We hear army today is greatly in technicians and machani- that -they want welders. and workers, radio and autc¢mo- cable splicers, Me on. There are many such workers on the outside defense jobs, doing a fine business in their line, but this call comes fcr workers as sol- diers. The present army is a mec- ‘hanized one and knows that even a house in a peaceful little village needs mechanical treatment to keep it in shape, and if this is so in a slumbering rural community, it is I true of a nation’s stand- ke or > * En oo" abl "CONQUEST OF CORN we go back to the days when corn y was the main dish of our Pil- grim forefathers, as they struggled to keep their bodies whole in their attempt to obtain freedom for their souls. They didn’t call those early. ears of corn by such names as Evergreen or Golden Bantum per- haps, nor realize that they were savoring vitamin A when they ate of the tasty dish. There is the corn meal that we prepare for the table, 3 in our southlands which was a favorite with the Indians, who ; by the way, should have the credit for instructing the Pilgrims how to plant corn and how to use it. What wo we do today without the alin, tho luscious ears, yellow, buttered and salt- with crunchy mouthsful grains, The temptress of gt def boon to life in a hot spot, the glory of a corner restrau- rant or an ornament banquet hall. You may be given little silver forks ‘with which to hold the ears daintily. or an ordinary looking tool that makes a handle which still keeps the fingers clean though the pro- cedures isn't as ‘ritzy’ appearing as the silver. But to most folks the old fashioned, down-to-cob method, working from left to right and back , cleaning up as you go along a smile of satisfaction that car- appearance of buter, Hi 1 i iil | and known in every, state k most every farm grows it, almost: every citizen wants it. When you talk about ‘buy American’ ‘we are! . | most happy if it is sweet corn on the cob! eo 0 GOLDENROD In this our native land, we have names for every sort of special week, chservances for every sort of special occasion, holidays to the right and left of us, anniversaries for all the alphabet, state songs, state flowers, slogans for all causes, scheol colors and mottoes for every | instance, but we have no national flower. Of course this is not neces- sary, but the way we do things in our country, it is rather surprising that somebody hasn't made scme kind of a campaign or national | drive popular in order to put this across a long time ago! Something tells us that if .we were put to a vote as to the flower most decided- ly American, the choice would be the goldenrod, a typically American bleom, having 125 species of , flower in’ the union. : The goldenrod is generally sup- pdsed to be classed as a flower of autumn but there are many locali- ties where it comes in early May. Eut the bloom is found to be most numerous in a large number of the states during the fall season. It grows in neglected fields, in gar- dens mixed with glorious blosscins of cultivated and care. It spreads through Iowlands and brings it golden yellow into the highlands. It lzsts for a long time and adds to the bezuty of fall with the bright and rusty oaks. When other : Spots s shew the mark of cold wea- . | ther ahead, there still stands the goldenrod midst asters and petun- ias. Yes, it is truly the American flower—it too can ‘take it’. ® 6 0 Some of the most effective criti- cism of the government in its hand- Iing of the war cffort has been bas- ed on the theciry that there has been a definite and lamentable lack of frankness in telling the people what is going on. Many officials, this argument runs, seem to regard the people as children, from whom unpleasant truths must be kept, One of the most common sayings in Washington circles today is that “the peciple aren't awake.” The defenders of the people are more completely awake than a good many of the bigwigs in govern- ment—and that the extent of popu- lzr bewilderment as to the course of the war is directly attributable to a stupid kind of censorship. In the newspaper fraternity, a peak of disgust was reached during the long drawn out trial of eight Nazi saboteurs. The high Army officers who made up the trial court seemed to work on the prin- ciple that the people should be told absclutely nothing. Not until the stremgest kind of pressure was brought to bear were newspaper- men even permitled to view the trial chamber. And even then they were allowed in for only a few minutes—and the presiding Gener- al stopped all proceedings until they had left. That is simply one example out of many that could be cited. There has been much criticism what some authorities regard as the refusal of the Navy to tell the whele truth about Dutch Harbor and the oc- cupation of certain Aleutian Is- lands. And lately, a San Francisco Judge brought serious charges against the ranking Army General in the Far West. Defenders of this General say that, in truth, he has done a first-class job, and they have much evidence to substantiate that. But again, as Time phrased it, “The trduble seemed to lie in tne Amy's “tell the people nothing attitude”. 20 Years Ago Harry Louder, famots Seotch comedian, was guest of the Lan- {caster Rotary Club. A smoke stack at the Wingroft | Stove Works, Middletown, was tained 25,000 bricks. Miss Mary Rohrer, near Erisman’s Church entertained the class of ‘19 at her home. Upon opening a lstter from Miss Leah Becker, Missionary in India, Miss Linnie Greiner, Delta Street, found the dried skin of a large cobra.

Ee fault is by ne means confined tb Army and Navy authorities. = Time and time again, various non-mili- tary officials of the government have made completely conflicting statements about the same subject —as, for instance, in news releases on the oil, rubber and automobile prcblems. Under those circum- stances, it's no wonder that a very is lost in a welter of ccnfusion. The main hope for ironing out this unforunate business lies in El- mer Davis, the cool and canny head of the Office of War Informa- tion. Mr. Davis, it will be recalled, was given his appointment some’ months ago after the other govern- mental .information bureaus had made an almost complete failure of great deal of headway. to reliable veports, he is working stubbeinly, and is determined that cventually the American people shall be promptly and truthfully told everything it is possible to tell them. He is said to have the con- fidence of the President, and he isn’t frightened by either the mili- tary or civil brass hats. In the meantime, Mr. Davis’ OWI is apparently doing the best job possible under the circumstances. On August 8, it issued a statement on the war situation which is hearteningly different from the us- ual Federal publicity releases. The statement is not optimis- tic. Tt isn’t full of high-sounding phrases. Instead, it is simple, fac- iual and impressive. It points out that so far our Allies have done most of the fighting, and that this state of affairs can’t continue in- definitely. On the subject of pro- duction, it say that “we have done pretty well, but ndt well enough.” It observes frankly that “we could lose this war”—and that ‘it’s going to take an infinitely greater effort than we have so far made to win There are obvious difficulties in the enemy, and so must be sup- | pressed, and what can be told the | long sefies of incidents the military Sindy to fhe wii: A authorities have leaned over back- guess that, | ward to an extracrdinary extent in] American refusing to release news which, ac- it.

In the first place they were not starving. In ‘the sec- ond place the ¢argo was seit collect. The story was told in a fetter re- ceived here by Mrs. Kethryn Green- wood from Miss Lucy Christian, a direct descendant of Fletcher Chris- tian, leader of the mutiny on the Bounty. The food arrived on a freighter from Fiji, Miss Christian related. The islanders spent an entire day taking the food by small boat from the ship to shore, a distance of 2% miles, When all was ashore, the captain presented his bill. Pitcairn’s resi- dents couldn’t pay, so they placed the food in storage. Much of it will spoil. Included were 200 sacks of wheat, which cannot be kept long |; in. the muggy climate. There was almost no sweetstuff, which the is- landers want most.
