LET'S BACK THE ATTACK!
BUY WAR BONDS
We are now called upon to take
an active part in the Fourth War
Loan which was officially launched
January 18, by purchasing war
bonds of this series. The quota for
McDowell county is $380,000. This
goal can and will be reached by the
good citizens of this county.
This request is the largest of all
war loans in terms of individual par
ticipation, and is perhaps the most
important of all war loans. Our
lighting men have their eyes upon
lis, the 2200 men of McDowell coun
ty, now in the armed service of our
nation, do not expect us to fail;
them; our successes on foreign
fields are just beginning, and more ;
fighting equipment is needed; our
enemies are watching and hoping
and waiting for some signs of weak
ness, but ahead of us, and in the
outcome of this war bond drive, lies
the hope of the future. We have
entered a crucial year, a year that'
ought to be a year of destiny, and ;
m year that may decide the type ot
world that we and our children will
live in for years to come; with this
being the case, there is little else
that we can do other than back this
drive to the limit.
We must keep on buying war j
bonds regularly until the war is!
over, but during this drive we must!
buy EXTRA BONDS. The home j
front is facing its first big test of
this new and vital year. We dare
not fail. It may be a sacrifice for
some of us to buy extra bonds dur- j
ing this drive, but we have not for- \
gotten that every soldier, sailor and !
marine—every man and woman in ;
the armed service of our nation j
from McDowell county, is making a ;
sacrifice, in order that we may have
those things which appear funda- j
mental to our way of living and j
■which do not belie libertv and free
I
dom.
The citizens of McDowell county
■will BACK THE ATTACK, and with
the thorough cooperation of every |
one, with complete unity, with har- j
mony and with love and devotion to j
those of our numbers who have gone '
forth, and who are actually engaged
in the mighty conflict, we will secri- !
fice to the extent that our quota of j
bonds will be purchased.
We will do our part on the home 1
front. We will buy war bonds. Our j
quota of $380,000 will be reached.
EISENHOWER'S APPRAISAL j
In leaving1 his Mediterranean j
troops to take his new post as Com
mander-in-Chief of Allied Invasion
Forces in the West, General Dwightj
D. Eisenhower gave his soliders an j
easy method of appraising the,
course of the war.
The General told them: "Com-j
pare your present position and pros-1
pect in this great conflict with your
position and outlook in the late fall
of 1942." |
All that anyone has to do, to un- j
derstand the progress of the war,!
is to follow the suggestion of Gen- j
eral Eisenhower.
"I have designs on one of those
^rmy jeeps after the war," a local
farmer said yesterday. "I can fig
ure out a lot of ways that a jeep
would be mighty useful on the
farm," he said. In all probability'
after the war is over thousands of
jeeps, who, in their younger days |
lived dangerously on the front battle
line on far away shores, will be;
spending their declining years ini
the sheltered security of American
farms continuing a life of useful
ness in the program of rehabilita-.
tion.
Stalin is not the real name of the
Russian leader. It is a name used
by him in place of his family name
as writers and movie stars use
names other than their own. Stalin
means steel. How apt the name has
proven. In Russia's crisis, with a
-well prepared enemy threatening to
lay waste the great Russian empire
sand enslave its people, Joseph Stalin
The Knockout Blow
has stood like a tower of steel in
spiring his people to fight on, and
on, and to never give up. He has
been truly named, Stalin.
TURN WARTIME WASTE TO
PROFITS
"Christmas Tree Waste Deplored
by WPB, Thousands Burned." This
headline came out of Washington
the other day, and it adds a sombre
note to the nation's pulpwood drive
for 14,000,000 cords in 1944.
Waste is deplorable at any time;
it is nothing short of tragic at this
time.
The tragedy lies not in the burn
ing of the trees so much as in the
waste of manpower, of time, and of
transportation equipment. Christ
mas trees could not be used for
pulpwood; they are too small. They
were too green for fuel.
The over-supply came about be
:ause a few persons tried to reap
quick, high profits. They suffered
Prom their own greed.
How much better for everyone
concerned, especially for the war
jffort, if this wasted manpower and
equipment had been used to cut
pulpwootl. For pulpwood production
is not only essential to our military
success; it pays reasonable and de
pendable profits. And its largest
return will be Victory.
