Still Takes Bonds to Buy Bombs
With the war in Europe at an end, some of tu
may erroneously believe that the necessity for
buying war bonds no longer exists. Nothing is far
ther from an actual fact, for we still are faced
with a determined enemy, an enemy which has
suffered heavy losses and has but to look a short
distance beyond the horizon to see our forces ap
proaching in great strength but still holds to the
determination to fight on to the last man.
It is evident that Japan will have to be entirely
crushed before' peace terms can be imposed. To
.accomplish that task requires continuous hammer
ing at her supply lines, her factories, and her arm
ed forces. This calls for moving up more men and
munitions, a constant stream of ships laden to
the gunwales with supplies. Replacements are
being rushed across the broad Pacific while others
ships are bringing wounded and sick men to the
mainland. All of which requires money and lots
of it.
Monday will see the launching of the Mighty
7th War Loan campaign. The exact amount Mor
row county people will have to buy to meet the
quota has not been revealed, but whatever it is
we must meet it. The percentage of E bonds is
higher this time, which means that more people
will have to participate than ever before. It can
not be left to a few big investors. It will be better
if each and every individual in the county is rep
resented, even if some of the purchases are of the
smallest denomination- This is everybody's war
and the earlier that fact is realized the better it
will be for all concerned.
What Lies Ahead?
Peace in Europe, or rather cessation of hostil
ities, presents new problems which are claiming
the attention of the big minds of the nation as
well as the little fellow who wonders what it is all
about. Until tha chaos which follows war is quiet
ed it is difficult to see what lies ahead and who
will benefit the most from the misfortunes of war.
There is one industry in which this section is
concerned that may be termed as on the inside
from the present viewpoint. Lumber appears to be
the number one commodity at present, due to de
mands of war and the outlook for timber pro
ducts in the postwar era is not dark by any means.
Reconstruction will place demands on the industry
that should keep the mills running to capacity for
many years unless the country should take a
nose dive into another depression, and the politi
cal great tell us that this will not happen.
If we are safe in looking ahead to several
years of intensified construction, would it not be
well for our lumbermen to probe the possibilities
of more finished products manufactured right at
the source of their timber supply? Undoubtedly
more and more industries will come to the Paci
fic northwest after the war, bringing new popu
lation and greater outlets for the products of our
mills. Plastics, furniture and many other items
could as well be manufactured here as to ship the
rough lumber to eastern points for resawing and
converting into finished products.
Communities so favored with natural timber
resources should be studying the possibilities of
wood in relation to their future stability and pros
perity. Heppner, with a comparatively limited tim
ber supply at its back door could well devote time
to the development of small industries that would
viding income for many families through a pro
make this limited supply last forever while pro
gram of conservation and judicious handling.
