On Feb. II, President Roosevelt
addressed the nation on his con-
ference at Casablanca, advising:
Before this year is out, it will be
made known to the worlG--in ac-
tions rather than wOrds-that the
Casablanca conference produced
plenty of news, and that it will be
bad news for the Germans and
Italians-and the japanese"

Two years agO-many months

you of the thought that was then
uppermost in our minds-Of the
determination of America to be-

Almost all Americans had by that

from the barbarians. Even then
we were in the midst of the his,
toric job of production = a jot
which the American people have
been performing with zest ano
skill and, above all, success.
United Nations Determined
Tonight, as | speak to you, an.
other thought is uppermost in oui

to fight this war through to the

Miracle Of Ships
Seen Winning War
BY GEORGE +. HORNE
Courtesy, New York Tlmcs)

America is fulfilling her destiny
i'm the creation OF a merchant fleet
and a multiple-ocean Navy, each
on a scale far outshadoWing any
thing accomplished on dreamed of
before. This has been the land of
industrial wonder; and our ship
building is truly a miracle Of pro-
duction, in the American tradition.
Beginning in 1889, when we had
only fifty merchant vessels on or
der and were building no more
than1O0 naval craft, we pyramided
orders with breathless speed, con-
structed new shipyards, expanded
old ones and increased active ship
yard manpower to 100000 per-
sons.
In the field of merchant ships
we are half way IN our two-year
Sc, 000, 100000 construction pro-
gram calling for more than 1900
vessels, aggregating 24,OOO.OOO
htduWtlSnl lOllS'
1t is difficult to comprehend the
colossal scope of this order and to
translate it into terms digestible
by the layman.
Generally we accept the assur-
ance of the President, and Of Rear
Admiral Emory S. Land and Rear
Admiral Howard l.. Vickery or
others who tell us that the cOun-
try may be proud Of its achieve
ments in the widely separated ar
cas- where the sweet song Of met
al on metal and the blue-white
flashes of the welding torches sig
nalize production of ships ships
FOR troops, for OIL, TOR manganese,
for machinery, tanks, guns, am
munition, food, lumber, steel, air
planes, tractors, trucks, and all the
vital life-blood of straining war
sinews.
The 24,OOO,O 900 tons of shipping
mot to include for the moment the
many-ocean Navy is being built
in two years In such a brief time
we are to deliver nearly three
times as much shipping as the
total seagoing tonnage in use by
the United States at the time of
Pearl Harbor.
The twenty-four month program
multiplied by three and a half
would almost match in tonnage
the entire seagoing fleets of the
world as they were when Germany
hurled her might into Poland in
1889.
Building On Schedule
Despite Axis skepticism, we are
on schedule. Into the waters of the
nation great cargo carriers slide
every day. There are medium
speed freighters of simple design,
trim, sturdy craft that lift" i'm
mense volumes of goods. They
catch the eye of seafaring men
who know ships. There are big
combination cargo-passenger YES
sells, fast craft with speed, ire
mendous capacity and range and
other advantages. There are coast
ers, coastal tankers, big tankers
carrying between 100000 and $780,
900 barrels of fuel. There are sea-
going tugs, barges of part con-
crete, and even sea-going concrete
ships, greatly improved over the
last war.
And into our water go the bat
tleships, cruisers, submarines, ten
ders, corvettes, mine-sweepers. de-
stroyers, carriers and the countless
family of little craft that make up
the naval roster.
They go down the ways while

by Electrician l.. NJ. Scovill, Burn

suggestions for rolls for storing
various sizes of cable in the cleo

folds at strategic positions on the
dry docks, and the placement Of
an overhead trolley in the rigger
shed for the handling of heavy
equipment. Many other good sug-
gestions were turned in which also
have made for greater safety for
the men, elimination of tedious and
back breaking work, for shop con-
venience and for the saving of
valuable time.
Ideas, like our ships, are i'm

get into production of war-winning

Near 200 Men
Taken-by.Dra
This Week

The bottom of the barrel was
just about scraped by the locA
draft board in order to fill the
May quota from Dickinson coun
ty. According to the best infor-
nation we can get, between $50
and 200 men were called up this
week for examination and Undue
ton into the Army and Navy,
for the most part made up of 49,
year-olds and married men.
On Wednesday of this week,
between IS and IS draftees went
to Abingdon for examination,
with 20 reported rejected. On
Thursday (today) near one hun
dred more, according to various
estimates, went out for examin-
alton, and, according to further
estimates. 26 were rejected.
Note-We should be glad to
give our readers list of those
called, but censorship by the
National Selective Service Board
prohibits this. We know you are
vitality interested in this, but,
dear reader, the board judges it
is not good for you.

