THURSDAY, NOV. 9,1944 Election Passes Our nation has just gone through a heat ed political campaign and election. As this is written on election day while citizens of America are exercizing their privilege of rule by ballot, we cannot know the outcome of the election, either lo cally or nationally, at present. But we do know this: That regardless of the results of the election, this is still America, the'grandest and greatest coun try on earth, and that America can and will go forward in its mighty tasks. We do not know at the time this is writ ten who will win the presidential race, and by the time this reaches tue reader, the re sults in all probability will be known. What we are trying to emphasize is that our nation, under God, will go forward to final and complete victory in this war and to a durable peace in the years to come. As one candidate said in the campaign, the subject of peace plans should not be a partisan matter. It should be a concern of all Americans and be non-partisan. When we wage war there are no politi cal lines. It takes the sacrifice, the blood, sweat and tears of Democrats and Repub licans to win the war. So why, then, should not winning of the peace be equally a task and a privilege for all our people of all political complexions? During the campaign some were deeply concerned because the national campaign became somewhat bitter. Perhaps it was off key to some extent that the candidates for our highest office engaged in sarcastic bitterness. But that is not alarming in America. We can’t have a presidential election without partisan feelings, attacks and counter-attacks. In many respects, it was an indication that America is still America. The heated election campaign has not created any serious rift in our country. The United Nations, with the United States con tinuing in its dominant position, will forge to complete victory over the powers of op pression. Four years from now will be another presidential election, and there is not a more potent evidence of the power of de mocracy on the globe than a presidential election in the United States. -V- Tire Care Vital to War Effort All of us are familiar with the historic legend of an English King who lost a king dom because his horse lost a nail and con sequently a shoe. Well, today pulpwood products for war is seriously threatened by a shortage of truck tires. Government officials are alarmed at the prospect that some of the pulpwood now being cut may not reach the mills on time because of this transportation bottleneck. Pulpwood producers can relieve this sit uation somewhat by taking the best care of their trucks and tires until new tires and equipment become available. Everyone who has driven an automobile knows that the life of a tire usually depends on the care given it rather than on mileage. While abuses may vary in different re- .rions there are a few general rules which, ? observed, will keep pulpwood moving to ?he mills throughout this crisis and will gave producers time and money. 1 Don’t overload your truck. 2 Keep youp tires properly inflated. s! Eecap your tires before they become worn to fabric. ^ Z obeerving theee simple rules every 7^ !T^oducer who does his own SSSdM*wtn^^ contributing doubly to the and wffl iolp to the pulpwood auppfr mae^ry Jit A’lot of 8*&J*PP0taied apoktsmen who wouldn’t' know a foxhole from a pup-^nt will be telling what Gsl. Joe’wants after the war. ’ G.I. Joe himself is much too busy on a dozen, battle fronts to do. much orating himself. But from his letters home we can get an idea, and check against the n^eino- ries of World War I vets. He will wanVlo get into his old “civvies” as quickly as-possible, end stow slippered feet under Ma’s dinner table; to sleep till noon between clean white sheets, and gorge on chocolate sodas. Then he’ll go on from there. Other things he’ll be wanting, too. But all of them are normal components of the world as he knew it. He will want to find things aibout as he left them—only more so and better—with no violent changes-en- gineered in his absence. When he comes home, G.I. Joe will have seen enough of dictatorships and know enough of regimentation to last him the rest of his life. The visionaries might keep this in mind—and save a lot of trouble all around! -V Farmers, our fighting men must have supplies shipped to them in boxes, crates and cartons. It’ll take about half of the lumber output this year to fill that packag ing order, and your timber will help to do it. Get into timber production as soon as your field crops are harvested. The need is urgent. Your forester will gladly help you keep up the flow of wood from your farm to war and improve your woodland at the same time. V Wood will be needed in this war right up to the time the last gun is fired, and longer. Wood is e'ssential for making crates and boxes to carry supplies to troops. Keep our troops supplied with plenty of wood by producing timber from your woodland. Farmers, your project forester is prepared to give you advice about what to cut aiW where you can market your timber for war needs. “Mussolini’s birthplace taken by allied troops”.

THE NURSE In garments white and neat and clean The nurse goes forth to serve; Where suff’ring is she’s on the scene With calm and steady nerve. Both day and nifeht she walks the halls And enters ev’ry room; She quickly heeds the many calls And smiles away the gloom. With patient step she goes her rounds. Though often tired and worn; From room to room her sweet voice sounds To comfort those who mourn; Or those who need a word of cheer To help them bear their pain. And overcome their dread and fear • That health they may regain. She should possess a lot of grace, Be patient, gentle, kind; And wear a bright, sunshiny face ’Mid ev’ry task assigned; And though sometimes she wants to cry She has to smile instead, And comfort those who weep and sigh And keep them still in bed. She watches with an anxious eye Those who are very ill. And serves them as she passes by With all her might and skill; And when the crisis tense is on She wonders how ’twill be. And longs, perhaps, for day to dawn And hopes the best to see. The patient ought to love the nurse And treat her kind and right. And never once abuse and curse, Though she be out of sight; For she indeed has work that’s hard And filled with anxious care, And while her handj may not be scarred She has a lot to bear. God bless the nurse and keep her sweet Whatever be the test, And as she goes the sick to meet May she be at ^er best; And when God makes His jewels up May she be one of them.

And furthermore, it Is a very beautiful day, the kind that would give one a case of spring fever, provided It was spring. But since It Is fall, almost winter, and not spring, we can’t blame our blankety-Mank condition on spring fever. We’ll have to find an other name tor it. Just rambling around through various ,'papers we occasionally find a thought which we have been too lazy to originate. Just now we read where somebody said that It was strange that the man who can drink or leave It alone never does. And there was the. person who told the candidate that he would not vote for him If he were St. Peter himself, and the candidate said he supposed that was right because they certainly wouldn’t be in the same precinct. «r± h«*» an fahpist «nd dowa' Hove tfar.fa*Melfc^ii-.f' Mothef^lfarr;^ hiin,^r ^ deky;, Ahd hMwfas convince NR': :fa’e Won*;-''*' ,-Y Human'S , ,:piis is n women’s world.

His road from the station was a lonely one and he was getting along as fast as he could when he suddenly suspect ed that a man behind was follow ing him purposely. The faster he went, the faster the man followed, until they came to a cemetery. “Now”, he said to himself: “I’ll find out If he’s after me”, and he entered the cemetery. The man followed hihi. He circled a grave and his pursuer dodged after him. He ducked around a family vault. Still the man was after him. At last he turned and faced the fel low. "What do you want? What are you following me for?’’ "Well, sir; It’s like this: I’m going up to Mr. Brown’s house with a parcel and the station agent told me if I followed you I should find the place, as you live' next door.
