Mr. President, when our Na-
tion is in peril and our brave
sons are fighting and dying on
the battle fronts to save Ameri-
ca, the badge of American citi-
zenship gives nobody the right to
strike on the home front. It
seems to me that instead of en-
acting -x national-service law and
gutting our entire civilian popu-
lation In uniform and giving each
of them a number, as is done
In Communistic nations, In order
to stop a few racketeering labor
bosses from nailing r.trikes which
slow down our war effort, it
would be more simple to pass a
law which provides the same pen-
alty for anybody who goes on
strike in wartime as that which
applies to our soldier boys who
would go on strike on the battle-
Held.
The- Congress of the United
States has the exclusive right to
enact laws to govern our people.
We have enacted laws to stop
jacking, and providing penalties
murdering, kidnapping, and high-
severe enough to discourage peo-
ple from committing such acts.
Why, when our boys are dying
on foreign battlefields to defend
and preserve our Nation, do we
fall to enact laws which would
prevent strikes and slow-downs in
factories producing the weapons
our lighting men need for the
the saving of our Nation?—U. S.
protection of their very lives and
Sen. W. Lee O'Daniel.

standing and suppression. For-
tunately as back then, mankind
on the whole, refuses to have his
faith in justice, tolerance and
goodness, destroyed. So must we
remember that when Jefferson was
picked to draw up the Declara-
tion of Independence, the com-
position didn't find the unqual-
ified approval of the whole com-
mittee or the lawyers of con-
gress, as they worked on the ma-
terial at hand itfid altered words
and phrase for three days while
Thomas Jefferson prayed, in wait-
ing, that the force of his argu-
ment would not be lost as it was
not. His words still remain as
music, his phrases still stand as
law. All day on a July 4th Con-
gress debated and by evening had
reached a decision, all members
present signing this doctrine, that
these truths of equality, life, lib-
erty and the pursuit of happiness
should forever live. This alone
is very simple, simply stated,
lived simply and simply enough
for us to die for!

NOTHING DONE TO LEWIS OR
UNION FOR HALTING WAR
WORK
New York—Mark Sullivan, the
Washington journalist, has been
plontlng out the similarity of
the cases of Montgomery Ward
and John L Lewis, both cf whom
refused to sign contracts covering
union relations, and the dissimi-
larity of their treatment by the
National government, particularly,
by President Roosevelt. Montgom-
ery Ward was seized by the Army
and Sewell Avery was carried cut
ot his office bodily, but, although
Lewis, by his refusal, had tied up
war production, as Montgomery
Ward had not, nothing was done
to him or his union.—Menard
News.
IT seems that the U. S. Su-
preme Court brought out very
forcefully "the rulers" of the peo-
ple. This editor always believed
that those elected to office, were
representatives of the people and
not "rulers". That such represen-
tatives elected by the people were
servants of the people and not
"rulers". However, during the past
several months, such representa-
tives, or elected parties; through
their Bureaus and Bureaucratic
rule, have proved themselves "ru-
lers" of the people and r.ot the
people's Representatives or hired
servants of the people who elect-
ed them. Every time Texas wants
to do anything it must submit to
Bureaucratic rule, or ask Washing-
ton if it can proceed. Even the
State rights to say who may or
may not vote for office, is be-
ing taken away Irom the states,
by Washington and Supreme Court
rulings, here of late. State rights
are gradually vanishing from the
Country anu we are heading for
centralization of power and a Dic-
tator at one central point, who
will "tell as what to do and
how to do It" regardless of our
constitution which has delegated
to all states certain state rights.'
IIOW TO GET HELP
Employers in Armstrong County
will be permitted to hire male wor-
kers without referral by the Unit-
ed States Employment Service und-
er authority of the Area Director of
the War Manpower Commission
and the Amarillo Area Manage-
ment-Labor Committee. This consti-
tutes a special arrangement und-
er the Priority Referral Program
of the War Manpower Commission,
which goes into effect at midnight,
June 30, F. A. Wells, Area Man-
power Director, said, and is sub-
ject to change if operating exper-
ience and National manpower needs
dictate.
No local office of the Uuited
States Employment Service is lo-
cated in Armstrong County, he said,
and undue hardship would be im-
posed upon workers if they were
required to make a trip to Ama-
rillo to secure a job.
It was emphatically pointed out,
however, that while these arrange-
ments permitted a worker to seek
employment within the county
without having to be channeled
through the Employment Service,
that the Employment Stabilizations
were still in effect and that any
worker now employed during the
preceding 60 days in an essential
industry could not be hired except
upon referral by the United States
Employment Service or upon the
presentation of a Statement of
Availability. Mr. Wells also said
that while workers would not
be required to go through the USES
when seeking a job inside the
county that they should under-
stand that no such arrangement
exists In counties in which an of-
fice of the USES was located and
that in those counties no employer
should hire a male worker ex-
cept upon referral of the USES.
One of the objectives of the
Priority Referral Program is to keep
essential workers on their present
jobs, he continued, and he urgent-
ly requests less-es.sentlal employers
to refraim from hiring essential
workers, pointing out that such
practices was In violation of the
Stabilization Plan and could, if al-
lowed to reach proportions detri-
mental lo the war effort be a
reason for remanding the arrange-
ment of the Priority Referral Pro-
jram in Armstrong County.
No restriction whatever has been
placed on agricultural workers, so
long as they remain in agricultural
work, he said.

