Hay and the wheat harvests will
be close together this year. Farm
ers will have to hustle.
Woodland Beach will be opened
regularly for the season with a
dance tonight, free to all patrons,
music by Oglesby's orchestra.
The tide rose SO high on Friday
at Woodland Beach as to tear up
part of the board walk, which was
however repaired as soon as it re-
ceded.
Potatoes of home production
were on sale Monday, grown by Mr..
Gregory. Raspberries also made
their appearance Monday.
The annual school election
throughout the state will be held on
Saturday, June Oath, at which time
a school tax will be voted for, and
clerk or commissioner to serve
for three years will be elected in
each and every district. The sum
Required to be raised by taxation is
one hundred dollars.
The flying clouds and high winds
that should have brought rain Fri
day and Saturday, brought instead
only clouds of flying dust that set
tied on the backs of persons riding
in carriages. The ladies of party
returning from Woodladn Beach
had some fun drawing delicate lines
on the back of a black coated gen
tleman who sat in front of them.
Just what they wrote that afforded
them amusement, is unknown even
to the gentleman himself.
The McKown lots in West Smyr-
ma, sold at Sheriff Sale on Satur-
day, were bought by E. c. FAIRIES,
$25, and Horace Tilghman, $50.
The Walkers School picnic main

Wednesday evening next, the 28th
inst. The names of the graduates

son made the opening address. Mrs.
James T. Farson represented Co.
lumbia. The shield bearers were
Thomas Nowland, Albert Ransom,
William McNatt, Mrs. j. D. Scout,
Miss Rhoda Voss and Miss Annie
Grant. The singing was notice
able feature of the exercises, es-
Ipecially a solo by Annie Smith, a
little seven-year-old.
The young ladies of the B. M. S.
X. closed their weekly social
meetings for the heated term, with
a lawn party at the 'Lindens, Duck
Creek, on Monday evening. A

with refreshments in the way of ice
cream, cake, etc. The following

It's A PEOPLES War

We are paying more in taxes
than ever before -. and likely
will pay more. But we cannot
rely on taxes to finance the war.
1t would not be fair to base a
tax on the average single fam
lily income when many families
have more than one income.
We could borrow all the money
from the banks, but for both
economic and social reasons
this is undesirable. The gov
ernment would then sacrifice
its greatest dam against infla-
tion. This is a Peoples War
and the people should finance
it. The people WANT to finance
it. Sale of War Bonds has
mounted consistently since
Pearl Harbor.
They give their lives You

Figure 1t Out Yourself. How can
you effectively join in saving all the
little children of the world from hui
man slavery, death and injury from
The Nazis and Japanese? Put more
and more of your pay into war
bonds every payday. Your savings
will go to war in the form of war
equipment and other munitions. How
much more should you put into war
bonds? The only ones who can
answer that are-you and your FAM,
ly. It's up to you to decide just
how much more you'll do to win the
war.
II you were fighting in the Solo,
mons or in Africa or forcing a land
Ing in Europe you'd like to feel that
the folks at home were back of you
all the way-you'd be proud Of
your family and your friends If you

recent interview that ''the task of
assembling the preliminary informa :
ton was tremendous. Maps, travel
folders, trade magazines, miscel-
laneous sources, and the accounts
of people who had lived in or travel
ed through the region were used
Unfortunately, there wasn't single
beautiful spy involved in collecting
this informa ton.
Pertinent data was translated onto
film and the motion pictures run
many times for the flyers The data
also was put into travel guides, .
consisting mainly of pictures of the
points to be bombed and each pilot
and navigator had one of these
target folders.
There in Northeast Africa we
constructed dummy installations,
correct as to scale and formation,
of the places to be bombed. All at
tack possibilities were tried until we
finally arrived at the procedure
used Col. Smart said.

Only a portion of the bomber
pilots in the 9th Air Force could
go on the Ploesti raid and those
left behind were heart-broken, he
continued. Some worked the prob
lem out for themselves, however,
and several planes on the raid car
ried a spare pilot because he refused
