Truck Certificate
DeadLine Extended

Clair A. Patterson, Chairman of
the Allen county farm transporta-
tion committee, called attention of
local truck operators, including farm
ers, to extension of the deadline for
the operation of trucks without GER
tificates of war necessity.
The Office of Defense Trans
portation announces that trucks may
be operated without the war certifi-
cate up to December l, rather than
November Is, the previously an
nounced deadline.
At the same time, he said, nation
wide gas rationing has been deferred
until December l by the Office of
Price Administration.
According to the latest OPA reg
ulations, anyone who has applied for
a certificate of war necessity and
who has not received it by December
| may be eligible to apply for issu-
ance of temporary gas rations.
Patterson advised farmers who
have not yet applied for certicfiate
of war necessity to do so Immediate
ly. Assistance in filling out the ap-
plication will be given at the county
farm transportation committees of
fees, on the fifth floor of the Dauch
Bldg, Lima, Ohio.
The Allen County Farm Transpor-
tation Committee has assisted about
It's persons to complete their appli-
cations for the Certificate of War
Necessity, which will govern the
maximum mileage to be operated
and the minimum load to be carried.
An all-out war effort to keep our
commercial motor vehicles active, is
essential. The certificates are in
tended, not to discourage, but to en-
courage, stimulate, protect and aug
ment this effort.

SHORTS AND MIDDLINGs

Increased hog numbers means in
creases in disease outbreaks. Every
hog brought on the farm from stock
yards is a possible carrier of disease.
Hog cholera caused big losses in the
early fall.
Pigs up to so pounds gain a pound
of weight at one-half the cost of put
ting pound of meat on hog weigh
ing between 800 and $50 pounds and
at one-fourth the cost of a pond of
gain on 450 pound hog.
Dairymen who are trying to add to
the amount of milk which can be sold
from the farm by reducing the
amount fed to calves should remem-
Der that the calves on a limited milk
ration should get 20 per cent of pro-
tein in their grain feed, and should
receive calcium and phosphorus from
calcium carbonate, steamed bone meal,
or other sources. Salt for Ohio calves
should be iodized.

BY PEARL BUCK.

ny DOSns
have always maintained that the
great unused resource of our Amer
lean Nation is our women. I have
always believed and have many
times said that if the women of our
country should ever decide that they
wanted something enough to work
for it together, nothing under
Heaven could keep them from get
ting that thing.
Therefore there is nothing incon-
sistent in my saying today that if
women work together to get this war
fought in the most efficient and
speedy way possible, by determining
that our Government has the neces-
sary money, they are at the same
time determining on victory. And,
let me say, believe that if women
determine on victory, we shall have
victory.
Front Depends on Source.
For the men go go to the battle
front are singularly helpless crea-
lures. They are separated from the
sources Of food and supplies Of all
sorts. They have to use what is
sent them, eat what is sent them,
wear what is sent them, fight with
what is sent them, and they depend
for their morale on the atmosphere
back home.
Their task is essential, but simple
it is to fight with all the drive and
endurance of which they are cap
able. But the source of that drive
and that endurance is in what they
get from those who are working for
them at home.
Now it Is the women's turn. It Is
our duty to see that in every pos
sible way nothing is wasted that
can be used for the war, that Moth
ing is delayed. nothing diverted, that
our money goes only for the neces-
sites of life at home, and all our
surplus beyond what is absolutely
necessary goes for the war. And yet
this does not mean only materials
and money-it means our time and
thought and physical strength.
1t is against the war effort for us
to use time and strength these days
in ways that contribute nothing to
winning the war. 1t is against the
war effort when we exhaust our
selves merely in pleasure. All that
We have of time and strength we
must devote to victory
But I am never willing to allow
the impression that what we can
give and what we can do alone will
win the war. 1t is necessary also
to believe in that for which we
fight. and to express our belief in
certain behavior.
Women More Fearless.
This is curious war. 1t is a war
which has to be won in all sorts of
ways, and in all sorts of places, at
home as we'll as abroad. Acts of
prejudice, for example, against GER
tain classes and groups of persons
will defeat us as certainly as lack Of
arms. We must show that we be-
lieve in that for which we fight
victory in free world.
While we devote all our energies
to the war we must also devote the
force Of spirit which can only
come from a free people, a people
who believe in freedom for all.
I put an especial faith in women.
We are more whole-hearted than
men. We are more fearless than
Evening star., 1942-11-24

men. We are less afraid of declar-
ing what we want. When we sac
rifice, we sacrifice with complete
devotion.
What has this to do with buying
bonds? Simply that it is plain
enough that our Government must
have money wherewith to do its
share for victory. We are the foun-
dation of pyramid and the Gov
ernment is the structure upon the
foundation, and our fighting forces
are the crest-the crest that reaches
direct to that star, which is victory
But victory and crest and struc-
ture-all depend on the foundation,
all depend on us,

Z Iceland Ships Escape
In Nazi lightning Raid
BY the Associated press

By the Associated Press.
AN ICELANDIC PORT. April %
DelayeO.-The first attack by a
Nazi plane on any Icelandic ship
near this island since early last
spring was disclosed today with the
arrival OF two Icelandic vessels
which came unscathed through a
Nazi lightning raid.
The captain of one of the vessels
said single long-range German
bomber appeared suddenly out of
the sun from behind and swooped
to within 300 feet of the ships to
loose two bombs. Both exploded in
the sea, rocking the ships violently
but not damaging them. The plane
disappeared as quickly as it had
appeared despite that the bombs
missed the ships, he said.
Since the war began several Ice
landic vessels have been attacked by
bombers or submarines and sunk in
the North Atlantic, particularly In
the waters near England. Others
have been sunk by submarines near
Iceland.
