Every sane person who wants America to win this war is -'oing to save his car and tires any everything possible that is needed by the fight ing forces or thai is out of produc tion for the duration of the war.

And no new res are b**ingr made for civilian use Do We Want Them Back Again? Vs the war proceeds and its de mands o? the nation's resources in crease. scarcity begins to close upon us. W" are having not only to fore go luxuries but also certain com forts, and tlv pinching conditions are already making us reminiscent of the days when there was a car in every garage with good tires and ??nough gas and plenty of sugar in tho bowl. Before the conflict has ended greater privations must come, great er sacrifices must be made and more suffering endured. We are yet to b'-come more reminiscent of the peace and plenty that we enjoyed in other years But would we have those days tack ''xactly as they were? Hardly, if we ar<- wise. Our most urgent and immediate task is to win a victory over the enemy but that isn't all that is need ed. We need to win a victory over ourselves and certain social and eco nomic evils that beset us. We can scarcely want back that life with its 40.000 deaths per year on the highways, with its crime rec oid. its unemployment, poverty and want. WlH'n we have vanquished the en "my and put an end to his ruthless ness and re-established peace in the world, a big task will have been per formed. But another one. equally as great, will await us ? the remaking of society as free as humanly possible of the evils of the pre-war days. Banks And The Farmer Thousands of bankers throughout the country are playing a big part in the effort to expand farm produc tion. And they are doing it in a typically American manner. Small community bankers, working through ?itatc banking associations, have over a period of years established agri cultural programs designed to de velop better farmers and better farms. They initiated these pro grams long before the war. seeking ) culM a m >.e pt o.-ipero'i* .^nculturml mdi:ttry When tinkers h**lo th* fnrm?\-a ' Iwy a r+ help? tig their selves. nicy | kruiu that ofciy contiguous progress brum a rising standard of living j 1 i >il better things to The record of th?' bunk rs of the western >Lit<' ol Orecon in' encouraging agi icultural develop- i mi'?t. which is typii-u; of many other niuminatin.
