Origin Of Armistice Day
Today our thoughts go back to the origin of Armistice
Day 25 years ago At eleven oclock November
11 1910 hostilities in the first World War were suspended
following the signing of an Armistice by the
contending powers The occasion was one of enthusiastic
rejoicing throughout this country and England
To some people this date will ever be remembered
as a day of joy and thanksgiving This year we find
ourselves again engaged in a bloody war that is taking
a terrible toll of lives and a vast amount of material
goods arc being consumed to defeat an enemy that
seeks to destroy us
This Armistice Day will not be a day of celebration
and gayety Our minds are absorbed with the
thoughts of death and desolation throughout the world
May we pause long enough from our usual undertakings
today to pray for the cessation of battle and
tlie safe return of our men who arc carrying on the
unfinished fight for peace of those who have already
given their lives for freedoms sake both in tills war
and the one that ended 25 years ago
BY THOMAS HATSWELL
The success or failure of the National War Fund
Drive in my opinion is a pretty fair barometer of the
hearts of the people at least in those sections where
it has been even fairly well presented Those who put
their gifts into the War Fund have no opportunity to
come In personal contact with the persons who will
be helped by it Because of its world wide nature it
cannot be a personal matter Their contribution is a
small part of a big fund It may help the son of their
next door neighbor or it may go to feed some starving
person in the occupied area It is one of those instances
in which the recipient will never have the opportunity
to know or thank personally tho giver The
only thanks the giver will receive will be the approval
of his own conscience that he has helped a neighbor
in need who can never give anything in return This
is the best form of giving It is doing a good deed in
secret
Minute Editorials
Government procurement agencies are buying the
1943 packs of dries apricots peaches and pears This
means that none of these items will be available for
civilian consumption
It is predicted that after the war small individual
cold storage locker plants will become available for
around 200 They will become valuable additions t
the farm food preservation program
A total of 548407888 pounds of butter substitutes
were consumed in the United States last year
The United States consumes around 70 million
pounds of olive oil annually
Certain types of Alaskan black fish often spend
the winter frozen in solid ice When the ice melts the
fish are freed The some is true of many spocies offish
that inhabit the rivers of Northern Russia which
during the winter freeze to the bottom
Owners of colonies of bees that because of honey
shortage may require feeding may secure as much as
15 pounds of sugar for each colony OPA rules
About 45000 pressure coouts will bo released to
met chants between now and tin end of the year There
will be two sizes 7 and 14 qusrt Cookers will continue
to be rationed Certificates may be secured by eligible
persons from the county rationing committee
Enough steel is used in tbe manufacture of tin
cans each year in this country v > build 22900 medium
tanks or 900 destroyers
Before anything is clone about drafting fathers the
single able bodied men in Washington bureaus should
be measured for a uniform and competent older men
and women put in their places If private industry can
be stripped of its manpower for the army why cannot
the government take some of the same kind of medicineA German Army officer who escaped from u
Canadian prison camp traveled 870 miles before ho
was captured That officer notes one of our exchangee
traveled almost as far and as fast as Rommel
I hail with expectancy a local man said yesterday
the announcement that sufficient rubber thread
may be released to make a few pairs of suspenders and
Barters I can get used to most of the rationed items
but a pair at suspenders and without any rubber in
them is a constant reminder that there is n war going
on and that I am in it

