tile nation young men have answered
of their country for a year’s training in
tift various branches of military service.
They Kaye in most eases left homes and jobs to
take up new duties in the environment of any army
rrrr whey are conJrooted on all aides with new con.
ditions and must adjust their daily lives to the tempo
0 military regulations.
• * *
It is only natural therefore that after their
stint of training is over for the day or they have
a few hours leave during the week that they look
for recreation and companionship to compensate
for the loss of the social life they left behind them.
While the federal government has provided these
men with food, shelter and the necessary equipment
with which to carry on their training, the responsibil-
ity of taking care of them during their leisure hours
so to speak rests squarely on the shoulders of those
of us who are living our normal lives at home.
• * *
It is becoming increasingly realized that the
morale of our men in national defense is just as im-
portant as arms. A man whose morale is high and
is living a wholesome life makes a much better sold-
ier than one whose spirits are depressed and who
feels that no one is interested in his welfare beyond
putting a uniform on him and a gun over his shoul-
der. It is unfair to these men to place them in train-
ing and then forget them.
It is in full realization of this fact that the USO or
the United Service Organization was formed. The USO
brings together six national agencies in a common pro-
gram of service to our defenders. These agencies, are:
the National Catholic Community service, the Salva-
tion Army, the Young Women’s Christian association,
the Young Men’s Christian association, the Jewish Wel-
fare board and the National Traveler’s Aid associa-
tion.
* * *
\
The basis of the USO program is to serve the
religious, spiritual, welfare, educational and so-
cial needs in the armed forces and defense indus-
tries of the United States, and in general to con-
tribute to the.morale of our defense forces and the
communities in which they are based.
The first year’s operation over the nation calls for
a budget of $10,765,000. This sum of money is now
in the process of being raised over the nation through
the medium of drives launched by counties and cities
through local organizations.
* * *
A chapter of the USO has just been formed in
Nolan county and an organization is being perfect-
ed to raise a quota of $1,400 for this area. This
is not a great deal of money to be raised among
18,000 people and judging by past performances
of the people of this country, they will go over
the top in short order.
Our boys and women in military service and de-
fense industries need the services of such an organi-
zation. This was demonstrated in the last war. Young
people, many of them away from home for the first
time long for a friendly face and interested attention
when they are not on duty. They get homesick and feel
the need of wholesome entertainment and social activi-
ties.
* * *
Many of us have loved ones now in the service
of their country. They are away from us and it
would be comforting to know that some agency
or group had any eye out for their general welfare.
It should therefore be not only a duty but a privi-
lege to contribute to this branch of national de-
fense. When the day of the drive arrives let it find
us willing and not wanting in helping to provide
the necessary money to carry on this work.
When the record is read, let it find Sweetwater and
Nolan county right at the top among those communi-
ties that have done their part.

These Defense Priorities
Are Rough On Sportsmen
"We’re a little short on new’ equipment—you’ll have to
use some older stuff for a while.”
BY PETER EDSOX
Sweetwater Reporter
Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON — This
matter of shortages is be-
ginning to trickle down. At
first, the big orders on prior-
ties seemed to affect noth-
ing more petite than a box
car but substitutes are be-
ginning to appear for other
things and there will be
more of the same as time
goes on. Pretty soon you
won’t recognize yourself.
Take sporting goods. They
seem about as far removed
from defense materials as
anything you might men-
tion, and therefore one of
the least likely to be affect-
ed. The very remoteness of
sporting goods from defense
materials, however, makes
them among the first things
where substitutions must
be made. Sporting goods
are classified as luxuries in
war time and if any savings
can be made in consumption
of aluminum, steel, leather,
rubber and brass, the spoil-
ing elements will be the first
to feel the pinch.
If the rings on your ski
poles are made of alumi-
num, hang onto them for
they are definitely pre-war.
In the future these rings
will be made out of rattan.
If you're horsey and your
favorite polo pony won't,
lake anything but an alumi-
num bit or won’t respond
to any digs in the ribs
from anything but alumi-
num spurs, you’ll probably
have to send the critter bark
to be rebroken, for spurs
and bits will hereafter be
made of steel, which was, af-
ter all. good enough for the
old gray mare.
RATIONS FOR
FOOTBALLERS
Football coaching will re-
quire an entirely new school
of Pop Warners, for leath-
er helmets amt shoulder pads
are out. They’ll he made of
liber and that will natural-
ly alter the tactics of the
double wing back and raz-
zledazzles. Even the insoles
on athletic shoes will he
liber instead of leather.
Pigskins will still be pig-
skins for awhile but they
will he inflated by pumps of
steel, instead of brass.
If gasoline becomes so
scarce you decide it s better
to ride to work on a bi-
cycle, reconcile yourself to
getting a model which will
have lights and horns made
of enameled steel, not nick-
el.
Even your yacht will have
to be a little less fancy.
Boat whistles are to be
made of plastic instead of
brass. The flagpole sockets,
how and stern handles will
In- malleable 'iron inslead of
brass The place won’t seem
as much like home with
these substitutions, and if
j the chrome trim is taken
away too, you might just as
well invite your friends to
I spend a weekend on a barge.
But, like the courageous
| Britain^ you must, learn
to do without, and bear up
bravely under such hard-
ships.
Production for defense is
even stepping in to disrupt
your vacation plans, and if
you are getting new equip-
ment. you may find the top
on the picnic thermos jug
made of plastic insead of
aluminum, while the new
model camera case will
have plastic instead of alu-
minum boxes.
SAB NEWS FOR
I HE WABOONS
Fishing rod handles and
reels will be plastic cover-
ed steel. Gun cleaning
rods will lie steel instead
of brass.
Your very home is to be
violated by the long claws
of the defense planners.
Remember the good old
washing machines with ihe
aluminum agitators? Gad,
what machines they were.
Plastic agitators now. And
that old kerosene stove
that mother loved s<* well
t ho one with t lie copper
lulling, brass connectors, as-
bestos kindlers. steel tank
and nickel trim. Another
year or so and you won’t
be able to get a model like
that at all. The tubing will
lie steel, the tank and kindl-
ers glass, the trim plastic.

frigerator salesmen will

The ersatz era stops at
nothing. If you had visions
of having Junior learn to
take hi ■ first steps in an
aluminum baby walker, you
had best get your alumi-
num baby walker quick, |
even if Junior hasn’t arriv-
ed yet, or else let your
dream vanish and your am-
bition go unrealized. Babies
of Ihe coming generation
must learn to walk to the
next, war in baby walkers
of enameled steel.
The old folks are to have
their dotage and senility
ruined, too. Picture if you
can, with all the touches of
nostalgia, father and moth-
er, retired and living on
their social security. Mother
will tie siting on the porch
in her favorite arte mod-
erne chair, sewing. Sewing
because her no-account
children have forgotten how
Rut will that thimble be a
perfectly good dime-store
zinc thimble like her grand-
mother's. Not on your life.
The thimble will be cad-
minum finish. whatever
that is.
And Father. Sitting in
his socks and undershirt
on the steps below her,
sprinkling the lawn in the
cool of the evening. The
picture is perfect, except for
one detail. The label on the
hose will be vulcanized rub-
ber instead of aluminum.
