I ■ fTPANI) Telephones THEATER 2244-2557 ■ J? Hastings. Mich. 1. Why isn't the plant ready now? Last Two Days THURSDAY and FRIDAY JANUARY 6 and 7 Answer—Because the Government requires that there be sixty percent of the total capacity of plant lockers rented for one year in advance and the money on deposit in local banks before they will release the equipment. Remedy—The sooner you make your reservation, the sooner we will reach our total requirement. Irving Berlin's all Technicolor ma»lerpi»ce "THIS IS THE ARMY" SATURDAY ONLY. JANUARY 8 DOUBLE FEATURE ATTRACTION 2. What do the lockers cost per year? Answer—There are three prices. $15.00. $14.00 / and $12.50 per year The location governs the price For example the $15.00 lockers are located close to the floor so that ape does not have to reach too high for the contents within the drawer The next, or $14 ' lockers, will be door type instead of drawer and it will be necessary to reach into the cabinet to take out the consents. The $12.50 price will be the top locker in each tier and is also a door type and is used mostly os bulk storage where a person has two lockers. Bela Lugiai and Nina Foch , THE RETURN OF THE VAMPIRE' ARIZONA TRAIL" SUNDAY and MONDAY. JANUARY 9-10 Rovalind BumcU and Brian Aherne "WHAT A WOMAN" 3. What amount of food will the lockers hold? Answer—They ore approximately six cubit feet in size, or comparable to the standard home refrigera­ tor. They will also hold approximately 300 Ibj. of meat. Bargain matinee Sunday 1:00 to 3:00 TUES.. WED.. THURS.. JANUARY U:12-13 4. What is the cost of processing meat? • Answer—This cost is governed by present ceiling prices and we are only able to give the approximate cost at this time. This cost is nbw two and one-half cents per pound The vegetable and fruit processing prices are subject to change before the time comes to handle this type of food and we will not quote prices now. Rendering lard, smoking and curing ham and bacon and making sausage is not included in the two and one-half cent price above for regular meat processing charge. It is optional if customer desires to smoke and cure their own meat. 5. Where can application be made for lockers? Answer—Day or night at Coffee Shop; Saturday during banking hours at Hastings City Bank; dur­ ing show hours at Strand Theatre. Any further information desired may'be had by . leaving name ond oddres^at any of the obove places. or by telephoning Mr. Henry Vohlsing at any of the following numbers in Hastings: 2244, 2557, 2632, - 2103. . It must be remembered that this is to be a large plant, ranking with the larger city plants and requires a higher percentage of applications in advance. hence the delay in getting started.

Don’t let them see you cry!” whispers the older Red Cross Worker. And as the litters of wounded come up t the gangplank of the hospital ship, the young novice swallows, shuts her eyes for an instant, and nods. They don’t want our tears . . . these boys of ours. Not though they face a future that at first can seem harder than death. They want our courage . . . they want our resolution. Courage and resolution to match and sustain their own. Courage to keep us going on with this great task—no matter what it may cost these coming months in blood and sweat. Resolution to back the boys who are taking these risks, with every breath that’s in us, and every dollar that we can rake or scrape. The boys realize, far more than we can, how fast war uses up machines, ammuni­ tion, equipment. The guns and tanks that took Hill 609 in Tunisia had to be rebuilt or replaced before they could thunder down upon Messina and Naples. The landing barges that brought our men t(4 the perilous beaches cfzSalerno must be repaired and reoutfitted before they can drive ashore in France or the Balkans. We cannot win the war, with the bullets our bonds bought last summer. Thasc bullets are already buried in Jap and Nazi graves. And another horde of the desperate, cornered enemy is coming on. Bullets and shells . . . tanks and guns . . . ships and planes. These are the • things the boys are asking us for . . . the boys at the front and the boys behind them who will never again do things with two hands, or walk with two feet, or see with two eyes. They don’t ask us to give what they have given. They only ask us to skip the easy tears ... to invest our money instead of spending it ... to lend the men money price of Victory. ' v,They only ask us to buy Wai Bonds. KEEP ON BACKING THE ATTACK! • A ’ WALLDORFF b SON STRAND AND BARRY •THEATRES HODGES JEWELRY FRANDSEN'S B. A.

I was In the thick of the fighting on Tarawa and came through it O.K. I guess I was Just lucky. I hope I’m half as lucky in the next campaign. So much for Tarawa. You nave read all about it in the newspapers nnd from what I rend. Uiey got the story pretty straight. I was in New Zealand before we hit Tarawa. I left the States last February nnd was In NZ. up until now. I liked N.Z. all right, but n . lot of the fellows didn’t like it at all. It was pretty crowded around Wellington with service men. both US. and N.Z. There arc a lot of women in NX. in some women’s branch of Uie service. The W A.A.F.’s have the best looking Rirls. I believe. When the Marines first came to N.Z. the girls were pretty backward ns to making themselves up pretty, clothes and colors, which were becoming to them. etc. But after we got there we gave them the word and by the time we left they were looking more like stateside girts everyday.

Bethlehem in '43 built 380 fighting and cargo ships. ~ Value of the year's program equivalent to 1,000 Liberty ships. SHIP A DAY," with a number to spare, was the record production delivered by Bethlehem in 1943 to the United States Navy, the British Navy and the U. S. Maritime Commission. This program was the greatest in magnitude and diversity ever accomplished by a private builder in the world’s history. It marked the fulfillment of a promise made by Bethlehem a year ago to build in 1943 an^ average of "a ship a day" of major fighting and cargo craft. The list of ships includes aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, virtually every type of fighting craft, as well as a large number of Liberty ships and other cargo vessels. In addition, Bethlehem ship repair yards converted, repaired, and serviced over 7,000 vessels, a vital contribution toward keeping thc Allied fleets in fighting trim. Measuring the program by Liberty ships," a battleship is equal to forty.’ Libcrty~ships;’’and thc value of the year's work in Bethlehem’s shipbuilding division..was,the .equivalcntvof^over^ 1,000 Liberty ships. / Part of National Program — Bethlehem is permitted to publish these'facts'as’part "of our’country’s^ 38 TYPES OF SHIPS * Bethlehem’s total wartime shipbuilding'prd^ gram includes approximately 1,000 fighting, and cargo ships, 70% of the program being in fighting craft, and 30% in cargo.Thcie are of. 38 different types including thc following; FIGHTING CRAH 'JS.OOO-Ton Battleship 13.00O-Too Heavy Cniixen 10,000-Toa Light Cruiser* ’ 6,000-Too Light tf 2.100-Ton Destroyan' 1.620-Too DcMiujcts; Destroyer Exort* Tink-Lxnding Craft , Infantry-Landing Craft 14,700-Ton Aircraft 27,000-Toa Aircraft Citr/m, CMGO SHIM Liberty Shins . ------Victory Ship* * Single-Screw Tsaium C-1B Cargo Ship* .7Twia-ScrswTaahm.

We congratulate the men and women in the Bethlehem organization, in shipyards, steel plants, • factories, mines, and in every division, all of" whom have had a part in this effort. Harder Task Ahead — The year’s work in Bethlehem’s shipyards, steel mills and other departments has been done by 300,000 men and women. Mo^e will be needed. Already a larger shipbuilding task has been assigned co us for 1944. We shall undertake that job .with thc knowledge that it must ba dooe, 'at maximum pace, to hasten the day of Victory BETHI1EHEM?!

How did we get that way—again? Why did it hap- ’ > pen here, when it couldn't happen here? Well, let's look back—let’s see how it did happeu. Bonds weren't good enough for us. Savings banks weren't excit­ ing as brokers' offices. We were trying to compress our lives-y-to squeeze the juice of three score years and ten into a decade. We wanted for next to nothing the things our fathers had worked and sweated and saved for. My wife's clothes had to l>c better, smarter—more expensive than your wife’s—and her jewelry, too. You spend a thousand dollars for your car? So what? I’m spending thirteen hundred for mine. (On time.) And say—looka my new radio! Twenty-two tubes, three loud speakers, record changer, home recorder, ami three short-wave bands! Tlie old one?

Dili we “mtsf it” in the early “thirties?” Did we “miss it” when 'some fifteen million men walked the street—camped out—lived in । huts and shacks and lean-tos? Did we “miss it” while brave women scrubbed and scoured and patched and mended until their finger tips ! were raw, their hands rough—and their hearts dull with lhe pain of iabandoned hopes? Hold on once more. . . This time chances are we won’t bounce back again! Many peo­ ple now realize what a close shave it was the last time . . . how des­ perately near we were to chaos and national ruin. MUST we come with another crash? MUST we ignore, not one, nor two, nor three—but lhe dozens of lessons taught us by history? . MUST we head straight along lhe road-to-ruin we took last time? •1 It's what's beginning to happen, right here—now—in our country. j\ p~pl« are making more money than they ever did before and . I spending it. Spending it faster than they ever did before. The old “short-life-but-a-inerry-one” story is back with us. But how merry IS it? Where’s thc money coming from—“prosperity?” No . . . war. From the Business of Death we’ve been forced into. From things | made to kill people. From things made to kill other people so they , won't kill us. •. Win. lose, or draw, the war will end some day. No war has lasted । forever. / Then what? J Those same war-factory wheels will again slow down and stop. i Men will walk out of factories and hear lhe gates grind closed behind them—many of them to stay closed. . And maybe the green grass will grow between the stones of fac-1 lory courtyards before the men will come back to work again . . . slowly . . . a few at a jime. The same as the last time? And the time before that? Well it shouldn't be, but it will be even worse—unless we use our 1 common sense now! There’s no special Providence watching over this country, in spite of all our song# and slogans. We’re people—just like any other people. Luckier, yes. Our land is fairer—endowed with more riches than any other lands. And we've worked hard—or used to, anyway. Nobody knows how much is left of American spirit and guts—yet. We think it's greater than before. The Japs and the Germans will find that out. • But listen. Mister. . . . Don't fool yourself! The time’s going to come when you’ll need those dollars you’re throwing around now. If hard times catch up with you, it isn't that night-club proprietor who's going to return the money you spent in his place—no, not any part of it! And all the unnecessary gimmicks and gadgets you think you need now won't be worth a dime on the dollar then. And when your pockets are empty it won’t be because you’ll be taking money out of them—but because no money will be going into them. How about those bright kids of yours? Will they have to work instead of going to high school or college? And those beautiful ring# you bought your wife? Supposing you lose your job . . . how long can you last before pawning those bau­ bles, for a fraction of what they cost you? STEBBINS & JACOBS FARM BUREAU SERVICES MARK'S AUTO HASTINGS MFG. CO. GOODYEAR BROS. HDWE. G. R. BOOKCASE CONSUMERS POWER CO. IRONSIDE MONUMENT WORKS So look. . . -s When you want to spend money or buy something new, just Imagine you were spending your next to-lhe-last dollar. Don’t ask how happy you’d be with what you get for your money— but whether you’d be miserable without it. That’s the only lest. Otherwise you're just kidding yourself. Lighting matches to ten dollar bills you’re going to need—sure some . JayWhat? Oh, you’re making more money? Then save more— don't spend more! Because the money we all save now will play a trem-ndous part in the after-war economy of our country’. The money we save now will be a cushion of buying power—those sorely-needed doljar»4o “start things up again” in our civilian economy—to keep Us from' national bankruptcy until the wheels start moving again. The dollars you waste now may be the dollars you'll need then—yes, perhaps even for such matter-of-faeftfiinga^s bread and milk and meat. Why do you suppose your Government urges you to save? It’s perfectly simple—to ward off disaster To make sure that the crash that “couldn't happen here” doesn't happen again. So that possible (if not probable) after-war depression doesn't find you at tlie tail end of a bread line fifleen-million-people-long. So that a war we win by fighting won't be lost by waste. Remember, we’re at war! Dollars are needed just as much as men—to back up those men—to give your boy, your brother, or your pal lhe stuff he needs to beat the Axis, and come back alive. Money wasted on foolish luxuries won’t do this. Once spent, it’s ’ gone, and neither you nor the boys fighting for*you arc better off for the spending. But the dollars you save in War Bonds or your saving account will help Uncle Sam buy lhe guns, the tanks, the ships, and the planes we must have to survive and win. And those savings will guarantee your future—lhe financial future of you, yodrjamily, and lhe boys who are fighting for us all. Nobody can tell you what’s going to happen after the war, of its searing effect on tlie Nation. But somebody can tell you what will happen to you. You can. Make a plan and stick to it. Guarantee your own future. So many dollars every pay day into War Bonds and into your savings account , ’’ Then, come Jiell or high water, follow your plan. Protect your family. Build up'rtserves. Create a stock of money and make it grow. Your money. Your Bonds. Your protection. And the bigger the stock, of savings you create, the better off you’ll be—to buy the good things you will want when tlie war ia oyer—that new car, that refrigerator, and radio you can’t get now—things that make American life tlie best in the world. Meanwhile, helping yourself, your savings money will go to work helping your country, to provide fighting equipment for your boys to lick the Axis—homes for war workers—roads, railroad equipment, and ships to transport war materials from the factory to the front. Your dollars working for Victory and Peace! So, when you save wisely, you’re helping your country and your­ self at lhe same lime. y Honest, now. . . . Could you ask for anything belter?

There will have to be bills printed for each of those bills with­ drawn from circulation through hoarding or to replace the bills which have to be held in reserve fo back up the overloaded savings and commercial accounts which are caus­ ing a headache to every banker in the nation. Those bills in hoarding or in re­ serves are idle bills. They are not doing one thing for the war effort.

So. if the patriotic appeal for nurchasing bonds leaves you cold; if you figure that you are doing enough or too much already to help win the war—then give a thought to what bond purchasing will do to stabilize and protett existing values.

Among other reasons, this token svstem was decided upon as neces­ sary to make the ration ixx* last irsued run longer. 96 weeks, in fact. Tills longer life of a book make* unnecessary all the registration and waiting that has formerly attended other teauance of books. Mainly, of course, it will amount to a laving* of 3 million dollars to tlie tax-payer, since it saves printing, paper, ink □nd distribution costa.

