"MIGHTY WILL BE
OUR PLOWSHARES"

To-day we produce to destroy
but tomorrow we will produce to
build.". These were the words OF
DR.. Charles M. A. Stine at recent
meeting of the American Chemical
Society as he. described the new
vistas to be opened to America
after the war is over.
In a thousand and one chemical
laboratories throughout America
chemists are discovering new con-
tinents of matter at such rapid
pace under the pressure of war that
"the world of 1910 has already be-
come an antiquity" he said.
"The inconceivables of only two
years ago are today's realities. The
war is compressing into the space
of months developments which
might have taken a half a century
to realize if necessity had not
forced the pace.
These pressures sare unprece-
dented. The developments are un-
precedented. Give us a victorious
peace and the freedom of enter
prise it should guarantee, and our
progress will be unprecedented
Let our swords be mighty and
mighty indeed will be bur plow-
shares"

Dear correspondent of Post BIB:
Thanks for the bouquet that has
been thrown at Post BE when you
mentioned in your news that you
had a good turnout and did not
have to recruit marchers from the
sidelines the night of the parade.
We believe when you were reading
our news about what Mr.. Steiner
was doing, you were reading be-
tween the lines.
Now, my friend, l will try to ex-
plain to you why Mr.. Steiner was
so busy getting those who were on
the sidewalks Tor sidelines) Our
arm bands did not arrive until
Friday, the day of the parade; So
in order for our members to have
an arm band to wear in the parade
we had to stop them as they walk
ed down the sidewalk looking for
their place in line. Our roster is
1000 and BE is manned "a hours
a day. We have 104 members who
are still with us since we started
on Tuesday, December 8, 1941, al
400 P. M. So you see we do not
have to do any recruiting when
there is a parade or anything that
BE is called upon to do.

DEALER ENTERPRISE IN .. s.

When automobile plants turned
over all their production facilities
to war weapons, thousands of deal
ers all over the country were left
with very little to sell. What does
the average American dealer do in
case like this? Does he quit and
go on relief?
No, he looks around to find some
way he can help his country win
the war. He goes into the military
service, he gets a job in industry,
or he adjusts his business to exist
ing conditions.
Hundreds of former automobile
dealers are now selling blackout
materials, aid-raid sirens, poultry
feed, or beer. Some have con-
verted their show-rooms into bowl
ing alleys and night clubs. Radio
dealers are selling games and other
amusements. Wholesale grocers
are selling flower bulbs, cosmetics,
and hosiery. Drug stores, no longer
able to get clocks, appliances, and
other department store stocks are
putting increased emphasis on drug
sales.

The Aircraft Warning Post,
known as sc, also as Maloney's
Post, suffered a severe lombard
ment ON Tuesday. In fact it was so
heavy that the two observers on
duty, Mrs. Roland Davis and Mrs.
George Davis, were afraid to leave
the shelter. This bombardment was
not from hostile or Axis planes, but
from a large pear tree that stands
near the post. A strong northeast
gale drove the ripe pears from the
tree and pelted the post to such an
extent that the observers were
afraid to leave for fear of injury.

cations are that sufficient storage
space will not be available in ter

take care of all the soy beans pro-
duced this year in the United

agent, every effort is being made to
assist farmers to dispose of their
soy beans through the regular
marketing channels, but to- date it
is very uncertain that all of the
1912 crop can be moved off the
farms due to the limited storage
space. Contacts have been made

Houston Goes All-Out
To Beat The Axis
Ccontinusd from rlrss Page,

Residents of the community, both
urban and rural, who have not as
yet donated to the pile, are urged
to do so without delay. The govern
ment needs shells, ships, guns, and
planes. These cannot be produced
unless the steel mills can get the
scrap. They can't get the scrap if
you don't turn 1t in-be patriotic,
go all out for victory-bring the
scrap to the Houston School today
and every day the drive is on.
Getting in the scrap is not the
only way Houston community is
helping to win the war. From the
homes of Houston, both white and
colored, nearly sixty young men
have answered the call to arms.
Many have already seen action. One,

TUBERCULOSIS AND THE WAR

One of the greatest achievements
of American medicine has been in
combating tuberculosis. A compar-
atively few years ago this was one
of the most dreaded of diseases. In
a high proportion of cases death
was the inevitable result. Now,
when the disease is diagnosed and
properly treated in its early stages,
recovery is effected in the great ma
jority of instances. And even when
the disease is far advanced before
the physician is called, many cures
are effected.
At the same time, qualified medi-
cal men warn that the tuberculosis
problem is apt to become more Sc
we're during this war period. Mil
lions of people, men and women
alike, will work longer hours. Many
of them will leave Office jobs to do
work in defense industries where
great physical effort is necessary.
Many will be exposed to the ele-
ments while on the job. And thus,
the road will be open for the in
roads of tuberculosis.
Can we protect ourselves? The
answer is an unqualified "Yes!" We
must dress properly, eat properly,
sleep properly. And, of vital i'm
portance, we mustn take chances
when we get that sick feeling" or
that "tired feeling" When that
happens, there is but one thing to
do--seek expert advice.
American medicine is responsible
for epochal progress in the cause
of better health. If the people CO.
operate, American medicine can
safeguard our physical well-being
in these trying times.

All the civilian defense councils
in the Sussex county area have
been organized and are now work.
ing in the October harvest scrap
drive. Special committees and
chairmen have been appointed in
each community by the county
chairman.
The chairmen in this scrap drive
in the various communities outside
of Milford, are as follows:
Lynch's Heights, ]. B. Jeffries;
Lincoln, Harry Clendaniel; Hous-
ton, w. H. Jump; Slaughter Beach,
Russell Boyer; Glendale, Thomas
Wilson; Milton, Joseph E. Reed;

The farmers in the county have
been organized by the County Board
of Agriculture, and the public
schools in the county have been
organized for this drive by the
State Board of Education.
All these organizations are now
at work, and the scrap is now roll
ing into the deposit centers in
each community in large quantities.
Hunters To Help
An innovation is the organizing
of the hunters in this area for To-
eating scrap. There is a gold mine
Of scrap metal in the woodlands of
/ Sussex county, and during this
coming open season for game, hunt
ers are requested to locate the
scrap that is lying in the wood
lands. and report its location to the
nearest defense council. Trucks
will then be sent to the reported
place, and the scrap hauled to the
storage piles.
Soon a house-to-house canvass
will be made in the rural sections
of Milford. Each farm will be Wis
tied, and a thorough inspection
made of the premises for scrap.
Truckers of Milford will make this
canvass on Sunday, October 25, of
all the rural districts surrounding
Milford, and will haul the material
found to this city.
Chairmen for hunters will be ap-
pointed in each district in the Sus-
sex area, and these chairmen will
organize the hunters in their sec
tion into groups. These groups will
report to their local chairmen who
in turn will notify the chairman of
the drive in their respective coun-
Gil.
Among the notable articles that
have been added to the pile at Mil
ford is the machinery from the Old
Red Mill, the first safe of the Mil
ford Trust Company, and a sword
of the 1850 vintage by Mrs. ]. Harry
Humes.
