But it is a sad fact that notwithstanding ' the war and the dire threat by a combina tion of evil forces to freedom for any of the human race, millions of Americans still have the gimmes. There is just one proper way for Ameri ca to prosecute the war. And that is for every grroup and individual who make up our nation to put victory ahead of all oth er objectives, to sacrifice whatever need be for the successful prosecution of the war and complete victory at the earliest possible date. Selfishness and greed are too'apparent. There remain too many wno would have something sliced off the war effort in or der that their gimmes be satisfied. Congressmen by accepting X gasoline cards said in effect: Gimme all the gaso line I .vant. Rationing is for somebody else. The REA, the CCC, the NYA and other bureaus say gimme funds, gimme tools, gimme materials. Pork barrel legislatqrs say gimme this and gimme that for my district, paying lit tle attention to the need for the funds and materials for war work. Able young men say gimme deferments, the draft was made for somebody else. Labor unions say gimme more double time pay or we quit, caring not what the consequence of lost production may be. For lack of naval strength axis subma rines are sinking ships as fast as our ship yards, handicapped by lack of steel, can J)Ulld them. Still we have people who say gimme, or let me get, products made of steel, or projects in ^.vhich substantial amounts of steel would be used. The Japanese mass a major force for at tack on our possessions or our mainland. ■With our fighting forces still in the forma tive stage and lacking all the equipment which they need, we .still have people who say “gimme.” With millions of pounds of sugar needed in manufacture of ammunition, there are chislers who incorrectly report the amount of sugar they have on hand. They have the gimmes bad. Thank God, the majority of the Ameri can people do not have the gimmes and patriotism remains the rule rather than the exception. If all the people had the gim mes, the country wouldn’t be worth saving. )T$ and Rftprelentative* makes blot^ boil. ing exwnpte of p4^il OThis gasoline ^rab is Jeged ofticialis&a ing the co&mdo peo^e fo m&ke sacrifices ;ask- which the offtceholders do netri^h ^ share. - It^^ high.that pur |rbwi^ ar my WjpubMc sl^ante, Which is acquirlnW more and more special prlvttegwi, was back Oh its heels and made to eat the same Iff!

When the government draws upon these deposits to pay for the gopds and^ services' it buys, the purchasing power of those to whom these payments are made is increased without any decrease in the pur chasing power of those from money is borrowed.” Increased purchasing power combined with a decreased supply of goods is the certain road to disastrous inflation. The government wants you to buy bonds with every nickle you can spare—and it wants you to deny yourselves luxuries so you can buy more. No man can make a better pur chase than the securities which buy wea pons to fight the Axis. flanee bad...’et^r iMUdiaaTthlBg about onoe baMg tff beTi J^4 ii&» fepltod that tin oaly Wik^a * h.#^ erw made^df : ,^tberiUot4«at ihfia that tharo^dutaoplbiiDt 1ft his life |hat he arau'ial^Bied of.

She (jumping up) — It’s my husband. You must leave at once. Oh hurry! Please hurry! The young man looked around nervously. He—But how am I going to leave? 1 can’t go out by the door.

South 72 de grees West 16 poles to a maple; Eat The Same Bread No country on earth has as many auto mobiles per,capita as the United States. In no countn' is the automobile such a neces sity in the daily life of the people. We have used it so universally that steam and electric railroads long ago discontinued the bulk of their interurban service throughout the country, and interurban tracks have been generally abandoned and torn up. Now, as a war necessity, people are requir ed to give up, to a large extent, this basic means of transportation. When gasoline rationing went into ef fect, many Congressmen and Senators who regulate the acts of private citizens, signed up for “X” cards giving them unlimited amounts of gas, on the theory that their driving was essential to national defense. Probably nowhere else in the world is a private car foi'public official less needed n-than in Washington, D. C., where taxicabs jire as thick as flees on 4 dog’s back and :nrtes are the lowest. Most Congressmen and Senators live in apartment houses and Iliotels where it is mnre advantageous to nae a taxicab than a private car. Writin# on this situation, Rayniond Olapper says; “?1ie attitude of these ^n- GOLDREN OPPORTUNITIES There are so many golden opportunities in life to do good until no one can afford to live a sinful, wicked life and come to death’s door a failure. Failure only comes by neglecting the good things of life—life’s golden opportunities—and by accepting the bad things that present themselves all along the way. Just as God gives men golden opportunities to do good, to live righteous, godly, noble and great, just so the devil gives men opportunities to live sinful, wicked and mean, and make of life a failure, and wield an influence that may help others to fail. God’s golden opportunities, which He offers us all along life’s pathway, come, from above, and always lead upward, and lead to great success; while the opportuni ties which the devil offers to do evil come from beneath, and always lead downward, and lead to failure and final, eternal de feat. It is to be greatly deplored that any 63i;grees"Wesr27-poles tJ man will neglect life S golden opportuni- dogwood; South 70 degrees West tie,, or reject them, and then turn ‘0 the devil and accept him and what he offers. on top of the mountain Life is too short to be wasted, God’s op- >E"as\‘*®7 JoTes^"o'a wS portunities are too precious and priceless 27 degrees East 24 poles to a dog- to be neglected or rejected, while eternity North 25 decrees East on J. is too long to squander life here in the ser vice of the devil, and take the road he pre sents, with its allurements to do evil, and when it is too late ^lave to realize that one has wrecked himself and failed forever. The saddest thing that can befall any hu man is to realize that he has misspent life, and that if can’t be recalled and lived over again. " - ' The greatest and most priceless oppor tunity that can possibly come to mortal man is to become a Christian and follow in the footprints of Jesus from earth to glory. This is God’s highest opportunity offered man. In accepting or rejecting this opportunity we make or mar life. We ri.se or fatl, succeed or fail. All real and glo rious success comes by accepting Chiist and living a genuine Christian life, while all real failure comes by neglecting to ac cept Christ, or wilfully rejecting Him, then going forth, to live in sin. God gives us so many golden opportunities along life’s pathway to do good, and live nobly if we will live for Him and do His will, until no one can afford to liv© iil sin and serve the devil. It’s better way is to always accept God’s golden opportunities. £.1 A.-X o wood; North 25 degrees Blast on J. C. Vannoy’s line 23 poles to a dogwood and hickory! East on an agreed lin^with J. C.
