BENNIE DO
A letter from Bennie Dole-
zal, who is somewhere across,
to his sister Mrs. John Matus.
Dear Sister:
Must answer your letter
which I have received a few
days ago and must say that I
was surely glad to hear from
you again. So what are all of
you doing all these days? I
think that the boys are going
to school, aren’t they?
Yes, its so long since I saw
you and still one Would riot
think that the time passes away
so quickly as it did. Yes, a
year and a half is a long time.
I think that you see the win-
ter coming and I think it must
rain there too, just like here.
We still have nice warm wea-
ther, and some of the days it
still gets hot.
I think that by now you
must be thru with most of the
work arid how are they coming
at home? I have serif them a
letter today, and also a pack-
w age. I am glad that they had
WT received all those things. I am
sure that you have seen them,
and what do you have to say
w about it.
Yes I have also received a
letter from’ Mr. and Mrs. Emil
Matus. Yes, tell them* many
thanks, as it is impossible to
answer every body. But I am
always glad to receive your
letters and enjoy them and hope
that you never will be so busy
that you could not have time
to write.
I always find time to write,
and today I have ordered some
books, so I would have some-
thing to read now when winter
is coming. I received lots of
those news papers, the Shiner
paper and the New Home pap-
ers, but you know how it is
for papers to go so far as many
are missing, and besides air
mail, it takes such a long time.
re-tooled to produce airplanes, guns,
tanks and munitions of war. Where
will these companies get the money
necessary to resume the manufac-
ture of* automobiles when war
is ended?
The automobile industry happens
to be important, and there are thou-
sands of imdtfer industries which
will also face the same problem.
What will the'fnflliohs of workers
do when the demand for war ma-
chines stops? Ti ' ; "**'
What will happen to the domestic j'
market for farm products when ^
those millions of war workers rid
longer have jobs?
The stage" sedms set for an even
worse depression after World War II
than we suffered after World War I
unless right now we start to plan
about these surpluses.
It is comforting to learn that Con-
gress is now considering solhe plan
to prevent, or at least to ease, any
after-the-war depression.
War Profits for Peace-Time
Recovery.
The best plan seems to contem-
plate the dedication of. a portion of
war profits for the purpose of provid-
ing industry with the ready cash on
hand to quickly change to peace-
time activity and thus lessen the
shock to manufacturing arid agri-
cultural surpluses when the war is
ended.
A Recovery Bond program has
been suggested whereby each in-
dustry, big and little, will be re-
quired to invest at, least 20 per cent
ef Its war profits in Recovery Bonds
which do nbt bear interest until the
war is ended and which cannot be
sold by the purchaser until peace
Is declared, * * -■ •!***
Such a plan would build, at the
rate of almost a billion dollars a
yfcrif, 1 litigl1 recovery reW#*to
convert war industries to peace pro-
duction, launch new products and
maintain employment. It would
place this reserve immediately and
automatically in the hands of those
businesses and industries with the
greatest after-the-war needs.
The moment peace is declared the
“time lock” automatically releases
this recovery reserve, the bonds be-
come negotiable and begin to draw
interest. Purchasers holding them
will then treat them like any other
Government bonds, to be sold or
used to borrow money. There would
be no waiting for a post-war Con-
gressional appropriation, no red
tape, and no delay in launching the
business and industry offensive that
may turn threatened depression into
unrivaled prosperity.
The plan is simple, practical and
fair.

Board to keep until maturity
date when the money will be
used for the School activity
fund. The Student Council of
the local High School is to be
commended for its unanimous
vote to use the money received
in this way.
Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Valek and
Mr. W. C. Schmidt drove over
to Moulton Friday night where
they partook of a supper at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Tom
Handsur in honor of their son
and bride. Immediate relatives
were present. The bride cut the
two tier wedding cake.

and many new crops which can be
used in industry. A plan of this
character places immediately in the
hands of industry the resources
which caii be used to finance furth-
er research and to plan for the con-
version of surplus crops, surplus
factory buildings and the employ-
ment of war workers in new and
useful enterprises whenever this
war shall cease and normal peace-
time industry, business and agricul-
ture shall be resumed.
This problem deserves the thought-
ful consideration of every American.
If we can have the assurance of rea-
sonable security iri the after-the-war
recovery period we can throw our-
selves into an all-out effort to win

COMMITTEEMEN TO BE
ELECTED.

ed Friday, November 13, accord
ing to O. E. Hermes, chairman,

After community elections,
delegates to the County Con-

county to fill these committee
jobs,” Mr. Hermes said.

need help,” the AAA official
said.

In a recent advertisement signed
by a well-known business concern,
this statement appeared: “My boss
has 14 Grand tied up in me.”
What that slangy usi of words
meant was that the average em-
ployee in industry represents a capi-
tal investment—iri property', plant,
machinery and equipment—of $j4,-
000. Iri Other Words, labor has jbbs
dmy when1 wnie business man, Or
group of investors, puts up the
money necessary for the creation of
jobs.
It was well said recently, by a
student Of economics, that men in
governmental authority too often
forget that while the rights of work-
ers are being considered, the owner
of the tools used by workers must
also have some consideration.
After this war is over, the plants
now devoted to military needs must
be re-converted to peace-time activ-
j ity; must be re-tooled for the kind
of production they were engaged in
when it became necessary to tool
up for war. Labor will expect peace-
time jobs then, but somebody must
provide the money for re-converting
and re-tooling. That money cannot
be forthcoming unless enough prdfits
or capital can be stored up to meet
such requirements.
