TRUCK! NG OUTLOOK — The out look for North Carolina's commer cial vehicles appears fairly bleak for 1943, according to State ODT officials, and here^g the way the situation stacks up: tires in the main will be made of crude and reclaimed rubber, which means that they wont wear weB, and in addition military requirements for rubber will leave only 45 per cent as much rubber for commercial motor vehicles in 1943 as they used in 1941; manpower shortages will become steadily more serious, and women must take over wherever possible, and the parts situation can be summed up in four words—"Tight and getting tighter." ODT also reminds North Carolina truck owners that January 31 is the deadline for getting tempor ary gas rations from local boards. --—-—V Morgan Earned Chairman President's Birthday BaH Names of Western North Carolina county chairmen for the tenth annual upmpaign for infantile paralysis vic tims to be held under the auspices of the committees for the celebration of the President's birthday have been announced by Dr. Ralph McDonald, state chairman of.

Thus Webster defines a patriot. To love one's country is to "show a strong feeling of affection"-^ to support one's country is to u^oM add maintain its principles and stand ards. Am I a patriot 1. . are you . . . are we patriotic to America . . . some of the time or ali of the time? With America at war—fighting to maintain our freedom and the freedom of our children—fighting to keep Hilter or what he stands for from becoming our dictator—you and I must nevhr relax our patriotism^ We must not let per sonal gain and comfort blind us from our duty. One person was heard to say the ether day—"If Roosevelt doesn't give me this', I'm not going to do my part.'" That person had relaxed his patriotism—he failed to recognize that we must do more than ever before with toes. conveniences, equipment and comfort. ^ Another person was overheard say ing—"this war won't end this year, the capitalists don't want it to"—this was the voice of one who is being hurt financially—-just as many of us are. It is human nature for the most of us in time of distress to momentarily relax our sense of good judgment and reasonableness—when we are hurt we want to "cry". Let's remember, when we feel like "crying" to do it privately—lest someone chancing to hear our words of "distress" becomes misinformed. Let's renew our understanding of patriotism—have our weak moments to ourself—and, essentially, adopt the patriotic wartime slogan "Our Coun try—right or wrong!" FOOD AND FEED - 1943 Lend-lease shipments in 1943 will be twice as much as in 1942. The average daily shipment of lend-lease foods for* 1943 will amount to $10, 000,000 in value as compared to $5, 000,000 in 1942. Our armies of fight ing American men must have millions of tons of food—milk, eggs, beef, pork, vegetables, fruits and fruit juices. Millions of Russians, British and Chinese have put a barrier of living flesh between the Nazi-Jap tide of brutality and our shores—their crops, homes and supplies have been and are being destroyed. If they are to temain, we must help feed them to give them fighting strength. Wool and cotton to make uniforms _dairy products, meat and vegetables into foods; flaxseed and soybeans (Continued on page 4) . --V-- ^ SOMNTOR SETS BONO fORPMNCE AT $6,000 John M. Queen, solicitor for this district, set bond at $6,000 for Willie Prince, 37, following a preliminary hearing before C. R. Crawford, Justice of the Peace on Saturday afternoon. Prince is charged with the murder of Clarence Cable, who was shot to death near Deal's Gyp on January 1st. Following the shooting, which is said to have resulted from an argument over whiskey, Prince went to Rob binsville and gave himself up. He was turned over to Sheriff Frank Hyatt of Swain county and placed in the Swain county jail at Bryson City where he has been held since. Bond had not been made Tuesday night and he remained in jail. The case will be tried during the March term of Swain county superior court. MD.
