MONDAY, JULY 6th, 1942 Retailers For Victory During the entire month of July, a “Re tailers for Victory” campaign will take place. The purpose is to give War Bonds and Stamps the biggest promotional push ever extended to any cause by American retailing. The Treasury believes that from July on, 61,000,000,000 worth of War Stamps and Bonds can be sold each month, on a purely voluntary basis. American retail ing is expected to make up a large propor tion of the total sales. As the Bulletin puts it, “Objective of this month-long campaign will be to push Bonds and Stamps so hard through window and inside store displays, through salutes and messages in news paper advertising and radio programs, through expanded efforts to sell Bonds and Stamps to employes and to stimulate these employes, in turn, to sell at least Stamps to consumers that, as a result, each retailer will sell Bonds and Stamps aggregating as close to foijir per cent of stores sales during July as possible.” July will simply mark the start of this gigantic endeavor. Each month thereaf ter, for the duration, retailers will continue to promote Bonds and Stamps, advertise Bonds and Stamps and sell Bonds and Stamps. And every store will be doing it without a cent of profit to itself. This campaign is your campaign—^it is part of the job of financing a war for your freedom and your very existence. .When you shop, take all or part of your change in Stamps. Buy as many Bonds as you possibly can. Each sale made means more bullets, planes and ships to fight the ene- War Medicine American medicine is taking the lead in developing techniques for lessening the suffering and the mortality that war pro duces. All over the world, American doctors, , both within and without the military for'ccs. are studying wounds and disea.se. New drugs and medicines are being tested. New methods of healing are being tried. Ami already, some signal achievements have taken place. American doctors on Bataan, for instance, finding themselves lacking certain vital supplies, experimented with a new treatment to prevent fatal infections in terribly wounded men—and they suc ceeded. Whatever can be done to alleviate in any degree the horrors of war is a boon to mankind, and to a suffering and bleeding world. And it is only to be expected that American doctors are at the forefront in war medicine. The American doctor is an individual, not a regimented creature of the state. He has had the finest possible schooling and training. He is aggresively progressive. And today, all his skill, all his knowledge, and all his abilities, are ur- -gently needed. . . Many great medical discoveries will, in all probability, come out of this war. These discoveries will be the means of saving hundreds of thousands of precious lives, and alleviating the agony of the wounded. American medicine has gone to war—not to kill, but to save; not to destroy, but to aid and succor humanity. An Army Of Snoopers The Office of Price Adminstration re cently asked Congress for a very large ap propriation to add some 100,000 new em ployes mostly enforcement personnel, to the OPA payroll.

The best things in life, and in eternity, are upward and above. We think of God as being above and over us, although His presence ever\‘where. When Christ left thi.s IS earth He went up. God calls to us from above, and He calls us to all that is good, high, ennobling and holy. To heed the call of God and live the Christian life mean.s that we rise and climb upward in faith, love, godliness, purity and holiness. l»his is life’s better way. God calls men to repentence, and that is an upwaid Coward from sin and wickedness, upward automobiles collided at the in- Lpwaru uuui nnward tersection of two main highway.s from meanness and selfishness, from the old paths of evil, degredation and] addition to the two tires ruin The call is upward from the quag- bursted beyond hope of repair. ntire of, wickedness that drags men down *':;;'Vd;'d:magerb"' to defeat, despair and damnation.

NEWS STORY IN l»4.'l These da.vs it is not "How are you? ’, but “How are your tires’’. Before long it may be we will be writing news storien like this: Two I ires, were completely de molished this morning when two Institutional users, such as res taurants and hospitals, will re ceive 75 per cent of their normal needs, instead of the 50 per cent as regularly allowed. Industrial usfrs will receive 80, rather than 70 per cent of normal. These users will receive their extra authorizations when they apply for their regular allotment for use in September and October, which they may do on and after August 15.

MOST important in the Hralth-For- Victory program are balanced diet and the proper preparatipn of food so nutritive qualities will be retained. Thousands of Carolinas house wives are well prepared to meet this demand because they have the help of vitamtted Electric cooking which retains the essential vitamins and minerals in food. Use your electric range wisely to contribute to health, prevent waste, and con- serve time and energy. sDUKE POWER GD.^ j HOURS 9 to 5 NINTH STREET lead on the downward road to ruin. It is upward from hell beneath. The call of God is upward to holiness, and upward to Heaven. 'The Apostle Paul says: “For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.” (I Thess. 4:7). Holi- ne.ss leads to all things good, commendable and worth while in this life and world, al so in the life and world beyond. Hear Paul’s testimony: “Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark (or goal) for ihe prize of the high calling (or upward call ing) of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:13,14). Paul realized the call of God as upward, therefore he resolved to press t upward toward the goal for the prize. The final goal is Heaven, and the prize is eter-| nal life. Hallelujah! Hear Paul’s last tes timony before he wasi beheaded by.the wicked Nero: „ “For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished by"course, I have kept the faith; henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, bu’.“ unto all them also that love his appearing.” (II Tim. 4:6-8). All who heed the upward call of God, and follow in the footsteps of Jesus all the way, shall be forever blessed. God cares for theip here, then receives them unto Him self hereafter where they shall live forever in peace, joy and happiness. Oh, that all men would heed God’s upward call! Why not? It is'the greatest, highest, grandest and most glorious call that ever comes the hospital, wher-e its condition will he clas.sed as critical pending further examination. Of pirticular interest was the statement by a tube specialist that one of the tubes in the tire which was bur»ted on the car go ing south may be repaired for further use if enough tube patch ing can be obtained. Officers employed two guards with ’sub-machine guns to.fy te keep the remaining tires on the wrecked automobiles from teing stolen. Inciden’ally, the driver of the car traveling north was killed and two occupants of the other car were badly hurt. In the haste to ascertain the extent of (ire and tube casualties, the names of the killed and in jured people were not learned oy inveetigating officers. . Bike Rationing Is Effective On July 9th Washington. — The office of price administration ordered rat ioning of bicycles, effective July 9, in a move to make certain the limited supply reaches most es sential users.
