PAGE TWO THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE HIGHLANDS MACON I AIM THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 1942 The Home Front We are now on the offensive. For the first time in this war American forces have moved agair.'St the enemy with the ob jective of expelling him. The the ater of action is the Solomons. The Solomons are a chain of is lands the islands are steaming jungle and abrupt peaks and the home of head-hunting savages Who doubtless have learned new lessons in savagery lately from the Japanese. For Japan's line of communication runs through the Solomons, and im the Solomons Japan flanks Australia. From its very start this first American offensive indicated to the Home front the reed for re doubling our production effort. Admiral King, Commander - in Chief of the U. S. fleet, said it appears we have lost at least cne cruiser and that other warships had been damaged, and he said: "Considerable losses, such as are inherent in arjy offensive opera tion, must be expected." Salvage I Paramount More than ever today the em phasis must be on salvage and on such further restrictions of an already restricted civilian indus try as may be possible. It is pos sible to tighten up on the civilian economy here and there, and wherever it is possible it must be done. And the combined Produc tion and Resources board the agency through which Great Bri tain and the United States at tack their joint production prob lems, says an American Steel mission is going to England to work out plans for a more ef-J ficient method of using steel, and to study British methods of col lecting scrap. Transportation Problem Grows The problems of wartime trans portation increase with the turn ing wheels and the passing days. In a sense, transportation is the key to victory or rather, one of many keys with which we must unlock mainy doors before we win. Production, mass assembly line production, is really a mat ter of getting material to proces sing plants, thence to fabricating factories, eventually to the point of final assembly and ultimately to where it is needed on the fighting fronts. The only way in which we cam depend on our transportation systems, local and "long-haul,., to. do their job is by cutting civilian demands on these systems to the barest possible .minimum. And that is what we ' are doing. Buy Coal Now, ODT Warn The Office of Defense Trans portation announced last week that by cutting out duplicate pas senger train and bus schedules in the first half of 1942, the rail ways have gained 114 locomotives and 553 passenger cars to meet the needs of war traffic. The greatest civilian lorag - distance transportation problem is that which affects Eastern states fac ing winter with a shortage of fuel, especially fuel oil. The problem of local transpor tation is something which con cerns everybody, and it is a crit ical problem today. Every time the big rubber tire of a delivery truck revolve they bring nearer the time when that truck must be laid up. Whether such trucks serve America until the war is won, or whether our system of distribution by truck breaks down, depends largely on the way the trucks are used, ODT, working with owpers and drivers of our five million trucks, has made plans to save trucks and tires as much as possible, but no plan will work unless everyone helps. OPA Denies New Rationing The Office of Price Adminis tration denies it plans to add new commodities to the rationing pro gram. WPB has authorized Henry J. Kaiser, West Coast shipbuilder, to submit plans for building 500 Martin "Mars" flying Jboats for use as cargo carriers and has asked Kaiser to proceed with de signs of a new type two hundred ton flying boat. In July we spent $11.400,000 a day for war-a gain of 16.3 per cent over June. Admiral William D. Leahy, the President's Chief - of - Staff, in a radio speech, said : "This is the time to make our stand We dare not be reckless with the fate of v our own country We dare not throw away the fate of the world' Latest figures of the U. S. De partment of Agriculture reveal that there were 232, !00 more per sons employed on American farms on June 1, than on the same date a year ago. Join Now Potto' Burial Aaa'n. The What. FaatOy Central Education Board Sought By State Leaders Constitutional Amendment To Be Up Nov. 3 HENDERSON V1LLE, Aug. 18 Monroe R. Reddem, chairman of the State Democratic Execu tive committee, has taken the ac tive chairmanship, arid former Governor Clyde R.

Active and concerted . support of the school board amendment is the first undertaking of the educa tional council. Waters will serve as secretary of the state com mittee for the constitutional amendment. Between now and the general election of November 3, when the amendment will be voted on, the committee plans to wage an in tensive fight. The state will be organized, the three officials plan, by congressional districts, and the campaign for the school board amendment will be carried to the 1,919 precincts of the state. The amendment, which would establish one state board of ed ucation to assume responsibilities of the present ex-officio board and of four other boards and commissions in administering the public schools of the state, already has the official endorsement of the State Federation of Business and Professional Women's clubs, State i Grange, State Federation of Women's clubs, North Carolina Congress of Parents and Teach ers, State School Board associa tion and North Carolina Educa tion association.

This is not an idle question. Back of it is a method of increasing tire life. Tests have already been made at a number of Esso Dealer stations. In 16 out of every 17 cases car owners were literally amazed at the ex tra mileage their present tires could deliver. The chances are that you can get a lot more mileage too.

Marine Corps Calls For Men RALEIGH, Aug. 18 The Ma rines have landed again -r- this time in the Solomon islands in the first United States offensive of the war, and Marine recruit ers in North Carolina have pledged to "keep 'em landing" by enlisting as many Tar Heels as possible during the last 15 days of this month. The recruiters believe that North Carolina will reward the "leatherneck" heroes, who are winning the United States' first offensive action, by added man power instead of mere words. Those distant Marines axe going to know that North Carolina is behind them, "leatherneck" re cruiters pledged today, as tney made plans for an all-out recruit ing offensive. Men who wish to join the Ma rine Corps, but who have received notices to appear for induction under the Selective Service sys tem, still may enlist right up to the time they are actually sworn into the army. Applicants with dependents are assured of the same dependency allowances in the Marine Corps as they would receive if they were drafted" into the army. Age limits in the Marine Corps now are 17 to 33, inclusive. The Western North Carolina recruiting station is at Asheville in the postoffice building.

Shortage Of Grade A Milk Faced In State A .shortage of Grade A milk for use by Army camps arnr civil ians in North Carolina is predict ed for the near future by John A. Arty, Extension dairyman of N. C. State College. He makes a patriotic plea to all dairymen to feed liberally and obtain the max imum production from every cow. During the past- winter and spring approximately 7,500 gallons of milk were delivered daily to Army camps within the State Arey stated. This demand will be increased by 4,000 to 5,000 gallons of milk daily when new training ceinter.s for the fighting forces of the Nation are opened during the next few months. Local dairies have so far been able to supply both camp and civilian demand for fluid milk, but it wll be difficult for them to meet an increased demand. To do so, will require maximum produc tion from all available herds locat milk can be collected. Good production requires liberal feeding, and that means every dairyman must produce this sum mer all the hay and silage his herd will need next winter. Hay-making is one of the next harvesting jobs on the farm, and should be cut at the proper time to get the most tonnagt and the maximum feeding value. Alfalfa should be cut when one-tenth to one-fourth in bloom; lespedeza, when the crop is about one-half in bloom ; and .soybeans, from bloom to when the seed are be ginning to form. , ON REQUEST J CAFE (TWO DOORS.)
