' While it has been quite widely rumored that as soon as the coming election was over, such legislation would be passed, it apparently was the opinion of President Roosevelt, foltour of inspection a week or 30 ago, lowing his nation-wid- e that the flower of young manhood must be called into the nation's armed forces, at once. Testimony given by leading army and naval officials indicate that the younger men are more suitable for the supreme task ahead. C h m Plates V FOR. PUR1NS Trie taAHNt We believe that this is one piece of legislation that will and should have the support of every father and mother in the land, whether their son, brother, or any other close rela- tive be in the aimed forces or not. This is an opportune time for you to express yourself in favor of this proposed amend9 draft bill. Many Senators are ment to the year-ol- d them on the spot" and Why not seeking find out where they stand now. 18-1- An editorial, written by the editor of a small country paper, near one of the army camps, has been reprinted in nearly all the large dailies in the nation. The editorial deals with the self destruction of the youth of this nation, especially in the aimed forces. Boys and men who have passed perfect physical examinations upon entering the service, have contracted diseases within a four week period after entering camp. The writer refers to the existing vice conditions the camps, and the free privileges given boys in of regard to the use of liquor and beer. This our youth can only be stopped by the enactment of ,such legislation as proposed by Senator Lee. Write your Senators and Representatives to support whatever legislation you want. They represent YOU at the nation's capitol. ng self-destructi- on -- o- FLYING NORTH As the fall weather approaches, we watch the flight of ducks and geese as they begin the annual migration to warmer climes, but last Saturday we witnessed a flight that was "head'n North." Many people left their various duties when the drone of bombers of varmotors filled the skies and some thirty-fiv- e the ious sizes flew to the north. Many felt tightening heart strings, the blanching of their cheek as they watched death dealing birds of war wing swiftly these e fast-flyin- g, northward. . . where? Perhaps to Canada, then to England, Russia, .Africa, the Ear East, or perhaps to our own east coastnevertheless northward they went, in two, three, fives, sixes, droning steadily until they were far out of sight. It made one wonder if that piece of scrap metal had helped to build that bomber, if that bond had helped in any way to place those delicate instruments in the control panel or if any one you knew hapened to be at the controls or was a member of the crew fl ing north to unknown dangers, unknown lands, unknown death. ... Somewhere, someone has been working, in factory, as we here must work in the fields, the shop, the home. Somewhere, metals are being turned from scrap iron into finished products. Somewhere, men arc training to fly, until it seems that all must, somewhere, somehow, do their part, in tlie all-oeffort to bring about a speedy and permanent peace. The allowances given the dependents of America's fighting men amount to a national disgrace. At a time when we are spending hundreds of billions to fight the war, and when waste is rampant, the government gives the dependent mothers, children and wives of soldiers and sailors sums ranging from $15 to $50 per month each. And $20 of a $50 allowance comes out of the $50 a month paid a private soldier. Contrast this with the generous treatment accorded labor. Its wages are at e highs. It lias been promptly given almost every wage increase it has demanded. The War Labor Board has allowed major labor groups recent wage increases on the grounds that they were necessary to compensate "for increases in theh cust of 'living." And while that goes on, the dependents of men who are drafted into service receive pensions which are not enough to keep body and soui all-tim- sl, A If the draft age la lowered to 18, a 7,500,000-ma- n army can be buiit up in 1943 without calling married men with children, Selective Service Director Hershey reported. Induction of married men with wives only will begin immediately to fill the army's call for 1,100,000 by January 1, he said. .Mr iamil c'ay t ffiM t : t fag-wavin- ,sp-ech- es ! 1 lend-lea- of p.

They had the opportunity to obtain the simple, in teresting and accurate information that underlies practical fire prevention. And now it is up to the people to put that information to work to make every week, in effect, a Fire Prevention Week. The National boards posters carried tins message: "Every fire is sabotage today!" And that is the literal truth Fire is the friend of the Axis. Fire destroys materials, en ergies, resources and labor that must be devoted to the pro secution of the war. A small fire may not (seem important but the total damage done by thousands of small fires far exceeds the havoc caused by some conflagration which makes the headlines.
