I : i ttUAKu£ir.'.Ttnni Farmers'1 Classifications There is no opposition to “C” draft classifica tions for farmers; in fact, the creation of those classifications was necessary, just and proper. But the first check-up shows that some “farm ers” allegedly took advantage of those classifi cations, and in justice to those who really toil and put their heart and soul into their work something ought to be done to correct the evils of the system. It is quite possible that some mistakes were made in reviewing production records in this county, that some of those farm registrants de clared non-essential are really essential and vice versa. But in too many cases undue advan tage has been taken of the preferred ratings is sued in good faith by Selective Service. Those young men whose order numbers have long since been passed and who have deliberately used their “C” classifications as a means of dodg ing the draft without even offering to play the game fair have little right to expect continued exemption. Some of them “hogged" production units and then went into the open labor market and hired workers to do the actual work, aggra vating further the serious farm labor shortage Others were so busy having a good time they could not apply their efforts to such common tasks as cutting pulp wood or to other common tasks that would help a fighting brother or friend on the battlefront. Now some of those who lost their classifica tions are up in arms. Possibly some of them have just claims to a review of their cases, but those young men who would have already beer, in the service had it not been for farm deferments and who muffed their opportunities have no one to blame but themselves. Closely allied to these cases are those of young men who have been rejected for active military service. Many of the rejectees have returned to regular work schedules on the home front, but many others, white and colored, rich and poor, are representing the dregs of human society when it comes to playing a fair and just part in the home front battle. They are proving them 1 ■«»«s to he n,’iHrets of the first water, scoundrels that should not be tolerated by decent society. These cases, in ad dition to the lost manpower, are threatening the good intentions and efforts of others who plow t d by 'iil ri)‘..light Ui fiWnt&ln productionOlds. Fathers, most of them aged, plowed by moon light right here in Martin County, and it is no tonic to them and to others who labor long and hard to see shiftless scoundrels gallivanting up and down the highways burning “tractor” gas and having a good time. The only decent thing for those who are not playing fa; 1 to -go to work or withdraw into their own shells until the war is over. V.'e again express our admiration of those “C” . j pgiffjTvjjvvT;.'r nrc~mr'/’irfig 'i’nrir nvwrgwtinyrrflr" and more, and of those who are otherwise safe from the draft but who insist on doing all in their power to match on the home front the glor ious deeds done by their fellowmen on the fight ing front. The Fighting Home Front For 1944 From The Common Defense. The New Year begins with events on the war front favorable to the Unit d Nations. The waves of the Arctic now cover forever what remains of the Scharnhorst, once the pride of the Ger man Navy. Three more Nazi destroyers rest on the bottom of the Bay of Biscay. Berlin, once said by Goering to be immune to attack from the air, is very nearly destroyed. American and British forces, operating over a very difficult terrain, pound back the Nazi divisions in Italy. The Russians sweep into Poland. In the Pacific, the Japanese find it impossible to stop the ad vance of our troops as they proceed relentlessly toward the heart of the Mikado’s Empire. Yet, 1943 was not the year of the great and all-out allied attack upon the enemy’s strong holds. It was the year of preparation, of getting into position for that attack which, we are con fident, will be triumphantly undertaken in 1944. Fur us, the enlarged military operations agansi the Axis will mean the death of tyranny and the restoration to mankind of the opportunity to be free again. But to the men—the soldiers, sailors airmen, and marines- who forge this victory for us, it will mean victory for freedom purchas ed at the price of enduring danger and dirt, suf fering ,shell shock, sacrifice, and death. These fighting men of ours will need support. They will get it if we keep our minds on the great aims for which the war is being fought. They will not get it if we follow the example of some people in our midst who seem to re gard the war as an opportunity for complain ing about the comparatively mild inconven ience's that we all must undergo. However, we are enduring no hardship that can be even re motely compared with the very real sacrifices that the men of the armed forces are making daily. It is they, not we, who must crawl through the mud of the infested and steaming jungle, seeking out a hidden enemy. It is they, not we, who must look upon their dying comrades and listen to the agonized cries of the wounded. It is they, not we, who must move forward day and night, under a rain of lire that seems etern al while it lasts. But, they are not complaining. They have a purpose to fulfill, a war to win, and a great of fensive to launch in 1944. It is not their offen sive only, it is our offensive too. And if we value the mighty deeds that they have to perform in 1944, we shall carry on at home in their spir- ) it and with their seriousness of purpose. Let us have no more complaining.

EFFICIENT SINCE- JOHN MADE THE SIGNS?* "Gum With Wing*—T hat’s what U. 8. warplanes already ha vs been called. Now comes the news that Mitchell bombers tote 76 mm. cannon. Thus has aerial warfare pro gressed. The “French 76” of World War I was the backbone of Allied artillery. Sky fighting was In its infancy. First, opposing airmen shot pistols and rifles. Then, a Frenchman, Roland Gar ros, put a machine gun to work firing through propeller blades, 'but it remained for Anthony Fok ker to develop complete synchro nization. And now the 76 mm. gun, which in World War I was norse-drawn, has taken to the air drawn by the equivalent of more than 2,000 horses!

There also will be heads of the only two airlines which advocate a monopoly. There will be offici als who fuvoi competition and others like Senator Josiah Bailey, Chairman of the Senate Com merce Committee, who back “one strong company”, believing this necessary to meet the challenge of foreign operators.
