cussions all day on how to get

I've never heard a single adj
dress at farmers convention on
how to get cattle to come up to
the rack. We put all our time in
on the best kind of feed. I sort
of have a notion that if you put
more time on what to put into

spend all the time discussing

Buy War Bonds
The Nome nugget., 1944-08-25
YOU'RE WITH HIM IN TRANCE

We don't have to line up our reasons for buying bonds, but being A1neri- cans, we automatically feel the urge to do our bit, al- though our primary reason is patriotic.
 Although we are reject ed in the Selective Service, we can still serve until the war is won, in war effort at home,
 We can buy bonds to fur nish the weapons vitally needed at the front.
 Our economy must be kept on an event keel.
 We are paving the way to tomorrow's security
 When we buy bonds, we are giving ourselves a break, The government is doing us a favor every time we invest in another bond.
 Buy War Bonds! Stay by him in France!

turn or a small pOruOn or the money we had advanc- ed. We, on the other hand, were blatant in our boast fitness about our part in winning the war and saving our British cousins from the desperate spot in which they had been placed.
 A repetition of such fool ishness should be avoided at the close of this war if we are to cement the ties of blood and wealth to which each of the Allies has so generously contributed to the full limit of respective capacity.
 It is quite obviously nat ural that the news accounts of the war should be color ed by the national pride of each of the participants. American newspapers are not likely to give as much space to the exploits of the British as they are to those of the Tanks and vice ver- sa, but it is we'll for the thoughtful American and Britisher to bear in mind that the war is being won by team work.
 We have seen no general mention of the fact, but have been reliably inform ed that more than half the forces in Normandy are British and that three fourths of the warships sup porting the troops with gunfire from the sea are of the British Navy On the other hand, it is our troops and our Navy which are taking the br,lnt of the Pacific war.
 Neither now nor in the trying days of world recon struction to come is there any room for the sour notes of the narrow mind ed flag waver. That we will expect our statesmen to protect American interests goes without saying. but that we shall also expect them to acknowledge our world responsibility is equally obvious.

HIGGINS ATTACKS
 TALBOT'S RECORD
Democratic Candidate for Congress Speaks Before
 Polish Group

Peter B. Higgins, Torrington, Democratic candidate for congress sponsored by the CIO Political Ac. ton Committee yesterday scored his opponent, Cong. Joseph E, Talbot (R) as one who "voted in favor Of measures that would raise the cost of living and opposed measures that would keep the cost of living down" Mir. Higgins spoke ct the Polishs American Democratic club social, Beacon Falls, last night.
 Attacking Cong. Talbot as | sym. pathlEer Of big corporations the cans didate from Torrlngton added:
 My opponent wants tax laws or. ranged 50 that wealthy people and big corporations don't have to pay their share. That means he wants people like Us to pay more than our share. He has said it wouldn't be right to tax big corporations more than they are now being taxed Do. cause already their profits are cut as much as they should Dc cut. What c huge TniBstatement.
 Tn the first three months Of this year, with my opponent weeping about the plight of the big corpora. tions, the new corporation profits after payment of oil taxes were iS million dollars higher than in the same period Of io43. Isn't there room for e little more taxation there? Is it fair to keep raising and raising the taxes of little people like Is when these big people are plling up billions on top Of billicns9 ] don't think it iS fair. My opponent does think t is fair"

end In thoir efforts to help their friends and nelghhors.
 fmyself am greatly encouraged to note that the church Committee for Relief In Asia has plans to go to the help of the people Of Burma and Malaga, of the people in the Dutch Indies, Thalland, and the Philippines as soon ns they are lib. erated. Many of you have read the story of pr, Gordon Seagrove, the Burma Surgeon. When you give money for relief in Asia you are strengthening the hands of men of his type and calibre, you are saying, "0od bless you", to those native nurses and teachers who work with our missionaries, And the day draws near when the Philippines will be free. Although traditional ly Catholic, tho Protestant churches are strong and influential in the Is. lands. The Philippines, of all peos pie, deserve the best and the quick est help we can give them, If and when I have Q chance to vote money for the help of our Chris tian friends in the Philippines, l shall be happy indeed.
 The liberation of Europe is pro- ceeoing apaee. may say that 1t has not followed the lines antlelpat- ed by the executives of the relief agencies in New York. A year ago 1t was expected that there would be an Anglo American drive up the Balkans. It was supposed that Greece would be one of the first countries on the continent of Eu- rope to be liberated, Plans were made on the basis of information at hand at that time. Those plans have had to be changed, Work that had been anticipated for the Greek homeland has had to be done among Green refugees In Egypt and elsewhere in the Middle East. What Is happening In France In connec. ton with church relief and help I cannot say. What l do know H that the churches on the Continent of Europe have borne terrific burden during this war and that one of the greatest services We can render to the liberated countries IS to give wise aid and counsel to the leaders of the churches, It is just as essential to rehabilitate and strengthen the churches of Europe Rs 1t is to rebuild the bridges and roads and to help the people to re- sume their normal work. If the countries of Europe arc to preserve their dearly bought freedom, there must be freedom Of religion. do not myself believe that you can hope to have freedom Of religion unless you have free churches. The Christian people of America should lend Q generous hand in support of the Protestant churches on the Continent that have suffered 80 se- verNly Rt tho hands Of Fascist and NaZi totalitarianisn, When you give through the channels Of the War Victims and Services you are strengthening the hands Of men who are working with and for those European Protestant churches and who have managed to keep In touch with many of their friends behind the battle lines even when some of those friends were in con- centrRtion camps.

