Here at home we can use mon

Here we have some choice in

have in the bank , will reach our

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

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
