[The World Has Never Seen A Nation
So Unified As United States Is Now
Japan struck the first blow in the Pacific war. While Japanese
envoys remained in Washington, ostensibly negotiating for a peaceful
settlement of Pacific problems, Japanese naval and air forces suddenly
attacked Honolulu and nearby army-navy bases last Sunday.
America has rightfully declared war and is at war with the tyrants
who seek to determine the world by force. The fact that Japan was
the aggressor technically relieves Germany of any obligation under
the tripartite pact to attack the United States. But we were nlieady
at war with Germany.
America is fighting for its life. All our thoughts an energies must
How be devoted to the task of winning.
The Japs and other members of the murderous gang of the Axis
will not find an America divided. Contrary to rumors reaching them
wo did not and do not have disunity. As President Roosevelt pointed
out recently there were only minor disagreements. . . not disunity.
The world has never seen a nation so unified in thought and pur-
pose as the United States is right now!
Our purpose is to drive the Japanese and their dictator pals and
what they stand for off of the face of the earth. This we must do
as swiftly and efficiently to survive.
Country Is Warned Of Steady
Price Increase, Rise In Cost Of Living
The cost of living has risen 11 per cent since the national emergency
began and a continuous rise could be expected at the rate of Us per
cent a month, the price administration has advised the country.
That would mean that by spring of next year living costs
would be up 20 per cent. It means a 20 per cent reduction in the
TOO MANY DRIVERS
As far out of the formula movio
territory as the title implies, “One
Foot in Heaven" is as refreshing-
ly different as it is richly enter-
taining.
The country minister (preacher in
rural Midwest parlance) and his
faithful wife come into their own
in this Warner Brothers picture
starring Frcdric March and Martha
Scott, From their early trials, at
times highly humorous, at others
semi-ragic, to victory in a rousing
struggle, and to final renunciation
of material comforts for the sake of
their Cause, they do themselves, and
their calling, proud.
The story is largely factual, being
based on Hnrtzell Spence’s biog-
raphy of his own minister father.
Young Spence, a former newspaper-
man, sub-titled the book, ‘‘One Foot
in Heaven," "the story of n prac-
tical parson."
From that sub-title, Wtimer
Brothers evidently took their cue
for the film. As Casey Robinson
wrote the screen play, and as the
players enacted it under the di-
rection of Irving Raper, “One Foot
in Heaven” is a practical motion
picture. While losing none of the
spiritual uplift of characters and
subject, it is first, last, and all the
time, entertainment.
standard of living of anyone who lives on a fixed income.
Such spiraling costs would be equivalent between now and next
April to a tax of something like 8 or 9 per cent on total incomes.
It is said that not all of the combined votes in Congress “could not
keep those prices from going to hell in a wheelbarrow.”

Dependable Natural Gas Service is not for this generation only. If Gulf
South Natural Gas reserves are properly conserved and utilized, there will be
enough of this precious fuel for the use of many generations to come.
These Companies and associated Company look always to the future . • •
to guard and conserve today’s unused Gas reserves for use tomorrow ... to
continue a never-ending search for new Gas-producing areas ... to drill
deeper wejls and tap new Gas reservoirs.
Our first job is to provide Dependable Natural Gas Service for Gulf South
communities and industries today .. . our next job is to plan for the future so
that the children of today may have the enjoyment and benefit of Natural Gas
Service ... so that Gulf South factories may continue to build and expand
with the assurance of an unfailing fuel supply.
