Also he stated that the time might come when many staple foods would have to be rationed to make it possible for our armed forces to continue as the best fed soldiers in the world while not denying the civilian population and war workers essential foods for health and contentment. Sunday afternoon the country learn ed what is ahead in the matter of food conservation. The secretary announced plans for rationing a substantial num ber of foods, common to the American public's daily diet. We are told what to expect and what not to expect, be to speed an early victory by giving up ginning about February 1. The main thing is that we will not rush to mar ket and buy up cases of canned goods or considerable quantities of other commodities with the idea of beating the rationing program. That habit will be broken by the new program, in fact, it is being broken now by food dealers themselves who have forseen the and are refusing quantity orders to inevitable curtailing of food supplies customers who are in position to buy heavily an'd who likewise are near enough the markets to make their pur chases frequently. Some leniency may be shown buyers coming from outlying districts who can make infrequent vis its to market at best. There is no reason to view the food rationing program with alarm. Sugar, coffee and gas rationing have not caused suffering and it is doubtful if they have caused inconvenience. It is all a question of viewpoint. If we can not give up some of our eating habits, or living habits for the sake of democ racy, then we have no right to look to democracy to protect us in those com forts. This is an all-out war, the por tent of which becomes more apparent each day. It is not a case of letting George do it for each and every one of us is "George" this time. Every indi vidual has his or her part to perform. We may not like it, but a disagreeable' task is best accomplished by getting right behind it and doing it and the sooner we realize that fact and get down to business the better it will be for all. -o- IT IS GOOD READING On the opposite page of this issue we present a forecast for 1943 by the eminent business analyst, Roged Bab son. Mr. Babson dwells at some length upon business prospects for the ensu ing year, pointing to those lines of bus iness endeavor that are favored by the war and those lines that are taking it on the chin, to use a modern term. It is hoped readers will take the time to go through this summary and get the slant of a man whose fame as a business forecaster is not only nation wide but recognized in foreign lands as well. In the light of what he has to say it is useless for a humble country editor to indulge in the annual pastime of "rendering" a. New Year's editorial. There is enough meat in the Babson forecast to keep one thinking through out the year. Read it and see how close he comes to registering the proverbial bullseye.

Following is a New Year greeting received by the Morrow county lo cal board of selective service: "As John Doe sat before his fire, a sorcerer appeared before him Said the sorcerer, "Three wishes shall you have. Say what it is you want and it shall be yours," and disappeared. "Well," said John, "no harm to try. I want 20 suits of fine clothes." An impulse caused him to open the door where ordinarily hung his one suit and low and behold, there hung 20 suits of the finest cut and tex ture. "Now", said John, "I want a trunk full of money." He raised the lid and beheld money running over. "There's nothing more that I want," said he to himself, "as well fixed as I am, I'd like to do something for for the good of humanity. I wish I could bump off that guy Hitler." Just then the telephone rang."Hel lo," said a voice, "do you want to kill Hitler?" "Sure," said John, not knowing how lucky he really was. "O. K.
