Craig Pottinger, Editor
Nogales International
Nogales, Arizona.
Hello Craig:
Have not heard from you for a
long time, but I know you are all
right because I always read The
International and from that I set
all the news from my old home
town.
saw a very interesting article in
the Popular Science, page 20, Sept.
issue, having flying bombs let down
by cable and cable cut on the mo-
ment when making contact with the
enemy bomber or plane.
AS soon as saw that, I checked
right back in my files and found
the complete photograph set-up I
had sent in to the War Department
on July 1, 1888.
Ed Titcomb will remember it well,
because he sent the local flying in
structor to me to forward it to the
War Department. Like always,
there we're some objections, but no
doubt it was refined to practical
point
1 am enjoying The international
very much and all the news and
Martyrs letters are lots of fun. Give
him my regards.
If nothing happens, I'll be in No
gales in November and see all my
friends and what they are doing.
am very well and happy and
hope you folks are the same. With
best wishes, am
Sincerely your friend,

No Holds Barred

Don't become impatient because the Presidential
campaign is little slow in getting under way. The
great civil war of ballots has just begun and very
clear in Washington that it will be fought to the
finish by the Democrats and the Republicans, with

Americans returning from Ger
many on the exchange ship Grips
holm tell amusing tales of how Ger
man people are led to believe this
country is slowly starving to death.
The Germans know from bitter ex-
perience that a nation, like an army,
fights on it's stomach. Picturing the
United States as a hunger-weakened
opponent is logical for people who
have lived with starvation and have
used it as a weapon to destroy other
nations.
Few citizens of the U. S. know the
Importance of food, because they
have never known scarcity. How
many customers when they walk in
to the marvel of a modern food store,
stop to think of the scientific produc-
tive effort that went into the stock
ing of the shelves and counters be-
fore them with canned, packaged and
fresh foods from every corner of tie
United States? 1t is pity they can
not see a living panorama of the pre-
paration and distribution of the food
on those shelves. From beginning to
end, it is a struggle against the ele-
ments and the grim laws of supply
and demand. Wartime restrictions
are just one more hurdle that food
producers and distributors take in
stride.

How is my little Junior Meeks?
Guess he's pretty good size now. Sure
would like to see him, and all tie
rest of you. Guess it won't be long
before we'll all be back home again.
At least the news sounds muck bet
ter every day.
l had letter from Aunt Carrie
Foard and she said her son Louis
is over here in England somewhere,
but as SIN Ill as this island is I've moi
seen anyone l knew back home. Most
of the boys l knew here are in France
now, where | hope I'll go before long
OF course I'd rather come back to tie

Well Aunt Lucy, I'll have to close

London Many of the messages
between the allied front in Normandy
and headquarters offices in England
are reported as now passing through
regular telephone circuits in special
cable laid under the English Channel
in the days Immediately following the
invasion.
Buenos Aires . It is believed the
worlds highest telephone wires are in
South America, and are part of the
telephone cable that crosses the An
DIES Mountains from Chile to Argen-
tina. Near Las Ceuvas, on the Ar
gentine side, they are 1890 feet
above the sea.
Washington .. A money order in
tended as payment for Washington,
d. c., telephone bill recently made the
long trip to North Africa and Italy
and back again before the subscriber
learned that he had allowed it to get
caught in the wrappings of a package
he had sent to friend overseas.
San Francisco :. A corporal with
an American fighter squadron in In
dia, who received letter containing
Is cents from the Pacific Telephone
and Telegraph Company, was amazed
that IAN attempt should be made to
make a refund of such small amount
halfway around the world" Some
of our service men in India had not
seen American coins for more than a
year, Cpl. Cordes W. HAITI wrote, so
the dime and nickel from the tele-
phone company were genuine oddities.
Corporal HAITI mailed several Indian
coins to the telephone company, shop
ing someone will find them as big
novelty as the nickel and dime were
over here"

MARYLAND OYSTER CANNING
THING OF PAST

With the recent announcement
hat the 1943 pack of canned oysters
Upward of 214,000 cases, was valued
at $2,815,9O4, there again is ground
or reflection on the Maryland oyster
,utput. This state pioneered in oyster
aiming and for decades locally pro-
luced stock went into cases in guam
tiles far in excess of the combined
world
Oyster canning is no longer prac-
iced in Maryland. This industry has
moved to the Carolinas and south
ard. The local trade name, "Cove
)ysters," has gone with the industry.
he decline in this branch of the
Chesapeake industries is but a re-
lection of the vast depletion that has
)een taking place through the years.
again, we note that the fault cannot
)e placed at the door of the oyster,
fecund as it is, nor should it be said
hat the Bay has become unsuited for
OYSTER propagation.
Acceptance of a sound policy of
management for this resource and
strict conformity to it's provisions in
,luding such items as size limits,
;losed seasons, or closed areas, oper-
alton of legal equipment. maximum
use of seed areas, maintenance of
brood reserve, etc., are recognized as
essential if an upturn toward one
time yields is to be experienced
The citizens of the state, in gener-
al, as well as the oystermen, no
doubt, await TIE announcement of a
substantial, workable policy. The
Board of Natural Resources should
meet the challenge.

