THE GLEANER! GRAHAM, N. C., MAR. 4, 1943 mi'BO KYKHY THCUSHAT J. D.KEKNODLE, Editor 11.00 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE Bate rod at *tu Poetoffloe at Graham 1 N. C., at *n*ood-claaa matter. j 1 The State Senate passed a reso lution yesterday to adjourn at noon next Wednesday and sent it over to the House. It was just before recessing till today. It is quite likely the House will con cur. j ~~~~~ i The American Red Cross is asking for $125,000,000 to be | able to meet the world-wide do- j| mand for service, an amount sev eral times more than ever asked for heretofore, but the service ex- . pected will be several times more. The campaign for gifts started Monday. The public has always been generous with the organiza tion, knowing that theirs is a mission of mercy. Don Laws, whose inimitable political newspaper, the Yellow Jacket, was burned out on Feb ruary 8 with an estimated loss of $30,000, up at Moravian Falls, is getting out a make-shift for a few weeks, announces that his plant will be back in operation by April. There he made his money and he has faith that there he can recoup his losses. When the fire occurred, it was reported he carried no insurance. Madame Chiang Kai-Shek has returned to New York after spending ten days at the White House. On Monday night she spoke at Madison Square Garden to a crowd estimated at 17 000. Before leaving Washington she was given a banquet which was attended by 2,000 guests, com posed of foreign representatives, supreme court Justices, Senators, Congressmen, government offi cials and hundreds of others. It was a real event. News comes from Washing ton that former Governor Max Gardner will oppose Senator Rey nolds next year. It will be an in teresting fight. Reynolds ex pects to be a candidate to succeed himself. He is no laggard when it comes to oampaigning.In the past week he has made two broadcasts and defined himself. Since Gard ner ended his term as governor he has practiced law in Wash ington, and at the same time keeps up with the political trend. A fourth term for Mr. Roose velt is the talk in Washington now. Unless the war ends this year it may be certain that he will be a nominee. But should he be nominated his election is not a certainty, if the turnover keeps the pace shown last November. His opponent in 1940, Wendell Willkie, is still in the lime-light and is believed to be grooming for another race. He has not lost any of his popularity. What be comes of the war will determine the question. Mohandas Gandhi, the 72-year old leader in India, completed his 21-day protest fast yester day. If nothing more, the fast drew the world's attention, but perhaps not as much sympathy as he expected. He has a devoted following among the teeming millions in his native India, but the rest of the world has not cared so much whether he pass ed safely through the fast or not. In doing without food for 21 days he not much surpassed Ed die Rickenbacker and his mates who drifted at sea without both food and shelter for about the name length of time. Members of the Legislature, before and after convening on January 6, talked about finishing up and adjourning by March 1st. A few days ago some of them ex pected the session would end T with week, but that notion is fad ing, and it will run into next week. A curb will have to be put on the introduction of new bills, to be able to get through next week. On Monday in the Senate 7 new bills were introduced and ; 43 voted on; in the House 24 new bills and only 9 voted on. So the Senate seems to be in the lead toward adjournment day, which can be deferred till the middle of March before parsing the time of 60 working days, for which pay is received. AFTER THE WAR Planning for the post-war set up may or may not be premature. After the war is over it will not be an entirely new civilization, but it should be an improved civilization for much of the world. Much of the old civiliza tion which has prevailed in many countries will be discarded and should be. The fragments of the" better sort should be preserved for a foundation to build upon and improve. It will be impos sible to create at once the high est and most advanced in civil ization out of what is left. No civilization ever grew up over night. It is a gradual process?an evolution that has worked through generations by retain ing and fostering the better qualities and discarding the use less and vicious. It is a matter for serious and forward-looking planning. The battle between growth and decay will coontinue as it has in the past and the battle will still be on iwhen the present generation is gone. WAR NEWS In the South Pacific Gen. Mac Arthur reports most of a fleet of fifteen Jap ships sunk and a number of planes shot down. It is estimated 15.000 soldiers were on transports sunk. Eefore this 191 Jap ships were destroyed, ac cording to the count kept. The Red army goes forward day after day, annihilating Ger man divisions and taking war materials. Hitler has partially withdrawn his forces from the south of Moscow to strengthen the lines in the Caucasus sector. In North Africa Marshal Rom mel is on a real retreat and being pursued by the allied armies. Whatever success Rommel won in his offensive two weeks ago now seems to have been lost. RAF bombers have made de structive raids on Berlin in the past two or three days. Many big fires have been started and still burning. More than 100 were kill ed and several hundred were in jured. American bombers have car ried out smashing raids on Ital ian cities. On the several fronts in the past few days the allied armies have hit the enemy hard destruc tive blows. On Tuesday German planes struck at London in retaliation, but damage is reported of not much consequence. The sum up in the past week is quite decidedly encouraging to the Allied Nations. Next to farm labor, the out look for farm machinery presents the most serious obstacle to pro duction in 1943. The only way out is to take the best possible care of machines and keep them running. A recent food distribution or der allocated to ice cream manu facturers about 65 per cent of the total milk solids used last year. It gives a full supply to the armed forces and curtails the civilian supply.

