The flag of victory may yet fly over the trash
heaps of America. The odds and ends, the
left-overs, the scraps of rubber, the bits of
tin and steel, the old cans, rags, wastepaper,
etc., may help to weigh the scales of war
in our favor.
Therefor, every American, young and old,
should join in salvaging the vital materials
needed for victory. Let us not waste any-
thing today which might have value to-
morrow.

Perhaps the oldest contribution
to the scrap drive in Texas was a
92-year old flat iron given by Mrs.
P. V. Gibson of Amarillo. It be-
longed originally to her grand-
mother in Tennessee.
Hattie, the Heckler
My dear studious students:
It seems as though these puppy
love affairs are all blooming into
the real thipg—for instance—L. C.
Burgett has been looking Jackie
Toland’s way and Wanz Neil Cas-
tle seems to be pretty crazy about
Mary Evelyn Harris. Betty Reber,
was it you I saw hanging in the
window with Cecil Baker the other
day? Elizabeth Kelpen doesn’t
seem to think the Garland boys arc
good enough for her, she has to get
a certain lad from one of the Dal-
las High Schools. Did everyone see
Clyde Hall at the football game
Friday night, he finally came out
of hibernation and what I hear
Nelda was plenty happy.....
Virginia Tresp was at the foot-
ball game, too and as usual Charles
Hayes was taggin’ along right be-
side her. Congratulations Jerre
Evans for your marriage and let
me say happy returns of the day
to both of you. Elsie B. has been
having quite a time with a lad
whose name I’m not permitted to
disclose but maybe I can tell next
time. . . Until next week, Adios.
Love and stuff,
Hattie.
Scrap Drive Still in Progress
“Scrap for Victory” has been
the motto of the high school stu-
dents for the past three weeks and
so far they have collected large
piles of scrap for “Uncle Sam.”
The Salvation Army is helping
the school in transporting the
scrap from Garland to Dallas and
various places. Each little bit they
take fro mthe piles it put on a per-
centage for the class or classes.
The date for the contest to close
has not been set as yet. Even after
the contest closes the classes will
continue gathering scrap.
That motto, “Scrap for. Vic-
tory” is good but it should be
made better by adding one word to
it “More Scrap for Victory.”
War Bonds and Stamps
During the third week of the
War Bonds and Stamps Campaign
sales were considerably lower. For
the third straight week a different
class took .the lead in stamp pur-
chases. This week the juniors in-
vested $3.60 in stampes to lead
the other classes.
Individual sales were:
Seniors, Ida Florence Chiesa,$1.-
30.
Juniors, Tommie Hudson, 60c,
Betty Dickson $2, T. W. Brackett,
70c, Joe Peace, 30c, Shirley Comp-
ton, 20c, Jeanne Morris, 10c,
Frances Bates 40c.

We are proud to announce thaJ
two students, Marita Yarborough
of the sophomore class and Bill.

chased $25.00 war bonds withi

A WEEK OF THE WAR
“A powerful American force,
equipped with adequate weapons
of modern warfare and under
American command, is today land-
ing on the Mediterranean and At-
lantic coasts of the French colo-
nies in Africa,” President Roose-
velt said in a statement issued by
the White House late Nov. 7. This
action “provides an effective sec-
ond front assistance to our heroic
lilies in Russia.”
The U. S. force split into three
parts and struck at Algiers, near
Oran on the Mediterranean coast
of Algeria, and on the Atlantic
coast north and south of Casablan-
ca. The Wart Department stated
late Nov. 8 that the offensive was
advancing rapidly everywhere on
1,600 miles of coast against light
French resistance. Algiers capitu-
lated within 24 hours. The Vichy
government broke off diplomatic
relations, but Secretary of State
Hull said the main purpose of the
Vichy policy of this government
during the past two years was sim-
ply to pave the way for the mili-
tary drive into the Western Med-
iterranean.
“The landing of this American
army is being assisted by the Brit-
ish navy and air forces and it will,
quit your territory at once ... Do
not obstruct . . . this great pur-
pose.”
Lt. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower,
commander of the American forces
in the European theatre, is com-
mander-in-chief of the Allied in-
vasion force. Gen. Eisenhower, in
a broadcast to “Frenchmen of
North Africa,” promised not to at
tack the French themselves, upon
certain conditions. These condi-
tions were specific and he repeated
them many times in his broad-
cast.
Maj. Gen. Lewis M. Brereton's
headquarters in Cairo reported on
Nov. 7 that American fliers shot
down 45 enemy planes against a
loss of six of their own in the
Middle East from Oct. 1 to Nov.
5. In addition, the announcement
said, the U. S. fliers have seriously
damaged an uncalculated number
of tons of enemy shipping and
knocked out a number of tanks and
other motor vehicles.
The Navy announced that at
least 5,188 Japanese, by actual
count, have been killed in three
months of land fighting in the Sol-
omons Islands. Navy Secretary
Knox reported earlier that U. S.
casualties were less than one-fifth
of Japanese losses. The Navy
said 369 Japnese aircraft were de-
stroyed there in October alone. A
Navy communique late Nov. 8
reported the probable sinking of
another Jap cruiser and destroy-
er in the Solomons and said the
advance of American troops east-
ward on Guadlcanal was continu-
ing.

