THURSDAY, AUG, 27, 1942 Tax Pa5rment Reminder This is just a reminder to any who have not paid their county and town taxes for the year 1941. Real estate on which taxes lave not been paid for last year is being advertised and will be sold in a few' days. Payment of the taxes now' will save addi tional costs. And tho.se who owe personal taxes will save money and embarassment by paying now before wages are garnisheed and personal property is levied on for taxes. Save That Food Maybe you have canned, dried or other wise saved all the food your family can use in those lines during the coming year, but that does not relea.se you from the re sponsibility to save all the food you have. America needs food as never before. Tir addition to supplying our own needs we are furnishing food to millions abroad in order that they might carry on their part of the war again.st the axis effectively. That which you can save to eat in your ow'n home, for a neighbor or to sell to the store means that much food from com mercial prducers can go abroad. Can all you can, and when you have done that, turn your attention to drying. Several foods can be kept by drying. Very little food value is lost by drying and the precious vitamin contents are not destroy ed. Dried fruits are good food, and dried beans (leather-britches) with onions, pick les or slaw make a good supplement to anv winter meal. Making Brilliant Record As this war progresses, we have more reason to be proud of the patriotism of Wilkes people, and the part the noble sons of Wilkes are playing in the greate.st struggle for freedom the world has ever known. Not only are Wilkes men taking their honorable places in combat, but the county as usual is furnishing some of the military and naval leaders. Topping the li.st of high positions held by native sons of Wilkes is Admiral Percy Foote, who has returned to duty in the navy. Also in the navy we have Lt. Com mander Ernest M. Eller, who has been seeing plenty of service w'ith the Pacific fleet, and Lt. Commander J. H. McNeill, w'ho is in the naval medical corps. And in the navy we have ensign.s, pilots and n long list of high ranking enlisted per sonnel. In the army we have Major Ralph R. Reins at Camp Sutton, Major F. C. Hub bard in the army medical corps. Captain John R. Bumgarner in the medical corp.s. Captain E. P. Robinson, Captain Edwanl Finley, several lieutenants and a large number of top ranking non-commissioned officers. And we have the buck privates, the privates first class, and seamen from ap prentices on up who are going to help car ry the banner high and to write another chapter in the glorious record of military achievements by the sons of Wilkes. Davis vs. The Army le following editorial, with which a )rity of editors will agree, appeared in cent issue of Collier’s: the running fight between Director of Infonnation Elmer Davis and assort- enerals and admirals, we’re for Davis, hope he may succeed in loosening up ; of the fighting men’s lock jawed se- y regarding such things as the trial of first bag of eight German spies, e realize the necessity for caution in i matters.

Such an ideal is impractical and dan gerous, especially in a democracy. *As Mr. Davis says, “This is a people's- war, and to win it the people should know as,much about it as they fean,” And the only prop er test for censorship to apply is: Will a given piece of war information actively help the enemy if released? H it will, suppibss it; if it won’t, release it. These eight spies were nailed by the FBI, and exciting stories about the round up were given out. The public had its mouth set for a thrilling trial, with plenty of lurid details that could be safely pub lished, and with testimony of actual value to the enemy withheld. It could have been arranged. Instead, we were given an exhibition of army secrecy which would have been nor mal, everyday stuff in Germany, Italy or Japan, but which did not sit well with Americans.