Tills u«e of tokens will also mak* it easier for the housewife to budget her ration points, and “spread’’ ih m in meet her needs more equit­ ably than heretofore. Some are , finding, today, that Hwy use their stamps sparingly at the beginning of a new valid jiertod only to find, near the end of the period, that they will have many left over if they are not used before Hie ex­ piration date The use of tokrtui will care this difficulty. Tlie houstwife will scon be able to avoid any lastminute rush to spend her pointe that are on thr verge of explnig.

Statistics arc tricky things to tobti around.. Obviously, % of a bathtub wouldn’t hold water very well! That figure means merely that some 3 out of 5 American homes have bathtubs. Obviously, also, the electric figure applies only to homes that have electric service (about 4- out of 5). But as a nation-wide average of all those homes, it is a fact—and surprising to many people. Most families own more '-electric appliances now - than they did in 1929. Over the years, as they used more elec­ tricity, they earned lower rates — and the rates, too, were steadily reduced. ■ So—though your bill today may be as much as it was in 1929—or even more—you’re getting twice as much for what you pay. And remember that the price of electricity has stayed down while most other p¥ices are going up.

T, . , T t < ■ To Every Barry County Citizen: All of us on the home front have done a pretty good job for the men in service — keeping up morale, safe-guarding the good things of American life and producing overwhelming war supplies. In buying Bonds through pay roll deductions, the record of most people is excellent. has many things to be proud of in its war activities. Barry County ■ ' But in buying Bonds out of savings the record is poor. Why? We are convinced it is true only because not enough people have stopped to think through the financial problems of the war and how they affect their individual financial practices. That is why we are coming to you with this important message. Your money is just as "available” in a war bond as it is in a sav­ ings account, building and loan share account or in a safe deposit box. But your money in a bond makes a difference to Uncle Sam who is trying to finance the war and prevent inflation. 4 . x Your purchase of war bonds is the only effective means of beat­ ing inflation;' We can hold your money for you in a savings account or in a safety deposit box, but we can't protect its real value—you can do this by placing surplus funds in bonds. So we urge you—to use your surplus funds this week to buy Bonds. Plan to carry less cash — get your cash out of safe deposit boxes —with­ draw from your savings account — to make substantial Bond purchases. Put your money into Bonds. They are the best investment you can make today — the best way you can back up the men in service. x Sincerely, NATIONAL BANK OF HASTINGS HASTINGS CITY BANK ■ '■ ■ ■■ ■ .

HEALTH DEPARTMENT NOTES .» Chest x-ray* of all student* en­ rolled in Michigan’* four colleges of education will be secured with tlie opening of the fall term this year in a move by the state health de­ partment to eliminate tuberculosis a* it campus hazard. It is expected that more thair 7.000 students wilrbe x-rayed when the department's mobile photo­ graphic unit visit* colleges tn Mt. Pleasant, Marquette, YpsUanU and Kalamazoo. Approval of the x-ray program has been given by the state board of education. Members of faculties of the four schools may avail themselves of the opportunity lo secure x-ray ex­ aminations. In Barry County plans are being made to do an industrial chest x-ray study in May. 1944. One Has­ ting* plant has already secured chest x-rays on over 1.000employees. Chest x-rays are made in Barry County to exclude tuberculosis on all household and other cloee con­ tacts with clinical tuberculosis. Such chest x-rays are obtained thru Ute family physician and the Barry County Health Department. They arc produced by the Pennock Hos­ pital.

OE MARTINEZ, Colorado farm boy, his battalion bogged down under withering fire from Jap positions on Attu, arose alone and advanced into a hail of bullets to clean out trench after trench so his battalion could advance. He died with his rifle at his shoulder, pumping lead into the enemy, while his mates were able to move up behind him and successfully take the pass. For this, Joe Martinez, has been posthumously awarded the Nation’s highest military honor. Let every man-who was once a farm boy himself buy an extra War Bond in Joe’s honor... for Joe took the bullets aimed at the heart of America!

SPONSORED BY BLISS LOCAL 414 AND HASTINGS LOCAL 138 ■ -H UAW \ •/ CIO Children under 16 years of age not admitted unless accompanied by an adult "Life Line" is an actual U. S. Signal Corps picture of the attack on Rendova. It shows, with all thc harsh reality of combat and death, how our men at the front landed, established their beach­ head, set up their "Long Tom" guns, and fired on Rabaul. You will see Jap planes attack those men and blast their guns; you will see the evacuation of the wounded, and you will see them being operated upon in field hospitals. A great many people are fond of say­ ing that "this war has never been close to the American People." Well, after you've seen this picture, maybe YOU will not want it to come any closer. Maybe you'll just want to work harder and more effectively, TO GET IT OVER while it's still far away. Some of us hove seen "Attack on Ta­ rawa." The Army Ordnance folks can't tell us for sure whether they can get a copy for our showing-but they will try. it only runs 12 minutes, but it highlights the hell that our men went through. "War Department Report" is a back­ bone stiffener for the wishful thinkers who were betting last summer that the Germans would "fold-up by Christmas." And it is "necessary reading" for those of us who are now counting on having the Huns whipped by summer.

THE PLACE: Betio, just one of twenty-five outcroppings that comprise Tarawa atoll of the Gilbert Islands. SCENE I: Early morning of November 19th. In the most concentrated naval gunfire in history’. 800 tons of bombs are dropped by American carrier planes and’ 2000 tons ’ pillboxes that when a forward one is destroyed, the Marines moving into the cleared area are mowed down by fire from two inner pillboxes. SCENE III: Evening of the third day. of shells are hurled by battleships, cruisers, and destroyers. Betio has been taken by the United Nations! But all of that is not enough. The table reef prevents the Marines from landing in their Hig­ gins boats and many have to debark 800 yards from the beach and wade in against heavy fire. But that little strip of white coral, less than one square mile in area, cost us the fiercest, bloodiest, most ruthleSs battle in all American history’. 1092 Narines paid with their lives. And the best part of 2680 will never again be whole, free-moving men. Squads of them are blown back into the water in bloody, unidentifiable\nasses. Many more are hung in death on the Officers who know warn us that Betio was only the beginning of the real .war in the Pacific. SCENE II: The next day. barbed-wire barricades in the shallow waters that lap over the treacherous reef. Now come the Jap pillboxes - some 500 of them — made of coconut logs or concrete or steel.

I owed on the house and the car and the furniture. If I was even with the grocer, I owed the gas man. If I was even with the gas man, 1 owed the grocer. Golly, I got tired of it (And so did the grocer.) 'But, it’s all different now! ■ After Pearl Harbor, I started buying War Bonds on the Payroll Saving Plan. Every pay day, regular as clockwork, I lent 10% of what I was making to Uncle Sam. Knew he needed it tb win the war... and this Payroll Plan was the simple, easy way to do my part What’s more, it's automatic. Keeps me buy­ ing Bonds regular, instead of forgetting and frittering away the money somewhere else. Well, sir, I soon found out I could afford put­ ting this money in Bonds. I'm making better money these days, and there's a darn sight ' fewer things for me and the missus to spend that money on. So, I'm actually coming out even, Bonds and all. A.nd the other night, fingering over those nice crisp War Bonds, I said to the missus: “For once," t said, “we got somebody owing us money. And that somebody is Uncle Sam. He's promising to pay us back $4.00 for every $3.00 we put in these Bonds. And, just between you . and me and the lamp post, there’s no surer promise in the world." “My," said the missus, “why don't we try to buy more of those Bonds out of your pay? I could do some paring down here and there. . Let’s see. if we can't make it 15% instead of 10%.” We did it, by golly! AND SO CAN YOU1 \ I used • LetaaM KEEP BACKINS THE ATTACK!

You don’t give it its chance to/ help you and the country in the years that lie ahead. is a very important letter in this war. It’s the name of the War Bonds you buy-“War Sav­ ings Bond Series E.” . And when the war is over, that money you now put away can do another job, can help America swing over from war to peace. You kill off its S4-for-every-$3 earning power. All of which it’s good to remember when you might be tempted to cash in some of your War Bonds. They are yours, to do wtiaf you want with. As you know, a Series E Bond will work for you for ten full years, piling up interest all that time, till finally you’ll get four dollars back for every three you put up. Pretty nice. HORSE SENSE There’ll come a day when you’ll bless these Bonds^ —when they may help you over a tough spot. 5 6 7 <9 9-/0 The first job of the mofiey you put into “E” is, of course, to help finance the war. But it also gives you a wonderful way to save money. That's why you should make up your mind to hang on to every Bond you buy. You can, of course, cash in your Bonds any time after you’ve held them for 60 days. You get all your money back, and, after one year, all your money plus interest. But... it’s ABC sense that... They'll do the best job for you and for America if, • you let them reach the full tiower of maturity!

Idle money, like grain, cannot grow until it is planted or put to work. And yours isn't any dif­ ferent than any other. Sure it's a great feeling to have a good savings account ... but... why carry more than is necessary to take care of an emergency? Every dollar you tie up has to be replaced, (a new one printed to take its place), so you are forcing the value of that dollar down by keeping it out of circulation. Now thenpif you really want to save, and we believe you do, all the money you don't need at once, put into a good investment... the best today is in your own government. War bonds not only offer you a sound investment, but they al­ so help to guarantee our American way of living. They help to pay the bill of war, and to help to hold down inflation by having less money issued. Your dollar is only as good as your government, and its bonds are as good as dollar*.

And our railroads will be ready. WED., MARCH 29,1944 REGULAR inspections cuTcan They are picturing a future of im­ proved plants, changed equipment, faster schedules, more efficient oper­ ation of both freight and passenger services. The railroads have learned many things during this war period. America will benefit from this new "know how" in the days to come. "When the war is over" America will move at an increased tempo. But no matter how much faster life will be, or how much greater will be the demands upon transportation, the railroads will be in the forefront, carrying the bulk of America's increased and accelerated passenger and freight traffic, and doing it with smoothness and efficiency.

THURSDAY. MARCH W. 11391300 a bulldog does is hang oni Once he gets hold of something, it’s mighty hard to make him let go! \ And that’s the lesson about War Bonds you can learn from him. Once you get hold of a War Bond, hang on to it for the full ten years of its life. There are at least two very good reasons why you should do . this. One is a patriotic reason .. . the other a personal reason. You buy War Bonds because you know Uncle Sam needs money to fight this war. And you want to put some of your money into the fight. But... if you don’t hang on to those War Bonds, your money isn’t going to stay in the battle. Another reason you buy War Bonds is because you want to set aside some money for your family’s future and yours. No one knows just what’s going to happen after the War. But the man he best thing T with a fistful of War Bonds knows he’ll have a roof over his 'head and 3 square meals a day no matter what happens! War Bonds pay you back $4 for every $3 in 10 years. But, if you don’t hang on to your Bonds for the full ten years, you don’t ’ get the full face value, and ... you-wpn’t have that money com­ ing in later on when you may need it a lot worse than you need it today. So buy War Bonds... more and more War Bonds. And then keep them. You will find that War Bonds are very good things to have ... and to hold!

Owner Hastings, Michigan HIADQUARHIS fO* PAINTS, VARNISHtS &INAMILS Mado by Makers ©/ irhile the cost of living has been climbing up, the cost of electric ser­ vice has been dropping down! That’s true no matter what year you choose to set as “sea level”—3 years ago with war approaching —10 years ago in deep depression — or 15 years ago in boom times. Actually, in the last 15 years, the cost of electricity has come down so far that the average American family gels about twice as much for its money today as it did then. Perhaps you haven’t noticed the reduction in your own bills because you’ve been adding appliances and using njore and more electricity over the years. But the saving is there. In the light of other wartime costs and taxes, electricity is just about the biggest bargain in your budget! The reasons arc as many as the men and women who work for your local elec­ tric company—under careful business management — devoting all their energy und experience toward keeping service good and price low.

OFFER THE FOLLOWING: on lhe HORSES ELECTRICLIGHT axi> POWER INDUSTRY “Faced with unprecedented demands, the Electric Liilht and Power Industry has met every war-production requirement without delay and without impairment of its peacetime service* to the public. This achievement merits the appreciation not only of American industry but of the entire nation. ” —FROM Tilt CITATI0M what Is the Charles A. Coffin Foundation? * I ‘HE PURPOSE of the Charles A. Cotnn * I'reindatioa is to cncpuragc and reward distinguished achievement in the electrical field by "pores to employees; by recognition to light­ ing, power, and railway companies for improve­ ment in service to the public; by fellowships to deserving graduate students; and by the grant of funds for research, work at technical schools and colleges.” Establishment of the awards was announced twenty-two year* ago in a statement issued by Pqnident Swo|>c and dated Decembers, 1921: f'On May 16, i')J2{Char!ei A.

Coffin Foundaiion.’ " ’ Gerard Swore,- Preiident ' lavcrt Ib Your Country's Future —BUY WAR BONDS | 'HIS CITATION is richly merited—for here is a branch of industry that has done a remarkable war job that has not been generally recognized. If electric power should fail; or if it be too little or too late, the disastrous effects would startle all America. Vital machines would be motionless. Millions of homes would be cold—and an eerie blackout would descend over the land. But, electricity has not failed. Rather, in 1943 twice as much power was produced as in the year before the war—with the minimum of new facilities—and despite , large losses of skilled employees to the Armed Services. In the words of J. A. Krug, Director, Office of War Utilities of W.P.B., "Power men—public and private-— should be proud of the job that has been done in provid­ ing power supply. Power has nqver been too little or too late.0 ' Wc of General Electric, who have built a large part of the electric equipment which generates, distributes, and uses the electric power of America, take pride in the way this equipment is standing up under the strain of “forced draft" wartime operation. Many of the men and women responsible for thia remarkable record jirc your neighbors—the manager or meter reader who lives across the street, the girl in the accounting departmeijt who is in your bridge club, the Hheman with whom you bowled last night. A word of appreciation from you to them will lend added sig­ nificance to this well deserved citation. General El&tric Company, Schenectady, New York. GENERAL @ ELECTRIC Black marc, 9 yrs. old.

