When the doctor says, “This may hurt for a few min-
utes,” most of us are able to grit our teeth and take what-
ever temporary pain may be administered to us.
As we face 1943, with its fearful picture of total war
on all fronts, it might be well to take a deep gulp and gird
ourselves to stand anything during this year so long as it
will lead to victory, peace and a better world after the
operation is over.
There is no doubt that it will be a year of many heart-
aches and dreadful suffering. But if we can keep our minds
set on the outcome—if we can keep faith that each new
incision of the doctor’s knife is helping to remove the can-
cerous growth which would otherwise destroy our civiliza-
tion—-we can look forward to 1943 as being the year in
which we are going to get rid of a dreaded disease.

ferent from any that has ever been
fought before, and as a result new
problems have arisen in conducting
it. The greatest of these problems
is the problem of supply. In fact,
the whole success in modern war-
fare lies in the solution of this
problem of supply.
No wonder then that the skipper
of that ship plowing bravely
through the dark waters of the
ocean stands so vigilantly at his
post. On the delivery of his cargo
may depend the success of a bat-
tle. the triumph of a tactical ma-
neuver that may decide an entire
campaign, and bring victory.
4 Has Confidence in Ship.
But the skipper’s concern is not
with his ship. Perhaps she has
come from the yards of Henry J.
Kaiser, whose modern construction
methods have enabled thousands of
his eager and sweating workmen to
turn out the most seaworthy ships
in the world in a matter of mere
days instead of months. The skip-
per is not worried about his crew.
They are all trained and coura-
geous sailors. And the skipper does
not fear the sea. He knows its
sounds, its smells, its moods. He
can handle it like a mother can
handle her baby.
Why then his concern? Tonight,
as every night, the skipper remains
on the alert against the menace of
the submarine, that silent and steel
swordfish that prowls so stealthily
in hidden waters, striking like the
head of a whip and then recoiling
back into the sea again, e What
makes them so dangerous is that
they cannot be seen, that they can
send out their torpedoes at a dis-
tance and then crawl quickly away.
Near shore, their effectiveness has
been greatly reduced by the patrol
bomber; against heavily escorted
convoys, they must proceed cau-
tiously; but out in the oceans and
in thinly strung convoys, they are
always dangerous.
Ship production has reached a
point where ship launchings have
surpassed sinkings. But Allied na-
val experts also feel that German
submarine construction is keep-
ing ahead of sinkings. Information
has been received that the Nazis
have halted all ship construction
and diverted facilities to submarine
manufacture.
Have 200 Subs.
Allied naval experts believe that
the Nazi submarine fleet approxi-
mates 600 craft and that probably
200 nn be found in operation at
one time. U-boat “mother’’ ships—
The Bible is still the best read book in America, but
still it is not read by the great majority of people, a recent
survey by the Institute of Public Opinion, made at the
request of the American Bible Society, shows.
The survey, conducted on a nation-wide basis, found that
only 8,500,000 of our adult population read the Bible
regularly and 35,000,000 admit they have not opened a Bible
during the past year.
The survey did show an increase in Bible reading result-
ing from the war, more than 4,000,000 people saying that
they read the Bible more now than they did before Pearl
Harbor.
Usually, in time of war, there is an increase in interest
in religion. Whereas the extent of it cannot be measure d
entirely by a survey of Bible reading, this one factoi i i
certainly an indication of our religious habits.
• Although the people in the country towns were found to
lead the Bible more than those in cities, the survey clearly
shows that there is plenty of room for improvement in the
time given to religious considerations in every part of the
country.

for Mrs. B. Downing and
In 1917, the submarine nearly won
the war for Germany before Allied
naval leaders perfected a defense
against it. Today, Hitler makes no
bones about the fact that the Axis
is depending upon the U-boat to
cripple the Allied supply line and
immobilize the vast number of Unit-
ed Nations soldiers poised on the
major battle fronts.
The submarine is Hitler’s last
ace. Everywhere the Allies have
seized the initiative. After a pe-
riod of preparation, American pro-
duction has begun to turn out great
quantities of equipment for its fight-
ing men and those of the other
United Nations. The war in Russia
has made serious inroads on Ger-
man manpower and placed the
reich numerically at a disadvan-
tage with the Allies.
Again it is appropriate to remem-
ber that thi is a new type of war
also gone on record with a state-
ment that high schools must be-
come primarily schools for war,
with elementary schools remaining
largely schools for peace.
These pronouncements are part
of a series being prepared by the
association for the guidance of pub-
lic school officials in their war-
time planning for the nation’s
schools.
Recommendations go so far as
to approve the issuing of certifi-
cates of competence by high
schools to boys who successfully
complete one or more pre-induction
courses and further submit that
these certificates be presented at
the army reception centers upon
induction. *
Two Large Divisions.
School children are considered in
two large groups: (1) older stu-
dents who will almost certainly
fight in the war or work full-time
in essential industries and services;
and (2) younger students who will
not be so directly or completely in-
volved unless the war is greatly
prolonged. Different educational
treatment is recommended for each
group. *
The younger group should be pre-
pared for service as adult citizens
in a world which this war should
make essentially peaceful and dem-
ocratic, the commission states. For

