Americas Winston Churchill
By Frank Carey.

CORNISH, N. H, Sept. 6.-While
Britain's Winston Churchill was en-
gagged in historic conference on the high
seas recently, and perhaps molding the
pattern of the world to come, Americas
Winston Churchill sat before an artists
easel in the New Hampshire hills, paint
ing a scene of sylvan peace.
Thus is illustrated how prophecy
made in the London Daily Sketch in
1905 turned out so per cent correct.
At that time, the sketch remarked
that England's Winston, then STRIPPING
of 81, had electrified the empire with his
speech on the Transvaal constitution;
that Americas Winston had just stirred
his Nation with a new novel, The
Crisis" besides campaigning (unsuccess-
fully for Governor of New Hampshire.
Then, in a burst of clairvoyant fervor,
the sketch offered this slate for the fu-
ture:
For Prime Minister of Great Britain:
Winston Churchill.
For President of the United States:
Winston Churchill.
Finds Peace
And yet, the Winston Churchill whose
historical romances and political novels
we're the Gone With the Winds" OF the
early part of the Goth century-before
he suddenly stopped writing them
would perhaps not change places today
with the President of the United States.

Rubber Is Question Mark

From the standpoint of indispensable
ity. as well as from tonnage and dollar
volume, rubber is a major strategic ma
terial. With the Nation dependent on
the Singapore region for 81 per cent OF
its supplies for tires for trucks, planes,
cars and for use on tanks and almost
every other wheeled defense vehicle, rub
Der has been a continual question mark
In defense planning.
But two notable triumphs in rubber
research have been brought about by
the intensified defense effort. The latest
to be announced is the development OF
duramin, a combination of chemical
age-resisters discovered in the B. F.
Goodrich laboratories and described by
John L. Collyer, president, "as acting on
rubber to prolong its service life much
as vitamins react on the human system"
Now being used in tires for increased
mileage, the combination is said to be
effective in quantities ranging from
quarter of ! per cent to 2 per cent of
the amount of rubber used in the tires.
The development of duramin extends
the program aimed at forestalling. the
possibility of rationing of rubber in this
country which the same company
launched in June of last year when it
began the manufacture for the public
of the first synthetic rubber passenger
car tires. The basis of these tires is

Africa have attracted attention"
Had Name First
Friends of the American say that the
name business was headache to the
Englishman, too. The story goes that
the Briton wrote letter to the American
suggesting that they do something about
their names to clear up the confusion in
the literary world. The American is sup
posed to have answered something like
this:
"I had the name first because I'm the
older. But you have middle name any,
way, whereas haven't. Please use it."
The Briton used the initial IS" sub
sequently, but there wasn't much need
for it. because the American stopped
writing novels in 1917, and, in fact,
he didn't write a line for publication
again until last year-when he came out
with a philosophical treatise entitled
THE Uncharted Way"
There was minor confusion in the book
stalls once more. Because 1t was shortly
thereafter that the Prime Minister'S
Blood, Sweat and Tears" began to get
quite a play.
The American Churchill draped his
lean, 6-foot frame in an easy chair before
a fireplace in the living room of his
hilltop house as he explained things.
His tanned features. accented by great,
shaggy eyebrows and dark, swapping
eyes, still retain traces of the energy that
made him captain of the Navy crew and
q crackerjack fencer when he was mid
shipman at Annapolis.

Wartime Duties Keep Lady Halifax Busy
BY Ruth C0wan.