The message of Easter is the message of the Resurrection. A dead Christ had been placed in the tomb, but on Easter morning the stone was rolled away and a living Lord came forth to fill the world with new hope and joy. "Death was swal­ lowed up of life." Every springtime, this some miracle is reen­ acted before our eyes. The winter world lies cold and lifeless about us. If experience had not taught us better, we should think that all nature was dead. But suddenly we begin to note evidences of new life. Buds swell on the bare branches of the trees; flow­ ers push their way through the frozen ground; the gross grows soft and green; ond the song of birds fills the air. Then, we rejoice, for we know that "Life is ever lord of death, and love can never lose its own." \ That's why Easter has caught the imagina­ tion of the world. That's why we crowd the church­ es on Easter Sunday. That's why the great trium­ phant hymns and anthems stir us to the depths of our souls.

Tlie spring meeting of the Barrv Here's Tho Story: This modem farming machine makes it unnecessary Tor you to pay for a tractor too big for 90% .of your power requirements to do a few tough jobs representing only 10^'bf your needs. 'The Ford Tractor with Ferguson System is the only tractor - which gives you light weight for light work and then automati­ cally "heavies" itself when the going gets tough. Therefore, there is no necessity for excess built-in ballast. No knuckles to skin or bark in piling on steel or concrete weights. No dead metal to pay for or fuel bills to carry it around. This is only part of the story. Come in and let us tell you about all tlie other postwar advantages of the modern tractor. SMITH & DOSTER HARDWARE DELTON.

APRIL 13. 1344 >AOK HIX Ulis is no time memory w nearly all Americans there’s a streak of natural optimism. I Wc know the war won’t be over tomorrow. We know there may be a long, hard fight ahead. But we can’t help looking forward to the beautiful and wonderful-seeming days of Peace. This is all right unless ... Unless it makes you rela'ic your efforts to win the war ... Unless it makes you lose your memory of what happened after the last war was won. Don’t lose that memory now. Don’t forget the depression ...the poverty that hit the farmers... the bread lines in the cities...the soldiers looking, looking, looking for jobs, and not finding them. Remember that Peace brought difficult economic problems, economic stresses. And this time, we must be ready to meet them. This time we must make sure of having a real financial cushion ... to ease the transfer to normal peacetime business, peacetime employment, peacetime living. . That’s one big reason why you should buy War Bonds ... and hold on to them'.'.' and there are others.’ Every War Bond you buy, every one you hold to maturity, will keep bringing you $4 for every $3 you invest today. /* And that steady flow of buying power will make jobs. It will create markets for peacetime goods. It will do a lot to insure an America that's prosperous and sound...the kind of America we all want when this war is won. So let’s not forget the lesson of World War I. Keep buying Bonds. Keep hanging on to them. They’re your security ... your Country’s security ... , for the days of Peace!

INSURANCE and BONDS JERRY IM MEMORIAM What price to pay Is a varied an­ swer. he agrees, but poultrymen who pay’more than an average price fur their chicks usually get enough extra eggs to pay for the higher cost of the chicks several times over. ! The last few dozen eggs tiiat a lien lays in a year may mean the dif­ ference between profit and loss. How to tell which chicks are the besl to buy is a perplexing question. ' Lamoreaux admits, but acquaint- । ance with the seller, experience of ' past years with his stock on ycur.fi"-> own farm or a neighbor's is worth ! •“"I consideration. if you can't make up your mind to pick one seller ot chicks, he says, pick out the best two or three sources. Get ail thc chicks nt the same time, mark them with toe punches or wing bands and mix them together in the brooder houses, in the fall, thc marked pullets ot the dillercnt lots of birds can be •eparated. and records on their mortality and egg production will provide thc answer for another year.

An invasion craft slips in through the night and scrapes its keel against an enemy beach. it's tough ... and we of the railroads know how much tougher it will be. Thc landing ramps grind down. And .. . Stripped to shoes and shorts, an unsung hero of the Coast Guard races into lhc choppy surf... head-on through a hail of machine­ gun fire ... to test thc water's depth for the troops that arc waiting thc word to land! It's tough! But that's part of the Coast Guard's job. To put thc Army ashore. And then help keep it supplied with the guns and shells and food that it needs to fight. And whether it's landing men and supplies on an enemy beachhead ... or hauling them over America's rails to embarkation ports ... the transportation of troops and equipment is one of the war's biggest jobs. A job that is growing increasingly We know that although wc carried more passengers and freight last year than wc ever carried before, we've got to top that record again in 1944! „ It's tough . .. but it can be done ... If you ... as a railroad passenger, or a shipper or receiver of freight. . . save every inch of space that you possibly can... If you remember thatyour efforts over here help get the bigger job done over there!

WAR BONDS DEWEY REED, Auctioneer Clifford Hammond, John Bin �THE HASTINGS BANNER. TIIl-HSDAV, APRIL M, 1S44 Oawe »tx Here's a very funny thing about War Bonds t’s a tunny thing, but many people still have the wrung slant on War Bonds. IThese people think that when \they buy a Bond, they’re giving, or donating their money to the war. “‘Yoifimglirsiy ttirj/have agrih-ahd-bcaf-it attitude about all their War Bond purchases. Well, that’s a strange attitude. Because while buying Bonds is patriotic, and while it is necessary to .help the Government pay for planes and tanks and guns, it is not a ’ personal sacrifice. In fact, buying a War Bond is just about thc most advantageous thing you can pos­ sibly do with your money. Why? as build a home, send his children to school, and travel. And, finally, by investing thc money that otherwise would be burning a hole in our pockets these days, wc-fc helping to keep down the cost of living. ~ So it’s a very funny thing that some peo­ ple still think they’re giving their money when they invest it in a War Bond. You couldn’t make a safer investment. Thc Government itself hacks every dollar you invest. And the Government pays a good, sound rate of interest—you get 54 back for every* $3 you put in. That means that when thc war is over, everybody who’s been buying W;ir Bonds will have a comfortable financial backlog— a backlog that will help him do such thing* 2^^ KEEP BACKING THE ATTACK! | WALLDORFF & SON STRAND AND BARRY THEATRES HODGES JEWELRY FRANDSEN'S B.

This advertisement presents the prize winning editorial in ajnrionwide contest among high school and college publications, conducted by the Education Section of the War Finance Division in cooperation with the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, as part of tlie Treasury Department's Schools*at-War program. It was written by Barbara Brown, Olney High School. Philadelphia, for the Olney HIGHLIGHTS, and was selected from thousands of editorials which were submitted. Memorial service for American Soldiers and Marines killed on Cuds Gloucester, New Britain. Signal Corps Photo. Suppose there were no tomorrow— Suppose there were no tomorrow?'! Think about it for just a minute... No tomorrow for you, or your kid sister at home—or the brother who left for the Army yesterday. Did you ever think that we, who have had so few yester­ days, may have no tomorrows? It has happened, you know. To Jack Feldman, and Bob Ernest—and fifteen others who sat in our classes just last term... They will have no tomorrows. They died before they ever had a try at living... so-that we might have our chance. There are millions who were asked to give up more than a double feature at the Earle ... or a spiffy, new pair of pumps for next weel^s formal. A soda is a pretty insig­ nificant sacrifice, when you think of— The kids in Russia, who live on a few ounces of cereal a day. They've never seen an ice cream soda. The Polish boys and girls, who would be in school right now, just as wc are ... if there were any schools left. The French youths who’ve never had a hamburger on a date—or any other time, for that matter. They are old, very old... older than you and I will ever be... There are millions of them ... in Nprway ... Holland ’ ?. Denmark... Belgium... They would stare in amaze­ ment if they could be here to see— A jalopy painted bright yellow. "The Tin You Love to Touch" printed in big, green letters on the back. A high school senior, uncomfortable in his first tuxedo . . . calling for his date, looking nervous. Millions of things that we take for granted.. I "Hey, Maestro! Play 'Stardust'!” ... There is such a feeling of permanency in our tight little world. We'll go to school with the gang, today . .. and tomorrow... But, WHAT IF THERE WERE NO TOMORROW? There’s only one way to be sure, you know— Buy War Bonds... That’s a simple little phrase. It's thc American way of saying what wc mean in a few direct words. Buy War Bonds. Yes—you and everybody must buy War Bonds. We've got to buy more and more, and more of 'em. Just get the idea into your head that your $18.75 might—just might ertd the war one-fifth of one second sooner. That maybe, in that one-fifth of a second, the boy next door could be on the receiving end of a bullet... ThcrL..you'll know it’s worth it! We’ve got to keep on plugging, saving, convincing. Giving our pin money... Tell everybody—sell everybody! We can't take no for an answer . . . tomorrow —and tomorrow—and tomorrow.

Wards welcomes the suggestion that an election be held at an early date to determine the employees’ choice of representation. The question whether the Union represents a majority of the employees in Wards’ Mail Order House and Store in Chicago has been pending since No­ vember i6> 1943. Ward’s his repeatedly urged a prompt determination of this question, and has publicly announced a readiness to recognize the Union when proof of its representation is presented. Although over five months have elapsed since the question arose, the Union has re­ fused to show that it is the majority choice of the employees by either a card check or an election. Wards will continue to observe the wages, hours, and related terms of employment as they were before the expiration of the former contract. Wards has made no’ change in any of these conditions since December 8, 1941, and could not do so under the wage stabilization law without prior governmental approval. Your assertion that the strike is interfering With the distribution of essential goods is based upon misinformation. On April 13, the United States Post Office, presumably acting on orders from Washington, removed its seventy employees from the mail order house. For more than thirty years the Post Office had maintained this department for the purpose of handling parcel post shipments to Wards’ customers. Oh April 17, the United States Post Office refused to deliver to Wards incoming parcels from ctistblnefrs on which postage had been fully paid. De­ spite the assistance given to the strike by the United States Post Office, Wards’ store has lieen open for business during the usual hours each day since the strike began and Wards is up to date .in the filling of.-mail ~ Although Wards welcomes an early election^ Wards cannot, under the law, grant special privileges to the Union pending .the election. To grant maintenance of Union membership be­ fore the election is held, as the War I«abor Board has ordered, would not only violate the em­ ployees’ fundamental liberty of free choice but it would also permit the Union to demand the dis­ charge of all the employees who have resigned from the Union since December 8, 1943. Com­ pliance with the Board's order would thus make a mockery of the democratic right of employees / to .choose their bargaining bepteSehtatives fttcly and without HiterferenceV x /’ Board has demonstrated its utterly unfair character, and its complete disregard of the command of Congress that its orders conform to the National Labor Relations Act. Wards’ experience with the War Labor Board over a period of two years has convinced Wards that the Board is a means by which special privileges are granted to labor unions.. The union members of the War Labor Board are men chosen for leadership by the unions, and have actually advanced the interests of the unions. The so-called public members have con­ sistently joined with the Union members to support the demands of organized labor. The socalled industry members are committed to a policy of supporting the majority vote of the union members and the union-dominated public members. ---------------------------- 1—I The War Labor Board has alilrays claimed that its orders are lat» and must be obeyed. It has coerced innumerable emplbytrs intb acceptance of it? orders by threatening the seizure of their businesses. When Wards brought suit to have the Board’s orders declared illegal, the Board asked the courts to dismiss the case. IN DIRECT CONTRADICTION TO ITS PREVIOUS XLAIMS OF POWER, THE BOARD’S PLEA TO THE COURT WAS THAT ITS OR­ DERS WERE NOT "LEGALLY BINDING,” BUT WERE ONLY “ADVICE’’ WHICH WARDS NEED NOT ACCEPT. The purpose of this plea was to deny Wards a trial before the courts. The issues raised by Wat-ds* case against the War Labor Board are judicial ques­ tions which under the Constitution only the courts hiay decide. The War Labor Board, by asking you to forte Wards to comply with its order while seeking to deprive Wards of an oppor­ tunity for a hearing irt the courts^ has demonstrated its lack of rcspcct for our Constitution and the fundamental rights which the Constitution guarantees. Your assertion that, if Wards does not accept your direction, you will take further action, has been construed by the press to threaten the seizure of Wards’ plant and business. The Constitution of the United States guarantees to the people the protection of those fundamental rights without which there can be no liberty. Under the Constitution, Congress is the sole law-making authority. Neither the President of the United States nor any other official has the legal right to seize any business or property either in time of peace or in time of war unless Congress has expressly given him the power to do so.'

Congress has given the President no power to seize the non-war business of Montgomery Ward. Any seizure of Wards’ plant or business would be in complete disregard of the Consti­ tution which the President is sworn to uphold and defend.

It was sure fun to read your recreation notes and It looks like you're doing pretty O.K. fellow Noticed by the paper clippings that you qualified for the Championship Flight nnd that you stayed In. were still swing­ ing In there pretty close to the top. Maybe I*'a that strong ocean breete over the course, that you write about, that put you a bit off your game. Back here there was little atmosphere disturbance from Tbornapple River to get you in trim for lhe Irish Seo.

Someway I made It to the top deck where lhe llfe-toate them or get them down and the ship was sinking fast. While I was standing there, the bock end of the ship went down and as I was standing on deck. I went down with culled me down, anvway it seemed like I was going down forever. I kept fighting ta get back up to the surface. Finally I opened my eyea and I heard people calling for help and others screaming and hollering in­ side the front of the ship which was lifting Into the air as the back went down. It seemed to stand right uo on end with the front ot the ship sticking straight up In the air. I thought. "Well, this is it." because It looked like it was falling *fight over on me. I guess all I thought of then was what you folks would say when you heard about it. I was lucky ta have a lifesaver. I started to hold on to a piece of wreckage there, but every­ one else was trying ta hold on It. too, and they kept grabbing me by my arm. I saw a small raft floating about 50 vds. away. I could only sse it when 1* went up on a wave be­ cause the sea was really rough. I told my buddy, who was also -hang­ ing on with me, I was going to try and make the raft. He said hc thought he would stay there, so I started and I guess It's a good thing I did as my buddy hasn't been heard nt since. | swam to the raft and It was the hardest swim I ever had to do. I was really tired out and ,my arm was aching. We floated around about two hours be­ fore wc were picked up and it was really cxild. We still had all our clothes on though. There were three of us on the raft—a British medic, a German prisoner, nnd myself. When they picked us up. we threw a blanket to Die prisoner from the rescue boat and shoved the raft and him away, and took off. but I heard later that he was picked up. In the paper it said the ship was torpedned: It wasn't It was bombed, ind twit by accident, either* Any­ way I hope this clears up anv ques­ tion In your mind* about it. I guess a lot of that other letter written In the hospital wu* missing it was sure good when 1 woke up ’.he next morning and they told me I was In Naples. And just 24 hours after lhe ship sank I was Ivlng on the operating table In Na­ ples. It is an experience I don't want to go through again. The whole thing - didn't, last, over 10 minutes. The ship went down fast. Well. I guess III close for now. Please tell everyone hello and to write and please send me a box ot candy and some peanuts. Love to all. Max Pfc.

