er8 unable to finance 1044 arm
ing operations through ' usual

are being taken by the County
FSA' committee, announces
George J. Thomas,' chairman,
Rpseburg.
"All new applications are care
fully reviewed by the county
committee to determine if all pos-
iibllltlcs of adequate financing
through local banks or other
rcdlt agencies have been ex
hausted," suid Thomas, "If the,
: application is approved, the
smallest loan consistent with
maximum war food production Is
recommended to conserve re
maining funds." . i
As a second step 1 In placing
FSA funds where they are most
needed,' the financial status and
progress of all present borrow
ers in the program throe years
or more have been reviewed to
dotermjne If they have; become
eligible for bank credit, It was
explained. A borrower who has
progressed to ' 'the "commercial

local flponting agencies If supple
mental cicdl( is required.
"FSA loan funds for the flgcul
year.pndliig July 1, 1I44,' will be
exhausted before ' the loaning
season Is over," Thomas said.
"We hope that every family-type

qualify for regular credit and

V By Charles V. Stanton
THE bpys at Camp White, Jledford, have a new pet, accord-
ing to a report by the public relations officer. A sentry
walkinjr a lonesome post one night recently heard a flight
noise behind him. He whirled and issued his challenge, but
obtained no response. But each time he resumed his
march, he could hear sounds, magnified by the quietude of
the surrounding darkness. Finally, reaching a street lamp,
he passed through the pircle of light and placed himself in
concealment. As he waited, a small doe came into view,
timidly following his trail. She seemed to be as lonely as
the sentry, and within a few minutes they had struck up a
friendship. After he had been relieved of ,duty, the sentry
fftpk her to the troop area and fed her. Under the stimulus
pf attention and good food she has become a favored pet
and answers to the name of "Susie."
Grantland Rice, noted sports writer, tc' s a strange tale in
one of his current syndicate releases. The U. S. marines
had just effected a desperate landing on fulagi island. Scout
ing parties were finding tough sledding in the jungle. Japs
surrounded the beachhead. Yet, within sound pf the battle,
awaiting their call to join the fighting, a group ,of marines
were playing a freak game of baseball on the beach. With a
dead branch for a bat, they .were going through all the
motions of a big league ball game. They had no baseball,
but the pitcher, catcher and batter went through the mptjons,
while ail umpire called imaginary balls and strikes. The
baseruuners ran the bases, and a near riot occurred on a
close decision at home plate, with a frenzied, partisan force
of "bleacherites" joining in the play-acting.
We cannot help comparing these incidents with the gib
berish recently credited to some, long-haired psychiatrists,
declaring that our boys, will return bloodthirsty, sadistic,
without respect for law and order and bent only upon mur
der and mayhem. Bosh !
They'll come home just the same, good, clean kids they
were when they left. A little older, much wiser, mature
beyond their years, perhaps, and with a look in their eyes
that shows extreme confidence in themselves. They may,
for a time, be a little rough in play and speech ; they're used
to playing rough. On the other hand, they'll be more polite,
better disciplined, more thoughtful, and, above all, more
neat and prdcrly than when they left. But fundamentally
they'll be the same, wholesome young men they were when
they were snatched out of peaceful civilian pursuits to enter
lives of danger, death and bloodshed.
The prevalence of mascots jn the armed forces proyides
officers wjth one of the major problems of the war. Every
stray dog is given a home. Goats, lion cubs, bears, coyotes,
the ever-prps.et racoon, and every animal that can be
tamed is adopted as a pet. The soldiers overseas' seldom
cat t.he hard candy and the chocolate bars with which they,
are furnished. The candy goes to the kiddies who (ire quick
(.0 cultivate the friendship of the soldiers. Many a dirty
'Arhb and Jtalian urchin is getting his first taste of sweets
in many years because of the natural allcctjpn of every
American for unfortunate youngsters.
Boys wip lavish affection upon dumb animals, who sacri
fice their sweets, and often their rations, to feed the chil
dren and the hungry civilians around them, who can play a
make-believe baseball game on sands within reach of sniper
bullets are not coming home hard-boiled, cruel or defiant
of law and order.
Just as nature walls off an infected spot on a lung with
protective calcium cells, so wjll the hideous recollection of
war be interned i" a corner of the mind. You will not
fjnd the veteran of this war inclined to talk of what he
has seen and experienced, upless the incident be humorous.
You perhaps will never know all that he has gone through.
Even to his mind much of the horror will eventually seem
like a hideous but hazy nightmare to be recalled less and
less frequently.
Though he may be today the best trained fighting man in
the world, able to whip anything the enemy has to offer,
he will discard at the quickest possible moment both the
material and mental accoutermcnts of war, and will be the
boy who loves pets, and children, and baseball, and Mom's
apple pie,
1944.

"Sulfa, Please!"
A WOUNDED AMERICAN BOY lies on a jungle trail in New
, Guinea. A companion stoops oyer him. "What can J do, fella?"
"Sulfa, please. They got me pretty bad." And into the stricken
man's wound goes the wonder drug that will fight off infection.
Few American women know that the same used cooking fats
they save in their kitchens to provide this boy with shells arid
bullets also help to make sulfa drugs, vaccines and scores of
other battlefield essentials. No material of war that you can
help provide means more in terms of his life or death. Are you
saving your used cooking fats? Even the blackest fat yields
crystal-clear glycerine. The need is so urgent that for every
pound of fat you turn in, your butcher will give you 4! and two
meat ration points, free. Save them in any kind of tin can, nof
glass. Rush them to your meat dealer. Start doing it todayl
