TALKING to a man who said he
■was employed in a SYNTHETIC
RUBBER PLANT, somewhere in
Texas, lie said he was working and
producing synthetic rubber as fast
as they were allowed to. He main-
tained that if all the Synthetic
Rubber plants in the U. S. were
run full blast and allowed to pro-
duce to their capacity, we would
have all the rubber we need for
war purposes; all the rubber we
need for necessary transportation,
and last but not least, ALL THE
RUBBER V5E NEED for the cars
now on the road for business and
pleasure as well.
It seemed to be his idea that
rubber plants are held down and
not allowed to run full capacity
because the rubber Czars don't want
more rubber produced. They tell
you when, where and what. See?
Don't you remember when Sena-
tor O'Daniel visited Texas and had
many complimentary remarks to
make about Synthetic Rubber plants
in Texas? He told us that we are
going to have rubber and lots of it,
and we believed him, and he was
honest in all he said. Now, what
surprised this editor more than any-
thing else, was that when Senator
O'DANIEL came home from Wash-
ington, D. C. and made a whirl-
wind campaign for re-election to
the U. S. Senate, he NEVER MEN-
TIONED SYNTHETIC RUBBER, at
a time when people were on their
toes about a probable losing their
tires because such rubber was re-
quired by the Government for war
purposes. Can't you see that such'
a subject would have been the liv-
est of anything our Senator could
have talked about? To advocate
something favoring Synthetic Rub-
ber plants would have made him
thousands of votes by people who
wanted to run their cars for plea-
sure as well as for business pur-
poses. Not a single candidate—and
there were three of them in the
race for the U. S. Senate—mention-
ed favoring the pushing of syn-
thetic rubber plants all over the
USA. You know why? Your guess

this distance it looks to ia like
to have made a on this
subject meant thousands of more
votes for the man who advocated

MONEY said "hands off", that's a
horse of another color. #
U.S. SENATOR O'DANIEL SATS:
"It is my honest opinion that the
resignation of Price Administrator
Leon Henderson will bring no Im-
provement in the deplorable prlce-
txing and rationing mess. Without
!oubt another yes-man will take
'is place and do as bad a Job or
perhaps worse.
"It is the system that is wrong
more than the personnel. The sys-
tem ia so fundamentally unsound
'hat it will fall of its own weight
as did NRA. The crumbling has
started. The complete collapse is
inevitable. Unnecessary price-fixing,
rationing and regimentation Is a
-ommunlstlc philosophy which an
ntelligent American citizenship is
■iot yet ready to have crammed
iown their throats by Washington
Bureaucrats. The patriotic citizens
if this nation, in order to win this

last dollar and to the last man. but
they are not willing to sacrifice
heir liberty or their freedom to
lictators at home anymore than
hey are willing to sacrifice their
iberty and freedom to dictators a-
broad. If the new Congress which
'onvened January 6th will discard
iur present weak-kneed socialistic
jolicy of dividing up what we have
ind substitute an unrestricted pro-
gram of production so that our
thrifty, production-minded citizen-
hip may produce to their maxi-
mum capacity, unhampered by res-
trictive laws or by Washington Bu-
reaucratic Dictators, rationing will
become almost wholly unnecessary,
post-war inflation fears will sub-
side, and an earlier Victory over

Under the new tax laws of 1942.
every person buying and selling
nerchandise of any kind must file
in income tax report if their gross
income amounts to $500 if single
ind $1200 if married. This new law
ipplies to even the smallest dealers.
Uso, it is necessary to keep a per-
nanent book record for the year
1943 covering all sales, costs, ex
lenses, etc.. necessary for prepar-
ing an income tax report. Also re-
cords are required to be kept for
he new Victory Tax for every em-
ployee receiving more than $12 per
week. This record must be kept and
x report must be made to the Gov-
ernment after each quarter even
though you employ only one person
jarning more than $12 a week.
The Whiteley Company of Easton.
Maryland furnishes a complete re-
cord book for a years record cover-

THE WORD BCOAMB PUSH
This refers to the birth of Jeeus
rhe Gospel writers and others tell
is of the virgin birth. This was
absolutely necessary. If both of Hit
>arents had been human, He would
lave been a weak sinner who would
have needed some one to save Him
instead of being the Saviour of the
world. Modernistic theologians seek
to make Him merely a "good" man
Instead of divine. The Bible does
not say "the flesh became Word,"
but the very opposite. On the other
nand, if He were entirely Spirit,
ve could r.ot have seen Him with
•hese eyes of ours. The only way
would be for Christ to be both God
and man, so He "became flesh and
dwelt among us," and men beheld
the glory of One living in a human
jody who had all wisdom and all
power and living a sinless life.
Others in the past have made
lalm to a virgin birth, but they
.vere ordinary sinners like any one
■lse of human parentage. But Jesus
nade good the claim the Bible
makes for Him by being all that a
Hvine Being should be as well as
iving a life without sin. #

