FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18,1942 YOUTH HAS A RIGHT TO BE CONCERNED The youth of today out of high*school is probably more pur- •plexed than some, of his elders when he plans his future with the draft staring him in the face and press reports daily about the 18 and 20 year-olds being called for the armed service. One month he has heard one story as to his status and the second month another and so on month after month while the war de­ partment or selective headquarters continue to confuse old and young as to the draft, Months ago boys out of high school and desirous of enter­ ing the army were told they could enlist in the reserve and con­ tinue their studies to complete a course in three years, Thous­ ands of young men took official Washington at their word as did^their elders. The whole nation was startled last Friday when the radio informed the populace that “Grandpa” Stimson, who is supposed to direct the war department, revoked the for­ mer order and stated the young men would be subject to in­ duction .soon. This probably disturbed college and university officials to a greater degree than it did the youth of draft age. That such an announcement was a surprise all dinit. We must also admit the revoking of' this order is just in line with the jungled mesa the whole ^ar-program is in as well as the rub­ ber and price-fixing bureaus. The war program is not even on a decent or sensible “mail-order” plan, even if Donald Nelson is a^Sears-Roebuck graduate.; The Ohio State Journal in commenting on the draft situa­ tion has taken the trouble to hunt out the various statements is­ sued at various times by Gen. Hershey.about the draft. What the Journal editor finds is worth considering. It is no wonder Radio Commentator Kaltonbonv, stated that nothing would cause us to loose the war at home quicker than by playing fast and loose with.the American people. The State Journal quotes. General Hershey as follows: NoV. 15,1941, before Pearl Harbor: Gen. .Hershey said it might he necessary to draw on those “deferred because of /dependents." Dec, 15, after we were in it as a result of Pearl Harbor: “We must not take every man . . . no matter how many dependents he has." Jan. 6, 1942: “Men with dependents will continue to be drafted un­ til the need becomes greater.’’ Jan. 16; "The army can be boosted, Hershey said, to 3,600,000 without calling up men with dependents." Feb. 4 :'Legislation is in prospect, said the draft director, to “re­ lease for induction many . . now deferred on grounds of depend­ ency." ■ " . : Mar. 20 : “No dependents, but the importance of the jobs they hold, . will determine deferment, said the general. • Mar. 27: “Every able-bodied man,— young— will eventually enter the war.” Y . May. 15: “The government has no intention of breaking up ‘estab­ lished families,” Hershey advised. s May 26: “Those with ‘genuine dependents are reasonably safe from call in 1942, at least, the nation was. told. June 12: “Fringes of so-called, dependency will.be touched within seven or eight months,” Gen. Hershey said. June 14 “Draft boards were directed to postpone the induction of married men. , Aug,. 19 Gen. .Hershey said the drafting of married men will come in the “not distant future.” Aug. 22: “Men with dependent wives might well ‘begin to make aiTangements” for service, the general said. , Sept. 2:- “Gen. Hershey sent outian order which said married men would get an indefinite draft delay;” Sept. 14: The draft director predicted that manpower needs of the war would result in previously deferred husband with dependents and war production workers being called to arms. Better not make arrangements too far in the future. Mind Wendell Will- kie is on a Roosevelt mission-.to Rus­ sia to conflab with Stalin., He may come home with some new-untried Communistic ideas wliich the New Deal dictator will want to to force on the public through his“price con­ trol or rationing system, We cannot afford to let Stalin and Hitler have the edge on us when it comes to dic­ tation and adopting one-man made laws. fears the soldier vote. To hold off such legislation southern congressmen j wrangle over * poll tax collected in j ei^hfc southern states. The longer the fuss, the more the New Deal is j pleased. But what about Dad and’ Mother, Sister and brother who can : vote? The Sprinfield Sun; Tuesday, says storage space is to he taken over in that city by the New Deal to store new and used automobile tires as they are taken, over by the govern­ ment. The story does not say when the government will confiscate used tires to keep the automobiles off the road. It must be admitted things look good for making one Roosevelt prom­ ise a certainty when he said months ago the farmer would have to work longer and harder hours and for less to share his part of patriotism, By rationing gasoline and grabbing tires the farmer can be kept on the farm filling the presidential order. But no tires will be grabbed ■before the November election. , THE NEW DEAL FALTERS IN WAR The significance of-Preaident Roosevelt’s Labor Day ad­ dress and message to congress last week will be lost unless the American public notices that in calling, upon the nation- to get tough and win this war he practically abandoned his New Deal philosophy of more money and less work for everybody. With considerable reluctance ,and some beating about the bush, he indirectly admitted that the class struggle he has stirred up for the last decade had better come to an end.unless all the people of this democratic country are going down to defeat to gether. . Although Mr. Roosevelt tried to shift the blame for this lamentable state of affairs to congress, he knows full well that •he broiught it about deliberately.. Until he came along to legis­ late