FRIDAY, MARCH 5 ,1943 “ GIVE TWICE AS MUCH AS YOU DID BEFORE" The above caption is the slogan.for the Red Cross War campaign which opened Monday and continues all over the nation until March 81. The Red Cross has been the nation s great mercy organization that has functioned m peace time as well as war time. It cannot carry on its. work at home and on the many battle fronts administering to the sick, injured and the dying without medical and hospital materials and doctors ‘^and nurses, W ith several million o f pur men a t the front. or on foreign soil and the thousands in camps at home, the work ot this organization is more important than ever, ■ The R ed Cross is more important to parents this timejtm ever before fo r there were never so many o f our sons, or) other related men of our families giving their strength and life fo r the nation’s cause in this dread hour., .Tw ice as much is a very small sums in these days o f war profits. There are some that have not and will not enjoy war profits. Their sympathies are with the cause no boubt. There are thousands who can and we urge that they more than double their subscnptionstothemuch needed cause. Greene county is asked to raise $25,000 which will not be an average o f $10 fo r each drafter man to leave the county. W e can meet the goal so be ready fo r the solicitor.

The bad went through with the *There are so many on the New Deal favorite list fo r the everyday items fo r the table, that little is left fo r the populace outside o f the official family. Think o f the scores o f private dining rooms in the -cabinet office buildings, the different bu­ reaus and boards, operated at the expense o f the millions o f income tax payers, all eating daily as usual while the home fo lks are. to be allowed points under dictatorship. The congressman and senator from the. rural districts over the nation, many o f whom own and operate, farms, are more fortunate. They have their own wheat flour, smoked meats, poultry, eggs> fruits and vegetables. The city New Deal legis­ lator will not eat much that might come from the city park acerage or from the AAA Agricultural paper farmers who sit at desks in Washington to do the fanning and planning. How - easy these city chaps found it to. give away their constitution rights as legislators and they themselves become victims o f a dictatorial government. They learn fo r the first time that the table owned by the people o f the nation in the White House, which was furnished by the government and considered fo r more than 150 years as the home o f our presidents, is not a home under the dictatoria edicts fo r food rationing but an “ INSTITUTION” not subjec to fo od control. It might not be just polite to say but it will be heard in many quarters over the country, that a little hunger f o r the city New Deal national legislator will do him some gooc and result in a return to constitutional government in the good old American way. “A ” CARD FOR ALCOHOL AND GASOLINE Reports have been current fo r months! that fa r too many conferences on governmental affairs in Washington by New Dealers have taken place around a table where the only dec­ oration was-a bottle o f Scotch or Bourbon or both. Naturally such conferences concerned governmental affairs or they would not take place in Washington. Most people are ready to admi some o f the blunder inflicted on the populace and the manner in which the income - taxpayer’s .money is wasted must have come from the brain o f a simpleton, a fanatic or one who had his “ morale” upheld by the force o f Demon Rum. Not so long ago one o f the prominent New Dealers stated that it was neces sary to have beer and intoxicants in army camps to keep up what he termed “ morale” . ,■ ■ ■ . T o give the average reader a better picture o f the Wash ington situation, ninety-nine per cent o f the 150,000 govern ment employees in that.city, have been put on the payroll since , the New Deal reformation or revolution was first started fo l lowing the arrival o f the Squire from Hyde Park. There might b e some basis fo r the current reports about reports o f government regulations coming from the “ table that soon, begin? to move in a circle when the Bourbon begins to flow . ■Conditions in the Capital City must have a background that would keep some reports alive that are common on the street, grocery or counting house. We read where Washington wins all honors as a city consuming more hard liquor per capita than any state in the Union. To back that statement we reprint an editorial from ,a recent issue o f the staid-old-Pathfinder, the little weekly magazine o f world events that is found on the reading table o f more than a million homes in America. What •it has to say o f conditions in the city where the magazine is published and shdhld prove interesting at this time. We quote: “ What staggers us, to read some recent figures on the con- suption o f hard liquor in the District o f Columbia, is that oui little old national Capital is leading the whole country in per capita consumption o f whiskey. W e wouldn’t have believed it, but the figures come direct from the Distilled Spirits Institute. Washington, D.*C./ has a current capita consumption of liquor about four times the average of the country as a whole. Our figure is 5.02 gallons per person for 1941, against a national average of 1.33 gallons per person, Arkansas has the lowest per capita consumption, of .57 gallons, and Tennessee and Texas are in a tie for the second lowest total, with .66 gal­ lons each. The runner-up for top guzzling honors to Washing­ ton, D. G., is the wide-open state of Nevada, with an average o f 3.08 gallons per person. Interesting/also, is the fact that so-called “ monopoly” states where the liquor is sold only under state licenses, the per capita consumption is 16 per cent less than in states where sales are made through private shops'and saloons. “ And, speaking of trends, the District o f Columbia’s per capita sales in 1934 were 2.46 gallons; in 1935, 3.34 gallons; in 1986, 3.94 gallons; in 1937, 3.80 gallons; in 1938, 3.65 gal­ lons; In 1939, 3.88 gallons; in 1940, 4,26 gallons, and in 1942, 6,02 gallons, , “ Perhaps Washington heeds “ A ” cards fo r alcohol as well as gasoline.” , In as much as the' coming Sunday has been setaside for study o f the liquor situation, these facts should furnish an in­ teresting study. We have been told of a statement made some months ago by one of our prominent farmers during the Bible Class hour as to conditions in Washington as related to govern­ mental policies were formed by what he termed “ thirty thinkers and three thousand drinkers.” : uiHmttHuiutttttmiiMHttjJmmuimnmimiMmummmmM pushed taHi.

