The Vote was 82 to 0 in the Senate and 388 to 1 in the 'House. The President spoke only 6 minutes and 30 second, compared with Woodrow Wilsons. 29 minutes and 34 seconds. Congress approved the resolution in the record time of 33 minutes after President Roosevelt bitterly denounced Japanese aggression. The President personally delivered his message to a joint session of the House and Senate. Debate, such as was had between April 2, 1917, when President Wilson requested war against Ger1many, and April 6, when a declaration of war was approved by Congress, was missing at this time. And on December 11, 1941, the Congress declared war on the other two axis powers. The Senate acted first, approving the German resolution recognizing existence of hostilities by a vote of 88 to 0 and the Italian, 90 to 0. The House votes were 393 to 0 and 399 to 0, respectively, on the German and President Roose Italian resolutions. velt did' not personally appear at the Capitol to deliver his second message, but it arrived by special messenger, was received by the Congress at 12:24 p. m., and adopted by 1:04 p. in.

To men, to womeii, to youngsters and oldsters alike each one of us has his part to do. Winning a war isnt just loading a gun and firing a bullet it goes much farther and deeper than that. It starts with every tiny detail of our daily lives. We must be more watchful, lees wastehil. not only of big thingil but of little things as well. air-rai- air-ra- id Soane we will be called upon for even greater conservation of material: greater contributions to public welfare; and create cooperation in bnvine Defense bonds tad other measures that will be inaugurated to win the war. Save paper, rars and other materials instead of burning them. Cooperate In a great many of these ways that appear to fe smail, but which on the whole are extremely important contributions toward a saving of time, money and material so vital in wiiming the war. We do Job Wort ut spokesmen. Lloyd K. Schlappi, county supervisor for the Farm Security Administration, said that ' farmers all over the nation are showing heightened interest in the FSA program of "community and cooperative services" as an aid to carrying out their defense production pledges. "There is no doubt that cooperation is the cheapest as well as one of the easiest and most neighborly ways for small farmers to get the advantages of efficient labor-savin- g machines," Mr. Schlappi declared. "Most o us know this is true, but the incentives to cooperation arq bigger today than ever before. The individual who buys an expansive piece of. equip ment now and intends to pay it off on time may find that time and fluctuation in money and profits will make repayment tougher than it looks. Cooperative buying can not only lighten the first cost and all operating expens es, but in case of machine shortages it will spread the benefits of modern equipment a lot more widely." The FSA community and cooperative services program makes individual loans at 3 per cent interest to eligible farmers Who want to get together on purchase of a tractor, other mechanical facilities, or a purebred livestock sire that all of the group need. Funds loaned are pooled to buy the article desired. Repayment is made in 1 to 5 years from fees collected by the cooperative in proportion to each farservice mers use of the jointly-owne- d "Farmers who need heavy .machines or- blooded sires are eligible' for loans from Farm Security only if they are unable to get adequate credit at reasonable terms from other sources, Mr. ' Continued on Last page may be screaming. He may be trying to create a panic. Keep off the streets during the raid. If youre more than five minutes from home when an air raid comes, lie down under shelter otherwise go home and stay there. Put out the lights if the planes come over. The lights that are out will never guide an enemy bomber. Doht wait for the last warning. Keep all unnecessary lights out anyway. In case of a raid, lie down indoors, away from windows. Fix a refuge room in your home or apartment the room with the least glass. Put curtains or drapes, portieres material or blankets, or any over the windows. Take the things you need eyeglasses, cards, magazines, food, drinking water, toilet facilities, a screen, a table with good stout legs and a mattress for each member of the family Into this room Lie down on the mattress.
