UNITY OF THE COUNTRY
As the service men travel wide-
ly about the Uni~d States, they
gre probably impressed with the
kle~ that the American people are
about the same in. all sections. The
g~azTaents they wear are a good
the same, whether sold in
0allfornia or New York. There are
aO~e differences in architectm'e
and some special styles are favor-
e¢l in certain localities. But the
general appearance of cities and
towns is a good deal the same,

as or Florida or Pennsylvania.

the country, and promote the same

production of potatoes and beans
and peas and many useful vegeta-
bles was turned out by the sweat:
and industry of our good folks.
Now the need is still more acute.
The populations that look to us
for help are vastly increased. Those
poor folks will turn with pleading
hands and agonized voices for aid
from the United States. They will
cry out that their children are thin
and emaciated from malnutrition.
The offering of a great volume of
food will be a mighty war and
political weapon. It will win great
aid for our cause.
The more food we can send to
stricken Europe, the more coopera-
tion and aid we shall get. This will
mean that our soldiers and m~ilors
and airmen will need to do less
fighting.
Also the danger of food scarcity
is so great that we may to some
extent have a hur, ger problem of
our own. We cannot be sure, after
we have done what we should for
our armed forces and allies,
whether we shall have enough food
to keep everyone comfortable at
home. Self-preservation should lead
people to plan to raise some food
themselves wherever this is pos-
sible. A small back yard or vacant
lot can produce a lot of life sus-~
' taining vegetables.
Let us not be afraid if it takes a
little work and sweat, and keeps
us at home some days when we
want to go on picnics or attend a
ball game. It will pay us generously
not merely in filling gaps in the
food supply but in the health that
comes from wholesome exercise.

ALUMINUM MIRACLE
One of the earliest concerns over
war material shortages had ,to do
with aluminum. This essential
metal ranks high in the production
of planes and other machines of
war, and it was soon learned that
available supplies were far short of
meeting the increased demand.
The government's first move to
augment supplies was to call upon
housewives to donate their surplus
and little used kitche~ utensils.
This brought many tons of alum-
inum forthwith and did much to

NO CLASS LINES HERE *
Traditionally we separate, in an
election year, into Democrats and
Republicans. But then most of us
suspend such distinctions after we
vote, until time to vote again.
In this crucial election of 1944
there are appearing, week by week,
new signs and portents of a grow-I
ing effort to divide us into classes, I+
and then to array class againstI
class. No lasting good can come to]
America from such a movement, as
its proponents indubitably know.
There are two main segments of'
our national economy, however, who
will not be tricked into believing
that they are classes unto them-
selves and thus divided--the coun-
try's farmers and its businessmen.
They have comprehended that their
future development and success--
so vital to a better America--de-
pend upon the solution of the same
basic current and postwar problems.
They will be bulwargs against
those enemies of democracy who
would divide us against ourselves
at a time when our very existence
depends upon national unity.

NEWSPAPERS IN ELF-~TION
YEAR
The American people have this
year the Job on their hands of
nominating and electing the offi-
cials who will run the various units
of government. The success and
welfare of the people depend very
largely on how far they exercise
good judgment in political choices.
If they will read the newspapers
regularly they will obtain infor-
mation about the actions and pol-
icies of the various units of gov-
ernment, and become intelligent in
passing a verdict on platforms and
candidates. Before business men
buy lines of goods, they consult
trade'papers to find what is being
offered and what the goods cost.
So the newspaper is the people's
trade paper about the problems of
government. It helps them decide
the issues that perplex the mind
when voting day comes.

EMPLOYMENT PROBLEM
The two biggest problems before
the American people are: First,
how to win the war at the earliest
possible date. Second, how to pro-
vide work for everybodY after the
war. The problem of winning the
war is partly a technical problem
of military science, partly one of
marshaling all American energy to
this one end.
The second problem is nearly as
difficult. All over the land, busi-
ness people are working on this
question. One of the greatest stim-
ulators of business in dull times Is
the lowering of prices. Business

A,NIN? YOUTH
How will the boys and girl~ comeI
through this wartime? How many]
of them will go wrong, and doI
things that will get them intol
trouble? There are many agencies l
for the training and instruction of
,youth, but it is pointed out that i
the training they get in their
homes is extremely important.
Some parents will say they have
done their best to train their chil-
dren, but that these youngsters per-
sist in doing wrong things, and
have .become disobedient.
Some parents do not train their
children in the very first years of
their lives to do what they are told.
The little ones Toured as babies that
they could get what they wanted
by yelling and cross action:s, and
they gradually managed to get their
own way to a large extent. At an
early age they may disregard the
counsels of their parents.
Some children are easy to train,
while other seem naturallY obstin-
ate and it is a puzzle to know how
to deal with them: Parents seem
to come out the best if they are
both firm and kind. If the kids get
the idea that by teasing and cross
actions they can get their own
way, they are more likely to do
things the parents will not like.
If the children are trained to
obey in early youth, they are more
likely to do right when they get a
little older, and if it becomes neces-
sary to leave them to themselves
for a time. If parents can find
time to enter into the games and
pleasures of their children, theY get
more of their sympathy, and the
children are less likely to break
out of bounds. If children loVe
their parents, they are more likely
to be governed by parental counael. -
It takes a lot of effort to train
some children properly, but par-
ents are rewarded by the better
conduct that usually results.

THAT GAS RATION COUPON
Your most important business, and ours, is to
help win the war. And one of the major Allied
weapons m military action on every front is oceans

That is why your government asks you to do
two things:
1. Endorse the face of every coupon
in your possession.
2. Use tho gasoline you buy
for ossential driving only.
The simple truth is... and we pledge
you this upon our good name.., that
the supply of gasoline for civilian use
is short. Every day brings ever-increas-
ing need for gasoliue and oil for planes,
tanks, jeeps, PT-boats, and landing

ba~ges.., for petroleum products used ia synthetic
rubber, explosives, and other war chemicals.
When you endorse your gas ration coupons, you
do your part to help smash the black market which
sells gasoline, that your soldier son needs, to people
who use it for their own pleasure.
Remember, if every car-owner saves only one gal.
Ion of gasoline a week, the national saving will
total at least 85,000,000 gallons a
month.