prosperity by ladling out treasury funds to the farmers and by handing out bigger and better gains to labor, most Amer­ icans thought they owed their country as much as it owed them. To be sure, every man wanted to.get ahead through his own ef forts and every economic class wanted a fair deal for itself. But Mr. Roosevelt, more than any. other president, encouraged the workers to grab everything they could for themselves and en­ couraged farmers to do likewise. Now we have never believed that any considerable num­ ber of our workers or farmers would put their own selfish in­ terests above the common good. Certainly in time of Jvar they are willing to make the sacrifices upon which their own free­ dom depends. But their own leaders, trained to grab every­ thing they can for their economic group in the New Deal way, have been slow to change their habits. Why even*Secretary o f Agriculture Wickard, a few months ago, was leading the agi­ tation against control of farm prices, the very thing for which Mr. Roosevelt* who appointed him to office, so bluntly denounc­ ed congress, Apparently it took the emergency of the greatest war in history to show Mr. Roosevelt that the policies he has been pur­ suing for the last 10 years are fatal to democracy. When he said that he would have to ride roughshod over the’Constitu­ tion and usurp the powei’s of congress if the farm bloc and the labor bloc did not stop pulling the country apart and holding up the war effort, he was admitting that our democratic system cannot function unless the representatives of the American peo­ ple place the common good above their special economic inter­ ests. Yet he is the man who has encouraged that gimme-gim- me-gimme attitude on the part of every economic group be­ cause his political power was based on bloc domination. With characteristic adroitness Mr. Roosevelt has sought to gloss over the events which led up to a situation which threat ens the war effort by taking the lead in demanding that it be corrected. But if the class struggle is to be abandoned entirely as the united American people fight together for victory, they must not overlook the fact that Mr. Roosevelt got them into the difficulties which he now deplores. Our farmers Would never have thought of putting 110 per cent parity above the nation’s security unless the New Deal had taught them to do so. Our workers would never have thought of limiting their war effort to 40 hours a week Unless the New Deal had taught them to dr so. And before Mr, Roosevelt rides roughshod over the Consti­ tution and usurps the powers of congress and discards the dem­ ocratic system we are fighting to save, he might at least give free Americans a chance to prove that democracy can work even in time of war if it is freed from the corruption of politi- cans who have sought votes for themselves by setting class a- against class. The farmers of America, the workers of Amer­ ica, the business men of America, the housewives of America the children of America will stand together' for their common cause. They will do so the better now that Mr. Roosevelt has seen the error of his ways and stopped trying to split them asunder, • -—Dayton Journal The Baruch rubber report provides for gasoline rationing. It took a sharp stab a t the manner m ■which Roosevelt, Henderson and Nelson had engineered the synthetic rubber sit­ uation. A lot of ground wps covered in the report, and the use-o f. farm grain for synthetic rubber was men­ tioned but we notice no open demand for its extensive use was recommend­ ed. Wall Street , and the New Deal are against the use of grain for rub­ ber. 'When the U. S. declared an econom­ ic war on Japan in behalf of England, that was the day that opened the way for the Pearl Harbor attack. Re fusing to permit the sale of Japanese silk in this country set the war lords a flame in the land of the rising sun. Who was it that left the American motorist stranded for rubber and tin ? Why was not both of these materials stored on this side of the . Pacific ? These are some; of the questions an swered by the voters in the Maine election, Tuesday. Ohio and a lot of midwestem s ta te s ' will answer likewise next November. The American people are to get a lot of rationing after the November election.- Weeks ago .Henderson stat­ ed ration books for all purposes, gas­ oline, fuel, •oil, clothing, meats, or what ever necessary were already printed and ready for distribution when necessary. Now we are told, as if the public had forgotten, that we cannot have gasoline rationing until the last of November, to have time to print the books. The same for fuel oil. 'Meat rationing is set for November also. There will be no rationing until after the election. By that time so many states wilt have recorded their appraisal of the New Deal, itis hard to forecast what the enraged temper of the White House would order. Tonight a handful of farmers will gather to vote continuance of the AAA, I t will not be a majority farm; er vote,only a majority of the minor­ ity that profit by the political setup. The gTeat majority of farmers ig­ nored the vote one year ago and wilt do so again. There will be a priority list of -eligiblea permitted to vote. Hundreds will be denied a vote just like the southern negro who must explain a section of the constitution to the satisfaction of a white judge before he can vote and in addition nay a poll tax. Both votes arc under the same rules Mussolini enforced on his subjects when he had those mil­ lion majorities a few years ago. Like Hitler and Stalin, elections in the dictator countries are non-essential, The time may not be fa r away when by a stroke of the pen even AAA lections will not be considered worth­ while, A Roosevelt might issue a decree retaining the AAA