TO WIN WAR Pres. Roosevelt Tells Congress Pledges More Than 50 Bil lions of National Income To Speedy Production of Arms to Win Total Vic tory Over Axis; Enthus iastic Congress Hears Fighting Message Washington, Jan. 6.? A breath taking, mammoth arms-produc ??u.,program' American forces fighting on many fronts, and an eventual hard-hitting attack up on the enemy's own territory ^?"won into ??? wur plan by President Roosevelt today and presented to an enthusiasti cally receptive Congress. All this, the President told a joint session of the national leg islature, must lead inevitably to total victory the "tnilitarists of Berlin and Tokyo started this war, but "the massed, angered! forces of common humanity will finish it." Mammoth Program There were gasps and whistles of amazement from some mem bers of Congress, as he outlined tne arms-production program* This year 60,000 planes; next year 125,000. This year 45,000 tanks; next) year 75,000. This year 20,000 anti-aircraftl guns; next year 35,000 This year MOO.OOO' tons of' shipping: next year 10.000,000 "These figures." said the Presi-! dent, "and similar figures- from a multitude of other implements of war will give the Japanese and Nazis a little idea of Just what they accomplished in the attack at Pearl Harbor." And as a thunderous outburst of applause subsided, he departed from his prepared text to ad lib "And J rather hope all these figures I have given will become common knowledge in Germauy and Japan." - The President indicated that the size of the war program had been increased since he talked about it to reporters last Tuesday. A. that time he said the aim was to spend in the fiscal year begin-1 ning next July about half the es natlonal income of $100, 000,000, 000. Today he estlmat Ann nnn expenditures at $56,005, than haif.?r COnMderab* ?e Purpose of Effort "UC,h? a great Productive n at WaS the P?rPose not of providing a "slightly su peiioi supply of munitions," but ?h sup?rlor'ty "so overwhelming that the Axis nations can never hope to catch up with it." ??Th'S ,great 8*ore of weapons is (LSUn P ,y ??i only the forces of in ?hi .. te"' but th08e of = < ? nat<ons with which it is nl f hi "nu he emphasized re pealed* that the United States is ?if i f ,on t,he "8ame side" with n e. ?

TO GATHER SCRAP IRON ORDER MACHINE PARTS NOW These Two Things Very Urgently Important Now Explains Mr. MacLendon At Meeting in Court House Tuesday Representatives of Agricultur al Agencies forming the Agricul tural Workers Council met in Louisburg at the Court House Wednesday. Mr. MacLendon was guest speaker from Raleigh and presented to the Agricultural workers two major programs re quiring immediate attention. The two progenia wm,: i. Thft Parm Machinery Repair Program. 2, Collection of Scrap Metal Pro gram. Mr. MacLendon advised that there was a need of 120% to 125% normal demand for new machines and that metal was available for only 75% to 80% ol normal demand. The shortage must be made up by better use of present machines. He further ad vised that agricultural agencies should reach every farmer in Franklin County, advising them that the solution to this problem was to order only such new farm equipment as is absolutely neces sary. repair and recondition pres ent equipment. He emphasized the fact t'hat farmers should or der only farm machinery and re pair parts that are needed now and enough to take care of nor mal needs in 1942. The fact was emphasized that 10 pounds of re pair metal may put 1,000 lbs. ol machine in working- condition Therefore, t'he policy is to repair all machinery possible and to sell or trade surplus useable machin ery. Also sell for Junk all ma chinery that can not be repaired and used. It was emphasized that dealers in farm machinery should immediately commence selling equipment only on Bona ride signed order from consum ers and that consumers should place signed orders with dealers at> once If prompt delivery is de sired. The following statement covers the situation: "PLACE for 8,1 rePalr Parts AT ONCE. This does not mean just talking h over with the dealer ACTUALLY PLACING SIGNED ORDER. This is the most important IMMEDIATE STEP in the enMre program ? for this reason: Manufacturer^ wilJ not be given priority for metal except upon dealers orders back ed up by signed, Bona-Fid'e or ders from consumer. The usual practice of waiMng until just be fore a machine is needed in thf Held, and then going to town foi repair parts, will not work thii spring. THERE WON'T BE ANY REPAIR PARTS THERE, unless the order is placed AT ONCE." Mr. MacLendon, In connection with the collection of scrap metol program, emphasized the fact thai farmers could assist in obtaining needed machinery by turning over to scrap dealers all scrap metal that' exists. He advised "Scran iron and steel is not only desir able for the tonnage thus added to metals for defense but Is ab solutely necessary in the present method of manufacturing NEW steel." He advised that scra[ hietal like most commodities is graded and classified with some grades btjing worth more than others. Farm scrap generall; falls Into the group known as No, 2 Heavy MelMng Steel Scrap, and a fixed price of 77c per hundred pounds has been placed on this metal by OPM delivered at At lanta, Ga. He emphasized thai there was a cost In sorting, cut ting and shipping this metal and that Franklin County farmers should receive from 40c to 55< for farm scrap, not includln* sheet metal and (lightly less when picked up by peddler*. A Com mittee was appointed by W. C, Boyce, Chairman of Agricultural Workers Council, consisting ol W. J. Smith. P. H. Missey, C. H. Easton, Buck "Harris, W. H. Allen Jr., Alleen Crowder. Llllle Mae Braxton, W. W. McClure and Thurman GrIITln. to develop plans to collect scrap Iron. It wis the decision of this committee to con duct) a SCRAP IRON DAY, re questing the cooperation of nasrs papers, school officials, commun ity Leaders, merchants, radio. Red Crolss leaders, cotton glnners and scrap Iron dealers In this pro gram. President Roosevelt's Birthday. Saturday. January 31, 1942, was selected as SCRAP IRON DAY. The Program as sug gested will permit direct sale to Junk dealers or their representa tives at local centers or group col lection from small or* large con tributors at schools with the col lection at schools to be Bold to Junk dealers and proceeds donat ed to the Red Cross. 600,000 thousand pounds of scrap iron is Franklin County's goal. Let's reach It one day. Scrap Is need ed to make farm machinery re pairs, new farm machinery and TO PUT LOTS ON LISTS DRAW JURORS FOR COURTS Cash Offer For County Home Property; To Join In Deeding Property To Former Owner; Many Reports f u The Board of County Coramis . sioners met in regular session on , Monday with all members pres i ent.

