CARSON ON THE GO

In 10 days the Carson caravan
touched more than 20 towns, al
ways hitting as many as two a
day. She rarely travelled less than
$50 miles between stops, and she
never made less than two appear
anceS in each town. Her all-time
high was eight separate functions,
touching everything from radio
broadcasts to talks in public squares
and a coy little 200-woman meal
with the local housewives. And
the folks who heard her are buy
ing bonds to beat the band.
So strenuous was the routine
that the Carson maid got a
pitchers elbow from shucking
perspiratiO soaked clothes from
Miss G's shapely chassis, and tOs-
sing fresh garments on that chas-
81. Greer started out with a
fancy evening dress wardrobe
and ended up by working hatless
in the toughest rag she owned.
When the tour began, Miss Gar
son was speaking from short To-
minute script, prepared by one of
the Hollywood press boys. AS she
hit her stride, she threw away the
script and talked on an ad lib basis
/ Toward the end, La Carson was
giving out with something like rs
minutes of impaSsioned plea per
spiel, and laying the ladies in the
aisles. Like the excellent actress
she is, she delved into the vital
statistics of each town before she
appeared in it, and she used every
opportunity for ad libbing.
And what a business the lady
did. Papers all over the territory
are still writing headlines about
the Garson-inspired bond buying
fever. She showed SO much real
sincerity in her stuff that one
soldier, hitch hiking 500 miles home
because ne was almost broke, took
his last IS dollars and invested ii
in one s1S.75 bond and some roses
for Greer. That kind of thing
is what you call real audience re-
sponse
The lovely smooth Carson voice
declined into a sort of gutteral
croak, like Marlene DIETRICH with
bad cigaret cough. But the lady
kept talking. At the end, when
her voice, legs and nerves all COL
'apsed, her studio representative
pushed her onto a hospital cot ano
then went to bed himself, in a
nearby hotel.

Congress has decided unless the
people raise such howl that the
members relent-that it will simply
give the president blanket power
to do just about whatever he wants,
ana let Mr.. Roosevelt legislate by
executive order
Congress has been very sensitive
about the bitter criticism that has
been showered upon it from time to
time of late. Congressman have al
legged g. plot on the part of suppos-
edly sinister groups to destroy the
prestige of Congress.
That is silly. Nobody wants to
destroy Congress. Most of us would
like to preserve the legislative
branch from the suicide it attempts
every now and then.
Imperial Valley press., 1942-09-23

If Congress would take response
bility and act the manly part, we
could excuse many errors. But how
can any serious person who loves
his country and admires its tradi-
tional -dimensional govern
ment excuse the cheap political
coWardice that Congress shows ev-
cry time it is confronted with
troublesome issue?
Either President Roosevelt is cor
rect-and we must place effective
ceilings upon both wages and farm
prices-or he is wrong, and there is
no need. He has given his advice,
and has justified that advice with
an argument that has convinced
much of our citizenry.

Donald NJ. Nelson, chairman of the
War Production Board by telegram
today to The Republican, is asking
the American farmer to keep hunting
scrap for the remainder of 1912 in an
effort to help overcome the shortage
of valuable metals.

metal. We need your future help in
this farm drive and in aiding our sal
wage committees to continue this
effort throughout the next few weeks
Mats and other material to help you
are being prepared and will be mailed
soon. All salvage committees are
being instructed to continue to make
available to the farmer all their
transportation facilities and man
power and to cooperate with you in
every possible way. The nation is
looking to the American farmer. am
sure with your help we will come
through.

