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.

WORTHWHILE TRAINING
America's future will be secure if
larger numbers of our farm youth
avail themselves of the opportunities
for learning to produce and conduct
Business affairs of the farm offered
through the 4-H club movement. 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..
