War And The Banks

The magazine "Banking' recently pub
.lished a. special supplement on banking's
part in the war effort. The supplement
was partly based on survey made of rep
resentative banks throughout the country.
And it shows that banking, due to the war,
has quietly and efficiently effected an i'm
mense expansion of it's services to the pub
lie and the government
It has been commonplace for the vol
. ume of work in banks bookkeeping de-
partments to increase 40. or so per cent or
more The volume of transactions handled
by tellers has shown similar increases. Gil
gantic war industries have been swiftly
built in communities where little major in
dustry existed beforehand local banks
must cash thousands of pay checks weekly.
And banking, like all other enterprises, has
faced difficult problem in obtaining me-
chanical equipment, while it has lost many
employees to the military forces.
Banking has made an especially out
standing record in War Bond sales. Of the
first $4,000, 600 of these bonds purchas-
edFbanks sold IS per cent. Every cent of
the money received went to the govern
ment, and the banks absorbed all the SELL
ing costs. And those costs ranged from
IS cents to 81 cents per 500 of bond matur-
ity value.
The volume of work done by the banks,
in every field, will continue to increase.
The banking industry has made elaborate
plans for meeting the demand, and it is
preparing for any conceivable load In
short, banking's service was never so vital
to the nation-and it never served so we'll.

We Could Lose

. For the United States and the Allies,
the war looks darker and darker, in fact
blacker and blacker. A few days ago the
Office of War Information advised us that
we might lose thisswar if every man, wo-
man and child in the nation didn't do his
part" to help WIN
We are further: advised by official a.
gencies that our war production program
is being slowed down because of lack of
scrap metal $szAss#T
A large ship; builder on the Pacific
coast said the. other day that five more
ships could have 1been delivered during
late 5O-day perioda1f more steel had been
available. insufficient quantities of iron
and steel is also retarding the production
of other basic'waT needs 81
In this county we now have around
500 young men in military service. These
soldiers, naval men, marines and aviators
cannot fight effectively if they do not have
modern implements Of Warfare.
These young men, and millions of 9TH
ers like them, are, willing to make the SUI
preme sacrifice in. rerdern to preserve our
land, our home of the free, and our way of
life, but they cannot do the job alone.
They must have guns, tanks, planes, ships
To give fhefn these tools of war;, our
manufacturers and ship, builders need ev-
cry pound, yes, every ounce of scrap metal
there is in this county and in every county
in the natio1r:s '7~~~'~ ~'~'-
A new sefap--1netals, collection cam
paign is now underway. A goal of 500
more TONS think of it liz pounds of
scrap metal per. person. IN this county has
been set for the next six months. That's
a lot of scrap and unless you collect up
your share you will not be doing your
part But you supply the scrap and you
share in the victory!
Look around your home and your
farm . collect up old scrap iron and
metal of all kinds, as well as rubber, and
then notify the WPA office at Jefferson or
the farm agents office to send truck to
pick up scrap Or, take the scrap to your
nearest filling station. 80.
Do it today Don't delay! Every min
ute counts! Every minute Hitler is making
more progress in Russia.
And another thing, don't forget to in
vest in War bonds and stamps! This is
total-war You can help win or help lose
it!

Open Forum
COT T1MN
FOR THE VOICE OF THE
PEOPLE
THE STATUS OF LABOR

The rights of labor to organize
and strike in self defense is not
denied, The. necessity and, sacred
ness of labor has always been,
and is now approved by both God
and man. It was the first duty
placed upon man when he was
driven from the Garden of Eden.
It is the best means to a successful
end. Encouched in the Latin
sentence labor omnia vincit''
(labor conquers all things) is a
meaning of proportions, = the
length, breadth, and depth >: Of
which cannot be measured by
words.
This may be the reasons why a
few so-called labor leaders either
ignorantIy or under pressure
drive many real friends of labor
either to a spirit of indifference,
or to open rebellion or prejudice
them against its demands. = r.
Each organization of" labor
seems to surmise that it should
succeed at the expense of one or
all other branches of labor. It
does not realize that the whole
can be no greater than the parts
of which the whole is composed.
This is especially true to-day
in a war-torn world when the
very essence of liberty is threat
ened. For several years our gov
eminent has put forth every ef-
fort to protect the 1aborer; from
the street-sweeper to the scientist.
But strange to say, n1eh like; John,
L. Lewis and his cohorts have
through motives, purely selfish,
either killed, or at least "crippled
the goose that lays the golden
egg" '..~.. : -.
Under ordinary circumstances
when labor and its opponents
have differences, the scales should
be turned in favor of the form
er (but nothing unfair should be
done), but when either direct OF
indirect methods are used to un'
duly influence the laborer tc
stand in his own light, this la
borer who is ordinarily a, part
of the "salt of the earth" should
disregard such methods and ap'
peal to arbitrator to settle these
differencesi This especially Is
important at the present time
when high-handed and heartlesS
wretches are at least playing in
to the hands of Hitler and nj:
accompices, who are trying tt
destroy all that liberty-loving anc
God-fearing people have ac'
complished in the past. Labor
should retain her enviable RECORD
of the past and refuse to aid anc
abet even passively in any .ac'
! that may plunge our nation into
an abyss of dissolution and de-
struction. ...
