THE GLEANER j GRAHAM, N. C., JULY 2, 1942 ISSUED KVEKY TUUH8DAY J. D.KERNODLE, Editor $1.00 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE Eutered at *tu i'oatoffloe al Graham. N. C., as HM ood-claM matter. The largest revenue bill, $42,. 800,000,000, in world history, was approved and concurred in by the United States Senate ir 31 minute3 on Tuesday, the last day of the fiscal year. We offer no apology for devot ing so much space to the war. It is the biggest man-made event in human history, and no other has or will affect the destiny of more Americans and the people of other countries. Secretary of the Treasury Morgentrau announces the quota of war bonds to be bought in July is one billion dollars. The quota isi apportioned among the States. The largest quota is $171,596,000. North Carolina's quota is $12,153,000. It was made known a week ago that Major General Dwight Eisenhower, former assistant chief of staff for the United States, was in London' to take charge of the American forces in Europe. On his appointment the opinion is based that a second front will soon be establisjhed against Germany. When Prime Minister Winston Churchill got home from his con ference with President Poosevelt, he found Great Britain in tur moil. His countiy.nen were blam . ing him for reverses in the Egyp tian sector. Some wanted to de pose him aod set up a new lead ership. Somewhere in that part cf the world, several thousand j ears ago, a nation was delivered from oomh.ge. The leader had gone away to cc nfir in behalf ? f his people. In his absence they had set up idols and were rebel lious'. Notwithstanding the lead er's absence, his people went out every morning and gathered manna for the day. Argentina and Chile, two of the South Amerioan republics, still maintain some relationship with the Axis. They did not go all the way with the 21 Ameri can republics, and sever complete diplomatic relations. They want ed to keep on selling beef, wool and minerals to the Axis. There are many German residents in Argentina. In fact, most of South America is honeycombed with fifth columnists. Several! weeks ago, notwithstanding the semi-friendly relations, a Ger man sub sunk an Argentine ship. Demands were made on Germany for an explanation. The matter was patched up. Since that time 4 other ships have been torpedo ed, one of them 3unk. Argentina is not in good humor about the assaulta, nor is she receiving whole-hearted sympathy from the si3ter republics. In truth some of them may feel that she is getting her reward for her aloofness, and that "you can't tnade with Hitler." The sinkings of shipping on the East coast has passed 325, and before the week is ended will amount to 350 or more, if they continue at the same rate as during the past few days. The enemy is sending them to the bottom about as fast aa they are being launched from the ship yards. Some sinkings of enemy ships reported but the number is far behind the losses of Ameri can and others of the United Na tiona Not only are we losing the' shipping Gut the cargoes and a' large number of men. The loss of men according to late reports, | approaches well toward 350. It is. not a pretty picture. We will have to step-up production, orI the situation will grow more serious day by day. The loss of j so much shipping presents an other serious phase; it is the stalling of the delivery of war materials to the nations depend ing upon America. We are mak ing the goods, but, unless they are placed where they can be used, they count for nothing. RUBBER . Saving rubber hasi been dinned i into the ears of the public, hour ? by hour and day by day, for ' more than two weeks. If the ' Government did not need it, so much dinning would be foolish, but it is needed to keep the war machines rolling. It is as vital for carrying on the war and winning as shoe-leather, and j ammunition. The dfinning is believed to ' have fallen upon many d<uf ears, I else the time for gathering scrap rubber would not have been ex tended for another ten days. If those who are so carelesi in the use of rubber and knew howdifficult and under what haz ardoas conditions it is procured ,they would slow down and drive J more carefully. | The supply of rubber from the ,Flar East has been completely |cut off, but fortunately there is limited production of this valu able material in South America,, [in Peru and Brazil, but those countries are not prepared and equiped to get it in quantity to meet the demands*. The United States is trying to help the producing countries to meet a part of the demand. | This country has agreed to spend $5,000,000 for rubber develop ment in Brazil asid $1,125,000 in Peru, ajid will help other cooper ating South American repiblicfi It requires an army of