THURSDAY. MAY 18. 194* It means something to all these people when you buy a War Bond When you buy a War Bond, it affects a great many people. because it means a quicker end of hunger and tyranny. it certainly means as much to you as to ahyone else in the world. FIRST, it buys weapons for the American boys overseas. FOURTH, it discourages Hitler and Tojo— and is a punch at the morale of the German and Japanese home fronts. FIFTH, it helps to guarantee peace and liberty to future generations of Americans. It’s a wonderfully advantageous way to in­ vest your money. It pays $4 for every $3 you put in. It’s safe. And it’ll give you a finan­ cial nest egg—a nest egg you can use after the war for such things as buying a home, educating your children, and traveling. Put yourself in that picture. Fpr when you buy a War Bond, So buy more War Bonds right now— TODAY! SECOND, it encourages our fighting allies, - ^Remonstrating that the American people arejnthis^crap to. the finish.

Pockets are good places to hold keys... and loose change for carfare and newspapers. ockets P But pockets are no place for any kind of money \ except actual expense money these days. The place—the only place—for money above living expenses is in War Bonds. Bonds buy bullets for soldiers. Bonds buy security for your old age. Bonds buy education for your kids. Bonds buy things you’ll need later—that you cai^tj buy now. Bonds buy peace of mind—knowing that your money is in the fight. Reach into the pocket I invented. Take out all that i extra cash.

I MORE MICHIGAN FOOD SAVES Its NOT done snob TOM stl with mirrors’ 'sioniffl ittiw VITAL WAR TRANSPORTATION A mirror makes two out of one ., . but it’s just. an illusion, of course. You can't collect ou it. There u a 2-for«l that the average American . family can and does collect oil And tliat's the double amount of electric service such a family gets today . . . for the same money it paid 15 years, ago^- Yes, your bill may be us much as — or more than — it was in 1929. But you’re using more electric conveniences now—and getting about twice as much for what you pay. Remember, Every time you buy and use Michigan grown food, you are saving vital war transportation for Uncle Sam. In this critical year, we must conserve the facilities of the railroads for the war products necessary to our armies, to our allies. Short hauls within the state of Michi­ gan release many cars for other uses. .When you use MORE MICHIGAN foods you assure yourself of the best and you help back the in­ vasion. uatlon of !wr abler.

If your bill isn't smaller, it ia because you have more electric servants and use more electricity now than then. It's a real achievement to keep electric service cheap in spite of rising costa and taxes — and to keep it plentiful in The credit goes largely to the hard-working men and Women of your electric company.

Since recorded Time first was. since man has lived and loved and left a history for the race to read, throughout all the ages, there has been revealed in him a deeprooted, vital instinct to perpetuate the beautiful. One of the most beautiful things of life, perhaps even the mo»t beautiful, is our love for those with whom we have enjoyed a life long, intimate affection. The dearest memories we hold are of those who hove revealed themselves to us and with whom, having put in them our faith'and trust, we have experienced • this joy called Life. And so man’s instinct has ever extended a protective guardian-ship over loved ones gone, and a keen desire to preserve their memory.

Socialists also suggest that cult!I vnting equipment be checked for . missing and broken parts, and thor­ oughly reconditioned. The cultivnting season Is always a busy one. A breakdown at that time may cause not only coogiderabtc loss of time but also an actual loss in money i through failure to cultivate at the !.propc{ time. Thp. mowing machine is relatively ' complex and attention must be given as to repair and upkeep. Follow , ruanufayturer's suggestions is a tip from specialists, because certain ad. justments will mean lighter running, better cutting, and a more efficient | machine, reducing the load on the team. ' Chard a Bert Species Although chard's great nutritive i 1 ' I1 I . j ■ I | • i I | ‘ , B and C. was unknown In the first I war, gardeners were then attracted I to li by the huge yield which could : be dbtuined from one row, cut con­ stantly all through the summer, un। til the fall freezeup. . Chard is a species of beet which can be sown as soon as the ground has been prepared, and in a month ; will be high enough to begin cutting. I For jhe best quality, leaves should ; never be allowed to grow more than ; 10 inches tall. Leaves which reach । Hus size should be cut. and smaller ones left to grow, providing a contifiuous harvest of young tender leaves throughout the season. Painting Good Investment; Helps Improve Property Painting of farm buildings is a good investment. Not only will Uie appearance of the farm be greatly improved but also the actual protec­ tion1 of-the wood and metal from decay ngd rust will more than pay for the money, time, and effort ex­ pended in painting. . In general, only the best quality of paint should be used. The cost of painting consists of the cost of the j paint itself and the cost of the labor. It takes Just as much labor to put on poor.paint as it docs good paint. The life ot good paint is many times I that of poor paint. i The direction on the containers should be followed and exactly to the letter. Perhaps one of the greatcst mistakes tn pa in tire; Is failure to I completely stir and mix the paint. The preparation of the surface for painting Is important.

The outer edga of the retina Is to­ tally color blind, perceiving only gray. Only In the center of the retina art all colors seen. In the band surrounding the central full color area only yellow and blue col­ or* can be distinguished. This area In the normal human eye Is redgreen blind. Studies of many persons disclose that the three fields of color vision vary greatly both in area and shape not only from Individual to Individu­ al. but also in the two eyes ot the same person. Because of these dif­ ferences color vision tests have been suggested for the identification of people. Fingerprints may be muti­ lated. but a person can not change his fields of color vision. The size and shape of the color fields of the retina can be ascertained by an in­ genious optical instrument known as a perimeter.

The National Labor Relations Board gerrymandered the bargaining Units at Chicago to insure a union victory, and to force union representation upon the retail store employees who by remaining at work during th® strike hod clearly shown their rejection of the union. 3. The National Labor Relations Board has given a wholly falsa excuse for its action. 4. The War Labor Board, and the Attorney General, to distract attention from their own illegal acts; hove untruthfully attacked Ward's labor policies. 5. The War Labor Board violated the law by granting a contract to the union when the union hod refused to prove that it had any legal right to represent Ward's employees. 6. The War Labor Board, by ordering the retroactive reinstatement of maintenance of membership, would have made impossible the holding of a fair election among Ward's em­ ployees. Obedience to that order would have forced Wards, before the election was held, to discharge the many employees who had exercised their right to resign from the yniort. 7. The National Labor Relations Board and the War Labor Board conspired together to bring about the seizure of Ward s properties to enforce an order which they knew to be illegal and unfair. - The Wot Labor Board and the Attorney General have sought to prevent Wards from obtaining a hearing In the courts on the illegality of the Board's orders, while seeking to irrv pose those orders upon Wards by force. These facts show that the Post Office, the Departn^SSroF4us,ice- ’^e National Labor Relations Board, and the War Labor Board, with the approval of the President, hav®.acted together to give illegal and unfair assistance to the CIO union at Chicego . X./ Ward's experience ever since the passage of the Wagner Act has shown that the un­ fairness and prejudice illustrated by these actions is the common method by which these agencies ore using the prestige of the government to force the surrender of the liberties of crhployers and employees everywhere. By their policies of giving unfair ond illegal assistance to labor unions, these bureaus have destroyed the established procedure of collective bargaining ond have encouraged labor itrife. Mr. William M. Leiserson, Chairman of the National Mediation Board pointed this out , in a recent address, saying: "The unions . . have come to depend on the Government to give them what they could not gain by collective bargaining with employers. And now. when the giving must stop because of the burdens of war and the necessity to control inflation, they turn in resentment against the Gov­ ernment like children against over-indulgent parents . . . "Government agencies are perhaps more responsible for the present la­ bor situation than the unions and tlvair leaders. The dependence of work­ ers' organizations on the Governmenrfs as much the result of their poli­ cies as of union policies." By seeking to force Wards to obey an illegal order while depriving Wards of a hear­ ing-in the courts, these agencies hove shown their lock of respect for our Constitution and the fundamental rights, which the Constitution guarantees. The Constitution is no longer the supreme law of the land if those whose rights are threatened are deprived of on opportunity to obtain the protection of the courts. i .

Wards draws the conclusion that these many bureaus have formed a machine for purchasing political support from laba^or^onizations. Wards has long believed that, when the public awakens to the degree of coercion used by the administrative agencies of the government to force employers and employees to accept union restrictions in which they do not believe and which without such coercion they would ovoid, it wilF rise in indignation. The public will demand that those appointed to office in these agencies oct with simple‘*fairness and obey the law or be removed from power. The facts Wards has recited show, finally, that the President, to force Words to obey an order known to his advisers to be unfair and illegal, ordered Ward's property seized by force. The President's action in ordering the plant seized was the usurpation of a power not granted him by Congress and denied him by the Constitution he was sworn to uphold and de­ fend. The seizure of Ward s plant developed a spontaneous and continuing public indigna­ tion which resulted in this investigation. This indignation is easily interpreted. A free Amer­ ican people will not accept dictatorship." MONTGOMERY WARD Ar CQ.

Brown Candidate for the Office of Lieut. Governor The Office of Lieutenant Governor is the second most important office in the State and taking the possibility of succession into consideration, without anticipation of a vacancy in the Governor's office yet, in choosing a can­ didate for Lieutenant Governor we should have that pos­ sibility in mind and pick the best material available. Having in mind Vernon Brown's background'd public office experience and integrity, in the opinion of any thoughtful citizen, should place him at the head of this list. ** Having served as township clerk, township supervisor, city aiderman, county clerk, school board member, state representative and auditor general, has given him a broad field of experience. Having these things in mind, together with the criti­ cal times through which we are passing, we, the under­ signed, give him our unqualified support as a candidate for the office of Lieutenant Governor of Michigan.'

INSULATE NOW Use State Insulation System Rock Wool MOISTURE PROOFED—One of our competitors was talking to a prospect thc other day and made the following statement. He said their XM company had the only waterproofed wool on thc mar­ ket. He went on to say that if you took a hand full of State Insulation Wool and squeezed it. water would run out of it. It is hard to believe anybody would be sucker enough to bite on that, but just for your protection and my own let me make a statement or two. If Rock Wool Insulation is properly installed you will never have any trouble with condensation. A fact remains however, that if your wool is not properly installed and your job properly en­ gineered, no matter how much oil treatment your wool hos you will hove trouble, just to go a little further on this line, in our work the last two years thc only two jobs in Hastings where we hove ■ found condensation caused by insulation, both jobs were installed by thc same XM company that thc salesman represented who made thc statements above. I hope any prospective buyers of in­ sulation will make us prove this statement. YOU don’t have to buy a "pig in the poke”—over 200 satisfied customers in aud around Hastings, your best guide.

LAKE ODESSA FAIR GROUNDS ChvNamel FLOOR ENAMEL RDINARILY, age brings certain privileges. One of the greatest of them perhaps, is tliat of watching, from the sidelines, the growth and progress of our childrens' families. O Certainly 6n£ of the rewards of being a mother is becoming a grandmother—able to enjoy our sons’ and daughters' children to thc fuU/while leaving the responsibility for them in other bands. . Thu war, which has changed so many things, has changed this too. When the wnr took our sons—when it broke up our childrens’ homes —it gave back .to America's grandmothers re­ sponsibilities which we had passed on long ago. The privilege of growing older quietly has been denied tlie women of our generation while this For today, our grandchildren need our help. And it is in our power to give them grontcr help, perhaps, than any grandparents ever give be­ fore. We can give this help by.buying War Bonds nnd Stamps—for our childrens’ children. And no other single thing tliat we can do will help so much, or in so many different ways. War Bonds can help to bring fighting fathers back to their families next year—thc year after —as soon ns possible. War Bonds can provide ‘'those families how with aid in ciu» of illness or emergency. War Bonds iMn help assure an ed­ ucation for a boy whose father comes back crippled—or docs not como back nt all. Wnr Bonds can help to guarantee a busy, prosperous America for our sons when they return—an America in which our grandsons can find nil the opportunities they need to lead, tlie fullest, happiest lives in all the world. Tlie Grandmothers’ Wnr Bond league is simply n way of recognizing nnd uniting the grandmothers who arc today buying Wnr Bonds nnd Stamps for their grandchildren. Every one who buys n Bond or Stnmp in a grandchild’s name automatically becomes a member.

Governor Ths Office of Lieutenant Governor is the second most important office in the State and taking the possibility of succession into consideration, without anticipation of a vacancy in the Governor's office yet, in choosing a can­ didate for Lieutenant Governor we shopld have that pos­ sibility in mind and pick tho best material available. Having in mind Vernon Brown's background of public office experience and integrity, in tho opinion of any thoughtful citizen, should place him at tho head of this list. Having served as township clerk, township supervisor, city alderman, county clerk, school board member, state representative and auditor general, has given him a broad field of experience. Having these things in mind, together with the criti­ cal times through which we are passing, wo, the under­ signed, give him our unqualified support as a candidate for the office of Lieutenant Governor of Michigan.

Bloody, bitter fighting... superhuman toil.. . hardship ... pain ... perhaps death. • He’s facing it. He’ll keep on facing it, as long as there’s breath in his bodyxand blood in his veins. . . But he wants to know what's behind him. And you have only a few days left to give him the answer. That answer will be written in the final figures on the Fifth War Loan Drive. v For this is the crucial, the all-important Drive. Never has the need for War Bond buying been so great. To make the Drive a success, you—and everyone else—! must buy at least twice as many Bonds as you bought in the last drive. If you haven't yet bought your full share, DO IT NOW! The time is short!

