in many years, the Pittsburgh Pi-
rates are heading north for the
opening of the National League sea
sor with the best conditioned and
strongest looking club in several
years.

combined with good pitching, the
Pirates have kicked the Athletics,

hibition games to run up Is victor
les against five defeats Not in a
long time has a Pittsburgh team
been in as fine condition as the
1912 club In recent years one of
the big drawbacks of the Pirates
has been their failure to get away
from the barrier fast
In rebuilding the Pirates Man
ager Frankie Frisch had several
delicate problems to solve. Loss Of
rookie Bill Cox, who was expected
to play short-stop. and com9llea-
tons resulting from Lee Handley's
ailing arm didn't help his problem

players obtained from the Dodgers

Red Gross Ships
Finished Work

Mrs. B. E. Reeves, chairman of
the Production Committee of the
Red Cross, said here this week
that two large boxes of finished
garments for men in service were
shipped from the local work
room last week, and that it is
now possible to insert the name
of the Chapter and the name and
address of the volunteer who
made the garment, before ship
ment.
Mrs. Reeves urges everyone
who can knit or crochet to meet
with other workers at the base
ment of the West Jefferson Bap-
fist church for participation in
this work, or to receive materials
to carry home with them for work
in spare moments. winter is
here" Mrs. Reeves said, "and our
soldiers are in great need of
warm WOODEN knitted garments,
and the only earthly way for
them to be supplied is for their
people back home to knit these
much-neded comforts and send to
them through our American Red
Cross"

Your Sacred Duty

During recent months we have pointed
portance of not allowing political cam
paigns to upset and destroy out unity in
the war effort.
In order that Democracy may survive
and that we may continue to hold political
elections in this great country of ours,
WE MUST WIN THIS WAR. In their
speeches last week, President Roosevelt
and Prime Minister Churchill pictured
brighter outlooks for the United Nations
and the results of raids over Europe, on
battlefields in Russia and in the Pacific
give us more encouraging picture, but as
yet we are not winning the war!
We are gaining in the battle of produc-
ton and in the battle of transportation on
water but we are still far from achieving
a major offensive victory on any front.
Therefore, the first duty of any indi-
vidual, politician, or business firm is to
"help win the war; Nothing else matters
nearly so much Of course the second duty
of industry and business is ito stay in bust
ness.
Now, the conduct of county, state and
national government today is extremely
vital to the war effort. 1t is most impor-
tant that we elect men who are qualified
to fill the offices which they seek. AS
nation, it is imperative that we have the
best men possible in our national Congress-
So while we should and must not allow
political campaigns to interrupt unity OF
purpose in war effort, at the same time ev-
cry citizen should be interested in voting
Surveys indicate that the vote in Novem-
Der will be the ightest in years.
In year when the future of our ma
ton may be decided it seems of the great
est Importance to have every one take ad-
vantage of his or her duty to vote. The
"don't care" attitude which so many are
taking towards that sacred right is dan
gerous thing.
If you are not properly registered, be
sure to see your registrar this Saturday
and by all means, be sure to cast your vote
on Tuesday, November 3.
