WHY WE ARE WINNING l’p to now the full story of the development amt produe tion of 100 octane aviation gasoline has been a military secret Hut at last some breathtaking statistics are .being ieteased. Following are a few of them: I One thousand 1 engine bom hers u-e I.noo.imhi gallon' ot inn octane gasoline on a b-houi mi "ion a. In .lannury. 1942, only 22 leiiueiies were producing 100 octane gasoline nr components of 100 octane 1 here are now more lha’n IIJIJ. I'piled States and Caribbean refiners are supplying to day Ss; pel cent of the 100 octane gasoline used by the l'nited Nations. 1. To train one pilot requires consumption of ft!..".mi gallons of aviation gasoline. a. One thousand 4-engine bombers, flying to an objective l,non miles away, and using 100 octane gasoline, can carry 5, 000.000 more pounds of bombs than could he carried it ordin ary pre-war aviation gasoline were used. u. | no octane gasoline was specifically developed for com T. 1110 octane gasoline was a laboratory curiosity (is recent ly us lO.'i.'l. at which time its cost would hare been S 11> a gallon The first ion octane sale, made to the Army in l'd-'M. w;i- at $2 a gallon. Today 101) oetaile gasoline is being bought by the government at less than lb cents a gallon. These are a lew of the achievements of a single industry ill wartime America. The cold figures describe better than glow-' ing phrases the value of unrestricted individual initiative; the kind that built the oil industry and now brings victory within out grasp TAX BARGAINS Americans have always had a reputation tor seeing- the tun ny side of things—-even vei-y serious thins--. That's why most of us can laugh at the story of the man who went bargain huntings among internal revenue advisers to get the best figures he could on what he actually owed the government income tax. As we heard the story the hist adviser told him that he owed the government fStiO. the second said that he owed over $20ll and the third, after looking over the ^iuc data presented to the other two. figured that he was entitled to a $.'10 refund. It makes a good story's hut it also throws the limelight "it a situation which should not be allowed to exist in our coun try. If the men trained to figure income taxes are totally unable to get the right answers, how can an untrained wage earner hope to tile a correct income tax return'.' It is high time that Congress takes this tax business out of the realm of higher mathematics and writes a new. simple tax law which we can all understand. It's had enough to .have to pay the big taxes which wo are obligated to pay these days without having to shut our eyes and try to figure what we owe by guesswork. FINAL EFFORT "The war began a long while ago. I am getting fed up with the thing. 1 think it is nearly time we finished it.” Although many of us have felt jusr that way. we should he cautious about malting such a statement because it would make others feel that we were lacking in the stamina and the willingness to make sacrifices which are necessary to as sure victory. But the above quotation happens to be from General Sir Bernard Montgomery. commander of the British ground forces in the invasion command. Coming from him we know it has nothing to do with weakness but expresses a confidence in bringing about the unconditional surrender of our enemies in a comparatively short time. The geeral made this statement to the troops in his com mand in order to stimulate them to the greatest possible ef fort when the invasion begins. And the statement was released to the people—not a- a cue for them to relax in their war work and sit on the sidelines watching for a quick victory—blit t-o inspire them to join in a really all-out. final effort to overwhelm our enemies by record production of arms and equipment. I^eai) Year SuaxufM Parenltiood DON’T TAKE OUT GRUDGES ON YOUR CHILDREN This is ;• report on a conver sation overhaul'll between a fath ei and his daughter. 1 do not apologize for my eavesdropping ! for the father htid picked so pub 1 lie a place for his lecture that 1 couldn’t have avoided hearing it. j That was m fact his most g-riev i ous error in dealing with the 1 girl-—choosing a restaurant for a i scolding, one where the tables I were so close together that he : an si have known and surely the I humiliated girl knew, that others ! could hear What was lie upbraiding her for. Well, she was a young col lege girl about to leav * for school after the Christmas vacation at home, and her father, as his part ing paternal duty, was calling to her attention that she had wast ed much valuable time during the holidays. He had her sins of i mission and commission neatly catalogued in lvis mind and he reded them olf from A to Z A She htid spent too much [ time getting ready for bed tit night. Tins, iu“ pointed out. had i een a great fault