Main Street, U.S.A., Goes to War
By NEA Service

What can I do about the war7" you've probably asked yourself you grass-root farmers, small-town wives, country lawyers and village schoolma'ams.
 Well, the answer. on good author fly, is this: You can win itl
 At least. 1t can't be won without you.
 Maybe your individual war effort seems too small for you to believe such a large statment. But your government believes it. And one branch of the government. the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, is ready to help you to help yourself in doing even more than you're doing now.
 NEW BOOKLET
 GIVES ADVICE
 This government help is no magic prescription. It isn't a project" No except" from Washington is going to come out and help you. Instead it takes the form of a booklet called Small Town Manual for Commun- ity Actionl" It is a primer of self help. You may purchase 1t from the Superintendent of Docum e n t S., Washington, D. C., for the sum of five cents.
 The booklet contains two state ments that are worth remembering the next time you feel your con- tribution toward victory can't pos sibly make much difference either way:
 "The hope of the nation is the countryside-an alive, alert, aroused, victorious countryside.
 "The more you and your town work out your own salvation without appealing to the Federal Govern ment for help, the more you will contribute to the winning of the war"
 In other words, the prescription is as American as New England town meeting, and 1t follows the same general lines.
 PROGRAM IS PLANNED FOR WAR AND WEALTH
 The manuel is divided into two general sections The first offers gen. eral sections. The first offers Sug- gestions in tackling war-created problems affecting your community. The second offers plan to increase your towns prosperity, both and when the war is won.
 Part I proceeds on the reasonable assumption that national action de- bends upon community action, that community action depends upon you in action, and that you might just as well be the person who starts things going and keeps them going
 Suggested action begins in con- sultation with existing agencies: your local defense council. farm and business associations, service and women's clubs, labor unions, and similar civic organizations. This is followed by mass meetings appointment of committees and careful planning, and a lot of hard work by every body.
 Naturally every suggestions does not apply to every community. But the manual takes up a com

West won the opening lead
and returned a diamond. Then
the declarer led a heart, won in
dummy with the ace, ruffed a
small heart, then cashed the ace
and king of trumps. Another
small heart was ruffed, and West
could do no more than cash his
queen of clubs.
Alderman said that if West
had continued with spade after
the first trick, he could have de-
feated the contract. 1t looks as
if it might be possible to cross
