ON HOME
FRONT
Father inductions will be limit-
ed mostly to replacements with
slim chances of seeing actual fight
ing. . . Output of farm machinery
will be doubled in '44 with unlim-
ited manufacture of parts. . . Steel
is no longer a critical material. . .
Increased allowances to dependents
of servicemen is being considered.
. . . Lease-lend food to Britain
may be curtailed in the near fu-
ture. . . Fewer rationing com-
plaints show that we are adjust-
ing ourselves to war regulations.
. . . We are now turning out a
plane every five minutes around
the clock. . . Chaplains report a
deeper, more abiding religion on
the battle front than on the home
front. . . Inflation would be an
economic Pearl Harbor on the
home front, more destructive than
a military repetition. . . Petro-
leum production is now averaging
4,600,000 barrels daily—with Tex-
as the biggest producer. . . 60%
of every cargo going across is
petroleum.. . War spending is like-
ly to fall one-third during 1944.
The War At A Glanoe—
The best information that can
be obtained relative to American
soldiers, wiio are prisoners of the
Japanese, indicates that 10% of
these prisoners have died. It can-
not be ascertained whether the
treatment afforded them was the
entire cause of this abnormally
high percentage of deaths, since
we do not know the physical con-
dition of these brave American
boys when they were captured. It
is known that some of them were
suffering from fever, malnutrition
and exposure before being captur-
ed and were, therefore, in very
poor physical condition, but it is
not known the number in that con-
dition. . . The new Allied satura-
tion bombing technique destroys
huge areas rather than specific
targets. . . Possibility of a German
collapse is speeding Roosevelt-
Churchill for a more definite under
standing with Russia. . . There
are really four Allied fronts in
Europe now—the Russian, the sub
marine, the aerial and the Italian.
. . . MacArthur's Pacific offen-
sive is crushing Japan's outer de-
fenses beyond hope of recapture.
. . . Restored strength in an un-
conquered Germany would mean
another global war in 25 years. . .
From Allied bases in Italy, the Ru-
manian oil fields will be bombed
to destroy Germany's oil supply.
. . . Congress only provides the
funds—the military men decide
the strategy of the war. . . De-
vastated agricultural regions in
war zones must be restored first
to produce food. . . Allied successes
may encourage Turkey to open the
Dardanelles for direct Russian re-
lief through the Black Sea. . . The
Allied timetable is based on total
defeat of the Axis—not internal
collapse. . . U. S. war production
for 1944 will be stepped up 21 per
cent—in planes for war over 50
per cent. . . About 1500 years ago
when the Germans sacked Rome,
they were called Huns; their di-
rect lineal decendants who will a-
gain desecrate the city in a few
days, are called Nazis.
of the people, who want to buy
land with their savings after the
war, are coming South and West
and particularly to Texas, where
assessments are relatively low, the
sun shines all winter and living
is most healthful in America.
They are coming to Texas because
they have faith in the future of
Texas industrially. Texas leads
the Nation in diversity of soil, cli-
mate and growth of population,
it is possible that Texas will have
a majority of all the Representa-
tives in Congress in 75 years.
Texas leads the Nation in pro-
duction of oil, gas, cotton, cattle
and sulphur. It has more Army
posts and air fields than any
other State.
There will be an influx of land
purchasers in Texas after the war,
mostly from the East where as-
sessments are high, the land is
old and unproductive, and rigor-
ous winters and over-populated
conditions make a change desir-
able. Post-war land buying may
assume the proportions of another
"Florida boom." Decentralized in-
dustry in New England will come
to Texas where raw materials are
plentiful and good American labor
is obtainable. Here workers may
have homes, gardens, orchards,
poultry and dairy cows to occupy
their time three days a week,
yhile improved machinery in the
factory turns out market demands
the other three days.
This means a good citizenship
living a sane church religion.
We do not need propaganda to
sell Texas. It has already sold
itself, and after the war, it will
be at premium. The eyes of Ameri
ca are upon Texas as a place of
happiness, prosperity and security
—not in the future, but NOW.

Texas Offers Security—
The soil is the basis of all se-
curity and all wealth. The only
man who is a real king upon this
earth is the man who owns a piece
of God's soil. His kingdom extends
to the center of the earth below
and to the heavens above. A sur-
vey shows that about 70 per cent
Federal License Required—
Every person or concern selling
commodities or services under the
Price Control Act is required to
have a Federal license. If a vio-
lator is convicted in either a State
or Federal court, the offender's
license may be suspended for 12
months. A license suspension may
be applied to one particular item
under price control, like gasoline
or meat. The suspension in such
cases closes the doors of the viola-
tor for 12 months. A suspension
order from an OPA enforcement
hearing commissioner, may be ap-
pealed to the courts. The licens-
ing order does not apply to far-
mers.

Children Did You Know?—
Did you know that rescue dogs
! are wearing shoes. The importance
of their work, demands their best
| care. These rescue dogs race a-
(cross battle fields and locate
j wounded men, return to their train
ers and then lead the stretcher
| bearers to the injured men. The
dogs get their feet cut, so little
J boots are provided for them. Sets
of four. Hundreds of them. That
I is wise and kind.

IOU CAN SEE when traffic jams a highway
or people stand in the aisles of a train.
But you can't tell when Long Distance
lines are crowded by looking at a tele
phone.
When they are, the operator will say—
44Please limit your call to 5 minutes. Others
are waiting,
That's a mighty good rule for these
days. Helps you. Helps us. Helps the war.
Our Chaplains Are Service Men—
Chaplain Albert Loy Thomas, of
336 Bombardment Group, Avon I
Park, Florida, declares that he be
lieves he gets more calls to help i
men with their problems in a week
in his present work, than he would
receive in possibly a year in an j
average pastorate. This is comfort j
ing to loved ones at home, to know |
that our boys in service find help I
and comfort in calling upon our
Chaplains. God bless these men |
who stand for God and for our
Honey For The Orphanage—
J. M. Willson, Floydada, Texas,
sent 3 cases of honey to the orphan
age at Waco. Wasn't that a sweet
gift from this fine man?
Many boys reared in this Home
are writing back from far flung
battle lines. One writes, "No mat-
ter where duty takes me, my
thoughts will always tend toward
our Home. A soldier some where
in Africa sends a check for $50.00,
and one from Western Defense
Command, Fort Lewis, sends
$25.00, "That this great Home may
carry on the good work."
Rev. Nielson Transferred—
The transfer of Rev. Howard
Nielson back to his home confer-
ence—brings deep regret to the
churches of Queen City charge,
and many other friends that he
has made since coming to this
work.
Rev. Nielson came from Iowa
conference to complete his semin-
ary years in Southern University,
Dallas. He has filled several ap-
pointments as he was completing
his work. He accepted Queen City
charge, when the break in confer-
ence year came, due to the going
away of Rev. House. But when
his conference met 2 weeks ago
the call was so insistent that he
returned. There are his early in-
terest, besides his mother, father,
brothers and sisters, and urgent
call of his conference. So we ac-
cept this decision of Rev. Nielson,
in deep appreciation of him, as a
truly spirit filled man, a good
preacher and a splendid pastor.