ern warfare requires tanks and
vehicles from steel and rubber;
tanks and vehicles which also eat
up gallons of gas and oil Further-
more, the development of "blitz”
tactics, of concentrating vast quan-
tities of men and material for break
through blows and the subsequent
encircling movements, requires a
steady flow of material.
Soldiers Need Tonnage.
Our experts have figured out that
it takes 17 tons of shipping to carry
one man to a fighting front and 3.4
tons of shipping to supply him for
a year. Brig. Gen. R. W. Little-
john, the quartermaster general of
American forces in the British
Isles, estimates that 10.5 tons of
shipping are needed to transport a
soldier and 1.5 tons a month to sup-
ply him.
With officials planning for the or-
ganization of an army of 7% million
men, the magnitude of the prob-
lem of supplying them on fronts
Two new developments in the
submarine have been reported.
U-boats now are supposed to be
capable of submerging to depths of
600 feet whereas their former limit
was 300 feet. Use of compressed
oxygen to a degree 400 times great-
er than heretofore is reputed to
enable new submarines in con-
struction to operate their Diesel en-
gines under water, increasing their
cruising range and speed.
Despite the ominous threat of the
submarine, however, Allied naval
leaders are confident they can suc-
cessfully combat the peril. Exten-
sive expansion of the bomber pa-
trols; production of faster ships and
escorts, and enlargements of con-
voys are expected to greatly reduce
sinkings. Improvements in sound
detection instruments and in the
explosive power of depth charges
will improve the efficiency of the
sub fighters.
Retail trade is feeling the effects
of reduced production of civilian
goods. Not only dealers’ stocks,
but those of jobbers and manufac-
turers are already depleted in some
lines.

The skipper stands by on the bridge. Below him he can hear the
muffled clatter of the engines. The waves chop noisily against the ship s
sides. In the hold lays a precious treasure of cargo bound for the
Allied fighting front.
Maybe the cargo consists of fuel, or maybe of munitions, or then
again of guns or tanks. But regardless of whatever it may consist, the
cargo is essential to the army in the field awaiting its arrival.

cies body recommends that elemen-
tary schools continue to lay sound
foundations in reading, writing and
arithmetic and to teach basic hab-
its, appreciations and democratic
ideals. Secondary schools are the
ones to convert to an all-round war
basis.
Specialized Training.
According to the commanding
general of the army services of sup-
ply, 630 out of every 1,000 men in-
ducted are assigned to duties re-
quiring specialized training. Out
of this group of 630 trained men,
the army needs roughly 16 radio
operators, 15 medical technicians,
15 telephone and telegraph linemen,
five master mechanics, and over 35
automotive mechanics. So far the
army has had to train these men.
for they have not been prepared
when they have entered the service.
The commission urges that sec-
ondary schools assume the respon-
sibility of providing some of this
specialized training before induc-
tion. To this end the U. S. army
and the U. S. office of education
have prepared a series of pre-in-
duction courses, based on the tech-
nical manuals used in the army.
Material is also available for spe-
cial aviation training in the high
schools.

The Tundra 4-H club boys had
a very interesting meeting Friday,
Feb. 5, with Mr. Radford, assis-
tant county agent, present. All
members were present including
three new members and the spon-
sor, G. T. Kennedy.
Mr. Radford gave a very in-
structive talk on the production
of hogs. Control of grubbs on 1
cattle and mange on hogs was in-
cluded in the round table discus-
sion.
Th club boys were urged to
plant good seed in the crop pro-
jects. He especially urged the use
of hybrid seed to get a better
yield.
The club adjourned to meet

sections, and barely noticeable in
others, are expected to receive a
“levelling-off” treatment in the near
future. The present situation is
largely the result of a condition
entirely new to American food deal-
ers and consumers. Huge reserve
stocks normally held on hand in
key localities, have been reduced or
exhausted, and in some parts of
the country dealers are dependent
upon current shipments for their
stocks. Any transportation de ays
result in empty shelves and rc! ig
erators.
Plan Crop Shifts.
While farmers are prepari " t
boost their total production they
are also planning to make the shifts
that will enable them to turn out
the products that are most needed
now. This year special emnhasis
will be placed on milk, meat, eggs,
feed grains, poultry, vegetables with
high food value, oil crops and long-
staple cotton. Supplie, of several
other farm products are already
greater than demand and the pro-
duction of them will be held down.
Some of these products are wheat,
short-staple cotton, and those vege-
tables that require much labor and
transportation in relation to their
food value.
Industry, as well as agriculture,
has been forging ahead and is plan-
ning to produce even more this
year. Factories are now turning
out 15 per cent more goods than
they were a year ago. The in-
crease in military supplies and
equipment has been far greater
than this figure indicates, because
during the past year more and
more civilian production has ceased
On January 20 the Bethel club
met in regular meeting in the
home of Mrs. Luther Hargrove.
Several of our members were ab-
sent because of bad weather.

THANKS TO all of you for your

The most critical battleline on
the home front continues to be the
one taking in every farm in the 48
states. Every tillable acre must be
made to produce the biggest yield
of crops which can be attained.
Every stock farmer must bring to
market as much livestock as can be
raised. Every poultryman and
dairy farmer must make every ef-
fort to produce as much eggs, poul-
try, and milk as possible.
Civilian demand is sure to be
large as people have larger in-
comes than they have had for many
years. In addition the needs of
military forces and of the nations
fighting with us are mounting rap-
idly. At least 25 per cent of food
and fiber production this year will
go for war purposes.
Prospects Favorable.
Early prospects for large produc-
tion are much more favorable than
usual. Moisture conditions are good
in most parts of the country, al-
though rainfall has been light in
some sections throughout the south.
Supplies of improved seeds such as
hybrid corn, new varieties of soy-
beans that are better adapted to
the soil and climate, and certified
potatoes are the largest on record.
More good fertilizers are being
used in larger quantities to keep
soil fertility at the maximum.
If the weather conditions through-
out the growing season are as fa-
vorable as the average of recent
years, the yields per acre of most
crops will be much above normal
and may be close to the unusually
high levels of last year.. Quite as
