IIAPPY New Yeur! Happy New
II Year!
Yuu will hear ami repeal I his
greeting many times today. Un
doubtedly you will meet some
one who will answer with the
cynic's reply: "What's happy
about it?"
That's one way of looking ai
It. The year 1!M3 is going lo
a tough year In many respects.
There will be more and more
shortages. Added lo the rationing
of I Ires, gasoline, sugar, coffee,
. meat and other items already un
der administrative control, doubt
less will be brought scores of
articles ol food, clothing and mer
chandise. We will pay the heaviest
taxes ever known in the United
States Victory tax, income tax.
hidden taxes, automobile use tax,
and other levies thai will cut
deeper and deeper Into the family
bankroll. We may grumble and
complain about these changes, but
there are few persons, If any, who
will object to any real sacrifice
that will In any way contribute lo
the success of the war effort. Our
criticism will continue, but that
criticism, as In the past, will be
directed at bureaucratic ineffi
ciency rather than at the re
quired deprivations. There will
be sad news of casualties among
those we love. There will undoubt
edly be setbacks in our war ef
fort. There will be many disap
pointments, mixed with rejoicing.
Allhogether, 1!M3 is going to be
it hard year, particularly on the
nerves and the emotions.
But, on the other hand, 1!M3
can be a most happy year. It very
probably will prove to be not
only a turning point in the war.
but the beginning of a new era
of social and economic life. j
We already have seen the bal
ance of power in this global war
swinging to I hi? allied nations.
Undersecretary of War Patter
son said recently:
"This much can be said wllh
assurance. The year l!M3 will be
a fighting year (or American
troops. We will be fighting In
Europe and Asia and Alrica anil
on the seven seas. We will seek j
out the enemy wherever we can!
find him not on one front or on
two fronts, but on any front i
where na.is and Japanese can lie
engaged in combat."
If the prediction of Secretary
Patterson is fullilled ami (lie
American soldier, sailor and ma
rine, properly equipped, is given
an opportunity to tight, we have
every confidence that victory is
ill sight. We believe the American
is the Im'sI lighter in the world,
and will give odils on his aliilily
to best even a superior number
of enemy lighters. We coiiiidcnl
ly believe that II victory is not
won In 111 13. the year w ill sec the
struggle approaching an end,
Hul the year mc enter today
will bring forth many thinns that
will make our live, better, bright
er and happier. The greatest ad
vances in science lesull fioin war,
because II is under such pel iod.s
of stress that scientists arc at

the opportunities lor reseati-h.

Medical science is making le
markable discoveries. New meth ,
oils have been developed ln :
treatment of wounds to save Hum i
sands from permanent disability '
New anesthetics have hern Imuid .
to ease slitterlng. New drugs hae
liccn discovered and developed
to save lives anil s)H'cd recovery.
The know ledge gained comci nine;
diet will, alone, increase the
normal span of lile in ytais lo
come. The discoveries of medical
science In the past few months
doubtless, during the next decide,
will save more lives than will be
lost in this war.
From the test tubes today are
coming new plastics, new textiles,
new comiounds that will ease our
labor, protect our health and add
comfort In our homes in years
lo come.
Aviation, which reached adoles
cence in the last war, is maturing
toduy. The future will see world
wide airborne commerce. The
planes of tomorrow will be a far
cry from the box kite affair
flown by the Wright brothers on
the sands of Kilty llawk.
The science of electronics Is
performing miracles, which, when
released from the shroud of. mili
tary secrecy, will astonish all ex
cept the few who have knowl
edge of whut the future holds In
this field.
These are but a few of the
revolutionary phases that will
reach a peak in 1!M3; a year that
promises adventure, anxiety, sus
pense, Joy, sorrow, and a promise
ol better living a mixture that
combines to produce a Happy
New Year.
Editorials on New

"The enemy is sending in
special detachments TO COVER
UP THE RETREAT OK HIS
TROOPS."
AI the present critical stage of
the fighting any hint that the
Germans are beginning to. RE
TREAT is fascinatingly Interest
ing, j
THE crisis of the great battle of j
southern Russia will come if
and when Hitler abandons his j
costly Stalingrad adventure and;
starts trying to get his unities j
out of the trap, whose Jaws the
Russians are fighting to close on
them.
MEANWHILE, there comes
from the Finns in the far
north a report that the Russians,
after a long lull, have taken the
offensive between Lake Ladoga
and Lake Onega, to the northeast
of Leningrad. It Is significant as
indicating Russian power to
strike at points separated by vast
distances.
EVERYTHLN'O depends on Rus
sian striking power.
THERE Is a general theory lhat
the Germans were taken by
surprise in northern Africa. This
writer is inclined lo doubt lhat.
For weeks before we launched
our African offensive, the Ger
man radio was telling nervously
of allied operations in thai quar
ter. It was the German radio
that first announced the presence
of American troops in Liberia.
Hays before the African blow fell,
the German radio was telling of
heavy allied naval concentrations
at Gibraltar.
11 is a fair guess that the Ger
mans had all inkling of what was
coming hut were so deeply in
volved in Russia they COl'LPN'f
HO ANY THING AHOl'T IT.
If that is true, it Is much more
significant than il they were,
taken completely by surprise. j
KNOWING wb.-t was coming j

would mean that Hitler had his
hands full to overflowing already

completed six months training at
the signal corps radio school at
Camp Murphy, Florida, and has
been promoted to the rank of
technical sergeant. He has been

THIS IS THE MOMENT!
1943 IS HERE . . .
Now is the time .
THIS IS
to make a solemn pledge that nothing shall be left
undone to win the war and to win it quickly.
The Penney Company regards its more than 1600 stores, its more
than 40,000 men and women associates, as a group of tremendous
vitality and force in the war effort. In addition, helping shoulder
to shoulder, we include the thousands of people who supply us
with what we sell; who in mills and factories all over the land
produce with only one thought in mind: the speeding up of the
war effort. But most important of all, are the millions who are
our customers. They know that no sacrifice is too great for our
common cause end they make it willingly and gladly.
The Penney Company's job has always been to supply typical
American families (people who live simply but well) with clothing
and home furnishings at substantial savings.
Those American Families are now the Home Frontl
It is their iob to send an ever-increasing avalanche of supplies
to those who are fighting our battles on the far-flung war fronts
of the world.
Those American families, that Home Front, can count on us to
continue our efforts to supply the good American merchandise
they must have to keep fit for their great task. We will continue,
unremittingly, our efforts to secure their needs at savings: Today
it is more than good sense and good management to save Thrift
and Savings are now an imperative duty.

A student at Roseburg high

of Roseburg, who Is now in North
Africa. Captain Tlgard's letters
were forwarded by his wife, a
former teacher in the schools at
Dixonville, Garden Valley and
Edenbower. He tells of giving a
44-year old girl her first piece
of candy for two years. "Lots of
girls here," he adds, "but they
look a little peaked from under
nourishment. They all want sum,
and a stick of gum will buy a
friend." Mrs. Tigard added a
note to the letter she forwarded,
indicating that she might be
worried as a result of her hus
band's mention of the gum-loving
girls, because shortly before re
ceipt of the letter she had sent
him a whole carton of gum.
