r ONE DAY AT A TIME!
By Ruth Taylor
j Great times call for great peo|
pie. But it -"isn't tlu* .crisus. that
V self-control and patience. Ut is
the every day grind of monoton>Jt
! ous, disagreeable tasks.' We can.
i starvU. sacririces, but it's the giv.
irig "Aip of little" things which no
tme knows about that .wears our
tempers thin.
T~ " it's the pfififir^toning detail on
4.--H -holiflg^y evening?after weeks
of nothing happening. It's the
first aid class on the first spring
day. It's the storp being out of

the warning of the danger hour

of the weakness in the fortifications,
the break in the Hue?and.
v ~ ^ust as on the battlefront, so on
the home front, it moaifSnWe must
cail upifhe reserves.
Why"it it dangerous? Because
through the gaps of discontent
may come the saboteurs, those
self-same sneak thieves who destroyed
the countries of Kurope.
They slow up work by saying?
'"You have done your share. Wait
till the other fellow cati hes up
with you." They delay the wai J
effort by whispering. "Just this
one day off'. You are only one.
Jj, You won't be missed." Tne*
waste material by saying, "You';
can save tomorrow. Have what;
i . you want today."
Then when the will is weakened j
come the tank troops.? "{ Ivery one |

"Any one can carry his burden

hard, for one day. Any one can
live sweetly, patiently, lovingly
purely, till the sun goes down
And this is all that life ever really

It was. seven oi eight years a^o

FARM WORKERS -j
ARE NOT FROZEN !j

In a letter to Dr. W. H. Jer- ?j
najrin, chairman of the executive .|
board of the Fraternal Council of )j
Netri'o Churehi'K in A nwrien \1i>r
cdith C; Wilson, in charge of Kx- ,
tension farm labor program, made .j
it clear that Public Law 43 in no
way restricts the movement of *1
farm workers. Mr. Wilson's let- *j
ter was in reply to one from Dr. ]
Jcrnagiu requesting a clarifica- *1
tion of the law.
Said Mr. Wilson. "As passed '
Public Law 1.3 places no limita- .j
tions upon the movement of individual
farm workers-tinder their *j
own resources or with the assis-^.]
tanee of employer-fanners o f*.j
other individuals. The onlv proi
hibition is upon the use of funds j
provided in the .Farm Labor Supply
Act for the payment of traits !
portation without the written
consent of the County Agent." *i
That is to say. if a worker has j
; .is -own money or if he can bur- !
! row the money, ho is free to move :
from one county to another or Ij
-from one state t(, another.' How- j
ever, he cannot be moved from- j
I one county to another at the ex- ,
! pense of the Government without
I the consent of the County Agent. J
Mr. Wilson said further in his j
| letter to Dr. .Jernagin: "It is im- *j
| portant in time of stress that ev
vi.v imi i? nuiii i n-nu n nil ou. .vol
