BIG RAPIDS, March There
Is little outward difference in this
little city from that bright day in
October, 1910, when Company K of
the Michigan National Guard en-
trained at the Pennsylvania Rail-
road station to move south for
training.
Big Rapids has had its armory
for many years and beginning with
the Spanish-American War, has
supplied the state and nation with
q company of infantry. Even in
the Civil War. Big Rapids boys
went forth at their country's call,
as is attested by the infantry
memorial on the court house lawn.
LOST AT BATAAN
But. if outwardly there is no
sign OF war as one walks down
the four busy blocks OF Main
street. yet inwardly there has been
apprehension ever since Pearl
THarbor.
William McDuffie and Donald
Merrill have been missing since
Bataan.
There were reports, encouraging
and enthusiastic reports. as the
Thirty-second Division move IN
Australia. They took kindly 10 the
Antipodes and soon the word came
that they were flying to New
Guinea az Port Moresby was IN
danger. Then. later they moved
over the Owen Stanley Mountains
and eventually cleared the Japs
from Buna. And there were casual
ties.

NATIONWIDE DRIVE

On January IL, Farm Mobiliza-
ton Day, as proclaimed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, will mark the be-
ginning of nationwide drive to
enlist all farmers in the 1943 food
production program. Highlighting
the day will be an all-net work
half-hour broadcast featuring in
ternationally known leaders of the
United Nations. This broadcast
scheduled for 4 p. m. will inaugur-
ate the most intensive food drive in
history. G. E. Ocheltree, chairman
of the Delaware U. S. Department
of Agriculture War Board, urges
Delaware farmers to join other
farmers throughout the nation in
enlisting all their resources for the
job ahead. Following Farm Mo-
bilization Day, farmers of the State
will be asked to cooperate in de-
veloping plans for their farms to
indicate what they plan to do and
how the agriculture agencies may
assist them with their food produc-
ton program. The Delaware USDA
War Board met Monday of this
week with representatives of gener-
al public groups and agricultural
agencies and organizations of the
State to discuss the 1943 food pro-
duction program together with the
significance of the farm mobiliza-
ton drive. "The War Board hopes, "
said Ocheltree, that all groups will
help in any way that they can to
focus attention on Farm Mobiliza-
ton Day and its significance. To
succeed in their job of producing
the food that is needed, farmers
must have the sympathetic under
standing and support of all Amer
ica."

STATE EMERGENCY TAX
One Per Cent on Income to In
crease Delaware Revenue

An emergency tax of one per
cent on gross incomes in excess of
$500 for 1913 and 1914 and cigar
cite tax were proposed by Gov.Wal-
ter w. Bacon Tuesday in his mes
sage to the General Assembly. He
explained that an additional ST.
100000 must be raised annually
during the next two fiscal years to
meet the loss of 100000 a year
which the state now faces. OF the
total drop in state revenues, he at
tributed S1,750,000 to declining
gasoline taxes and the general cur
tailment of auto driving. Race
track revenue is expected to de-
crease S350,000 if not eliminated
while liquor and other miscellane-
Gus revenues will show an estimat-
ed loss of $250,000. Stressing that
any tax enacted now should not be
regarded as permanent, Governor
Bacon declared the receipts for
these proposed new taxes should be
sufficient to balance current ex-
penditures.

OF
TIRES URGED
Ration Board Here Warns of
Congestion Before the
Deadline January 81
MUST BE APPROVED

Tire inspection stations will run
into a serious jam unless motorists
cooperate by acting Immediately to
have their tires inspected, Harley
R. Bodley, chairman of the Smyrna
War Price and Rationing Board,
asserted yesterday. He warned
that after January 31st it will be
illegal for motorists to operate
automobiles not approved for con-
tinuous operation.
Only a Few Inspected
In the four weeks since the tire
inspection plan went into effect on
December list, only small per-
centage of passenger automobiles
have been inspected, Mr.. Bodley
said. -Four weeks remain and there
is likely to be congestion at tire in
spection stations in the last few
days before the Jan. 31st deadline
unless motorists begin now to CO.
operate. Tire inspection stations
have official OPA placards and they
inspect tires under a schedule of
ceiling prices based on 25 cents a
car for simple inspection which
does not require removal of the
tires.

j. S. Soper Predicts Increase
in Farm Production for
the Year 1913
MORE LOANS PAID

