periodic public reports there would
be little cause for anti-labor leg

SOLDERING" BY
PVT. RAY LOWERY
Continued from Page 81

Continued from Page g.
The secret of precise drill is
that all men hear and respond tc
the command of execution at eX-
actly the same moment. In that
lies the value of the training: tc
acquire perfect co-odination be-
tween mind and movement. When
you hear the command forward, .
shift your, imperceptibly, to the
right leg. Then you are ready al
the command march," to step off
with the left foot. Always the
left. The normal step is 80 inches
Business OF Hating
If you are not prepared for the
movement, you'll never make the
distance; your first step will be
about 20 inches, and the squad
will have taken several steps be-
fore you catch up.
HALT: 1t takes two to make
this command function properly
the one who gives the COM
mand, and the one who obeys.
For, to make this movement pre-
else, the command of execution
must be given as one foot or the
other strikes the ground. The in
slant your ear catches that HALT,
you put the next foot forward, as
usual; then bring the other foot
up beside it (instead of ahead of
it). There, you've stopped.
These are just a few of the SIM
pie beginners movements. They
can be practiced at home and can
give one the advantage over many
a selectee who, for all of his 20
or 3O-odd years, can't tell instant
ly his right foot from his left.
There is rythm to drill just as
there is to music and dancing.
The rythm is called cadence. If
there is any music in your soul,
you catch on readily. The normal
cadence is 120 beats to the min
ute. When you march, you always
marin at cadence, with one foot,
right or left, striking the ground
at each beat. This is called "quick-
time" marching. There is also
double time" executed at much
much faster cadence and which,
if you ask me, is just another
name for running; but "half STEP
and "mark time" still maintain
the cadence of "quick time"

the school of the soldier, without

Circulars were distributed here
this week, advertising an enter

the courthouse in Jefferson on
Saturday night, May %, by John

had been made to use the court

"Civilian and national defense

can get, but we do not want any

al Farm Checks
Are Arriving Now

Eighty-two 1941 soil conservat-

stated Yesterday:
Mr. Grouse said that a regular
mailing. of all of the AAA bene-
fit checks for compliance with the
1941 farm program, is now expect
ed, and explained that the delay
has been due to the enormous a.
mount of defense work in Wash

this activity.
Between 5000 and $500 Ashe
county farmers have applications
in for these checks which aver
age approximately SO each, or

A WeIl,Fed Nazi Speaks
Cincinnati Enauirer

NCInclnlall EIQuIeI)
 Scarcely week after the Nazi Propaganda Min ister Joseph Paul Goebbels, expressed surprise and disappointment that the remaining European neu~ tras have not gladly joined the German new order, another high Nazi digntary supplied an excellent reason for their reluctance to place their nationai destinies in German hands.
 It was cold -blooded, but candid speech which Reichsmarshal Hermann Goering made to the folk of the Third Reich Sunday the occasion ot the annual harvest festival. Said he, by way of re- assuring Hitler's followers in view of the coming winter Tn stillng the bangs of hunger the German people come first" Continuing, the well-upholstered No Naz declared, Tt is my wish that the popula- tions of territories placed under our care or con- quered by should not suffer hunger But II dltfl- culties of food supply arise due to action by the enemy, then all should know: If there is hunger, it will be, in no event, in Germany. From now on it must be an unshakable policy that German work nen and those working in Germany be supplied with ood the best of all.'
 More than a trace of crocodile tears was evident, 1f course Goerings expression of compassion for he other peoples of Europe To anyone familiar with the utterly callous Nazi attitude toward sarva- jon of the Greeks, Poles and other conquered peo- ole the ReichmarshaIs assertion that it is not his wish that the people in German-held territories suffer hunger has the ring of ghastly mockery of the fact.
 Goering was not however, expressing new Nazi policy, not anticipated by most of the earth's population. The Germans have already shown themselves to be indifferent to the suffering of conquered people. The announcement of any other policy in the light of all that has happened would have been surprising.

HOW TO START A RIOT

Recently in Dedham, Mass coffee riot was pulled off in one of the grocery stores. The reason Dealers had been limited to 65 percent of their for mer purchases.
 But from until November 21 at midnight, the path has been opened to wholesale rioting throughout the States by the recent announcement of the Office of Price Administration that on that date retail sales will stop and ratoning will begin eight days later.
 It seems to that such premature announce mentS almost a month ahead of the time the ration ing will go into effect only to encourage hoarders and make larger dent in the apparent scarce coffee stock
 From now until November 21, housewives in the continental United States will be bounding their grocers in an attempt to lay away stockpie. Golf fee riots such the previewed in Dedham probably will be widespread.
 Any person with an of brains should real ize that to announce that beginning November 28 civilians over Is years of age will be allowed only one pound of coffee every five weeks is to create raid coffee stores.
 posed ratoning so far ahead of schedule would therefore to be only for the purpose of creat ing such run coffee And surely no surplus stock has piled up rationing wouldn't be necessary
 The only way to apply ratoning is to apply it at once and not with long period of notice to en- courage hoarders to stock up and further aggravate the shortage.

Air vs. Ground Attack
Bremerton News searchlight)

Bremerton News Searchlight
 The argument goes merrily on between the air power enthusiasts and those who think that the air. plane vital it is, can't win a war alone. Such persuasive friends of the plane Major de Seversky convinced that if the United Nations could build and keep in operation enough planes Germany and Japan could be literally oblterated from the skies and that major land operations would thus be un- necessary. The fact that the airplane has not yet proven decisive weapon means nothing in their opinion-because nation has as yet been able to keep up air attacks the scale necessary The ma- jority of military experts don't go as far as this. They argue that relatively few of the bombs dropped by planes ever hit important obectives and that the damage done can a rule, be swiftly remedied. They point out that constant progress being made in air defenSe-such camOuflage, anti-alrcraft guns and fighter planes They think that the air plane do all-important job in "softening up enemy and in disrupting his supply lnes-but that it will be up to navies and armies to finish the job No one can say with certainty which side is right. In the meantime, the United Nations high command continues to prepare for a grand scale invasion of Europe If that invasion is to succeed they figure, at least a million superbly equipped fighting must be landed-and there must be another million in This, when it happens, will be the greatest military operation in history.
