SALEM NEWS

Salem, Ohio, August 27-Our
Hayride certainly furnished our
members with some unique ex-
periences. We never dreamed of
having tire trouble on hayride,
but we know now ever that is
possible. After working some time
though. everything was fine again
and everyone had good time,
thanks to the committee. Wonder
why everyone was tired on the
return trip, after having been so
full of pep at the beginning.
For quite some time my articles
have contained news about our
boys leaving US to become one of
the many in the service of our
country. Again this month, we
wish to extend our best wishes
to the boys who leave this week.
Gardy Mellow and Vincent
Moore, two active members, and
Rudy Linder and Fred Reed,
known by our members. Good
luck, boys! Also, very faithful
and Well-knOWn club member. Al
fred (Butz) konnerth, has en-
listed as an aviation cadet in the
u. S. Naval Reserve. Don't know
when he'll leave, but good luck,

Congratulations to all the grand

sented their home towns so
beautifully and to the new Miss

the advantage on the lead-off and

Preceding the Swimming Meet
a dance was held at the Youngs-
Club on Saturday night. At this
dance the Saxon Queen of 1912
was elected. Only FIVE clubs had
entrees for the contest, Cleveland
East, Cleveland West. New Cas-
tie, Ellwood City and Ioungs-
town. The parade of Queens was
led by the l94l Saxon Queen.
Norma Wellman of Cleveland
East. After parading around the
dance floor several times the
Quees stood in front of the stage
while the judges were called for
ward to cast their ballots. The
Judges had been previously Sc
1ected by the president of the Yo
Club and were unknown to all.
Their decision by a 3-l-t vote
elected Elizabeth Bokesch of Yo.
as the new queen.
Miss Bokesch was then called
on the stage along with Miss N.
Wellman and was officially
crowned by the Queen of last
year as the 1912 Queen. The con-
test was a difficult one to Judge
as is so every year.
During the intermission of the
dance on. Saturday night, the
movies of the Swim Meet in
Youngstown were shown.
The Swim Meet was to be fol-
lowed by picnic at the Saxon
picnic grounds, but because of
the weather the affair was held at
the Youngstown Sachsenheim.
After the meal the awards were
presented to the winners. A COM
plete order had not been filled
for awards so the reminder are
to be shipped when received.
Several speakers were called on
and all gave interesting, short
talks. Following the program,

FAIR LAND
OF FRANCE
(Watsonville Register)

Jacksonville RegiSter)
Tonight most of us will sit down to an
excellent meal, rich in appeal to the eye
as we'll as the palate. For the most part,
only our appetite or girth lines will set
limit on the amount we may consume.
But today in France, one of the worlds
great agricultural nations, increasing
hunger and want stalk the land. The
nazi eXpropriatorS have first call ON all
that France produces or imports. Chill
dren may suffer and die, but the Ger
man army must first be fed, and next,
Germany's war workers Afterwards,
the conquered people can snatch up what
crumbs may be left.
Medical reports reaching this country
state that the mortality rate in France
has risen 18 per cent since the outbreak
of the war. Among the living, the health
of children and adolescents is rapidly
becoming grave due to the shortage of
food of medical supplies, of adequate
fuel and clothing. The average weight
of children at birth is declining rapidly.
The incidence of tuberculosis, formerly
on the decrease as in the United States,
is now sharply rising, particularly among
children.
The people of once free. proud France
live in a land stripped by the nazi lOcusts.
But despite sorrow and deprivation, they
have not lost heart nor turned against
those whose hard necessity it is to bonn
bard German-held ports and industrial
centers of France. In their hands may
be only a crust of bread, but in their
hearts is the undyilig will to victory, fed
by secret flame no naZi terror can eX
tinguish

Americas military strength = to be,

there has been sharp disagreement with
the affirmative taking the view that
Americas achievements in production
since Pearl Harbor having surpassed
even most of the optimists' hopes, an
nOuncement of our progress would give
a jolting blow to the Axis leaders
But military officialdom has taken the
stand that the less the enemy knows about
our strength, the better for US. However,
a sufficien compromise has been reached
to permit publication of the production
chart for single month. What this coun-
try's arms factories, aircraft plants and
other industries achieved in the month
of May, should bring cheer to the lips
of every American. Some of the figures:
more than $4,000 machine guns, more
than 1900 tanks, nearly 1000 planes.
1t is fair to assume that the output in
July will be considerably higher.

CENSORSHIP CAN GO
TOO FAR EVEN IN WAR

The lessons we learn from censorship
of the sabotage trial in Washington
the lesson that under total censorship
we do not have any idea even II the cen
sorship is justified-should teach US that
even in wartime censorship can go too
far. 1t should teach US that it should
not be completely in the hands of mill
tary leaders to decide every bit of news
that can be printed about military affairs.
Trustworthy public officials, answer
able to the public, should have the final
decision except upon the field of battle
or in the field of military strategy and
tactics. Elsewhere civilians should an
swer to the public for their acts-and the
public will never uphold censorship so
drastic that it covers up mistakes rather
than vital information.
Censorship is a necessary evil in war
time; few will deny that. But even in
wartime it should be held to a minimum,
and when peace comes again, it must be
wiped out altogether.
