We won't guarantee them but a New Jersey in- ventor is ready to patent wooden automobile tires. In a recent test run, on a smooth road, the tires were used on the front wheels of a light coupe which made seventy-five miles an hour, without annoying vibration. The tires are constructed of five layers of wood running the jong way, not one atop the next, as with rubber. They would cost less than $10 each under mass production, We just throw out this in- formation for the benefit of those who have tires that are wearing rather thin, There may be some- thing to the wooden tire ides, even if the speed has to be less, as the inventor suggests. CHINESE DESERVE ASSISTANCE A nation-wide drive will be launched in April to raise the comparatively trifling sum of $7,000.000 for Chinese relief Centre county will have its quota and the people of this county should lose no time in raising their share of this free-wil] offering designed to demon- strate our sympathy for the vietimg of Japanese aggression. The Chinese have demonstrated their right to live among the free peoples of the world, They have faced great odds and suffered enormous damage, Cruel indignities have been heaped upon the defense- less people of a peace-loving race. The people of this country have failed to make their usual generous response to appeals lor ald for the heroic Chinese, This is inexplicable to us. It should not stand on the record and the present 10 campalgn for $7,000,000 offers us an opportunity to show what we mean when we talk of brave China, AMERICANS MU ST TAKE WAR NEWS SENSIBLY The question that is asked Centre Democrat more than any the war coming along?” The people are of The “How is the editors other Is, hungry for news of victories, They want to hear that the Japanese have been smashed somewhere and that the Germans have been butchered in quantity For many weeks radio speakers and newspaper headline writers have played up unimportant phases of the war, over-emphasizing insignificant local vic~ tories, Consequently, the public is beginning to be wary of such successes As a result of this careless handling of the news of the war the public has been misled, at times, into the belief al our side had scored decisively, A few davs later became harder to understand the sud- ! of defenses and the onward march of example concerns the news of Gen. rival in Australia which, according to | experts, meant a bold, counter-offen- ainst the Japs, This will come in time 1 ce of Ma Arthur good general that he js in Australia 1s substitute for lacking planes, tanks and guns, which must be available for a successful attack upon the victory-drunk Japan- esC not a Unfted Nations are winning The Japs have amazing campalgns in We are taking loss- T'o pretend that the in the Par East js sheer launched one of most history.

Chinese and European, and often killed them, has been established by many reports, After the jooting, raping and killing that followed the fall of Nanking nobody but a smpleton would expect good behavior from Japanese soldiers, Self-satisfled Americans, who are immune to the suffering of innocent peoples far from home, should take notice of what this nation may expect if the Japanese invade the United States. They should be- stir themselves to every exertion to prevent such a blight upon our civilization More than the defense of our own land, we must esolutely prepare the way for preventing new Jap- anese outrages in the future. The defense of our civ- ligation means its defense anywaere in the world that it is assailed. The raping and killing of women by invading soldiers even in China and the Far East, shiould not leave us 20 aghast that we stand motion- jess those in the from from as it does Religion suffers as much chureh who do not do their duty those on the outside.
