FWday, June 12, 1942 ‘YOUR FLAG AND MY FLAG” This being designated as Flag Week, with the annual observance of that event as of June 14th, local citizens should feel and observe the day with just &bit more reverv ence than might be expected other than from the patriotic standpoint. The American flag or the ' ‘Stars and Stripes” has a 1 glorious history dating hack to the early days of the Revo- ] I lutjon when its purpose was conceived. It has flown over \ | a ijumber of Avars and has cheered soldiers, sailors and" ] - = marines to victory and never yet has been hauled down j | in disgrace or defeat. It is the hope o f every true patriotic s I American citizen that she may yet float in the breezes in | | the years to come with unstained honor. - | | ’ The week and the coming, “ Flag Day” we observe | I has a sentimental appeal to local citizens for it was a 1 1 former Oedarvillian, the late Wilbur D. Nisbet, that gave f I the nation that’ patriotic utterance in the •well known J I “ Your Flag and My Flag.” that has won a warm spot in | I the her t o f every American citizen. I 1 All honor-to the “ Stars and Stripes” and the memory | 1 of the composer of “ Your Flag and My Flag.” | I * ' ' * | GALLUP FINDS WHERE BALANCE SHEET IS The balance wheel'of America we think is In the smaller towns and cities and on the farms of the country. Old man Gallup took a poll recently and discovered what we have long known, that the small town intelligence In matters’ o f govern­ ment greatly exceeds that of the larger cities. Gallup found that where 2j£% of the voters in the cities over 500,000 knew who their Congressman was, on the farms the percentage rose to 71. , Comes to mind a story that our old mid-western newspaper friend, Wright A. Patterson, once told .us-^of a visit of Ameri­ can journalists to London just about the time x>f the armistice in 1918. Lord Balfour came to the hotel to greet the American newspapermen. Outside the hotel, the crowds were still cele­ brating the thrill of the armistice. . “ The English people and people everywhere are crazed with joy at the end of the war,” said Balfour. “ They do not realize that the world is facing a more serious situation than it has faced at any time during the war. Civilization itself is in the balance, and if it is preserved there is one class of people in one place who will eventually be the bulwark for its preser­ vation. They are’ thepeople of your American country towns and farms*. They are the safest, sanest, most dependable class in the world today, and whatever may happen during the fu­ ture to our present civilization, they in time will restore it, not only to America, bilt to the other nations o f the world.” How true those words are even today—when the men and. women of America, living outside of the teeming, crowded cities are. being called upon to keep the United States straight on the road—true to its ideals and honest in its purpose for yietory.—Pathfinder.

By a leak from one of the New Deal boards in Washington business men of the nation were given advance'news of a new string that was to be tied around the neck of management to give the Washington Communists control of; the largest retail outlet as well as the smallest. . . . The word had no sooner reached business organizations un­ til the mails-and wires were hot. With protests. Congressmen and Senators were appealed to for aid but the legislative branch of the government seldom knows from day to day what to expect in the way of orders to vote for this and that, as a “must” from . the White House. • , . , The plan had been set out to force every merchant, large and small, to take inventory as of July 1st, 1942. If you had more stock of any one linp or all lines than the New Dealers thought you had a right to have, you .would be ordered to return all- but ihree-thirteenths back to the manufacturers or whole­ salers, Imagine a department store trying to do business with r. stock less than one-fourth of what it usually carried. When the news leaked out it was not long until certain New Dealers were swamped with protests and the following day out came a statement that someone had mislead the businessmen. Such was ' ot the case. The usual NSw Deal denial failed in this case and Washington never pressed to learn the why and where of the-leak in the news. There is a possibility yet that Washington will use its war powers to pry into private business, The idea of forcing busi­ ness to return paid-for merchandise to the manufacturer to suit the whims of our new brand o f dictators, would upset the peace and quietude of any set of our national citizenship. ' The news no sooner reached Greene county until the lum­ ber interests were up in arms and this reached out to tljp en­ tire nation. If a local lumber dealer had a car load of- western shingles and Washington said the dealer had twice as much as should be carried, it would be a case of shipping the excess back to the west coast—at the expense of the local dealer even after he had paid for the shingles. Every line of retail business was to get a taste of the Stalin Communistic idea of business. While the new plan may he dead for the present, business should not go to sleep. Some other method will be adopted to force dicta­ tion on all American business just as the present laws provide that the federal government can compel each and every farmer to plant just what the government orders when the dictators decide to exercise their^power.