officials, and sent them out as missionaries to move to you that ten cent hogs will bring you economic salvation while 14c hogs Would condemn you to an ‘conomic hell. And they say we are fighting to preserve a world dem­ ocracy! The millenium will have been reached when you see followers of the \AA declining to accept 14c for hogs to save the nation from inflation, Who wants economic salvation under 10c hogs ? ? ? Speak out long and loud. Even Roosevelt sold govern­ ment papers out of the White House to a press ’syndicate for a cool $100, 000 (in the name of sweet charity). A Xenia merchant when questioned Monday aa to his opinion of the gas. J oline rationing and farm control price j bill stated that he exp&Sted the same J thing to happen to •'Xenia that has happened to hundreds of towns and cities in states along the seaboard. Relating what an eastern graveling man that called on Xenia merchants had to say would leave not a very bright picture for retail-trade. In the first place he said many men in the gasoline business .would have to get- out of business. This means some one is the looser and it has to be the mer­ chant. As to farm price contr 1 he said, you know we have some bv, iiness men that' are foolish to think that tb | controlled farm prices are necessary, Just how lie expects the farmer to purchase furniture, clothing, shoes, farm suppliesand lumber on control­ led gross income I am at a loss to know. What will happen will be an­ other depression, much worse than the' one that was only wiped out by the present world war. The New Deal is hearing from the populace about tin cans fop beer but no tin for other necessities. Now we read that beer' bottle metal eaps are to he made from salvaged tin cans. Reports are it takes 100,000 tons of metal caps for beer and pop" bottles annually, ' . The voters in Maine decided they would take their chances by “swap­ ping horses -in midstream” and the whole state swept every Republican into office. The New,Deal cry of iso­ lationist and support the war fell flat. Even Democratic cities and counties turned down he Roosevelt brand of Communism. Maine voters evidently had never forgotten the, /Democratic campaign slogan "He Kept Us Out of War”. Last week down in Louisanna the old Huey Long dynasty came to life, when the voters nominated Sen. Ellender for another term over the handpicked New Deal candidate. The southerners evidently preferred the Huey Long brand of government con­ trol to the Roosevelt-Russia brand of Communism. There is some criticism of congress on various issues. The cry of isola­ tion is to cover up New Deal squand­ ering; the war effort is another blind and many full for it and will continue until they get the new income tax bill after the first of the year, but the election will be over, by that time. Congress may be guilty of many un­ named acts. First the Democratic New I)eal lias the majority and must carry responsibility of criticism. The criticism that sticks and stinks the . mot is the delegation of congression­ al power to the President. Congress abdocated and it makes no difference who voted for it, the public will in the end heap coals of fire on the majority just os was done following that fam­ ous “He Kept Us Out of War,” The average citizen must face all. this on the retupn of the boys from the bat­ tle fields of the world.

BOCKLETT ] SUPPLY CO. | XENIA, OHIO | Cotton Qffers Coat * Fabric Surprises Dark Furs Combined With Light Colors. ’ "vBy CHERIE NICHOLAS „ There should be at least two coats in every well-equipped wardrobe this fall and winter, a knockabout sports or casual coat and a smartly styled, dress coat, to- wear over the one-piece frocks that are being played up as a change from the popular jacket-dress versions. Some of the very newest casual coats look quite like men’s over­ coats. These resolve into two types —a straight, broad-shouldered, box silhouette and the very stunning of­ ficer type that has deep, notched revers and double-breasted button fastening. Then there are the new reefers made of gorgeous huge patterned plaid woolens. These are simply stunning, and to see them is to covet them for your very own. Among the surprises; in store are the handsome coats, made of lux­ urious looking cotton-pile, fabric or cotton fleeces. College-bound girls will do well to look into this matter of coats fashioned of cottons that are the “last word” in coating fab­ rics. Take note of their bright quilt­ ed linings, for these add not only warmth but glamour galore. ’ ■ ■ Fur revers of flat pelts give ac­ cent to pale fleeces this season. That is welcome news, for there is some­ thing tremendously effective about light coats accented with dark, sleek furs. One of the handsomest num­ bers in the new coat collections is a knee-length boxy model in Mexican gold fleece with huge round buttons of tortoise shell. The notched revers are in dark brown Persian. Then again, a natural beige half-belted overcoat takes on dark brown Alas­ kan seal for the notched revers. As to dress coats, a most impor­ tant thing to be said about them is that they are very slimming, mak­ ing the silhouette their major theme. Tire wrap-around self-tie types are leaders. These are'fashioned of fine all wools or fabric blends that are taking the place of priority-con­ trolled materials. The new full-skirted coats of Rus­ sian inspiration are lavished with fur, and they are styled dramatical­ ly in the cossack manner. Smart indeed are the new coats made of wide-waie corduroy. And all-fur coafs are a story in themselves. Grandpa Stimson of the War De­ partment says there will be no votes cast by American boys 6n foreign fiells. That will tickle the White House. In fact no one knows wheth­ er the boys on American soil in the U. S. Will get to vote.