The ■ |Timea-Star stated 65,000 families An interesting discussion on the would meet Saturday last with no food situation with labor conditions canned food fo r Saturday end Sunday took place over the farm hour out of Washington D.

The government representatives have everything fig ; ured out on paper just what the far­ mer is going to be required to do, Ij^JMcNutt speaker being also the <juth-piece of organized labor, pic­ tured the farmer as one o f the most selfish, unpatriotic arrogant individ­ uals that enjoyed the American life, The Ag. Dept, speaker was about as bad and Rebind all that was said was the veiled threat o f what could be forced on the farmers. Sen, Austin advocated the elimination o f farm labor from the draft, but this did not suit the “government representatives. O’Neal did not say much other than things, would right themselves when the nation became hungry enough and that would not be leng. The Ag. rep­ resentative pictured the farmer as a" regular Saturday afternoon, and night loafer with attendance at mid­ week picture chows, and the man hour* lost on the farm was terriffic, according to his view. Sen. Austin warned that too much should not be taken for granted fo r the farmer would eat first, something Washing­ ton did not realize. O’Neal said lie would .like to have someone explain to him how 8,000,000 farmers, were going to bo able to produce to feed an army of ten million an<J, our pop ulation o f -130 millions with 500 mil­ lion foreigners as had been suggested as part o f the peace following the war.

John L. Lewis head o f the miner’s union is planning for his new April contract on wages and insists on an increase o f $2 day for some 350,000 miners. The operators will not accept such a con­ tract. Both AFL and* CIO members will back Lewis in bis, demands re gardless o f both Green and Murray, their presidents that sit often at the White House table, Churchill has an affliction also, India troubles him and the labor element in Parlia ment have also made new demands o f English labor fo r higher wages for' all classes* Lewis will •win, is the prediction in most business cir­ cles. ‘ v LEGAL NOTICE Anna Davis, whoa* place o f Ted* deuce is unknown will take notice that, on the 16th day o f February, 1948, W, M.

(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) I f you want a metal casket, copper bronze or even steel you had better make your selection at once even though you may not need it. If the duration lasts only until the next presidential election you might take a chance. However, if it is to be 10-year duration, it might be well to make a few plans’ ahead. Whether you know it or not, man­ ufacturers are not allowed to make anymore metal caskets. The supply is running 16w and the old fashioned wooden Structure with up-to-date trimmings will take its place. Another topic before the forum was the use of business clerks, and help’ from, public offices for .the harvest ieason along with Mexicans and for­ eigners that were to be imported. No­ me mentioned what the Mexican gov. eminent put in the labor contract for human-power to be farmed out in this country. Prevailing industrial wages, board, modern homes with bath, etc. In discussing the wage problem the government representatives approved the idea o f fixed .wages o f hours and pay for all farm labor, eight hours was suggested, O’Neal stated a five day week o f eight hours would, leave the city -folks without milk two days each week. Of course the farmer-was to do the milking those two days so the city could enjoy the milk, HM D WANTANDSALEADS PAY . . . - * — '■ ^ ---------------------------- With meat rationing in the near future it is interesting to hear that' the system controlling the human ap­ petite and the slaughtering o f live stock has been designed by a 30-year old squirt o f New Deal fame that once had six weeks experience in an 111- !nois country' slaughter house during vacation time. From then on he be­ came an "ag economist’’ and ready for any New Deal task. Ha is expected to say just how much meat 'you will have ahd reports ou t,of Chicago Sat­ urday night were interesting.

