If the same min reports the news bulletins every half hour for an eight-hour day for ten years, he will make a total of 68,400 such announcements. Almost an equal amount of sym pathy should be extended to those hardy souls who plan to listen to these announcers fbr the duration —who aye going to permit their emotions to be lifted and dropped several times a day as the news man reports the hourly successes and failures of all the armies of the world. Some of these listeners may be Time For Civilians To Pause And Re view The Situation Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 3.—With America locked in a death grip with three of the most barbarous nations the world has ever known, BY REV.

The demand for power, because of our nation’s unprecedented eager listeners. Even in this day of mass production of news, events don’t happen fast enough to satiate the appetite of radio. That’s why radio headlines must be created through the voice of the announcer and a news item, which might be an inside short in production program, is much a newspaper, is sent flying greater than it has ever been be- through the ether with all the lore.

Later we may have to do more cutting down on the use of elec tricity. In some cases clocks may he advanced still further. It may he that signs, store-windows and .some of our home lights may be ordered blacked-out. Meanwhile, let’s do all we can voluntarily to cut down on the use of power—and don’t forget to set your clocks forward, not back ward, on February 9. —Buy Defense Bonds— -xx- TODAY and .Don Robinson SCOOPS gossip It is a peculiarity of the human race that most of us consider it a about leather in our caps to get news first—whether it is war news, news of a marriage, a birth or a «ieath. We get real satisfaction out of telling our neighbors some thing which they haven’t yet lieard. In America it sometjmes seems ness of a soap sud. CENSORSHIP sh—h—h! Censorship, now in force in the United States, calls for a revamp ing of our whole mental attitude toward news reports. Instead of passing a news item on from its source to the people as if it were a hot potato, news casters and newspapers are obli gated to mull over it a little, de cide if it’s an item which fits the rules of censorship, and stifle it if it might contain information valuable to the enemy. Radio listeners and newspaper readers, to encourage this neces sary withholding of information, must revise their news appetites so that they find such stories distasteful. Nothing will make the censorship job work better than the expression by the public of a real antipathy toward all news which could conceivably aid Hitler. News of troop movements, news of the sailing of ships, news of the war work being done in specific factories—such things must not be oublished or talked making only slight sacrifices in comparison to the boys who have gone to battle—so intent on de feating the enemy who threatens our homes that they are prepared to give even their lives. Middleman between the pro ducers at home and the combat forces is the Quartermaster Corps —trained during peacetime to supply front line troops under the most difficult of conditions. Each officer and soldier in the Quartermaster Corps is armed and he is ready to fight to get supplies through to Infantrymen^ Cavalrymen, Engineers, Artillery men and other combat forces to assure that they remain the best fed and best clothed in the whole world. So let us resolve to deliver the goods to the Quartermaster Corps. Every farmer, every manufacturer owes it to his country to investi gate fully the manner in which his products can be used by the armed forces and to do everything in his power to forget personal welfare and profits so that this great nation may continue as a guiding light for the world. The Quartermaster Corps has shown, more than once, that it is on the job and can supply the Army. It is now up to us to sup ply the Quartermaster Corps. x Kuclzu Seeds To Be Scarce has spread through the world. What a pity it has been tragically interrupted by appalling war!