Nylon fleece gloves are new in the fashion field.' ‘ Side-wrapped coat dresses sound a new note for fall. Thrilling color sets the pace in sweater selling this season. Bright handbags and novelty jewelry animate fall costumes. Quilted pajamas, quilted jack­ ets, quilted- anything, is the latest fashion trend. Corduroy, velveteen, gabar­ dine, faille and crepe tell much of the fabric story. Sleek furs like Alaska seal, beaver and nutria will be much in evidence this season. • The family is still the fundamental unit ef society, and is therefore of more importance than the church, the state, or the social order of which it is a vital part. Every force which encourages the breakdown of the sacred relationships of the home and family is set for the destruction, of society itself. Men have too often chosen to go the way of the flesh, and therefore they have disregarded God’s plan and purpose. But marriage is just as sacred as ever in His sight; thft home is to be kept for Him; and. brotherly love still finds a high place among the virtues of real men. Today’s lesson is a continuation of the 'story <5f Joseph’s Ufe. As we study it we must ,bear in mind Jos.-. 1 eph’s dealings with his brethren, , who as yet did not recognize him ! as the one they , had sold into cap­ tivity. He was bringing them kind­ ly but definitely to the point of real repentance, so that he could show himself gracious to them, . To do so he had brought disaster upon them. Being happily on their, way homeward with a new supply , of food, they were overtaken and proved to be thieves, and Benja­ min, the beloved of their father Ja­ cob, stood condemned by their own words, to death. id that crisis the mouths of the others seemed closed, but Judah, who had really saved Joseph’s/ life (Gen. 37:26, 27)i and who had ap­ parently come to himself as a man of essential goodness, pleaded for Benjamin’s life. That plea present­ ed a truly sacrificial brotherly love, as he manifested I. Courage (v, 18). . Easy rests the yoke of family life as long as all is joyful and prosper­ ous. But when adversity strikes; when sorrow comes, or sickness, or ; sin, then the true test of devotion is at hand. It was a brave and manly thing for Judah to stand before the one whom he knew only as the man who was “even as •Pharaoh.” The circumstances were all against him- He expected the flaming anger of the offended ruler. His brethren had collapsed in despair. It was one of those dark hours which come to every family when someone must demonstrate true love by being strong-hearted and •steady. II. Intelligence (w . 19-29). Crises call for more than a cheer­ ful smile or *an encouraging word, much as they may mean in such an hour. We must be prepared by our close contact with our loved ones to speak and act with vigor and .as­ surance. . Judah’s plea is a masterpiece of argumentation and appeal, demon­ strating that he was not only well- informed about his family and its problems, but ready to use his knowledge skillfully and effectively.. III. Self-Denial (w . 30-33). One step deeper goes the devotion of this man toT his father and his brother. He had done no wrong that merited punishment, but evidently his brother Benjamin had been guilty. Had he been of the'spirit of Cain he would have said, “Am I my brother's keeper?” and let him answer for himself. Why should Ju­ dah suffer for another? Why should he allow himself to be imprisoned in a strange land- to save his father from sorrow and his brother from what seemed to be the just reward for his deeds? Thus reasons the man of the. world, but such is not the language' of the true brother, who says, “Let thy servant abide instead of the lad as a bondman.” IV. Love (v. 34). Love for father and brother un­ derlies all of the courage, conviction and self-sacrifice of a man like Ju­ dah, In his younger years, and possibly under the influence, of his brothers, he had failed in that re­ spect, but now his real devotion to his brother was evident. That affection was a real, power­ ful, and beautiful thing, and yet it is but a faint prefiguring of the af­ fection of the One who “sticketh closer than a brother,” who “though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich” (Prov. 18 i 24; II Cot. 8:9), Let us improve the opportunity to review qur relations with our Jown family, to determine whether there is aught that we in intelligent and courageous self-sacrifice should do for our own. ytMmtniiiitiiiHiiiiijiiiitiiiiimiiimmiiijiiiiiSimiiiimiiimm I FARMS FOR SALE AND § f FARM LOANS § ,. sg | Wo have many good farms for sale I | on easy terms.