Keep Giving China
 Relief Says Pastor
Rev. Dr.. John C. Walker Lauds Stubborn, Brave and
 Faithful Fight of Far East People

we have boon giving to relief in China for, 10, these many years, but it is hardly tho time to stop now' stated Rev, pr. John Q, Walk. or, Second Congregational Church pastor, yesterday morning in his sermon entitled, And the King Shall Answer and Say.
 pr. walker said in part:--
 The Chinese have been fighting fasclsm and nlilitarlsm since io37. They have fought stuhbornly, hrave- ly, faithfully through the long, blt- tor years. For years past they have been promised help and aid on substantial scale but such old has yet to arrive in China, The suffer- ings of the Chinese people, their tremendous losses in lives and treaS- ure in this war, constitute one of the greatest tragedies in the long annals of human history. The lead- CTS of the churches have said, righL- ly or wrongly As tho people of the churches must determine, that the OAAhASH OVHhhAIbGS AOk CAihAu kSSS lief will continue to support relief work In China and to the bitter end, Only Q drop in the bucket of vast human need but Gods dropl
 But what was once the Church Committee for China Relief has been enlarged to take in other needy areas in Southwest Asia. India needs relief help and our Christian work erg labor under great difficulties, Exact figures are not available but there Is e strong suspicion that the number of people who died in the famine in Bengal exceed the total casualty list of the British Empire Conditions are now greatly improved but they are by no means pleasant and agreeable.

PATENT EXHIBIT
 OPEN TO PUBLIC
Scores of Local Manufac. turers to Visit New Haven
 Event During Week

Waterbury manufacturers are in- vited to attend the exhibit of 45,000 alien patents at the Chamber of Commerce building in New Haven this week. Smaller War Plants Corp. is sponsoring the event in cooper ation with the New Haven Chamber of Commerce.
 Kenneth L. Childs, SWPC mana. ger, announces that the patent It. brary contains many German, Jap- anese, and Italian methods now available for licensing to American manufacturers at nominal fee.
 The patents, once protected for alien profit by the patent laws, will show, according to Mir. ChildS, how the experts of Germany and Japan have made some of the synthetic products that have competed with American made wares in our mar kets.
 In inviting Waterbury-area mah- utacturers to inspect the display, Mi, Childs pointed out that the patents may offer them a solution to postwar production. He told how a New England manufacturer of a patented item, made of brass, secur- ed a substantial order for his pro- duct from the Army, but was unable to fill 1t until he had acquired 0 German process,
 MT, Childs estimates that there are any number of possibilities where the enemy methods may be found of inestimable value to Con- necticut industrialists in turning out the weapons needed for a speedy victory,
 The exhibit will be open from 10 0 m. to p. m. daily, and on Mon- day, Wednesday and Friday to 9 p, m,

1.-THE GOVERNMENT ANSWERS

American farmers are dong every thing possible to build up domestic production of fats and oils. But dur ing the next i2 months, because of a smaller hog kill and reduced yields of some oil-seed crops, we expect that approximately c bilion.and.a-third pOH"dS Is" of fats wiN Dc produced.
 Need Greater 7H0W Eyer
 Therefore, more than ever, salvag. ing used cooking fats is an important resource on which the country must continue to lean in order to tide us over.
 Saving used fats is not a q Gamorous task. It takes effort. But it is one that only you, the American housewife, can perform for the country We ask you to continue the wonderful job you are doing to help speed final Victory.