of her moth er's, one that had caused him much loss of 3ieep. All this fool f ing with cosmetics and hair I flushing was silly, acfordmg to | this precise parent Any effici j flit person should be able to get heady for bed in 15 minutes, ac cording to him. Now, as a mat I tei of fact, a girl who plans u business career might as well make up her mind that she will have to spend almost an hour at night in preparation for a well igroomed appearance at the office next day. Business demands that ' nails he carefully manicured, I hair brushed and trained so it I will stay neat all day. skin im ' maculate. clothes pressed 1 1 could scarcely refrain from tell ing the father that his daughter's i grooming, which was exquisite, was as much of a business asset as knowledge of a slide rule. 11. For the slide rule, it seem ed, was the father's greatest dis appointment His daughter had asked him how to use one and then she had gone to parties and had dates and hadn’t practiced with the slide rule. “If you hail put your mind to it," he scolded “you could have become profici ent with the slide rule during vacation " No laughter at the > ear’s most festive season, no learning to be at ease with the bovs. no raids on the ice box with the grateful feeling “This i is mv home — I can invite my I friends and they'll be welcome’’ |-—without these in a young per I son's life what profit the rnas jtery of the slide rule! ( . Her telephone conversa tions hud been too long, too re petitious, and "after all the vis its you had with Bunny what could vou have to say to her on the phone—’’ Ah, me, what fath er hasn't writhed over adolescent phone jabber! But this father made a crime of it —- how can | anything he really wicked which seems as necessary to a teen ager as breathing— Think back, fathers ami mothers too, to those giggly phone conversations of your own youth Waste of time— without t doubt, but somehow one of the steps in becoming a social being. Mind you. we aren’t criticiz ing this father for giving his daughter what was probably well meant and carefully thought-out advice But into each word he put his own bitterness against the girl’s mother, his own disap pointment that the world didn’t appreciate slide rules So long as parents take out their grudges on children how can we expect understanding between the gen erations— And now, as never before, we need Just that. LIFE’S BETTER WAY WALTER E. 1SENHOUR hiddenite n c HOW ABOUT YOUR SOUL? Amid th<‘ tasks, toils, duties and responsibilities ol lilt'; amid \oiii' carelessness, your pleasures, vour frivolity, your mdirterence; amidst your evils, sins, iniquity and wickedness; amidst youl aims, plans, purposes. achieve mints, success; or amidst your failures blunders and downfalls, how about your soul'.' What at tention are you iiivinp; it.' Do you ever stop to think that \ou have a soul? And do you ever think about your soul s salvation or damnation? Remember that you are lacing (ioci at the bar of divine reck oning, or will fact* Him just out in tin- future. Remember also that you have a soul that you shall have to {jive an account ot when you meet Him. Ifon’t for get that you will also meet Gotl with the life you have lived, whethei it be good or bad, right or wrong, clean or unclean, god ly or wicked. Just as you live and die Judgment will find you. How much will you he profited if you gain the world, or much of it. and then lose your precious All youi money, your pleasures | in evil, sin and wickedness will profit you nothing when you stand in the presence of the , Judge of all the earth. In fact, ■such will condemn you. Whatever may he your achievement in life or whatever may he your position if you neglect your soul's salva tion. you will stand conlemned when you face the Lord alter this life. Instead of giving so much to the temporal affairs of life, and going on carelessly through the world, you had better stop and think of eternity and the wel fare or damnation of your soul. “The soul that sinneth, it shall die." tEzekiel IX:3). 0 what a solemn, awful statement! Sinner, backslider. indifferent, careless matt or woman, boy or girl, that means you. Better give atten tion to your soul while you have the time and opportunity. To j morrow may he too late. We know not what a 'day may bring forth. Today is the dav of salva t ion “I’rocrastmation is trie thief of time." This thief is rob ! hinp millions of heav'en and send* intr them to a devil's hell. If you miss heaven you have missed all I that is worth while in eternity. O dear reader come to Jesus! He I savs, "Him that eometh to* me 1 ) will in no wise cast out." (John ! 6:37)Hut Jesus savs again that |you should come to Him that you mav have life. Say. it is up to vou The wav you choose to live j is the wav vou shall die. What I about your immortal soul'.’ Where 1 will you inhabit eternity?
