HOW LONG SINCE THE
LAST DEFENSE STAMP?
(Oroyille Mercury-Register)


What has become of the fine fervor
with which we used to take each bit of
grocery or theater change and HE our
selves to the nearest defense stamp Win
dow for ten or twenty-five or fifty cent
mucllage backed square bearing the
words America On Guard?
Maybe the pay roll deduction plan of
purchasing war bonds has made some of
us feel that we should not be expected
to do more. Maybe with the increase in
the cost of living and higher taxes we
don't have much change. Be that as it
may, there remain lot of dimes and
quarters and half dollars that would
still find their way to the United States
Government, via the war stamp route, if
we hadn't lost that initial awareneSs of
the essential part each one of us would
have to play in protecting ourselves and
the things We hold dear.
And then there may be those vino think
that the breaks are coming our way;
that we can sit back now and let the
Army and the Navy and the Marines
carry on from here and get the situation
we'll in hand.
We have heard about those breaks
Hitler missed his after Dunkirk and Jap
an missed hers after Pearl Harbor but
when the time comes for the United
Nations to follow up their opportunities
and hit the enemy again and again we
know that they will know how to do it.
The question is will they have the equip
ment with which to follow through? And
when the boys come home will we have
financed the war in such way as to
have a country left for them free from
the danger of initiation? That is where
we come in.
Let us get out those half filled defense
stamp albums and fill them as rapidly
as we can. Then let us get another one
and fill it and fill them again and again.
In other words, if we expect our fight
ing forces to carry on sustained drive
against the Axis then they expect us to
do our part here at home. That part in
cludes a sustained program of purchas-
ing the defense of the United States And
let US be humbly grateful that we are
purchasing it with dollars and cents and
not with hunger and fear and death.

BATTING a TRAP
WITH EAGERNESS

1t is an old trick in the prize ring for
a fighter not Just sure of himself TO
fake weariness and virtual defeat in or
der to lure his opponent into the kind of
over-confidence which leaves wide open
ing for Sunday punch
1t has happened time and again that
boxer, practically beaten in attempt
ing to match his enemy's strength, has
suddenly changed his tactics, let his
knees wobble and his muscles go appar-
emily limp, until his opponent has been
convinced that there is no fight left III
him. And it has happened time and
again that the opponent, too cockSure.
has come in with fists failing and guard
down, only to find that the other man
was not as badly off as he seemed. The
results are often disastrous for the over
confident one
The Germans seem to be pretty badly
battered on the fighting fronts. Their
physical strength has been dissipated
and their attacking forces blunted. They
are in bad way.
Until now, the Germans have tried to
cover up their defeats from their people,
or to albi them. But suddenly, and
strangely, they have changed.
The surrender of German armies be-
fore Stalingrad was announced by the
German radio to the dirge of dOleful
music All public amusement places were
closed for four days Coincidentally,
Berlin told its people that the Nazi arm
les are hard up in Africa-which they
undoubtedly are. Berlin permitted news
of these various measures and broadcasts
to reach the anti-aXis world.
A strange shift of propaganda.
1t might be Just straightforward fac
ing of the facts.
But is it?

bombers struck at the chief REIN
forcement base for TuniSia, further
hampering the axis forces there
awaiting an all-out Allied assault.
Naples had been brought within
$50 miles of Allied Middle Eastern
based planes by Gen. Sir Bernard
Montgomery'S capture of TripOli and
it was believed that the raid was
but a foretaSte of what was in
store for southern Italy.
SUPPLY ROUTE CUT
Even before the raid, Spanish
adviceS from Algiers had reported
that the axis forces in TuniSia were
starting to feel the lack of regular
supplies, especially fuel, because of
the effective work of Allied war
ships and planes which were sink
ing many ships in the channel be-
tween Tunisia and Sicily.
In addition to the Naples raid,
which the communique emphasized
was on a large scale, fighter bomber
planes fought through bad weather
to make a successful attack on rail
communications in southern Sicily
and to shoot down an enemy trans
port plane.
Other lighter-bomberS attacked
and dispersed enemy armored cars
in the central sector through which
the British Eighth Army forces of
Gen. Montgomery are marching to-
ward junction with the Allied army
in Tunisia.

