The elimination of Mussolini as dictator of Italy unquestionably was a severe blow to Hitler, both psychologically and militarily, de spite Berlin’s attempt to label the debacle a “domestic affair.” The fall of the fascist dictator was extremely good news—and a welcome omen. But, despite the wave of optimism over the na tion, the war is far from over. Americans need only to consult a georgraphy to see how much is left to be done. It is well to remember that we are fighting to recover positions we have lost. We lost New Guinea and the Solomons. We are fight ing to regain them. We are forced to fight for a bridgehead in Europe because four years ago we did not strengthen France. We shall have to get back to the Philippines to recapture Burma and to reopen China. Only a short time ago Vice Admiral Horne made the state ment that we would be fighting Japan until 1949. That statement was not made without due thought. Consult your geography. De spite our successes in the south west Pacific, we are not much nearer to Tokyo. And remember that it ,took six months, many lives and an awesome amount of bitter fighting to capture the little island of Guadalcanal. An other five months passed before the Allies were ready to start their second offensive movement with the final capture of Rabaul as the objective. Until MacArthur’s drive against the Japanese on New Guinea the fighting had been more defen sive than offensive. The strategy then had been to prevent th' Japs from attacking Australia from Port Moresby, from seizin., the Solomons and making th ; east coast of Australia vulnerable and to save the life-line of men and materials moving from Am erica to Australia. Only in the past few month; have we taken the real offensive in the southwest Pacific. A ma > of Asia which shows the terri - tory held by Japan will prove t > you that our gains since the star, of the offensive constitute a ver small area. However, our victoric ; are more than geographical mat - ters. We have destroyed enemy el • fectives in larger proportion than the size of the recaptured area.; would indicate. Germany is not beaten. We d > not know when she will be bea 1 - en. The unconditional surrender of Italy would not necessari y give the Allies a superlative in vasion base. Hoover, it would make the Balkans easier to handle. We must not allow our victorie-. to lull us into a feeling of false security. They must not be per mitted to slow down the war ef fort. In that road lies danger. It is the common goal to end war as quickly as possible with minimum loss of life and materi als. Thus eternal vigilance is a; essential as always. The American people will do well to heed the advice of Vic 2 Admiral Horne when he looks ix 1949.

S. WAR BONDS! GALLANT-BELK COMPANY HOME OF BETTER VALUES GREENWOOD, S. C. Home dehydrating is especially important in wartime because it does not require sugar—nor the metals, rubber, and other materi als used in more common types of food preparation. Dehydrating is not a difficult job. However, it does take time—and constant attention, especially at the begin ning and the end of the process. Directions for dehydrating several kinds of fruits and vegetables are given in our new Circular 243, en titled. “Home Dehydration.” Fall vegetables must be planted in time. Every day counts, as one day’s delay is one link near er “Jack Frost.” Cultivate and clean up ground where vegetables have matured. Decaying vegetables and vegetable plants are likely to increase di sease and insect damage next season. Gathering vegetables, fruits, and flowers when ready encourages longer bearing. Sweet corn loses some of its sugar if gathered and allowed to stand long enough to wilt before cooking. Suggestions One thing should be attended to promptly when growing ruta bagas, and that is to thin them to a stand just as soon as possi ble. This should be done when the plants are not over 2 inches high. Give them plenty of dis tance, leaving them 8 to 7.0 inches apart in the drill, one in a place. This prompt thinning will prevent them from becoming shanky. Plants will then be stocky and the roots well-shaped. Make Plantings Of The Following: Turnips—Rutabagas — Plant at once.
