The subseription lists of three other newspapers, the Mount Joy Stat
and News, the Landisville Vigil and
the Florin News were merged with
the Bulletin, which makes this paper's circulation practically double that
of the average weekly.
Entered at the Postoffice at Mount Joy, Pa. as second-class mail matter
under the Act of March 3, 1879.
THE EDITOR'S VOICE
Rather singular but nowadays
people ave either beefing about gas
or gassing abeut beef.

It seems as though the govern-
ment has set up agencies for every-
thing but hay fever and cold vic-
tims.

One ean 2iways tell whether or

at his comb. If there’s no hair in
it he ain’t.

One thing is certain, there will
never be a shortage of wocl. There-
’Il always be enough of it for seme

HALLOWE'EN
Again comes Mount Joy into the
cutting of Hallowe'en capers, to the
tricks of fastening pins in doorbells
and auto horns, soaping glass, ap-
plying ticktacks to windows, -hoist-
ing a gate or two, throwing baskets
of leaves cn cleanly swept perches,
dressing up in outlandish costumes
and throwing corn. Hallowe'en is
observed in meny different ways in
various communitics, Some children
haven't tried the small-fry racket
of “beggar’s night” with it's forfeit
of popcorn, candy cr pennies. No
necd to speak of the rational custom
of sozping windows, as the young
everywhere krow about this pro-
ceeding. In cases where air is let out
of automobile tires this year, a jail
senterce wouldn't be tso heavy a
penalty for such a trick! There are
probably a number of new Hallow-
@en stunts thet haven't reached us,
but the cold ones ceuldn’t be im-
proved upon. They will be pra-
cticed by our children’s children, no
doubt.

KNOWING THE ANSWERS
This question used to be repeated
here: “Where do people get so much
money to sper:d or autes, big homes
+ clothes, radios, entertainment?” As
a rule we know today where people
are getting so much money to spend.
They used to say: “it will have to
come to an end before long.” That
yemark holds true perhaps today.
With everyone working, getting
higher wages ard generally spend-
ing it as it comes, the matter of
“when the end” can well arise. Be-
ing well-paid and frequently, as war
jobs go, being over-paid, the heme
market flourisheth. Banks notice
rising accounts, but stores notice the
steady buying too. But through all
of this walks the man who knows
the answer. He is saving as much
as possible, is buying War Bends as
often as he can. He knows of no
finer investment, that saves his
neighbor's boy, his government and
his heme and family. That man
probably knows all the answers!

WILL THEY LAST?
Are they going to last forever,
these eritical materials that we are
exhausting as we keep on with war,
supplyirg the needs of Allies as well
as ourself, with these important raw
materials as oil, steel, minerals and
timber? America has heen named
as a country having the “most.” H
we keep drawing so heavily on our
wealth for say four or five years
more of war, we will this rat-
ing. Bauxite, - which is‘ the chief
source of 2luminum, is not able to
withstand more then five years of
the present rate of consumption.
High-grade copper © reserves are
hoped to last up to 15 years and this
is spoken of good grades of > coal.
There® can be a bettom to even a
“most,” and if we dig unceasingly
into our stores, we rob our future
of security. Let us plan wisely, use
sparingly, utilize substitutes if nec-
essary, but let us use foresight in
place of hindsight while we can.

PILING UP TAXES
If you own a home and pay taxes,
or if you are a renter and pay taxes
through the landlord, you have a
tremendous interest today in the
trend toward greater Federal and
municipal ownership of property in
every community. You are interest-
ed for the simple reason that every
piece of such publicly-owned prop-
erty is tax-exempt.
To. illustrate: The Federal gov-
almest 312 million dollars’ werth of
previously taxable properties in San
Francisee, have removed those
properties from the assessment rolls
cf San Francisco and made them
tex exempt. This means that re-
mazinirg property in the city must
carry an added tax burden of $155,-
06) formerly paid by the now ex-
empt properties.
That is just a miner example of
what is taking place throughout the
country. in some states, the amounts
total hundreds of millions of dellars,
as is the case in many localities
having Federal electric plants.
Every Federal and municipal ven-
ture into the field «f business, cuts
three ways: First, it destroys exist-
ing tax-paying industries and sub-
stitutes tax-subsidized properties;
second, it prevents the expansion
eid development of new tax-paying
properties in the field appropriated;
and, third, it adds to the burden of
the taxpeyers by making them liable
fcr tax obligations of the socialized
properties.
Government ‘comes high when it is
extended beyend the function of
governing.
© 00
Exactly as we predicted in these
columns a trifle ever a year ago has
come to pass but on a much larger
scale. Bogtleg liquor was almost
txtinet but the Government kept
adding and adding tax and finally
there was very little liquor for the
consumer so now the country is
overrun with bootleggers. But they
didn’t stop at making liquor but are
also turning out liquor stamps and
faked labels.
The spirit of the average Amori-
car—when he warts a thing he is
persistent and usually gets it—has
cropped cut. Many of them want
their liquor and they're going to get
it.
Thir again, can you blame them?
That same spirit wins bond drives,
’ |makes war equipment, flies planes
successfully and wins wars.

