THROUGH
HAZEL
EYES
BY Hazel Brannon

The biggest job before Holmes county
citizens now is to subscribe to the
Second War Loan. With a goal Of
$265, 900 for Holmes county so far we
have pledged $87,741.25 of our resources
70 defeat the Axis. Workers in the
various communities throughout the
county will call on you within the next
few days il they have not done so and
ask your support of the Second War
Loan.
The government does not have to ask
for your money to win the war. 1t copld
take II together with all your resources.
But the American government does not
believe in doing things that way. Thus
you are called upon to act in the spirit
of cooperation, to loan your dollars so
the economy of your country can
remain sound.
What you loan to the government will
be repaid with interest. Others, those
on the battlefronts, are giving much
more. They are paying with their lives
for the security we enjoy at home. The
least we can do 10 lend our money with
ont stint.

The latest insult to our fighting men
In uniform is the work stoppage at the
Highland Park plant of the Ford Motor
Company in Detroit which produces
armored war vehicles.
Il seems that authorities broke up q
crap game in = lavatory in the plant
one night last week and ordered the
eropshooters to report to the labor re-
lations office. Five hundred men stop
ped work Immediately at 2:45 A. M. in
protest. When the day shift came on
at $3.50 A. N. another 2.700 men refused
to 60 to work. By 0 A. M. another 1000
men In another unit Of the plant also
stopped work. The workers who refused
to work remained in the plants, milling
Gaping efforts Of others to continue
production.
When q country is at war there is no
excuse good enough for any work stop
page or any strike. The man on the
battle front cannot function without the
support Of the armaments the product
ion front creates. Further than that he
might as we'll commit suicide as to be
ut the front without proper equipment
and adequate replacements.
For the men in the production plants
20 fail to furnish that equipment through
stoppage or strikes is nothing short Of
criminal. They should be treated as
criminals. Many people think they
should be sent to the front. Such men
are not good enough or brave enough
to fight for their country. It is an
insult to the men in uniform to say
they should be put into the army.
Sueh men should be hanged.

white skin, the straight little nose,
something about his small mouth,

keep it under control, reminded her
Of Denise. She could feel his trem-
bling, as he regarded Ter silently,
neither responding to her embrace
nor repulsing it. She thought there

dark eyes, although the set small
mouth would not give in to them.
