JAPANESE T R A D IT IO N OF NO SURRENDER SH ATTERED The tradition that the Japanese Soldier will not permit himself to be captured in war has be en shattered by the American leathernecks on Guadalcanal, Solomon islands. A t the present time the marines now control a camp in which the largest number o f Japan ese prisoners in the world is located. Instead of being morose and gloomy, the Japanese are ha ppy. They are especially pleased with American cigarettes and swing music. The tradition has been shattered like the old saw that Singapore was impregnable. Americans generally feel that after the united nations have disposed of Germany and Italy, they will still face a long fight with the Japs be cause of the reputation o f the orientals o f fight ing to the last man. Who did the Japs ever fight to the last man, except the Russians more than 30 years ago? In the last war, the Japanese fou ght to the last American, Frenchman and Eng lishman. The Japanese have never been up against an opponent worthy of their steel until now and when the British and Americans are freed suf ficiently in Europe and Africa to release men and materials, the Japs won’t last long, espec ially if and when bases are secured from which to bomb the armament and industrial plants of Japan. TH E USDA HAS SOM ETHING THERE Weiser American There is a lot in this farm mobilization idea that appeals to us. First thing we know we are going to find ourselves having a lot of respect for Claude Wickard and his gang in the USDA. One thing that strikes us at the moment is the freedom involved in the whole thing. Even the registration program is a leisurely thing, unlike so many recent ones where every person in the county has had to rush pell mell to some regist ering depot to sign up quickly, or else— . In this one each community works out its own signup schedule, and there is no compulsion about it at all, just so it is completed by March 1. The en tire program is based upon a faith that the aver age citizen has a bit of sense and judgment in his own right, all of which appeals to us imm- Grow Vegetable Seed Ilfre I k a vital, profitable and per imint-nt crop which most farmer* can raise In spite of present farm labor shortage.

It started around the chimney but with several of he neighbors assisting little dam age was done. W ARD RF.UNION ANNOUNCED Nyssa residents will be inter ested in the L. D. S. Ward reunion to be held February 19. All those who have moved away as well as those now living In Nyssa and vicinity are Invited to attend. Detailed arrangements will be made known later. A one act play, a program for old and young, supper and dancing are planned. Mrs. William Moyes entertained her club at her home last week. B. O. Bybee c f Ontario and D. O. Bybee cf Nyssa purchased sev eral truck loads of cattle in Weis er last week ediately. The program, as we read it, starts with the farmer, which is just the opposite o f the way in which such things have been done in other cou ntries. There such a program starts with the state, and the fanner must fit into his little nic he. Here the fanner plans his own program then lets the government know what it is, which is a- nother affirmation that democracy is still func tioning even in war time. Besides this, we would like to put in a plug for a kind of patiotism which probably will not receive much publicity. It is tough goiug for the farmer to raise that extra acre o f com or beans, or add another cow or two to his already stren uous program. It is even going to be pretty hard to go through another year on the same level as 1942, let alone a stepped up year. But we are predicting that the famer is going to come th rough a lot of good hard work that is going to have just as much o do with the final victory as is the man in uniform, crawling on his belly in the swamps o f Tulagi. Somebody has said that there is something almost holy about a man doing something hard without glory or monetary return in mind. And that is about what the farmers will be doing in 1943. A few of them are going to grumble and growl, but not many. Farmers of the Weiser dis trict are a patriotic group of fine citizens. L.D.S. News By T. Carol Bybee The Lord said “ Lovest Thou Me?
