Effects Of The War
We are at last beginning to feel the colossal changes
war has forced on the economic and social life of the
nation And in the next six months or so changes in afar
greater degree than anything we have yet experienced
will inevitably take place
It should be clear to everyone by now that the
American standard of living which has been infinitely
luxurious by comparison with that of most of the rest
of the world will be largely abandoned for the duration
This year our national income will be the largest
in our history But the amount of money which the
people will have to spend for goods and services will
be down to the lowest depression levels and perhaps
lower There are three principal reasons for that First
and most important is the tax burden which will be
felt in the lowest income groups and will reach staggering
proportions in the middle and high income
groups Second War Bond purchases whether voluntary
or enforced will take a substantial part of every
ones remaining income Third the price level is far
above that of 1932 and 1933
For the most part we have not yet felt any particular
lack of luxury goods While manufacture of
such goods was stopped some time ago in most lines
stocks on hand have kept store inventories adequate
Soon it will be impossible to buy a refrigerator an
automatic heating plant a radio an office machine
and ten thousand and one other items unless you have
a firstclass priority rating and the Item is needed for
a purpose directly connected witli the war Rationing
of public transportation services may make pleasure
travel impossible And it is generally expected that n
cardrationing system similar to that now in effect for
sugar will be extended to other foods to clothes and
to many additional necessities
Whole professions are being virtually wiped out
For example there is the plight of the salesman There
is no need for his services if Ills industry is engaged
In war work If his industry is not In war work its
production is swiftly declining and he has less and less
to sell These people are being absorbed by war industry
for the most part After the war they will face
another difficult problem of readjustment
Whole industries are in the same position The
mortality for instance in the businesses which have
been built up about the automobile service stations
repair shops roadside restaurants resorts etc is great
and before long it will be tremendous All their proprietors
and employes can do Is to close shop and get
a war job There is no place for their businesses in
the war picture
The face of American communities of all sizes is
changing swiftly Gigantic war plants are being developed
in sections where there was little industry before
In many defense areas population growth unprecedented
in Us rapidity has created an exceedingly
severe housing and transportation problem These
problems have not yet been adequately solved and
they will grow worse They constitute a major headache
to governmental authorities
The population ternd from country to city is intense
Agricultural workers attracted by the big wages
paid by war industry are literally leaving the farms
in droves The farm operator cant get enough labor
and even when he can he must offer wages that In
many cases are beyond his ability to pay This has
offset a good part of the benefits of increased farm
income
The foregoing simply Illustrates a few of the almost
revolutionary changes that are occurring in this
country And they illustrate by inference what our
postwar problems will be Authorities in both business
and government teem convinced that none of the
problems are insoluble They know that there will be
many mistakes many errors in judgment But they believe
that after the war this nations incredible industrial
plant will be able to provide jobs for all em
ployables and will in time bring the general standard
of living to a level well beyond anything we have
known It is a healthy sign that even as we grapple
with the immense problems of war we are also thinking
ahead to the peace to come
Weekly Sermon
There is a rising tide of belief among loaders today
that the world of tomorrow is going to be a better
world than that which we have known in the past
The leaders of the nations of the world have come
to see as a result of the war the weaknesses and the
inequalities and the imperfections of world practices
and the end to which they have finally and inevitably
led They realize that any attempt to chart a post war
world along the same lines will merely result in a
similar disturbing upheaval later on This I think is
significant It reveals a realization that there is a better
way and because it does It is a milestone in the
progress of the race It is slgnficant to note that the
weaknesses ponted out by these leaders In national and
International policies are the points wherein international
relationsnips have been at variance with Christs
program for mankind A war seems a terrible price to
pay for such an awakening but viewed in the perspective
of the whole it may be merely an incident In
the process of development of the race in its struggle
upward and Godward Human progress has always
been purchased nt a great price

Labor Leaders
Denying Free
Right To Work
MY GEORGE PECK
Repeatedly in this column we
have stated that we are for organized
labor that we recognize
the right of labor to bargain collectively
by all legitimate methods
but that this be clone without dictation
coercion domination or interference
of any kind The American
worker must have the freedom
to choose for himself whether
or not lie wishes to become and
to remain a member of a labor
union
Labor has made great gains in
recent years It is chiefly because
we wish to see labor hold these
gains that we now sound a word
of warning Labor must throw off
the shackles of a greedy minority
of its leadership which is exploiting
it for the labor leaders own
selfish purposes There is grave
danger of labor alienating public
opinion if these practices are continued
Favorable public opinion
has enabled labor to move forward
unfavorable public opinion would
nullify those gains
We do not have in mind the
battle between organized labor
and industry We are not thinking
of the 40 hour week and overtime
pay We arc about to speak of
the battle between the 12 million
of the union group and the 40
million American workers who do
not belong to any union
When our forefathers drew up
the Declaration of Independence
they naturally assumed that Life
Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness
included the Free Right
to Work For without this latter
the former three are impossible
of attainment
Today however the 12 million
union group through the arrogance
of certain of its leaders is
asserting a new doctrine to wit
that American citizenship does not
carry with it the Free Right to
Work that the remaining 40 millions
of workers must obtain
NEW citizenship papers from labor
unions before they can exercise
their first American citizenshipUnder this unAmerican doctrine
40 million American citizens
must apply and pay for NEW
Citizenship Papers in order to

