[ The I'iiiI?<l States has called lip
( millions of men and has begun tho
! gigantic t.isk of sending them to the
world's hallhdionts and of supplying
i hem at tor. t lu-y get there. Congress
has appropriated more than $20U.00O,iiiiii.imiii
for and has authorized the
construction of thousands of aircraft,
millions of tons of shipping and Innumerable
It emu of armament and
equipment.
The most important front in the
world at present in respect to the
over-all situation Is in Russia. There,
despite the brave and stubborn defense
of the Red Army, the Germans
have Knitted 600,000 ntlles of territory,
a region larger than France, Germany
and Brltuin combined, with 50,000,000
inhabitants. Germany and the
countries she has occupied have a
total population of 300,000,000 ? although
many of the conquered people
will be a hindrance rather than a
help to the Nazis in the prosecution
of the Axis war,
From the Aleutians to the Solomon
Islands, American forces are taking
the offensive and daily the plans
for some form of "second front"
movement in Europe grow.
Besides this groat world-wide war?
the seriousness of which even yet
many do not realize?momentouB battles
of the past pale Into insignificance.
Elections
With the terrible reality of war
beginning to come home to them,
American people have taken little Interest
in elections this year. Although
It is more important than ever before
that they choose carefully those who
will represent them, the outcomes of
Individual contests seem relatively
unimportant against the background
of total war.
Educated Army
The American soldier of 1942 is the
best educated fighting man In the
world today. With 4.000.000 citizensoldiers
now being trained, the educational
level of the United States Army
Is higher than that of any army ever
1 put into the field, and noteahly higher
than our army of the first World war.
Today 11 per cent of the white selectees
called to service have had
a college education. This was true
t>f only five per renf of those called
in the other World war. Today 30
per cent of the citizen army are high
m hool graduates, as compared with
four per cent for the first World war.
Today '2s per cent have one or more
scars ot high school training, as compared
with 12 per (cut In 1917. The
raising of the educational level is due
larg'dy !o a spectacular increase in
educational opportunities throughout
the United States during the past
score of years.
Dista nee
The United Nation's tight against
the Axis Is primarily a battle against
distance. A better conception of thej
tremendous geographical handicaps
which the allies must overcome can
be gained from statistics on the time
consumed by awcaco American supply
vessels on round-trips to key
points. For a voyage to Archangel and
return, five months are required: to
Australia, lour months; to Alaska, one
month; to the Middle East or to India.
five months: and to Ireland, two
months. To keep the Russians fighting.
the I'nited Nations must ship
supplies 2.400 miles from Rritain and
5,40(1 miles from New York. To supply
forces in the middle and in the
eastern Mediterranean. Rritain must
send ships 12.000 miles around the
Cape of Rood Hope To reach the
American base in Eritrea. 90 ships
must travel 11,254 miles. Chungking
is about 16.000 miles from New York
by land and water, if you can get
there at all, and Sydney. Australia,
is about 7.500 miles from San Francisco.
W. A. V. E. S.
Applications now are being accepted
only for appointments as officers
and officer candidates in the Woman's
Reserve of the 1". S. Naval Reserve.
Naval recruiting stations are
expected to begin accepting applications
for apprentice seamen about
September 1, and actual enrollment
is expected to begin in late October.

PULLETS WILL NEED
WELL BALANCED FEED
"The necessity for growing out
husky, heavy-bodied pullets as efficient
Food-for Freedom egg producers
cannot he overemphasized if these
pullets are to strike the egg-laying
pace required of them by Uncle Sam
to provide enough eggs for our allies,
military forces, and domestic needs,"
says county agent McCarley.
"The ideal growing ration should
contain enough protein to assure full
growth and weight before egg production
begins. Hut, in addition to
receiving a properly balanced ration,
they must be allowed to eat all they
want.
"Next in importance to feeding Ui
range. The pullets should be given
ample summer range where there is
plenty of grass and shade", he said.
