A TRUST IS KEPT
Back of the epochal conference be
tween President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Winston Churchill is a story
on voluntary censorship which speaks
volumes for the news dispensing agen
cies of this America of ours. The man
ner in which the President's where
abouts were kept secret is astonishing
in view of the activity of foreign agents
and to the press and radio no small
amount of credit is due for making the
conference an uninterrupted meeting
andan unqualified success.
Since the big news is -out it is not a
violation of ethics, to reveal that all
news dispensing agencies were given
advance information of the President's
absence from Washington, Can you
imagine the color of one Shicklgruber's,
face when the big story broke? Can
you not see him storming about his
headquarters, demanding to know
where his trusted and widely heralded
agents, were to allow the man for whom
he holds the greatest contempt and
who is his number one hate to quietly
slip away from Washington and em
bark on a five thousand mile air jaunt
right into .Adolph's territory? Some
one's, head will be disconnected from
his body for that slip.
But that appears to be part of the
President's campaign to keep Adolph
up in the air and it is a program in
which the press and other news, agen
cies are playing a willing hand. With
the competition there is mong news
agencies to "scoop" the news field it is,
truly a display of patriotism for all to
participate so wholeheartedly that hot
the slightest hint that the President
was not at his desk leaked out for a.
matter of ten or twelve days and no
knowledge of his whereabouts was
gained until official announcement was
made.
It should be a lesson to the Axis co
horts that the people of the Allied
countries are united to win the sort of
victory President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill met to discuss. It
likewise proves that the press of the
land as well as all other agencies hand
ling news are alert to the necessity of
working m harmony with the high
command and are doing a commend
able job.

do it, and when he can't do it.
Planting a crop, milking a cow, rais
ing a hog or selling a steer have all be
come acts which virtually require a
lawyer's advice.
So today more than ever, a farmer
needs the help of cooperative market
ing organizations. He needs, the advice
of experts. Acting individually, he is
sunk. Acting collectively, he can com
pete with the power and the influence
arrayed against him.
It is up to the farmer to solve his,
own problems, by intelligent action
through his own farm organization
speaking for him.

IT CAN'T BE HELPED
The Gazette Times comes to you this
week in abbreviated form, not from a
matter of choice but due to circum
stances which have left no alternative.
The truth of the matter is that a short
age of newsprint in the press room is
responsible and it is to be hoped that
such a shortage will not occur again.
Two factors combined to create the
shortage failure to order early
enough and a shortage at the whole
sale house due to tieup of paper mills
in the heavy weather prevailing in
the vicinity of Portland. This may be
a sample of what is to come when ra
tioning sets upon the printing indus
try in good earnest and in the mean
time it will be our purpose to keep the
Gazette Times as near up to standard
as conditions will permit. Some feat
ures have been omitted and will be
resumed next week.

DIVIDED THEY FALL
Under that heading the Industrial
News Review says just about what the
average farmer is thinking these days
and states the case in approximately
the manner this paper has felt inclined
to state it, only in better terms.
Says the INR:
Surrounded by big government, big
business and big labor organizations,
the farmer who tries to struggle along
by himself today is rather helpless. He
finds agencies on every side telling him
TIME TO HELP
The right of any business to advance
by the initiative of its owner or man
agement, operating on a competitive
basis, has, given this country a merchan
dising system that is now of incalcula
ble value to consumers in money saved,
and in the greater variety and better
quality of products and merchandise
offered.
Retail stores, never before faced
such problems as today. Securing
goods for distribution requires expert
knowledge, foresight and an under
standing of laws and regulations here
tofore unheard of in this nation.
There is one request that merchants
now make of all consumers: Between
now and the time full war rationing
takes effect late in February, don't
hoard. The merchants ask this be
cause they are cooperating with gov
ernment to the utmost to avoid disrup
tion of consumer supplies. Merchandi
sers, no matter how efficient, cannot
distribute products that do not exist.
Lend-lease and military demands have
made deep inroads on supplies of all
kinds. It is up to the consumer to co
operate in dividing what is left.
o
Death of two Morrow county boys in
the armed forces reported this week
brings the war closer home. As the
battle grows heavier and more of our
boys are thrown into action we may
expect more grim news. It is not a
cheerful outlook but one which we
must steel ourselves to face.