The Roard drew juries for the January Civil Court and the Feb i-uary Criminal Court. ( After allowing a number of ac counts the Board adjourned. Register Feb. 16th Washington, Jan. 5. ? President , Roosevelt, mustering the nation's manpower for "final and com plete" defeat of the Axis, today i ordered men between the ages of 20 and 44, inclusive, to register on February 16 for active mili tary duty. ' The order, issued under the ' amended Selective Service Act, ' will create a new reservoir of 10, [ 000,000 men from which fighting forces can be drawn for the Army, : Navy and Marine Corps. ' Inductions will be covered by ' the rapidity wlt>h which the draf 1 tees can be equipped and housed. The revised Selective Service - Act requires the registration of J men between the ages of 18 and 64, inclusive. It subjects only [ those who have passed t'helr 20th j birthday, but not yet reached 45 ' to active service. Those between,! ' 18 and 19. and 45 and 64, inclus " lve. are liable for noncambatant ? work.

BABSOX Babson Park, Florida. January j 9. ? There is no use kidding our-| seivos any long er. For the first time for twenty five years'we are at war. In fact, we now are the leading nation in the greatest war the jvorld has ever ' wtitroessed. To those who are complaining be cause they can not now huv new automohile tires let me Bay. "We aint seen nothing ? babsox yen HI V VOl'R METAL GOODS NOW Very few people realize the changes which will occur during 1942, ? the most important- year in our nation's history. Not only will our sons be drafted iuto the army and our daughters be called to drive trucks, but all of us will be told what we can do and can buy. More-over, these 1942 regu-i lations will be far more stringent than anything even discussed dur ing World War 1. Among the first goods to evapo rate from the stores will be the non-ewent'ial metal and rubber goods. These include automobiles, bicycles, tricycles, carts, Ice and roller skates, and most toys con taining metal or rubber. In ad dition, the following articles will be scarcer every month: Itadios, electric Coasters, broilers, food mixers and waffle irons, metal re frigerators, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, and other household gadgets. Metal and wire waste baskets, garbage pails, smoking stands, ash trays, vases, etc., are already pretty much gone from Mie wholesale markets, [if you want any of these things, better buy them tomorrow. Metal trunks, metal furniture and kitch en cabinets, metal lamps and standards, paper and cordage may also be banned. Better buy now a two years' supply of overshoes, rubbers, etc. WHAT AROl'T FOODS? There is no statistical evidence for food scarcity. In fact, we have on hand a wheat supply ample for over two years. In most- mar kets chicken and lamb are selliug for less than a year ago and beef is only very little higher, but pork is way up in price. Prepare to eat more 1>o( roasts and lamb stews; but cut down on eggs, cheese, cream, etc. which are be ing sent abroad to the soldiers. Fifteen per cent more chVkens will he on the market in 1942. With the exception of tomato soup, the cheaper brands of can ined soup are now higher and [many canned goods arc now scarce. This, however, should be only temporary as the potential supplies of fruits and vegetables are greater than ever. Tin, how ever. is getting scarce so' that the tin can soon may costNjnoie than the food in it)! \ FISH IS BECOMING SCARCE .The fish catch for 1941 was about 4.500 million pounds. This could readily be stepped up to 6.000 million pounds; but to do so will cost money. Fishing boats are being taken over by the~gov ernment for mine layers and other purposes; fishermen are frighten ed of submarines; while these able-bodied men can get in war work ashore paying far more than fishing. , SOAP AND FATS When our .soldier boys get to Africa or the Far East, they will want us to send them soap. Hence, wise mothers will now stock up on soap, fate, oils, etc. All these will sell for higher prices if you are able to get them at any price. Bread is now going up one cent a loaf; sugar will be ntf, cheaper; while canned milk, and most package goods will sell at higher prices. This, however, will be due to high labor costs, Increased freight rates, and packaging costs ? not to a shortage of the food contents. Housewives should confine pur chases to standard goods and ex periment with substitutes. I gave my family recently 15-cent oleo margarine instead of 40-centi but ter and they could not tell the dif ference. Quit buying crab meat and other imported products which you don't nead. 1 have cut out- tea and coffee and feel better for it. If you need any wall paper or floor coverings better buy them now. No hurry about stocking up on cotton goods. NEW OPPORTUNITIES ' Every