And gas, that quick, clean, auto­ matic, easy-to-cootrol fuel, is widely used by ' industry for this important war.production job. Everyone is asked to remember that the same fuel that is used in our homes for cook­ ing purposes, provides the heat that helps to produce shells needed by our fighting men.

This makes it necessary for the domestic consumers to use lower grade coals for part of thei( fuel. Remember, it's going to be a long time before you can replace your car. Don't neglect it. In order to provide enough coal to keep everyone com­ fortable this winter, the Government is keeping all mines working to the extent of their manpower. Follow your Standard 0.1 Dealer s kd-War-Year Service Guide and keep your car at its best always. If cheaper coal now available is not taken by con­ sumers as fast as it is produced it will be stored at the mines. When cold weather comes and this coal is re-handled from the Government coal pile it will cost more.'

' It appears that the big dty ef­ fort lo nave the slat* give a third of thc sales tax to its municipali­ ties will not go before lhe voters of Michigan at the November election, as they had announced it would nil* was due lo their failure to get the required nrnnber of names un their petitions, when the final day for ro doing arrived last week. But that will not stop the clamor of the large cities for stale help. The trouble la that Detroit. Flint. Grand Rapid* and other of the larger municipalities-show an un­ willingness to help themselves Hwy voted to put themselves under the 15' mill tai limit. Instead of asking their voters to raise that limit, as Hasting* and other small cities have done, they go to the state with a "Gimme!" plea, lo save them­ selves paying a little more lax. Possibly the stale can wqrk it out for them But they ought, lo be ashamed to ask W in view of the fact that practically every small city and village of Michigan la paying more than 15 mills—some of them nearly twice that levy.

Up to now, it’s been matter of careful strategy, brilliant deployment, limited actions and . . good intentions. Now, at last, we’re ready to come to grips. Where the stakes are tremendous and Thia la going to be. lhe showdown. it’s winner tuke all. Where expendable losses are calculated in flotillas and divisions — not mere shijfs and battalions. Where a billion dollars’ worth of weapons may he expended — torn to bits — in half a frantic hour because lhe pay-off is worth it. Why, we don't even know what war is like yell It’s going to hurl in the clinches. We may lose a month's production in a single battle — in December, 1943, two.full years after Pearl Harbor, seventeen of our ships were sunk at Bari in just thirty minutes! And that production must be made up, paid for, sweated out! hat if it isn’t? What if wc ait back and “take the war for granted” as so many of ua arc inclined to do now? Will the Axis conquer America? No, not this lime. We're over that hump. Kansas City or Atlanta this trip. Tlie Japs won’t parade in \ But thc war may drag on — stretch out \ into long, weary years — and after continued hcarlbt-eak and reverses, it may well go into stalemate — and thence to a “negotiated peace” that will leave a biller and crafty foe free to plan and arm for another war. The enemy may really win that next war —r if waiting for it doesn’t bankrupt America first.

IS ENTRY DAY) In the quiet,-sunlit stillness of cemeteries ot midnoon, in leofy, heavily foli- aged nooks where shadows play unceasingly across the clean, gray granite of eternal monuments, or in open places where finely carved memorials blend their designs to the traceries of hills and trees, the background of bushes and the curving white of friendly paths, how stirring one finds these testi­ monials of love. Ilollialer, How the heart trembles at such evidences of Love's last Phillip*. IIimIJ tender ministrations, how it thrills to read a name upon some deeply impres. Donald sive monument and to know of one who earned tribute such as |his. Ehret, Restful, too. con cemeteries be with harmoniously related, well planned monuments. Post these storms the ceaseless rush and hurrying of the world, and the noise and clatter reaches one only as the low-pitched murmur of a fugue. Through them Eternity flows slowly and undisturbingly, and in the very air a hallowed mellowness of peace is mystically, intangibly diffused. How completely a part of sleep and memory and beauty the graves in God's Acre can be. Belie Smith. ■ liu.ario. —■ ■ — — -■, ~ Edmond,. Hsrold Higdon. Rath Bsrber. (%»«. a Mary (.•Lora. Calhla Prrry, laabvllo Brumm, Ernevt t Jntl* Grom We have stood, however, and. oh. too frequently, in other cemeteries cruelly robbed of their rightful inheritance. In cemeteries where haphazard stones, placed with unskilled, unthought care, testify to the blind knowledge and incredible need which dictated their selection. Such conditions, unfortunate as they are. only emphasize more strongly to others the advisability of selecting their memorial while they live, while there is yet time to do it properly. It is easy to postpone the consideration of these matters, but. attended to now. it will save heirs many perplexing responsibil­ ities at a time when they are least able to bear them.

JULY 20..1M4* Let these guys start it! —L when the enemy wilt be licked, beaten, whipped to a fare-thee-well—every last ves­ tige of fight knocked out of him. And there’s a day coming when every mother's son of us will want to stand up and yell, to cheer ourselves hoarse over the greatest victory in history. There's a day coming But let's not start the cheering yet. In fact, let’s not start it at all-over here. Let’s leave it to the fellows who are Moing the job—the only fellows “who will know when it’s done—to begin the celebrating. Our leaders have told us over and oVEr again that the smashing of.the Axis will be a slow job, a danger­ ous job, a bloody job. And they’ve told us what our own common sense confirms: that if we at home start throwing our hats in the air and easing up before the job’s completely done, it will be slower, more dangerous, bloodier. Right now, it’s still up to us to buy War Bonds— and to keep on buying War. Bonds. Let's do that. Let’s keep tearing down till, we get the news of final victory from the only place such news can come: the battle-line. If we do that, we’ll have the right to join the cheer­ ing when.the time comes.

MILTLEINAAR, Clerk When they're passing out the medals, they may pass him by. When they're looking for headline heroes, he may be overlooked. But on every battlefront of the war, from New Guinea to Normandy, you’ll find him up where the shooting is ... rolling supply trains in. He's the G. I. ''boomer”—theuUitrrailroader of the Military Railway Servile. And he risks his neck 24 hours a day to keep fighting equipment on the move. He builds his own tracks wheh'he has to. He repairs his own rolling stock. He runs ammunition, medicine and food right up under the enemy's guns. It’s fhe toughest railroading in the world . . . and it gets tougher .with every mile he moves toward Tokyo and Berlin. Our railroading job over here ... the , job of backing him up . . , gets tougher every day, too. For now, in addition to"' moving more men, more guns, more fighting supplies to embarkation ports, we are faced with a new responsibility— that of carrying the wounded from hospital ships to hospitals throughout » the country. And these returning heroes are entitled to first priority on every railwayAine in America. All this adds up to the biggest job the railroads have ever tackled ... . And only by even closer cooperation between the railroads and the shippers and receivers of freight.. . only by even greater understanding on the part of railway passengers ... can this bigger job be done. , New York Central »»r cr 'etna _^unmntnrmr/ � https://barrycountyhistoryportal.org/files/original/19/471/HastingsBanner_1944-07-27.pdf 516bd9417d6edfb7c39a3a29f0ff3cfd PDF Text Text The Hasting SECTION ONE—PAGES 1 to 8 EIGHTY-NINTH YEAR HASTINGS, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, JULY 27. 1944 16 PAGES—2 SECTIONS BARRY COUNTY FREE FAIR TO BEGIN AUGUST On th, * * * * * * Home Front Middleville.

HILZEY, Auctioneer FORK �rnv iiicrrwrc nivvrn Tnrncmv ii’ir rdinarily, age brings certain privileges. One of the greatest of them, perhaps, is that of watching, from the sidelines, the growth nnd progress of our children’s families. - O Certainly one of the rewards of being a mother is becom­ ing a grandmother—able to enjoy our sons’ and daughters’ children to the full, while leaving the responsibility for them in other hands. The war, which has changed so many things, has changed this too. When the war took our sons—when it broke up our children’s homes—it gave back to America’s grandmothers responsibilities which we had passed on long ago. Tlie privi­ lege of growing older quietly has been denied the women of our generation while this war lasts. . For today, our grandchildren need our help. And it is in our power to give them greater help, perhaps, than any grandparents ever gave before. • . 1*44 We can give this help by buying War Bonds and Stamps —for our children’s children. And no other single thing that we can do will help so much, or in so many different ways. Every dollar put info War Bond* now does many all­ important jobs today—and will do many more in the future. War Bonds can help to bring fighting fathers back to their families next year—the year after—as soon as possi­ ble. War Bonds can provide those families now with aid in case of illness or emergency. War Bonds can help assure an education for a boy whose father comes back crippled —or does not come back at all. War Bonds can help to guarantee, a busy, prosperous America for our sons when they return—an America in which our grandsons can find all the opportunities they need to lead the fullest, happiest lives in all the world. The Grandmothers’ War Bond League is simply a way pf recognizing and uniting the millions of American grand­ mothers who are today buying War Bonds and Stamps for their grandchildren. Every one who buys a Bond or Stamp in a grandchild’s name automatically becomes a member. Join the Grandmothers' War Bond League today! Th* Grandmother*’ League was founded by Mrs. George C. Marshall, wife of the Army Chief of Staff. It is not a formal club. It is simply a roll of honor, which grand­ mothers automatically belong to when they buy bonds, or start stamp albums, for their grandchildren. Mrs. Marshall urges every grandmother in America to help the fighting men today ... and thpir children tomorrow, by joining the Grandmothers’ War Bond League. \ MORE THAN BEFORE!

It was employed for walls, floors and ceilings in office build­ ings and homes; for cold storage and refrigeration plants; refrigera­ tors, boilers, pipes, etc. Other tasge amounts of cork went Into tffc preparation of linoleum, cork tiling and other floor coverings, gaskets for America's millions of auto­ motive engines and other machines: life jackets, life rafts and similar marine equipment; and bottle stop­ pers. In addition, thousands of tons of cork were used for such miscella­ neous articles as cigarette tips, baseball cores, inner soles for Shoes, penholder tips, fishing bobbers, fit­ tings for laboratory equipment, de­ coy ducks and mooring buoys for boats. The world's cork supply comes from strips of territory near and along the shores of the Medi­ terranean which add up to a total area a^out equal to that of the state of New Jersey. One narrow belt stretches for more than 1.000 miles along the northern coast of Africa. Large patches of cork production occur along 1.500 miles of coastline in southern Portugal, southern and northeastern Spain, and southern France. Portugal is the most impor­ tant source of cork; its forests yield more than a quarter ot the world's supply. A few straggling cork oaks grow along the west coasts of Italy and Jugoslavia while forests of con­ siderable magnitude thrive in Cor­ sica. Sardinia and Sicily. U. S. Decorates Residence To House Official Guests Another famous residence in the nation's capital has been completely refurbished and decorated by lhe government for housing high official guests from foreign countries for whom the White House doe* not have adequate room, or the state and other government departments separate living accommodation*. It Is the celebrated Blair-Lee house, at 1B57 Pennsylvania avenue, oppo­ site Uie State department, and next door to Blair house, in which Euro­ pean kings and other heads of state have been accommodated on their visit* to Washington. The Blair-Lee house wa* so home of Betty Blair, a celebrated Washington belle who was a dough, ter of Francis Preston Blair. Betty Blair marsied and lived in the house with Admiral Samuel Phillips Loe, U. S. N., a distant cousin ot Gen. offered command of lhe Union armies in the Blair house next door, shortly before he chose to cast his lot with the Confederacy. A cursory glance would suggest that the Blair-Lee house and the Blair house constitute a single building, due to the similar paint styling, and In a sense, they are. for although architecturally sepa­ rate. and actually painted in dif­ ferent tints, their close similarity of facade, which is practically un­ broken. and the use for which they are intended, cements them into a single Institution. The demands upon the Blair house have outgrown its capacity, and the Blair-Lee house will now constitute a suitable and dignified annex compatible with lhe requirements of distinguished national guests. Canada Land Rich in Rewurces and Industry The self-sealing fuel cells in lhe wings of bombers are as fireproof as tt ts possible to make them, but when they are punctured by enemy bullets a certain amount of gasoline escapes before the rubber swells to close the holes. If allowed to flow into open wing spaces around the tanks, the gasoline would form a highly fiamptable and explosive mix- reducing this fire hazard was to fill the wing spaces around lhe fuel cells with a lightweight spongy ma­ terial that would soak up the leak­ ing gasoline. Sponge rubber, or latex foam, yas used until the rub­ ber shortage made It unobtainable for the purpose. Then technical men at Wright field and at North Ameri­ can Aviation and Bell Aircraft be­ gan a search for another material. Cellulose sponges were Jrled with satisfactory results. Tens of thou­ sands of cubic feet of the fine pore variety, originally designed for such fobs as washing delicate photo graphic negatives, have been used on the assembly lines ot airplane companies An omelet has the reputation for being difficult to make but it I* simple if you follow a few essential steps. In making n fluffy omelet, lhe white and yolk of the egg are beaten separately — the whites until stiff and the yolks until very thick and- light in color. The well-beaten yolks are then folded lightly and quickly into lhe stiffly beaten whites until thoroughly blended. Cooking should be started at once in a heated skillet coated with a film of melted butter. Cooking is continued over a very low fire or in a very moderate oven <325 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 20 minutes. If cocked on top ot the stove,. slip the skillet into a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for two to five minutes at the end in order to dry and slightly brown the top. This plain, puffy omelet can be made with one teaspoon salt to six eggs for. seasoning For interesting variety add tomato0 juice — one tablespoon for each egg — to the partially beaten egg whites and con­ tinue beating until stiff. Orange juice or other fruit or vegetable juices may be used. Chopped ham, bacon, cheese or fruit may be sprinkled on the half surface of th« omelet before the other half is folded over it. Paul Bunyan Paul Bunyan is one of the few mythological figures of American folklore. He was created in the tall tales told around the camp fires in i the early logging camps. Many ■ books have been written about his exploits In which he is depicted as a giant lumberjack capable of per- j forming herculean feats. For in­ stance. It Is said that he is capable of cutting, down a whole forest with ’ one swing of his mighty ax. In com-i pany with Babe, his great blue ox. ' he roams the forests, performing | prodigious deeds and winning for himself an unchallenged position as i a hero of American legend. In the i pioneer days when lhe country was i young it needed space to grow and I wood with which to build, and Paul I was simply a fabulous wood­ chopper. I U. S.

