MONDAY, FEB. 1, 1943 Re'd Cross Active The American Red Cross, always a val uable organization, is living up to its name in the multiple duties which the war has placed on its doorsteps. The Red Cross is the liaison organiza tion between the armed forces and the ' people. There are duties in this connec tion too numerous to mention. The Red Cross must investigate needs for emergency furloughs when requested by soldiers or for soldiers by relatives. The Red Cross is called upon to investi gate requests for allotments from soldiers pay, and must hear many a tale of woe from relatives who try to get discharges for men in the armed forces. In addition to the- service end of the or ganization, the Red Cross is very active in producing things which men in the armed forces need and which are not furnished by government issue. Local women have been sewing and knitting for the Red Cross for several months and the demand for products grows as more men are sent overseas.' V/e mention these things to inform the people pf what the Red Cross is doing and to urge them to support the Red Cross with funds or services as requested. Bigf Money The world’s largest war budj^et recently presented to the new Congress, represents about three times the amount of money spent by this country during the first World War and a greater amount than the total all the other belligerants are spending. The only rea.son the war budget is not bigger, according to Washington offi cials. is because it represents the largest sum which the experts believe can be spent in a year in spite of the three hun dred per cent increase in our war produc tion capacity since the bombing of Pearl Harbor. American industry, having already en abled the armed forces to turn the tables on the'aggressor nations, now undertakes a tremendously increased .schedule of pro duction —a program that stagger.s the imagination of the .A.xis powers and will .strain every fibre of our manufacturing facilities. Under such condition.s, industry mu.st be free to use all its immense resources un hampered—free of all unnecessary red tape, free of restrictive legislation, free of labor complications—free to exercise all the initiative and ingenuity that have en abled this nation to become a dominant factor in a global war in the short period of twelve months. Serious Undertaking As the new year opens, statisticians, ex- >rts and housewives agree on one fact, fie cost of living is rising ominously, ries for inflation controls grow louder, he “easy” way of paying for war by linless borrowing is beginning to hurt, he best possible inflation control is tax- ion This control has not been applied fectively to increased salaries. An additional inflation control is direct je of war bonds to the people.

S. supply, have been particularly important to Russia,which has lost most )f its richest wheat-producing areas to the iN^azi invaders. ^ V Services rendered by the United States to our allies under Lend-Lease constitute about one-fifth of the total value of Lend- Lease aid, and about 50 per cent of these expenditures was for shipping and supply service. Under Lend-Lease arrangements, Aus tralia is supplying milk, beef, pork, lamb, fresh applas, oranges, grapes, and banan as for United States Army mess tables, wool and cotton uniforms for American soldiers and nurses, field rations, canned meats and vegetables, and “D” ration chocolates. V Supplies 01 dered. through Lend-Lease or. direct purchase, aggregating almost 2\i million tons, have been shipped from the U. S. direct to the Soviet Union, some of them traveling ocean distances of 10,000 to 13,000 miles, but because of submarine attacks not all cargoes have been deliv ered. LIFE’S BETTER WAY WALTER E.

Jr. January 10, 1943. ■V C., tnis is having c‘ of said di the und' C., on Radical News Of Interest Mr. Oscar Teague, of Pageton, West Virginia, spent last week end with his porents, Mr. and Mrs. YOUR IDEAL Multitude.s of people have in mind and heart some life and character that they look to as an ideal which they desire to follow. It may be an inventor, an author, a pugilist, a ball player, a lawyer, an ora tor, a poet, a doctor, a preacher, an ex plorer, a banker, a singer, a movie star, an air pilot, a general, a politician, n statesman, a millionaire, a president, a ruler, etc. It can be any of these charac ters, or .someone else. There is one thing every one should do, and that is to never view a character as ideal that is sinful and wicked, regardles.s of the place he fills in life. If one has achieved worldly honor and recognition, and has ri.sen to great fame and renown in the eyes of the world, yet has lived an evil life, and has done the world more harm than good, certainly it is not advisa ble to make such a man your id%al char acter whom you wish to follow as a pat tern, model and example which you de- ■sire to measure up to, or excel, in his line of business. If he has done the world more harm than good, then realize that he is not a safe and worthy character to fol low. You will Jikewise do more harm than good, therefore your life will curse the world rather than bless mankind, and you will leave an influence behind that shall live on as a curse when you are gone. Never follow anyone who is wrong. He may be rich, popular, intelligent, learned, influential, and may be lauded by the world, but look at the harm he may do mankind. He may be a destroyer of life rather than a conserver. He may damn souls instead of win them to Christ. In fact he will. It is never, NEVER safe to follow any character that leads in the wrong direction, and there are plenty of them whom millions of people applaud and follow after, or at least come under their influence. Whoever lives the wrong life, is engaged in the wrong business and leads in the wrong direction is absolutely unsafe to follow. Many, many of our young people look to movie stars as their ideal characters, but the fact of the mat ter is they are almost all fallen stars, therefore are unsafe to follow. Realize that you eannot afford to follow any char acter who follows the devil, but follow those who 4ruly follow the Loid. . D. R.