cloud has a stiver lining! For instance, a great new industry has developed in Eunyp*? *the car rying of messages, packages, etc. by bicycle, and on foot'. Much of this is legitimate; but there also is much bootlegging tansporta lion. Foj' instance, notwithstand ing t-he censorship, for one dol lar American money anyone can get any letter from Paris to Lis bon and hence to the United States These "underground" routes carried on by relays of workmen and tourists are giving employment to thousands of peo ple. The United States offers great opportunities in devising substit utes and the reconditioning of "worn out" goods. This includes retreading tires, repairing sewing machines, rebuilding vacuum cleaners, radios, and household appliances of all kinds. Small re pair shops will open up in every neighborhood. The shoe cobblers will do a big business in 1942 and 1943. The used-automobile mar ket will exceed in activity the stock market. Dealers in second-' hand fmniliirq :md other products, will have a big year in 1942. BRAINS ARK FOR USE There may be some small in crease in living costs in the months ahead; bub those who buy only standard goods and do care ful shopping should keep costs down to former figures. Remem ber: ? If you insist on the same goods and same grades, it will cost us more to live; but by using sane substitutes we can be as healMiy and happy and perhaps .live cheaper than during 1941.

Japanese airmen hare been raining death and destruction on defenseless towns during the month-long in vasion of the main Philippine Is land of Luzon, the War Depart ment was advised tonight by General Douglas MacArthur. ? Four towns have been destroyr ed completely, MacArthur report ed, and many natives have been killed by airmen who swooped low over helpless villages and ma chine-gunned the people in the streets. This newest account of Japan ese terrorism came in the midst of whati appeared to be an all-out Japanese assault aimed at blasting MacArthur's dogged defenders out of the rugged corner of Luzon where they are making a gallant stand. Aerial Attack Attar ,a ? briof lull In the land fighting, the invaders today turn ed loose a savage aerial attack on all fronts? bombing and strafing the defending ground positions in Rataan Province ? and hammered away relentlessly at the island fortress of Corregidor with big bombers. The latest- Japanese depreda tions followed last Sunday's re port from MacArthur relating that enemy forces occuping Ma nila were subjecting the city's white civilian poulation to harsh treatment, forcing them to re main off the streets under penalty of being shot. Secretary of State Oordell Hull denounced the Jap anese action as "monstrous" and as "descending to the level of an imal savagery." Tonight's Army communique ? No. 50 ? listed areas which have heen "mercilessly bombed" dur ing the past month. Raler. Santa Rosa. Calamha, and Tarlac ? all Miese were descri bed as "completely razed." And ? "During the last few days civil ians in Arayat. Camiling; San Fernando and other towns were machine-gunned in the streets by low-flying enemy planes." Moscow. Thursday. Jan. 8. ? The Russians announced today the recapture of Meshchovsk. only 40 miles short of t-he Vyazma-Rry ansk German winter defense line, and also said that Ave Nazi com panies had beeji Innihllated on the southwestern front. The retaking of Meshchovsk. 40 miles southeast of Kaluga, repre sented a Red Army advance of at) least 120 miles since the big So viet counteroffensive got under way east of Tula early last month. Several other villages were ac cupled by this southern arm oper ating on t-he central front in nn effort to encircle the German de fenders of Mozhaisk. 57 miles due west of Moscow, the communique said. The northern arm on the cen tral front last was reported at Stnritsa. only 25 miles from Rzhev, which is another north south point on the Vyazma-Rry ansk line. Roth Meshchovsk and Staritsa are well beyond Mozhaisk which has heen bypassed. With the British Forces Out side Agcdabfa, Libya, Jan. 7. ? American-built 12-ton tanks of a British Hussar regiment fighting on this sector have won eight hat ties and lost none against heavier and better-armed Axis tanks since ! the Libyan offensive started >n November 18. The rain poured out of the de sert sky today as I talked to the bronzed veterans, many of tihem 'just back from a scrap against much heavier German "Mark 3 and 4" tanks which pack 4 1-2 pound guns. To a man they agreed that pven though the enemy has heav ier tanks, he still is no match for the BriMsh In their speedy American tanks which have been 'christened 'Honeys'. The American tanks still have a few "bugs" In them ? but noth ing serious ? the Hussars said. Mechanically, the "Honeys" have no equal. Their purring motors ("never go wrong." o?