Others Were locked, no one in them, and no information as to whether they It would seem that the owners of lake cottages should, when they va­ cate their summer homes, or do not intend to occupy them at all. get in touch with Mr. Green and name a rental price for their cottages. They would be perfectly safe to leave the keys to their summer homes with him. W« are sure those who know Geo. Green know that he deserves such confidence. If Mr. Green had the information about these cottages, including tire rental price, the cottage owners could be getting a good return on their property, and they would help to build up the resort business of the county. We hope that will be done in the future.

THE HOME FRONT Lizzie Calms' and I often think of Elm Street” Being on thc job 24 hours every day. ready at a snap of a switch to furnish light and power in thousands of homes, offices and factories, is not an easy wartime assignment. And with 513 "... I’m a long way from home out here, and when I’m alone at night. Dad, I often think of Elm Street with its big trees, its neat houses, the bells on a quiej Sunday morning—and all of'us coming in town for church. It’s the peace and freedom and decency of it all that gets undir my skin—and it makes me a bit homesick now and then. "There’s nothing like Elm Street over here—and never will be till these folks change their system. an obstacle race to try and keep on supplying you with the kind of service you have grown accus­ tomed to. Our men and women are working cult to get equipment and materials necessary to repair your appliances and to keep the power flow­ ing uninterrupted to homes and vital war plants. But thny am doing It. You don’t hear much about these people. I know. Little, if anything, is ever said aboilt the grand job they are doing in order to meet today’s greatly inc^ased demands for electric power, power that helps to turn out our country’s guns, ships, planes and tanks. No, there isn’t even an Army-Navy E award to spur them on. t’take my hat off to these home-front soldiers ct toasted.

"Thc trouble lies with the men who rule—and with the people who let them get away with it. "Over here the wrong men have been running things too long. They have been crazy with power. They gradually took over more and more, and when the people finally woke up—it was too late. These folks can’t throw out their officials the way we can. They have to have a war to get rid of their so-called 'new order.’ "Thank God we can still put the men we want into office—and throw them out again—with ballots instead of bullets. • "This mess is a fine example of what dictatorship and regimentation can do when they really get going. And talk about bureaucrat^—you ought to see what the ones over here arc doing to farmers. You can’t do anything un your own. Vou just take orders—and like it. "Wc ordinary folks at home alwaya had a feeling of independence and self respect. You and Mom went always looking ahead to betttr things—for yourselves and for qs kids. That sort of thing is missing here, Dad —and I think it’s the result qf years of being pushed around. These folks have been told what to do and when and how to do it for so long that they don't know any­ thing else. They’ve forgotten bow to think for (jwmsclves. "Don’t let this system get a toe hold at home, Dad. It’s bad stuff. And the trouble is, it sneaks up on you. You don’t realize that it’s got you till it’s almost too late. "I think most American farmers arc just like us—plain, practical, hard working, thrifty people—blessed with a lot of good common sense. Most of us aren’t very strong for fancy political theories. We know by experience that the American way of getting things done, even with its short-comings, has brought more real happiness, prosperity, progress, education, health and general good to more people than any other system in the world.

(In addition to lhe gasoline they use, it costs Uncle Sam TWO HUN­ DRED MILLION DOLLARS to build 1,000 4-motored bombers . . . plus the cost of training the 10,000 men who make up their crews!) • UPPOSE, in the dusk of an English evening, 1,000 huge bombers soar over thc Channel and head for Berlin. S By thc time those planes return to England, their motors will have consumed 2,400,000 •gallons of gasoline! Thc cost ... of the gasoline ALONE . . . will be more than $380,000. ' V To pay for thc gasoline ujed on ONE such raid, 96,00b Americans would have to invest nt least 10 percent of their next pay check in _ War Bonds! I . reqaltH itr nt (hr You get a big kick out of reading about those 1,000-planc raids., .You know that such raids, if repeated often enough, will soften up thc Axis. But . . . I- Modem war is expensive business . . . its cost runs into fantastic figures. 30,000,000 r American wage earners are now putting an average of 10 percent of each pay check into War Bonds every pay day . . . but still it. isn’t enough! Our air raid* on thc Axis arc increasing in frequency and intensity. When land opera­ tions really get going, the cost will be staggering. . More and more Americans must join the Pay-Roll Savings Plan . , . more than those already in the Pay-Roll Savings Plan must begin to jack up their War Bond purchases . . . must stout to invest mors than 10 percent! . , Remember War Bonds are thc finest investment in the world today. You get back $4 for every $3 you invest. And . . . the more War Bonds you buy now, the quicker the Axis will be licked . . . and the less thc war will cost in the. long run. . Think it over.

Four years ago, he felt the way many of us feel today. He thought the war was as good as wom H He had reason to think so. Far more reason than we_have. France was his. England was bloody after Dunkerque. The German Army seemed invincible. But the war wasn’t almost over. And now it is our armies that are on thc march. It is our bombers blast­ ing German cities. Victory is in our grasp. It’s up to us to see that we don’t let it slip through our fingers thc way Hans did. Most of us know that this is the military crisis of this war—the time when our fighting men must give everything they have, not once in a while but hour after hour—day after day. But this alone is not enough. The lives of brave men are not enough. Money is needed too. For this is the 'financial crisis of the war just as surely as It is the military crisis. Millions of dol­ lars’ worth of equipment is being destroyed in battle. The money to replace it must come from us, and come quickly. If every last one of us here at home will try to match '■ the constant, day-to-day drive of the men who fight our battles, we’ll raise that money. -The way to do it is to put every cent we can possibly invest into p.S. War Bonds. Not some of us. All of us. Not once in a while during a drive, but regularly ... every pay day. Can we do the job that Hans couldn’t do? Can wc—voluntarily—keep making sacrifices when Vic­ tory seems just around the comer?

Number one amendment permits any city or village to sell water outside lu corporation limits “in such amount as may be determined by the legtolaUve body of the city or village." Present constitutional provisions limit Use amount of water sold out­ side tlte corporate limits of lhe city or village to 35 percent of that sold within the city or village. The pro­ posed amendment would retain Ute 35 percent outside sale restriction for light, heal, power, and trans­ portation. 4 Amendment No. 2 Tills amendment modifies and clarifies thc present constitutional Kovision prohibiting members of e legislature from accepting "civ­ il appointment within this state or to tile Senate of the United States from lhe governor—or from the governor*and senate, from the legislature, or any other s'ate au­ thority, during the term for which he Is elected."7hto applies primar­ ily to members of trie legislature who wish to be candidates for stale offices* The proposed amendment permits legislators id seek and obtain elec­ tion or appointment to oilier slate offices “without resigning as a member of the legislature In such cases in which lhe term of said state office does not overlap the term oi office for which the mem­ ber of tile legislature is elected." This amendment would raise the pay of legislators from 83 per day to 85 per day. This la figured on the basis of every day for tile two year term for which a member of the state senate or house of repre­ sentatives ir elected, regardiesa of the number of days lhe legislature is in aeaston. In 1938 an amendment raised the legislators' pay from 1800 for two yean or 83 per day. or about 11,100 per year. Amendment No. 4. This amendment deals with tljc reorganization of Wayne county and is wliat Its sponsors call the "home rule amendment". It is nut an amendment to any existing pro­ vision but adds a section to Article Vm of the Constitution. It is in substance similar to the •unendment refected by the voters in 1943. Primarily It allows Wayne county to reorganize its county government under a charter adopted by tlie electors of aald county on an en­ tirely new and different basis than other counties of the state. Certain restrictions-as to the type of charter permtuible are contained In lhe amendment, however. Under Ute proposed amendment the Wayne county charter "ahall provide for: a chief executive; a legislative 'body of not to exceed 21 membeni elected from single dis­ tricts arranged as nearly os mxy be according to population, provid­ ed that not more than two-thirds of Mid members xliull be from Che City of Detroit and they may be elected by dlslrlcla or ut large"; non-partisan nominations of elec­ tions: and a system of civil service. Thus, the amendment does away entirely with township representstlon’ in county government and sets up new districts. -•* * *• 1 —....... ~------------------------------------- _ On The Home Front VII ■ uw BIWIIBC TIUIH (Continued from Page 1.

THURSDAY, AUGUST », 19M PAGE SIX THANKS FOR THE LIFT, AMERICA! *11 Over the World, Our Fighting Men Salute the Home­ Front for “Backing the Attack" in the 5th War loan Drive. The 5th War loan Has Gone Over the Top! You’ve attained every one of the 5th War Loan objectives—and then some! The overall goal, corpor­ ate and individual, was $16 billion; $20,639,000,000 was realized.' The individual goal was $6 billion; $6,330,000,000 ineiimin^n was realized. The “E” or "People’s" Bond goal-the most important element in the individual quota, and the hardest one to make—was $3 billion. $3,036,000,000 was realized. The American public has scored not only a re­ sounding Victory on the home-front, but the greatest one to date! For this inspiring demonstration of “Democtacyin-Action,” our fighting men on all the far-flung battlefronts of the world give thanks for the lift. The spirit you have shown gives reassurance of support to those on the long and bloody road to Berlin . . . and Tokyo. Every man, woman and child in America may well thrill with pride at the success of this unprec­ edented drive-the greatest war-financing opera­ tion the world has ever known. This includes the millions who “dug deep" to buy extra Bonds and the untiring volunteers who helped sell them—the whole cavalcade of America galvanized into action on a spontaneous voluntary basis But just as the battle continues with ever mount­ ing fury, so We on the home-front must continue to “back the attack.” As General Eisenhower has said: "Satisfactory as is the progress of ■ this battle to date, in magnitude it is but a mere beginning to the tremendous struggles that must follow before final victory is achieved. "To this'end we need every man, every weapon, and all the courage and fortitude of our respective peoples. The Allied soldier will do his duty.” O Yes—and we on the home-front will do our duty, also. Let no man think that in such heart-stirring / times as these, when our boys are facing their most crucial weeks and months ahead, that the part we play in buying Bonds is trivial compared to their earth-shaking deeds and heroic challenging of death. Far from trivial, our home-front tasks are today more important than ever.

FINNIE MOVING AND STORAGE KALAMAZOO RENDERING WORKS Dick Smith—Local Collator TuSSiF THAT wear-defying toughness in Wolverine Shell Horsehides is mighty important these days. It means, first of all, months and miles of money-saving extra wear for you. It also means that you and millions of others won’t need work shoes nearly so often and the limited supply will go much farther. But don’t forget that Wolverines are not only tough and wear resist­ ant but they’re also soft as Duckskin and flexible as bamboo—they even dry out that way after soaking. That means a world of extra comfort so you can work longer, work harder and do more without tiring. See us, get the facts. �THE HASTINGS BANNER HASTINGS. MICHIGAN. THURSDAY.

HASTINGS HIGH SCHOOL TUITION FOR NON-RESIDENTS PAID BY THE STATE It Is The Patriotic Duty Of Every Boy And Girl Who Has Completed The Eighth Grade To Continue Their Education. You Are Cordially Invited To Attend The HASTINGS HIGH SCHOOL Six courses are offered: College Preparatory, Commercial, Agricultural, Apprentice Training, Day Trade and General. Special advantages are offered students to participate in dramatics, debating, ath­ letics, orchestra, band ond glee club. Numerous school societies provide valuable training. Few high schools can offer more to students than can Hastings High School. Here there is a friendly, helpful atmosphere, thoroughly trained teachers, complete tzourses of study, supervised out­ side activities, athletic opportunities, unequalled musical opportunities, a full year of school and no tuition beyond that paid by the State. The High • School curriculum has been revised so as to conform with the new, more liberal college entrance require­ ments, and to provide for individual differences. Much wider opportunities ore offered in both instru­ mental and vocal music. Two full time shop teachers are employed. This will give more time and emphasis to the preparation necessary for positions in indus­ try. The Hastings High School is known throughout the State for its wholesome influence over the stu/dents. It is the only high school in Barry county that is a member of the North Central Association of Schools and Colleges. This means that graduates may be admitted, without examination to all the leading colleges in the North Central section of the United States. With on attendance of over 600 students and a faculty of 26 high school teachers, opportunities are offered which are not possible in a smaller high school. Each non-resident boy or girl receives indi­ vidual attention and is welcomed by both students and teachers. We have a full time physical director for boys and one for girls. We also hove o Dean of Girls to look after the social welfare of girls while they are attending school here. .

Sure have a good taste of prickly heat too. Never knew there was such a thing before in my life. There • have been some changes in my life in the last counte of yean. My correspondence has been ne­ glected lately, haven't kept up on it at all. Working and the heat are thc answer I guess. Of course. I'm a bit lazy with the other! Well, it is very near the end of July My how lhe time does slip by. but not too fast for me. I'm only hoping for it to hurry to "Vic­ tory- Day" then I hope for none of that extra six months for ine. but I suppose III no doubt get some of that too.

Attack will bring you back $4 ten years from now when you may want and need those dollars much more than you do today. • So, keep on buying Bonds with every dollar you can scrape up. Hang on to them against all tempta­ tion. There’s no better way to back up your fighting men. There’s no better way to be sure of having the good things, the good life, in the world of tomorrow.

It means, first of all, months and miles of money-saving extra wear for you. It also means that you and millions of others won’t need work shoes nearly so often and the limited supply.will go much farther. But don’t forget that Wolverines are not only tough and wear resist­ ant but they’re also soft as buckskin and flexible as bamboo—they even dry out that way after soaking. That means a world of extra comfort so you can work longer, work harder and do more without tiring. See us, get the facta. jnn �THE HASTINGS BANNER HASTINGS. MICHIGAN. THURSDAY.

