MEAT IN STORAGE PRESENT CONFLICT American miners, like American soldiers, are today engaged in the toughest and most exacting fight of their long history. Their objective is to meet the demands of our factories and arsenals for thearaw mater-ila- s of war production. That means, of course, they 'are fighting to produce more guns and tanks, ships and planes for the Army and Navy. Underground and in the pits, a milion miners are working daily with drills picks and dyamite to blast our minerals which one day as arms and equippment, will be delivered to us. . They are mining scores of different minerals fur thousands of different uses. The coal they mine provides power to turn the whels of industry; to fire the blast furnaces where ore which other miners have dug will be fused into iron and steeL This year copperminers are providing us with more than 1,500, 000 tons of indispensable copper. Theres a ton of it in the Garand rifles of every triangular infantry division. There are fourteen tons of it fur every million cartridges we shoot More than a hundred tons of copper rode in the Flying Fortressess and Liberators which made their famous daylight attack on Lille, in France. ... Miners are' digging out many other metals too, without which we could not hope to fightTheres zinc, lead, mercury, tungsten, arsenic. There's bauxite from which aluminum is made. And less well known, but equally essential, are metals such as malybdenum, vanadium, and chrome. Not one, but most of them are required to build any of a hundred different weapons with which we are training now, with which we shall later fight. Working in the mines is no picnic. It means long hours of sweat toil. For many and it means days at a time far underground where sunlight never reaches. Yet our miners, like soldiers, are determined to make evry sacrifice the nation may require of them. They do this as free men resolved to remain free. Miners know that under Adolph Hitler's new order, they would be the first to feel the degrading weight of Nazi chains. Hitler knows as we do, that the appetite of a modern military machine for raw materials is ravenous. To appease it, he has not hesitated to enslave the miners of all occupied Europe, He has worked thousandsof them to death in his desperate attempt to destroy Russia. He would like to do the same thing here. American miners look to us in the armed forces to remove this threat to destroy Adolph Hitler and his little partners of Japan once and for all. But our miners do not just stand by and ask us to fight alone. They know their job too, in this struggle and are giving up everything they've got They are fighting with us. As soldiers of production, they are producing the raw materials for our arms and ammunitions, battleships and planes, tanks and communications. They, as well as workers in the factories and arsenals, are the arm behind the Army. Without us, they would be workers in chains. Without them we would be an army without arms. Together, we can and will whip the Axis. ever-in-crcasi- ng THE MOUNTAIN STATES WAR FRONT Nazi-occupi- ed e', back-breaki- At the last session of the Felix club, Mrs. M. E. Griggs was hostess.

Meat stored in freezer lockers should be declared by owners in meat rationing the nation-wid- e program which begins January 1, Director William Peterson of the state Extension service advises. Wild meat is not on the list included in the program, " director Unless Federal Peterson says. officials make a special ruling covering venision, elk, and game birds, these items will not be called for in the declaration. The slogan does not mean that people will be called to share with their neighbors what stores they have, but it means that all may share alike in the available market supply when rationing goes into effect, Director Peterson explains. storage ties right in with the rationing program, because holders won't buy meat from the market while they have stored supplies. There is one problem that will have to be solved by the Federal authorities: suppose a person has a good supply of pork on hand. Will he be compelled to exhaust his supply of pork before he is allowed to buy beef or mutton? Most people like variety in their meat diet and some provision should be made to allow for vari iety. rab-bit- ls 'share-theme- Wild-me- MARY OH at' at L Number 3 TAXES MUST BE PAID MUST BE LISTED mag-gancs- IHAH DRISCOLL DIED R0VEMRER 10 Mrs. Mary L.

Indications are that the volume of Christmas mail will be the largest on record. If thousands of our soldiers, sailors,marine and civilian friends are not to be disappointed at Christmas time, the public must copocratc by mailing earlier than ever before and by addressing letters and parcels properly. The free mailing privilege to members of the armed forces hhs raised their mailing some 30 per cent, it is estimated. Expansion of those forces also adding rapidly to the postal burden.
