no matter where the bugle is used
thousands must be bought out of
the money we are investing in War
Bonds. Back the attack with an ex-

One of the most heroic and glor-
ious pages in the history of Amer
lean arms is being forged on the
bloody battlefield at SalernO. Italy.
The Germans have managed to
mass countless of the terrible SS's
in the hills behind the beaches and
the brave Americans are being
subjected to terrible artillery
barrage. However. General Mark
Clark is ordering his men to dig
in. and before long the allies will
land enough men and material to
secure numerical and mechanical
superiority and with the air super
iOrity which they already hold they
will drive the dastardly Huns be-
fore them.

In the Southwest Pacific. the !
allied forces are everywhere vic

their very lives from S alamaua. |
At Lac the defenses of the "Nips"

Fire losses in the United States |
averaged more than $1,000,000 a !
day for the first six months of this /
year, according to preliminary re-
ports. Fires are like strikes. Most
of them are preventable, and are
therefore ineXcusable. A fire in a
key plant means production inter
all along the line. Man
agements and employees should do
everything in their power to erase
fire hazards. A single pile of waste
that would have taken but a mo-
ment to remove may, tomorrow,
wipe out million dollar armament
concern. The man who failed to re-
move the danger will suddenly
realize that his claims to patriotic
ring a little hollow.
thanks to his negli

The imagined chain of
events as so often pictured in ad-
wherein a soldier dies
because of the failure of a worker
to produce to capacity, is doubly

Every community has its fire pre-

night and day to curb loss of life
and property from this menace.
Far too often their task is made

Everyone knows that this nation .
must collect taXes-heavier taxes
han any individual ever dreamed S
If. But an increasing number of I
public officials are awakening to
he fact that the tax load on bust [
less can be made so heavy that it f
will actually kill that source of tax '
'evenue, and in so doing destroy
he jobs which provide the wages \
md salaries that. in turn, pay the g
lillions in personal income taxes.
A. Willis Robertson, v
