Here's America by the Press Cot in the Scrap

the importance of such contribu-
tions is evident.
But they were not the only contri-
buttons of the editors, many of whom
were chairmen of their town or
county salvage committees, who not
only publicized the scrap campaign
through the columns of their news
papers but also worked actively in
getting in the scrap" The record
Of the small towns and rural ham,
lets of America in this patriotic work
is an inspiring one, as witness these

invoked the deep spirit of patriotism. We
feel that it will be laboratory test. We
are sure that scolding and charges Of COM
placency are not the answer.
Needless to say this BONDbard-
ment Day in that Montana town, as
In many others throughout the coun-
try, was tremendous success. And
it is significant that as the result of
a new spirit which swept the coun-
try, aided by the efforts Of hun
dreds of country editors, soon there
after they were no longer called
defense bonds" but ''war bonds"
or Victory bonds"
Nor has the work of the country
press in behalf of the sale of war
bonds through its editorial, news and
advertising columns been the only
contribution it has made to the war
effort in the realm of tangible things.
There was the scrap metal cam
paign carried on to salvage from
the farms of the nation the thou
sands of tons of metal so urgently
needed by the steel mills to make
battleships, guns and other weapons
of war. A Florida weekly drama
tized the effort to ''get in the scrap"
by capitalizing upon the reputation
of scrappy American fighter-Gen.
Douglas Macarthur. So that COM
munity set aside day for bringing
In all kinds of scrap material and
called it "Gen. Macarthur Day."
The event was an overwhelming sue
cess.
He Sets an Example.
Nor does the average country edi-
tor merely urge the people of his
community to do their patriotic du-
ty. Frequently he sets them an ex-
ample by going out and doing it
himself. There was the editor of a
New York weekly who has made
his Office the center Of a 24hour
service as communications head
quarters in case of enemy air raids.
There was the editor in little Kan
sas town who not only managed the
salvage yard in his town but who
personally collected and shipped
some go tons of scrap iron. More
than that he personally did all the
work of cutting up the iron with an
acetylene torch and supervised the
loading and sorting of the entire lot
all this in addition to his regular
duties as editor, publisher, advertis-
ing solicitor and printer of his news
paper. And finally there was one of
the leading country publishers in
California who did something about
the manpower shortage besides writ
ing editorials about it. When trained
sawnin workers in his town began
leaving because they feared they
would be frozen" in their jobs, he
signed up for work as lumberjack
in sawmil on the night shift
from p. m. to a. m. He sleeps
the rest of the night, then puts in a
full day at his publishing duties.
Such are only a few Of the high
lights in the story of what the coun-
try press of America has done and
is doing since it went to war;" De-
spite the loss of revenue from de-
creased advertising Image and in
creased production costs, despite the
shortages Of materials essential to
the printing business and despite
the loss of manpower when its news
writer's and advertising men and
printers went into the armed forces,
it is carrying on valiantly in the
fight for freedom and it is doubtful
if any other class Of patriotic Amer
leans, either as group or as in
dividuals, are contributing more in
more different ways to the victory

WHY THE JAPS KNOW

Here is an excerpt from the in.
terror department annual 1941 re-
port, which indicates why the Japs
know so much about the Aleutian
Islands:
1.-The floating plant Kosei Maru,
with auxiliary craft consisting of 9
trawlers, was engaged from May to
August, 1910, in taking halibut and
cod in Bering Sea about 100 miles
northeast of the Pribilof Islands,
with one additional trawIer during
the last week or two of the season.
The vessel was reported to have left
for Japan toward the end of August.
This is the eleventh consecutive
year that japanese floating plants
have operated in these waters, the
number of vessels having varied
from one to four, with the usual
complement of tenders"
Note: Under international law it
is impossible to prevent foreign fish
ermen from fishing in foreign
waters.

