JUST ABOUT A WEEK PASSED
from the time the President issued
an order which certainly sounded as
if the nation were going to get a
showdown, at last, on the question
of industrial deferment from the
draft of young single men who can
and should be replaced. Selective
Service headquarters promulgated |
what appeared to be forceful in- |
structions for that gravely needed
housecleaning. In an amazingly
short time the whole thing is seen
heading back into the same old con-
fusion, or worse. Instead of a real
clean-up there are strong indications
that the draft dirt is likely to bel
swept under the rug.
*EkkkE
THE ARMY IS AT LEAST TWO
hundred thousand men behind sch-
edule. In every city, town and village
throughout the country, married men
with one, two, and up to seven chil-
dren, are being inducted or getting
ready for induction into the fighting
farces of the nation. They are the
ones who are becoming “1-A mind-
ed.” Draft boards are not to blame
| the service
| larger
| PEACE
that so many young men now in so-
called war work are not in the ser-|
vice long ago. Replacements could,
have been trained for all these young |
chaps a year ago. No wonder so
many wives who see their husbands |
off to service, and are left alone to]
rear their families, feel bitterly the
fact there still are ‘deferred war
plant workers” who enjoy civilian |
life so graciously, and who are mak-|
ing more money ‘than they ever did. !
ALL MOTORISTS CHARGED WITH
violation of the 35 mile speed lim-
it now face loss of their gasoline ra-
tion coupons. Enforcement of the
speed regulations has been tighten-
ed in recent weeks, particularly in
some of the heavily populated cen-
ters, because of an increase in acci-
dents, and speeders now face both
penalty of fines and curtailment of
rations.
*kkEk
GET SET TO LAY OUT A FEW EX-
tra pennies for that after-work
“pick-me-up” when the new ederal
excise taxes go into effect on liquor |
on April 1st. Although tavern keep-
cept his thoughts with alacrity. He
| feels the infantrymen at the front
lines are not receiving their just dues
and figures at the least they should
receive more remuneration that could
pe called “fight pay.” A number of
branches are so accorded
pay. Most anyone will agree
that the men who are enduring the
hardships, and the extreme dangers
of front line service, surely are en-
titled to more than the chap who
| wears the uniform, but in compara-
| tive safety, and in much better liv-
i ing surroundings.
REE $
MANEUVERS AT BOTH
ends of the German eastern line
| threaten Hitler when he is in desper-
| ate need of a united front against
the Allies. In the north, Finland and
Russia jockey for position for an ar-
mistice and disposal of 100,000 Nazi
troops, and in the South Bulgaria
and Rumania are reported putting
out peace feelers. Of course much
more than feelers is required to take
| any of these countries out of the war.
Obstacles are many. In additional to
! the usual territorial and related is-
sues, the greatest barrier to with-
| drawal of any of these nations from
the conflict is the Nazi army on their
soil. Even if and when other obsta-
cles have been disposed of sufficient-
|ly to permit formal negotiations, the
difficulty of interning or defeating
German troops may destroy the en-
tire peace chance—which is the pres-
ent danger in Finland. But they do
present cracks in Hitler's wall, and
it is not unreasonable to assume the
cracks will grow larger and larger.
rkEw
CONGRESSIONAL SOURCES THAT
are close to the Navy present the
guess that the Japanese eventually
will have to pull into the “inner ring”
which includes the China Sea but
not Formosa. This ring might ex-
tend as much as 350 to 400 miles
from the Jap main islands. An ine-
vitable battle between the Jap navy
and ours will be delayed until we
cross this ring. The Japs won't risk
an all-out naval battle until they
have adequate air cover. Other sour-
ces think Japan will try to go on the
offensive when we invade western
Europe. Their dope is that the Na-
zis have sent a last call for Jap help
and have explained that the Japs’
only chance is when we are busy in
Western Europe.
rEEEE
RUMOR HAS IT THAT THE NEW
ration tokens are finding ther way
into some of the pin-ball machines,
and perhaps, too, some of the coin
vending machines. We don’t know if
they work in any of the slot machines
or not. The Truman committee is
said to have bottled up an investiga-
tion into the token program, as they
don't want to advertise misuse of
ersatz money, and the report was
made privately to OPA.
REESE
SAUERKRAUT, PROMOTED TO
the delicacy class by a shortage,
will soon reappear as a companion
to that extra pork. Some 80,000
tons of winter cabbage is being di-
verted to kraut makers because of
all time high of the southern crop.
EEEEE
GRUMBLING IN CONGRESS ON
the fighting in Italy may break in-
to the open on the floor of the House
of Representatives shortly, with op-
en criticism of British leadership,
both Naval and Military. But back
of it all will be found the usual fla-
vor of politics.
* kkk
THE ISSUE BETWEEN PRESI-
dent Roosevelt and Congress is
likely to be raised again over the
soldier vote bill. Congress is expect-
ed to complete action on the measure
late this week by approving the con-
ference agreement between House
and Senate versions, and it will then
go to the President tc sign or to ve-
to. Mr. Roosevelt seemingly has pre-
scribed his test for the bill by saying
that the crux of the matter is whe-
ther more soldiers will be given a
i chance to vote under existing law,
passed in 1942, or by the new bill.