FIVE HUNDRED
PLANES FOR CHINA

An American ace home on leave from
China quietly voiced the opinion the other
day that if the American air force iii
China had 500 planes it could combine
with Chinese ground forces to drive the
Japs out of that country
The statement received little notice
throughout the United States. Not near
ly as much notice as it was entitled to-
Five hundred planes
Probably less than we produce in one
day.
Yet 500 planes would, in the estimate
of an experienced fler who has been on
the spot, in close touch with Air Force
Commander Claire Chennault IN Chna,
serve to help drive the enemy comp pletely
out of the country which has Sacrlfleed
most given most men and taken more
years of brutal warfare than any other.
1t is hard to understand why we have
not sent 500 planes to China 1t Is
startling to find an aerial fighting man
making a comment which reveals how
very little help we have given the Chinese
Perhaps there are considerations OF
which we are not fully aware, standing
in the way of delivery of help to the far
East Perhaps the supply problem Is en-
tirely too difficult. Perhaps it is far more
vital to send all of the planes we produce
to the boiling pean-African front.
Yet 500 planes is such a pitifully small
amount. when we talk in terms of send
ing a thousand planes a night over Europ-
can cities. They need so little, the Chi
nese-and evidently we have given them
far, far less. even, then they need.
We talk of the things we owe to those
who fight at our side Well, here is one
debt we cannot overlook, a debt increased
by the interest Of our own inability to
help.

that afflict the human body, hay fever
elected about the least sympathy The

ferings that manifested themselves in
such homely forms as sneezing and a

appreciation of what he was going
through as the man who chased an elusive

Nowadays people know more about hay
fever and recognize it as a real and very
troublesome ailment There will be re-

This Victory Garden campaign
has some strange angles.
The big angle is to get six mil
lion farm gardens and u million
city and suburban gardens under
cultivation. As there are approXim-
ately 38 million families in the
United States, this means that one
family out of every three is sup
posed to spade up and start plant
ing.
The six million farm gardens
figure will fool you. Offhand
YOU might think that every farm
had garden, but il doesn't
work that way. II used to be
that nearly every farm had a
vegetable patch and raised most
of what il ate, but in this mod
crn age of automobiles and
specialization, many farms have
given up raising vegetables alto
gether and in some areas the
farmers are the largest cOnsum-
ers of store foods, consuming
more canned goods than city
folks. So, the Department of
Agricuiture's campaign to get a
garden dug on every farm is
what you might call revolution
airy.
Some farms do now produce as
much as three-fourths of all the
meats, eggs, milk. vegetables and
other groceries consumed on the
place. Therefore, the experts figure
il they can raise the national
farm garden fielding average TO the
point where farms produce three
fourths of all the food farm faml-
les consume, that will be relieving
the tightness of the national food
situation considerably.
AS for the IL million town and
city gardeners-roughly three out
of every eight urban dwellers will
be expected to raise bean, g
tomato, a radish and several cal
louSes-there aren't am definite
goals for quantity. Anything Is
supposed to be help. The average
adult puts away about ton oi
groceries a year. That's little owe
five pounds day, which seems
high but statistic nevertheless
II the average urban garden plot
yielded Is pounds of vegetables fo'
Is weeks that would be harvest
of 225 pounds, or between three
and four per cent of the three-
person family's food consumption,
1t would also be a miracle.

ONE PLANE LOST

Only one plane was lost in all
operations reported.
Spanish dispatches said that only
about 30 per cent of the supplies
intended for the axis armies we're
reaching their destination and most
of their fuel was being sent by
plane.
On the coastal road west of Tri-
poll Eighth Army troops we're in
contact with enemy forces in the
Tunisian border area at a point
west of Pisida, which is IL miles
inside Libya.
The Allied radio France at AL
giers reported that Eighth Army
forward elements were now only
eight miles from the Marcth defense
line 70 miles inside Tunisia.
