all of the contributions were made
last Friday.

THE NEWBEBRY SUN
CONGRESSMAN HARE’S SON
IS WITH THE NAVY
The following is taken from the
Congressional Record. It is from a
speech of Hon, Butler B.- Hare jind
sets forth his views of Federal
trespass upon taxable resources of
individual states. It also discloses
the whereabouts of his son, James.
James has been in the navy several
months and he will be remembered
in this county as having made two
campaigns with his father:
“Mr. Hare. Mr. Chairman, the gen
tleman from Missouri [Mr. Cochran]
has raised a very important question.
It is one that will require a great
deal of thought and a great deal of
study. On the other hand, the gen
tleman from Pqnn^ylvalnia [Mir.
Rich] has suggested an equally im
portant inquiry, because I can see
that the increased taxe* we are hav
ing to pay for this war will impose
an extremely heavy burden on the
people of this country. Of course,
we must devise ways and means for
getting funds, wherever it is pos
sible, with the least possible pain.
Yet I can say, with the gentleman
from Pennsylvania, when we begin
to trespass upon the rights of the
States in the collection of taxes
there is a possibility »if destroying
a morale among the States—a poli
cy that may prove to be dangerous
to the future security of our Repub
lic.
As a matter of fact, I can vision
a time when, by a continued tres
pass upon the taxable resources of
the States by the Federal Govern
ment, we may reach the point where
they may feel that their preroga
tives, insofar as levying taxation is
involved, have been trespassed upon
to such an extent that they, in their
right and in their might under the
Constitution, may rise up and say,
"We will amend the Constitution
and take away from the Federal
Government the power that we vest
ed when we passed the sixteenth
amendment.”
That would be a tragedy, but it is
within the realm of conjecture.
Mr. Chairman, I now want to ad
dress myself a little to the discus
sion earlier this afternoon with ref
erence to the provision in this bill
for the T. V. A. I hold no brief for
the T. V. A. As a matter of fact,
I made up my mind last year I
would vote for no more appropria
tions to build other power dams in
that area until we wen: able to build
a dam or two to develop more elec
tric power in my section of the
country, where the Federal Power
Commission rast year said, in effect,
there was greater need for electric
power than any other part of the
country. But I am vitally interest
ed in making the necessary prepara
tions for promoting and successfully
terminating this war. And I take
this opportunity to say I have two
interests prompting me in this pro
gram, and two real interests in this
proposed appropriation: One is an
interest I owe to the 300,00 people I
represent. I have another interest
which is personal to me and possibly
to every other father in this coun
try similarly situated. This per
sonal interest was emphasized today
when I received a letter from one of
my two sons, “It was postmarked
“Pearl Harbor, T. H.” He said, in
part:
“I have been hers now 15 days
and am prepared and ready to
give the best I have got; but,
Dad, I would like to have the
best you have got to do it with.”
To me this appropriation of $12,-
000,000 is a mere bagatelle when I
think of the hundreds and thousands
—yes, millions — of fathers and
mothers who are willing to sacrifice
their sons in defense of all we hold
dear; and I feel we should give them
the very best we have to do it with.
I am glad, therefore, to have an op
portunity to vote for this appro
priation. I am glad U carries with
it $9,000,000,000 to aid our forces,
because I am convinced from the
testimony I have heard during the
past 2 years before the committees
of this House given by men from
practically every section of our 1
country and practically every sec- '
tion of the world, that in the final j
analysis this conflict is going to be j
terminated by that country or those i
people who have superiority in air |
power.
DEPENDENTS DF SERVICE MEN
MAY USE PARALYSIS FUND
After conferring with President
Roosevelt at the White House today,
Basil 6’Connor, president of the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis, announced a radical de
parture in the use of Chapters of
the National Foundation of the 50
the funds received by them this year
from the President’s Birthday Cele
bration.
Mr. O’Connor stated that the make
a still greater contribution to nation
al defense and morale, the National
Foundation would permit Chapters
to use wherever necessary a part of
the funds receibed by them this year
to assist the dependents of any men
in the military or naval service of
the United States who becomes a
victim of infantile paralysis while in
the service.
Mr. O’Connor said that the Trus
tees of the National Foundation
would issue regulations authorizing
this expanded defense activity of
the Chapters.

DYE FROM CANCELLED STAMPS
AIDS CRIPPLED CHILDREN
The members of Jasper Chapter, D.
A. R., are asking all their friend's to
save their cancelled stamps. Tear
off part of the envelope containing
the stamp and put it into a box. Do
not try to slip the stamp from the
envelope because by doing so, t*e
task of counting them is made More
difficult. The dye is extracted and
sold.
The collection of cancelled stamps
for the Queen’s Hospital in London
began some years ago, it is stated,
under the direction of Miss Edith
Bowdoin. When the second World
war started the demands on the Hos
pital grew so tremendously new
funds were urgently needed and the
: cancelled-stamp-saving plan spread
I world wide.
It is understood that the dye from
the cancelled stamps is sold and this
money is used to support beds in the
London Hospital.

A Pledge To Dodge
Possible discontinuance of automotive production
as of February 1, 1942, and for an indefinite per
iod, to facilitate the prosecution of war, makes
necessary a clear statement of our position and
dtermination to be of service to the very limit
of our capacity.
In recognition of our full share of responsibility
for the maintenance of maximum efficiency in the
operation of commercial vehicles and necessary
passenger car transportation, we the Dodge and
Plymouth Dealers of Newberry, therefore, pledge
ouselves as follows:
1. To counsel conscientiously with our
tpatrons as to the care and efficient
maintenance of their cars and trucks
as a means of maximum mileage at
lowest cost an dover the longest pos
sible period.
2. To maintain the most adequate stocks
of factory-approved parts possible un
der war-time restrictions, so that
prompt replacement can be made as
the need arises.
3. To retain in good condition our full
equipment as assurance of efficient,
economical handling of all service re
quirements.
and Plymouth Owners:
4. To continue the employment of compe
tent mechanics trained in factory-ser
vice methods and thoroughly familiar
with the operation of Dodge and Ply
mouth products.
In a sense today, the responsible owner of any
automotive vehicle, from a single passenger car to
a fleet of trucks, represents “America’s Third Line
of Defense.” Our Army, Navy, and Air Corps are
training man power for first line duties. Our in
dustries, especially the huge automobile plants,
busy with production of war materials of every
nature, constitute the second line.
Third-line defense duty means that c^fr and
truck owners, who in normal times would exchange
their vehicles for the latest models, will feel it their
obligation to maintain their present means of
transportation in continuous mechanical efficiency.
It is reassuring that the Supply Priorities and
Allocations Board in a recent statement makes
clear that “while the civilian economy must be
stripped of non-essentials, it must be kept in good
running order.”
To the full extent of our ability and resources,
we repeat this pledge to the Dodge and Plymouth
car owners, and to the operators of Dodge Job-
Rated Trucks in this community.
