ESCAPE PATHWAY
One, on the Taman Peninsula

of escape by way OF the Kerch

combined Russian land, air and sea
attack.
The other was Immediately below

What the German civilians did

the Russians yesterday captured

Ycya river to cut off escape via

It has been often said that there
are no frontiers in this country, that
all the land has been possessed and
that there is no place to which the
pioneers can move. True there are
no more. frontiers in the old sense,
such as free land and the like, but
there are frontiers in other fields
more potential, more thrilling, more
fraught with possibilities than were
ever possessed by the frontiers Of
70 and 100 years ago. There are
frontiers in aviation, in electricity,
in medicine, in invention and dis
covery, the surface of which has not
been even scratched. There are
frontiers in industry and farming
and stock raising that no one has yet
opened UP. There are frontiers to
which the young men and young
women of tomorrow must and will
turn. There are frontiers in living
that no one has yet found. Here
lies a vast unknown. We think
sometimes we have probed the depth
of living and discovered its Utmost
secrets, but wehave but scratched
the surface here also. There lies
ahead in all fields of human activ-
tiles discoveries greater than any
one has yet known. Truly the real
frontiers are still to be discovered,
explored and developed. u Fl.

It is reported that the other day
Hitler ordered every man, woman
and child in Germany to have gas
masks at hand continually, day and
night. The natural inference is
that Hitler, when he sees the jig
is up, will resort to the use of gas
and expects the favor to be re-
turned. It will be recalled that at
the time the Maginot line was brok-
en- some of its defenders said they
were stupiified with gas released in
bombs. On the occasion of his speech
after RommeIs retreat Hitler said
that the chemists and scientists Of
Germany had not been idle and
when the time came he would "stu-
pefy' the forces in North Africa. It
is known fact that Hitler's planes
have not been bombing England and
most of them have been withdrawn
from the Russian front to southern
Europe. There may be nothing to it.
Maybe these things don't fit to-
gether. but no harm could come
in being ready for just such a move.

For the past several months the
rationing of meat has been on the
honor basis. That is, every citizen
has been appealed to limit his con-
sumption of meat to two and a half
pounds week that the needs Of the
soldiers on the fighting fronts may
be supplied. Most people have COM
piled with the request and have
periodically limited themselves to
the suggested amount. AS is true
always when the honor basis is in
voked a certain number can't meet
the test and have been chiseling and
grabbing more than their quota
The result has been that those who
are periodically complying with the
appeal have not always been able
to secure their quota because a few
noncompliers are getting more than
their share. In the matter of food
we are in the situation of a group
of men wrecked at sea afloat on a
life raft. One of the number has
canteen of water. The water,
without which none of the men
can live over few hours, be-
comes as result of the emergency,
the property Of all, to be shared
equally. The possessor of the water
would not think of refusing to share
it with his comrades or taking a
spoonful more than his share. Such
a failure would be vigorously and
generally condemned.

1--WE hear a lot these days." a
local man remarked recently, "to
the effect that workers in a defense
industry in war time should not be
denied the right to strike. I don't
see it that way. have two sons in
the army on foreign soil. They
receive but a few dollars a month
and are living and fighting under
the most difficult conditions. Their
hardsslips are great yet they dare
not strike. If they did they would
be court-martialed. am not saying
they would want to strike. They
are too good patriots for that. My
boys were taken out of school by
the draft board and put into the
army. Their whole plan of life has
been disrupted. It makes me very
weary to hear some fellow who has
been left at home with his family
in good comfortable, safe job at
a fat salary, taking advantage Of
the emergency, say that he should
not be denied the right to strike.
I am hoping and predicting that
when the war is over the American
Legion is going to be strong enough
to put through complete conscrip-
ton in which in the event of war,
labor and wealth is conscripted the
same as my boys have been. It is
the only fair and honest way to do
it."

vEGETBLEs FOR VICTORY

Victory is our all-inportant OBJ
jective today. It is dependent upon
our fighting men :. on the workers
in factories and on farms . . on
the supply of food, which is now
being increased by the vegetables
that home folks are raising in their
backyards. Food will help win the
war, and thousands of backyard VIC
tory gardens throughout America
are making a valuable contribution
to the health of the nation and to
victory.
To us, victory means an oppor-
tlInity to live normal lives in free
land. To the Axis, it means slave
world dominated by master race.
In the advertisements of such
newspapers as this-something con-
sidered unnecessary in totalitarian
world where the dictators would de-
eide what we should eat and wear
and do and read-you will find help
full information about raising victory
gardens, messages about seeds, tools,
fertilizers and the various things
necessary to successfully raise
worthwhile garden crops.
Today when so many products are
rationed and 1t is so important to
conserve automobiles, gasoline, rub
her and other vital materials, the
newspaper with its advertising col
a1mns plays a greater-than-ever part
in our daily lives. It keeps us in
formed on commodities and services
available and where to obtain them
under wartime conditions with
greatest economy Of time, money and
transportation.
Advertising is an expression of
the free enterprise for which our
ancestors fought and for which we
are fighting today. To choose and
buy through advertising IS a privi-
1ege that only free people can enjoy.
Shop the wartime way-from ad
to ad, instead of from store to store.
