CHERRY TREE
Where with eur Little Hatchet we tell
the truth about many things, sometimes
profoundly, sometimes aippantly. some
times recklessly. -.

We hear lot Of talk about this war
being EVERYBODY'S war. How many
realize just how must this is just
that? Some; not all.
Let's look at some of the ways this
war touches ALL people-all except
very few, anyway.
First, almost everyone now pays
an income tax The present tax law
touches the average citizen in about
dozen ways, in addition to the di
rect "take" through the income tax.
Most of us pay some tax or other
and probably several taxes EVERY
week
There are taxes on many things and
every user pays them. There is no
escape; there should be none.
But we are IN this war in many
other ways.
We are ALL in this war through
higher prices. We are ALL beginning
to get in through shortage of THINGS.
Already we help win the war by get
ting along without new tires and new
cars. Soon great droves of cars will
get off the road because they can't
roll any more.
The rubber that would go into new
tires, or retreads, for YOU will go
instead into tires for tanks and planes.
Thousands of women are rolling
bandges and folding "sponges. Other
thousands are knitting.
Women all over the country will
soon find that many kitchen utensils
are no longer to be had. They will do
without, to help win the war. The same
with men. Many things they use nor
mally will not be available.
Ninety-nine per cent will make
these sacrifices gladly.
Already sugar shortages are upon
US, making no great hardship.
Civilian defense work takes the time
of millions.
How many realize the number of
men and women engaged in the civilian
defense work of single city?
1t runs well into the several hun
dreds.
Here are some of the divisions of
work: First aid and casualty stations;
stations for treatment of gas victims,
complicated business in which de-
contamination is in itself big job;
air raid wardens, fire wardens; aux
iliary police and auxiliary firemen.
Take casualty station-just one
1t must have a staff on call around
the clock, in three 8-hour shifts. That
means doctors, nurses, orderlies
stretcher- bearers, messengers, record
keepers and ambulance service, which
can include both ambulance and sta
tion wagons.
For city multiply that by from rs
to 80 or more. That's lot of men
and women.
Air raid wardens must be trained
The requirements demand from ten te
sixty hours. That's lot of time. Aux
iliary police and firemen must take
training.
All over the country women are
taking first aid and nursing courses
giving up many hours regularly, each
week.

SAY WATERWAY
 COULD RELIEVE
 COASTAL ROUTE

Chapel Hill. N. C.. July 24-UP) -"The Inland Waterway = Can It Be Used for Coastal ShippIng?"
 This question repeatedly raised by governors of geaboard States and others in the face of submarine at- tacks of the Atlantic coast. par ticularly of North Carolina, has been answered affirmatively by two university professors.
 Tt is not to be assumed that the inland waterway can replace the regular ofshore shipping lane" wrote Profs. F. c. Erickson and J. c. McCampbell of the University of North Carolina department of geology. Father it should be thought of as an arterial route whereby small yet indispensable amounts of vital commodities could be safely amassed in Eastern mar kets. At least 1t can be utilized to prevent the pail from running dry"
 The inland waterway is a system of rivers, sounds, bays and canals running from Florida to New Eng land points. It has been suggested that oil barges using this route might relieve the gasoline shortage on the East Coast.
 Among the reasons given for the present limited usefulness of the canals are their depth of ten feet, relatively sharp turns, narrow drawbridges, the fact that long sec- tions of the canals are limited to one-way traffic, and that the entire system is affected by tides.
 Dredging, widening and straight ening ttc canals would quickly re- pay the work involved, 1t was point ed out, because of the increased volume of vital commodities the waterway could handle, thus re- leasing planes and naval vessels now on convoy and patrol service for wider range war duty.
 The Erickson Campbell article appears in the current issue Of "Popular Government" magazine published by the university.

FIRST HALF OF GAS
 RATIONINC ENDS
Concluded on Saturday With Motorists Studying
 Remaining Coupons

The first half of the first perma- nent gasoline rationing was over Saturday, and hundreds of motor ists are ruefully studying the scalt few coupons that remain before their No. 2 coupons are available.
 For holders of A books, No. 2 coupons cannot be used until Sept. g. For many of those with only A books, that means that they will have to be without gas, and hence without the use of their cars, long before the arrival of that date.
 Holders of B books are also wor- ried, for many of them have been using their A and B coupons too recklessly, they now find. B books cannot be renewed until Oct. p or later.
 c book holders are in a better position, but even they are now realizing that they must cut down on their gasoline purchases.
 Car owners have been using up their coupons too quickly, despite repeated and emphatic warnings from OPA officials. There will be no additional supplemental allot- ments, the OPA has announced.
 Permanent rationing went into effect July g, but its impact is be- ing felt more and more daily.

Brazil Is Recruiting At Remarkable Speed
Germans, Italians Fleeing Country as Concentration Camps Are Being Filled Up With Spies, Enemy
 Agents, Axis Sympathizers
BY DAVID J. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent)

Rio De Janeiro, Aug. 24-(UP)- Thousands jammed recruiting of- fees today to enlist in the fight against the Axis. Today was the first day since Brazil declared war on Germany and Italy Saturday that recruiting offices were open. Thousands more were expected to be drafted. Concentration camps swelled with fifth columnists, spies, enemy agents and Axis sympathiz- CTS, as a nationwide drive for ln- ternal enemies progressed. Hun dreds of Germans and Italians, finally learning what it is to be refugees, poured across the border into Uruguay, openly and secretly.
 But if they expected to find sane tuary there, they were soon to be disappointed. Uruguay, in complete sympathy with Brazils stand, an- nounced 1t had full knowledge" ot the migration, and that all would be arrested and turned over to Bra gillian authorities. Some already were reported to have been seized.

 This was the first fulfillment of President Getulio Vargas promise that every Axis sympathizer and agent arrested would spend the war in hard labor deep in the interior. Axis agents were popularly perhaps officially, blamed for tipping off U- boats about the sailing of at least 19 Brazilian ships that had been sunk.
 Coincidentally, police searched for clandestine radio transmitters Three were seized last week, bring ing the total to 20 since Brazil broke diplomatic relations with the Axis

 At a British Port, Aug. 24.-UP) American pilots, ground crews, troops, nurses, planes, tank guns and assorted equipment were dis tributed to United States army de- pots throughout the British Isles to- day from the greatest Atlantic con- voy of this war and one of the great est of all time.
 The convoy was so big that it was necessary to land 1t at several ports, where special busses, trucks, trains and even street cars were waiting to start the fighting men and the army nurses to their destinations.
 Men in the gigantic convoy came from all parts of the United States.
 They were escorted by power ful force of United States navy ships. On the American side, Army planes shepherded the convoy far out to sea, and British planes picked it up on this side.
 Once during the voyage, the con- voy veered sharply to a new course when submarine activity was re- ported nearby.