During the scrap collection drives
last year the rural print shops of
America proved to be rich source
of essential war materials. On to
the scrap piles went a great variety
of metals-iron, steel, copper, lead
and zinc. There were old engrav-
ings, worn-out type, parts of type
setting machines, brass and iron
printing furniture" = even entire
printing presses. Since these old
presses weigh two tons or more and

almost without exception the country
press, from the beginning of the
war, has printed ''honor rolls" of the
names of the community's fighting
men, pictures of them and their let
ters.
Typical of the numerous ways ir
which the country press has built
morale, both military and civilian
are these examples:
A New York weekly that
founded a "War Service Club
which performs a variety of
services for the community's
men in the armed forces, includ-
ing the sending each month Of
two dozen homemade cookies to
every man.
Another New York weekly that
promoted Happiness from
Home" box to bring Christmas
cheer to all local men in the
service.
A New Jersey weekly that
sponsored a special Armistice
day ceremony, hOnoring the
mothers of four local boys who
had been killed in action.
A Virginia weekly that spon-
sored s'Write Right to Fighting
Men!" campaign to Offset the
ill effects of the kind of dis
couraging letters which some
people write to men in the armed
forces.
One other great service of the
country press in the realm of morale
was the part it has played in putting
this nation in a fighting mood. .
Back in the days when we were
still calling them defense bonds, -
certain government officials-alsc
some big city columnists and com
mentators = began accusing the
American people of being too com
placent about the war. Thereupor
weekly newspaper down in Florida
printed an editorial which was al
once reply to that accusation anc
trumpet call to action. It said II

to snap out of their ''complacency," then

was shown by the fact that about

mail this week contained
~ two letters, one from
Portland, Oregon, and one from
Cleveland, Ohio, and both ask
ing the same question: is a diff
ference in age a serious thing in
marriage?
The Portland girl is 80 years
old, her young man is only "a.
She says that she is young for
her years, and that he has
been developed by response
bilities and hard times to seem
much older than he is. He was
a worker at IA, took care of an
invalid mother and little sister un-
til the mother died and the little
sister married, and Alma says that
while he is full of fun and con-
idence and eagerness, he is really
a serious man in many ways.
Alma has had a hard time, too.
She has been the main support of
family of older persons, faithfully
moving between home and office for
almost IL years. But for all that
she is young in spirit, she writes
me of tiny weekend cottage near
the sea where she has sometimes
crowded in as many as a dozen
friends, of her cat, her window gar
dens, her love for cooking, and the
| tiny niece that her brother some
times lends her for visit. And her
picture shows a small, charming
person, beaming under a wide
brimmed hat.
So my advice to Alma was to mar
ry her Tom at once, and enjoy her
rightful share of happiness as wife,
home-maker, and someday mother.
Pleasant Years Predicted.
There is no generalizing about
marriage, but it is true that mar
riage in which the wife is somewhat
the older of the two, do generally
turn out happily. Alma is going
into this marriage with real de-
termination to make it success,
and something tells me that it will
be one.
The other case is that of girl
named Margot, who is II. She is
the only child of a divorced mother;
it is the mother who writes me.
''I was only 18 when Margot was
born" says her letter, $50 that we
really are more like sisters than
mother and daughter. She has been
my one and sole consideration for
every moment of her life. We trav-
eled in Europe every summer; I
| helped her with all her lessons; we
had a plan for every Saturday and
Sunday. My husband was IA years
older than I; it was his family, and
his first wife's family, who made
our marriage impossible; Margot
was only few months old when I
left her father, and I have not seen
him since.
Like an uncle to Margaret has
always been the family doctor; he
was on the staff of the hospital where
she was born, later became a nerve
specialist and moved into our neigh
borhood. He is now 54. When he
began to call constantly at our house
it was natural for me to feel that he
was interested In me; have always
liked him, without ever giving any
deeper feeling so much as a thought
Some weeks ago said haf-seriously
to Margot that I wished John, to
call him that, would ask me to marry
him and have it over, as the sus-
pense created by his calls, gifts, sig
nifcant speeches, notes, was getting
on my nerves.
Daughters Confession.
"Her answer was a burst of tears,
and a hysterical statement that if
it had not been for her fear that I
loved John, and that it would break
my heart to lose him, she would
have told me long before that she
