DAY-LIGHT SAVING TIME Now we have it! Just what do you think we can do with it? Will it give us a one hour jump on the Japs each day ? Is it the Early-Bird that catches the worm ? If so, then we should have taken a tip from Roosevelt's moving up Thanksgiving and been at Pearl Harbor a week earlier than we were?then may be it would not be "Remember Pearl Harbor"?or maybe we would not have been in this war now to haye to save that hour of day-light. Maybe we are just try ing to out-smart the "Rising Sun" our foe of the Eastern Hemisphere?with or without day-light saving time the Axis powers will have to sit up and take notice of "US". ALL WORK AND NO PLAY? Is it true, that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy? If, so, then why think about cutting out the play?when we know that we must all work?and work hard and fast to keep ahead of those that have 'been working overtime for years pre paring for this conflict that we have just entered. Someone has suggested that Baseball be abolished during this crisis?is Baseball injurious to the mind or body? Is it not a clean sport? It is inly natural that normal people are going to spend a small part of their time and money getting their minds off the things that get them down?physically and mentally. And a good game of Baseball can do just that?so let's let the Ball flayers play ball. FOR AFTER WAR We should begin now to econo mize, by doing without some of the unnecessary things, and put aside a part of our income so that we will have something to fall back on in the days of after | war hard times?it will be a lot easier to save now than it will be to have to do without later on. The Senate approved a bill, this week granting the rank of Major-General to Colonel Wil liam M. Mitchell, who has been dead a long time. Senator Wiley ot Wisconsin, the old home state of Mitchel], pressed the bill to passage. Many people remember how Mitchell was court martialed when he had the courage and the power to tell the United States that .its air force was inefficient and that our country was inade quately prepared. He was given the works. Mitchell told the truth. Before the United States, got into this war Colonel Char-J les Lindbergh was asked to make a survey of the airways of the United States. After he had done so he told the military establish ment of our Government about7 the same thing that Mitchell re ported more than twenty years ago. Trend: "General Lindbergh may be decorated posthumously." WHAT? NO RUBBER The American public has been having a hard time to under stand why a war with Japan makes it impossible to get rub ber. The American idea has been that when any supply runs short, to get out and get it? somewhere, somehow. Secretary of Commerce, Jesse Jones, says stacks of rubber is on hand,* and immense quantities of old rubber that can be used, and lots of men and factories in our country to manufacture synthet ic rubber. Jones knows exactly what he is talking about. As Secretary of Commence he has more data on the subject than any other person. He has pieced it all together and he flatly as serts that any rubber shortage can be made up right here in the United States. In the first World War we built great power plants on the Tfennessee River to manufacture nitrates. Afterwards it was de cided to manufacture fertilizers there, to make us independent of Germany for those supplies. It also developed that dye staffs were not made in the Unit ed States, and that caused a lot of worry and trouble. But that proved to be a blessing in dis guise because the American chemical industry developed superior processes for the fnanu facture of dyes, and the United States now stands at the head of every nation of the world as the leading producer of dyes and chemical goods. What? No rub ber. Get going with Secretary Jones. He is also R. F. C. Ad ministrator, through which he has pledged 400 million dollars to produce so much rubber that Leon Henderson and his quitters, will holler "Stop,that's plenty, Jesse! THE FAR EAST D'spatch?Singapore's' defend ers shot do\vh 13 Japanese raid ers over the Singapore island citadel Tuesday, RAF bombers were officially reported to have hunched "hekvy and successful attacks" against Japanese-held airdromes in Malaya during the night. An official Tokyo broadcast claimed?without confirmation elsewhere?that Japanese spear heads had thrust within six miles of Johore strait, mile-wide water barrier to S.ingapore, and assert ed that large Japanese forces were moving up for a direct assault on the island stronghold. British headquarters, how ever, declared that the main bat tle sector was still many miles away, with heavy fighting rag ing in northwest Johora state, in the Bakri and Bukit Payong areas, where British artillery in flicted bloody losses on the in vaders in close-range firing. TRAITOR U SAW U Saw, Premier of Burma, British possession, was arrested by the British for conspiring )yith the Japanese. He is being held at a undisclosed spot, for having planned to hand over the 14,000,000 inhabitants of Burma to the Japanese. It seems that he was "peeved" with his last trip to Great Britain, and left in a "huff". Burma is a very important possession, it is a . port of entry for American aid moving to China, and also a base for Brit ish aerial assaults on Japanese forces driving down Malaya to ward Singapore. Newspaper Institute The mid-winter newspaper in stitute was held in Chapel Hill last Friday and Saturday. It was a very successful institute in attendance and information. Walter Lippman, noted author and commentator, addressed the opening session on Friday. Hon. Josephus Daniels, of Raleigh former ambassador to Mexico spoke to the institute a the lun cheon session Friday on the sub ject "Propaganda and Censor ship". He 8a id a "free" press at war is as essential as in peace". Committees were busy during the session discussing the war problems and their relation to newspapers.

Seiberling of the Sei berling Rubber Companv of Ak- ' ron, Ohio, before the house small business committee. Seiberling and other representatives of tire and tube companies appeared be fore the committee to discuss the effect of the government tire rationing program. Rubber bearing guayule plants have been raised for several years in the Salinas valley of California and now the plan has , been advocated to plant 75,000 acres of these plants for domestic measures. j, Mr. Seiberling also said that he was not concerned over the ; possibility of Japan cutting off our rubber sources in the South i Pacific. He said "if this nation can't get the Japs in two years, . we ought to haul the old flag , down now and call it quits." . i i Despite record-breaking re- , ports to her allies, chiefly the , United Kingdom, stocks of im- , portant food in Canada are i greater than for many years. , NOTICE j!
