HUBBARD Publishers SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year — $1.60 Six Months - 75 Four Months — 60 Out of 'the State $2.00 per Year Entered at the post office at North Wilkes- Ihoro, North Carolina, as second class matter under Act of March 4, 1879. MONDAY, JULY 20, 1942 Successful Campaign Et'ery person who had a part in the rub ber campaign in Wilkes county deserves public congratulations for helping in that part of the war effort. Had all the counties gathered as much scrap rubber per capita as the people of Wilkes did, the. national scrap rubber pile would now be twice as great. W. J. Bason, petroleum industries chair man for Wilkes, did a fine job and accom plished very good results. He spent much time in the campaign and we would not fail to congratulate each and every ser vice station operator who purchased rub ber. Theirs %vas a real service. They put out their own money for tke rubber and are to be reimbursed. But practically all of them will suffer small financial losses due to va rious causes. We knew -all along that Wilkes people do not fail to answer patriotic calls, and we sincerely wish that all the people of the nation were as willing to do their part as are the people of this grand old county. Ever since colonial days the people who inhabited this part of the country have 'XailiM to the cause of freedom, and they Ai*e ready now to serve the nation in what ever capacity they are able. present 'biflatioil 8horUge of dofSumer^goods and * il'ein ^ ^ous Increase'in the amountrbf h»oney paid out in wages. • V For the'time being, we have stopped; making automobiles, refrigerators, , bicy cles and other useful,' peacetime products that wfe could buy’and use any time, and have concentrated on the production of warplanes, tanks, guns, bombs and other things that are useful only in wartime. We havte stopped making the things we wan' and are making the things we must have to win the war. Thousands of formerly unemployed flow have jobs. Added thousands are making more money than they ever made before. So, with more money in their pockets to spend and less to spend it on, either the value of money is reduced or the yalue^ of the goods has increased way—the result is the same, mean inflation to the man in the streetV mk WU4KT3 PS FIGHTINO MA® Thl8 time we depart Irom the absurd to reprint something which we believe needs printing In the Interest of national wellbeing. > It Is an article written by Wal ter J, Weir, of Lord Thomas, In New York, and It goes Hke this: Don't get me wrong-r—I’m not trying to pose as an expert on moulding public opinion.

Second Front As this is written, the people of Great Britain are clamoring for a second front in Europe and the Gallup poll says the American public also favors that course in the war. Millions have been disappointed that England and the United States, and par ticularly England, have not started a sec ond front against Germany in order to re lieve Russia, the nation that so far in this war has done the major part of the fight ing against the a.xis armies. Americans, particularly, feel badly about what looks like letting an ally down. We have been furnishing Russia enormous quantities of war materials. However val uable the materials may be, materials are at the most nothing but material sacrifices, and since our materials can be made in auch great quantities, it is hardly consider ed a sacrifice at all. And while we get impatient and clamor for certain actions, .'=uch as opening of a western front in Europe, we must bear in mind that we know very little about the situation. And we must rememoer that the war council of the United Nations necessa rily cannot reveal their plans. Perhaps we have definite plans for an immediate .second front. Or it may be that the United Nations powers have something even better in mind. We must trust our leadership and their ability to do the right thing at the right time. After all, the side in this war which wins the last battle will have the final and com plete victory. At the beginning of the war it was ru mored that the former Kaiser sent v/ord to Hitler that he was getting into a very dan gerous undertaking, that he might win bat tle after battle but that he would lose the last battle, the deciding one of the war. everyone else. Inflation is just as simple as that and just as dangerous. That is why the manufacturers of the country are so in terested in combatting' it. Borrowed Comment FULL STORY *OF MIDWAY (Washington Times Herald) The Navy released for yesterday’s pa pers the detailed story and the great battle of Midway June 3-6, 1942 I ■want to be told—Tiot to re member Pearl Harbor, but to blast Tokyo, to bomb Berlin and to take Ro.ne. I want to be -told—not to do final score of part to keep Nazism and Fasc ism from these snores. I wont to be toid to do my part to spread It wat a great battle, aad a great victory for us. 'We lost 92 officers, 215 enlisted men, one destroyer sunk, and one aircraft carri er put out of commission. The Japanese lost 4,800 men killed or drowned, four air craft carriers sunk, two heavy cruisers sunk and three others damaged, three de stroyers sunk, at least one transport dam aged, three battleships damaged (one se verely), and an estimated 275 aircraft de- .stroyed or lost at sea. The misfortunes of the battleships in this fight, and their apparent failure to strike any telling blows, added to the evidence that the battleship is on its way out. The Japanese aircraft carrier Hiryu and the U. 3. aircraft carrier Yorktown wounded each other by means of their planes, the anew the high vulnerability of aii craft carriers. In this and other respects the Midway engagement underlined the advantage which land-based bombers have over car rier-based planes. That in turn underlies the extreme urgency of our holding onto all the islands that can be used as aircraft bases of any kind—our Aleutian Islands, for one example—ajid of taking more of siich islands. It also furnishes a warning that when we set ourselves to taking assorted Japa nese held islands we.st of Hawaii, our sea and fighting men will have the problem of overcoming the same initial enemy advan tage which the Japane.se failed to over come at Midway. The Midway victory, too, went to sub- .stantiate various eminent airmen’s pre Pearl Harbor assertions that the U. S mainland guarded by enough bombers and fighter planes, would be impregnable to invasion. We were again a|t a loss, in reading the exciting Midway story, to understand wh> army. Navy and Marine Corps planes have been operating under separate com mands 'Fhese planes and their superb crews were what brought in the victory. Would- cern In Bethel, reports E.

Inflation -(in 1-cylinder words) Inflation, as described in the dictionary, is a disproportionate and relatively sharp and sudden increase in the quantity of money or credit, or both, relative to the amount of exchange business. In accor dance'with the law of quantity theory of jaoney, inflation always produces a rise in CUrOIBBRS Thirteen acres of cucumbers have'been harvested in the Seven n’t it be more efficient to have these planes paths community of Franklin functioning in a unified air force under its county and^sold to ajirt'e^con own air-minded and air-trained command? Anyway, congratulations to the daunt less fighting men who scored this victory for the United States. If the Army and Na vy commands on Hawaii, or'either of them, had been as wide awake last December 7 as were all hands concerned at Midway June 3-6, the Japanese might have been set back on their ears that much sooner, and the whole story of the pacific war since December 7 might have been differr ent.
