WILLIAMSTON, NORTH CAROLINA. Out Of The Muddle We hear so much about the muddle in Wash ington, miscalculations, errors and bickering that we, more or less, naturally overlook the sum total of the deeds accomplished. We do not look ar toe over-all picture ho* pick me Tsoi a r ed cases and happenings -to condemn. Possibly there is a different way to run the war and gov ernment for each of the million individuals, and we fuss and fume when things don’t go ac cording to our patterns. We overlook the fact that the individual is all important, but that im portance is determined by the individual’s ac tion as a member of the team and not as an in dividual star. The everyone of us can’t tell the government how to run the war, but everyone of us can do his part Instead of doing their in dividual parts as members of a great team, so many of us are wagging our tongues eternally about the muddle, and somehow or other we are in the muddle ourselves. Reliable reports state that war production this year is greater by more than 80 per cent than it was in 1942. On that count, there is a lot of good coming out of the muddle. Possibly we are far from the state of perfection, but despite the bias ed and “kept" commentators and press, some thing is being accomplished. And then, too, the job in Washington is the biggest ever undertaken, and when we com pare the mistakes made in -handling that big task with the ones we made in our own indi vidual undertakings, the results are not so bad, after all, So, as long as we can muddle along as well as we have in the past, surely we’ll reach the coveted goal in due time. But, if we would help relieve the muddle in Washington, let us, as in dividuals, get out of the muddle at home by playing a fair and square game as members of the team. Certainlywe <jo not agree with all that has been done in Washington, but if it had been done differently and we had agreed, someone else would not have agreed. General Girand'* Visit I ! I ! Genera] Henri Giraud is visiting in this coun try, and whi'e the meaning of his mission is not definitely known, it is to be hoped that some thing concrete and something close to unity will grow out of it. Many people are still puzzled over the way we carry on on the diplomatic front and in our actual fighting. The diplomats apparently play ball with Franco in Spain, the old Vichyites while the fighting men fight the friends of the two groups. The leaders of the men who have fought Hitler are held somewhat in disdain by our diplomats, and as a result there is broken General'Giraud. Each*may have his faults and his good points, but we do know that there was a group of fighters who fought F/anco, Musso lini and Hitlei in Spain and that there was a group of men who fought Hitler in France who are still fighting there. These men some of our diplomats are apparently trying to discard and take over the followers of Franco and Vichy. Banters are bc-tog circulated against the Be Gaullists. They might be hue, but unlii they become more than rumors, we cannot help but side with De Gaulle and cheer such statements as the following one as it comes from a mem ber of the Fighting French: <LTo talk about reorganization of the French army as hurting its morale is nonsense. We have never wanted to throw out of the army men who fought in Tunisia, whether they were ex-Vichyit.es or not. The only men we have wanted to get rid of are men who fired on the Americans and British during the Allied land ing last November, men who did all they could to hinder the Allies and to help the Vichy col laborationists. We don’t trust the loyalty of such men, and it’s hard for us to understand why the Americans should trust them. It looks very much, with all these rumors against De Gaulle, that the U. S. A. is trying very hard to save France from the French. But one thing is sure. No matter how De Gaulle’s prestige may suffer in the U. S. A. because of all these slan ders, his prestige won’t suffer in North Africa or France. If anything it wbll grow.” Tell The Truth Although admitting that he had “muffed” when he failed to submit the deal to the Justice Department for advice, Navy Secretary Knox lias been sent before two Congressional com mittees to defend the Elk Hills oil contract be tween the Navy and Standard Oil of California. Assistant Attorney General Norman Littell described the contract as being “not in the pub lic interest.” But the assistant attorney gener al’s sensational revelation was barely mention ed in the “kept” press of the country, but they talked long about the defense offered in sup j port of tire "contract; 1 There’s talk about expensive parties in the 1 Mayflower Hotel with lavish entertainment and j “with' all you could -eat and drink.” Let Mr, ; Knox tell the truth and let the chips fall where | they may. Is this country so desperately in need ! of oil today that it mtist bow down to a corpora ] tion’s demands? Could it be that while laws, rules and regulations are created to “freeze” labor and prices, the sky is the limit when it comes to favoring the big corporations? Could it he that a-t the bottom ox the deal there is something rotten? In war as well as in peace, the truth shuold be told and the people are en I tilled to know the truth.

Tomato juice Good Source of Vitamins —» — Tomato juice is a healthful drink and, if properly prepared, is an ex cellent source of vitamins “A” and ‘C ”, says Mrs. Cornelia C. Morris, Home Economist in Food Conserva tion at N. C. State College. She suggests the use of fully ripe, firm tomatoes of a bright red color, which have been washed well and cut into small pieces, after the re moval of the core. To preserve the natural llavor and color in the can l«:.r WAflRlf T¥ed and mat utensils"ot copper and brass, and iron should be avoid ’d. The conservationist advises that, one to two gallons of tomatoes should be handled at the time and that there should be no delay in any step of the canning program. The toma toes should be precooked at about 170 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit or, if no thermometer is av|dahlo. let the tomatoes simmer until softened. They should not be boiled. According to Mrs. Morris, the soft , ened, hot tomatoes should be put through a fine sieve at once. A bowl or cone type sieve is recommended because it allows the least amount of air to be incorporated in the pulp. • If the tomato juice is to be given to an infant or an invalid, salt should be omitted. Otherwise, one half to - one teaspoon of salt may be added 5 to each quart. f After the tomatoes are put through the sieve, the juice should be reheat 1 ed at once, according yirs. Morris. ) I If glass containers are used, heat the iJjui^^^^^^nejaourinUitnesten sa\Tr"PK^ cess for five minutes. ) If tin cans are used. Mrs. Morris - advises that the juice should be heat - ed to 130 to 190 degrees, poured into .• the cans, sealed, and allowed to pro cess for 5 minutes. No head space - should be left in either the glass or . tin container. Radar Discovered Thirteen Years Ago The military sensation of the day is radar, that “secret weapon” which won the Battle fo Britain and is now giving us air superiority on vaiious fighting fronts. Yet, the principle of this widely hailed device, which lo cates planes when they are miles away, actually was discovered on a lonely Virginia farm thirteen years ago, before Hitler came to power in Germany. There, a former Navy Re searcher, L. A.

Production of Figs Increases In State --. .. » . . .. North Carolina sows farrowed 970,000 pigs from December to June of this year as compared with 628, 000 of rthe 10-year average for this period, J. J. Morgan, State Depart ment of Agriculture statistician, re ported recently. This is a 19 percent increase over 1942. The number of sows farrowing last year was 28 per cent larger than in 1941 and the number this year is 21 percent over the June-to-December figure for 1942.