What we sow we reap, whether in the farmer’s field, in our national life,, or in the Jife of the individual. It is true physically, mentally, morally and spiritually. How surprising then that intelli­ gent Americans think we can go on with the use of intoxicants, which haver destroyed other nations and ex­ pect to escape the same sad conse­ quences, Professional men have wrecked their careers, business men lost their hard earned positions, and rich men dissipated their inherit­ ances; and at the same time each of them has fallen into moral decay —-all through their inability to con­ trol their desire for drink. Yet we continue to license its. sale, and so another generation of young- men must meet the same temptation. Our lesson presents three results of drunkenness. I. Military Defeat (I Sam., £0:16; i7), ■ r A crisis in the life of King David is related in this, chapter. The Amalekitcs had taken Ziklag. The king and his family were prisoners, held by a host of barbarous men far too strong for them to oppose. He inquired of God and was told to attack. With his little army of 400 men he ..defeated them. Why? Be­ cause in a drunken debauch they were celebrating their victory of the day before. This was not the -first, nor the last, time that military defeat fol­ lowed indulgence in alcoholic bev­ erages. It has happened even in the present war. Have we learned the ’ lesson? Will we avoid that danger? In this, country our armed forces and defense, workers are constantly exposed to temptation—and how many o f them fall, anyone may know who has eyes to see. From distant battlefronts come disquieting reports' that intoxicants are among the “ supplies" which find quick transportation to the very front, where they are soon put to their destructive use. II. National Decay*(lisa. 28:1-4, 7). Isaiah was a mighty voice against moral corruption, and for the right­ eousness of God. With true prophetic insight he saw beneath the outward 1 prosperity and apparent glory of his people, and exposed the sins which would sOon destroy them as a na­ tion. Outstanding among these de­ structive forces was drunkenness. Turning first to the northern king­ dom of Israel (for the nation had ' now been divided), he tells them that though their valleys may be fertile and their cities resplendent, the collapse o f all their boasted greatness will surely come if they live in revelry and drunkenness. He speaks of the coming of "the mighty and the strong one” (v. 2) who will be like a destroying storm. He refers’ to Assyria—itself- an un­ godly people, but used of God to scourge His own people who had become indulgent and sinful. There is a truth here which we need to leant. When nations forget God and fail in their responsibilities to Him and to their fellow men; when they become vain and self in­ dulgent, God will bring judgment upon them* He may use as His in­ strument natiohs who are them­ selves pagan, to accomplish His pur­ pose. The people should be led in re­ pentance and righteousness by. their religious leaders. How sad that some set an. example in the other direc­ tion. Others who live personal lives above reproach are silent on these important questions lest they give offense to someone-who may make it difficult for them. How sad! III. Eternal Destruction (Gal, 5:19-21). Military loss and national declen­ sion should be ehough to align every right thinking person against intoxi­ cants. But far worse is the faOt that they bring many, many men and women into eternal separation from God. In this passage “ drunkenness and reveilings’ ’ find their proper place with the other works of, the flesh which close the door to this kingdom of God. There is no use trying to dismiss or cover it up as toe un­ fortunate weakness of an otherwise nice person, or the natural result of a bit Of social fellowship. America has too long regarded a drunken person as a joke—or at most a bit ot a nuisance to be indulged .and tolerated., The Bible say* that “ toby who practice such filings shallA not inherit the kingdom o f God" (v .2 1 ). That is plain enough, isn’t it? Mr, Drinker, outside' .or inside the church, had you better not* think about that before you drink again? Church of Christ, is it not time for you to do something more effective to deliver toe young men and women of America from toe constant temp­ tation now. placed before them?, Teachers Marriage Solemnized In Tennessee Word has been received that Miss Nelle Barrow, the second grade teacher, and Mr. Duke Wright, o f McKenzie, Tennessee, were -married Friday,' February 26, in Memphis, Tennessee.
