Srd WAR LOAN MONEY MUST
COME FOM YOU AND YOUR
NEIGHBORS

Where's the money comisg from
Are you one of those Americans
who are asking this question as you
read the round numbers of the Third
War Loan goal?
Does the goal of Is billion dollars
brighten you?
Well, it shouldn't.
Idle bank deposits are rising at
the rate of 4 billion dollars every
quarter. Your own bank account,
whether it is only few dollars or
several hundred dollars in checking
account, is part of that sum. That
money, the Treasury Department
says, should be converted into War
Bonds to do an urgent job now
backing up the invasion of your
uniformed relatives and friends.
How many persons in your family
are working? In the pre-war period
chances are that your family lived
on one income. Those extra war jobs
mean doubled, and in many in
stances, tripled family income.
Don't think of your neighbors
with that certain look and say to
your wife: boy! they must be roll
ing in money" How about yourself
Make every excess dollar count in
this war. Some member of your fam
lily or a close friend in uniform is
perhaps right up in front where the
stake is life or death. Your excess
money may mean new lifesaving
helmet. may help to pay for an extra
tank or an extra plane.
It's your money that's in the fight
Without it, this invasion might end
in disaster. Your relatives and
friends can't fight this kind of wal
with their hands.

1OO,OOO,OOO HOMELESS IN
ALLIED LANDS

Invading armies have driven some
100,000,000 United Nations people
from their homes, and 68 100000
of them "are dependent upon out
side aid for their very existence"
the New York Committee of the Ma
tional War Fund said.
The Committee said reports re-
ceived by the War Fund member ag-
encies from representatives on the
scene in the various countries show
ed that 5O.000,O00 Chinese were
homeless and that 3S,0O0,OOO Rus
slams had been "driven from one part
of the country ito another as the in
vaders advanced.
Poland was estimated to have
100000 homeless; Czechoslovakia,
775,00O; Yugoslavia, 100000; Bel
gium, 45O .OO0;l Holland, 100000;
Greece, $50 900; and Luxembourg,

NON-FATHERS GOING FIRST
INTO ARMY

Every available non-father will
be called into the armed forces be-
fore the general induction of fathers
begins, Selective Service Headquar-
ers said, ordering a new scraping OF
the manpower barrel.
It directed local selective service
boards throughout the nation to be-
gin an inventory of men without de-
pendents to determine that they are
correctly classified.
Non-fathers who have been error
eously placed in occupationally de-
ferred classifications, or those in AT
who are now physically qualified
for Army life, will be shifted to la
ready for immediate induction.
Then, the October call for about
BIZ. 900 men will be divided into
two sections for each State. State
directors first will call for all avail
able non-fathers, regardless of indi-
vidual board quotas If the States
quota is not then filed, fathers will
be indicted to make up the deficcien-
cy.

A. A. AS HEAD DEFENDS EAST
ON USE OF GAS

Protesting that the motor fuel
equalization program for the East
is "only a theory" the American
Automobile Association suggested
that Officials quit blaming motorists
for consuming gasoline they are not
getting"
The Association declared that the
civilian gasoline quota of 342,OOO
barrels day in the eastern shortage
area is 10000 barrels short of the
seaboard states proportionate share,
based on prerationing consumption.
Motorists are sick and tired OF
alibis," said Thomas P. Henry of
Detroit, President of the A. A. A.
"They rightly resent the recurring
accusation that they are consuming
more gasoline than they should
an accusation which is largely with
out warrant"
Mr. Henry said in statement
that .445,000 barrels was the aver
age total daily consumption east of
the Rocky Mountains before ration
ing, with eastern states getting AZ
percent. southwestern states 1875
pecent, and midwestern states, ASS
percent.
The combined quota for the whole
area presently, he added, is 100000
barrels, of which eastern states get
35.5 per cent, southwestern states,
146 per cent, and midwestern states,
400 per cent.
Mr.. Henry added, eve have no
quarrel with the quota assigned to
the Middle West and Southwest but
added:
1--WE do, however, definitely feel
that there should be no Guessing over
the fact that it (the equalization pro-
gram) is tagging behind to the ex
tent that no allowance whatever has
been made for the lifting of the ban
on non-essential driving"

DEGREES DON'T PRODUCE cows

For sometime past the American
people have been reading that they
can expect butter and milk rationing.
They are therefore, partially prepar-
ed for such drastic steps. The civil
ian butter reserve is at the vanishing
point, which means that our milk
supply is below needed amounts.
Farm labor costs, dairy feed. seed
and everything the dairy farmer
uses, have shown either normal or
abnormal rises. No matter how fine
our economic planners spin their
theories. all of them combined can
not produce milk COW in less than
three years, by law, executive decree,
or otherwise.
There is just one way to get more
milk, and that is to allow the farmer
who produces it fair and reasonable
profit based on the cost of produc-
ton and labor involved. Until that
is done, the milk, butter and cheese
supply will grow shorter and there
is no use in kidding the American
people about the issue.

A MILLION DOLLARS A DAY FOR
HITLER

Fire losses in the United States
averaged more than $1,OOO,OO0 a
day for the first six months of this
year, according ito preliminary re-
ports.
Fires are like strikes. Most OF
them are preventable. and are there
fore inexcusable. A fire in key plant
meass production Interruptions all
along the line. Managemests and en-
ployees should do everything in
their power to erase fire hazards.
A single pile of waste that would
have taken but moment to remove
may, tomorrow, wipe out million
dollar armament concern. The man
who failed to remove the danger will
suddenly realize that his claims to
patriotic citizenship ring little hol-
low. Somewhere, thanks to his negli-
gence, man in uniform will suffer
for the lack of needed bit of equip
ment. The imagined chain of events
as so often pictured in advertise
ments wherein a soldier dies because
of the failure of worker to produce
to capacity, is doubly applicable to
those who are careless with fire.
Every community has its fire
prevention authorities. They work
night and day to curb loss of life
and property from this menace. Far
too often their task is made unduly
difficult through want of public CO.
operation. They repeatedly seek to
drive home the truth that fire pre-
vention, to be. really effective, must
begin with the individual. 1t is time
that we as individuals realized that.

FIRE SAFEGUARD WEEK
SLATED

President Roosevelt has designated
the week starting Oct.3, as Fire Pre-
vention Week and declared that de-
struction by fire in this country since
Pearl Harbor has been comparable
to the damage caused by enemy
bombs in England in the first two
years of the war.
Asserting that the "war program
is menaced by an alarming increase
in preventable fire losses" the
chief executive said the losses, were
as real as if wrought by enemy bomb
ers or saboteurs.
"These preventable fires" he said,
ARE being measured in thousands
of workers killed and disabled; vast
destruction of critical raw material,
food and other vital supplies for our
armed forces and civilian population;
the ruin of war plants, factories.
homes and machinery many