“These Scales Must Be a p
Armistice Day Program
Beginhig at 10 o’clock Wednes-
day morning, Nov. 11, the students
of the high school and elementary
grades and the public enjoyed a
patriotic program commemorating
Armistice Day. The audience first
listened to a radio program of the
ceremonies at the Tomb of the
Unknown Soldier in Arlington
Cemetery, Washington. D. C. The
band, under Mr. Taylor’s direc-
tion, played “Marching Along
With Our Song of Victory.” The
Rev. Peyton Waddill delivered the
invocation. After the band played
“America the Beautiful”, rhe roll
of honor was read. This roll was
composed of those students who
have purchased bonds or stamps
at the school booth since -he cam-
naign began. The audience accom-
panied by the bind, sang “God
Bless America.”
The Dramatic Club, sponsored
by Miss McGown, then presented
thte play, “'Messenger from Wake
Island.” The play was ably de-
livered by the cast and the story
held the audience’s attention
throughout. The tale is of the
dream of an American youth, por-
trayed by Aubrey Houston. As he
sleeps he sees himself on Wake
Island and because he’s profes-
sions of loyalty were so impres-
sive the lieutenant (Herbert Coop-
er) has allowed him to fight. Dur-
ing the battle he is wounded and
because the Japanese are drawing
near, the Marines are forced to
leave him at headquarters as they
retreat to stronger positions The
play ends as he awakens and ex-
presses the Marine's promise’that
they will fight to keep America
free.
After the band playe the Na-
tional Anthem, Don Payne, James
Baker and Grady Burleson sound-
ed Silver Taps to end the program.
Following the program Lieut.
Henry George Smith, the former
coach of Garland, who is here
from Indianapolis, Ind., spoke to
the students.

in the immediate future, be rein-
forced by a considerable number
of divisions of the British army,”
the President stated. “This com-
bined Allied force, in conjunction
with the British campaign in
Egypt, is designed to prevent an
occupation by the Axis armies of
any part of Northern or Western
Africa, and to deny the aggressor
nations in a starting point from
which to launch an attack against
the Atlantic coast of the Ameri-
cans.
“The French government and
the French people have been in-
formed of the purpose of this ex-
pedition, and have been assured
that the Allies seek no territory
and have no intention of interfer-
ing with the friendly French au-
thorities in Africa,” the Presi-
dent’s statement said. “This ex-
pedition will develop into a major
effort by the Allied Nations and
there is every expectation that it
will be successful in repelling the
planned German and Italian in-
vasion of Africa and prove the
first historic step to the liberation
and restoration of France.”
The President told the French
people by radio and by leaflets that
the American forces were going
into their empire as friends, to
“repulse the cruel invaders who
would remove forever your rights
of self-government, your rights to
religious freedom and your rights
to live your own lives in peace
and security. We assure you that
once the menace of Germany and
Italy is removed from you, we shall
only.)

THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS,
Dallas, Texas.
Gentlemen:
Herewith is my remittance of $—
ported that between now and Dec.
1, 1943, industry will need 4,500,-
000 additional workers, and of this
number 3,000,000 will be women.
The office of Defense Transporta-
tion said 180,000 women will get
jobs in the “traditionally male”
industry in the coming months. Ag-
riculture Secretary Wickard said
that success of the farm manpower
program next year would depend
to a considerable extent on the
employment of more women and
girls and older people on the coun-
try’s farms.
War Manpower Chairman Mc-
Nutt said that all major war pro-
duction plants soon will be re-
quired to schedule their manpower
requirements in the same manner
Here’s a little sketch that your
columnist wrote years ago while
editor of a small West Texas
daily:
Dashing over the Broadway of
America from Eastland to Ranger
the other morning, I glimpsed that
fascinating, unending “big pa-
rade” of huge buses; lumbering
trucks; glistening, aristocratic
cars and wheezing antiques of the
automotive world.
There came in sight a queer
group laboriously approaching the
top of a hill.
An old creaking cart. A woman
walking alongside, her face wrink-
led and so smitten by sun and
wind that it was the color of leath-
er. A burro tugging along. And
beside him a man with a rope
around his waist, helping pull the
vehicle.
The man’s face was burned to a
brown that was almost Asiatic. A
coarse stubble covered his chin.
Poverty and suffering were
written in every feature of that
picture—the ancient cart covered
by a flapping canvas; the weary
burro; the worn travelers.
Here was an anachronism. Over
I he million-dollar brick highway,
where gayly go thousands of cars
daily and above which the motors
of airplanes hum, was toiling this
pair in a manner befitting the days
when Daniel Boone was fighting
the Indians.
This plodding pair—where were
they going? Were there relatives
in the West where a welcome
awaited? Were they bound for the
Plains of Texas or for California,
which they may have, heard of as
lands of opportunity and wealth
for all? Or were they following a
wander urge that carried them un-
resting across deserts, valleys and
mountain ranges? What were they
getting out of life? Did they smile
and laugh as do other people who
have homes definite niches in this
world ?
Through what experience did
they pass in all those years from
prattling childhood to the moment
that they came toiling up that
hill, and through what experiences
will they pass as they travel broad
highways and narrow byways that
stretch on perhaps to the end of
their days?
In fiction, the writer tells us
what was home before and then
carries the creatures of his imagi-
nation to the climax that leaves
them with assured places in the
world. But, in life, we view a
scene for an instant, as though re-
vealed by a flash of lightning at
night. Darkness precedes. Dark-
ness follows.
