GOOD job in observing "Women VI
War week November 1928, selling
$1,528,099 in bonds and stamps.
The women Of Holmes county, under
the able leadersA1p Of Miss Dorothy
NcBee, county superintendent Of
education, exceeded their quota By
selling $60.617.26 n war bonds and
stamps.
The state ~ . whels set . record
for the entire month Of Npvem-
her selling $5.229.020 which was
exceeding the quota ~ FOR Novsm-
Der BY 1873 percent. The November
quota was $4.495.000. The activity
Of the women Of the state account
ed for . large part Of the months
total.
Ali Of this brings to mind the
fast that people ct home are Civ
ing Of their means ~ best they can
10 help finance the war effort and
have at least . small part In bringing
shout victory. Without the money
given by the citizens Of this country
to pay for the war machine we
could net fight. Money alone can
not win the war but we cannot win
the war without it. So keep buy
ing war bonds and stamps 80 that
eventually we may win victory and
have peace once again.
There are still many citizens in
this country who feel that unity is
absolutely essential to bring about
harmony and cooperation on the
home front and cooperation on the
front to get the proper attention
from our leaders. These citizens
feel also that the administration it.
self is the cause for any lack OF
unity that exists due to the fact that
it has not yet shown itself interest
ed solely in winning the war. 1t Is
evident that the administration or its
spokesman + apparently more In
terested in winning a war for social
gains than concentrating solely on
the global war now in progress. 1t is
global war now in progress. II is
also apparent that we are far from
victory yet and that If we are TO
win it we need the best brains and
leadership which we possess. We
need that Leadership forgetting every
thing else except the war and using
the resources we have to best adj
vantage in beating the enemy, It
IS impossible For Mr.. Roosevelt and
his leaders to give their best to the
war effort when they use so much
of their energy and strength IN
fighting a war on the home front.
The people are quite aware of
what is going on in Washington.
Evidence of this was shown con
clusively in the November elections.
American citizens will not tolerate
anything but the best when the lives
of their SON are at stake. Once
they lose complete confidence in the
leadership we have in Washington
their wrath VIII be terrible to behold.
They are already aroused over the
''war for social progress being car
ried on the home front. When 1t is
shown to them that this war for
social gains is responsible for our
best not going into the war effort
and that the lives of their loved ones
have been sacrificed because of 1t
a day of reckoning will have arrived,
That the administration insists on
carrying on the dorteitic war Is
shown only last week when the
Committee on Fair Employment
Practices issued an order forcing the
Capitol Transit Co, a privately own
ed enterprise, TO accept employees
for all positions without regard to
race. creed, color, national origin
or citizenship. This a be moth
ing but a movement to force th'
same conditions on the people l!
every state in the Union. 1t is aimed
particularly at the people Of th'
south.