With a five pound limit on sugar, canning in the home is to be a small duty this year even though housewives were begged to do more canning by the paid representatives of the New Deal. There is now i large crop o f cherries and it is es timatod much o f it will go to waste as only a small amount can he canned without sugar and the canned goods cannot foeused for pies without sugar. All this -comes in the face of the fact there is more sugar in the coun­ try"than we had one year ago but the New Deal sponsors of regimentation, Mrs. Roosevelt and Claude Wickard in -speeches weekB ago-suggested ra­ tioning and then began the "storing of sugar." The same thing Will hap­ pen to coffee, tea and cocoa, now that they are soon to be given the Russian Communism baptism. Don’t stqre much coffee. ’ If you do you will be out in the end for it will not keep Even packed coffee in tins will hold up just so long. — — -; ■V One of our readers complains that limitation of one pound of coffee puts i large family on short ration while ;he neighboring family may only com­ prise two persons. The same com­ plaint is heard about gasoline ration­ ing. The. Communistic experiment be­ ing forced on the nation is the name if the war, may give the public some idea of what to expect in the future, .var or no war with the New Deal. Two other items to bo rationed as mentioned in the dispatches from Washington are clothing and5pork,' Forbidding the eating of pork on the -arm on-certain-days and-the-sale- of- it by retailers on certain days might be a good object lessen to our farmer friends that have been flying the Com­ munism banner with the AAA initials. There is no shortage of gasoline and •here is no shortage o f sugar. Any .vhclesale dealer"'wi!l tell you he can jet all the sugar he wants or is per- nitted to have to' supply the retail •.rade. No one seems to. know how much rubber is in storage. The New Deal trade agreement with England jangled the American supply from the Pacific. American rubber con­ sumers were sold down the river in order that English capitalists could control the world rubber market. Our supply in -storage in the mid-PaCific evidently looked good to England but it looked better to Japan when she captured1some of our possessions. With a Dayton rubber concern look­ ing for storage space in adjacent towns to.store automobile tires now being"made it looks as if FDR would not have to make much of an investi­ gation to find out how much rubber we have and where it is. Down in Oklahoma the Democrats have in Gov, Phillips an official that is virtually defying the war depart­ ment. The governor is.trying to clean, up the immoral situation around army camps but is said to be hindered by official Washington. He is trying to stop the hauling o f liquor over high­ ways to army camps. The war de­ partment is resisting on the ground there are no state rights in war time and no state can control what goes on, on a government reservation. With Washington ticking this claim the re­ ports some boys write home to their parents as to moraL conditions makes one wonder if we can fight the World and the devil at the same time in the name of ‘ *D-E-M-0-C-R-AJ3-Y’ mlTr,mTt am nig th# im tgim i t his liY*d aw) 4M to th# belief that #*r form o f g#voriMM#iit m a rapufolie hoi KMUKsan in—m a t u j 1 privileges such m or other nation bad •v*r known, avm England under the rule o f crowned heads in th# name of democracy. Newspaper atari## of the extent of bootlegring o f gasoline in the eastern states, best known as the quarter where gasoline ration* is regulated by the New Deal, brings out stories by traveling salesmen as well as news­ papers which proves that bootlegging .of gasoline is an easy matter and that most o f the Democratic states have challenged the New Deal to do any- thing about it.

The salesman made his southeastern trip and never had to use one gallon of his extra gas. When his regular tank*"showed less thap fifty per cent full he would pull up to a station and ask for his three gallons. .The attendant looking at the Ohio license .says- "Why not fill it up?” The’ salesman said, “Is that possible?” The attendant said, “You can have all you want—we don’t give a ----- what them cranks in Washing­ ton want.” The salesman said fill her up. And this happened in a genu­ ine West Virginia Nejv Deal controlled state. The Cleveland "Plain Dealer,-Demo­ cratic and usually a 100 per cent New Dealer, says about the gasoline ra­ tioning: "The system has. bogged down because there is no relationship between the cards carried by motor­ ists anil the amount of gasoline deal­ ers sell. This fact the system is be­ ing revamped July 1 throughout the eastern-states under-gas-rations, has reused many a dealer to let the bars down completely and do a good turn for his customers by not punching their cards.” Other southern papers in the gas ration Section are poking fun. at the New Deal order and in­ timate ignoring the New Deal rule unless the whole nation is given a dose of the same, medicine. There is no shortage o f gasoline -and the gov­ ernment does .not make such a claim, the exeuse is to save Tiibber, yet no one has nerve to risk votes at the coming election to issue * flat order holding the motorist down to three gallons In the Midwestern states. The experience of the Democratic candi­ dates for congress in the recent pri­ maries where, they met defeat is cost­ ing the. New Deal much support in recognized Democratic territory. We are amused as we scan foe Democratic papers in Ohio, as to how little they have to say about either sugar or gasoline rationing. The public has a right to, know whether they approve of such rationing in the admitted face of a surplus of both gasoline and su­ gar in the country. Silence is admit­ tance, that the average citizen and hi# interest stand second to anything the New Dealers order in the Stalin re­ construction period.

Bricker was given a vote of Confidence it was in the special election held in Colum­ bus Tuesday when electors voted on a requested 2.5 mill extra tax levy on all city property. The vote was 25,- 5 against the levy while only 5,985 voted for the levy. It Was a blow to the Republican administration of May­ or Green who wag elected on a plat­ form of “Keep Columbus out of the RED by electing GREEN.” For months most o f the city administra­ tions, notably Cleveland, Akron, Day*, ton, and others controlled by tho Democrats have begged and threaten­ ed Governor Bricker to divide a state- treasury surplus ho had built up knowing what the w§p would force on the state. These Democratic officials having had a taste of the New Dean spendthrift pudding in most ev­ ery city have had local tax levies Vot­ ed down time after time just as did the voters in Columbus on Tuesday. The vote was a vote of confidence In Governor Bricker’# claim that We needed the state surplus as a cushion for old age pensions and the schools when we once felt the heavy hand of j the war on all tax divisions.
