CIVILIAN D DAY Some one, happ named June 12, the date of begnning of the Fifth War drive as ‘ Civil an D Day”, o one was re- ported shot., no had to hide in e hastily dug fox hole while en emy shells burst over him. no one was caught in the flak. Here at home we can use mon ey as a means of fulfilling our duty to our nation. D Day In T urope meant using blood. Here we have some choice in the matter, not all our money need be used to give us a place on the honor roll of civilians. In this county a fifth of the money we have in the bank , will reach our quota- » It is an easy way to meet a national need. Things that can be bought w ’.th money are the easiest things to obtain. The young m o of this county and na- tion are giving something much more precious than money. They give their ;mportant proparat on years, they give their education time, they risk their lives (and many give it) that this nation might uphold its place in the world. Civilian D Day starts a period when civilian* are asked for some thing, too. They are asked to LOAN some of the r . money to uphold the nation’s place in the ing a believer in the political philosophy of the new deal in office. Underhanded means should not be used regardless of the temptation that must come to reel Democrats to oust those whs have ta k e n over their party and given it a reputation for loose economic th.nkiijg. ‘ * A name is needed to mean all the allied armies fighting in Eu- rope. Here in America we read of the deeds of our own men and naturally get the notion that they aic doing most of the fighting, A short wpve broadcast ndicated that the English get the same idea because they hear of the ex- jloits of Englishmen.

This county has an enviable rep utation for the purchase of bonds Its citisens have done well when competed with per capita sales In the remainder of the nation al though we have not all spent a camp arable percentage of our in come. The war has served us well; w< have gotten financial gain from it. We have bought a little ever a million dollars in bonds since May 1941. That has been about ten percent of our gross in come. These are invasion days, days when our young men are trying to establish a foothold on foreign and enemy soil. They are taking risks to life and limb. The least we can do is to keep the supply of war material going to them by letting the government use our money through the purchase c f bonds This is the time. W eed control Thia is the time of year when there is talk about the menace of v«eeds. It is several weeks too late to do much about it. That is human. Although the weed control law has been used to make Sherman ccRHity a weed control district the county court has' not taken the r.eceaaary action to make that law effective. Consequently weeds are spreading even in theae years when control measures could be efforded. Control of morning glory is generally pretty effective as more chemical is being applied each year and cultivat on methods are being used to hold the weed in cheek. The other ; two perennial weeds, Russian Knap weed and white top are spreading with lit tle control. . This year it is possible to ob serve serious loss to whqpt fields from annual weeds, a type of weeds that have received little attention in control campaigns. Pepper grass, fire weed and mus tard have taken parts of some fields and the seed from them will be an expensive nuisance for year.» to come. A new weed is becoming well scattered.

The hearings on this problem before the Senate revealed that sending supple mentary supplies of food to the chil dren of <5ur Allies to raise them from extrem e undernourishment to an ade- q n t e diet would not aid the G e r mans. Nazi authorities would still have to provide the quantities of food now granted to children In occupied countries under rationing restrictions. The same relief plan said to have saved th% lives of 3.000 000 Greeks w ithout benMltting a singte Nazi can be extended to 10.000.000 starving children and expectant mother» In other A llied countries.
