FAITH!
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?
