"It is Better to Give '
It has been pointed out on this page from time
to time that we are but fairly launched upon a
campaign to bring justice and equality to a war
ridden world. While our fighting forces are round
ing up the outlaws it is our privilege to provide the
funds for feeding, clothing and sheltering the un
fortunate peoples who have felt the pressure of
the tyrant's heel. It is our privilege because we
have something to give, not only of our means but
of our way of life. It is an opportunity to prove to
the Axis powers our faith and belief in the prin
ciples of democracy, in the more abundant life for
the individual, and the right to use our means as
we see fit.
In Europe and Asia are millions of people who
have not enjoyed a bountiful meal in more than
three years. Countless numbers of them have
been doing slave labor and living off of what the
invaders have cast aside as unfit for Aryan con
sumption. Clad in the flimsiest of makeshift
clothing, they face another winter of intense suf
fering, for i they are fortunate enough to have
shelter it is almost certain they cannot provide
fuel for warmth. Such fuel and food as they may
scrape together will not be spared to them if their
Nazi overlords choose to take it for their own use.
Demands for funds are more apt to increase
than decrease in ensuuing months. The war is
far from over and Nazi destruction will add
to the burden. The spirit of revenge displayed in
Italy in recent weeks should serve as a warning of '
their intention to leave conquered lands desolate.
Starving people, trying to rebuild their homes
have little stomach for war or pursuing a cam
paign and to the Nazi mind, as well as the Japan
ese, this is honorable warfare.
Starting tomorrow, Friday, we will be given an
opportunity to subscribe funds for Oregon War
Chest, Inc. This subscription will cover donations
to 17 different relief agencies as well as several
state organizations. The sum asked from this coun
ty is in excess of $4,000 and while this looks like
quite a sum, the money will have far-reaching re
sults and this campaign will eliminate numerous
other drives throughout the year. It does not in
clude the tuberculosis seal sale nor the annual
Red Cross membership campaign. It does include
the USO and several other agencies for which
this county has given generously in previous
drives. It will provide funds for several baby
homes in Oregon for which private solicitors have
been sent out over the state, thus relieving a cer
tain amount of administration expense to the in
stitutions. In a sense it will do away with constant
ly, organizing for this or that drive and will lessen
to some extent the amount of subscriptions made
throughout the year.
It will facilitate the work of the committees if
you will first make up your mind that you will
give generously and then send in your remittance
at an early date. If this is not done it will be ne
cessary to canvass each district and this) mean9
needless use of cars at a time when gas and rub
ber conservation are the need of the hour.
Remember the admonition of the Man of Galli-
lee, "it is more blessed to give than to receive."
We have been gloriously blessed by a bountiful
nature. We have suffered no hardships very
few inconveniences, in fact and we should gauge
our giving by the blessings we have received.

We "Dood It" Again '
Morrow county is still in there pitching. It is
still too early to learn just how much we "pitched"
but figures released the first of the week prove
that when it comes to meeting quotas this political
unit is no piker. Third War Loan quota, $367,800;
Third War Loam sales in Morrow county, more
than $435,000 up to Monday. It is possible that
the figure will be expanded ere the last purchases
are recorded this evening.
When this county's quota was announced a
few weeks ago it looked like the state war loan
officials were loading it onto us a little. At least
it was a little out of proportion to neighboring
counties and those in charge of the drive wrink
led their brows just a trifle. Then came the auc
tion sale which put the campaign into high gear
with something like $(38,000 worth of bonds,
bought, in the main, by a handful of affluent
wheatraisers and stockmen. This pace was not
maintained, of course, but it. made our people
bond conscious and purchases were made regu
larly except on Saturday nights when the bank
was prepared for, a landoffice business which did
not materialize.
It must be remembered, however, that the coun
ty flowed up on bond purchases during August.
Th:s may have been due to the harvest and the
forthcoming var loan drive Whatever the reason,
the slack has been taken up in the current drive
and our reputation has been saved.

Hunting and Fires
Friday, October 1 marks the opening of the
hunting season. The weather bureau has not in
dicated that there will be rain by the end of
September and this raises the perennial caution
about fire. The mountain fastnesses are dry,
there is no disputing that fact. Likewise there
are large numbers of deer, and not a few hunters
with itching trigger fingers even if ammunition
supplies are running low.
Hunters native to this region understand the
fire hazard. It is not likely that they will grow
careless or commit a deliberate act endangering
timber and grazing land. Nevertheless, the for
est service wishes to impress upon each and every
individual the extreme necessity of avoiding fires.
There is insufficient manpower to cope with a se
rious fire and any fire right now would be classed
as serious.
If you contemplate a hunting trip it is just as
important that you prepare to prevent fire as well
as to hunt.This is especially pertinent to opening
day nimrods, for if fire breaks out early in the
season it is possible that the forested areas will
be closed. No one wants to see this happen, least
of all the hunters.

Mail That Package Now!
Unless relatives and friends of service men
overseas get busy right now with mailing Christ
mas packages those boys out there will be disap
pointed. Date for mailing such packages positively
closes October! 15. Fifteen days of the allotted
time have passed and post office authorities state
the mailing has been slow to date. This will work
a hardship on mail carrying facilities. If you plan
to send packages overseas, don't plan any longer
send them now! A package from home is like
manna from heaven to those boys. There is no fi
ner thing the folks at home can do for them.

rom where I sit
Joe Marsh
One of the best-liked farmers
in these parts is Bert Childers!
And he has the best way of
beatin' the man shortage, too.
Come husking time, Bert in
vites all of his farmer neighbors
over to have a glass of beer.
When they ask politely
"Where's the beer?" Bert points
to a bucket-full of frosty bottles
in the middle of the field.
"All you got to do," he says,
"is work your way out to it."
Well, Bert's Idea has caught
on all over the countryside.
Folks are pitching in to help
their neighbors harvest grain,
and fruit, and vegetables - and
are taking their reward In soci
ability when the job's done.
And from where I sit, that's a 1
mighty healthy picture of Amer
ican life - people working to
gether to get in the food this (
country needs - and afterwards,
sittin' around like good friends, '
over a moderate glass of whole
some beer. I'm for it!
