The United States Marines, those
gallant warriors of the sea, land
and air, are, according to reports
coming in over the wire, hourly
bettering their position in the
South Pacific, where they opened
an all-out attack on the Japanese
invaders in the Solomon Islands
last Friday. Despite fantastic
claims by the Toxic radio to the
contrary, the Marines are slowly
but surely driving the "Nips" into
the BUSH where the cannibals (who
inhabit this portion of the interiorl
will. make some tasty Long Pig
banquets out Of the outsmarted
Japs. .a s IL.
There is no doubt that this at
tack by the United States will
prove costly and many fine young
men will offer up their all on the
altar of Mars. The loss, in ships
and equipment also will be high,
but the contribution to morale will
be great, and those who die will
not pass in vain, for every blow
struck in the South Pacific helps
the. Allied cause in China, and
Russia and on the burning sands
of Egypt. The Axis powers have
set up pattern Of world conquest,
this pattern must be destroyed; it
can only be destroyed through sac
rifice. The Marines, realized this
when they started the counter-in- |
vasion of the Solomons. They are
willing to pay the price for u1ti-
mate victory. Are you?

In Russia, the same gloomy pic
ture appears. The Germans, led by
Bloody" Book, crawl over the
mounds of their own dead to strike
at the vital oil and industrial. cen
tiers in South Russia. Despite hero
ic resistance the Soviet forces are
being slowly pressed back against
the towering snow-clad mountains
of the Caucasus. In the vital
Krasnodar sector a huge Russian
force faces entrapment and pos
sible annihilation; but is there
any talk of surrender? There is
no spirit of surrender in the Rus
sian. camp--only bitter resistance,
and faith that the forces gathering
in England and Ireland will be
used to open second front on the
Continent and force the Huns" to
ease their pressure. Let's hope
and pray that the gallant Reds"
will not be let down. e

Because it contains such a vital
message and appeal, am using the
following article prepared by the
Tri-State Packers Association in
my column this week. We all
know what vital part food plays
in winning any war, and, there is
food aplenty on the Peninsula and
enough factories to place all the
surplus in cans, but labor is hard
to get-and that is where you may
be able to help; therefore, l again
appeal to you to read the article
and be governed accordingly.
Are you an American?
"Are you interested in helping
win this war?
Can you spare few hours each
day or week to help assure your
self, your government, your coun-
try, our fighting men (your brother,
father, son, friend, and the Allied
Nations) that an adequate supply
of food will be on hand when and
where needed? If the answer to
each of the above is YES, then you
can help, And if you are sincere
in your answer, you will help. How?
By peeling tomatoes, inspecting to-
matoes, cutting specks and defects
out of tomatoes; by helping in the
lima bean factories,
you may not be a professional
canning-house worker You may
not be able to earn the big war
time city wages. You may not par
ticularly like the types of work
that are necessary. The boys on
Bataan didn't like their job either
hut they gave their lives to do !
their bit for you. You can at least
give your time to help out, too,. if |
you will. Will you2
"The tomato is the most essential
food for this war. The Eastern
Shore is the biggest concentrated
lima bean, and tomato producing
and canning section in the world.
The war job of the Eastern Shore
is to see that every possible lima
bean and tomato is grown, picked
and canned. The farmers have done
their part so far by growing what
appears to be a bumper crop These
will have to be harvested and the
boys and girls under 16 years of
age can do this job If they will
The Gamers have done their part
50 far by getting their facilities in
order SO that the vegetables can be
canned. Every pound of vegetable
CAN be saved if every available
man and woman on the Shore will
do his part by helping out in the
factories.
1--WE are appealing for your as
sistance. An appeal of this sort
has never been made before. We
wish IT were not necessary. now