There's a lonesome dachshund out at
the British Embassy and pile of let
ters getting larger every day since Lady
Fairfax flew to England recently for a
visit with her 21-year-old son on his
first leave from military duty.
The wife of the British Ambassador
had the FLU" right after she and Lord
Halifax first arrived in the United States
little more than seven months ago. To
cheer her up Lord Halifax suggested she
get dog. From nearby kennel she
selected a sleek brown, soft-eyed puppy.
1t so happened that the dog had been
born on January 20, the day Franklin
D. Roosevelt took Office as President for
the third time. Lady Halifax named her
new pet Franklin-and now every one
calls him frankie for short.
But frankie has the mopes Perhaps
he worries about the other dogs Lady
Halifax will see back home. Before the
war Lady Halifax, who is very fond of
dogs, bred dachshunds and elk hounds,
and was the organizer of the English
Elk Hound Society.
But Frankie is not all that claims Lady
Halifax's attention. There's the mail.
Since she has been in this country she
has received from 300 to 400 letters a
month from persons in many parts of
the Nation.
Long Letters to Write -
Lady Halifax has tried to answer each
letter in longhand even If she had time
to write only few lines. Keeping up
with the postman has kept her busy.
Also there were long letters to write to
her four children and to friends back
home-impressions of the HalifaxeS' first
visit to the United States.
She and Lord Halifax came over last
January aboard the latest in British bat
tleships, the King George V. 1t anchored
at Annapolis, and the new British en-
misary and his wife were greeted by
President Roosevelt, who had driven
from Washington in cold rain to well
come them-and also to see the war
ship. for ships are one of his hobbies.
Lady Halifax is a grandmother of
three, but life certainly hasn't slowed
down for her in the last year. Instead,
it has challenged her with new expert
ences, new adventures and new duties.
Not many women make trans

report to his government. They plan TO
return together. In the meantime, as
letters to friends here relate, she is very
busy seeing what damage the bombs
have done. trading experiences with her
countryfolk, visiting the grandchildren.
Lady Halifaxs large, expressive eyes
have watched important chapters in the
empires history unfold. but always from
a seat in the background. In the United
States, however, she quickly found that
the public-especially women-wanted to
know about the Ambassadors wife.
Right after her arrival invitations
began coming to Lady Halifax to attend
this and that benefit for British relief.

Uncle Sam, long the worlds most

self and to render most effective aid to
Britain-coupled with genuine or an
ticipated shortages of imported raw ma
terials-has brought about a reform in
the space of year and half.
Today as a result, the United States
is using native ingenuity as never before
to solve one pre-War problem after an
other that threatened to "bottleneck"
production of vital military equipment.
The methods are threefold First, de-
velopment of new facilities for the Gre
alton of such materials here at home;
second rigid conservation of stocks on
hand in cooperation with the newly
organized conservation unit of the Office
of Production Management; and, third,
plain hard work to make the recovery
of long neglected domestic mineral de-
posits worthwhile

Costs Are Slashed

At the same time, intensive efforts are
being made to develop equipment and
methods which will make profitable the
working of low-grade domestic deposits
of other vital minerals, and many notable
results have been achieved. Mining costs
have been slashed with LIE Tourneau
earth moving equipment which is used
in open-pit operations to scrape off the
overburden of soil from deposits of low
grade minerals and expose them quickly
for large-scale extraction.

ground particles of manganese, the

top of an oily solution while waste ma
terial remains at the bottom, has enabled
the Cuban-American Manganese Corp.

Birds 's-Eye View

These are the results brought to light
by survey conducted to determine just
where the Nation stands today after l8
months of national effort to avoid short
ages of materials which threatened to
cripple large sections of American in
dustry in the defense program.
A bird's-eye view Of where that effort
Is heading is gained by checking the
steps being taken to create, produce and
accumulate more of the materials listed
by the Army and Navy Munitions Board
as being absolutely essential to national
defense. These include tin, rubber,
chrome, tungsten, quinine, camphor and
magnesium, without which the Nation
would face a breakdown in both the
production and maintenance of defense
equipment.
Procurement of these materials has
taken precedence in national planning,
so by checking progress made in Great
ing, producing and accumulating more
of these substances, it is possible to
gauge the progress of the entire defense
effort.
A survey of the field reveals some
spectacular and reassuring results. Some
have already made headlines, but others
have been overlooked in the hurlyburly
of war news. Each, however, is tribute
to the ability of American creative
genius to meet pressing demands in short

