Friday, July 26, 1941 TIME TO SAVE Ah banking authorities are pointing out, hhvlug on the 'part of the public 1h especially Important now. Having does two things, both of which are desirable and necessary. First, It htilldH up u backlog for the future when the defense program will he over and we will have to return to Home sort of normal basis of living. Second. It diverts money from the consumer goods mnrkot?-and that, in turn, helps build up the stockH of materials needed for military preparedness. Today the government Is urging the people to purchase the special defense bonds and stamps newly lsaucd by the Treasury. The banks of America, knowing full well the gravity of our economic problems, are cooperating fully lu this endeavor, without u nickel of profit to thornHelves. When we loan to the government, we are directly aiding defense, we are Investing In the safest known form of security, and wo are helping Inflation. Bvery family should mako defenso bond purchases an lutegrul part of Its budget of them unless It la absolutely unavoidable. Why Handbill# Fail A merchant will make a complete coverage of mulling circulars, only to he blandly Informed by several In the territory covered that they received no circular. The answer Is not that the mailman has been lax. It lies lu the essential failure of the circular mailing to serve the purpose Intended. Circulars come unexpected and On- ( Invited to the average home. There Is no particular aversion to the circular. It Is Just that It Is something not looked forward to. This comes partly from Its Irregular appearance and partly because It Is entirely devoted to the sender's Interests. Contrasting, a newspaper Is Invited. More than that. It Is paid for. The subscriber comes to the awareness that It Is Issued as much In bin Interest as In the Interest of the firms who fill Us advertising columns. The news columns, as well as the advertising features, hold the attention of every member of the family. The man of the house doesn't stufT It In tils pocket, or leave It forgotten In the car or In the buru, before oth r members of the family have bed heir look at It. The news, even nor? than advertlsluK holds the paper * u the home until all have rend it 1 The newspaper is expected. It t omes on regular days. If It doesn't i irrlvu on schedule, questions uro iskod. If 1'a hus mislaid the paper, Via wants to know about it. She can't i >e expected to Inquire about Jones' t lrcular, however, because even if I die did want to see It. she probably lad no Inkling that one had come to i [heir mall box. I The newspaper offers a regular service. You can depend on it being Issued next week and the week after. It doea not require a speclul event or < a special combination of events to bring It out. It runs u regular weekly messenger service for all who are to use and pay for it. It is not an excursion special. Hecauso Of its regularity of Issue and development of reuder Interest, the service offered by the newspaper Is of definite value. This would be true, even if the paper never had a line or word designed to promote a legitimate community activity. It ofTers a definite public service.? l.adysmlth (Wis.) News. RUSSIAN ARMY FIGHTING More than four weeks have elapsed since the Germany army, without declaring war began an Invasion of Soviet Russia. When the fighting began few experts conceded the Soviet more than an outside chance to alow up the Nazi panzer divisions and practically everybody believed that Hitler would have his triumph within five or six weeks at the most. News from the vast battlefront continues conflicting but even German communiques do not claim that the Red army has been pounded to pieces. The outcome of tho war cannot bo determined by the extent of Russian land that is occupied because the objective of the campaign, as outlined by tho Germans. Is nothing short of the total destruction of the Red army. So far, the Soviet forces has resolutely refused to bo overwhelmed. Russlun forces have fought desperately. bitterly and stubbornly, according to the testimony of Herlln, which continues to report heavy fighting all along tho front, and especially In the critical areu of the center, around Smolensk. There Is little Indication, as yet, that Soviet militarized units have been wiped out and the Red air force continues to battle the invaders. What may bo the state of Russian reserves, of men and material, Is unknown. German troops, advancing slowly against the massed strength of the Soviet, have not yet found the undefended gap through which to pour a fast-moving mechanized unit for the sweep against the flanks. It Is Impossible to estimate the probuble length of Soviet resistance hut It Is certain that Germany has not yet won tho war. Nazi pressure, slowly Increasing, mny wear down Soviet resistance, or deplete Russian reserves, but unless this is accomplished the battle may be prolonged. At present, at least there are few signs of u Soviet collapse.?Orangeburg Times?Democrat. TEN POINTS ON ALUMINUM 1.
