Official Paper for Morrow County
A Challenge
Fall of Corregidor this week gives
a new challenge to patriotic Amer
icans. It means the releasing of a
good sized portion of ths Japanese
war machine to further efforts of
conquest in the far southwest Paci
fic or elsewhere, and therefore
means faster strengthening of this
nation's war machine to meet the
new threat, and to stop it as early
as possible so that the tide of war
may be turned and lives of more
brave Americans saved.
No mere words can pay just tri
bute to the heroes of Bataan and
Corregidor, who in frustrating what
Japan had hoped would be a quick
and easy campaign, actually turned
defeat into victory for the United
Nation's cause, proved the metal of
true Americans and instilled hope
and bravery in hearts of their coun
trymen and allies the world over.
Tears may not now be shed for
loved ones, even from our own
homes, the fate of whom has not
yet been determined, but there is
cause for a renewed resolution and
prayer that Corregidor, Bataan, and
other free lands that have fallen to
greedy conquest, will again be un
der the flags of the free nations.
Morrow county's record stands
high among counties of the nation in
all war efforts. This record will not
fall. More of our men are going for
ward to bear arms against the ene
my, and they will give a good ac
counting, as have those who have
gone before. Our people are wel
coming opportunity to ration that
the armed forces may be the more
effective, they are producing victory
gardens and the whrat and wool so
vital to sustaining the army, navy
and marines and they are purch
asing war savings bonds.
It is in the latter matter that all
must dig a little deeper now. This
county's quota for May is $29,400,
substantially more than the average
purchased in recent weeks, which
means more people must buy bonds,
and continue to buy them until the
war's end. Only in event of victory
will the people of America escape
the dictator's heel and be maintain
ed in security of their resources
in which event they will be able to
redeem their bonds at face, and
have a reserve against the trying
times of reconstruction ahead.

registered if they are plainly mark
ed. The OPA announced appointment
of 60 specialists to OPA offices thru
out the country to serve as technical
aides in handling problems arising
from the sugar rationing program.
Motor vehicles in essential services
may not have new tires if recapped
ones will serve their purposes, the
agency said. New and used type
writers are not under quota restric
tions but are available to eligibles
who can establish their need for
them, OPA reported.
War Strategy
The President in a radio address
said American warships are in com
bat in the Arctic, Mediterranean and
in the North and South Pacific, Am
erican troops are at stations in South
America, Greenland, Iceland, the
British Isles, the Middle East and
the Far East, the continent of Aus
tralia and many islands of the Pa
cific. American planes manned by
Americans are flying in actual com
bat over all the oceans and all the
continents, he said, and flying for
tresses will soon be fighting for the
liberation of Europe. Australia, New
Zealand and much other territory
will be bases for offensive action,
the President said.
The War Front
Admiral William Stark, command
ing U. S. Naval forces in European
waters, said the submarine menace
off the U. S. Atlantic coast is being
beaten. Gen. MacArthur's head
quarters in Australia reported a six
day aerial offensive by United Na
tions bombers against , Japanese
bases north of Australia destroyed
more than 50 enemy planes, sank
one transport and inflicted heavy
damage on enemy ground installa
tions. Air raid alarms on Corregi
dor Island passed the 250-mark, but
the attacks began to lessen in inten
sity. U. S. gunners in the Manila
Bay forts shot down five bombers
and damaged two others, sank an
armed Japanese vessel and scored
hits on troop and truck columns and
supply dumps.
Army and Selective Service
The War Department established
an eastern military area, including
all of the Atlantic seaboard. Secre
tary Stimson said no mass evacua
tions of citizens are contemplated,
but vital areas will be policed to
prevent potentially dangerous per
sons from entering them. The Army
announced establishment of "Port
Agencies" in principal U. S. seaports
to coordinate and speed shipment
of war supplies to all United Na
tions. Mail to American prisoners
of war in the Far East whose names
have appeared on official lists of
the Provost Marshal General may
be sent postage free, the Red Cross
said.
College students enrolling in ad
vanced ROTC courses will be re
quired to enlist in the Army Enlist
ed Reserve Corps if they have rea
ched the age of 18, the War De
partment said. The department re
ported 327 negroes are now enrolled
in Officer Candidate Schools. Se
lective Service Director Hershey
said men who registered last Febru
ary 16 will be included in June calls
of every local board.
Navy
The Marine Corps announced its
maximum enlistment age is now 33
instead of 30, and height require
ments range from 63 to 75 inches,
instead of 64 to 74. The first sub
marine completed in the Great
Lakes was launched at a Wisconsin
port. The Navy Department report-

Production and Conversion
War Production Chairman Nelson
said although the U. S. is "over the
hump" in war production and Uni
ted Nations output exceeds that of
the Axis by a considerable margin,
the real production war has just be
gun because of the head start of the
Axis. More than 1,000,000 men and
women are working in war plants
where joint labor-management pro
duction drive committees have been
set up, he said. The War and Navy
Departments announced jointly the
establishment of a Price Adjust
ment Board in each department to
review financial setups of war con
tractors whenever there is reason
to believe excess profits are being
made.
War Labor Supply
President Roosevelt said plans to
register women for war work have
been abandoned for the present be
cause there are more women work
ers now who want jobs than there
are jobs available. He said any wo
man wanting to get into war work
may register at a U. S. Employment
Service office. War Manpower
Chairman McNutt said the number
of persons employed .in war work
by the end of 1942 may reach 17,
500,000 compared with 1,500,000 at
the beginning of 1941. He said a mil
lion or. more additional women will
be employed in war industries this
year. Mr. .McNutt issued directives
to the 1,500 Employment Service of
fices in regard, to the placement of
women and men over 40.
War Bonds and Stamps
The President told his press con
ference he hoped people would buy
War Bonds and Stamps out of cur
rent earnings rather than from cash
reserves, Treasury Secretary Mor
genthau said investments of em
ployees in firms operating under the
payroll savings plan must be raised
at once to a minimum of 10 percent
of the gross payroll. He said the
number of employees purchasing
bonds regularly must be doubled,
and average purchases raised from
$7.50 to $20 a month.

Maybe I shouldn't admit it, but
there are a few things about this
writing job I really like.
F'rinstance, I like the part where
. . . after all the writin' and the
routine is done ... I just set back
and think about things in general.
(Oh, yes, that's part of the job,
too.)
Doesn't matter much what I
think about. Sometimes I concen
trate on one thing. Sometimes I
think of lots of things, one right,
after the other.
Usually, when I get to thinkin',
I send down for some beer. Seems
a glass of beer not only touches
the spot but it also sort of helps
the thinkin' mood along.
It's such a peaceful, friendly
beverage. Sort of honest and hu
man. And it tastes good.
I like to hold my glass of beer
up to the light and look through
it. That beautiful, golden-amber
color kind of fascinates me. Re
minds me of the sunny barley fields
where beer gets its start.

Leadership by a man who says, "It can be done state
and local taxes can be cut." A man with a definite pro
gram to accomplish tax reductions.
After all . . . when yon stop to
think about it . . . beer is a simple,
natural thing. I read somewhere
that all it's made of is good, whole
some farm grains and water and a
little yeast . . . with hops for flavor.
Nature's process of fermentation
and the age-old art of the brewer
does the rest.
I guess that's why beer is so
wholesome. It really is the bever
age of moderation. You just can't
imagine anybody getting into trou
ble drinking a few glasses of beer.
Well, here I am . . . going on
and on thinking and talking about
beer. Probably could go on for
hours. That's the way I am when
I set back and get to thinking
about things.
And by the way, taking it easy
and "just thinkin' " is fun. Try it
