fa bric of our war effort, strict security measures are always of paramonth importance at the fighting fronts in all parts of the world, in the vast "i enemies, sc- curity finds its real bench mark in ! the saving of lives of American Renting men and in the attainment ui uui uujecuves wiui niiilllliuin use of the crucial factor of time. In comment on the "transcendent importance" of the safeguarding of military information and upon that " ' " out impossible to put too much stress upon this subject." a current War Department publication says: "All who are in positions of authority are counseled to greater dili gence on behalf of security measures There is no release from this re sponsibility until the war ends, as the subject grows in importance at the same rate that our forces become increasingly engaged in operations overseas." The fiercest battling against both Germany and Japan lies ahead. In an Associated Press dispatch filed from Paris prior to the start of the Ger man winter offensive, Don White head, who has covered the operations of the U. S. First Army since the Normandy landings, said: 'Thousands of new gold stars will appear in the windows of American homes this winter the hardest and most savage fighting of all the invasion is under way." Security at home and security a broad always go hand in hand. It is not a far cry from any point in this country to the fighting fronts around the world. Small facts of vital in formation, properly safeguarded here, may well spell the difference between life and death for some of our coun try's gallant fighting men. The road of silence on military matters is the highway to military security. Now more than ever, silence means se curity. 0 Rent Office Gives Instructions To Explain Rules LAURINBl'RG. Jan. 17 Landlords putting housing accomodations on the rental market for the first time must register this property with the Area Rent Office within 30 days of first renting, George W. Jeffrey, director, stated today. "I make this statement," Mr. Jef frey said, "because we intend to make, certain that registration of housing accomodations in this area is 100 per cent. All landlords must have their rental properties regis tered. This is for their own pro tection, for failure to register sub jects a landlord to the penalties pro vided in the Emergency Price Control Act." At the same time, Mr. Jeffrey ad vised tenants who move to ask to see the landlord's copy of the regis tration statment covering the accom modations they have just moved into. This is for the tenant's protection. as the statement shows the maximum legal rent which can be charged for the accommodations. "Where such a change of occup ancy occurs, the landlord is required to file within five days a notice of the change," Mr. Jeffrey added. "This notice, which the rent office will provide, must have on it the new tenant's signature." Registration of rental propertv is not an involved process, M1-. Jeffrey explained. The form is in triplicate. The original of the statement re mains on file in the rent office. One ropy is sent to the landlord, and one j to the tenant.

These small L-4 type airplanes are equipped with 65 HP motors and are known as "Grasshoper' planes. They correspond to the popular "Cub" planes widely used in commercial and private flying before the war. Over seas they are used as "Eyes of the Artillery" in liaison and observation work. At Fort Bragg liaison pilots and crew members of the XXXII Corps are being trained in this type of aerial activity. Overseas it was found that these Grasshopper planes frequently could land in remote and inaccessible areas on water or lakes where it would be impossible to land planes with conventional types of land ing gear. On landing in these areas rescues could be effected, for maronn ed or isolated airmen or fighting men, supplies could be carried In where it had been necessary to drop them before, and the securing of valuable information could be facili tated. Thus Fort Bragg, and speci fically, Mott Lake, was designated as a testing place for the grasshop - I ters, of 607 St. Sioux St., Springfield, O- i 7 1 C ijL 117 1 f lRai ulXUl If Ol Loan Report Is Excellent One County Well Over All Quotas, Says Chairman D.

"Buck" McPhaul, owner of the Auto Inn. The plant will operate an electric mould for recapping car and small truck tires, and a large steam mould for work on truck tires, it was stated.

Mr. Vander McNeill Not So Well Mr. Vander McNeill has had sev- cral rather severe heart attacks since Want Hoke Money To Erect Locker Storage Plant Only 71 Lockers Rented Of Re quired .'5(10 Necessary To Secure WPB Priority Approval. Sounding out the genuine interest ol the people ot Hoke county in frpP7pr lr.ckpr stnr.iee ,il:mt :i ram. mittrp mimed Inst week tins secured rent payments of $15 each annually from 71 individuals of the county, it was stated late yesterday by A. S. Knowles and Miss Josephine Hall of the farm and home agents' of fices. Advance payments of a year's ren tal by at least 300 individuals is necessary to secure the necessary War Production Board approval of a priority for the materials needed to the erection and installation of a 500 locker plant, equipped for the curing of meats, and the quick freeze of meats and vegetables and fruits. One businessman, speaking for a group interested in the erection and operation of the plant, stated early this week that a hurried canvass of interested persons showed that local capital would be available for this purpose. He stated that he was sure the plant would be one which would justify the investment of the $35,000 required, and that many far mers would be interested in secur ing stock in such a company formed for the operation and management of the plant. A much wider sign up of individ uals and payment of the rental fee for the first year will be neces sary, it was stated, before any thing further can be done about applying for the WPB approval of the pro ject. Only about one-fifth of the necessary total of 300 have signed so far, but the committee appointed last week is to make a special effort within the next week, and a general meeting of all interested persons is planned later this month to discuss the progress of the sign-up. Miss Hall pointed out that farm wtomen and their families would benefit greatly by the use of the plant, having fresh green, home grown vegetables and fruits avail able each month of the year, as well as having a place where their meats could be cured at any time ; of the year. This should give them ' a chance for a far more balanced diet of more tasty foods, she stated, I that is now available to many of our farm families.
