•THE TRUTH WILL^=^\ SET YOU FREE”
Attend The Fair!
Since arriving in Ashland about seven months ago,
we have been continually impressed by the progress
iveness and community spirit displayed by Bellview,
our good neighbor to the south. Further evidence of
this community spirit in action is the Southern Jack-
son County fair which is being sponsored by the Bell
view grange this Saturday and Sunday.
This is the second fair to be held in Bellview and all
indications are that the exhibits will surpass those of
last year. At a time when many fairs and produce
shows are discontinuing or degenerating into carnival
attractions or rodeos it is refreshing to find a fair with
the emphasis on the many excellent products of this
area and upon the quality of homework of the
community.
Attend the fair, see the excellent farm and home
products displayed and by your attendance encourage
the growth of this commendable institution.

The whole theme for the defense program can be
expressed in the single word sacrifice. Public officials
from the president down have rightly emphasized that
modern mechanized war requires appalling quantities
of a nation’s resources. Home owners and consumers
must of necessity depart from normal American living
standards. The manner in which the people of America
have responded to the call for ever greater cooperation
is exemplified by the recent aluminum drive. Citizens
of communities from Maine to California “chipped in”
to fill parks, civic centers and street corner bins with
mountains of aluminum. Their response was unhesi
tating.
Have the nation’s lawmakers been equally cooper
ative? They have not! Pork barrel politics has been
carried on as usual When President Roosevelt at
tempted to iron out some of the inequalities in the new
tax bill, and recommended that exemptions be lowered
so that the income classes which are receiving the bulk
of the war spending would be taxed, the House killed
his request at once, with hardly a hearing.
Crowning congressional ignominy followed the
president’s statesmanlike veto of the $325,000,000
“strategic” road construction program, on the ground
that it did not give enough consideration to military
needs. Due to the ease with which it can reach “polit-1
ically” strategic areas, road construction is a natural
pork barrel activity. The senate overrode the presi
dent’s veto 57 to 19. The fact that the House later up
held the veto, by a hair-line margin, does not excuse
the Senate’s action.
It is high time, to put it bluntly, that the people of
this country demand that their representatives prac
tice what they preach—sacrifice. If there is to be a
civilized post war world for Americans, it will have to MADDING- CRAWFORD

REMEMBER WHEN
—the fringed hammock hung from two hooks in the posts
of the porch? It was a first-class aid to lovers, for two
people could not help sitting close together in one. Long
summer evenings "passed quickly” in tune to the comfort
able slow swinging of the hammock. Remember?
if you have an accident and
fail to j>ay a resulting dam
age award against you.
Automobile insurance secur
ed after the accident will
not help you. That is the
law in this state.
