The district court room of the
County Court House was packed to
capacity last Saturday when tlie
leading farmers and their wives of
the county assembled to receive the
certificate? of honor awarded to
them by the Governor of Texas
and other high officials.
John Will Vance of Shields,
acted as chairman of the meeting.
After a brief talk he Introduced
Sam Cooper of the Chamber of
Commerce, who told of the object of
the meeting and what it meant
to the county.
County Agent D. D. 8teele was
Introduced and < he detailed tne
method of gathering scrap metal
and how and when and where it
would be picked up by trucks. A
captain in the transportation wing
of the army spoke briefly; Miss
Jewell Hipp made an Interesting
talk, telling of government aAlvl-
ties and the many useful tilings
accomplished. She was givfcn a
ringing hand at the close.
Judge 8outh made the big speech
of the meeting. The congressman
was in a more serious mood than
ordinarily In his public talks. He
spoke of the national situation. He
did not drape his topic with pret-
ty phrases or go into rhetorical
flights as his wont, rather he
spoke In solemn tones; he drew
back the curtain from the national
scene and showed the people the
plain realities of the situation. He
told why he had not returned to
Washington and stated that he
would go back shortly.
"Loss of this war ls unthink-
able,” said the orator, "but the
w'ay ls long and the going hard.
We are facing the greatest war
of all time. We are still In tne
preparation stage. Much depends
upon us as civilians, now, what
we do here will hasten the great
day out ahead. Already we have
500.000 men overseas; already we
have 5.000,000 men in the armed
forces, by 1943 we will have 11,-

|han 300 hoti-
500,000 men In the army. These
men will have* to be financed;
these men will have to be warmed
and clothed and fed ?nd trans-
ported here and yon. The burden
on us civilians is great now and
It will be greater. No American
will shirk his full duty. He will.
rise to any emergency. Every man,
woman and child must and will
do his part.' This is our war, not
somebody rise’s war. THIS IS
OUR WAR! We will win, but the
cost will be great.
The audience drpnk In every
word Judge South uttered. He leit

he left the stage.
