Do they really believe what they say? If so, they beiter not advertise their panic. We are fighting a war to preserve freedom. We wouldn't he licking the Axis if we would surrender the right to say and do what we please, and raise our families as we please, because someone promised to fill cur stomachs. 90 DESERTERS, WHAT ELSE? The head of the American Legion, in addressing labor leaders, said that a man whe lays down his tools on a war job to strike is just as guilty of an act of treason as a soldier who deserts his post of duty. Labor leaders bitterly assailed this viewpoint, but their arguments are unconvincing, Morally, it is no less treasonzble for a man to throw down his toels which provide a sol- dier with equipment to fight than it is for the soldier to throw down Lis weapons and refuse to fight. Strikes cannot justify desertion of war jobs. In leaving their posts, they are traitors to a common cause, even though they enjoy immunity from punishment such as would be meted out to soldiers who desert. oo 0 AN INVASION .Up in Maine several bears have invaded a village and done damage to the poultry, sheep and pigs of the commurity. The residents have had te establish a night watch and still the bears are getting livestock. They have chased sheep into the town and a man to his doorstep. We then read of a woman in Texas going out on her front porch and finding a wolf asleep in her perch swing! A reader suggests that the two stories might be credited to the animals suffering along with us in the meat rationing and that they have their own way of running a black market. Bat with a shot gun handy the bear is running a pretty big chance, for he would save some red coupons in steaks. War is no respector of the animzl kingdom, man or beast. AN EQUAL INCOME? Here are a few facts to think about when you hear someone speak of equalizing the income eof the whicle world, in the peace that is to of this country is 36 per cent of the TOTAL income of the entire world. Although we have only six per cent of the population of the world, we have 30 per cent of all the nation’s ; : us figure on an would follow that distribute to the cent of her income, re- c It would re- to 5-6 of the re- =, THE EDITOR’S VOICE FACING FACTS There has been a change of policy with regard to the showing of pic- tures in both press and films of fa- of planes, ships and tanks. It was formerly felt that pictures of our dead and injured wouldn't help the public merale, that it was unneeces- sary to pour on them the fact that losses can be suffered by beth sides. But new the policy is being given an about face. Due to too many Americans feeling that the war is about ever that we are just “clean- ing up,” women are guiting vital de- ferse jobs, excuses are made for not buying bonds, production is slowing up. Sx our government feels we need some of the herrible details to remind us, to keep us remembering that the war is far from over. We have ster: pictures of our advances, can we take our rewerses, the pic- turcs of boys on stretchers in jun- gles, paratrocpers lying in groups as they were mowed down, our ships sinking. It is true, it has been a fact. Here we are working to put an end to the pictures by working to end the war. eo 0 INDIAN SUMMER AGAIN Folks here still find time to put faith the yearly argument and fol- low it with active debate, as to when ard if en Jrdian Summer! There are always sides, those who claim it has been in October, those whe awszit it 2lways in November, those who insist it fell in September this yeas, and these who think it’s a silly belief in the first place. But a non-believer must be told again the Indian story and of how the red men started the whole business in the first place. At least, Indian Sum- mer bears his name and we look to kim for the reason. It goes that the good, thrifty Indians tock advantage of the fine days in early autumn and kept busy harvesting their craps for the leng winter to come. But the lazy Indians who would rather go fishing, hunting and sleep, insisted that celd weather would wait for them. According to the folk legend, the Great Spirit decided to show these indolent fellows a thing er iwo, and had Jack Frost touch the earth to awcken them. How they bewailed ard heseeched for another charce to gather theis crops, and the generous Great Spirit sent them their opportunity in Indian Summer. But this is not what the Indian him- self calls it, for he speaks of the days as “the lazy ‘farmer’s chance.” Not only those Indians were putting off until finer weather ahead. Even today you will find folks putting off the garnering of crops until the very last. They still depend upor Indian Summer to see them through. But the wise farmer, the one who stud- ies weather ard his fields, knows that you can’t depend upon this sea- son to come at zany certain time, if come it does. Killing frosts won't hold back for an Indian legend, you know. nt GI rr Deeds Recorded J. H. Hornafius’ heirs, Mt.

Fauléovier, Evangelist, : Enlisting Idle Acres For Food Production New Goals Demand Full Use of Available Land Getting idle acres back on the job is ‘high on the list of “must” activi- ties for the farmer-committeemen of the Agricultural Adjustment agency during 43. Stacy With production goals adding up to a tremendous total in food and fiber, maximum use of all agricul- tural resources will have to he em- ployed to meet minimum demands for farm products, Secretary of Ag-: nounced. Land as well as machin- ery, labor and other tocls of produc- tion is included in the department of agriculture’s program. As with other aspects of the Triple-A farm plan, each com- munity will do the job of enlist- ing its own idle acres and idle farms for duty on the food front. Secretary Wickard has requested that Triple-A cornmitteemen, both county and community, locate avail- able tracts of land in their districts which are not now producing, and. take whatever steps are feasible to put them into useful activity. Assistance will be given by the county USDA war. boards: where cases cannot be taken care of lo- cally, and these boards have also been instructed to be prepared to help wherever possible in locating operators, in financing operations if Modern Bo-Peeps Two girls are pictured inside the sheep pen at the University of New Hampshire, where they are taking a war course in agriculture and hus- bandry. required through available loan pro- grams, or in helping the operator obtain labor or machinery should these items stand in the way of any land use. Farmers have also been urged through Triple-A to rent to other op- erators acreage they themselves cannot put to work. Persons capa- ble of managing a small farm, or of taking on additional cropland, will in turn be able to rent acreage from operators who already have under cultivation all they can pos- sibly handle but who wish to see every square yard of their land in production. Grow Some Crops Seed; | Country Will Need It If you have a field to spare, put it to work for Uncle Sam and grow seed of grasses and legumes on it. The nation needs such seed for mili- tary, lend-lease and domestic use, and will pay you fair prices for what you produce. This suggestion is made by C. 8. Garrison, assistant extension agron- omist at Rutgers university, in pointing out that the department of agriculture has developed a price support program on 20 kinds of hay and pasture seeds as an incentive to production. “The list includes seeds of crops such as alfalfa, timothy, orchard grass, meadow fescue and red, sweet and alsike clover,” Garrison says. ‘And where a farmer has a field which could be harvested for seed, this program will guarantee him a minimum price, as well as the satisfaction of hélping to insure LANDISVILLE Entertained Classmates Mrs. John M.