RATION BOARD RELEASES
NEEDED FACTS AND DATES
Chief Clerk Maurice S. Brook
hart Declares Office Is Faced
With a Tremendous Task

In order that the work in the office
Of the War Price and Rationing Board
may be specded up, some important
dates and facts to remember were re-
leased Tuesday by NJ. S. Brookhart,
chief clerk. The board is faced with a
tremendous task" Mr. Brookhart
said, and one not altogether pleasant
in many ways"
The dates and facts included the
following:
On December l and 2 all gasoline
dealers in the county must register
at the War Price and Rationing
Board. Each dealer is supposed to
know the capacity of his tanks and
their inventories are to be taken as
of midnight, November 80.
All owners Of trucks must have a
certificate of war necessity.
On or before December all insti-
tutional users of coffee must register.
They must know the amount of coffee
used by them during the months of
September and October, 1912, and
know the amount of coffee on hand
as of midnight on November 22nd.
Also December Is is the deadline
for registering and obtaining War
Ration Book one. Mr. Brookhart said
if persons had not registered hereto
fore, they must do so by December Is,
as thereafter they will not be per-
mitted to register. Persons who have
already registered but who have not
yet received book one because Of eX-
cess sugar on hand, will be given
books in order to purchase coffee, he
said. New babies must be registered
within a period of thirty days after
their birth.
Mr.. Brookhart cautioned all persons
to be sure to sign all applications be-
fore forwarding them to the ration
ing board. All unsigned applications
will be entirely disregarded in the flu
ture, he pointed out, as they cause de-
lays by taking up valuable time in re-
turning them for signatures, when
that time could be used for other i'm
portant things.
He also said everyone was urgently
requested to refrain from calling at
the rationing board unless absolutely
necessary, and suggested using the
mails when a letter would serve the
purpose. Every interruption only
causes delay in handling the thou
sands of applications of all kinds
which have to be taken care of by a
very small office force All applica-
tons filed will be taken care of as
speedily as available time will permit
and persons are asked not to call or
write about it, he concluded.

TAFT Says G. O. P.
In Maryland Is
Rejuvenated
State Chairman Declares Party
Is Revived, Happy and Forceful

Galcn L. TAFT, chairman of the
State Republican Central Committee
declared last night in Baltimore, that
the Republican party in Maryland
was "revived, restored, rejuvenatcd
happy and hopeful"
In a speech prepared for delivery at
birthday dinner honoring Theodore
r. McKcldin, defeated candidate for
governor, TAFT said the results of the
recent general election "werc moral
victory"
He said the COP had raised $12,62S
"from earnest party friends" to cover
the cost of the election, and had nc
deficit
"Ncvcr," he asserted, "has there
been 50 much accomplished in Mary
land politics with so little"
The Democrats spent five times as
much, or $63 ,237, TAFT declared" fol
only fifty-two per cent Of the vote
cast"
Admitting the Republicans had
achieved only "moral victory" TAFT
said, although we missed the bulls
eye, we hit the inner rings of the tar
get
McKcldin was defeated for Cover
nor by small majority, he said but
the Republicans achieved decided
congressional victory"
Pointing to election of J, Glenn
Bcall of Western Maryland and Dan
icI Ellison of Baltimore City, the COZ
state chairman declared, "this is one
third of the Maryland delegation
where we have had none at all for
eight years.
"Our Maryland party is therefore
now revived, restored, rcjuvcnatcd
happy and hopeful and ready to dc
its part in the national cause of vic
tory and reconstruction, and in the
state and national political contests of
1914, 1916 and 1913"

AT TEN O'CLOCK
DURING WINTER
New Time Becomes Effective
December lis Calculated to
Give Farm Pupils Time
At Home

Effective Tuesday, December / all
public schools Of the county are to
open at ten o'clock each morning,
close at twelve o'clock noon; recon
vene after lunch hour, not earlier than
12:45; and to close for the school day
one hour later than has prevailed dur
ing the past few months.
This decision was made at a meet
ing of the Board of Education at its
regular meeting last Thursday. Pupils
attending schools in West Virginia, OF
in Alleganv county, MARYLAND. will be
guided by regulations in those places,
according to F. +. Rathbun, county
superintendent,
Mr.. Rathbun said the new schedule
was adopted largely due to the fact
that the roads are more opened for
TRANSFORMATION of pupils at ten
o'clock than they are at nine o'clock;
that fog is less prevalent at that time.
The new plan will open and close
schools at about the same time as they
were operated formerly prior to war
saving time adoption. He added that
the schedule would probably prevail
during December, January and per
hops part OF Fcpruaf|'
