How Much la Your Effort?-
We read and hear much about the war
effort, but few people want to bring the
sabject home to themselves and analyze
how much is their individual effort toward
winning the war. . j - •
And often it is the case that an indivi
dual thinks of the war effort only in terms
of what men in the armed forces can do.
For every man on the front, there raus;,
be at least ten backing him up with what
^ With a shortage of labor in almost every
phase of the war program, there remain
people who are idle and working at noth-
ing. .
When these people are offered jobs,
they either fail to report or work only a
few days.
To help in the war effort, it is not neces
sary every time to go to a bomber plant in
a distant town. Often there is vital work
at home.
We say this not to discourage those who
have gone to points where they believe
they can do the most for the war effort,
but to point out that any useful and neces
sary work is helpful to the war effort.
Materials for civilians as well as mili
tary use must be made and bandied in or
der to keep up the civilian economy, which
in turn supports the war.
If you cannot go away to work in a vital
war industry, you can work at or near
your home in something useful, and every
person, rich or poor, should go to w^ork at
something useful.
It is easy to sit in an easy chair or some
loafing place and cuss John L. Lewis and
the mine workers for going on strike, a
pastime which many of us have enjoyed.
But at the same time we should analyze
our individual w’ar effort and see if we are
doing something useful. If you are, and
are doing your part, well and good. K
not, it is time to get busy.
It would be too great a job to list all the
things which persons can find to do. Let
us sum it up by saying that if you are not
doing something useful to the war effort,
it is time to begin. And this applies to the
person who does not need to work to earn
money just as it does to the person who
does not have the means to provide the
next meal. We are all in the same boat as
far as the war is concerned. We either win
or lose, and to lose means to lose all.
Autos speeding Up—
Every day millions of motorists are go
ing back on their word, breaking a promise
to which they signed their names.
One of the requirement to secure gaso
line, tires or tire recapping service is to
agree not to operate automobiles in excess
of the national speed limit of 35 miles per
hour.
With the coming of spring weather ami
relaxations on the rules and regulations
which govern the rationing of tires, a great
majority of motorists have yielded to the
urge to step on the gas.
It is not unusual now to get several mile-
from town on a good highway and find
cars making 50 to 60 miles per hour. Oc
casionally, one comes along making still
higher speed.
That is definitely a bad sign. It means
that precious rubber is being wasted and
it means that gasoline is also being wasted,
gasoline which men risk their lives to get
around the coast from the Gulf of Mexico.
And high speeds on cars nqw is definite
ly dangerous. A majority of the cars have
recapped tires or new “war tires.” Rub
ber in and on tUode tires is not what rub
ber. wd"to be, and many tire failures,
some of which cause serious accidents, are
the result.
With) recapped tires or new “war

Tomorrow May Be Too Late—
How often the expression is heard to
day: “Be careful! You can’t replace it.”
that warning has been applied to every
thing from pins to tractors. Never was the
American public so waste conscious. Yet,
in one vital respect it is still far too care
less. That respect is fire. Millions of dol
lars worth of properly and thousands, of
lives are lost annually by preventable^fires.
It is an ironical fact that the man who
cares for his car like an only child, will
very, often not hesitate to leave that car in
a garage alive with fire hazards. And the
housewife who guards with similar dili
gence the welfare of the electric range or
refrigerator, will blithely disregard the
commonest fire hazards such as frayed
wiring, trash in the attic, open fireplaces
and carelessly strewn matches.
Fire can wipe out a home and every “ir
replaceable ” object in it in a matter of
minutes. Some of those irreplaceable ob
jects may be human lives. Of the 10,000
persons who were burned to death in the
United States in 1941, two-thirds perished
in homes.
Fire prevention, like charity, should
start at home and spread in widening cir
cles until each person is doing his utmost
to prevent destructive fire anywhere in his
community. Fire department officals are
only too glad to point out potential haz
ards to the uninformed.
Start now to protect your irreplaceables”
against fire. TernorrOw-may be tco late.

ITS TIME TO GET TOUGH
(Reidsville Review)
Let’s get tough. Let’.s fill our place, fill
it without a growl, and keep it until vic
tory is ours. Let us get into this diabolical
mess up to our ears, with an iron will and
nerves of steel, firmly resolving to do our
part no matter where fate has placed us.
This is no time for side-stepping; it is .h
time for each American to fight his hard-
e.st for the common cause.
The cut-throats are still on a rampage.
The man made his dare, and we took it. He
wanted war. We were kicked into this war
against our will. We shall give him war WfBhinBton. to spend a jew days

Four Frazier Brothers
In The Service
CpI. Howard Frasier recently
returned to his post of duty after
visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
J. L. Frasier, of North Wllkes-
boro route one. Cpl. Frazier had
been in the South Pnciflc area
and became ill, after which he
spent some time la a hospital in
California. Three of his brothers
are stationed as follows: Pvt.
James L. Frasier somewhere in
New Ouinee.; Pfc. Robert D. Fra
zier at Camp Bowie, Texas; Pvt.
Wayne Frazier at Fort Leonard
Wood, Mo.

Pfc. Ernest Eller, of Camp

ler, of Purlear.

Ci^^H|le, Colorado, has been

ery, of Wllkesboro route one. Pvt.
McGlamery, who receives The
Journal-Patriot regularly, says he

Pvt. Coy McGlamery. is stationed

Pvt. Clarence Brown
Transferred
Pvt. Clarence Brown has been
moved from Seymour Johnson
Field, N. C., to a desert camp in
New Mexico. While traveling from
this state to New Mexico he was
transferred from the Signal Corps
to 0 Bomber Squadron.
Pvt. Donald McDiarmid
Flies Home
Pvt. Donald McDiarmid arrived
todiay from Ft. George Wright,
when his hordes are back in their own
land.s, there to reap the harvest of de.struc-
tion and deva.station which their own ra
ping invited.
Murder, starvation, torture, assault, pil
lage, robbery, rape and all the rest of
their barbarous crimes—that is our busi
ness and we shall .settle the account this
time according to our terms.
Let’s be tough, quit whining, and back
up this fight in every way.
If the sugar bowl is empty, sing the dox-
ology. If you have to eat stew instead of
steak, whistle “The Star Spangled Ban
ner”. If you are without coffee, say a
prayer of gratitude that you can sacrifice
that much coffee for those who are pour
ing out their blood for you.
Many people are held in the clutch of •
famine. Millions go hungry every day.
Countless numbers are dying in prison
camps, pulling the ball and chain, or
groaning finder the cruel lash of the beasts
in human form. Thank God America
still free from such hideous tortures.
Let us show our gratitude, our mettle,
our ability to fight the enemies of man
kind. Let’s be tough in a manner never
known before. The day of reckoning is
coming, the crimes against humanity will
be avenged. Until that victorious hour
strikes, let’s be tou^ in our determination
to do our paH, whether it be on battle-
front or homo^ front.
