Now, for the first time in years, both, farmers and manufacturers can work for the biggest possible yield without thinking about the market. This year they can sell all tbey can produce. As things look now, this condition is due to keep up for some time, but we can't count on its lasting forever. Certainly nobody Wants a prosperity built on war.' So it's high time that everybody concerned?and that is everybody? gave some thought to keeping things running after the war. You're busy, we know. So are we. The important thing right now is seeing that there's enough of everything to go around. But we've been devoting a little atten don to the problem! of the future, too. We feel that the people who have the producing job to do can contribute a lot to the aolution of those problems. ' And we hope that you, too, busy as you are with growing more food than this country's ever produced, will be turning these problems over in your mind. For if America's farmers and manufacturers, working together, can't find a way to keep the richest country on earth producing enough for everybody, and let the producers make a living in the process?if they can't, why then,' who can?

' A CAMDEN BOY WOUNDED IN ACTION; 1 OF 3 FIGHTING BROS. i (Continued From First Page) duty In the Navy. His wishes were granted and within a tow days he. will bo assigned to shore duty for the duration. The youngest member of the fighting Camden Hinsons left high school and enlisted in the Navy at 17 in January, 1942. He was aboard the Vincennes when it and three other cruisers, the Quincy and the Astoria of the U. S. Navy and the Canberra of the Australian Navy, fought it out shell for shell with a superior Jap naval force off Savo Island. All four cruisers went down with their guns ablaze, but before they went to the bottom of the wartorn Southwest Pacific, they had ( shattered the enemy fleet, turned its i remnants back and saved the copvoy; of transports and supply ships back-, ing up the Marines on Guadalcanal. | Hinson, describing the battle, says' it lasted about thirty minutes. At the end there was havoc everywhere.1 The huge cruiser Vincennes' super-j structure was afire. There were flames below deck. The vessel was shipping tons of water through the huge gaps in her hull where the Jap torpedoes had found their mark. She was listing badly to port. Hinson, lying wounded on the deck near his anti-aircraft gun, tried to stand up, but couldn't. The order.' came: "Aabndon ship." He crawled across the deck to the port side and as the huge steel hulk settled slowly to port, rolled himself off into the Pacific as the sea came up even with the deck. When the ocean began washing the decks of the cruiser, scores of other officers and men, injured and uninjured alike, cloated into the sea. The battered ship was so full of sea water when it sank, that miraculously for the crew of the warship, it did not capsize. It merely eased over and died. There wasn't even the semblance of undertow. Hinson said ho didn't enjoy the sensation of rolling off the cruiser, because his left leg was paining badlv and he wasn't too sure that he could swim with it. "Was tho water hot or cold?" he was asked. "It was kind of pleasant." he replied. 'and made my leg feel better. I didn't have a life jacket, but managed to swim around Tor a goodwhile, until I ran into two sailors clinging to an empty five inched ammunition crate.
