Sometimes we have to carry our
own bags at depots and many
Americans are being forced to
walk a few blocks to save their
tires. Perhaps we still tell our
grandchildren about these terrible
hardships of the war back in '42.
The story is going around that
a woman on a bus said she hoped
the war would last a long time be-
cause she and her husband were
certainly "cleaning up." A man
who had lost a sen in action got
up and slapped her.
So far we have been merely an-
noyed by war inconveniences. We
haven’t seen anything yet. Millions
of men will go out and fight to
protect us in the easy way’s we
have learned to love. The least
those who stay home can do is to
practice patience and to help make
life’s pathway a little smoother

Washington, May 7—To the sur-
prise of congresss, Secretary of
the Treasury Henry Morgenthau
proposed Thursday a drastic lower-
| ing of individual income tax ex-
• emptions to the point where a
| single person making $11.60 a week
I would be taxed.
In order to add $1,100,000,000 (bil-
lions) to the administrator’s origi-
nal goal of $7,600,000,000 (billions)
in new taxes, the treasury head
recommended that the present $750
exemption for single persons be cut
to $600, the $1,500 exemption for
married couples to $1,200 and the
$400 exemption for each dependent
to $300.
When the treasury’s tax pro-
gram was presented to congress in
March, Morgenthau had said he
was not at that time in favor of
any change in the exemptions. But
Thursday he told the house ways
and means committee in a letter
that the time has come to revise
the treasury’s original program de-
signed to raise $3,200,000,000 (bil-
lions) more from individual in-
come taxpayers, chiefly through
sharply increased surtax rates in
the middle and low income brack-
ets.
He estimated that $100,000,000 of
the recommended $1,100,000,000
(billione) increase would come from
6,900,000 new taxpayers who would
be compelled by the lower exemp-
tions to file returns.
The billion dollars would come
from the higher payments the low-
ered exemptions would require
from the approximately 23,000,000

sales-people are reporting that
many customers are showing ir-

This is a plea for patience as serv-

A rich woman demanded an East

Nylon hose and became angry
when he told that he would have
to divide them among several

traveling salesman bawled out a

clumsy waitress until she was in

Morgenthau submitted tables

Similarly, a married man with no

One of the best meetings of the
Old Bethel Garden club was held
April 15, in the home of Mrs. Bart-
lett Stout. Twelve members and
one visitor were present.
Roll call woe answered by favor-
ite flower. A song, "Amazing
Grace,” was sung by the group
and followed by prayer.
The following program was ren-
dered:
Talks, "Three Ways to Econom-
ize," by Mrs. Walsh.
“Ways in Which to Use Sacks,”
Mrs. Wade Carey.
“Ways in Which to Can Beets,”
Mrs. Hugh Ethridge.
"Child training in the Home,”
Mrs. Connie Stout.
Other pieces read and comment-
ed on were “Friends,” Mrs. Hugh
Ethridge; "Plum Blossoms,” Mrs.
Floyd Stout; "Hitler and the
Devil,” Mrs. Roy Wilbourn;
"Prayer,” Mrs. Taylor; "The Last
Long Mile,” Mrs. Joe Chamblee;
Fifteen minutes were spent in
contests.
The following report was given
our new flowers and shrubs added
this year:
Mrs. Ledbetter, hedges and roses.
Mrs. Bert Walsh, peonies, hy-
acyanths.
Mrs. Connie Stout, hedges.
Mrs. Ollie Carey, hedges, roses.
Mrs. Floyd Stout, Iris and shrubs.
Mrs R. F. Chamblee, gladiolae
and roses.
We have signed the victory
pledge and also have out “V” flow-
er gardens at the church and
school.
Our next meeting will be held on
Wednesday, May 20, at 2 p. m. in
the home of Mrs. R. F. Chamblee.
You are requested to bring a bou-
quet of some kind and a container
for a demonstration on flower ar-
rangements, also each member
bring a cup towel for an exchange.
Visitors are welcome; members
are urged to attend.
"To teach the family good food
habits requires knowledge, patience
and skill," said Mrs. Callie Mullins
to nine members of the Stanger
Springs home demcnstration club
at the church Friday, May 8.
Mothers must know what foods
are required for an adequate diet,
and the needs of such foods; pro-
teins, vitamins and minerals. Foods
should be prepared so as to be
attractive and taste good.
Mrs. Alice Stanger stated that
women must come out of their
smugness, forsake their petty
bickering and fit themselves into
the niche assigned, be it as a
general or buck private on the
defense front, for the only thing
that counts is winning the war and
establishing- a just peace.
Life ahead for the duration
means work and more work; fa-
tigue, boredom and anxiety. It
will mean altered ways of life,
painful adjutment, and the menace
of insecurity.
A devine spiritual awakening
must be our yardstick and with
new vision will come the reliza-