"Plenty of the right kind of feed,
ulong with shade, grass, and water,
will produce sturdy pullets capable
of turning out the eggs needed this
fall and winter to meet our vital wartime
requirements."
Colored Citizen Dead

Whiskey Is Now
On Way Out
Washington, Aug. 14. ? CongressTOf^p
Joseph R. Bryson, of South
(Carolina pronounced foe of liquor,
today saw his old enemy taking the
last count under the impact of war.
Mr. Bryson recently communicated
with Donald Nelson, chairman of
the W. P. B., and aBked distilleries
be converted into plants to manufacture
alcohol for synthetic rubber. Mr.
Nelson's spokesman now replies, saying
that is exactly what he is doing
and that it is expected that John
Barleycorn will soon be knocked out
of the ring.
E. W. Reid, chief of the chemical
division of the War Production board,
writing for Mr. Nelson, said:
"I wish to advise you that steps
have been taken to convert the
whiskey distilleries to the production
of ethyl alcohol.
"The instructions to- the chemicals
branch, first by the Office of Reduction
Management and later by the
War Production board, are that these
distilleries should be converted without
the use of critical materials. We
have had engineers in the field making
changes in the distilleries and
obtaining second hand equipment.
"At the present time, we are obtaining
around 120,000,000 gallons per
year from whiskey distilleries, and
it is estimated that after November
I. this rate will be around 240,000.000
to 250.000.000 gallons per year and
that a 11 of the distilleries will he producing
ethyl alcohol. At present all
distilleries that can produce 190 proof
alcohol are not. permitted to produce
whiskey; and if necessary, changes;
can he made in other distilleries and
they will not he permitted to produce
anything but industrial alcohol.
In addition the eastern seaboard
plants that heretofore have used
blackstrap molasses have and are being
converted to the use of grain
alcohol and idle distilleries are being
brought into production.
Home Owners Are
Urged To Hurry
South Carolina home owners and
plant operators who wish to convert
their oil-burning furnaces to coal may
now get the necessary grates and
other metal equipment needed without
government restriction, D. E. McDuffie,
district manager of the Columbia
War Production board office
announced this week.
McDuffle said WPB has allocated
II.009 tons of iron and steel for furnace
conversion purposes. As a result,
he added, home owners and
plant operators need only place their
orders for the necessary equipment
with local plumbing and heating contractors
dealers. No government
forms of applications are required.
Women To Drive
School Buses
Camden, N. C., Aug. 17.?'When a
wartime shortage of school bus drivers
was threatened In Camden county,
the mothers of children In school
stepped In to help superintendent E.
P. Leary solve the problem.
Six of them volunteered for duty
took courses conducted by the state
highway safety division and received
certificates as full-fledged bus
drivers.
Their husbands also took the driving
course prescribed in the safety
division's school and will serve as
substitutes for their wives.
Leary said the women would handle
the buses on days when the men were
working on the farm, and men would |
take over when the weather prevented
them from plowing and other
farm chores.
The mothers, ranging in age from
24 to 47, are all expert drivers, Leary
said.
Child Hangs Self
Accidentally
Miami, Fla., Aug. 17.?While three
playmates admiringly watched his two
realistic imitations of a wild west
execution, a 13-vear-old negro hanged
himself on the front porch of a
house in nearby Coconut Grove today.
Constable George B. Hardle rt)
ed that Daniel McKensey said t?'
friends: "Watch me hang myself!
cowboys used to hang outlawi."
The boy fastened his belt an
his neck, attached the buckle I
nail In the wall, and Jumped 4
couch. Feet dangling in the air,
grinned for a few moments, that
gan struggling.
The other boys told Hardle I
they thought Daniel's desperate )i
ing was part of his performance,
the time adult neighbors bed
aware of the tragedy Daniel '
dead.
A farm laborer conscript by
Nazis In Posen poisoned the el
