All Saboteurs Do Not
Depend on Dynamite
All saboteurs are not aliens and
do not operate in far-away factories,
and all the selfishness in this coun
try is not confined to John L. Lewis
and his coal miners. Some of both
are to be found right here in Wash
ington County, and it is time steps
were taken to correct some existing
local conditions.
For example, a call has gone out
for all types of labor to help save the
potato crop of this section. That
this crop is a part of our war sup
plies may be judged from the fact
that the government bought S5 per
cent of all the potatoes shipped dur
ing the past few days from the area.
Men and women, boys and girls,
white and colored, are being urged to
help save this crop: and they can
early pretty fair wages while perform
ing what is really a patriotic duty
This is a serious problem, yet there I
are some—a few, but some—who are
sneering at efforts being made by con
scientious men and women to recruit
the help urgently needed in the po
tato fields. They have said it is not
necessary: that it is foolish for white
women to volunteer for this work:
and they go on at some lengths to be
little and censure those who show an
inclination to help.
Food is needed to win the war.
So are planes, ships, tanks and guns.
The saboteur who blows un a muni
tions plant is no more reprehensible
than the person who maliciously or
ignorantly tries to create suspicion in
the minds of patriotic workers that
they are being played for ' -uckers.''

here right now.
Few of us do a> much as we should
to directly contribute to the war ef

the work ourselves, we can at least
give credit to those who are trying.

will be amazed, a while later, when
the facts are revealed as to the nuin
ber of fighting ships that have joined
our Navy.
Battleships, carriers, cruisers and
destroyers, with lesser units galore
have l>een rushed to completion and
it i> assumed that, as of today, we
have the most powerful navy afloat.
We now have a large supply of coal on our
yard and if you are going to need coal next
winter, you had better let us fill your bin now.
As you know, the coal strike is not settled,
and coal may be rationed this winter. Also
you can get coal stoves now. but may not be
able to buy them later. You know what ra
tioning will mean—coal will be hard to get.

The end of the war will find the
L'nited State*- possessing the most
formidable array of warships ever po
ssessed by a single nation. What
will be their fate? W ill we fall for
another disarmament program and
junk the ships that insure the safety
of the seas?
I.et us hope not. If we do, another
war will develop in the next thirty
years and, once more, we will enter
the combat without the essential wea
pons of warfare Again we will suf
fer humiliating losses and struggle
against long odds until new ships can
be constructed.
Jt a nation can learn it is reason
able to presume that this country will
maintain a fleet adequate in size, as
compared to other fleets, to insure us
against attack anywhere in the world.

Why Were the
Saints, Saints?
By Ruth Taylor
Over my desk I have a motto
which is to me a daily reminder of
what is needed in these trying times.
Let me share it with you.
“Why were the saints, saints?
Because they were cheerful when
it was difficult to be cheerful;
patient when it was difficult to
be patient, and because they
pushed on when they wanted to
stand still, and kept silent when
they wanted to be disagreeable.
That was all. It was quite sim
ple and always will be."
The days of the saints are not
past. The need for saintly people wa •
never greater. The tradegy of defeat
brings its own courage for moment
of crisis, but the road upward to vic
tory is honeycombed with pitfalls for
the unwary. We need now and will
need ever more when we face the
great problems ahead of us before
peace is established, leaders and fol
lower- who are alike moved by un
selfed devotion to the highest ideals.
We will have need of cheerful
people those who can be cheerful
when it is difficult to be so, who arc
more interested in bringing happi
ness and prosperity to others than in
getting what the\ themselves want
We will have need of patient peo
pie, those who can wait under diffi
culties who do not need to rush
through to the end, who must have
everything happen at once as they
want it, and who must live now as
they think they should.
We will have need of preserving
people, those who will push on when
they are so tired they want to stand
still, who will carry through the task
before them even when heart and
body fail, who do not give up under
fire of criticism or complaint.
We will have need of thoughtful
people as well as those who know
when to talk and when to be still
We will have need of agreeable peo
ple, those who are trained in the ha
bit of being kitid and courteous even
when tempted to be disagreeable
We will have need of :>elf controlled
people, those who will not fall into
the traps of hatred toward any group,
whether it be of ilas< or creed or
color.
Call them saints if you will, it i
those hind of people we will need,
that we do need today, and it is the
kind of sainthood that is within
reach of every one of ns. It is a
daily task, a daily problem. Try it
for one day, and the next, and the
next. You may fail every now and
then. I do. 'We all do—but, if we
keep on trying, the effort will become
a habit and we w ill find our problems
solving themselves.
Why were the saints, saints? Be
cause they kept on living what they
believed. It was quite simple and it
always will be.