True Patriotism iX
Tested During
War Emergency
BY FRANK DIXON
In my opinion the test of an
individuals patriotism lies in the
manner in which he accepts the
conditions Imposed by the present
emergency and his conscientious
in the rules and regulations prescribed
for the welfare of the
country I refer particularly to
the rationing program
The rationing program Is set up
to conserve scarce Items and to
Insure equitable distribution of the
available supply
Herein lies the problem in civilian
adjustment It is important
that doctors and physicians have
tires It is also important that
producers of food have tires that
the food may be brought from
the farm to the market but it is
not necessary that civilians have
tires for pleasure vehicles or vehicles
not used for furthering the
war program These must be willing
to forego the use of their
cars for the duration
In the matter of the rationing
of sugar a slightly different problem
is presented Due to the fact
that shipping is needed to carry
supplies to our armed forces
abroad and those of our allies it
is not possible to bring In the
sugar from Cuba and Hawaii that
we received in normal times In
addition to this a larger amount
of the sugar that is available is
needed to produce alcohol used
in the manufacture of powder
and explosives
Due to these two factors the
remaining sugar stock In this
country is not sufficient for normal
demands and unless some
restriction is put on its use those
with money to buy it would soon
corner the entire available supply
and the mass of people would
either be without sugar at all or
be forced to pay an exhorbitant
price for it Thus we see the rationing
program Is set up in the
interest of the greatest common
good For this reason it should
receive the sincere cooperation of
every patriotic citizen
Notwithstanding the real purpose
of the rationing program
there are those in every community
the nation over who are
chiseling that they may get more
than their just share of sugar or
of tires
Aside from the fact that any
fiich subterfuge is a violation of
the federal law and Is punishable
by a fine and prison sentence it
is grossly unpatriotic It is the
height of hypocrisy for an individual
to display the American
flag at his front door and chisel
on his sugar in the kitchen
Fortunately the chislers are the
exception If they were not we
might easily be defeated and certainly
if we are victorious none
of the credit will belong to this
group They will have contributed
nothing to it They are too
blindly greedy and selfish to have
any concept of what real patriotism
is
The victory when it comes Is
going to come because this group
is in the minority and because
the patriots who have all through
history put country above self
have been ready and willing to
sacrifice and to patriotically make
their contribution to their Nations
defense program It is the
spirit and heart such as these that
has made America great and it
is this spirit and this spirit only
that will keep America great
work in our war factories The
millions of young men in our
armed fores when they return
warwounded and weary without
seniority union rights will have
to take out NEW citizenship papers
before they can enjoy the
right to live and to work the
very things for which they are
offeringup their lives
It is estimated that the aggregate
tax now levied against
workers by our subgovernment
of labor politicians is around one
billion dollars a year Under existing
law for the most part this

Little Lugay Weisenburg new daughter of Mr
and Mrs Charles Weisenburg will be rocked like many
many other Weisenburg babies in a cradle which h
been in the family for 1C0 years Charles Is almost
i
proud of the beautiful old cradle as he is of the new
adidtion to the family which arrived Saturday June
20 his birthday Charles says that the new baby surely
is pretty looks just like him
While driving around town the other day we noted
several things one of which was that many people have
trimmed their trees and how It Improved the appearance
of their place and facilitated walking underneath
It was with distress that we saw block after block of
weeds growing luxuriantly and many right In the bus
ness section which should be kept as neat as a pin We
believe everybody ought to coll an allout war on weeds
at their homes and then maybe the city would operate
and see that downtown lots are cleared

Much excitement was causedin the home of Mrs
W S Tomlinson Tuesday night when her night blooming
cercus blossomed forth with 35 large fragrant white
flowers A few flowers were out Monday night but
were nothing to compare with the later blooms All who
saw them raved over their beauty Such plants are rare
and bloom seldom and only at nignt The flowers are
fragile things that perish quickly Mrs Tomlinson has
petted her plant constantly since it came into her c < f
about six years ago Each winter she has it hau f
down to Clcnnins Garage where it will be protected
from the weather In the summer it grows In the Tom
linson yard nearly as tall as the tree to which it is tied
to keep it erect
Tulia Herald readers are reminded to take advantage
of the special picnic rates offered July 17 18 Although
the yearly subscription rate has been increased
to 125 Instead of 100 as usual picnic rate due to increased
cost of printing materials and production costs
the paper at that price is still very much of a bargain
Charles Weisenburg presented an idea for starting
a sort of travel bureau in Tulia for the purpose of
conserving rubber Charles got the idea when he made
a business trip to a nearby town the other day and ran
across two other fellows from Tulia and who like himself
had driven alone to the town In this instance anyone
would have welcomed the company of the other
two and would have saved the tires on two cars
Charles thought perhaps a central office could be established
in Tulia where the folks who planned to maKe
trips could call in provided they had room for extra
passengers and get the parties together on a share
expense basis Write the Herald what you think of the
idea
Dear Aunt Ida June 15 1942
So now 1 am through ROC and I have been sent
to Motor Transport Unless the Generals decide to place
me elsewhere I will be with this organization for three
months or longer
Since we are full officers we have been given
quarters I have two rooms and a bath however three
of us stay here The place is very nice but of course
the government deducted a sum of 4600 from our
salary Besides that we pay 4000 for meals so yoi >
see they give and also readily take
Out of this class of 368 boys a large portion went
to the West or East coast and they tell us that a boat
Is waiting on the lads therefore I am very happy
about them leaving me here
My new address is below so therefore when you
have time call the Tulia paper and have them to
change the address
I have a bunch of pretty uniforms but they charge
so much for pictures I have not bothered about having
any made Just 3000 for six now isnt that cheap
Answer soon and maybe I will come toward th
West coast after summer How is Grandma getting
along Tell her hello Love
