The Union Press-Courier gives its advertisers the advantage of the combined circulation of the two largest circulated weeklies in Cam- bria County and has a reader cov- erage that blankets Patton and the major mining towns. ad THANK YOU! The Editor takes this means of thanking his friends in the Democratic Party who, by their votes at the Primary Election on Tuesday, re-nominated him to be one of the three candidates of the party for re-election to the Gen- eral Assembly in the Second Dis- trict of Cambria County, and re- spectfully solicits the support of all voters at the General Election. THOMAS A, OWENS, NOW THAT THE PRIMARIES ARE over, and so little interest was dis- played by the voters, that does not mean that the general election next November won't be a direct oppo- site of the polling of Tuesday. With both major parties already girding for the election of a president, despite the war, more and more interest will be created as the days, weeks and the ~months roll by. Of course, the ac- tuzl campaigns won't start until af- the conventions in early summer, but unless there are some rapid develop- ments not now evidenced the issue will be between President Roosevelt and Governor Dewey of New York. \!

Our guess is thai, unless there is some major change in the war situation, the re-| sult of next fall's election won't be | any different than if the general el- ection had been held this week, Most folks, we believe, already have pret- | ty well definitely decided where they stand. They are either for or against. | And they will remain that way, de-| spite all attempts of politicians to | change their minds. The war has the whip-hand at this time. The war next | | November will still be the feature | | topic—not the election. | REE | soldiers, [IF IS SO FOOLISH FOR SO MANY | of us to complain about the little | {and even the big inconveniences we | (may have to suffer these days. We (have it pretty soft, indeed, as com-| | pared to the boys who are, and have {been fighting out in the far flung) | battlefronts. Were any one of those | to have the living conditions of even | | the poorest of us, they would feel | i they were “living the life of Reilly.” | | When we grumble and complain, we {should be ashamed of ourselves—and | | the patriotic folks who have to listen | | to us likely have an impression that {lowers our prestige a lot. | | ok ok | | MOST OF THESE BOYS WHO ARE | | in the thick of battle, write letters| {that are cheerful to their home folks. | | They prove they are good Americans | {and the ‘“‘cream of the crop” of sol- diers. Though they may be suffering the torments of hell, they won't attempt to leave their loved ones at | home know about it. Maybe a long | tirne afterward, they'll drop a hint of {what they've been through. | 5 ok | YET WE HAVE CHISELERS HERE | | at home who would look askance | lig you were to tell them as much. | The chap who operates in black mar- | ket gasoline, for example, whether he sells or buys it. The black market in gasoline has grown to huge pro- | portions throughout the country. Ex-| I perience has shown that limiting the | gas supply or restricting the value of | | ration coupons cannot lick racketeer-| ting, and only through the constant {help of most everybody, and cooper- (ation of everybody will the “blood” money operators be exterminated. | WITH WAR NOW BEING ON THE] verge of what may be several mon- | ths’ of its very bitterest stage, we, lon the home front, in these good old | | United States, must all the more lend | St | every help to the winning of early | ‘and ultimate victory. We must be | | fair with everyone. There isn’t a re-| lader of this column who hasn't heard | , complaints in his own home commun- | (ity of some neighbor or neighbors jin that community, and their lack | of interest in the war effort. It may | be under the selective service sub-| i ject. It may be just, or it may be an-| just, or it' may be, too, the neighbor | with a “B"” gasoline sticker, just the | same as your own, who constantly keeps his car on the move, even | though he has far less need of using | his car than you. You know he’s get-, i than his classification entitles him to. You feel it keenly, and you talk about him behind his back. It's too bad he doesn't hear it directly to his face, not only from you, but from all his neighbors. THAT IS A CONDITION THAT EX- ists in most every town and hamlet in this nation, There are those who try and help for the common good— and there are those who feel that the regulations don't apply to them. NEXT WEEK THE PENNSYLVA- nia State Legislature will meet at Harrisburg for a five day session, (we hope), to liberalize the voting of the sailors, marines and other war units. At this time the leaders of both parties seemingly are agreed that it should be a harmonious sess- ion, that there should be no politics, that the business should be accom- plished in the shortest possible time —and that the legislators go home. There should be no change in this program, The party or individual who attempts a change should be re- pudiated by the people. This session of the legislature is called for a dis- tinct. purpose—to facilitate the easy voting of service people, regardless of where they are. The leaders of both major political parties are to be con- gratulated on their determination to keep it that way. oe ok ok WE HAVE NOTICED IN THE rews columns that the Patton Gar- den Study Club contemplates the beautifying of the corner lot where the Palmer House once stood. Surely every one in Patton will laud them (for that ambition. It takes clubs like clubs with a real make for this—little civic purpose behind them—to the betterment of any community. The Patton Garden Study Club's members no doubt have had much real enjoyment out of their venture in the past few years of its organiza- tion. The fact that interest does not lag is proof that such is the case, FATTON BOROUGH COUNCIL IS entirely right that delinquent tax properties should not be sold at ab- surdly low figures, and that at least | the amcunt of the tax due exclusive of interest and other costs, should be realized. Citizens generally should have to serve on a tax fixing body such as school boards or councils, to realize the large amounts of taxable income that is lost through compro- niises entirely “ of reason.” THE RED CROSS BLOOD DONOR {Unit will be back in Cambria coun- ty again during the summer months, and this time, we are informed, it will be located in both Patton and Barnesbhoro for a few days. It will give all an excellent opportunity to contribute that pint of blood for the much needed plasma that is saving so many thousands of our boys out in the front lines these days from an otherwise certaingdeath.: dodo KEEP ON BUYING WAR BONDS. It’s the very least you can do here at home, to bring the boys back vie- torious at an early date.

L. Guyton, director, Bureau of Plant Industry, Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. Seventeen year locusts, whose sci- entific name is periodical cicada, damage only trees and shrubs that have bark, but do not eat leaves of garden plants or vegetation of any kina, The female locust cuts slits in the bark or twigs in which to depos- it their eggs.. It is these slits that weaken twigs and small branches which frequently break and hang down. With the sap flow cut off, the leaves on the twig die. A tree that has large numbers of such injuries scen has the appearance of appearing dead on most outer branches. About the only way to protect val- uable young fruit trees or shrubs from locust damage is to cover them with mosquito netting or other cheap mesh during the approximately six weeks that the locust are active from late May to early July, Dr. Guyton says. ee Ve MINE OFFICIALS UNION TO MEET IN NANTY-GLO Locals at North Cambria coal mines affiliated with the United Supervis- ory, Clerical and Technical Employ- ees Union, will meet at 5 o'clock on Sunday afternoon in the Nanty-Glo United Mine Workers Hall.
