THE END is

Watch outI Don't slackeni Don't
let the dazzling rainbow of vic
tories won blind US to the fact that
the storm is not over, that the
clouds are still dark above u.s. The
end is not yet Now is not the time
to let down our efforts and start
scrabbling for the prizes of peace.
This war is going to last a long
time, no matter when the hostilities
may end. War is not just the time
of fighting, but also the time it
takes to struggle back to normal
way of living.
The end is not yet We cannot
win the war Oy over confidence.
We cannot assume that the game
is over, just when the play begins
to run our way. The decision will
come at the end of the game when
the last play has been made and the
last battle fought. We cannot leave
the field until the final second of
the game.
We cannot win by wishing. We
have advanced this far by sacrifice.
How great a sacrifice we are learn
ing as the casualty lists pour in
the lists not OF rich or poor, worker
or student, Black or White, Cath
Ollie, Protestant or Jew-but simply
of Americans who died for Amer
lea.
The quickest way to win the war
is the best way to win it. To win
the war we must all work. We must
have neither idle hours nor idle
dollars. But money is not enough.
Production is not enough. Men are
not enough. We must add to these
that extra effort, that all essential

We must not allow ourselves to

Farmers Paying Off Debts

In an address on the National
Farm and Home Hour last week,
Secretary Wickard pointed out that
farmers are using part Of their
extra money to pay off loans which
have been made them by the gov
eminent. Said he, Farm Credit
Administration reports that 10000
land bank loans were paid in full
before the maturity date during
the spring of this year. Advanced
payments on land bank loans up
to April totaled 81 million dol
lars"
Continuing, ne said, Farm Sc
curity Administration estimates
that collections on rehabilitation
loans for the fiscal year ending
June 80 will total about 1870 million
dollars, or third more than the
total of such loans made during
the year. From THE beginning of
the FSA to the first of this year,
IS percent of the total amount due
on all of these so-called high risk
loans had been repaid on time.
And enough advance payments had
been made to bring the repay
ments up to 81 percent of the to-
tai amount due. This is a magnifi-
cent record. 1t justifies the govern
ment's faith in low-income farm
people"
AS for tenants who are climbing
into ownership through FSA loans,
the Secretary pointed out that they
are $1,000 600 ahead of schedule.
Negro rehabilitation borrowers
number $1,000 and tenant-purchase
borrowers. nearly 5000.

express themselves as being anxious

Negro race, will have to realize

would stop so much quarreling
among themselves, so much agita-

with their personal greatness, and
come down to earth, mingle with
the soldiers, find out their prob

things they are doing, denounce
! them for the wrong and then take
their complaints to the proper au-
thorities where they can be discus
sed and rectified in a just and legal
manner, we would be coming a
long way toward doing away with

HOME-CANNED FRUIT JUICES
WILL ADD VARIETY TO DIET

For variety-and to save food
coupons next winter-home econo-
mists of the U. S. Department OF
Agriculture are suggesting home
canned fruit juices. Those softer
fruits which the hOmemaker must
discard in whole fruit canning will
give excellent juice provided they
are free from bruises and decay
and not over-ripe.
You may use rhubarb, berries,
cherries, currants. plums, cranber-
ries, or grapes, preferably locally
grown since freshness is import
ant. To preserve the fruity taste,
juice for beverages should be ex-
tracted from the raw or slightly
heated fruit. Apples and peaches
do not give up their juices readily
when raw or slightly heated and
are not recommended. Citrus juices
are hard to put up at home and
take some sugar.
To can fruit juice for beverages
wash fruit but do not soak it. Re-
move any pits and crush the fruit.
Heat it gently to 170oF. (below
until soft. Strain it
through cloth bag, and If you |
wish, add sugar. one-half to one !
