C., under the act of Congress of March 3, 1879. Thursday, July 13, 1944 and Washington County Coes Over the Top Extremely gratifying is news that Washington County has topped its • E" bond quota. A tabulation made Tuesday at noon showed sales at that time of at least $131,795 worth of “E” bonds against a quota of 3130,000. The feeling of satisfac tion in a job well done is heightened by the facts that few other counties have topped their "E bond goals and that this is just about the worst po» sible time to wage any sort of cam paign in this section. Credit for the achievement is due in large measure to the fine corps of splendid workers and their untiring efforts. Everyone did a swell job, and it is difficult to single any par ticular group for mention. However, it must be noted that the Roper work ers, under the leadership of 1. E. Hassell, were the first to report their community quota realized. To County Chairman T. W. Earle WAwiEXHAUSTION leads Headache-^ Don't let headache double the mis ery of exhaoetion.

Mr F.arle worked night and day to perfect his organi zation, and then drove himself un sparingly throughout the length of the campaign to lend aid and en couragement to the individual can vassers He had some exceptionally able assistance, it is true, but they had an inspiring example in his leadership. An incidental accomplishment was oversubscription of the entire quota by about tslOO.OOO. This was ex pected from the start, however; and most satisfaction is gained from the report of "E " bond sales, upon which the main effort was centered. Once again, the people of Wash ingtn County have met a severe test jin a very praiseworthy manner. Do Your Remember ? By Ruth Taylor This article is addressed to those over forty—to those who remember the last wear. J realized when 1 went to church early on the morning of D-Day how many there are who remember. My fellow worshipers were all of my own age. I felt a close kinship with them because of the reminiscent look on their faces. They, too, were remembering, re membering the cost of war in human lives. The South Pacific—Africa— these are but places on the map to those of us who still think in terms of distances. But the battlefields of France are within our ken. The names of the towns in today's papers are like stations on our way home. This we are going through is no new thing. It is something we know and remember. I have a rendezvous with death.' We remember that cry of youth. We remember the long, black bordered casualty lists that meant the double death of those who went West and to grieving hearts at home. France will always be part of America because of the dead that lie in French soil—soil hallowed anew by the bodies of those who were or should have been their sons. "It's a long way to Tipperary. " The way to the Tipperary of men's dreams of home is still long and for far too many that way will never open again. While popies grow in Flanders Fields—" Can we forget? Alas!— we did forget. We did not pick up the tourch. We let the things they died for be tossed around. We un did their work by our bickering. We listened to subversive enemy inspired propaganda. We allowed ourselves to be divided into groups. We ig nored the fact that they died as Americans and we tried to sort their families and their children by faith and background. As one of our new er poets, Leola Harris, said in the New Vork Sun on Memorial day: 'A\ ith busy tongue, with poison pen. With malice toward our fellow men, We break the bonds you fought to forge." Do we remember? How could we have forgotten the promises we made of a free world—a world made safe for democracy. Shall we again be tray the past? Or will we make of our memories a blazing torch to des troy with its flames the evil doer and | to light the way to peace and hap piness for all the people of all the i earth? Will we remember? Money in Your Trees There's real money in your farm i woodland trees. The money comes when they're cut into savvlogs and ptilpwood. Cash in on those idle woodlands by working in the woods on the many days this summer when weather^! crop contitions keep you out of the fields Turn those extra days and your excess tress into money. .Wk your forester or county i agent about timber markets and what trees to cut. Cut timber but cut it selectively. Your Wood Is Needed Vour wood is needed right now to carry food, munitions, weapons, blood plasma to the the battlefronts. In creased quantities of sawlogs and pulpwood will be required to make boxes, crates and cartons to back the attack in this decisive year. Much of this wood must come from farm timber lands. Your forester or coun ty agent will furnish you with mar keting information and show you how to cut your timber selectively. -@ Roper 'Man Enters Maritime Service -9 Abram Ward Peacock, of Roper.
