They say that barking dogs don't

that 7 There are a lot of bicycle riders
in Camden who are finding that
barking dogs spoil many a ride. In
other wdrds, people who ride bicycles
and are hampered by the "yap

are beginning to think in terms of
ammonia squirt guns.
From my own experience in peddling
,about the city?that is?on

the idea that every street is a dog

The wail of despair that emanated
from the capitol last Wednesday when
the gas rationing shoe began to pinch
the legislative cream puffs, while
laughable, was also a pitiful example
of patriotism in reverse to set before
the American people by our comicopera
Congress. Were it not so
tragic the antics of our cream puffs
would have the country rolling in the
aisles. As it is, it is becoming increasingly
evident that officialdom in j
j Washington considers itself immune
[from all restrictions that they art^o ,
freely imposing on the rest of the
country. Patriotism according /to
their formula is for the common people
and not for officials. It is unholy
or criminal to expect our senators
and congressmen tT> submit to the
same restrictions as you and I?

Arms Program
Washington. May 23.?The' United
States arms production program has
gone into high gear. A current report
Uy (ho office of Emergency Management
shows that wo aro now making
more planus in u month than wo did
In the-entire year of 1939. There iiaa
been an Increase in production of
aircraft of more than 50 per cent
since Pearl Harbor; and in cprtaiu
types of planes which are critically
needed, the monthly rate has more
than doubled. One type of tank ulso
Is being produced at a monthly rat?
equal to the annual rate last year.
Up to tho signing of tho Armistice
in November 1918, America produced
only tit tanks. By March 1919, production
had stepped up to 778. But
ifuring tlu) next fifteen years only 30
tanks were produced in this country,
and they all became obsolete before
the new war started.
But this is the bright side of the
picture. It is folly to overestimate our
own strength or to underestimate the
strength of our enemies. This gre^.t
conflict cannot be taken too sorloualy,
for this is tho War of Wars.
The next 100 days will bo tough.
That period will cover this country's
first summer at war, the first big test,
the probability of a tremendous axis
attempt for a knockout blow. We must
steel ourselves to learn of decisive
battles, heavy losses, sacrifices, and
shortages. Agriculture Marketing Administrator
Roy Hendrickson in a
little-noticed speech, for instance,
warned that it is the time to stop
thinking that there always will be
plenty of food and predicted serious
shortages of individual food items
because of shortages of farm labor,
fertilizer, insecticides, and transportation,
Selectee Leaves
Effective June 15, men who aro examined
and found tit for army service
will be inducted immediately and then
given a two weeks leave, according to
the War Department. During the two
weeks, in which the selectee can settTb
hls^affaira and say his gO^jftfc&es,
lie- will be in the enlisted reserve
corps, returning to active service when
his leave is up. The War Department
hopes this will eliminate hardships
which have been worked on some
men who have resigned their positions
and made full plans to enter the army
service only to find that they were
not to be accepted by the army. Under
the new plan no man will be faced
with the embarrassment of returning
home after saying farewell to his
family and friends.
"Women's Army"
I have received requests Trom ladies
for Information concerning the new
Women's Army Auxiliary Corps which
is to be formed. In about two weeks
those who wish to apply for Officer
Training schools may obtain applications
from their nearest U. S. Army
recruiting station. These applications
must be called for in person hut may
be returned by mail. Because the Officer
Training school candidates will
be recruited on a regional basis, no
applications sent to Washington or
to the War Department can be considered.
Each of the nation's nine
army corps areas will recommend 60
women for officer training, and the
first group will be selected from among
these candidates and sent to Fort
des "Moines, Iowa, for training. This
training will begin about July 16;
and the recruiting of auxiliaries (privates)
for the new corps, will begin
about three months thereafter. Officer
candidates must be from 21 to
45 years of age, with high school education
and good health, and be of excellent
character; Pay will run from
$21.00 a month for newly recru'ted
auxiliaries to $166.67 a month (and
subsistence) for First Officers. The
corps will free men for combat service.
Manpower
Man power officials estimate that
half of the men In the United States
between the ages of 20 and 65 will
be in the armed forces or In war industries
before the end of this year
if present plans progress as scheduled.
The task of moving workers Into war
jobs Is proceeding at the rate of 28,-1
000 a day. There were 7.000,000 persons
employed In war production In
January, and that figure has been
boosted to about 9,000,000. It must
be raised to 17,500,000?Including 2,000,000
women?by the end of the
year to meet President Roosevelt's
schedule. At the same time 2,000,000
of the finest men of our nation must
he absorbed Into the armed forces to
bring the Army strength to 3,000,000
and the Navy and Marine Corps
strength to 1,000,000. Selective Service
[ Director Hershey has said that the
Army eventually may be boosted to
6,000,000 or even 8,000,000.
8oldiers' Pay
We cannot possibly compensate our
fighting men for their services. Few
of the soldiers In our Army could be
hired on a dollars-and-cents basis to
endure the terrors of waK But they
fight because their fighting strength
Is necessary to preserve the civilization
of which they are a part. In large
measure their compensation will be
the blessings of peace and freedom
which muBt be regained on the world's
battlefields.
Bibles For Service Men
The War Department is going to
distribute1-!? Bible or Testament to
every soldier who wants one. This
action is without parallel In the history
of any country and Is evidence
enoogh that the War Department realizes
that this nation must depend on
divine guidance for Vlptory. Books
on military tactics do not alone suffice.
