General Elects Company, Schenectady, N. Y. Ml-ill G WOOD GOES TO WAR The Home Front One of the highlights that re suits from a Study of the Home Front is tre fact that national and international problems are in separable from local welfare What follows is more or less a .sketch of phases in which this is true, At the present time, there are slightly more than 2,000,000 men in the American Army. Inere are 1.000,000 more men in the Navy, and about 500,000 in the Air Force. That marks an immense change from a few years ago, when the Army was down around 150, 000 men, and the other military branches were also negligible so far as numbers are concerned. But the change that will take place in the future, according to current plans, will be infinitely greater - - and will have an in finitely greater effect on the nor mal ways of the nation. Top military men believe that the Army will have to be in creased to 8,000,000 men and perhaps still mofe - - that the Navy will have a personnel of around 2,000,000 -- and that the war continues, betweenZ,000,(X)0 and 13,000,000 men will (be re quired for military .service. Not all of these men, by any means, will combat troops. . A major Army is a world of its own, requiring every kind of skill, tal ent, craft and profession. For each man in the fighting lines, there must be several men behind the lines in the departments of supply, communications transport, REPORT OF CONDITION OF THE BANK OF FRANKLIN Of Franklin, in the State of North Carolina, at the Close of Business on April 4th, 1942 8. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 18. 19.

Much of the vital production rolling off assembly lines is dependent on American forests. To keep production rolling will make a heavy drain on theae forest resources. To offset this drain, the public must take steps to insure its forests full protection against their greatest enemies: lire, disease, and wasteful, unregulated exploitation. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Rev.

FAGG, Notary Public. etc. The same thing is true of the Navy and Air force. But all of these men, whether they .serve with guns or with tools, will be wearing uniforms, and all of them will be out of civilian hfe. The reasons for planning so vast a military estaoiisiimer.it are oo vious. We must figure op a long war whose end will be the actual land invasion of Axis countries All hope that will not be neces sary and that Germany and Japan will collaspse. But it would be the height of folly to plan on that We must, instead, plan on doing it the hard way. What will be the effect of this demand for manpower for the military services ? First, it can be stated that every man under 40 without de pendents, and without a job which s considered absolutely vital to .he war effort, will be inducted and soon. Men who are physi cally unfit, of course, will be ex ceptions but mem with reta iively minor physical disabilities will be taken, and placed in non- combat work. Second, Congress will probablj nass a measure providing for government support of men's de pendants. Then the millions of men in the 3-A classification will gradually be taken. The Selec tive Boards have recently been reclassifying men with wives who are sell - supporting, cnarcging them to the 1-A bracket. Third, the registration erf older men (UD to W) win give me government exhaustive information concerning a reservoir of man power which is too old for actual combat, but which can . be called upon for other necessary duties These men, for example, could be used ifor farm labor, and for work in war industries. They could re lease younger men for the fight ing iforces. If this war goes on ong enough, it is considered in evitable that the government will iecide where, when and for how much pay you will work. Fourth, it is a definite possibility that we 'will eventually classify and conscript womanpower. That is already being done on a vol unteer basis, and in time it may be done on an enforced basis. Women can drive cars, run ele vators, serve as clerks in shops, perform many operations in war industry, and do a thousand-and- one other jobs which are now being performed by men the mi litary forces need and want. What will be left for civilian production, civilian life The answer is clear; "The bar est minimum of what is needed." f this war lasts long enough, the drain on human resources will be as great as in Germany, England, Japan, or anywhere else. The home fires will be kept burning by women, by men who are unfit for military service, and by old men. Then, when the war is over, the vast job will start of reestab lishing life on a peacetime basis. In the meantime, any man in good health who is not beyond the reg istration age limits, should be pre pared for sudden disruption of his economic, social and domestic life. This war is being fought "for keeps, ' and all the wealth of the nation, human and material alike, is dedicated to winning it By Navy statistics, the average recurit is 194 years old. 5 feet 8yl inches tall god weight about State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q. Is North Carolina keeping pace with other states in the pro duction of poultry and eggs? A. Yes. According to a recent U. Si Department of Agriculture re port, the number of laying hens in North Carolina for February was! 15 per cent greater than in the same month a year ago. This is a larger increase than the aver age for the United States. Egg production showed a 14 per cent increase over February, 1941. Q. What farmers are eligible to receive tires and tubes? A. There are two classes under the rationing plan. Those in Class A are eligible for new tires and tubes. These include licensed veter inarians, persons operating vehicles holding 10 or more people requir ed to carry workers to and from farms, trucks to haul gasoline and repair equipment for farm machin ery, and trucks used to haul farm products to market and feed and fertilizer back to the farm. Those in Class B are eligible only for re-treads and re-caps. They ir- clude persons who have no other way to haul produce to and from market except in their passenger cars and farm workers who have to have cars to travel to and from work.

Flock owners of the county who made their February report to the county agents office showed an average production of nearly twersty and two tenths eggs per bird. The state average production was 15 eggs per bird. The state average production was fifty three and eight tenths per cent. Ma eon county average production was It percent. The state average return per bird above feed cost was 11 cents. Macon county's average was 38 and nine tenths of a profit of $38.90 per hundred. As a result of joirot meetinsrs held throughout the county by county and home agents encour aging better care and the pro duction of more poultry, there has been placed in the county approximately 30,000 baby chicks. There has been well over one hundred lamp brooders and a dozen brick constructed. Macon county farmers are do- ng their part toward the in crease jn production of poultry and eggs. A ll US CHICKENS around here can really "go to town" now since this lew Purina Dealer opened up with Purina Laying Mashes. They help make vigorous hens, heavy layers, low mortality and high sustained production I FRANKLIN Hardware Co. WAKE UP AMERICA!
