Sinews of War TOTAL war demands an outpouring of money such as the people of the United States never before have been called upon to make. As our men have volunteered and have been drafted in the fighting forces, so our government is drafting every available dollar from civilians to pav for the necessary fighting equipment to wage the war to a victorious conclusion. , The people of Macon county will answer this new call to economy and sacrifice as they have answer ed all other calls, with whole-hearted patriotism and loyalty which has already characterized the boys who 'have joined the armed forces. 1 hose at home have too heavy a stake in this war to lag be hind in this drive for all-out support of all-out war. The canvassers will not have to persuade Macon citizens to sign pledge cards to invest as share holders in their country's supreme task. In his radio message to the nation on Tuesday night President Roosevelt said, "We are now spend ing solely for war purposes the sum of about $100, 000,000 every day in the week. But before this year is over, that almost unbelievable rate of expendi ture will be doubled. . . . The price of civilization must be paid in hard work and sorrow and blood. The price is not too high." From The President's Broadcast UERE are some highlights from President Roose- velt's broadcast on Tuesday night : , American warships are now in combat in the North and South Atlantic, in the Arctic, in the Med iterranean, and in the North and South Pacific American troops have taken stations in South America, Greenland, Iceland, the British Isles, the Near East, the Middle East, the Far East, the con tinent of Australia, and many islands of the Pacific. Russian forces have destroyed and are destroying more armed power of our enemies troops, planes, tanks and guns than all the other united nations put together. The united nations will take measures, if neces sary, to prevent the use of French territory in any part otf the world for military purposes by the axis powers. Our planes are helping the defense of French colonies today, and soon American Flying Fort resses will be fighting for the liberation of the dark ened continent of Europe. In the German and Italian peoples themselves there is a growing conviction that the cause of nazism and fascism is hopeless. The news in Burma tonight is not good, The Jap anese may cut the Burma road ; but ... no matter what advances the Japanese may make, ways will be found to deliver airplanes and munitions of war to the armies of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. For every advance that the Japanese have made since they started their frenzied career of conquest, they have had to pay a very heavy toll in warships, in transports, in planes and in men. Judge John B. Willi JOHN BLALOCK WILLIS, familiarly known as "Judge Willis" will be missed in Franklin. In his last years he would walk to town often where many would greet their genial, white haired friend and enjoy ,a chat. Of late, his figure has been seen but seldom a advancing age kept him in his chair on his porch. A friend has paid him this appreciative tribute : "His was not what one would call a spectacular career. Indeed, that was farthest from his ambi tions. He chose rather to live quietly, giving the years of his life to his family and friends. For 25 vears he was a familiar figure in Franklin. Here his friends of former years many of them distinguish ed citizens of the South came to pay him periodic visits. "He will be remembered as a lover of the whole some things of life sports, good literature, friend ly associations. ... I remember him as one who impressed me with his patience, his quiet, unassum ing life, his devotion to his home. His passing will leave a vacant spot among us." THE FRANKLIN PRESS AfiD THE hIGHLAUDS MACON1AN SPRING PLOWING i i i i i I ' ; : Clippings THE SMALL BANK James Truslow Adams, the dis tinguished American historian re cently said this: "To insure, if the fight is won, and when it is won, what we are really fighting for the American way ot lite ana our American dream of opportunity for all is the iob. and the most im portant job, now and for years to come, of the small bank. Few of us realize how great a nart hanking d ravs in the American ideal.

We just got in trom manuevera and had a good time. I hope you will be kind enough to print this so my good friends hack there may. read it. A Soldier Boy Naaman Klliott. "Not while a man can't be em- n1oved on anv army project or in a war olant until he pays $20 to $50 or more to a labor racketeer. "Not while pressure blocs clamor for higher benefits, bounties and uensions. This is a recital of conditions we all are familiar with, and which every last mother's son of us should correct now not next week, or next month, but now NOW. Press Comment WAKE UP, AMERICA ITS LATE- An editorial in the New York World-Telegram says in part: "The nation needs to awaken to the full gravity of the peril that confronts it. "Production Director Donald Nel son appeals for vastly increased industrial output on a 24-hour, seven-day basis' 108 hours a week. Maximum production, in short. "jm we get it? "Not until we quit thinking in terms of less work for more mo ney. "Not while farmer politicians are more interested in higher prices than raising more essentials. "Not while government bureaus created to meet a depression emergency that is ended continue to grab for themselves money neea ed for armaments. "Not while an army of Federal press agents clamors to promote and perpetuate activities that have no Dresent need or value. "Not while Congressmen try to put over useless canals and river schemes and take up the time of defense officials clamoring for fac tories and contracts as if war were a great gravy train.

Re cruiting stations throughout the state have been, informed ot tne regulation. One critical Congressman says there are too many musicians serv ing in Army bands. Maybe some of the boys in the Army think there is too much fiddling in Congress. It's beginning to look as though Petain is worse than we thought he was-which didn't seem possible. One thing taught us by the Ma- ginot Line and Singapore, is that Impregnable is a word that should not be too loosely used. Some of the labor leaders didn't seem to realize that the primary object of this war is to preserve the UNION, not the Unions. You remember that Kimmel and Short asked to be retired on $6,000 a vear. It seems a small price to pay to be rid of the two little men who weren't there. Hitler said the cold was so in tense in Russia that German sol diers were frozen to the ground.