LOCAL SERVICEMAN
is BADLY INJURED IN
ARMY MANEUVERS

News was received here this
week that 1t. Victor Molinary
had lost a hand in an explosion
while on maneuvers. 1t was first
thought that it would. be neces-
sary to amputate a leg and fin
gers of the other hand, but latest
reports from the army hospital
indicate that this may not be nee
cessary.
1t. Molinary was well known
in Clintwood. He served as fore
man in the local CCC camp sew
eral years before being indicted
into the army. Since his entry in
the army, he has been stationed
in camps in several states and
for the last several months he
has been training officer candi-
dates at Fort Knox, KY.

DIRTY SPOON AND JOE'S
"PLACE" MAY GO DRY
DUE TO GAS SHORTAGE

According to the latest pro-
nouncement of the Office of De-
tense Transportation at Washing
ton, deliveries of beer, liquor and
soft drinks are to be drastically
cut, with strong drink having
priority over ice cream, as it was
stated that the delivery of ice
cream may be cut out entirely.
The condition making this nee
cessary. the scarcity of gas in the
eastern states, is not improving,
and will grow worse, it was said,
during the next sixty days. The
users of T gasoline ration books
(buses. trucks and taxis) will
have to begin to stretch their gas
oline. The validity of the third
quarter T coupons, which began
Tuesday of this week, will ex-
tend to July 26. Previously 4th
quarter coupons were due to be-
come effective July |.
No slackening of driving by
holders of B and c ration books
in the county has been noted
SO far. We have special admira-
ton for that type of patriot in
our county who displays the Am
erican flag and V for Victory
sign and uses an unlimited
amount of gas in pleasure driv-
ing.

Mad Dog
Travels Through
County

Clintwood and Grundy and
much of the region between the
two have much to worry about
these days over the probah' ;
havoc wrought by a mad dog.
A short time ago, Hardy Van
over, employed at Fairfax, on a
visit to his home near Osborne
Gap brought dog that he had
bought down that way. Victor
Vanover, well known Clintwood
barber, visited his cousin, Hardy
on Sunday and was so impress
ed by the appearance of the dog
that he purchased it.
On the way home he noticed
that the dog was inclined to start
a scrap with any dog he came in
contact with, and that he dis
played the belligerent spirit
around town Monday. Monday
evening he disappeared.
Wednesday morning, a dog
passed through Grundy biting at
everything he passed, including
two or three cows. A number of
citizens, noticing the dog, went
in pursuit and a we'll directed
shot by one of the posse laid
him low. Since the dog wore a
new collar and tag, they soon
ascertained that the tag was of
the Dickinson county series and
phone call to the Treasurer
here elected the information
that the tag was issued to Victor
Vanover.
Now. there is, of course much
speculation as to how many dogs
and other animals this one dog
may have bitten between here
and Grundy.
The law provides that the board
of supervisors of any county may
under such circumstances pass
an ordinance quarantining dogs
within the county, and that the
town council Of any town may
oass such an ordinance for the
own. Victor Vanover says that
he contacted one member of the
council here and that the coun-
cilman thought it best to wait a
,ew days md see what might
happen.

LOCAL PRICE CONTROL
PANEL rs SET UP

For the purpose of administer
ing the price control program on
the local level, price panel,
composed of citizens of Dicken-
son county, has been appointed
to the War Price and Rationing
Board. The citizens selected to
serve on the panel are Walter
Lee Rush, Chairman; Elmer
Poore, Billie RAIDER Skeen and
Rev. w. M. Page.
The major functions OF this
price panel, we suppose, are to
seek to control prices Of necessi-
ties within the county, distribute
price literature and information
to retail merchants and the pub
lie and to sit as a local group Of
citizens to consider and settle
price problems as they develop
within the community.

The Ration
Calendar

The gasoline situation in the
eastern states is getting critical.
Drastic reductions are found ~
be necessary. Holders of CT"
books must make their second
quarter stamps last up to July
25 instead of July |. Pleasure
driving is again banned. Viola
tons will be prosecuted. 1t is
hoped that our people will OBJ
serve these regulations, which
are made for the benefit of every
body, especially our fighting
forces. Most of you have cheer
fully obeyed the rationing laws
and regulations, and we know
you will continue to do this pa
triotic duty. It is the fellow who
thinks he is law and a nation
unto himself who causes the
trouble. If it were not for men
and Womer--like this, rationing
would not be necessary. Fortu-
nately there are few of this type.
Some complaints have come to
the local rationing board that
some people with c books have
Quit their jobs and failed to turn
in their books, and continue to
use these books. This is illegal
and will subject the offender to
prosecution. The local board has
instituted methods of determin-
ing who these persons are and
they will eventually be called in
to account for their actions.
You have doubtless received
your application for Book Three.
You should read it carefully, fill
out completely by June /, n q
then return it to the local board
between June l and June 10.
Your Book Three will then be
completed and sent to you. Ii
YOU are unable to fill out the ap-
plication, have some neighbor aid

portant, and should be filled out
accurately and completely before

will save a lot of time and labor.
