such items as light bulbs, turbines,
short-wave and high-frequency RAJ
dio equipment, synthetic rubber
and military optical instruments.
All of these items have been the
most serious bottlenecks in our war
program. Senator Kilgore pointed
out a number of instances where
cartels and monopolies hindered
the full development of technology
in the United States and leopard
lied our preparation for national
defense.

AMERICANS STILL DO
BUSINESS WITH NAZIS,
SOLONS DECLARE


of Cooperating With Foreign
Partners, Without Protest From
United Nations
The fact that America and Nazi
Germany are at var makes no diff
ference in the relations of giant
monopolies in both countries that
were as thick as thieves before Hit
Ter went on a rampage.
These monopolies have continued
to communicate and cooperate with
each other during the entire period
of the conflict, it was charged by
the Senate Committee on Scientific
Mobilization, headed by Senator
Harley M Kilgore (Dem., w. Va.)
An American branch of an inter-
national cartel, or trust, helped
a German partner fight a patent
suit in Swedish courts in 1912, the
committee said. 1t added that the
same American concern, which the
committee did not identify, also
turned I'VE certain patents to a
Spanish branch on instructions
from the Nazi-controlled main of
flee in Holland, and has carried on
extended communications with its
Nazi partner through affiliations
in Argentine and Portugal.

MONTGOMERY sIDELIGHTS
: BIZ ELSIE WHITE HAINEs

Speaking Of thankfulness re-
minds us that Thanksgiving Day
comes next week. Did you know
that had Benjamin Franklin had
his way the turkey-not the Amer
ican bald eagle-would have been
selected as our national emblem?
Gentle, peace loving person that
he was, he thought the eagle had
a way of preying upon smaller
birds, and therefore could never
be symbolic of the United States
of America.
1t would probably have been a
popular choice because the turkey
t is just as American as the eagle
and few people ever get a glimpse
of the high flying eagle--well, one
might say, "Who ever sees tur.
key these days?" Of course we
all know that the turkeys arc
marching off to war to furnish din
ners for our boys on the fighting
front-so chicken will do for us
or even good piece Of roast
"po'k".
Many Of our servicemen will eat
their Thanksgiving dinner under
conditions that would make the
Pilgrim fathers feel that they did
not know what hardships were. In
the words Of the President may
we observe the day "by bending
every effort to hasten the day of
final victory and by Offering to
God our devout gratitude for His
goodness to US and to our fellow
men," To which we add AMEN.

The Haines family used one of
their "a" gas coupons and drove
around the Travilah- Jamestown
Germantown section, where the
mansions of "the station wagon
set" stand out from the substan-
tial homes of the prosperous farm
ers and the row upon row of small
rather unsubstantial houses, many
occupied by people who have come
from the poorer sections of ad-
joining states.
We stopped for a few minutes
at lovely Mt. Prospect Farm and
had a look at the animals which
have been winning so many prizes
for Bob" Hanson saw his array
of ribbons, ate cookie hot from
the oven, baked by Mrs. Hanson,
who even as you or |, is doing
much of her own work; was laugh
ingly presented by the mister"
with warm, newly laid egg found
in the stable.
On through Darnestown to the
Dallas McAtee farm on the Ger
mantown road, where Mr.. McAtee
and his neice, Virgingia, drove out
into the fields with us, and show
ed us-but that's a long story
we will tell it another time. Any
way we had lots of fun.
After leaving the McAtee farm
we ate lunch-that was thought
fully brought along by the other
half of the family who had suf-
fered pangs of hunger other times
when we were prowling in search
of story and got led far afield
Never did food taste better. The
sun shone warm and bright, we
sat there looking over the country
side-the rolling hills-the barns
with silos near bursting with food
for the cattle grazing in the mea-
dows-the pink red of the plowed
fields-the grey tan of the unplow-
ed--the light green of the sprout-
ing grain in few fields already
planted.
An airplane floating lazily over
head flashed black and silver white
at times, looking for all the world
like the lovely magpies-scavenger
birds-of the West Coast. 1t SEEM
ed almost impossible that the same
sun shone on battlefields, on lands
where scarcely a house or barn
stood-where the birds did not
sing and airplanes did not float
lazily, but dropped destruction
from on high. But let's go on.
Taking a sideroad at Old Ger
mantown we stopped at the former
"Weeks" place once fine old home
on the hillside--now abandoned
save by migrant families. The
lonely "dirt road" winding through
oak trees with their rustling brown
leaves, led us through country
much like the Glen. There we
came upon the ruins of the love-
ly old stone and brick Clopper
Mill. Born and reared where we
could hear the gentle swish of
water on an old millwheel and al
ways fascinated by the sound of
water (saye that which runs in
to a dish panD we walked through
the mill and gazed down at the
wheel, fallen apart and decaying-
no water runs through the trace"
now, though its course may be
traced along the road and under
bridge. The sun was setting as
we drove home-thankful for such
a happy day.
