No Needy Families
To Require
Christmas Cheer
Organizations at loss
for annual hustle of
preparing presents

. A most unuausl situation has de-
veloped.
There are no needy families in our
district and the several torganiza-
tions which ordinarily take great
pleasure in providing baskets of
food, toys, clothing, etc., are at a
loss for something to do.
So far as is known there are no
destitute families there are no fam
lilies where the Riddles will lack for
toys or Christmas cheer.
The local relief organization is
casting about for someone to relieve.
The theater, which ordinarily helps
out with contributions, is up against
it for some place to put the stuff,
if they should decide to collect it.
One family, after having been on
the local relief lists igor years,
proudly announced that they were
now on their feet and able to take
care of themselves. Another, one
of the longest standing cases, has
asked for help in making out their
income tax report.

.S1iIorman NagIey Says We're Lucky to H1De Pants:
Wife Ought to Quit Partying and Stay Home

at home and do something a littl,
more constructive than keeping vi
social obligations.
You have us boys and men out
here now fighting to preserve the
high standard of living we have al
enjoyed. The sooner you make youl
sacrifices on larger scale, the soon
er we will get back.
We are out here gambling our men
against theirs. The stakes are rath-
er high. The ante is one damn
good American life apiece for each
round. They don't bluff very cas-
lily. If you haven't got the stuff to
make good showdown they grat
ante and all. If you lose the frs,
round you are not dealt another
hand and given the chance to gain
back the loss.
Now If you people at home hadn't
been busy gadding around, paying
social calls, wasting materials and
money, and instead had bought war
bonds with the money spent, some
soldier, sailor or marine might have
had a better chance of holding a
better hole card. You must realize
some way that each dollar you waste
might be costing somebody else q
prize that is irreplaceable.
What do you say we quit this
shiIly-shally and all the unneces-
sary entertainment and pull the belt
up a little tighter around the mid
die. Get that triple threat star
back in the game and quit fumbling
the ball on the 20-yard line.
Lets see a little more in the papers
about how much effort everyone Is
putting in this fight for peace, In
stead of all the gadding about. A
little more support from the side
lines in literary form would help
the morale considerably.

something no weatherman has ever
dared to do before, but MIR. Morgan

three inches of snow measured, the
moisture content wasn't as heavy
in the Thanksgiving storm, for the
moisture measured but 80 inches.
Temperature records for the past
week, with those of the same week

, This United States, as recognized
by all, is the greatest country in
the world. But no country or or
ganization is any stronger than the
people themselves make it. "a chain
is no stronger than its weakest
link" an old saying that fits per-
ffectly.
My experiences in this great battle
for peace, probably not of a large
scale as yet, however large or small
an opinion has been steadily coming
to form in my mind that the war
effort in the minds and actions
some people is still only an effort
and not a sacrifice all" PROPOSE
ton, like it should be, or putting 1t
more nearly correct, like it has to be
in order to come out on top.
Most of us are familiar with the
game of football, many of us have
played it. Have you ever been out
there playing your heart out against
one of your worst rivals with your
triple-threat star sitting on the
bench with an injury? OF course
the men that are out there playing
the game, are putting everything
they have in the struggle, but that
old spark just doesn't seem to be
there. Sure the home team will
finally win, because our men have
been well trained, they are heavier
and faster than the opponent, but 1t
is going to be a tougher battle, a
decisive showing is going to take
longer and the boys are going to suf-
fer more bruises and hard knocks
than they would If the star were
there putting the old spark in the
game.
You people at home are the all
stars. You are the spark that Is
necessary. AS the game stands
now the score is about 26 to o and
the end Of the second quarter. It
Is half time and q pep talk IS most

been obtained for a registrant so
classified, the local board win reopen