With soy bread already consid ered as a protein-substitute for meat-scarce diets, soy milk is being eyed to plug a possible leak in milk supplies. It's already being used for babies allergic 'x> cow's milk. Meat, vegetables, soup, eggs and milk are going abroad in de hydrated form now and other foods will follow soon, for the saving in bulk and weight is such that five shiploads of food can be dehydrated down to one shipload. It is said that 300 of the 600 principal items in food stores are now, or can be dehydrated.

LOUIS C- ALLEN. .. ^ Commissioner. - V Red Cross Needs $125,000,000 To Finance Wartime Program WASHINGTON, D C-?Faced with tkt greatest wartime program Id his tory. the American Red Croea will launch lta 1943 War Fund appeal (or $125,000,000 on March 1, Chairman Norman H. Davis has announced. Pointing out that the bulk of the fund will be used to expand Red Cross services to the men of the armed forces and their families. Chairman Di vis urged every American man and woman to contribute to the fund. With the approval of President Roosevelt, who also Is President of the American Red Cross, the month of March la being observed as Red Cross Month. Walter 8. Gilford, president of tht American Telephone and Tele graph Company, Is chairman of the Red Cross 1943 War Fund. "Red Cross servtces to our armed forces and to the needs of distressed civilians on the battle and home fronts car be supplied only by great expend! tures and sacrifices," Chairman Davis said. "We are exerting our utmost efforts to accompllsff these tasks with the least possible drain upon the re sources of the people In funds, time and energy. We must never falter In our determination to meet these defi nite obligation^ The Red Cross Is con | fldent that all our people will be gen erous In their support of the 1943 War ! Fund More than 65 percent ot the fund received by the national organisation *111 be devoted to meeting Red Cross responsibilities to the armed forces These Include the Red Cross overseas club program, recreation and hospital program, the stationing ot field dlrec tors at all foreign and domestic mili tary camps and bases, the huge sur gical dressing production program, and the blood plasma project which re cently was expanded to a total ot 4,000,000 pints at the request of the Army and Navy. Chairman Davis pointed out that the 1943 program will be vastly greater than the accomplishments of last year. In which the Ret" Cross aided millions of war victims through Its foreign war relief program; gave aid to thousands of prisoners of war; collected 1,600.000 pints of blood for the armed forces; produced 620,000.000 surgical dress ings, and aided more than 1,600,000 servicemen and their families. The 9126.000,000 quota, he Bald, will finance the local, national and interna tional work of the Red Cross for the entire year, barring unforeseen emer gencies. Acme Photo His Pigs Go to War Young Johnny Clay of Rocky Mount, North Carolina, it typical of farm children raising victory pigs and devoting profits to War Bonds. Farm Youth of U. S. Looks to Tomorrow ""TOMORROW'S farmers and farm 1 homemakers are second to no school group in their enthusiasm for investing in War Bonds and Stamps to make sure their future is secure. Through the Schools At War program they are investing what they save and earn in War Stamps and Bonds. First evidence of this is the amount the 4-H Club boys and girls and the FFA boys invested in war savings in 1942 from "Victory Pig" and other projects. A million and a half 4-H Club members put $6,000, 000 of their own savings in War . Bonds and Stamps and sold $2,500, 000 worth of War Savings to their neighbors. Nearly a quarter mil lion members of Future Farmers of America invested more than $1, 500,000. Spurred by the realization that the financial welfare of farm fami lies the next 20 years depends on how wisely they use today s higher incomes from increased food and other wartime production, both groups have set their goals still higher for 1943. These farm youths are building financial reserves, and urging their parents to do the same, for after the-war necessities, to meet finan cial emergencies and to help them get started in college. They're building reserves today for tomorrow's farm buildings and for the other things they will need when they're tomorrow's farmers and homemakers.
