Pe destrians must take shelter at the nearest shelter to be found. “The all clear signal will be the turning on short blasts of the regular tie at the Clinton Mills. Each home should put this notice water should be free. We inherit the idea from those hardy old ancestors who drew a bucket of cold water from a deep well whenever they were thirsty. Town people enjoy no other public service equal to that of abun dant water, chemically treated. That is why we have so little typhoid fe ver nowadays. In the United States you can drink all the water you want in any town. You will be safe, for all our water is “treated.” No other country of my knowledge offers so much at so little cost to the individ ual consumer. I was afraid to drink the water in most other countries. In one country I bought a keg of distilled water ev ery day. It was brought to me slung over the back of a little burro. Inci dentally, in all my time in South America, I ate canned butter, Ameri can canned butter, from California.

I Mrs. Roosevelt, who, to say the least, is energetic and vocal, is fre quently cited and quoted by the Col ored papers. Says one editorially: “In an article in The New Thresh-v old, organ of the United States Stu dent Assembly, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt added four more freedoms don’t know what they are now’.” The Greenwood papers—The Index- Journal and The Plain Dealer— are presenting political matters very can didly. And why shouldn’t all of us be up la arms? The Democratic party is precious to us because it was the party of our father*. We stand where) our fathers stood, and we should not allow the Democratic party of the South to be further betrayed and ex ploited by political spoilsmen of the North, calling themselves Democrats. The South has both rights and prin ciples worth defending against the social theorists and political oppor tunists calling themaelves Democrats (of the North). We hpld fast to some traditions and will not turn our backs on our fathers because of poli tical pap or soft-soaping. Is Democracy merely a league of office-holders and political aspirants? Or, la it in truth a party of principle, irrespective of jobs and favors?

Washngton, Aug. 3.—The wave of optimsm which spread over our coun try following our success in Africa and then in Italy has been inflated to such an extent by the ousting of Mus solini that our war leaders are plain-1 to the quartet listed by her illustrious ly worried. Reports from all sections I husband. of the country indicate that the! “Her article entitled ‘Abolish Jim American people think the war is in Crow,’ is one of the best expressions the bag and many, who should know | we have seen in some time by an better,, are sitting back waiting for American white person on what de- our armies to do the final mopping mocracy ought to mean in the Unit ed States instead of the travesty we have. “On the Negro problem, Mrs. Roosevelt forthrightly discusses the question of racial intermingling, pointing out that through the ages no force or law has been able to stop it, and observing that ‘We should not have so many different shades of color in this country today, if this were not so. This is a question, there fore, that I think we have to leave to individuals, not only all over the United States, but all over the world, to handle.’ up within the next few weeks. The effects of this over-optimism are obvious on all domestic fronts. Civilian defense organizations are let ting their actvites drift. Motorists, who have been trying to conserve their worn tires for the duration are taking a chance on getting new tires soon. Enforcement of the ban on pleasure driving in the East is break ing down completely. All over the country people are taking the attitude that the crisis has passed and we will soon be back to normal.

They also realize that the job will be slower and more costly if the American people pemit any letup.

CLIFF EDWARDS and ED ,GAR- sa y s the nation’s supply or usable 'tires is dwindling rapidly and that there isn’t much chance of having many synthetic tires until mid-1944. He pointed out that our tire supply will reach the lowest point in history in September and that no one should permit tires to become worn out be yond the recapping stage. As lor gasoline, although the situ ation has been greatly confused by contradictory announcements by va rious Washington officials, the facts seem to indicate that, any increased use of gasoline in the East will re duce the supply going to -our armed forces or will enhance the shortage of heating oil available for next win ter. It is feared by some officials here that the encouraging news we have had lately will make the going harder in the campaign to decrease the rate of absenteeism in factories and will slow up the drive, soon to get under way, to get millions of women to take essential jobs. The treasury fears that the good news may also retard the sale ok war bonds at a time when a drive for the greatest sale of govern ment bonds in history is being plafi- ned for September. War leaders here consider it nat ural that our victories are arousing the people to a point where they are eager for the kill, but they, are point ing out that the final victory is not yet within easy reach and the time it will take to bring it about will de pend, to a large extent, on the peo ple’s willingness to keep fighting on the home front that everyone here has that chance, ‘we fight for nothing of value.’ “That is exactly the position of The Pittsburgh Courier, the ‘Double V’ movement, and of every intelligent American not blinded by color pre judice who loves his country and wants to see it survive.” Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt are Demo crats, Northern Democrats, and world- reformers. The Nazarene toiled with patience and indulgence to move men’s hearts; the Roosevelts, with all the zeal and mischief of arrogant ig norance, merely stir up trouble. Our newspapers are continuing to speak out about the Northern Demo crats and their breach of trust with us of the South. Our friend, Editor King of Aiken, has his editorial page talking to us with the flaming zeal of an evangelist. This is the second consecutive week that Brother King has taken the bull by the horns. Hear the Aiken Standard and Review: “As we see it, under the New Deal ad ministration, , the South has not only been treated like a red-beaded step child, but has been labelled ‘Nation al Economic Problem No. 1.’ We have been handed a raw deal, as part of the New Deal, and in the name of the Democratic party.” Not only does Editor King publish two editorials on the New Deal, but he uses as a third editorial a straight- from-the-shoulder article from The Laurens Advertiser. Says our Lalirens contemporary: “Many who were Re publicans are now members of what is called the Democratic party; while many who were Democrats are now members of whet is called the Re publican party.
