Remembering Service Men

Let us all make every possible effort to
make this Merry Christmas for men in
service, who are fighting that we may
continue to observe Christmas as it is
meant to be observed. Several boys will
be home for a few days. Those who do
not get an opportunity to come home will
be happy to receive greetings from their
friends. You still have time to write
card and in many cases. send a gift to those
nearby in camps
When you send a card, add a short per-
sonal message of good cheer. Remember,
the boys and men in service like to feel
that they are remembered by the people
back home. Mr. R. Curtis gesture of send
ing them gift copy Of the paper shows
the Christmas spirit And when we show
them that we are thinking Of them, it helps
to bolster their fighting spirit.

France Arises

At Toulon, last Friday morning, just af-
ter midnight, large part of the French
fleet was destroyed by explosion and
flame sacrificed by its French crews to
prevent the Germans from Selling it.
The sinking of these war ships was one
Of the biggest moments of the present con-
flict and the blast of the exploding vessels
was figuratively heard around the allied
world; for the answer of the French Navy
to Hitler's efforts of control was an exam
pie of heroism that the world should be
proud Of
Hitler had promised that he would not
modest the armada at Toulon and when he
broke that promise last Friday morning,
brave Frenchmen were on the job. We are
told, that as column of panzer forces rae
ed toward the pier beside which lay the
26,000-ton battle cruiser, Strasbourg, the
strongest of the French navy, action was
started and before they reached it, the
vast ship was smoking in ruins. Other
ships in the harbor followed the example
set by the Strasbourg. And some of the
ships that could not be scuttled because of
repairs going on, turned their guns on each
other. Every French captain remained on
his ship bridge until his ship sank and most
of them lost their lives.
Had the fleet fallen into Hitler's hands,
it would have made the combined naval
tonnage of the Axis greater by one third
than that of the United Nations. Consid-
cred from this angle, its loss to the Axis,
is greater than it's gain would have been
to the Allies, had the ships escaped. And
the destruction of the French ships releas-
es the British vessels that have had to keep
watch there.

allow meat they have butchered
to spoil merely to keep within
the 2a pound limit in any one
period, but should even out their
consumption over the year to the
2h pounds per person per week
rate
10. Q. Does sharing mean that
farm families who store a great
amount of meat must put away
less and keep within the 21s
pound standard? .....
A. Farm families should be
encouraged to store as much
meat as they need to supply their
families and hired hands with
;2h pounds per person per week
for the year. Supplies in excess
of this amount should be sold.
II. Q. Doesn't the sharing by
farmers who raise and butcher
their own meat really mean de-
creased meat production which is
in conflict with the war program
of increased meat production?
! A. Sharing by farmers who
raise and butcher their own meat
animals should not decrease pro-
dustion. There will be good de-
mand for any meat or most ami
mails in excess of the amounts
farm families should eat. ..
II. Q. Must farmers declare
their meat on hand when ration
ing begins? -, ........, -. 49,.
A. The rationing program has
not yet been worked out.
Is. @. Will pieces of pork in
cooking vegetables be counted in
sharing?
Yes. Pork is one of the
meats for which limited consump-
ton is requested.
! ii. Q. How will sharing apply
to farmers who have hired hands
and seasonal labor?
A. Hired hands and seasonal
labor should be counted as men,
bers of the family in order that
meat may be shared fairly among
all CONSUME rS.

Shop For Christmas Now

The slogan "Do Your Christmas Shop
ping Early" has been used so much in re-
cent years that we don't pay much atten-
ton to it any more. But this year it needs
to be emphasized more than ever - for
those of us who don't do their Christmas
shopping early are apt to be unable to do
any Christmas shopping at all.
There is lot of Christmas merchandise
available this year, but the supplies are
below normal and the stores are going to
have difficulties getting new stock when
their present stock is exhausted In ad-
dition, because there are many unusual
types of gifts which are not available, there
will be heavier demand for those things
which can be obtained. And because the
public has more money to spend this year
than it has ever had before, the total de-
mand for Christmas gifts is apt to reach
an all-time record.
For your personal interest-in order to
be able to get the things you want-it is
therefore important to do your Christmas
shopping Immediately. And for the sake
of the storekeepers who are short of help
and who face delivery problems, it will be
a life-saver if that last-minute Christmas
rush can be avoided.
Again we say, "Do Your Christmas
Shopping Early And Shop At Home" Not
only do you save time, money, tires and
gas when you trade at home, but you are
helping your town and county, your mer
chants and yourself

Bonds For Christmas

War bonds should be on everyone>s
Christmas gift list this year.
These green and white pieces of paper,
representing money to be paid by the gov
eminent in ten years, may not provide the
excitement of big, tinseled packages, but
they can produce more long term satlsfac-
ton than the most glamorous gift you
could ask for.
Plenty of bonds under plenty of Christ
mas trees this year are the best insurance
there is to guarantee that we will have
Christmas trees and Christmas celebra-
tons in the years to come. The Christmas
spirit which makes the Christmas season
so joyous in this country would quickly
die if we lost the things we are fighting to
preserve in this war.
ONLY so long as we can live as free men
and women, can we celebrate the ''peace
on earth, good will to men" theme which
pervades our nation at Christmas time
OF course the average person cannot
give everyone on his list bond, but
stamps also make nice gifts, and these
should certainly be considered when we
are making our purchases of other gifts
this year.
Monday marks the anniversary of Pearl
Harbor, and we suggest that on that day,
particularly, we pause amid our duties and
remember to send little missile to Berlin
and Tokyo, by buying bond.

