Page 12 THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNiaINEER Roosevelt Warns That America Is Not Doing Enough In This War "We are not doing enugh," said the President, and he added, "in this war it is kill or be killed." In this "toughest war of all time" we are going to have to get down to brass tacks and turn the brass tacks into bombs and bullets. " To an extent we have been doing this, but now the need is terribly urgent and materials scarce. Now we must have war goods in greater volume than ever and in a shorter time. Our enemies don't wait. Steel mills, eating up almost five million tons of scrap metal a month, are running on almost a day-today basis. We are dangerously short of copper, tin, and other non ferrous metals. That's why our school children 30 million of them are being enlisted to comb our homes, back yards, and farmyards for scrap to food the steel giants. That's why our kitchens must shower down old tin cans by the million so that we can reach our goal of 3,000 tons of household tin a year recovered in 17 new "detinning" plants. That's why we must save waste fats and greases, turn in the half billion pounds we have been asked to sal vage. These fats would help make enough bombs to crippleAhe Ger- THOSE EXTRA POINTS that count . . . in baking powder as in football!

Last year our production of all wire coat hangers, if made into military barbed wire, would have girded the earth six and one-half times. We shall not be making wire hangers this year. Labor Problem Still Paramount To do all that we must do to stop the Axis hordes, merely to get enough skilled workers and fighting men for this gigantic job, is going to be a tough business for all of us. In 116 of 1G0 critical war production areas there are ser ious labor shortages, and in all these areas there are shortages of some kinds of skilled workers. Employment in the automotive in dustry, now making weapons, has passed the 800,000 mark but not until it absorbs another 600,000 workers will the industry have reached peak production. Farmers Riding High Farmers, on the whole, haven't found the going tough so far except for the shortage of labor. They're buying more goods and making more property improve ments than at any time since the unlucky boom d(jys of the last war. Yet that very fact should give them pause. Inflated war prices not only handicap the whole war program, but endanger post-war security. With tobacco, wool, and all meats bringing prices far above parity, producers might well recall the tragic slump which followed the last war-created "prosperity." Government Cracks Down On Sabotage Of Price Control In its unending battle against the Fifth 'Column threat of infla tion, of high living costs, the Gov ernment is cracking down on sabo tage of price control, illegal trad ing (the "black markets"), rent gougers in war-boom towns, dis honest grading of meats, other war time trickery. Mor Products Taken Out Of General Circulation As we cut deeper into the war economy, unexpected values are attached to the commonest pro ducts and by-products corn cobs and oat hulls, (sources of solvent known as fiirfurol), plastics, drugs, and dyes. Some of these must be reserved strictly for war uses, others have been brought into bal- Bethel News Five Deacons were ordained in the Baptist Church Sunday night at eight o'clock.

Building lumber is so scarce that we shall be using bricks and tile for even temporary structures.

State Selective Service Adopts A New Policy The state director of ths selec tive service has notified the local Jraft board of a new policy under which the selective service system will cooperate with the U. S. em ployment service in the location of men with special qualifications which lit them for essential activi ties which contribute to the war effort. Under this policy, whenever lo cal boards ascertain from infor mation provided by the registrant, his employer, or his occupational questionnaire, that a particular registrant possesses the qualifica tions to engage in an essential activity and at the time is not so employed, the name of such a registrant will be referred to the local office of the U. S. employ-, ment service. If a man is so qualified and in active work he will receive special consideration from the draft board in his classification, and if he is not located in such activity, the board will proceed to classify him on the basis of his being engaged in a non-essential work. The primary purpose of this policy is the location of men with special training, skills or qualifi cations which fit them for em ployment in war production work or in an essential activity contri buting to the war effort, so that such men may be used to replace men without similar qualifications who are now engaged in said acti vities and to move men with special skills from non-essential activities to essential work. Employers who interfere with or advise against placement in war p roduction or essential activities contributing to the war effort will be reported, as will also the men who have special skills and refuse to accept employment in war pro duction work. The two billion pounds of grease and fats wasted annually in the U. S. would make glycerine for about 613,800 tons of dynamite to grease skids for the Axis.