]. S. Soper, Farm Security AID
ministration supervisor at Dover
declared that the increased farm
production by farmers cooperating
with the FSA last year over 1941
will be materially exceeded in Del.
aware this year. In 1941, he ex'
planned, $4,000 gallons of milk were
produced; last year, 55,042, anc
planned for this year, 60,890, which
would be an increase of 1853 pei
cent over 19441. The increase last
year was 1882 per cent.
26.2 Egg Increase
Other figures cited by him are:
Eggs: 4,254 dozen in 1941; 5,371 las
year; 1878 planned this year; increase las
year, 26.2 per cent; planned increase, 12O.l

6.1 per cent last year; 45.5 per cent plan
ned this year.
Payments Increased
1.-THE FSA farmer not only has
increased food production but he
has increased repayments to the
government" Soper said a report
of the Observation-Disclosures re.
gion for last year shows, adding
that FSA makes loans only tC
farmers who cannot get reasonable
credit elsewhere.
Another Banner Year
Soper said the results are posi-.
BILE because the small farmer ha;
a large family and is not impedec
by labor shortages. "On this anC
on the fact that the small farmers
are now getting together to share
available machinery, equipment ant
services, and to buy and market
comparatively, we base our hopes
for another banner year this year.

STAMPS INTO
! BONDS is PLEA
Say Yes" Campaign VIII Be
Held This Month; Con-
vert Stamp Books i
MANY PARTLY FILLED

During January a "Say Yesu
campaign will be held to convert all
partly-filled war stamp albums
into war bonds, the Treasury De-
partment has announced. The de-
partment's Bureau of Statistics and
Research estimates that there are
nearly 100 million partly-flled war
stamp books put away or forgotten
by their holders.
Installment Buying
Donald P. Ross, state administra-
tor of the War Savings Staff, in
announcing the opening of the Say
Yes" program, said War savings
stamps were originated for indi-
viduals who could not afford to buy
bond outright with cash. In
other words, it gave them an in
stallment buying plan. School chill
dren, housewives and others, who
want to save their extra money
rather than spend it, buy stamps,
and in this way, help to pay for the
cost of the war.
Do Not Earn Interest
"Of course, stamps do not earn
interest, and delaying the CONVEX
sion of the stamps into bonds de-
lays the maturity date of the bond.
There is also the added danger
that stamps might be lost or de-
stroyed by fire or theft. When
stamps are converted into bonds,
the bonds are registered and can
be recovered. So, in urging holds
ers of untitled stamp books to CONS
plete their books and turn them
into war bonds at this time, we feel
they have another opportunity to
serve their country. They are help
ing to pay the cost of the war by
putting these stamps up on the fir
ing line. In any war program,
money is the weapon with which
weapons are made"
State Quota Enlarged
Delaware's quota of war bonds
has been increased for January, Mr..
Ross said. 1t is very essential that
during this Say Yes" campaign all
stamp albums be turned into war
bonds in order to help meet this en-
larged quota, he added

FARM REPAIR
COURSES BEGIN.
Courses Will Start in All the
Towns Where Need for Such
Training Is Shown
NO COST TO FARMER

Farm machinery repair courses
for adult farmers will start in all
of those communities where a need
for such training has been indicat-
ed. This training program is being
made available by federal funds
provided through the vocational di-
vision of public schools of the State.
R. w. Helm is director of this pro-
gram. Courses may be started
wherever there are at least ten
farmers who want to come togeth-
er at a definite time and place to
repair their farm machinery.
Repairman to Instruct
Paul M. Hodgson, supervisor of
this rural war production training
program stated that for such a
group space may be rented, tools
provided, and the best farm ma
chinery repairman available in that
community hired to instruct the
farmers. With shortage of new
farm machinery and definite
shortage of labor Mr.. Hodgson
pointed out that farmers should
take advantage of the opportunity
provided by these courses, and look
over their farm machinery now and
bring in any equipment that needs
repair. Then under the guidance
of the local repairman put the ma
chinery in shape for spring work.
Courses are being started in school
shops, garages, warehouses, and
where ever suitable space is avail
able.
No Cost to Farmer
There is no cost to any individual.
The only thing necessary is that he
give his time and buy any new re-
pair parts which are used. Meet
ings of local advisory committees
have been held in nearly all COM
munities in the State to consider
the local needs and to work out
local plans for meeting these needs.
Any one interested in repairing his
own farm machinery under the
guidance of capable farm machin-
cry mechanic should get in touch