Mich. September. 1944 Dear Friends in the !-Bervice: I have wondered just what you boys and glejs would like to hear about. I know if I were away from home I would like to hear just and put into words happenings around Base Line Community and Assyria Center. I suppose by now you have all heard about how hot and dry it has been here this summer. The farmers are getting ready to fill their silos now because the coni is just about beyond saving. The Oliver Farm Equipment ■ Co. a* Battle Creek have built a machine that cute the corn and chops it up bi the field. It was brought out to the Lester Barry farm to be tried uut. It worked fine I am told: It will save a lot of work.at silo fill­ ing time. If it Is the unusual things that you would like to hear about. Old Man Weather seems to be one of them. A year ago In June we had ■bout 12 inches of rainfall with July following up with nearly a& much. This year we have hud less than one inch In July and August. Last year. Muy 16. lightening struck trie Base Line Church and it burned to the ground. Il was immediately decided to rebuild. Labor and material were scarce. Several people offered standing timber. During June when we were having so much rain the men of the neighborhood cut logs and had them sawed Into lumber. - The weather was hot and the mosqui­ toes were thick and green logs heavy, so they realized a little what some of you boys have to go through with. Mr. Glenwood Angus hauled the logs to his mill and the men helped him saw the logs into lumber. They sowed 20.000 feet of lumber. Guy Hamilton was hired us head carpenter. All other help we begun iutvlng services In our new church. Il was pretty airy and chilly The wind blew up through cracks in the floor but that made the men work just that much hatder to get the church finished. The ladles did their part by putting,on dinners for the men when they were working there. Our first Community Night was a Hal­ loween social held In the basement of the new church. We held our Community Thanksgiving and also had n Christ mu* party In Ute church. By this time the plastering was nil done and the second floor laid and by Easter the interior was completely done. Now stone is be­ ing laid to complete the outside and to correspond with the bell tower. Doing this vfork during the rainy weather and winter, did not conflict with the war effort. Wc have a larger and better church than wc had before and hope it will make a better Community for you boys to come home to. Tiie Base Line 4-H Club Is going strong. We do miss our older mem­ bers and the ones who are now in the Service. Dr. Luther West helped Bose Line. 4-H Club get started. He is now a Captain and is In Washington. D. C. in toe medi­ cal corps. Rex Maxson did a lol for all the 4-H club members. He Is now pharmacists mate in the Coast Guard. Now about the boys who are now In the service. There Is Harold Smith, soh of Mr. and Mrs. Ray­ mond Smith who has been In the Marines four years this fall. He trained at Parris Isle and West Virginia. He was then sent to New Foundland where he spent 2*4 years. During that time he had two furloughs. He is now stationed In Philadelphia. Dick West Is attend­ ing the Military Academy at West Point. New York. Ronald Mulvan­ ey is now 2nd lieutenant In the air force. He Is stationed In Florida. Cpl. Carroll Vandlen has been in the service, nearly three years, most of toe time In New Mexico and Arizona. When home in July on furlough he seemed to spend considerable time In Saginaw, I wonder why? Cpl. Verden Vandlen spent three months In England and is now somewhere in France. He writes of large apple orchards In the section where ne is but the apples are not ripe yet. Cpl. James Berry, son of Mr. and Mrs. Mark Berry is stationed In England with a medical unit. Rumor has It he’s Interested In an English school­ teacher. Now a little for the boys whose home Is around Assyria. Harold Lnmpklc. son of Mr. and Mrs. Har­ ry Lampkle Is tn New Guinea. Maurice Hamilton, son of Mrs Will Hamilton Is stationed lit 'Scotland Robert Jordp Is In Camp Glen­ ville near Evansville. Illinois. At present the location of Wilbur Hal­ stead Is unknown. His brother Les­ ter Is in Australia. He was married on May 6 to an Australian girl. I hear toe girls over there are pret­ ty nice. Wonder if they will come back and live in Barry County. Dale Bird is In Percy Jones hos­ pital. He was Injured in the Nor.mondy invasion. Burr Manning Vnd Bernard Tungate have both been home recently on a furlough. Shirley Schroder Is in the Marines doing telephone line work. George Vaughn is in New Guinea. Sheldon Russell is in the southwest pacific. DeWayne Serven 1* In the navy doing radio work. It Is Interesting to note DeWayne and Junior New-' berry mot In Hawaii. Wayne Davis is on M. P. duty in a camp in Illin­ ois. Mr. and Mrs. Terpenning of Shortages Here of Butter and Sugar There were days last week when neither sugar non butter could be supplied by local dealers. The same situation occurred in other West Michigan cities; even Grand Rap­ ids could not supply sugar to cus­ tomers. The big West Michigan peach crop and toe use of sugar for canning no doubt explains the sugar shortage. Big purchases of butter by the government for army and navy needs probably is the reason for butter scarcity. U. S.

Q-Suppose my first 10 ducks were all mallards. Can I shoot 5 more mallards for a total of 15? A—Yes, and the answer would be the same if you asked about plalall* or widgeons. Q—Can I kill 5 more black ducks If I have a bag limit of IQ? A—No. The black duck la not a mallard although often erroneously called a black mallard. Q—What about canvasbacks, red-heads and buffieheads? A—This year you may take a daily bag of 10 canvasbacks, 10 redheads or 10 buffieheads. But not more than 10 in toe aggregate of all 3 kinds.

ROOM Plan for Further Aid to Barry County Service Men At a nieetlng of the US.O. com­ mittee on Tuesday plans were made to close the local UB.O. room because it is no longer need­ ed for service men, The closing of the Clear Lake Coast Guard camp finished the original functioning of the room. However, under the cooperative plan* with the Youth Council toe room wos subsequently used os a Youth Center and UB.O. The use of the room for youth activities proved the need for such a project and plans along this line are now under consideration by the Youth Council and toe new youth director Ted Bennlnk. Any person os organization who contributed articles of furniture or couipment to the room may re­ claim them if thev so desire other­ wise all furnishings at the room will be given to the Youth Council for a new youth center. There is a considerable sum of money which is in the UB.O. treas­ ury and at the next meeting the record* will be completed^ and dosed and the problem of how the funds available will be used to help Barry County service men will be decided. If you have any sugges­ tions regarding this matter the U.S.O. will be glad to have them. A complete financial report will be printed in this paper at a later date. . The room will be vacated by the first of October after which time the Beverwyk Dutch Craft Paint store will move there from its present location.

When the front moves up, the Army Signal Corpsman is in there where the fighting's thickest... dodging machine­ gun slugs and mortar bursts ... stringing phone wires across the 'battered face of Europe ... keeping foxhole outposts in Ciftistant touch with headquarters behind the lines. And because of his quiet courage and cool-headed skill under fire, the Army's lines of communication keep busy ... and kegp going forward with every step our fighting men advance. It's a job we of the railroads can appreciate and understand. For today our lines are busy, too ... busier than they have ever been before.

I got a ride and was able to get bock on time. It has rained steady here for the last three days and looks as If there will be no let up. Even the ducks are walking here now.

Spray DDT on a screen-and a fly that walks on that screen three months later dies. Or take “Aerosol"—a new way of releasing pyrethrum in a gas. One small drop of pyrethrum, when released by means of an aerosol, will kill every “skeeter" in a room 12 x 12 x 7 in one minute!

It is a reliable source of highly stable vitamin D. . Milk is a vital food to a na­ tion at war—produce all you can. We believe Stock Tonic will help you produce it at a profit. -' .

Sincerely. . Lois Kenyon Greetings All—and this week that comes right from the heart of old Barry county that for our money, to one of the most glorious sights in the whole world this time of year. Hie trees are turning, brll. IIant reds, yellows, and all inbe­ tween shades; by contrast the many lakes never looked so blue; there's a snap In the air—you know how ‘tto—the hunting season opens Sunday—you wish you were home, end we wish you were too. But never fear, there'll be other au? tumns, ns beautiful as this—there'll be great days coming, and so In­ stead of wishful thinking we look ahead to a wish come true. Speaking of the magnificence of - Nature like this reminds us that such a search for beauty was what prompted, (that sure to be voted the best looking H.H.S guy of the senior class) Tom Dolan, to start out by bike for Gun lake. It was a search for beauty but not so much in a general sense because the object of his direction Is named Barbara, a most delectable blonde. You see even the gas shortage can't curb the spirit of you and so Tom peddled along the highway with never a thought or care—but that was on the trip to the lake— the return jaunt was different. You see on the way home it began to get dark, in fact very dark, and besides that from the ride out and everything Tom was very sleepy. Then there are stones along the road and ditches at the sides,—a tot of you fellows have told about difficulties encountered in night maneuvers, like you had in train­ ing we mean, so you know what Tom was up against. Well, he finally made it. which must surely set some kind of rec­ ord or other. At ony rate, we claim Tom deserves some sort of special recognition for such a feat so we hope that when graduation roll* 'round, that Tom's fellow class­ mates will give him some appro­ priate memento to commemorate this bike hike—and from what we hear the end result of this esca­ pade was not unlike that resulting from a session of horseback riding, if you know what we mean. Now a report of why Royal Haye*, (son of good guy Ernie Hayes, custodian at Central and H.HS„ who wins the esteem, etc. of/the gals because he always says, “Hello good looking^.") who helps his dad up at school has taken one of the most fancy bits of josh­ ing that the teachers have gone In for. (This to very bad to be so gramaticallv Incorrect when speak­ ing of teachers > Anyway, there to a new baby at Royal's house, of which they are duly proud, and along with qther expressions of joy came a congratulatory telegram which has caused the teachers to cajole poor Royal from mom' till night.

The Pt< Administratrix Files Suit to Settle Estate A chancery suit wa* started in lhe Circuit court last week by Mary Townsend us the administratrix of the estate of Millie Butolph. de­ ceased. against Fred Butolph and fourteen other persons. In the bill of complaint the ad­ ministratrix alleges that one of thc assets of the Millie Butolph estate is an undivided one-third interest In 20 acres of land on section 14. Carltan township. She alleges that the defendants claim an interest in,this 20 acres, but that she has been unable ta reach any agree­ ment with them that will cnible her ta close the estate, by realizing on this asset. Accordingly she asxs for court relief so she can settle the estate. She asks: tl) Partition of the land among those whom the court shall deter­ mine as the owners, if that can be done In lustice and fairness ta all concerned. (2) If partition doe* not seem the just way to settle the owner­ ship, then she asks that the prop­ erty be sold, under a decree of the court, and the proceeds divided equitably among the owners, ac­ cording ta their respective interests In the property. (3) That the respective rights and Interests in the property of all concerned be ascertained and de­ clared by the court’s decree PASSING OF MRS.

THE FORD TRACTOR WITH FERGUSON SYSTEM MAKES A CHILD’S FINGER TIPS DO A STRONG MAN’S WORK Your boy, while he is still small, can get out in the field and get the feel of being a producer—thanks to today's really modern farming machine, the Ford Tractor with Ferguson System. A child can set ground tools and raise them all day without feeling it’s work because a light touch of his finger tips on a small control lever does away with the hard back and arm labor of tugging ropes and pulling heavy levers.

SHGe STORE The New Dealers; the Communist*; Sidney Hillman, with Iris Political i Action Committee of the CIO (and in truth hc does not represent the rank land file of the CIO. for the overwhelming majority is patriotic and in’dustrious) have ordered the people of thi* District to defeat me and, elect ! in my place someone who they think will follow __ L------ --------------- ■ their orders, be their “yes-man,” a “rubber-stamp." - Inasmuch as they say they oppose ine because j of my voting record, it follows that they would j have favored and they now favor the things which J opposed. Just where does that leave them and 'the man who is their candidate? Logically they ■ «up|>ort the measures I opposed— Before Pearl Harbor I opposed war. as ihd 9(Jr' of our people. They criticize me for that op1 position. Were they in favor of war? If not. why ----■ ■ ..... do they condemn me for mv opposition? I opposed the boondoggling, the waste, the extravagance, and the [ inefficiency of the New Dealers. They condemn me for so doing. Nectcssarily then, my political opponents favored those things. But the over‘whelming majority of the'people of this District did not and I do not | believe they do now. I I opposed the ap|x>intment and the retention in office of. aliens, of 1 Communists, who do not believe in our form of government or it* methods, j Do my opponents and The candidate they would elect favor the retention itr Federal jobs of the members of a partv which would overthrow our Government bv force; of those who would accomplish the same end by subterfuge? . I advocate every measure which will aid in winning the war q* soon as it can be done with the least possible IcAs of life ami suffering, ami the return of our fighting men when this war is over. Do my political opponent? and their candidate favor keeping our fighting men in Europe indefinitely to fight in any future wars in which European politicians may become involved? I opposed the plan to haul down the Stars and Stripe*, surrender our independence, hoist the flag of Union Now or some other Hag. repudiate our Declaration, of Independence, our Constitution. Do my political op­ ponents now advocate the adoption of a new flag.'a new form of gov­ ernment ? Because I insist that my country, our men - your sons, husbands and bothers - be given first consideration, my political opponent* ask you to vote against me. , My position on every public question, my voting record, is open to the people. It has been consistent. They have approved it. Now. if my opponents and their candidate believe in the opposite, that is, in boon­ doggling, in waste, in extravagance, in inefficiency, in lawlessness and violence (and I opposed the sit-down strikes and all strike* in wartime), kt them tell the people of the District that fact and no longer confine themselves to false charges about me. Let them tell what they or their candidate, if elected, will do. Let them give some assurance that any promises they make will be kept. 1 It is for the people of this District to decide whether they want Sidney Hillman, with his slush fund, to choose their Representative, nr whether they prefer to have a man who has confidence in our people - faith in our form of government.

Island Outposts and Bams The future welfare of thc nation requires that the United Slates own or control sush island outposts and bases as a(e essential to our na­ tional security. Every effort should be made to obtrun such outposts and bases wherever needed. Prosperous Agriculture Both employment and national welfare require a stable, prosperous agriculture with an effeetlve and efficient soil, water and forest con­ servation program. •» Vigorous development of home and foreing markets and new uses' for agricultural products developed through constant research also are essential. Univeraal Military Training We believe that jxincetlme uni­ versal military training in the United States is essential in order: That the nation may remain at peace an<l may preserve its demo­ cratic way of life. That its manhood may learn thc value of national unity through the spirit and practice of national ser­ vice. That its taiora! and physical well­ being be developed. FW these reasons we declare our support of the principle of uni­ versal military training and urge the immediate enactment of fed­ eral legislation toward that end.