Let's back the boys at the front in
'44 with extra cords of pulpwood.
RUSSIA TO DOMINATE EUROPE
The people of the United States
might just as well begin to learn
some of the simple ABC's that re
late to the settlement of affairs in
Europe, including the Polish ques
tion.
We have considerable sympathy
for the aspirations and ambitions of
the Poles. Out of the settlement of
this war there should arise, no
doubt, a new Poland. But, this does
not necessarily require that it
should contain every square mile of
territory that was Polish in 1939.
The supreme fact, to be recogniz
ed is considering every European
settlement, is the might and power
ol Soviet Kussia. wnen uermany
is defeated, Joseph Stalin will have
ample force at his disposal to apply
a Russian settlement to all questions
arising in East Europe.
This fundamental power is the
No. 1 fact affecting the determina
tion of the boundaries and the exist
ence of smaller states. It can be
erased only by the mobilization of
greater power, able to operate ef
fectively in Eastern Europe.
We hope that the Soviet Govern
ment will conclude that its interests
suggest a policy of cooperation with
Great Britain, the United States
and other nations but it is also pos
sible that the Russians will decide to
make their own disposals, with an
eye to the future security of their
country.
If Russia puts no faith in inter
national cooperation, the cold fact
is that the entire area of Eastern
Europe will be completely dominat
ed by the Soviet. This includes
Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Czecho
slovakia, Poland, Hungary and Ru
mania.
These states can expect no armed
assistance from the United States or
Great Britain if they elect to make
war against Russia. The quicker
their friends understand this, the
sooner and safer will become their
independent existence.
The Russians, as nearly as we can
make out, are not yet sure that a
reordered world will follow the de
feat of Hitler. They are probably
doubtful of the effectiveness of any
understanding with the Western
Democracies.
Even if Stalin and his advisers
are ready to consider the possibility
of mutual cooperation, they seem in
clined to create conditions which
will safeguard Russia in the event
that the new collaboration collapses.
Buy V^ar Bonds and buy them
now.
'governor urges people
TO SUPPORT LOAN DRIVE
Raleigh, Jan. 15. — Governor!
Broughton today urged North Caro-j
linians to "dedicate « themselves;
wholeheartedly in a successful pros-;
ecution of the Fourth War Loan
drive" which begins Jan. 18.
North Carolina's quota in the
drive is $126,000,000 of the nation
al goal for fourteen billion. The
drive ends Feb. 15.
Asserting that "North Carolin
ians always have responded to ur
gent pleas issued by state and fed
eral governments during past war
loan drives," the governor declared
in a proclamation that:
"This is a tremendous undertak
ing. This campaign is a challenge
to the entire nation. The response j
will indicate the strength and depth j
of our national spirit.
I m
The World war in which our na
tion has now been engaged for
more than two years is approaching
its climax," the governor said. Our
highest military authorities predict
complete victory in the European J
phase of the conflict this year, pro- j
vided the American people stand j
firm and united in their purpose and j
unstinting in sacrifice."
A successful conclusion of the |
drive, he said, "will give our more
than 250,000 North Carolinians in
the service a further assurance of
our unflagging support of their ef
forts to bring us victory."
The governor said that the state 1
had gone over the top in each of
the three war loan drives. Only a
few counties, he said, failed to meet
their quotas in the last drive.
He urged civic clubs, educational,
community, religious, and govern
mental agencies in the state to give
the campaign "whole-hearted sup
port."
TRANSPORTATION
The War Food Administration ur
ges farmers to keep their trucks,
pickups, trailers, and automobiles in |
the best possible condition. It re
ports that recapping of tires must be
employed extensively.

M. V. Snipes of Nebo says that
his cow produced more milk while
she was grazing on his supplemen
tary kudzu pasture, in front of his
home, during1 the late summer and
fall. This field was planted to ku
dzu in the spring of 1942 and is now
producing more feed of a higher
nutritive value than before.
Mr. Snipes cut a small quantity of
kudzu hay last fall and he reports
that his livestock likes it fine.
Terrace lines were surveyed re
cently on the following farms:
Marvin Hemphill, J. M. Parker,
Charlie L. Patton and R. 0. Wilson
and they have built or will build