MORE RELIGIOUS
The call for Bibles for present
needs Is so great that the de-
mands can't be met. This is not
surprising for when man is in
trouble he turns to his religion.
When man is safe and secure
he sits in his comfort and thinks
little of sudden death. But when
he faces it daily, is surrounded
by it, reads of it, of the hard-
ships and heartaches entailed by
war, then religion becomes of
paramount Interest to him and
he opens his Bible. This is as
it sould be since in the face of
danger we promise ourselves that
we will earnestly try to do better
another time, we think of good
and noble living. In battle it Is
not only that one Is called to
his faith, but he accepts the help
that any faith will answer. Sol-
diers haven't time to quarrel a-
bout denominational differences
In the tace of hidden danger
only religion counts, not just cer-
tain creeds and sects. Inborn In
all ot us is a religious nature
which might be covered by layers
of vague living and Indefinite in-
BOYCB
HOUSE
Yes, there were lots of free
attractions in our town when a
boy was growing up 40 years ago.
There was the man gifted with
"second sight", who permitted
himself to be blindfolded and
then drove a buggy, drawn by
a spirited pair of horses, (the
best in the local livery stable),
through the town.
And the hypnotist who put a
man to sleep on a Monday in
a show-window and placed a pla-
card therein, "Will awake at 10
a.m. Wednesday." He did too.
Once, when the cornerstone was
going to be laid for the new
high school, the Governor came
to our town. He was met at the
depot by a band and was con-
veyed in an open carriage to the
scene of the ceremony. The may-
or presided and introduced the
superintendent of the schools and
he introduced our leading lawyer
and he introduced the Governor.
The great man spoke for an
hour, in a loud voice and with
much armwaving, eulogizing the'
Confederacy and the noble women
of our beloved Southland.
Then there was the "human
dummy" in the front window of
the leading store, who lifted his
arms with a jerking, mechanical
motion and who would pay $5
to anyone who could make him
smile.
Occasionally, a tribe of Gypsies
would come to our town. Women
in their red-and-green silk cos-
tumes, with jewels dangling from
their ears, would tell fortunes.
They would also "bless" money
—and, somehow or other, if the
citizen didn't keep alert, the
money had a way of disappearing.
It was commonly believed that
they kidnapped children. So after
the gypsies had left, the mothers
counted their boys and girls, and
the men took a census of the
town's horses.
Once, an Indian baseball team
came along. They were amazingly
fast on the bases and soundly
trounced the home team.
Another time, the "original Bos-
ton Bloomer Girls" visited us, too.
(There were six such teams tour-
ing the land at the time, eacli
of which was the "original"). A
baseball team consisting of girls
being long before the days of
lady truck-drivers and lady-wel-
ders. We were somewhat disillu-
sioned to find that the pitcher
and the catcher, however, were
mere men. Of course, the Bloom-
er Girls beat our team. Very few
ladies went to the game as they
disapproved ol members of their
sex wearing bloomers—the one-
piece bathing suit being yet many
years away.
Life was eventful, all right, in
those days.
4-H Club Goes All Out in War Bond Effort
<*<
The Four-H Clubs of America, 1,700,000 strong,
are making a vital contribution to the war program
helping in the gigantic problem of keeping the food
supply line strong and in buying War Bonds. Here are
some scenes of 4-H boys and girls at their war work.
No. 1 shows Glenn Whittenberg, of Hidalgo County,
Texas, with his fine litter which will help the food sup-
ply, Glenn is putting his profits in War Bonds. No. 2
shows an ambulance purchased by the 37,000 members
of the 4-H Club members of Virginia. Representing
the Virginia Clubs in the picture is Carolyn Steele,
Fairview, and Richard Fleming, of Bratiesville. Major
Barnard Sobol, USA, is accepting the ambulance, with
Director M. L. Wilson of the Extension Service Depart-

ment of Agriculture, looking on. No. 3 shows Billy
Fleming of Fairfax County, Virginia, helping Dad with
the chores. Billy is putting his earnings into War
Bonds. 4-H Club members own 90,000 head of dairy
cattle. No. 4—4-H Clubs make a mighty contribution
to the poultry and egg supply, raising 9 million chickens
in 1943. Here is Helen Wheeting, Brown County,
South Dakota, with a couple of her birds. She also
buys War Bonds with her profits. No. 4—4-H Clubbers
are also Victory Gardeners. Here is Jane Buddtirsr of
Frederick County, Maryland, in her garden. These farm
youngsters raised 5 million bushels of garden produce
last year. Back the Attack—Buy More Than Before,