It always makes sense when you're stuck in the middle of a stream on a tired horse to change over to a new mou(|f Gov. Thomas E. Dewey represents the ability and energy we need to reach the other shore. Mr. Dewey is a gifted young liberal who sees a brilliant future ahead of this nation of ours. But lib­ ero! ideas and confidence in the future are not enough. It takes un­ usual executive ability to bring' liberal ideas down to o practical work­ ing level. Mr. Dewey has that talent. His record as a racket-busfing special prosecuting attorney in New York City, as prosecuting attorney of New York City and as governor of the state of New York all stand.as unanswerable testimony to his executive abilityTNot one of Mr. Dewey's opponents has yet come forward with any criticism of his past recordTHAT IN ITSELF INDICATES HE HAS DONE A SUPERB JOB. It will also take a great executive performance to pull us out of the New Deal bog where we are now stalled-a bog of executive muddling-a sticky morass of competing, disorganized, bickering, bureaus, boards and departments which literally smother any of the original New Deal liberal intent under the heavy shroud of Federal dictation and domineering. IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE BECAUSE WE NEED AMAN LIKE THOMAS E. DEWEY TO LEAD US FORWARD ONTO SOLID GROUND. Interest in the National Campaign has probably obscured the fact thot Gov. Harry Kelly has given our state the.best administration it has en­ joyed in many a year. His program of planning ahead for the post-war era has received nationwide acclaim. More constructive social legislation has been passed in the last two years than in any similar period since World War I. The public health program of Kelly's administration has attracted National attention. His fiscal policies have been sound and well'managed.

I Through New-Deal-controlled depression, for 10 years we have seen our liberties disappear. Year after year, millions have been forced to live on New Deal doles. Even Churchill, in 1937, accused thc New Deal, through its persecution of capital, of forcing the world back into another depression! To restore our liberties, protect our freedom of speech, our vote and our opportunities to progress, vote for Dewey's program. To preserve good government in Michigan, re-elect Governor Harry F. Kelly! DEWEY'S PROGRAM: An administration made up of the ablest men and women in America who will receive full authority to do their jobs and will be let alone to do them. An administration devoted to public service instead of bureaucratic bick­ ering. . ' An administration working in har- . mony with Congress. . An administration free from the influ­ ence of Communists and the domina­ tion of corrupt big city machines. An administration in which the Cabi­ net is restored as a responsible instru­ ment of Government. An administration in which you will not have to support three men to do one man's Job. • An administration in which the Con­ stitution is respected so that the liber­ ties of our people shall again bo secure. An administration which will root out waste and bring order out of chaos. An administration which will give , people of this country value received for the taxes they pay.

The 19th Amendment gave them the right to vote. It broke the bonds that held them from taking an active part in the development and progress of our nation. ■ There was no amendment to the Con­ stitution, no act on ’the statute books that set women free of household drudg­ ery. "Man works from sun to sun, woman's work is never done" was a timeless tradition that needed a power beyond legislation to change. That power was — is — electricity. Shackled to old fashioned methods and equipment for performing house- hold duties, the American woman would have found it impossible to devote the tjme and energy she has contributed to our war programs on the homefront. We cannot review the hundreds of successfully conducted civic and war ac­ tivity such as Bond Drives and Red Cross work, without giving much of the credit to the patriotic women of this country. ; Reddy Kilowatt, that ready, willing electric servant has saved them hours of drudgery and toil each day. He has helped them to meet the many demands that this war has placed upon them. For greater freedom from work and worry,' switch to Reddy Kilowatt.

' Iron Long in Use; Much Recast From Scrap The annual output of iron raises the question of what becomes ot such vast quantities uf such a dura­ ble metal. The United Stales ex­ ports more than a million tons ot Iron ore. all of It going to Canada Mil­ lions of tons also were exported an­ nually In the form of automobiles, machinery, household utensils and Tjie aggregate of small losses by corrosion, erosion or abrasion, in sunken ships and abandoned oil wells, in discarded tin cans and oth­ er bits ot steel too small for col­ lection as scrap, would probably run into millions ot tons in a century. thirds of the iron and steel con­ sumed in the United States in the past 90 years, in the form of build­ ings. bridges, railroad equipment, ships, automobiles, tools, machinery, pipes, bathtubs and many other arti­ cles. is believed to be still In service. Nearly » third of the total ton­ nage used has been repurchased by steel mills and foundries as scrap to be made into new iron or steel— morp than a half billion tons since JIM. The actual loss of iron com­ pared to the total mined is small.

You will probably be sur­ prised to leam that I am now somewhere in the Philippines. We were among the first troops to ar­ rive and for a few days the Japs threw everything in the book at us. We Were bombed, strafed by machine gun fire and also had a few snipers on us at times. Have witnessed some pretty tough sights since we landed. I traveled one day to a nearby town and passed within a short dis­ tance of the front lines where the Infantry was still fighting hard. Saw hundreds of dean Japs along the roadside. Have also witnessed plenty of air battles and two Zero’s were shot down in our immediate area. Thanks to Hie Navy air force and the P-38 Fighters which later arrived the pressure was goon relieved. However, we have had many sleepless nights and while it Is now practically Impossible ’ for the planes to Ret in during the day they do continue their nuisance raids at night which keep us up and down and spoil a good nights rest. One tends to get bold and ignore their raid alerts but then has oc­ casion to see or learn of bomb re­ sults in nearby areas and.then takes i all the precautions. I will not attempt to describe the ! hunger and poverty that we found , among the Filipino people. They have really suffered during the past two years and were all in rags. Many were wearing just a bare gar­ ment hand made from burlap and । their homes are bare. There is a great need for relief from lhe Red I Cross or other charitable organlxa. lions in the states. Despite their suffering and need they art a cheer­ ful people and clean as wax. They welcome every Yank and are anxious to do tor him. Money has no value to them and all they ask. is some­ thing to eat and to wear.

EVERY JAP WE KILL MAKES ‘ MY CHANCES OF GETTING HOME BETTER, ANO IT COSTS PLENTY TO KILL A JAP F you think Japan is a pushover—you’re fooling yourself, mister. Millions of fanatical Japanese are prepared to die for their country. Every Ameri­ can soldier, marine and sailor in the Pacific knows that he has a tough fight on his hands. You can’t tell them tbeir war is over! Even as you read these words, American men arc dying in the fight against Japan. I Look into your heart and ask yourself honestly: “Have I stopped fighting? Have I stopped buying War Bonds because I think the war is about over? ” You’re not a quitter; your answer is “No! ’’ It costs billions of dollars a month to fight Japan The fight in the Pacific calls for a highly specialized type of cqui[> ment. B-29.bombers that cost $600,000 in war bonds; M-4 tanks with bulldozer blades that cost $67,417; “alligators” that cost $30,000; millions of gallons of gas. Wc need more and costlier equipment than any war has ever called for. And that’s the reason for the 6th War Loan Drive. Just as long as a single Japanese aims ,a gun at our men—wc must continue to buy War Bonds. Once again you are asked to buy at least one extra $100 War Bond. Buy more if you possibly can. Not only is it for the final Victor}’—it’s for your future. Sign up for extra War Bonds on the. Payroll Plan. Welcome the Victory Volunteer when he or she calls at your home. Remember—the job in the Pacific is still terrific. W'e’re out to get japan in the 6tb JFfrr Loan Drive! WAR LOAN YOUR COUNTRY IS STILL AT WARFARE YOU ?

BUY WAR BONDS Christmas in America has always been a day of family participation, renewed friendship and generous hearts — all enveloped in the glow of that which is the finest in the character of man — human kindness. The traditional observance of Christmas this year carries another thought for all Americans — the terribly real appreciation of comfort and security in a land unmarked by the tragic desolation of war. In many homes service flags and empty chairs are mute evidence of thc sacrifices that arc necessary co keep our homes secure — our children safe and Christmas by our firesides—*■.not in the depths of bomb shelters. Millions of Americans in all parts of4 the world will turn their thoughts to the beauty and remembered joy» of Christmas at home. Our men and women in the service will unite with us as again the universal message of the Festival of Christ's birth offers sustenance to faith and renews the old yet ageless hope of thc world for ’peace on earth!’ .

WASHINGTON, D. C. Your telegram of December 14, demanding that Wards comply with the War Labor Boards order covering Wards four Detroit stores was obviously intended to give to the public the false impression that wages arc the major issue. The Board knows very well that Wards has offered to adopt the minimum wage rates recommended by the Board. The Board knows very well that Wards policy is to pay wages as high as or higher than those paid by other employers in the community for similar employ­ ment. The Board did not- base its wage recommendations upon the survey of competitive rates made by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Mr. Davis, Chairman of the War Labor Board, de­ liberately attempted in his December 16 press release to mislead the public into believing other­ wise. Wards only objection to any of the Board’s wage recommendations has been in those in­ stances where the Board has arbitrarily demanded that Wards substantially increase its rates above those of its competitors in the highly competitive retail field. The Board knows very well that the real issue arises .from its attempt to impose upon Wards a closed shop in the form of maintenance of membership together with the check­ off of union dues from wages. Wards has refused to agree to any form of closed shop or com­ pulsory union membership because the dosed shop violates the American principles of liberty and freedom. The Board is well informed as to Wards position. Mr. Davis is quoted in the press as threatening the cancellation of Wards priorities, the denial of scarce materials to Wards and the seizure of its business if Wards does not com­ ply with the Board’s demands. These arc the tactics by which the Board has dJtrccd innummcrablc employers into granting special privileges to labor unions. The Board knows very well that its orders cannot be legally enforced by such pun­ ishments. Congress, which is the sole law making authority under our constitution, omitted from the War Labor Disputes Act all provision which would have given Board orders the force of law. Congress included in the original draft of the law a section which would have made Board orders enforceable in the courts. Congress later removed this provision upon the writ­ ten request of Mr. Davis, who asked that Board orders be left as mere declarations which no one could be compelled to accept. Mr. Davis’ express reason for his request was that the Board would then not be “subject to court review of its decisions.” The Board knows very well that its orders arc consequently unenforceable. The Court of Appeals of th? District of Columbia has held at the request of the attorney general acting as counsel for the Board that orders of the War Labor Board arc merely “advice” which no one has any legal duty to obey. The court held that anyone who refuses to comply with orders of the War Labor Board is not defying a command of the government and that since the orders arc merely advisory no government official has the right to impose punishments on those who do not comply. The Supreme Court has refused to alter this decision. ■ The Board knows ver^wcll since its orders are legally unenforceable and since Con­ gress has not authorized any punishment for those who reject the advice of the Board that the reprisals with which it threatens Wards are necessarily illegal. The President of the United States knew this when he recently explained to Mr. Petrillo of the American Federation of Musicians why that union could not be compelled to obey a Board order. Wards has violated no law nor denied to any union entitled. Wards hds many times informed that Board that require Wards to violate the National Labor Relations Act. ship accept the Board’s advice and give to the Union special to be not only unfair and uneconomic but illegal. a privilege to which it is legally its dosed shop demands would Wards cannot in good citizen­ privileges which Wards believes The time has come for the Board to cease its threats of reprisal upon those who re­ ject its advice. The Board’s policy of granting special privileges to unions has led to a break­ down of collective bargaining and has encouraged strikes in time of war. The Board’s dis­ regard of the facts and its pretense of an authority which it docs not possess have destroyed the confidence of labor, industry and the public. The usefulness of the War Labor Board in the settlement of wartime labor disputes hu been destroyed. The best interests of employees and employers and the welfare of the American people demand that Congress face the realities of the country's need. The great problem of wages and the closed shop in time of war should be governed by law and must be solved by Congf&t. If the Board desires a further hearing Wards as always-will be happy to attend.

Burton &amp; Co. were listed as the proprietors of the "Republican Banner", which first appeared here on May 1, 1856, with Dr. C. S. Burton as the publisher and Norman Bailey as editor.<br /><br />Publication office was on the second floor of the Rower Block, whose address was given as "corner of State and Church"; which corner was not specified.<br /><br />The objective of this publication was to win support for the newly created Republican party and thus counteract the influence of the Barry County Pioneer, a Democratic journal that had been published here since 1851. No copies of the first three issues of The Banner were saved.<br /><br />Make-up on the first journal corresponded with a pattern typical of most local journals then published. Page one contained a few columns of advertising, fiction (often a continued story), and a short feature of no particular news value. Page one was the "literary" page.<br /><br />Page two contained the editorial barbs, along with state news, political articles, Washington items and news of the national and territorial giovernments. Page three contained a few items of local news, sandwiched inbetween the local and foreign news.<br /><br />Page four was usually solid with advertising and as such was the editor's "bread and butter" page....Locally it was the pattern until the early 1880s.<br /><br />Several changes in ownership and management occurred during the first two years of publication, with J. M. Nevins taking over ownership interests on July 16, 1857. With the issue of May 7, 1862, "The Republican Banner" became "The Hastings Banner". Editor Nevins thought the village had developed sufficiently during the past several years to merit this recognition.<br /><br />Another major change in the management of The Banner came when Nevins sold the newspaper to George M. Dewey of Niles on March 14, 1866, who then took over as editor and publisher. Dewey, an ardent Republican and somewhat of a crusader, gave considerable space to editorial comment and party affairs and also directed pointed paragraphs against the saloons and local traffic in liquor. Dewey was the grandfather of Thomas E. Dewey, Republican presidential nominee in 1944 and 1948. Editor Dewey on May 4, 1870 changed the format (and name) of the paper to "Hastings Republican Banner". <br /><br />A fire in December 1883 burned The Banner plant (located in the middle of the block on the north side of State St. across from the courthouse). Files and back issues from August 1880 to December 1883 and the January 4, 1884 issues are missing.<br /><br />The Banner was purchased by Marshall L. Cook and George Bower on July 21, 1880. They changed the name to "The Hastings Banner". M. L. Cook soon became the sole owner and remained so until July 7, 1887 when Albert Nishern (M. L.'s brother-in-law) joined him. Albert Nishern sold his interest on November 6, 1889 to William Cook (M. L.'s younger brother).<br /><br />The Cook brothers partnership held together (56 years) ... Richard Cook followed his father into the newspaper business, and Richard's son William joined him. So the Cook family ownership continued for 85 years, from 1880 to 1974, when Richard and William sold the paper to High Fullerton. J-Ad Graphics became the owners of "The Hastings Banner" in August of 1981. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
