continued until the second alarm is
soufided, which means a total black
out. ,
“When the total blackout is in ef
fect, alT traffic must stop and pull to
curb except emergency vehicles. 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 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?

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. And there are thou