NAVY SALUTE
Tho preceding four months the
Allies had no merchant ship sunk
ir the Atlantic, Winston Churchill
informed the House of Commons,
during September. Since this is the
way we send hundreds of thousands
of trocps overseas, since this is how
we supply ard reinforce these troops
and since it is over this route we
send supplies to our Allies, our
community is keenly interested in
this statement of our victory on the
Atlantic Ocean. The U-bcat menace
has cost us a great loss in life and
vital equipment. We are happy to
salute the Navy on it’s official Day,
with special praise for its’s protec-
toin.
A leng time hz; passed since 1776
when a makeshift fleet of eight con-
verted merchantmen, brigs and
sloops, became the American Navy.
In spite of hardships and limitations,
through the years our Navy grew.
Duiing the first World War, the
United States Navy was not named
in the same class as the British and
German navies. We had not felt in
reed of its portection, perhaps. And
then, far beyond any hopeful dream
of any far-sighted member of the
Continental Congress of 1776, the
navy expanded. It built to an unbe-
lievable size until now the Navy
Department eonneunces that sinee
mid-19490 our U. S. Navy has become
“the greatest sea-air power on
earth.” This means that in spite of
trarsfers, of losses, our country can
replace ships with more speed than
any cther nation. So on this Navy
Day of 1543, the pecple of these
United’ States’ acclaim the men and
the ships, those who man them and
those who build them, that this
powerful weapor for our defense
will not perish but be maintained
for the common welfare, is cur hope.

AS TO THE FOREIGNER
There is concern in some circles
regarding our pelicy following the
war, in permitting the foreigner the
emigration rights to this country, of
what about restraining laws of quot-
as 2nd limited percentages. ' Before
we ertered this war a large number
of people emigrated here from Eu-
rope, refugees secking freedom in a
ernment and the San Francisco

Some cf these forces to migrate have

a lesson to us in offering them un-

munity as friends and neighbors. We
understand that after the war, many
of them who have sought a haven
here will return to their own coun-
try, to take their place again amid
their own prople, to help in the re-
construction cf their land. This na-

Army Commands Writing
History of Current War
The story of the part being played
in this war by each of the war de-
partment’s three commands—the
army ground forces, army air forces
and services of supply—is being re-
corded on. a current basis separately
by each of the eommands.
Each command has historical offi-
¢ers within its units who co-ordinate
their work with that of the command
historical section. For example, the
ordnance department, under the
services of supply, has its own his-
torical officer, etc. The main em-
phasis in each history is to be laid
upon. administration, giving a full
record of the administrative struc-
ture and operation of the major bu-
reaus and offices of the war depart-
ment—not only what the offices did,
but how they performed their du-
ties.
The various histerical officers,
however, are not restricted to the
administrative field. Provided they
perform this primary duty, they are
authorized to undertake such other,
types of history as their command-
ing generals direct.
A guiding principle of all the his-
‘torical sections is to obtain material
while it is still fresh and available,
not only in written records, but in
the minds of those who have created
new fighting organizations at the
same time that they are turning
civilians into soldiers. One of the
principal reasons for the collection
of historical material on a current
basis is to provide an accurate and
dispassionate record of events for
the use of future generations. In
addition to recording the things that
were well done, for future imitation,
the histories will record the errors
as shown by experience for future
avoidance.
Resow Tobacco Beds After
Cold Weather, Expert Says |
Tobacco growers should remove |
the canvas from their beds and
broadcast from one-half to three-
quarters as much seed as was origi-
nally sown after very cold weather,
E. R. Collins of North Carolina State |
college advises.
The canvas should be replaced as
soon as the beds have been resown,
continues Dr. Collins. If young
plants were just coming through the
ground when the heavy freezes oc-
curred, many probably would be
killed or left in such a weakened con-
dition that they will not make
healthy, fast-growing plants.
The soil. was softened by, the
freezes: and the seed sown now:

ly plants. However, if the original
plants were killed or severely weak-
"ened, the new plants from the pres-
ent sowing’ will assure the grower
‘of a good stand of vigorous plants.