STATE OP TEXAS |
COUNTY OF' ARMSTRONG | ss:
I, B. C. Wooldridge. President ol the above-named bank, do solemnly
awear that the above statement is true to the best of my knowledge and
belief.
B. C. WOOLDRIDOE, President,
Now it is announced that all of
he retail businesses would be kept
n operation, with the big firms
""ins forced to divide their stocks
vlth the small firms. That is
"elief to local men who have spent
i lifetime building up an institution
vhich would be of service to the
community.
Just one year ago The News
Minted an editorial on "The Little
3uy," which received considerable
'avor. In the light of the announce-
lient from Washington, it is well
:o reprint this item, which follows:
What distinguishes this country
rom the other great nations of the
world? There are many possible
answers to that question. And
Here's one of the best: "The United
States Is the country where the
little guy is boss—where the little
?uy can go as far as his energies
ind ambitions allow—where the lit-
le guy doesn't have to bow and
crape to anyone."
Little guys made this country
They came here from everywhere
to establish freedom and escape
tyranny. They landed in a wilder-
iess. They were often cold and
lungry. They seldom became rich,
3ut they kept the faith. They
milt the homes and cleared the
'and and raised the children. They
ought the wars of the past, just
is they are fighting this war. The
ittle guys are proud and strong
■nd confident of the future, and
he great land in which we live is
heir gift to us, the little guys of
he present.
Little guvs built the industries of
his country. They saved a few
iollars arid put them into a store
or a bank or a factory of some
kind.
They took chances. Much of th?
time they lost, but that didn't dis-
may them. They saved a few more
dollars and took new chances Thev
didn't laugh when some visionary
came along with an idea the wise-
icres said was obviously insane—
the telephone, for instance, or the
automobile, or a plan for lighting
homes with electricity. There
might be something in it. they
thought, and they played the long
-hot. For the visionaries with the
ideas were the same kind of people
—little guys trying to get ahead,
little guys trying to build and
create. And some of them went
from shacks to mansions in a year
or two, and a year or two later
were back in the shacks starting a-
gain. They always started again. It
was in their blood, their bone, their
character. The little guys didn t
give up.
All of this country is a monument
to the little guy. All of our indus-
tries, our farms, our homes, our
resources—the little guys did the
work. They went into the oil fields
and brought out the black gold,
th •' dug in the earth and gave us
our coal and metals, A few became
famous, but the millions remained
unknown. They worked and died in
obscurity, but this country Is an
everlasting monument to their
deathless spirit which lives on.
That is the ideal we Americans
must always keep in mind—Amer-
ica must be a place where the little
guy is king. Where enterprise is
the little guy's kind of enterprise-
he can go into any kind of business
he wants, invest his savings in what
ever he wants, and lick the com-
petitors to a frazzle if he is able to.
The government belongs to him—
he doesn't belong to the govern-
ment. The little guy made America
and today he is perpetuating Amer-
ica. And tomorrow he must be the
symbol of America. — The Canyon

METHODIST PASTOR—IN
LAST WEEK'S BULLETIN
This is the first Sunday in the
New Year. What do you contem-
plate for the future? How about
your church for 1943? Suppose we
double our efforts and make the
new year the best we have ever
had? Fifty-two Sundays in the year.
Would It not be a wonderful re-
cord if we made them all for the
Church? Lets try, what do ye say?
Its not a bad idea to keep your
eye on the Church budget. That
means YOU. Where your treasure
is there your heart will (you) be
also. You are doing well—keep It up
The pastor will have a full sup-
ply of excellent Bibles and Testa-
ments soon. You may look them
over.

evening? 7:45 p. m Bring a friend

Bill Shepherd, bless his old heart,
came in Saturday md said he saw
by the Press that we'd take taws
for subscriptions ard that when he
dug, h - would br'ng In some to re-
new. Friend Bill, that's not all we'll
accept on subscription. Most any
thing that folks can eat is always
acceptable the same as money on
subscriptions to the Press. We have
plenty of milk and butter at our
ranch but the hens know that eggs
are four bits and scarce, so we have
no eggs. Been eating the store-
bought syrup for months and the
boy asks nearly every day, "Dad,
when are you gonna get some good
syrup on subscription?" Yes, Sir!
anything that will stave off the
pangs of hunger for man or beast,
is highly acceptable and appreciat-
ed on subscription. (Corrlgan Press)
When I was born, my father was
running the Banner In Piggott,
Ark., and the subscribers used to
pay up with different products. One
man who had the only pear or-
chard in the county used to pay his
subscription with a bushel of pears.
My father sold the paper, we came
to Texas and he died when I was
12. Years later. I went back to Pig-
gott, bought the Banner and ran
it for a year—and that same man
came in with a bushel of pears to
pay for another 12 months. His
hair was gray and his form sorter
stooped—but the pears were just
as luscious as they were when I
was a little fellow.
The greatest editor in the South
of his day was C. P. J. Mooney of
•he Memphis Commercial Appeal.
While he never took apples or roast-
ing ears for subscriptions, he did
lo something pretty nearly the
ame—he swapped news space in
his big city newspaper for food,
tinda. It was this way:
One day a farmer came in with
i very fine, large turnip and gave
t to Mr. Mooney. He wrote a few
ines about it in the paper A few-
lays later, another farmer came
in with a turnip that was bigger—
so Mr. Mooney wrote that up And.
sir, so many farmers came in with
so many big turnips (all of which
the editor mentioned in the paper)
thai he got enough turnips to las'
all winter!
The people of Texas are indig-
nant at the five-day Christmas
iven to State employees.
Transportation systems are so
heavily loaded that they are ap-
pealing to pleasure travelers to stay
at home and the national govern-
ment is urging that unnecessary
civilian travel be stopped at this
time so that troop movements will
not be interfered with and so that
soldiers and sailors on leave can
get back for a visit with their fa-
thers and mothers.
And in the face of all this, our
Austin bureaucrats not merely pas-
sively refuse to cooperate with the
war effort but actually fly in the
face of it by turning loose hund-
reds and hundreds of State em-
ployees. Now if they didn't go any-
where but just stayed down there
in Austin, they might about as well
have remained on the job and given
the public some service while con-
tinuing to draw their salaries from
the tax-payers. And if they crowd-
ed on already overloaded trains
and busses so as to enjoy five days
back in the old home town, then
the appeal of our nation's comman-
der-in-chief was being ignored.
All of this in the midst of an
all-out war for the very existence
of our nation.

