Time For Victory (rardcii*
After American youth have suffered and died
to advance the war, it would seem that civilians
would sacrifice and work without grumbling to
help make the peace secure. A new release on
mumbling and grumbling u fast gaming in t.m
country because the people, although far from
hungry, are balking against sharing with h.t
starving and naked in liberated areas. It is cei
tain that no more food will be shipped out of
this country than we can spare without threat
ening the health of the people.
Now ,the big question for the home front to
answer is: Are we going to sit back and rest
on our oars and gobble up food without tiying
to help relieve the situation9 If ever there was
a time to plant a victory garden, that time is
now. Surely, one victory garden will add little
to the over-all supply, hut when millions go soft
and turn to the tin cans on the grocer’s shelves,
the plight of others in liberated areas and right
here at home is aggravated
Martin County boys, stationed in the liberat
ed areas, have written and told how little chil
dren called at the camp kitchens for garbage,
reportedly for the pigs but actually for their
own hungry mouths. How can we mumble and
grumble against sharing w'ith the starving when
ones we know tell of such conditions? How can
we remain idle when a critical time is reached,
and when it means much to retain the friendship
of millions? Yes, we can get busy and help re
lieve the situation by using the hoe and garden
plow. Or we can close our eyes, remain idle and
hog the food supply and help tear down all that
suffered for
our military youth have fought for
and died for.
It’s time for victor} gardening and on a big^
scale, fis nofohfylne palBotfc ihfiig to dd "Hui^
also the humane and logical thing to do. No one
^s»c^-4o-afaBwe-Asaa¥l«ffic -tc leof’.-tfee-l-jber
ated peoples, but it is proposed and indeed
timely to get busy and help produce food in suf
ficient quantities to assure a supply adequate for
all We are in a better position than any other
people on earth to really get into the fight for
peace and lasting friendship. If you haven’t
planned your victory garden, get busy today.

iii>* to tire Associated Press,
has^-aw-gl* i in : is eye. Who no
you imagine he’s after this time? The A.P. re
plies:
“He’s busy setting booby traps for returning
service men .He’s after their families, too.
“Whether the money is muster-out pay, trav
eling expenses, prisoner-of-war accumulated
savings or the sole hoarding of the old folks,
the racketeer is aware of this:
“There is some $130 billions of savings in this
country—much in veterans’ names—that could
be spent after the war.”
The A.P. proceeds to list many of the schemes
which the swindlers hope to put over and quotes
Brigadier General Frank T. Hines as warning
j the service men about placing th§ir trust in in
dividuals they do not know.
But the swindlers will continue to operate
and they will get away with a large part of that
$130 billion “nest egg” unless the authorities do
something more than “issue warnings.”
(,ood Logic
Johnston County's representative in the State
Legislature spilled some good logic, and inci
dentally spilled it in a good place, a short time
ago when he rose to the floor and said:
“Since the legislature hasn’t found money to
pay the teachers a decent and living salary, I
can’t see how the legislature can consistently
create three additional high-salaried jobs for
unnecessary purposes and leave the teachers
hanging on a limb.”
HalitniiriK
Rationing, despite the black market and
cheating, will have been successful if it just
opens our eyes to the fact that others beside
ourselves must live.
You cannot teach a child to take care of him
self unless you will let him try to take care of
himself. He will make mistakes, and out of
these mistakes will come his wisdom.— H. W.
Beecher.
Children need models more than they need
critics.—Joseph Joubcrt. __

Every year America’s forests and woodlands sutler an
average of 210.000 fires. That’s 575 a day... 575 while
you slept last night!
Every year fires burn over 31.000,000 acres—more
than in Yosemite National Park or the state of New
York. Every year fires kill billions of little trees —
tomorrow’s timber—and enough big trees to build
215,000 five-room homes! Every year vital watersheds
are crippled, hundreds of thousands of man-days of
labor wasted, nature’s beauty scarred.
Startling facts—but no more startling than this: Of
these forest fires, 90% are caused bv honest, patriotic
American citizens, like you! One word—carelessness—
explains the wholesale razing of America.
It’s time—NOW—to pul an end to this crying shame.
\'on and your friends can help! Please read the rules on
this page... read them again ... memorize them ... tell
others about them. Then be careful in all forest and
woodland areas. Do your part to help prevent fires!
MEMORIZE THESE RULES

1. Crush out your cigarette,
your cigar, your pipe ashes.
2. Break your match in two.
When you can hold the
burned end between your
fingers—play sals, use the

3. Drown your campfire; then
stir ond drown it ogain.
14. If you must use fire: First,
