Goodness Survives

It has become settled prin-
ciple that nothing which is good
and true can be destroyed by per-
secution, but that the effect ulti-
mately is to establish more firm
ly, and to spread more widely,
that which it was designed to
overthrow. 1t has long since
passed into a proverb that ''the

Beer Pays Over One

JACKSON, April 7--(Special) -

The Brewing Industry Foundation

reported beer taxes paid to the fed

to $34S,S76.726 an amount suffici-
ent to buy about 1000 four-engined
pombers, or 3,488 fighting planes, OF
40 ~destroyers, or SO submarines, or
5,194 medium tanks, or to equip L.
$4,000 soldiers.
In addition, the State Director
stated, the industry in Mississippi
contributed $1,181,000 to the state
in crown or excise taxes and thou
sands of dollars additionally in pri-
vilege property, gasoline and num-
erous other levies.
Out of every dollar spent the beer

NO RUFFLES!
What? Say Women; That's
Right, Says OPA.

Those fril1y ruffles on window cur
tains will have to go to war, too,
declares the Office of price administra-
ton.
It takes extra cotton to make
ruffles, and cotton is needed for sand
bags, camouflage cloth, and bags for
food and agricultural products.
The consumer division of the OPA
suggests that for the duration house
wives making their own curtains leave
off the ruffles. It is also proposed
that curtains be made window length
yards of cotton can thus be saved.
Slip covers should be made with
out pleating and aprons without
hounces.
