Oh for a faith that will not shrink Though pressed by every foe; That will not tremble on the brink Of any earthly woe. A faith that shines more brigrht and clear When tempests rage without; That when in darkness knows no fear, In dangenfeels no doubts Lord, give us a faith as this, . And then whatever may come We will taste even here the hallowed bliss Of our eternal home. ARMY DAY! Today, Friday, April 6, is Army Day. Authorized by Congress and invoked each year by Presi dential Proclamtion, Army Day in this Spring of 1946 is a day for great rejoicing, even as it is a day of heavy-hearted sadness^and solemnity. It is fitting that Americans should rejoice on this day in the knowledge that our victorous armies are sweeping re lentlessly forward to a glorious peace. And it is with a special sort of pride that we reflect upoh the young men and women of .America who constitute the military and naval i^ght of this nation, and whose Valor and unflinching devo tion are making a victorious peace possible. Yet we must pauser, sadly, to reflect upon the thousand' upon thousands of our own sons who have died, and will die to make victory possible. ‘ We must give thought to the millions of our troops suf fering untold privation on foreign fields, defending our land and our spiritual heritage unto death if need be. In the full pride of our. Americanism we must resolve to ■ continue to shoulder our share of the burdens of war in order that victory may be speedily attained. In every community in our nation there is a home front job to be done. From the roaring foundries and blast fur naces in our cities to^ the broad sweep of farm woodlands that link them, there is a' job for every man to do. In our own community the choice is simple. Here grows that great product of nature that is one of our nation’s most vital military assets. Here grow our forests. Here are the high grade woods that pulpwood workers cut into the very sinews of War. Our special job, therefore, is to produce the pulpwood from these forests that keep our men supplied with ammuni tion,, clothing, food—in fact, 700,000 tools of warfare. America is not only a unity of states. It is from the united will and effort of all her people in all her states, that America draws her strength. LOOKING TO THE FUTURE Everyone who eats would do well to ponder figures recently commented upon by livestock agent, J. R. Hawkins, of Columbia, showing an alarming drop in hogs slaughtered at the nation’s 32 leading market centers. For the past few weeks the slaughter has run only about 45 per cent of fhe same period last year. With a growing portion going to the armed forces, as it should and must, civilians need to look more to back-yard poultry Hocks, eggs, etc., to fill in their meat needs. A similar situation seems to apply to commercial veget ables, which lends new importance to home gardens, accord ing to A. E. Schilletter, chairman of the ^ate Gardening committee. Indications are that the scarcity of labor will affect adversely the truck acreage along our coast. The time to see these things is in advance, and now is the riine to start doing something about them, if serious scarcities are to be avoided. Poultry men say that February and March are excellent times to start with chicks, and this same period embraces the season in whidh gardens^e'prepared and planted to most things. A word to the wise should be sufficient,—^The State. The Turk,' our eleventh-hour recruit, is not expected to participate in the fight. While standing by, however, he might roll us a few million cigarets. “Goebbels distrusts Himmler and vice versa, both dis trust Ribbontrop, and Goering suspects the lot.” Such is life among the hig<her Huns. Complicated, isn’t it? f It happened in Sheffield, England: A dutiful husband had had a rise in pay six weeks before his wife told him. We know all about Morgenthau’s other side. But can he dish it out? LEARN TO FLY At The Woodwaril Airport if if if (k Soatfaern Airways E.
