Thursday, December 28, 1944 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE, CLINTON, S C Page Seven + WtkU/CMd Twnotiow by Don Robinson RESOLUTIONS—1945 The most important ftew Year’s resolution any of us can make for 1945 is this: “I shall do everything in my power to help wtnr the war in' the shortest possible tiipe.” That, of course, is a very general promise. To mean anything it needs to be broken down into a series of shorter resolutions — a soi*t of war winning program for civilians. When the war first started a lot of us fidgeted around looking for things we might do to help. We were told New Year Greetin" v I saw the hills of the morning.

Since then, however, we have been 1 told about plenty of ways we can, help. Some of them may seem like little things — unimportant things — j but when multiplied by 130,000,000 they often assume tremendous pro-' portions. _ Buying" a few gallons of gasoline from a black market, for example/ may seem a trivial matter. But ifi every automobile owner did it our, economy could be paralyzed in no time. The black market operators and their patrons set the example for how to disrupt industry and perhaps lose the war. But, fortunately, their num ber of patriotic Americans who stick to the rules even when they see oth ers breaking them is great enough! to cause only minor disruptions.

GUILT—Blood All of those suggestions seem like pretty small things compared with what our men and women in uniform are doing. Yet there are plenty of people who consider themselves good Americans who will feel a real sense of guilt if they check over that list and realize how many of those vital 1 things they are ignoring. There is no reason why any healthy man or woman should not be willing to go through the simple process of giving blood to be used to save lives on battlefronts, yet the Red Cross seems to be having a difficult time to get nearly the amount of blood which is needed. There is no reason why materials; like tin and paper cannot be saved in every home in our country, yet millions don’t save them because it is too much bother. There is no reason why sales of bonds to individuals cannot always overreach the goals set, yet in one loan after another we fall short. This in spite of the fact that when Christ mas came along we had the money to buy the largest dollar volume of Christmas presents sold in years. Apparently there are a lot of peo ple in this country who still think the war is none of their business. It may be a little late to convince those people that their help is needed. But maybe a few New Year’s resolutions will help. Doughboys In Italy Eat Turkey Dinner Rome, Dec. 25.—^American dough boys in Italy celebrated with a big Christmas dinner except in snow- covered frontline trenches, where it! was impossible to bring up special food. But wherever it was possible, doughboys sat down to an old-fash ioned Christmas dinner of turkey, cranberry souce, mashed potatoes, gravy, fresh or , canned vegetables, dessert and coffee, plus olives, rad ishes and celery. received, hosts and hostesses closed turned to Greenwood after spending , j their receptions to Join the proces- some time with her mother, Mrs. Al-; 1 sion of callers at other “open ma Harvey. houses.’’ A succession of “open houses” and punch bowls minimized the courtesy accorded hostesses—in many cases —and even resulted in receptions being “crashed” by bibulous young men; these abuses led to the aban donment of the “open house” cus tom, New Year’s calls now being exchanged only by intimates and without any public announcement of intention t^-q^ce^ve.
