WHAT OTHERS SAY


Hopkins Review: Hitler has reached
the height of his power and the free
peoples of the world face an hour OF
incredible peril. There can be no
room for faint hearts or defeatists in
America now. Victory, whatever the
cast, must be the only watchword.
Though its cost is sure to be Stagger-
ing, the cost Of defeat would be
catastrophe.
Milan Standard: We are told that a
$4,000 advertising campaign brought
in $35,000.00 in advance payments on
Canadian income taxes. Our govern
ment prefers to hire a small army
of writer's They produce long -winded
articles on a multiplicity of subjects
in which the names of department
heads are always prominent fea-
ture These productions are mailed to
newspapers in the hope that they will
be published free of charge and Incl
dentally add to the political stock
in-trade of the administration.
Long Prairie Leader: The president
vetoed the bill passed by congress to
rush the manufacture Of synthetic
rubber from surplus grain and ap-
pointed commission to make further
study of the situation. Time is the
vital factor in getting this rubber
program started. The war department
is not only getting apprehensive over
the probable rubber shortage, but
every motor vehicle driver is anxious
also. The nation wants rubber
Whether more study Of the matter is
needed, we do not know. But the
commission had better hurry. The
people are getting mad.

advice to American citizens would be
first, do not play hog, and next, dc
not growl.
Leave such things for the animals
and those without intelligence.
There will not be enough of many
things to go around. That means every
patriotic citizen win deny himself.
To grouse about it will be very poor
taste.
There may be less meat for Amer
leans but more than for anyone else
in the world. There will be less sugar
but more of it than the public really
needs. There will be too little rubber
and gasoline, but the former genera.
tions of Americans had little or none
of either.
The world and the nation will face
one of the greatest emergencies oi
history yet Americans will have al

Saltwater News-Now We have 9
Seventh Column to go hand-in-hano
with fifth column saboteurs and sixth
column rumor-mongers. The Seventh
Column, so termed by a leading in
surance company, is the carelessness
which leads to industrial accidents
And if you don't think this Seventh
Column is cutting down production OF
war materials, consider this. Since
Pearl Harbor more persons have been
killed in war plants than in actual
combat. Last year, 102,50O Americans
were killed, almost 100000 injured
in accidents of one type or another
We simply can't win the war with
that many casualties on the home
front
E. P. Drummond in the Cook Herald
II think there is just wee bit OF
sentiment tucked away some where
in all of us, and I'm no exception.
1t was a lot of fun writing up the
two golden weddings we have had in
our community the past two weeks
There's something that makes us fee
that this is a pretty good old country
after all when folks can live happily
together fifty years. Some Of those
Hollywood stars could get a few
pointers on decent living and a life
well spent, by attending one of these
tributes to the institution of marriage
