the precious privileges guaranteed by the Bill of
Rights. Those Ten Amendments to the Consti-
tuition have become the Ten Commandments of
American Democracy.
To acquire liberty and to hold it is mans most
difficult task. Without the free newspaper it can
not be had and it cannot be held.
Today we fight slobal war to make broad and
straight the road of freedom for the little peoples
of the earth well as for the strong.
Aswe march on our unfaItering, persistent way
to Victory, we shall march in the Light :. i. our
Constitutional Liberties-hard won and precious
must not, shall not be BACKED out.
Caught in the tide of war and the current of
change, every citizen, young and DID, needs once
again to examine the deep meaning of the Bill of
Rights We need to understand anew the indiS-
pensabe role of the Free Press in the building
and preservation of Free America. Az

because the lights went out,
DictatorS take care that men
shall not, cannot know.
There is no Freedom of Expression for any man
in the conquered, death-dark lands across the sea.
For their free newspaper has gone.
For l50 years we in America have known the
enriching privilege of Representative Government
and its Liberties because we have lived in the
sunlight of free expression, in the knowledge of
the Facts.
Without The free newspaper, darkness
could haze fallen upon America.
Even yet Darkness can come to cover the land
if men and women do not face the stark reality
that the fight for liberty is ever constant struggle
against the forces, within and without our nation
which would wreSt it from us.
The concern of every citizen should be that the
flame of Constitutional Liberty does not 60 out.
The free Newspaper is protector of the
liberties of the people-a weapon that guards
their Freedom
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-02-12

1t is the mission of the Newspaper to make
certain the people shall KNOW. So long as they
KNOW, they will accept permanent curtail-
ment of their representative rights.
Once zCe haze lost the freedom to speak,
to write and to print, freedom to worship, the
right of impartial justice, the opportunity to get
somewhere, to do something better than it has
been done before, to enjoy the fruits of our labor,
then we have lost our Way of Life.
Once information, free opinion, free criticism
denied, the People come to Dwell in Darkness.
So surely Democracy is the way of the
American life surely is free expression the
way of Democracy

Knute Hill to
Plug for Iron
Industry in State
Congressman. to-
tour state in interests
of new project If

Washington, January 13-Former
Representative Knute Hill does not
have to sit and think about what
his next activity will. be, as many
defeated congressman are doing just
now. For Mr.! Hill has gone west
with a burning enthusiasm. He
wants to do one more thing for
his, state before looking to his
personal affairs. He seeks to get
an iron industry for the state OF
Washington. Mr.. Hill will check
into Seattle at the Washington
Athletic club shortly and for a
couple of months or so, he plans
to talk iron and steel to business
men of the state, until he can get
some real action going.
At his farewell speech before the
Congress Mr.. Hill drew quite a
crowd for the closing session on
December 16 by appealing for sup
port for the small companies eff
forts to develop local iron and
steel plants. Attacking the Nor
gan interests, for squeezing out
the small people, Mr.. Hill also
took Admiral Emory Land to task
for fighting the proposal to estab-
lisl1 shipyards and iron and steel
facilities on the west coast back
in 1888 when both business men,
Navy and Congress wished to have
this done. n.@
Enthused by the study he has
made of the matter, Mr.. Hill de-.
cided that he would at least under
take to interest the state in iron.
He hopes to see an iron industry in
Washington supplying west coast
shipyards and other industries. He
is deeply interested in the sponge
iron solution for scrap, a process
which requires Inexpensive plants
and turns out a pure iron suit
able for almost any purpose from
melting stock for blast furnaces to
basic material for alloy steel made
in electric furnaces, which is, the
use to which Republic Steel will
put sponge iron when their new
plant is finished. Mr.. Hill plans
to discuss all these possibilities in
detail on a speaking trip through
the. state. -, ..-

Baptist Church Reports
Year of Accomplishment

The pastor reports that the. Bap-
fist church held its annual dinner
and annual business meeting in the
church Wednesday evening. The
dinner was very much enjoyed and
the business meeting that followed
was enjoyed also for the church
had had an exceptionally good ye-r
and reports from the departments
were very encouraging. Officers
were elected including Mrs. A. H.
Meyer, clerk; Mrs. w. S. Hulet
treasurer, and Miss Ora Danielson
Sunday school superintendent.
The church is on a faith basis
mixing no solicitations and taking
no collections and no comparing of
gifts to the work for the tithes
and offerings are placed in an
offering box at the door. Nothing
is sold and nothing charged for
and the salary Of the pastor is a
matter of faith also for it is based
on the total amount that is re-
ceived per month.
All departments showed a bal
ance in their treasures and there
are no bills outstanding. During
the year the church has been
painted and money is on hand for
a new floor for the auditorium.
Money for these needed repairs
was given in a special box in the
church with no urging to contribute.
The church tithes its income for
missions and the Sunday school is
planning to do the same this year.
There are now on hand for dis
tribution, to the missions and Bible
schools the church is interested in,
$211 dollars and this goes to the
ends of the earth. Letters are
often received from these mis-
sionaries on the firing line and are
much enjoyed.
The Ladies Circle is sponsoring
Bible club work, sewing for the Red
Cross and every alternate session OF
the circle is a mission study pro-
gram. ,.-.' ..*'~ -.
The Gideons and the American
Bible Society were remembered in
their work of supplying soldiers and
sailors with New Testaments to the
amount of $40, as special gifts

also aided. &ss@t ..

Like other agencies of the United

that are represented on the County
War Board, the Farm Security ad-

Financial assistance is offered

started to list all good dairy stock
that was for sale. "a At present the

the lure of insects accounts for their

They do not destroy plants. But
they do protect them against the
hordeS of insects that do.
There are too many unfounded
stories about the danger of being
bitten by centipedes. Those in the
tropics are said to be very poisonous,
but there has been no proof that
they are. True, their bite may be
very painful, but prompt attention
to the wound will remove the dam

The fact they are clothed in COL

and have the ability to travel swift

and crevices adds to the fear built
up against them.
The centipede has poison glands

Usually the many-legged hunter
can make his escape without any
trouble. In the open. there are
numerous places under which he
can skitter. If in a house, as you
well know, there are innumerable
objects under which he may hide.
If at any, time centipedes become
numerous outside, their hiding
places-piles of debris, moist grass
and piles of rotting wood-should
be eliminated. The cracks and open
spaces in the floors should be closed,
and the insect chaser soon will dis

Centipedes are related to spiders.
They belong in group known as
