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, Whether they are located in Tex- as or Florida or Pennsylvania. The newspapers look a good deal Mike, ih the character of their ~ews and features. Editorial opin- vary greatly, but the editor Of one section will find plenty of l~Pers across the country that agree perfectly with him. The Churches preach somewhat the sOane ideas about religion and mor- ality. The clergyman of one city likely to find his views equally aCCeptable 1000 miles away. The ~hools all cherish high ideals of education, and try to open the dOOrs of opportunity to all young l~oople. Many social and business organizations extend throughout the country, and promote the same for the most part. There are differences in language, ~ce a large section of our people Were born in foreign lands, and a many of them have not learn- to speak and read English very Well. Restriction of immigration I~a greatly reduced the number Who enter this country, so that the l~rOportion of those who do not un- derstand English is declining. People have very different ideas, even if they wear the same clothes alld belong to the same organiza- Mons. These differences arise largely out of conflict of econo- mic interests. So long as their in- terests conflict there will be many EIl~erences of opinion. 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. ~-V-~ 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 The fact that the American pen-the housewife will soon have her OUR DEMOCRACY- by Mat ~)UR HER.OE~ OF TODAy, LIKE.

Official information, just re- leased, places the annual production heSS of course is entitled to make of aluminum in the United States a fair profit.

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. --V-- 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. i i • The poet said a boy's will is the wind's will, but at least the wind is willing at any time to turn the windmill. ---V.-- The country is said to be in need of reform.

V-~ 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.

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. ~.V~ Public swimming pools not mere!YI give people a chance to learn ~vl I swim, but they convince some thatl it is not dangerous to take baths. I Count you use 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 o/petroleum. 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 Care /or your car-- For your country 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.