Freedom Depends On
Free Press

In a recent address in New York City,
Dean Carl w. Alderman, of Columbia
School of Journalism, pointed out the
dangers in restricting freedom of the press
as is now being attempted in suit filed by
the Department of Justice against the AS
ISOLATED Press and 1,275 daily newspapers.
eff those who are determined to freeze
the press, succeed in achieving their OBJ
iective, we may have freedom of speech,
but be deprived of freedmen to speak, be-
cause the facilities and instrumentalities of
communication will be frozen for the dura-
ton and only those governmental officials
and agencies beyond censorship control
will be able to use them.
Under the cloak of war emergency,
the American way of life is being pro-
foundry changed by law, by directives, by
executive ORDERS by judicial decisions, by
consent DEGREES and by accomplished facts
which the people are told about after the
events"
Dean Alderman ,pointed out that inso-
far as censorship of war activity was nee
essary to tie success of war plans, no one
has a right to object and no journalist
would purposely give aid or comfort to an
enemy, but, hejsaid the present attack on
the press ''has no justification whatsoever
by the necessities of war. The object of
that suit is mott preserve the freedom of
the press but tofreeze the press into new
mold, not during the war but in perpetui-
ty."
And in that last sentence Dean Acker-
man points out growing danger to free
dom in the United States freedom of the
Individual freedom of industry and free
dom Of economic progress. The loyalty of
our people and their willingness to give
their sons, their daughters and their world

QUESTIONS ANSWERED
ON SHARE-MEAT PLAN

Continued from Page One)
protect the consumer against in
creased cost of the substitutes.
3. Q. If people save meat, will
the armed forces GET it and will
they USE it economically?
A. The armed forces are
sure to get their meat, because a
Government order limits the a.
mount of meat delivered to civ
ilians to a point which will assure
that enough will be left at the
processing plants to provide for
the needs of our armed forces
and our fighting Allies. The pur-
pose of the sharing plan is to pro-
vide for fair distribution, of the
civilian supply among the 1913
million Americans not in uniform.
There is less waste in Army
cooking than in many home kit
chens.
4. Q. How will company over
weekends be taken care of?
A. When people eat away
from home, they should reduce
consumption at home according
ly. Those who entertain guests
are expected to increase meat
purchase accordingly within the
sharing limitations.
S. Q. Will the "Share the
Meat" and meat rationing pro-
grams reduce the price for the
livestock they produce?
A. "Share the Meat" or meat
rationing programs would not re-
duce the price for livestock. To-
tai demand-Army, Navy, lend
lease, and civilian-will continue
to run ahead of the supply for a
long period in the future Fur
thermore, as our armed forces
grow in size, and as they adj
vance, they liberate hungry peo-
pie living in Axis-held territory.
Both for military and humanita-
rian reasons these new Allies
must be fed. Secretary Wickard
is asking 10 percent increase in
pork production, despite the
probability of rationing.
g. q. Will the meat farmers
raise and butcher for their own
use be rationed? How can it be
done?
A. No decisions have been
announced about meat rationing
or its effect on farmers. Farm
families are now asked to do
their part in sharing the meat by
limiting consumption to 21a
pounds per week per adult
though they have butchered their
own animals for meat.
Z. @. Shouldn't farmers be per-
mitted to raise and butcher as
much meat as they need?
A. Home raising and butch
ering of meat is encouraged, be-
cause it saves transportation and
storage. The request to the farm
family is to use the homegrown
meat at the sharing rate-2A
pounds per week per adult.
Farmers can help also by selling
supplies in excess of this amount.
8. O. Will farmers be permit
ted to sell some of the meat they
butcher?
A. Farmers are asked not to
slaughter and sell more meat than
in tie same period in 1941. Ad-
ditinal supplies should be sold
as i've animals so that they will
60 to packing plants that supply
mat for our armed forces and
our Allies.
| 8. @. What will be done about
tbs situation? At butchering
tine farmers have much fresh
neat. They can some, but have
tspareribs, middlings, and other
fresh meat in excess Of the ~
pound share. They eat much
meat for two or three weeks.

"the use of alcoholic beverages and
narcotics by students and teachers

Mr.. Brossard's statement was read
to the other two members of the
special committee by DR.. James A.
Cannon, chairman, as they held
their second meeting to study re-
vision of alcohol and narcotic in
struction in the senior high schools.
At the same time the board heard
