of the fuel and explosive stores.
Prediction by Knox
Admiral Furlong said explosives

Mrs. Wofford
Attends Family
Reunion At Texas

Mrs. E. H. Wofford returned
Tuesday from Colorado, Texas,
where thirty relatives from var
ious points throughout the state
gathered at the home of her sis
ter, Mrs. Green Delaney, for a gala
family reunion. Mrs. Wofford
and her son George Dawson, from
Louisville, Kentucky, represented
out-of-state members of the fam
lily.
A group picture was taken of
the gathering Sunday, some of
whom Mrs. Wofford had not seen
in 26 years. A family dinner fol
lowed, with thirty-three present.
Highlight of the trip for Mrs.
Wofford was the meeting with
her son, whom she had not seen
for three years. He arrived Sat
urday for a brief visit with his
mother before the reunion, since
business necessitated his return
Immediately afterwards. I'VE sat

ford said. 1--WE had so much TO

question-but there is plenty to be
had.
There is no doubt that the
easiest thing on earth to do is to
stand on the side line and tell the
fellow who is doing it how to do
it. We all must plead guilty to
this habit. Sometimes the side
line fellow really has something to
say that is worth while. You can
be too close to a thing to see it
properly. A little distance often
helps.
And yet, if we were in the
Presidents position we too might
proceed slowly and with caution.
The fellow in the game may see
things that the side line fellow
cannot see. And, after all, the re-
sponsibility rests on the fellow
who is playing the game, not the
fellow who is looking on.
We have peculiar condition
existent in the country just now
There is no enthusiasm for war and
yet nine out of ten persons one
speaks to feels that We will be in
the war within a short time and
that the sooner we get going the
better There is a growing i'm.
patience with strikes, delays. mud
died leadership and indications of
profiteering.
Even those who have been most
opposed to the granting of broad
powers to the President want him
to exercise those powers, now that
he has them. They want the labor
unions spanked. They want the
lndustrialists regulated on profits
They are impatient with strikes
They don't want to fight but they
want Hitler stopped and are will
ing to lend hand to stop him
They don't want anything thai

A R1z0NA
IA AIR
by TEX HANCOCK

Looking at the black-spot on the
European map that represents
Germany, and reading of her con
tinued conquest of Europe, and
listening to the fearful warnings
of Lindbergh and Wheeler about
what Hitler is going to do to us
when he gets over here, we some
times forget to look at the size OF
the spot upon which we stand.
The other day we stumbled onto
the following statistics and began
to take new courage:
Land Area Population
England 50,S74 So. mi. 1884, ,003
France 212,659 sg. mi. 42,014,594
Germany POS 1896 So. mi 7S,700,000
Texas 65,S96 So. mi. 6,418,321
The article stated that Texas
stood first in the production of
petroleum, natural gas and cotton.
In addition the Star State pro-
duced 5,O5O,O00 bushels of wheat,
122,256, 900 bushels of corn, 11,5OO,-
900 bushels of oats, S,S94,000 bush
els of rice, S,30S,0O0 head of meat
cattle, 3,205,O0O head of hogs, l.
1877, 900 head of sheep, 13,562,3O2
chickens and 1,299,O0O geese, ducks
and turkeys.
All this comes forth without
resorting to any intensive methods
of production. The plow-it-under
program has applied to Texas
the same as other states since
the New Deal took over.
Of course we can't count OH
shooting wads of corn meal, ham
burger, pork sausage and rice
cake at Nazi soldiers and expect
to win the war when we get to
the shooting stage but we can take
courage and know that there is
plenty of stuff on hand to feed the
army if we can keep them sup
piled with fighting planes, guns
and ammunition.
we are capable OF carrying Oh
war without resorting to any food
restrictions and have some felt
over for our allies. Our problem
just now isn't biscuits but bullets,
not beef-steaks but bombs, not
land area but sea power.

This is the story of Mrs. Miniv
er, her husband Glenn, her three
children, Vim, Judy and Toby and
the servants. They live in London,
in a house whose small stucco face
is exactly like the other houses
around it buut to Mrs. Miniver it
is an individual, with its missing
rosette on the Intel and it's slight
ly crooked second balcony. There
are no high lights, or deep myster-
les, no tragedies in the story. Just
commonplace everyday family
with events happening as they do
in every well regulated home.
But there is a feeling of har-
mony, of contentment and joyous
ness about Mrs. Miniver that fills
you with happiness as you read.
You go with her on her Christmas
shopping trip and hear the new
cars screen wiper, (wind shield
wiper to us) go singing thru the
rain. You see the children and
their Christmas stockings and find
that one moment of joy with the
children repays all the "accumula-
tions on the debit side of parent
hood" You go with her to Scot
land and view again the memory
flags" of other trips and see Su-
san with her endless knitting that
seems to come from her finger
tips like a web from spider" In
time of stress when gas masks are
fitted, in the zoo when she finds
that the animals remind her of
persons, when the lead bubbles
can foretell the fortunes of the
family, you find the same zest for
living, the thankfulness for small
AS a mother she finds that
much of the fun of parenthood
lies in watching the children re
make with delightful wonder,
ones own discoveries of other
days" Even the dentists chair
has it's compensations in sage com
ments, and the heated discussions
at a dinner party bring this choice

bit, Left wing-Right wing. It's
so limited, why doesn't it ever oc-
cur to any of them that what one
is really longing for is the -

Through it all you find that Mrs.
Miniver has something that we
all need. 1t is that something that
has made possible the courage and
endurance OF the English people
during these past months of bomb
ings and blackouts. Call it what

They feel that there is lack of
definite action.
"FER AND AGIN'
The Fer and agin' lines are
being more tightly drawn each
day. The howl for national unity
mounts in volume with the passing
hours. Bitterness is developing be-
tween the pro-war and anti-war
groups.
This is characteristic of our peo-
pie. We take sides until definite
decision is made. And after
time of waiting for that definite
decision we begin to grow inn
patient. For two years now we
have seen our country gradually
being drawn into the war. Those
who hate the idea the most feel
down in their hearts that we can
not escape it. This is why Mr..
Average Citizen on the street
would like to tell our leaders what
to do. He wants a decision so he
can rest his mind.
UNITY EASY
One word, one torpedo, one ship
sunk would unity our country over
night. Our lack of unity grows
out of our suspense. We keep ex-
pecting something to happen and
it hasn't happened. We are get
ting tired of waiting for the thing
we feel certain must come. Our
people are not lacking in unity.
We are just impatient We want

'Stamp-Sized
 Letters For
 British Fighters

CAIRO, Egypt, June 20 - Let ters for the 5O,OOO British sol diers, sailors, and airmen in the Middle East are being reduced to the size of postage stamps to save weight and bulk in the mails.
 Ordinarily these 50,OO0 letters would weigh three-quarters of a ton. By photographing them on film and packing them in small, lightweight containers they are reduced to 13 pounds. On arriv- al here they are enlarged to four by five inches then rushed to the postoffice to be sorted, folded and gummed prior to dispatch to their final billets.
 The new method also saves the long tortuous sea voyage. Writ CTS are limited to about 700 words. British claim this necessi tates shorter letters. Others say they never were very good letter writers.
