THURSDAY, SEPT. 16, 1943
With the Russian armies push-
ing Nazis back steadily toward
the Dnieper river, British and
American troops making new
landings and blasting Germans
in southern Italy, and the navy
of that nation surrendering, cou-
pled" with the capture of Sala-
maua airdrome in the Pacific, the
war news the past week has been
better than at any time since
Pearl Harbor. One down and
two to go.
Prosperity seems to give some peo-
ple the big head and others a head-
ache. Prosperity that goes to the
head is not worth the price.

In defense of bureaucratic
government, Speaker Sam Ray-
burn says that during World War
I President Wilson had the same
powers as President Roosevelt
has today. Maybe so, Sam, but
some of us can still remember
that Woodrow Wilson did not set
up “bureaus” to govern every
phase of American home life. A
farmer could plant what he
wanted to, and sell his products
without getting special permis-
sion from the government. And
farmers could spend their time
on their farms producing food
and material to win the war, in-
stead of standing in line at some
New Deal bureau waiting to get
more report blanks to fill out be-
fore they could get gasoline and
other necessary farm supplies.
And it is also a matter of record
that cotton sold for 40 cents a
pound, even though we had no
streamlined “farm program.” In
those days a man didn’t have to
join a union in order to get a job
in a war plant—or anywhere
else. President Wilson may have
been given the same pow’er as
FDR, but he certainly used bet-
ter judgment in exercising it.—

PVT. GRADY WRIGHT, age 19,
son of Henry Wright of Deport, who
is stationed in the 89th Infantry at
Camp Roberts, Calif., won a medal
for machine gun marksmanship,
scoring 147 out of 150 shots. He
sent his father a kodak picture of
himself with the machine gun, but
it was too shaded to make a good
cut for the paper. Pvt. Wright was
inducted into the army May 27, and
was sent to Sheppard Field for a
few weeks, then transferred to Camp
Roberts. He is expecting to come
home in October on a furlough.

There is a wide difference in liv-

GROWTH OF AMERICA’S LARGEST ARMY—During the past
two years the enlisted strength of the Army has been increased by
5,000,000 men, it is stated in the biennial Report of General George
Cl Marshall, Chief of StafT. "There can be but one result," said
General Marshall, "and every resource we possess is being employed
to hasten the hour of victory without undue sacrifice of the lives of
our men.”
BOGATA’S QUOTA THIRD WAR BOND

who was wounded on Guadalcanal,
spent several days last week visif-
ing Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Hancock of
Bogata. He has been in four major
battles and two minor ones, had two
ships shot out from under him. He
remained in the water about eight
hours before being rescued. It was
in' hand to hand combat with the
Japs aht he was wounded with a
knife.
Spain wants to buy American
arms and ammunition. N'o doubt she
rould strike a deal with Uncle Sam
if assurances were give n that the
purchases would be applied in the
right direction. Of course that means
in the direction Berlin.
Patrons of the stock market in
New York are making even bets that
the war in Europe will end before
New Year. Stock market patrons
are- not always reliable. Look what
happened when they all bet on a
higher market in 1929 and lost nine-
ty billion dollars.

The Times regrets exceedingly that
three news letters from the com-
munities of Pattonville, Clardy and
Cross Roads arc not printed in this
issue. They were mailed at Patton-
ville on Monday and should have
been in The Times mail box at 4 p.
m. that day. Instead, it was 2 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon before they ar-
rived, which is press hour for that
section of the paper in which they
appear.
They had been sent to the Cun-
ningham postoffice on Tuesday and
returned to Deport Wednesday af-
ternoon. Postmaster Nobles tenders
his regrets and will contact the Pat-
tonville postmaster with the expec-
tation that a recurrence of a simi-
lar error can be prevented. If these
letters were “tied out” at Patton-
ville with a letter addressed to Cun-
ningham on top, the tie is not sup-
posed to be broken at Deport, which
accounted for them being sent to
Cunningham. If not, the error was
In the Deport postoffice, and a real
affort will be made to prevent it
again.
One day Washington sends forth
the news that there will be' plenty
of this, that and the other for the
coming year. Next day from the
same city comes the warning that
we are going to be up against a seri-
ous situation because of a shortage
of this, that and the other. What
they need in Washington is one more
bureau (if there is room for it) one
designed to tell the public actually
what is what.
