(■fo our people who have been accustom ed to buying all of anything they wanted, rationing is a new experience. Contrary to the belief of some skeptics, rationing is for the protection of the peo ple. Sugar rationing is a blessing to the aver age family. Had there been no rationing, those who had plenty of money would have bought up the limited supplies of su- gar'and the average man would have been able to get none. Under rationing, every man may get his share of the available supply. Not only that, but the moonshiner will not be able to buy up sugar needed on your tables and for your home canning. Sugar rationing protects you and me. The same will hold true of other ration ing at is comes, provided it is properly ad ministered, and the calibre of the members .of rationing boards throughout the country indicates that it will be. Rationing causes much trouble and ex tra work, but when necessary in order to Assure proper distribution of essentials and to protect meager supplies it is worth far more than it costs. It is the duty of every person to cooper ate and to help in making rationing fair and equitable protection for all concerned. May 12th Hospital Day . Tuesday, May 12, is national hospital day, an observance which should call to our attention the importance of hospitals. No country is so well blessed with good hospitals as America and in this time of war hospitals should ,be appreciated as never before inf. te Md.ariidMgi^ ' 'i# ttfjSo Kota $Ko", ' : ;■ Ait4 tb®r* ■ was the man wlxo reglitered his vlfe'! and' Jl chfl- dren.

The »mo pound, at Many Will Walk One main effect of gasoline rationing, will be that many accustomed to using their automobiles every time they wanted to go a block or two will walk. The situation i.s this; Many tankers which have been shipping gasoline from Texas and Louisiana to eastern ports ha\e been put into service to supply armies in many parts of the world. In addition, the Nazi submarines have sunk many of our tankers and tanker transportation has be come very hazardous. Railroads are hard pressed to move the vast volume of war time freight. In 'Washington administrators have de clared that unessential car driving is over for the duration of the war. Those who do not use their cars in going to work and m their work will receive a very small amount of gasoline per week, just enough for a short drive or for an emergency. Those who drive their cars to work and who use their cars in their work will get just enough gasoline to drive them over the required mileage. . # That is the gasoline situation as it et- fects people all over the eastern part of the country. It will make a big difference in our daily living. _ . One other effect of gasoline rationing will be that those tires are going to last much longer, because gasoline rationing defiintely will keep your driving down to the barest minimum. holds true for the people of thousands of towns and cities throughout America. — In connection with National Hospital inches apart and Day apd ita observance, •». call your at- , tention to the following comment: Being prepared for disaster has always been part of your hospital’s everyday job. If you think back over the years, there has not been a major catastrophe . . ■ fire, hurricane, flood, or epidemic . . . that has caught the nation’s hospitals off guard. , And today—as we face the possibility of an emergency greater than any we have known in the pasL—it is reassuring to 16am that our hospitals are not merely standing by, wondering what to do about it. You will find it comforting to discover how thoroughly they have prepared for the emergency demands they may be called up to meet . . . Plans have been worked out, complete down to the last detail: There will be am ple X-ray equipment, bandage*, and other medical supplies. Doctom, nurses, and other trained personnel can be counted on to extend themselves to their utmost in car ing for the victims. Yet, planning for possible wartinae emergencies is only part of a twofold job being done today by the administrator of our hospitals . . . While preparing for what may come, they have also acted promptly and resour cefully to maintain their normal everyday efficiency in the face of new problems, and so, in an American at war, you will find that our hospitals are fully measuring up to their responsibilities—as they have always done. May 12th is National Hospital Day. This annual observance, sponsored by the American Hospital Association, is intend ed to remind you of the essential service your hospital performs . . . and how well it has prepared to continue serving your community, twenty-four hours a day, whatever happens. LIFE’S BETTER WAY WALTER E. ISENHOUR, Hiddenite, N. C. And the man who when asked the height of his youngest child held up his hands about 20 said: "He’s And the good woman who,, car ried the five sugar ration books for her family to the store and asked for two pounds of sugar. “Take out four stamps”, she told the lady merchant. The lady mer chant was one who happened to know that a stamp was good for a pound and she told the custom er that aho could buy four pounds with four stamps. “No”, she said, "they told me a half a pound and that’s all I’m going to tftke. You are not going to get me In Jail.” And there were many merch ants befuddled, bewildered and plainly disgusted with the In structions on the top of the cards furnished them by the govern ment for pasting stamps on. The Instructions, to say the least, are ridiculous. Must have been writ ten by the brainless trust. Instead of, instructing the merchant to put number 1 stamp on a card until through May 16 and num ber 2 stamp for the next two weeks, there is a conglomeration cf instructions. All of us should sincerely ap preciate what the teachers did. They registered the entire popu lation, taking several minutes of painstaking labor -with every In dividual. for which they received no pay. And we’ll venture to as sert that you didn’t even thank the teacher who filled out your card and booklet.

Sheffield of Helena, Arkansas. He raised some points on which the public is becoming more cri tical every, day. In part, he said. “My son was bom while I was m France during the first World War. Today he is a member of the United States Manne Corps ... We know he is somewhere in the Faeific. We are anxious about him. Thousands of other parents are like us. “One of my friends who is a good me- '.chanic with a family to support, went to et a job in a munitions plant.

But this man was refused a job be could get a union card. He could a union card because he did not ^ TRUST GOD The world outlook is dark today. Dark from the human point of view; For sinful men have mighty sway, While faithful Christians seem but few. rhe curse of war is in the earth, And hatred seems to be in style, "While demon forces still give birth To things more cursed all the while. But God is yet upon His throne And rules the mighty universe. And will protect and bless His own And save them from sin’s dreadful curse, And takes them safely through the clouds Of danger, darkness and despair. Then safely land them with the crowds That get to heaven sweet and fair. Then, reader dear, trust God today In spite of all the crime and sin; Look up to Christ and humbly pray That He will ever keep you in The narrow way that leads to God Where sages, saints and angels reign. And where there is no chastening rod. Nor sorrow, suffering, death nor pain. Be humble, gentle, patient, good. And live to do God’s holy will. Then walk life’s pathway as you should. And climb up manhood’s noble hill, Until you reach the summit grand, And heaveh smiles upou your face, Where you shall dwell in that fair land li v And witii the holy take your place^ jj I’ve a pretty good idea you wouldn’t part with it for anything— That’s why maintenance of the country’s 20,000,CX)0 electric refrigerators at peak efficiency throughout the War is a mat ter for concern.