WAR I'ROnrCTION
As for U. S. war production,
Chairman Nelson said that in 1943
this country expects to produc a
bout twice as many arms as were
produced in 1942, spending better
than $90,000,000,000 for war as com
pared to 1942's $52,000,000,000. Nov-
ember armament production show-
ed the greatest monthly gain since
the U S. began to rearm in the
summer of 1940—four and one-
third times more war materiel turn-
ed out than in the month before
the Jap attack on Pearl Harbor
Mr. Nelson gave the box score of
November war production (over Oct-
ober>, airplanes up 18 percent; or-
dnance. up 13 percent: Army and
Navy vessels, up 9 percent; mer-
chant vessels, up 26 percent and
other munitions, up 9 percent.
Special attention has been given
to the items most needed in the
type ol warfare now being waged
in North Africa, with outstanding
gains recorded in the output of
single-engine pursuit planes, med-
ium bombers, smaller transport
planes, navy fighters, and in pro-
duction of the self-propelled guns
used In tank watfare.
Right now tlie U. S. is turning
out enough rifle and machine gun
ammunition each month to fire 83
rounds at each individual soldier
in the Axis armies. In one year of
war, production of small arms am-
munition has increased 550 percent
—and it is still going up.
Backing up our production of
finished war materiel is our pro-
duction of metals and minerals. A
year-end report from the Bureau
of Mines announces that in 1942
we produced more metals and min-
erals than in any year of our his-
tory. Estimated value of all mineral
products was $7 525,000,000—a re-
cord figure that tops the 1941 level
by 10 percent. #
be serious trouble there Much of
the food earmarked for that area
by Lend-Lease has arrived, but
much more is needed.
Meanwhile, the U. S. is arming
Gen. Oiraud's French African army
as fast as possible. Allied Comman-
der-in-Chief Eisenhower said planes
have already been delivered to
Giraud's air force and more planes
and tanks are on the way. Also
French forces fighting with the
Allied army are being reinforced
and re-equipped. President Roose-
velt said that Inasmuch as the U.
S. is attempting to get supplies to
all the fighting forces of the Un-
ited Nations, the crux of the North
African supply situation is the ques-
tion of shipping, jt
A WEEK OF THE WAR
New Year's Day, 1943. marked
the first anniversary of the forma-
tion of the United Nations In his
first press conference of the new
year, President Roosevelt recalled
the world situation that existed
one year ago when 3d nations
rest. Secretary of State Hull said bound together by the universal
Gen. Giraud's leadership "will go ideals of the Atlantic Charter, sign-
far to assure the common victory I ed the United Nations' declaration

RELATIONS IN NORTH AFRICA
A communique from the office of
Gen. Giraud, French high commis-
sioner, said no attempts to divide
the French people in North Africa
will be tolerated. The communique,
explaining that steps had been
taken to insure tranquility behind
the fighting lines, said most per-
sons had accepted the recent deve-
lopments calmly but a small ele-
ment had been trying to cause un-
fident mat Gen. Giraud would con-
tinue the splendid cooperation the
French are now giving U. S. forces
In North Africa.
President Roosevelt expects to
confer soon with Gen. Charles De
Gaulle, but has already discussed,
with a mission from Gen. Giraud.
the question of supplies for French
troops. Elmer Davis and Milton
Eisenhower of the Office of War
Information told a press conference
that unless substantial quantities
of food and clothing arrive in North

Today the unity achieved by these
29 signatory powers Is bearing rich
fruit. The United Nations, said tlie
President, are passing from the de-
fensive to the offensive, ever con-
scious. however, of the supreme ne-
cessity of planning what is to come
after, of carrying forward into
peace the comirion effort which will

Axis economic strength and weak-
ness was outlined in a "beginning-

Milo Perk in;, executive director of
the Board of Economic Warfare.

in shipping is now within reach of"
a powerful and intrenched economic
position. The ability of the Axis
powers to support defensive war-