MARYLAND FARMERS HAVE
USED EVERYTHING IN
MANPOWER "BOOK"

With the wartime expansion in
Maryland agriculture, Free State far
mers this summer have had to resor,
20 their ingenuity and everything in
he farm manpower book" to accom-
olish their assignment, the produc-
ion of food, asserted Paul E. Ny
from, state county agricultur
gent leader and supervisor of the
state emergency farm labor program,
University of Maryland.
Maryland crop reports show that
the corn crop is 40 per cent larger
Than last year, the wheat crop was
85 per cent bigger, sweet potato crop
IS per cent larger, the peach and
apple crops about two and one-half
times larger, the tobacco crop so per
bigger, and the tomato acreage the
largest since 1918.
The states farm labor ranks are
estimated to be short $1,000 to TO-
600 men of normal, and the state
leader said the gaps have been and
are continuing to be filled in by farm
families working long hours and EN-
ploying about $500 Bahamians and
Jamaicans, an equal number of boys
and girls, about 5000 migrant work
4rs, $500 German war prisoners and
hundreds of patriotic city girls and
women, vacation workers, townspeo-
pie, factory workers in their hours
off and American soldiers and sail
lrs. Also several conscientious OBJ
.ectors and inmates of state penal
institutions were used.

A PRIVILEGE-A DUTY

Edward A. O'Neal has been presi-
dent of the American Farm Bureau
Federation for good many years.
He has been a consisten champion Oh
farmers rights, and when he speaks
farmers are pretty apt to listen at
tentiyely. But he spoke to all Amerl-
can citizens recently when he SAID
that the right to vote is one of our
most precious possessions.
81 know the farmer has an oplga-
ton to get his crops in at the proper
time" said Mr.. O'Neal, but l also
know that he has duty that tran
scends even the obligation to produce
in wartime, and that is his response
bility to contribute to good govern
ment and to the national welfare by
exercising his right of franchise.
Leave your plow, leave your COW,
leave your SOW, and go to the polls
in what is one of the most precious
rights and privileges that we enjoy
under our democratic form OF govern
ment.
"In my opinion, farm people carry
a greater responsibility for the pre-
servation of our great tradition OF
democracy than any other group.
profoundly believe that our historic
tradition is deeply imbedded in the
hearts of rural people to an, extent
that you will find nowhere else.
Because of his deep attachment to
the soil and to his home, the farmer
is generally regarded as the back
bone of American democracy. He
would be the first to oppose any SEN
timent toward a change in the essen
tial form of our government. lie
wants none of dictators or govern
ment that does not allow free will
and expression of the people.
But it is not inappropriate that
Mr.. O'Neal's message be directed at
them, for many farmers have fallen
into TIE error of thinking that their
opinions counted for little, that their
votes meant less. No state of mind
could be more unfortunate just now
as our country faces another nation
al election. The issues that will be
decided are of grave Importance to
it's present and future welfare. To
preserve our democratic processes OF
government, it is necessary that the
opinion of all the people-their con-
certed will--be demonstrated through
their ballots. One mans vote counts
lust as much as any others. When
lines are drawn as close as they are
now, one vote may decide how state
will cast it's electoral vote. And the
electoral vote of even one state could
possibly swing the election.
The important thing for all OF us
to remember that we can contribute
to our country's welfare by doing our
duty as good citizens and voting on
November Z.

WE'RE SLIPPING

Wash ington, D. c., October 10
Government experts in the United
States Treasury and in Congress
agree that it will be necessary to
make a good many changes in the
tax laws soon after the end of the
European war, but no one suggests
any way that furnishes cheer for the
taxpayers. About the only consola-
ton one finds in studying the charts
of the future, exists in the plan to
string our monstrouS national debt
over long period of years, and pay
it off at a rate of fewer billions than
have been contemplated each year.
There will be a deficit of at least
three hundred billion dollars at the
end of the wars, drawing interest OF
six billion dollars year. 1t is per-
fectly obvious that the curtailment
Of this enormous debt together with
in crest payments will remain a
eavy burden on the whole American
people, for generations to come-ev-
en- if we should be lucky enough not
10 have more wars or stop the lavish
and extravagant habits of the past
Twelve years.
AS a matter of fact our country
has been sliding backwards in the
same direction as the Old World
countries, with whom we have been
playing ball and fighting wars. The
english, French and the common
people of all Europe have become
miserably poor, and if our middle
lasses and poorer classes escape the
same fate it can only be accomplish
ID by lasting world peace. That's
the only way we are ever going tC
be able to catch up with ourselves.

Wage Issue No Private Fight

If there is any problem in connec-
ton with tke successful conclusion of
he war and the ensuing effort to-
ward postwar American wellbeing
hat touches more Americans than
Ioes the issue on the established
mula-it has not made itself appar-
ent.
In fact, if you take our present
population figure at 130,000,000 you
AN just about say there are that
many persons involved-not merely
he wage earners and arrangements
IN particular industries wEo so far
lave carried ON most of the debating
before the War Labor Board on
whether the Little Steel formula
should be tossed overheard.
Saying that this issue cannot be
lecided on considerations of the
point of view of particular employers
nd unions in particular cases, p"
ieneral Motors took it's stand on the
hold the line" side recently, when
invited to- make it's position known
jefore the War Labor Board.
It's question of imitation or no
nf1ation, General Motors held, stat
ng fatty that it is not against high
wages but it is against imitation.
There can be no general economic
3tabilization in the nation in the face
If rising living costs that will be
orced by wage increases for a seq
nent of the nations population, the
company said, and asked that safe
guards against the danger of an UNI
ontrollable spiral of rising living
costs" be continued.
The attempt to junk the Little
steel formula has been made more
han once since it's inception-so
ar without success. General Motors
loes not believe it should be put
tside until the nation is "out of the
woods" Others have made the esti-
mate that in it's broadcast applica-
lion tke formula governs incomes of

school teachers and Others working
Tor government, persons depending

Living cost increases already have
made it harder for these people. 1t is
heir position that places the wage
sterilization argument as more than
private fight between organized

industry.
