Here Again
ANOTHER World war is being
waged and once again America,
a non-belligerent nation, is being
pressed into the role of the Good
Samaritan. America, the richest na
tion on earth, is looked to for as
sistance, and America as usual will
not shirk her duty. Already large
sums of money have been forward
ed to relieve the suffering of war
refugees and more relief money will
have to be sent overseas if the lives
of thousands of innocent victims
are to be spared.
This week the American Red Cross
society issued a call for additional
funds. The original sum asked for
has been doubled and in all proba
bility there will be calls for addi
tional quotas before the present sum
is subscribed. Morrow county was
asked to raise $310 as its share of
the original $10,000,000 and before
the local organization could get un
der way to secure that amount an
appeal came for $G20.
There is little doubt that the sum
will be raised, and it must be raised
immediately. The destruction is be
ing wrought so rapidly that each
day adds thousands to the list of
sufferers. Red Cross units operating
within the war zone can not cope
with the situation and their forces
must be augmented with money,
supplies and workers. The stricken
countries are depending upon us
and we can not fail them.
Red Cross workers will be in
your neighborhood within the next
few days. They will be working for
a worthy cause and will be entitled
to courteous consideration. If given
proper cooperation, they will ac
complish the purpose for which they
are working and Morrow county
will once more go on record as
doing its bit for humanity.

Everybody called him Jap, and all

to be discussed. So all will miss
Jap.

at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Marvin
Brannon. Everybody is cordially in
vited to all services. E. L. Ely, pas
tor. The weather during the last week
has been very invigorating. The
gardens would have used the word
harmful, for on several nights there
was ice. In some places on watering
troughs it was a quarter inch thick
and had to be broken. The flowers,
as well as potatoes and cabbage show
marked resentment at such cold
treatment.

other combineable crops. .

crops, a John Deere will do the work better, clean
er, and at lower cost. Quality-built throughout
with many money-saving advan
tages; outstanding for ease of
operation, light draft, simplicity
of adjustment for varying con
ditions, and conven
ience in handling.

Combine to fit your re
quirements. Come in
and let's talk it over.