Licenses Required
By Threshers' Act
Raleigh.—Prank Parker statisti
cian with tile state department of
agriculture, called attention several
days ago to the Threshers' Act. which
was passed by the legislature in 1918
and which provides that each
threshing machine and combine be
licensed by the Register of Deeds of
the county in which it operates.
"Because records of acreage and
production of grain crops are so im
portant at this time, we must em
phasize the fact that each operator
of these machines comply with the
state threshers' law," declared Par
ker.
He pointed out that compliance
with the law will result in the gather
ing of information essential to war
program planning, individual farm
records business practices, official
records, machinery rationing and
county crop goals.
Parker said that "because of this
law, North Carolina farmers have
gained .special favors and better pm
grams than w'ould have been possible
otherwise.”

Watch this paper for further timely tips on canning from your
Victory Garden and local food surpluses. Clip them for ready
reference.
"YOU NEVER TAKE
OUT FROM YOUR
JAR ANYTHING BET
’ TER THAN YOU PUT
INTO IT" is well worth
remembering when
you're planning to put
\ surplus foods in glass.
\ Plan to have your
/ glassed foods rate as
'■w hioh «s possible in nutri
tion vaIuas. Vegetables which are served crisp and
fresh not only have more eye appeal, but have had
little chance to wilt from exposure and lose their
vitamins.
PICK VEGETABLES IN EARLY MORNING. Plan
ahead for glassing food surpluses by having equip
ment and jars readv, then you can surely meet the
dead line of "two hours from garden to iar."
WASH VEGETABLES THOROUGHLY AND
QUICKLY as soon as they reach the kitchen. Al
ways lift the vegetables out of the water rather
than opening the drain. Several warm waters for
greens help to remove all traces of sand. It is im
portant to wash vegetables thoroughly, because
the most dangerous bacteria and those most dif
ficult to kill are in the soil. Special care should be
given to greens and snap beans, which have a nat
ural affinity for dust, sand and soil. Do not shell
peas, beans or break snaps until they have been
through at least 3 baths. Cut large vegetables into
uniform site and grade shelled peas and beans if
time allows. This will give you • chance to have
A, B and C packs.
PRE-COOK VEGETABLES about 5 minutes in just
enough boiling water to cover. This drives out
enclosed eir, sets color, improves texture and flavor.
It is not necessary to sterilize already cleaned jars
which are to be packed with foods for processing.
However, they should be kept hot until individually
pecked with the hot food. Use pint end quart jars
when possible: only use half-gallon jars for tomatoes
or fruits.
FILL ONE JAR AT A TIME by adding the boiling
hot blanching liquid with the hot vegetable, to
eliminate air bubbles. Fill jars to half inch from
jar top, except corn, peas and butter beans. These
vegetables expand during processing, so fill jar to
one inch from top. Add one teaspoon salt for
each quart. Do not pack vegetables tight. Wipe
jar rim with cloth wrung out of sterilized water,
adjust the hot caps according to directions. Pre
pare one jar at a time, and soon as it is completed
place in covered canner with boiling water. Do
not start countinq time on the jar until canner it
filled and ready for processing. When time is up
and jars have cooled for 24 hours on a newspaper
or cloth, remove screw bands from jars, using self
sealing metal or glass caps. Wash jars thoroughly
with a damp cloth and label. Do not invert jars
to test for a leak unless they have the zinc top and
rubber band. Keep jars in an open exposed place
where they may be checked for 8 to 10 days to
detect any Immediate spoilage. If liquid boils out
of jar durinq processing, this does not affect the
keeping qualities of the food. Should you open
the jar to add liquid it would be necessary to re
process the jar and food for one-half the original
time. Store checked jars in your prepared storage
space.
FOR SAFETY FIRST, read and follow reliable direc
tions, keep equipment and supplies clean at all
times. Sterilize everything which might come in
contact with the food or jars. Spoilage and waste
result from carelessness. For complete safety, ALL
HOME PROCESSED MEATS AND VEGETABLES
SHOULD BE BOILED AT LEAST 15 MINUTES BE
FORE TASTING OR SERVING.
