Et means that ail the people and all the reaources are pledged to the successful pttteecution cf the war until the nation’s eaemies are subdued. It means that every person will have •ome part in carrying the war to a success ful conclusion and that every part is im portant, although some may seem insignifi cant. It is not enough to wave a flag and wish the fighting men well. It means rolling up our sleeves and going to work on whatever we can do to help win the war, regardless of the personal inconveniences which may result from such participation. The salvage task is one of great impor tance. This country is by far the most powerful in resources of any on the globe. Yet those resources cannot win unless put to work by human hands. The fact that we have more steel than any other country will mean nothing if that atoel is scattered throughout every com munity in the nation. That steel must be gathered up, salvaged and used in the war industries. The same is true about copper, tin, zinc, nickel and some other metals. In getting that material collected and marketed there is an opportunity for every man, Woman and child to serve his country. Collecting and selling the metals is a small task, compared to that of the fighting man. If our sons, brothers and friends can face guns, tank.s, planes, rifles and all the other horrible machines of war, wh> can not we, in the comparative safety and se curity of our own communities, do the amiple tasks which will help those fighting men to victory ? The lack of a single plane at some place at some time may mean the difference be tween victory and defeat. The lack of one ]dane could mean the destruction of many of our brave fighting men. The lack of one plane could be the re mit of not enough aluminum or some oth er vital metal and that needed aluminum may be tied up in old pots and pans, or mo- tol block heads, scattered all over ihe country. A county salvage committee has been or ganized for the purpose of collecting scrap metals. Now what is needed is for all the people in this county to rally behind the committee and do the job of salvaging met-' mis thoroughly and completely. America is going to need the combined efforts of all. So far, there has been very little sacrifice except on the part of fight ing men. Except for the fighting men, the peo ple have a “gimme” complex which they must abandon. The “gimme” attitude must be convert ed into a desire to serve and to sacrifice if nece.ssary for the benefit of the nation. Everything the civilian population has been called on to do is so easy that there ehould be no shirking. Get Ready! If this country is attacked, a start will & nadoubtedly be made with incendiary F bombs.

(iJy George Matthew Adams In Ford News) Peace is the most precious possession in this world. That’s why it’s worth fighting for—with all that we possess. The American ideal of peace, however, embodies under the Stars andP Stripes, its great Constitution of a Republican form of government in a democratic state,'^backed by its priceless Bill of Rights and its tra ditional way of life—opportunity for all and protection to all. The challenge to the further existence of all this has been made iii the most ruth less manner. And the challenge has been accepted. Uncle Sam rolls ’em up—and all America rolls ’em up. It is f6r the “duration”—for Victory! It is tragic that such liberties as Ameri ca ha.s enjoyed for so long have to defend with its blood and iron—but the fact re mains that in this imperfect world it hasj to be done. And it will bt: done. America is united. America is awake, alert and de termined. No other Nation has such a precious heritage to defend, and for which to fight. Lingering down the years is the echo of that matchless clarion call of Patrick Hen ry, delivered in St. John’s Church in Rich mond, in 1775. I quote but a single sen timent, but every American should read it again. Said this great patriot: “There is no longer room for hope. If we wish to be free—if we meafi to preserve inviolate tho.se inestimable privileges for which wo have been .so long contending - if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in w-hich we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon, until the glorious object of our (Irivea home anew to many Amer icans the .basic truth to many Americans that coAseri-aMon and wise nne of cmr Teaonrees mast go hhha 'ta' hsjvi with prodactioh and lighting ' in our countty s victory program.

Just ask him which he had rather see: rationing for his own sutomobile or for the tanks. planes and armored cars of America’s armed forces. To bene Gas Coupons The rationing will -he accom plished by a rigid coupon sy®- tem, according to Petroleum Co ordinator Harold .Ickes. He de clined last week to say Just how much the gallonage of the aver, age motorist might be cut, but he made the point that individ uals would be classified accord ing to their needs, The actual rationing will begin as soon as the millions of cards can he printed, which probably will be in about six weeks. Price ceilings fixed by the OPA were for a 60-day period, after which there may be changes. Meanwhile, filling shUions are being required by the war pro duction board to confine their opera'Ions to 72 hours a week. Many stations are complying with the order by remaining open 12 hours a day, six days a week. Joel Dean. Industrial engineer end assistant professor at the school of business of the Dnl- versity of Chicago, will serve rs chief of gasoline rationing for the OPA.

Farmers Will Select AAA Committeemen Preparations for electing addi tinnal Agricultural Adju,?tment Administration community coni- mlfeemen are going forward Ir practically every county of thf strte, according to G. T. Scott chairman ■ of the State AAA Com mi'tee. Elections In all counties- must be completed by April 15. Mr. Scott said the elections are being held following redls- trlctlng ot the state ‘o alter AAA community 'boundaries to in clude approximately 150 farms, and in no case more then 200 farms. In some erses, he said the communities already include 200 or less farms; and *hese boundaries have not been chan, ged. Where boundaries have been altered farmer-vOters will elect three regulir committeemen and two alternates. This step hrs been taken a’ this time to facilitate the admin Istrative dutiei of the commnni- y committeemen," he said.“With the current shortage of transpor tation and labor, it Is nece6Sar.v ^ that committeemen be able to | con'act farmers in their comrau i nltles with greater efficiency hut with le^s trsvel." He declared the community committeemen would be charged with greater reaponsibili ies un der the new plan, and at the same t'™« would be eble to he away from their own farms for shorter periods of time. Chairman Scott declared 'his will be the only election of com mitteemen to be held In 1942. and urged farmers to select com mitteemen who rre willing to aceep’ the added responsltlllte*. Following the election of com mitteemen. county conventions I will be held for the purpose of i electing county AAA committees. These are composed of a chair man, a vice-chairman, a third regular member, and two alter- nateti. The county committee, in : turn, elects its secretary and treasurer. | The new building, built by the Red Croi58 at a cost of $20,00D, is of modern brick and concrete construction. Mr. Cramer sta'ed that all construction Is paid for out of funds earmarked in wills and donations for such constru v tion, and money donated for re lief of suffering is never used in building.
