Minute Editorial
The home town merchant is not going to be able
to supply all the things that ho was able to supply in
the days before the war He will however continue
to supply all things that ho is able to secure This
should remind us all that it is up to us to bo a little
more loyal to the home town than we have been in the
past Lets spend our money at home and do our bit
toward holding together the resources of the hometown
Our interests are here and our investments ure
here Its smart business to protect them in every way
that we can
The demand for workers is calling out of retirement
the oldsters who thought their working days were
to be given a chance to
over The old boys are going
show they are as good men as they ever were as they
always contended
Old men are not often considered much help in
war The exception will be Old Man Winter when ho
arrives in Russia He will prove an able ally against
Hitlers armies
A man who has time to kick about everything that
doesnt suit him hasnt much to do If he did he would
be so busy doing it that he wouldnt have time to kick
about things that dont amount to anything
Following the line of least resistance is what makes
men and rivers crooked
A neighboring editor tells of a couple in his community
who to save tires stayed home one evening
recently and discovered that they had five children instead
of three
BY THOMAS IIASTWELL
Tho other day in a response to an appeal from
our local committee I went on a search for junk I
searched my basement my attic and my garage When
I started out I did not think that I would find very
much I was amazed at the results of my search Before
I realized it I had quite a pile of things that I
had laid away and forgotten They were no longer useful
I dragged them out and threw them in a pile I
thought as I worked how like life Many of us treasure
up old hates old fears old anxieties old jealousies until
our life becomes so filled and cluttered with them
we have little room for tho new and better things What
many of us need Is a junk cleanup day in which we
can drag out of our lives everything that is hindering
us from living up to our best that stands in the way
ot a bttter life a strong character This is Christs will
for man that he east out of his life the unworthy and
leave room or only the good Christ wants us to get
rid of our junk

History Will
Record Industry
As War Miracle
11Y GEORGE PECK
A distinguished internationally
minded economist of German birth
recently said History will record
Americas industrial achievement
as the outstanding miracle of the
war No truer prophecy ever has been
made American factories are the
one bright spot in a rather dismal
Avar picture to date Asked
to Yo the almost impossible industry
has not only met the challenge
but exceeded it and if wc
fin believe business executives
eputedto know whereof they
speak we aint seen nothin yet
And why is this possible Why
have our factories been able to
turn from peacetime to war production
almost quicker than you
can say Adolph Hitler
There can bo and is only one
answer to that question It is n
tribute to our American System
of Competitive Free Enterprise
under which a resourceful management
force had been trained
to think and plan so as to be able
to cope with any emorgency that
might present itself These men
operating under a system that allowed
them to galvanize that
thinking and planning into action
were ready to jump into the
breach when the Japs made their
unprovoked assault on Pearl HarborMany of these men previously
held up to ridicule and subjected
to unwarranted persecution by
the planning boys at Washington
were summoned to the National
Capital to tako over direction
of our warproduction In
Americas hour of need the Administration
knew just where to
turn and wisely did so
Our hats are off to Donald Nelson
and the other patriotic businessmen
who for the duration
have relinquished all thought of
personal gain have disniptcd their

