O. G. CRAWFORD. Editor SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year $2.50 Two Years 4.50 Three Year? 6.00 . Six Months 1.25 Throe Months b5 Single Copies 05 ASKED FOR BREAD, GOT CAKE When Messrs Schicklgruber, Mussy Lena, Tojo et al have time to reflect a bit they might contemplate the erro neous idea they held regarding a soft America, the land that was too busy making money and spending it in lux urious living to give war a thought. If the surprising strength of our armed forces, has not given them sufficient evidence of this nation's purpose then they should give heed to the results, of the recent war bond drive the second war loan bond campaign. Exact figures are not at hand, but announced figures show that the Unit ed States of America, the cradle of de mocracy, continues to stand in the way of the ambitious dictators realizing their goals, for when asked to sub scribe 13 billion dollars through pur chase of bonds, the people stepped up and bought more than 17 billion dollars worth. Such conduct is beyond the under standing of the international rack eteers and surely is not what they would have their blindfolded subjects believe. It was, not included in their plans for world domination, conse quently it can't be true. But they will learn soon enough what that oversub scription means in added military strength in the punching power of the several units, of Allied arms. The road to victory is a long, tor tuous one and our people are prepared to go all the way to reach the end of that road. There will be many calls from the treasury department and they will be met with the same determined effort to see the thing through. It has been demonstrated repeatedly that when the treasury asks the people for bread they respond with cake. o NOT OUR FAULT ALTOGETHER The Gazette Times is in receipt of a letter this week in which the writer takes us, severely to task for failing to give space to boys in the service who have made the supreme sacrifice or who are reported missing in action. For such of these as we have been remiss in reporting we humbly apologize, for it is not the purpose or desire of this newspaper to intentionally slight any one and particularly one whose life has been given in the service of his country. In defense of our sins of omission we beg to state that a very small percen tage of the boys in service from Mor row county are known to us person ally. Their family names are familiar in most instances but the youths them selves have grown up during the years we have been out of the county. Many of them had gone into the service prior to our return and of those there are many we have never met, so if mention was lacking it was due to the fact that members of their families or friends failed to bring or send infor mation to the paper. The Gazette Times has correspon dents in several sections of the county to whom the residents of those commu nities should give news of general in terest. Due to shortage of manpower to operate the printing machinery it is a difficult task for the editor to get out and run down news. But there is. al ways someone in the office from 8 a. m. to 6 p. m. (more often 10 :30 or later) and there is nothing to prevent anyone, unless suffering from an in feriority complex usually attributable to false modesty, from coming to the office and giving us information from which a story may be developed.

De pendent as the country is on agricul ture for the necessities of life it is es sential that greater knowledge and more active participation be develop ed in this, sphere. Growth in knowledge and partici pation has been wide-spread since in stitution of the 4-H club movement some 30 years ago until today livestock and other farm projects are regular features of argiculturai fairs and live stock expositions. Back of this development has been an educational feature which is not so apparent but yet is of much impor tance. The ' youngsters conduct their own meetings, learning parliamentary procedure and the fundamentals of debate and public speaking. Those are sidelines, but essential to developing principles necessary to conduct of their business. A demonstration of the value of 4-H club work was given at Pomona grange last Saturday afternoon when Mrs. O. W. Cutsf orth's, beef club held regular meeting as part, of the lecturer's pro gram. The poise, self-assurance and intelligence displayed by the young sters was a guarantee of safety and security in the years to come when they will be the leaders in economic and political fields..