Columbus has quite an infield
with Sanders at first, Myatt at
second, Repass at short and
Haas at third. In the outfield
Dixie Walker and Morris (Moe
or Buck) Jones are very capable.
Jones suffered a broken hand
early in the season and doesn't
quite have the power he did last
season. Walker is in a slump,
but he is sure to snap out of it.
Max Marshall and Gordon Gill
enwater alternate. Both these
players will turn in excellent
performances for two or three
days, then hit a slump. They
just cannot be depended upon.
Columbus has the pitching staff
and the spirit to win the A. A.
pennant and if Marshall and Gill
enwater get going the Red Birds
will have the flag for 1941.

ball last season is slipping. Jim
Bagby and AL Milnar may have
a good pitching day and again
they may not. Clint Brown, the
relief hurler, is not getting any

bad. The Indians have a great
defensive team, but they must
have the offensive to go along
with it. All in all the Cleveland
Indians of 1941 have pitcher

reau, a second baseman in Mack

That is the Cleveland team. l

practically the same team. The
other clubs have been building
to match the Reds. The Brook
lyn Dodgers and the st. Louis
Cardinals have built better
teams than the Reds have this
year. Cincinnati is not receiving
the breaks they received last
season. Walters, Derringer and
Beggs have found the going
tough. Eddie Joost at short is
the Reds most valuable player
and he was not a regular last
year. Elmer (The Great) Riddle

er. Last season he was a relief
chucker. Most of Cincinnati's
regulars are too well satisfied.
The Reds may snap out of it,

Here's sample copy of a mar
keting card which every wheat
producer in Licking county must
have before a bushel of 1941
wheat can be sold. Wheat mar
keting quotas were approved by
more than 80 per cent of the Ma
tons growers on May 81. Be-
low are shown steps that may be
taken to secure the card:
The farmer who is within the
AAA allotment or Is acres or
less must get the county AAA
committee to determine his
wheat acreage. He will then re-
ceive a marketing quota card,
and be free to sell or feed all the
wheat produced on the farm.
The farmer having over Is ac-
res must let the county AAA
committee to determine his

wheat acreage. He then does one
of the following: pays penalty
of 49 cents a bushel on excess
production, stores excess produc-
tion in approved storage, or
turns over warehouse receipt for
excess wheat to the Secretary of
Agriculture for Red Cross and
relief purposes.
More than 5000 wheat growers
in Licking county will receive
marketing quota cards, AAA
Chairman Owen G. Osburn said
this week. Every wheat grower
in the county, whether he is
within his allotment or over his
allotment, must have a market
ing card before wheat can be
sold. Buyers who purchase wheat
from farmers who do not have
cards will be liable for the pen
atty on each bushel purchased.

1t is traditional that the
teams in first place on July A
will cop their respective league
championships. Of course this
does not hold true year in and
year out, but it is a very good
bet. Back in 1941 the good old
Boston Braves were in last place
on the Fourth, but staged a re-
markable rally and copped the
National League bunting and
then whalloped the unbeatable"
Philadelphia Athletics in four
straight World Series games.
But let's not talk about that. In
Newark we follow with the most
interest Columbus in the Amer
ican Associations; Cleveland in
the American and Cincinnati in
the National league. Let's look
the teams over and talk about
their chances of coping some of
the championship honey.

Just give the Red Birds a high

flock has a wonderful pitching
staff. Big John Grodzicki, the
coal miner, just recently sent to
the Birds from the Cardinals af-
ter pitching a one-hit game in
the majors, heads the depart
ment. Little Harry Brecheen
and little Murray Dickson are
close behind Grodzicki in effec-
tiveness. Young Pete Hader,
Preacher Roe, Ed. Wissman, Red
Barrett are other pitchers on the
Red Bird roster that would be
welcomed by any minor league
club. Columbus has also picked
up Frank Gabler, the talking
machine, who can do neat bit
of hurting.
The flock has two excellent
catchers in Heath and Poland.