men properly equipped to produce rubber in quantity. Dr. Earl N. Bressman, direc tor of the agricultural division of the office of inter-American Affairs, told a United States sen ate committee that a prelimina ry equipment order from Bnazil included 5,000 tapping cups, 5, 000 machetes 10,000 filesi, 5,000 shotguns, 250,000 shotgun shells Ipnd 3,000,000 anti-malaria tab lets. It is estimated some 40,000 tappers are now at work in the Amazon basin, and it is hoped to ha,ve 20,000 more equipped during 1942. The workers have to cut and fight their way through the jun gles, infested with mosquitoes 'and other poisonous insects and deadly snakes atfvd reptiles. Hence the workers have to carry quinine and other anti-ma laria medicines', and shotguns and knives to kill and fight off the snakes and reptiles. The gathering of rubber is anything but a picnic holiday job. LATE WAR NOTES That China is putting on stif fer resistance to Jap invasion and inflicting upon them some heavy losses, is evidence that supplies are leaching China from Britain and the United States. The supplies are going by freight through the o r. ? i ? The Japs are suspected of try ing to establish bases in the Aleu tian Islands for the purpose of attacks on Siberia ar.d Alaska. America is watching them. The Nazi and Red armies have had a continuous clash on the Russian front with increased fury for the past week. The los ses in men and material have been enormous, but tne Reds have withstood and checked Hit. lei's big offensive. In East Africa, the British huve been pushed back by the Germans. The situation is re garded as serious for the Allied , Nations. < i Reports from Australia, Gen- i eral MacArthur in command, in- ' diuate that the Japs have been 1 hit some hard blows, but there', lias been nothing specially deci-j rive. J Freighters of the sky are in creasing the volume of their busi ness. Before the war is over heavy freight will be shipped around the world through the skies. It is being done right new on a Jirge scale in carrying on the war. ___ . The conviction of the Ameri can Medical Association, and the District of Columbia Medical So ciety for conspiracy to restrain trade was confirmed this week by tht United States Court of Appeals. The cases will be appeal ed! through the United States Supreme Court. No restrictions on individual lailroad or bus travel now ex'sts, the Office of Defense Trunspor tation advises us. It couples this information with reminders and pointed hints that "planning a vacation close to home this year will not only relieve public trans portation facilities this summer but will be a patriotic gesture." Victory Day 4th of duly Celebra tion On Saturday will be staged a big 4th of July celebration in Burlington, sponsored by the American Legion. It is for the entire county. Every patriotic and fraternal organization is urged to take part in the event. There will be band music and speaking and in the parade will be included the various civic organizations. The C. S. O. Held Meeting in Courthouse On last Thursday evening Citizens Service Organization held a business meeting in the courthouse. It wa3 made known that there are over 3,000 mem bers in the various units in the county, composing two full regi ments, and enough colored mem bers for a full battalion. The commanding officer i3 B. Everett Jordon, Rev. James S. Cox, the ,'ounder of the C. S. O., was made brigade chaplain, Col. John B. Stratford, wa3 named chief of itaff, Dr. D. E. Robinson wa3 ippointed medical officer with the rank colonel. Maj. Jam&3 Rogers was given command of the colored battalion. A picnic wa3 planned to be held on July 4 at Alexander Wilson school. ? ? What Ifou Buh With WAR BUNDS * Ships of the Destroyer type com prise the bulk of our fighting ships in the American Navy. Their aver age displacement is about 1800 tons, and they are fast, powerful, and hard hitting. They have been par ticularly effective in convoy duty and gave a good account of themselves in the Coral Sea engagement. They cost approximately $3,600,000 each. Every Nayy shipyard is turning out Destroyers in record time. They are essential for our two-ocean Navy. Purchase ot more and more War Bonds will assure all-out pro duction of these vital units for the Navy. Buy every pay day. If ev erybody invests at least ten percent of his income in War Bonds we can do the job. U.S.TrtMryDrfartmfl Because tin cans are likely to ax transportation' and othfir fa cilities needed for war purposes, Federal authorities are urging the public to U3e fresh foods ac much as possible. Latest figures of the U. S. De partment of Agriculture reveal that th^re were ?3<2,')00 more persons employed on American farms on June 1 than on the! same date a year ago.