Victory Is

Everything i goinp to lv > all

our Navici and our Air Forces

have no way of knowing as to

that ultimate victory is to be

Realizing this we really started

At Most
Critical Time
BY FRANK DIXON
At the piesent time the country
is faced with two big labor
strikes one by the coal miners tud
dhe by the railroad workcis Both
strhtcn arc being called at the
most critical time In our wor
effort A stoppage of work In
either the mines or in our transportation
system even for a short
time will seriously cripple the
war effort
Due to this critical condition
the sympathy of the country is
not with the strikes The people
of the country as a whole who
are doing their best to win the
war feel that this is no time to
call a strike
If inequalities do exist and v
standard of living is threatened
they can be worked out The
present administrations sympathy
for labor is well known Labor
has received more concessions
from it than any other administration
There has not been an
Instance in which labor has
shown to the present administration
a real need that It has not
received consideration and the
administrations support In many
instances I might add that it has
appeared to the man in the street
that the administration is definitely
for labor even to the point
of being anticapital and anti
business management
For this reason the feeling
quite generally is that labor it
its demands arc just and fair
and necessary for the workers
well being can receive consideration
and relief by appealing to
the administration
Tlie big problem before the
administration is to prevent inflation
and runaway prices So
far their effort has been successful
A compatison with prices
during World War 1 will show
at a glance just how successful
the effort has been True there
has been inequalities there have
been failures The plan hasnt
worked one hundred percent but
it has worked to a great degree
Up to the present time there has
been no alarming inflation this
notwithstanding the fact that there
is a great cash reserve in this
country which might bid for
goods and a marked scarcity in
many items This situation is a
perfect setup for inflation It
needs but a lifting of the hand
of restraint to sweep the country
Thoso of us who went through
the last war know that once the
tide of inflation breaks loose it
knows no bounds Prices skyrocket
over night The pay clay
that follows as those who went
through the World War 1 know
takes all of the supposed gains
and more It wipes the platter
clean
There is scarcely a person in
this country who is not carrying
an extra burden because of the
war They are doing more work
than they ever did in peace times
and are receiving for their efforts
merely a living They are denying
themselves in an effort to comply
with the war time program and
are doing it cheerfully and gladly
because they feel that it is their
fair contribution to the war
effort They expect to make some
sacrifices and would not feel
right if they did not Their interest
in the country and its welfare
compels it
I am not presuming to say that
demands for increases are not
justified No one except those
who have an opportunity to
study both sides of the controversy
could answer this or
would be in a position to render
judgment Tlie point I am trying
to make however is that if the
demand is fair and right the

An agency of the National War Fund that is performing
one of the greatest services of the war is the
War Prisonors Aid Recently this group reported Uwt
it had been successful in getting chlpmentathrough in
war prisoners in Japanese and German prison camps
Packages from home make it possible for many prisoners
to enjoy a better diet Your donation in the present
United War Chest drive will help to send food to n

Mr and Mrs M F Sample formerly of Tulia
write happily of finding people of their own kind
deaf mutes in their new home in California They sent
a newspaper clipping which tells of the recent christening
of a mighty Liberty Ship the S S Thomas H
Gallaudet by Pearl S Buck nobel and pulitzer prize
winning writer As the ship slid down the ways of the
California Shipbuilding Corporation at Calshlp Calif
a forest of hands waves but not a word was spoken
for the spectators were deaf mutes
In a short talk that was transferred In the sign
language by one of their number L A Copeland editor
of Calship Log told the deaf persons that the
great tanker was named for the noted educator of the
deaf who raised money for the first free American
school for the deaf which was established in Hartford
Conn in 1017 Gallaudet College in Washington a
school for the deaf was originally established by his
youngest son Edward Pearl Bucks brief remarks were
also translated in the sign language
It was disclosed during the launching ceremonies
that 200 deaf mutes are employed at Calshlp The Gal
laudet was the 257th ship to be launched at Calship to
date and the 19th Liberty tanker
Mr and Mrs Sample also sent a price list of eggs
and after studying same wo are thankful we live in
Swisher County where eggs are more plentiful and
much cheaper The eggs ranged in price from 58c a
dozen for loose eggs in a store classed as type IV to
77 cents per dozen boxed in a grade I store
Those who read good books will know what we
mean when we say Finishing a good book is like
leaving a good friend
Well bet that many a Jeep will find its way to
farm tasks after this war is won
The Tulia High School will not have a school page
in the Herald this year but there will be school articles
run in the paper on different phases of the school
These will be edited by Miss Gladys Dawson a senior
and sponsored by Miss Mildred Hulsey teacher in the
high school
Effective January 1 1944 the Herald Subscription
rates in the county and adjoining counties will be
200 instead of 175 The rate of those outside of
Swisher County and adjoining counties will be 250 tjf
instead of 225 The increased cost of producing a newspaper
necessitates an increase at this time so come
in before January 1 1944 if you want to save 25c
