The tremendous proindicate schedules clearly that supplies will be ready duction for every man of that army is his services are needed. With the cold harsh warning that we must prepare ourselves for larger casualty lists, must also come the realization that our losses will still be small in comparison with many of our Allies and our enemies. For Europe will become more and more a continent of shambles in the new year. Bombing will blast German cities unmercifully will leave a wake of war destruction such as the world has never before witnessed. It is probable that France, and even Belgium, will be fought over again. It seems certain now that only this glorious land of ours among the great nations of the world will escape the punishment of war at home. We seem destined to know only by what we hear and read of the real sufferings of war. Even the sight of an occasional hero, who has given his leg, his arm, or his sight, in this fight for the life we enjoy, is too quickly forgotten. It is to be hoped that unlike 1943, that 1914 will find us more willing to accept and face the many and varied problems.

To the average mind the need of 12,000 planes a month with which to destroy or conquer our enemies is beyond comprehension.

There's a difference in paying twenty dollars for a nand-ba- g cents you don't need and having to pay twenty-fiv- e for a loaf of bread you have to have. Bread is an essential in your cost of living. So are meat, cheese, milk, fruits and vegetables, clothing, household furnishings and hundreds of other items that you buy and use every day. And when you hear that the OPA is holding the cost of living fairly stable, it's the prices of those essential things that are referred ,to. But the point about the high cost of shopping is this: If you go out on a splurge now, and spend more than you should on luxury .items, don't blame OPA for not holding down your living costs. Blame yourself for not being able to look a price tag straight in the eye, and say no. One great genera!, however heroic, is something less than an army. It takes more than one progressive farmer to make a rich agricultural country. Or.e illustrious scholar is no substitute for an enlightened people. Average greatness is what counts when you compare nations, and America has average greatness. The crisis has passed in the cruel-ecf all war3 because cf American Italy has changed competence. sides, the Germans are falling back and Japan is waxing pale. Turning the tide of battle on tropical Island, Russian plain and .African desert was achieved in the factories of the United States of America where today half the arms and munitions made in the world are being turned out. Not Super-MeOurs is an exceptional people. Four years ago the United States, a nation at peace, was making only one percent of the arms and munitions used in the world. Now we are producing as much as our allies and our enemies combined. The gain is startling. Such a changeover would have been impossible anywhere but in America. Alert resourcefulness born of freedom and has grown robust under the competitive system of Private Enterprise. Uncle Sam's most valuable resource 13, if you please, resourcefulness. America's vaunted superiority and rich veins in fertile crop-lan- d of ore is largely oratory. Our natural resources are great but they can be approximated in three or four foreign countries. Moreover our population is small among world powers. Yet we turn the tide of battle: Why? Because no other nation has more than half of America's ability to produce. The Power to Win May I repeat a few figures? They are worth repeating! America's industrial production is twice as big as per man-hoEngland's and three times that of continental Europe, six times Japan's and more than ten times as great as that of India or China. Our average worker is competent and so is the farmer who, under handicaps, has kept workers and fighters fed.

Our people have done an amazing job, fighting Kith Private EnThe next real contest terprise. (equally important and maybe harder to win) will come when we start fighting for Private Enterprise; a struggle that is certain to come. Already some people are advocating stricter government management of industry after the war. Worth Defending It behooves us to protect our economic system as a soldier protects his weapon. When our enemies have lost their war, the world will know that Private Enterprise won it. d people at home and abroad will understand that Americans can't be forced to accept dictatorship until Private Enterprise has been crippled. Our system is not perfect. Private Enterprise is subject to criticism; no doubt to improvement. Just the same, measured by results, there is no better economic system anywhere in use or on record. Private Enterprise has made America great with a prosperous, enlightened and resourceful people able to do big jobs in a hurry and turn defeat into victory. Every suggested change should be studied with critical caution and discreet deliberation. shop-work- er TrBST Department Mr. and Mrs. Preston Petersen, of Virginia, Idaho, were the overnight guests Tuesday of Mr. and Mrs. Eng-va- r Petersen.

Smith was the special speaker at Sacrament meeting, Sunday evening. w & Power-craze- GRATITUDE After having read in papers and heard over the radio that there would not be snow for Christmas, most people had made up their minds to that effect. It was a happy surpise upon arising Christmas morning to see the deep layer of white. It fell so softly that it seemed almost like a benediction to the valley, after a wonderful year of splendid weather and bounteous crops. In spite of the fact that most of our young men are away in the service of our country, and were unable to spend the Yule season at home, we cannot help but have a feeling of gratitude that we are permitted to enjoy the many blessings we do have in this valley, which to us is the best place on the earth.

Commodities that may remain in freezer space for anly a single period of 10 days are stomachs, pork skins, hearts, heads, ears, tripe, fries, melts, plucks, chitterlings, snouts, hocks, pork tails, pigs feet, veal tails and ox tails, kidneys and knuckles. Cheddar Cheese For Civilians Civilians will continue to receive about 30 million pounds a month of cheddar cheese although manufacturers are required to set aside 30 per cent of their output during January and February to meet war requirements. In addition to cheddar cheese, civilians receive almost all of the other types of cheese produced, bringing their total supply to about 45 millions pounds a month. Tire, Tube Supply Still Low Tire and tube quotas for January reflect the continuing shortage. The quota of 276,629 new truck tires is 13,890 less than the December figure, and the quota of 230,400 new truck tubes is 27,787 under the December figures. Similarly, a lessening in demand which usually occurs during the colder months accounts for lower January quotas for farm tractor and. farm implement tires and tubes. The tire quota is 27,600 lower by 4,600 than the December figures, while the January tube quota is 23,000 lower by 9,200. Release Peaches to Civilians Approximately 750,000 cases of peaches, previously set aside for government purchase, have been released for civilian supples and will reach some retail markets within a few weeks.

This special ration will be issued upon presentation of leave papers to a local rationing board and a letter from the attending medioal officer certifying that transportation automobile, by rather than by any other means,' will materially assist in the recovery of the serviceman's health. Chicken Dinners For Servicemen Freezer stocks of chickens and fowl (hens) placed in storage up to December 30 have been set aside by WFA for purchase by the armed forces, the War Shipping Administration and other governmental agencies. The order, FD091, affects dealers, restaurant i hotel operators, producers, processors, wholesalers, retailers and all other owners of frozen chickens except owners of less that 3,000 pounds and owners of chickens held in individual "family" locker space. Holders are required to report their holdings to designated U. S. Army Quartermaster Market Centers within 10 days. Chicken is a part of the army's master menu for Sunday "chow" at least twice a month and a vital part of the diet in military hospitals. - To Sell Some Shoes To Get More Children's Wear To insure sufficient production of infant's and children's wear-th- e industry has been included by the War Manpower Commission in its list of essential activities.