40 but 70 to 80 hours a week without
adequate financial compensation

Second Front In
Africa Stroke
Of Strategy
IJY FRANK DIXON
The long looked for long demanded
long clamored for second
front is now a reality It is
here North Africa has been chosen
as its scene of action
It was stated by President
Roosevelt the other day that the
plans for the second front were
begun as long ago as two weeks
after Pearl Harbor The raid on
Pearl Harbor was December 7
That would mean that before
January 1042 plans for the second
front were being made
Now that the second has been
launched it is interesting to note
some things in connection with
it First perhaps is the element
of surprise Notwithstanding the
fact that the Army and the Navy
and the administration have been
hammered over the back by the
Allies and by many in this country
in their repeated and Insistent
demands for a second front
those who have had its direction
in charge have been able to keep
it a complete secret to the extent
6T
that not a whisper has leaked out
as to where tho second front might
be launched
Many moves were made which
served to throw completely off
the scent any speculation as to
where the second front might be
launched Chief among these was
the massing of American troops
in Northern Ireland No where
else that they could have been
put would have served so well to
conceal the real intentions as to
where a second front would be
attempted Naturally everyone
thought that this force would one
day cross the English channel and
invade Europe This is what the
American strategists wanted them
to think The fact that his conclusion
gained general acceptance
made the surprise all the more
complete
Now that the plan has been
revealed it is clearly obvious to
everyone that North Africa is by
far the most strategic point for
the second front It is even more
strategic than an invasion of occupied
France would have been
Once the American forces are secure
in North Africa they can
control tho entire Mediterranean
The control of the Mediterranean
makes possible the supplying of
English and American troops in
India Australia and China through
the Suez canal by far shorter
route than around tho southern
end of the African continent It
also opens a southern route to
aid Russia a route far less hazardous
than the route to the northern
port of Murmansk
In addition to this it makes accessible
the very vitals of the
Axis partners Italy lies but a few
miles distant from Bizerte and
Tunis from which points American
bombers can blast Italys
land and sea at will Italy cannot
defend her land or her ships from
these raids which once American
air bases aro established are going
to increase in tempo and intensityThis choice of a second front
will also put a heavier burden on
Hitler than would have resulted
from an invasion from England
It now becomes necessary that he
keep guarded not only the coast
along the English channel but
also the coast along southern
France Italy and Greece Strong
though his force is it must now
guard not only the 1200 mile Russian
line and the English channel
but the Mediterranean coast
as well
In view of these things the
choice of North Africa as the
scene of a second front and the
secrecy with which an operation
of this size wa3 carried out is
n master stroko of strategy on
the part of the Allies It should
give Hitler as well as the armchair
strategists in this country
pause
When you rush through your
work too fast you may get through
in time to do it all over again

THANKSGIVING
For every good and perfect gift
That comcth from above
For every kindly earthborn deed
Fulfillment of thy love
For strength to bear our humble lot
And through our trials grow strong
For these Dear God we offer thanks
Today and all year long
The citizens of Happy added the final 4725 to the
service mens kit fund sending the amount collected
soaring over the needed goal Mrs C W McFarling
production chairman this week expressed her gratitude
to every person who donated money lor the kits and
her appreciation of all workers who assisted In collecting
the money She also voiced a hearty thank you
to the women who sewed and filled the bags
Houses are getting scarce in Tulia If you have
one to rem let us know Judging from the number of
people wtto aie always calling here wanting to know
about a house a person should not have any trouble
renting his property these days x
>
The Boy Scouts of Tulia remain homeless The
Kiwanis Club has been attempting to find a place for
the boys to meet but so far have been unsuccessful
Why dont we all get together and chip in some money
and buy these boys some sort of shack or small house tf
that they can call their own The Scouting movement I
in Tulia is auout to die for lack of a permanent meeting
place
Take an hour off from your work one of these
Fridays no matter how busy you are and attend the
prayer service held in honor of our boys fighting in
the armed forces and pray for their safe return Time

Folks this gasoline rationing is really serious Passenger
cars for pleasure drivers get 4 gallons per week
which is enough Where the seriousness I am speaking
of comes in is in the case of the farmer One farmer
who lives in Swisher County with whom I have talked
showed me his certificate from the Office of Defense
Transportation for essential farm driving He made apijg
plication for 20000 miles of essential driving on hisTr
farm pickup per year His certificate calls for only
3100 miles per year with a maximum of 1240 miles for
one quarter of the year which leaves only 620 miles
for each of the other three quarters This cuts his mileage
down to approximately 15 percent of the actual
miles he needs to drive to take care of his cattle other
livestock and all his farm operations This farmer is
only one of many in this area who have been cut down
to about 10 percent to 15 percent of their actual needs
We dont like to criticize the government for most of
tho agencies have done a real job in getting the United
States into wartime production and consumption
through the rationing of vital war materials and foods
The morale of the American people is high They arci
confident of eventual victory They have adjusted them
selves to economical living by doing without many of
the luxuries to which they have been accustomed But
a good big book could probably be written about What
the Office of Defense Transportation doesnt know about
farming What docs the ODT think the farmers of this
area are going to do get n wagon and team Most ot
the farms dont even possess a wagon and cant buy one
and horses and mules are as scarce as the hair on Jim
McConnells head
I think it would be the thing to do for all farmers t4
who have received drastic cuts in their essential farm
mileage certificates from the Office Of Defense Transportation
to write to their Senator or Congressman at
once and explain their particular case to him The local
board can only recommend extra gasoline ior the patronsAT THE CHURCHES