Clippers See Duty
Pan American Airways’ giant
transatlantic Clippers, shrouded. in
wartime camouflage as they fill
their important assignments in the
United Nations air transport activi-
ties, in the first year of World War
No. 2 have flown millions of miles
in crossing ‘the Atlantic many hyn-
dreds of times.
1942 passenger traffic, virtually all
of which bore government priority,
exceeded that of the previous year
by about 140 per cent. Reflecting
too, the importance of speedy and
safe transport of vital cargoes were
the impressive increases in the ex-
press and mail loads carried by the
84,000-pound flying boats. The pound-
age of express carried exceeded mil-
lions, compared with a few thousand
pounds carried in 1941, the first year
for north Atlantic air express. The
mail load for 1942 was also in the
millions of pounds and was nearly
double that for 1941.
America Harvests Rubber
The first natural rubber produced
on an industrial scale in the Unit-
ed States has been harvested by the
U. S. Forest service less than a
year after the nation*s guayule rub-
ber program was begun.
The agriculture department an-
nounced that harvesting of the
guayule took place in the Salinas
valley in-California on a government-
owned plantation. It estimated the
initial harvest at about 600 tons of
raw rubber. The harvesting was
done on about 550 acres.
The report disclosed that the
army made an investigation 13 years
ago into the possibilities of the
guayule plant as a rubber resource
in event of war. One of the two
officers making this report was Maj. |
Dwight D. Eisenhower, now a gen-
eral and commander in chief in
North Africa.
Winning Hog House
A “war winner” hog house com-
bining ideas embodied in numerous
small, one-litter field houses has
been designed by E. T. Robbins,
livestock specialist, and Deane G.
Carter. It is six by six feet at the
ground, has three-foot sloping sides,
perpendicular rear end and a slight-
ly . sloping roof covered with one
strip of roll roofing. Strong, tight,
dry and cheap, the house is suit-
able for any farmer to build at home
with native or milled lumber and
available roofing material. It is made
without any floor, since the ground
is warmer in winter and cooler in |
summer than a floor would be.
Economy; More Cuts Made
Japan receives less wool and cot-
ton from Occupied China today than
she did before 1937, and is suffering
| from a drastic shortage of textiles,
i according to the World Economic
Survey of the League of Nations.
The Chinese peasant population has
resisted Japanese exploitation by re-
{ placing the ‘cash crops” of wool
| and cotton required by Japan with
subsistence crops which it consumes
itself.
As exports of silk came to a stand-
still, a campaign was started to di-
vert land from silk to cereal pro-
duction. The 1941 output of silk
{ worm pupae was used for the pro-
duction of oil and fertilizers.
In the latter part of 1941 heavy
'| industries were placed under the di-
rection of official control organiza-
tions for the expansion and concen-
tration of production and for the pool-
ing and allocation of labor, equip-
ment and materials.
In the spring and summer of 1941,
the system of rationing, previously
confined to such eommodities as
sugar, charcoal, and matches, was
extended to a wide range of food-
stuffs include rice, wheat flour,
food oil, meat afd soya bean prod-
ucts. Later in the year, orders were
issued prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of better grade textile arti-
cles and of the remaining durable
consumers’ goods. The government
took over the purchase and distribu-
tion of rice, beef, pork, mutton and
horse meat, limiting the quantities
retained by the peasants for their
own use.
British Farming Spurred
To Offset Import Losses
British food production has in-
creased from 40 per cent of the
| needs to 66 per cent of the needs
at home, largely through the plowing
| up of six million acres of grassland
to grow crops for human food in-
stead of for livestock feed. Live-
stock has been greatly reduced.
This great increase in production
has come about in spite of a 25 per
cent decrease in the usual farm la-
bor, he says, by mechanizing the
method of farming and by formation
of a Women’s land army of more
than 40,000 workers.
Accumulated fertility of the six
million acres of rich grasslands is
now being used to produce cereals
potatoes, and other wanted vege-
tables, Each farm is becoming
more nearly self-supporting, as few-
er high-protein feeds can be pur-
chased for feeding livestock. Use of
all grains for livestock has been cut
Temporary pastures and meadows
are taking the place of the perma-
nent sodded pastures, to provide
livestock feed of high quality, and to
improve fertility of the soil for the
other food crops grown in rotation
British farm production has been
greatly spurred by the importation
of American equipment,