MEANWHILE THERE IS EVERY
indication that Governor Martin of
Pennsylvania will convene a special
ers are barred from raising the price | session of the state legislature in a
of whiskey under cur- ! short time with the purpose given as
of a *shot”
rent ceiling regulations, OPA opines
that the prices rules undoubtedly |
will be eased to permit bar rooms
to pass the new taxes on to the con-
sumer.

that maybe March would treat us
favorably in that respect, we were
rudely shown last weekend that such
waa not to be the case. One thing in
our favor now against old man win-
ter is the fact that the rays of the
sun soon dispel a lot of the snowy

PATTON SPORTSMEN'S AS-
sociation held an enthusiastic
open meeting on Tuesday evening.
If you live in the local community,

duty to affiliate with the local organ-

UNLESS THE CONGKESSIONAL
situation among the Democrats in
the county, and a few contests in the
Republican ranks create some inter-
est, the primary election in April
promises to be a rather drab and un-
interesting affair. Only the present
incumbent, Harve Tibbott has filed
for the Republican nomination for
Congress, but four Democrats aspire
to the Democratic nomination. They
are Attorney Walter Glass, Robert
Clark and Eddie McCloskey, all of
Johnstown, and Nathan Asbel, of
Johnstown. Senator John J. Haluska
has no opposition in his party for a
renomination for a third term, and;
he will be opposed by Homer C.
George of South Fork, the only Re-
publican to file. In the Democratic
second district assembly primary.
only a single entry has been made ag-
ainst the three present incumbents,
and four Republicans have filed for
the three legislative nominations.
EEE
SINCE PUBLICATION OF THE
Honor Roll list in these columns
last week, there are now possibly 12
to 15 new names that can be entered
in it. For the most part they are
the names of married men from the
community, family men. And lately,
too, many men of prominence in the
county are being ‘called. Many of
them are business and professional
men. Tuesday John F. James, editor
of the Johnstown Democrat, passed
his pre-induction examination for
service in the Navy; three more of
the county's attorneys were called;
the chairman of the County Demo-
cratic committee passed for service,
managers of several business estab-
lishments over the county and in
Johnstown, have been accepted. Next
week many will leave for active ser-
vice from the north county who have
been married for years and have fa-
milies. More and more, most EVERY
home is being affected by some one
or more of its loved ones in the ser-
vice and uniform of their country,
and to the few homes not so touch-
ed, we say “You, indeed, are fortu-
nate.”
EEERE
WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK THE
writer's family again will be af-
fected by the selective service when
Richard D. Bradley, a nephew, rear-
ed in our household, married, with
four small children, leaves for they
U. S. Navy. “Dick,” was for many
years an employee of the Press-Cour-
ier, was the local state store mana-
ger up until last year, and currently
18 manager of the Barnesboro State
Liquor Store. Within the next few
weeks the husband of one of our
nieces, also of our household, will go
to service. Our own boy has been in
servce since 1942, overseas now for
a year.
REEEE
AND THE SAME HOLDS GOOD IN
a majority of the nation’s families.
Some families have every last eligi-
ble—boys and girls—in the service.
Patton has its tour and five stars on
service flags. We pass one of those
every day when we drive past the
William McLaughlin home on Fifth
Avenue. And gold stars hang in some
Patton windows. These are concrete
arguments for a substantial contri-
bution form all of us at home for the
American Red Cross—not just a rou-
tine contribution, but all that we can
afford.

“THE DESERT SONG,” Is A
PICTURE THAT YOU WILL
ENJOY ALL THE WAY THRU
Dennis Morgan is pleased to report
that his current filmic romance rea-
ches a completely successful culmin-
ation. “I really get the girl this
time,” he said, with more than fa
shade of manly pride.
As one of the handsomest leading
men in Hollywood, Morgan, it seems,
hes been losing entirely toAo many of
his leading ladies, either to the at-
tractions of other men or to the dis-
astrous machinations of the thing
called fate.
Things are different though in
“The Desert Song” whcih will be the
attraction at the Grand Theatre, in
Patton on Sunday and Monday, Mar.
12 and 13, with a matines on Sun-
day afternoon at 2:30. It is Warner
Bros. modernized Technicolor Musi-
cal in which Morgan is co-starred
with Irene Manning, the beautiful
blonde singing actreess. He claims
Miss Manning for his own, despite
the competition of Bruce Cabot.
