country, but so few of them can tell
us which way we are headed.

HONORING SERVICE MEN
Mt. Vernon Optic-Herald last
week celebrated its 69th birth-
day anniversary with a 32-page
edition honoring Franklin coun-
ty men now in the armed service.
It contained many pictures of
these men and salutations from
business and professional men
whose financial support made
the edition possible. The front
page was devoted to a letter
from Gov. Coke Stevenson, from
which we take two paragraphs:
“The home town newspaper is
one with the home and the
church in its dearness to the
hearts of people. In wartime it
is more cherished than ever, be-
cause it affords about the only
line of communication between
the homefolks and their fighting
men away from home.
“The newspaper from home i:
a tonic to men in the military
wherever they may be. What
cheer is brought to soldiers and
sailors when letters are opened
and clippings from newspapers
back home are revealed. News-
papers propel no bullets and
transport no munitions of war,
but they lift the fighting men’s
hearts.”
It is only when we begin to check
over our own sins that we are will-
ing to use the mantle of charity.
In fighting a global war nobody
has time to do anything else. We
must do one thing at a time, but do
it well.
As We undersatnd it, socialized
medicine at a cost of three billion
dollars a year would cause a lot of
headaches.
Some people seem to think that
doing without an extra lump of su-
gar will win the war quicker than
buying a bond.
Manufacturers ought to clean up
on synthetic tires. It will take a
hundred million pounds of soap a
year to do the job.
Let us hope pur boys in the jun-
gle will not learij that some of the
people in this country who signed
pledges to buy bonds didn’t buy
them. j
Many a man who would have giv-
en his last dollar to see his name on
the front page lived to see the day
when he would have given his right
arm to have kept it off.

For several weeks the editor has printed an article urging home
foUs to write to the men in ottr armed service. Thinking perhaps It is
time to take a dose of his own advice, here are a few paragraphs that may
or may not be interesting:
Last few days’ temperatures, with the first light frost Saturday,
indicate that fall is here. Most of the cotton crop has been picked, and
picked this year by local people. The usual crowd of transient cotton
pickers were not here this fall, and we saw more women in male attire
helping gather the crops than ever before.
Postal authorities had a busy week just before the deadline of Oct.
15 to send Christmas presents to men overseas. These packages had to
be inspected before*being wrapped for mailing, and much love went with
every box shipped out. We hope Old Santa makes glad the heart of every
man in service this year, including all the turkey he can eat. Civilians
cannot buy these birds until the armed forces have all they need, which
is as it should be.
Camp Maxey Times had a story last week about an old-timer who
is a Master Sergeant there. Enlisted in 1913, and was going to retire and
fish for six months. Then remembering the rationing of shoes, ga6, tires,
food, etc., decided he would sign up for another “hitch.”
Back page of that issue of the Maxey Times was given over to a
picture of five bathing beauties, with curves and everything. Someone
should send it to Barnacle Bill, down in Florida.
One of Deport’s prominent farmers had a “run in” with some of
the boys from Cox flying field near Reno in August. He farms several
hundred acres of land, is an A. & M. man and working eighteen hours a
day trying to harvest his crops and not much help. He-grew more food
and feed, and with his wife’s help probably preserved more food than
anyone in Lartiar -county this year.
. He had been on the hay meadow all week, saving all the hay he
possibly could. He came off of it late Saturday afternoon with his clothes
so full of salt from perspiration they would have stood up had he pulled
them off. He needed a hair cut and shave, which was why he had quit
work with a small amount of daylight still remaining, and his battered
old hat didn’t add anything to his personal appearance.
One of the Cox Field boys, probably from the East, who had not
been off the pavement before being inducted into the army, and who had
not been about enough to know that appearances are sometimes deceiv-
ing, and who had probably quaffed too much fire water, saw the P. F.
coming down the street.
“Hi, there Rube,” was his salutation.
“Speaking to me?” inquired the prominent farmer-stockman.
“Yes, speaking to you; when did you get to town?”
One word led to another, and the soldier boy’s grew abusive until
the farmer floored him with a right to the jaw. When this happened
other boys from Cox field joined the fray, which was soon settled by
peace officers.
“That soldier caught me around the neck from behind and nearly
twisted it off," commented the Deport farmer. “It is still sore,” he added.
This newspaper has not previously given this story publicity. It
doesn’t print items about personal encounters unless someone is seriously
hurt. It is printed here for the boys in uniform because of the element
of humor.
We’ll bet that boy from Cox field has learned another lesson be-
sides his regular army studies—that appearances are often deceiving and
that (ivility is still one of the cardinal principles of a gentleman.
Many men from this area have taken part in the battle of Italy,
and there have been some casualties. Home folk sit over their radios and
the newspapers have much more interest than formerly.
Our service men’s column in this newspaper is doubtless the most
interesting of any news feature in the publication. Many copies are go-
ing to men in the armed forces, as well as to home folk who have more
money now, and many new subscribers have been added to our mailing
galleys since Pearl Harbor.
Boys back from the front and from training camps tell us they read
the home paper over' once, then go back and read it again, including all
the ads, to be sure they haven’t missed anything.
Others say that as many as 20 men overseas will read one copy
of this paper. They are not acquainted here, but there is some news not
of special local interest.
Due to a shortage of merchandise locally, most merchants don’t need
much advertising,’ which is making it hard on the publisher. When yoU
read their ads, boys, just remember they are helping make it possible for
you to get the old home town newspaper. Without advertising we could
not print the paper. Merchants who advertise now are your friends; they
are also friends of the old home town and its newspaper.
Pecans and persimmons are getting ripe, some corn land has been
bedded, many are cutting firewood, and there would be considerable
squirrel hunting if we had shells and gas. But we don’t, and with pros-
pect of less as the war progresses, you should have much game to hunt
when the war is over.
This letter is getting too long, so we had better sign off. Write
homefolk as often as you find time. They still throng the postoffice after
each mail, and someone visits every rural mail box, generally to meet
the carrier. Yours,
SAM HOLLOWAY.

You Need Good
Records Now ..
It is said that new taxes will make America a Na-
tion of bookkeepers. You need records of all important
business transactions. Your checkbook from this bank
and cancelled checks will supply many basic records you
will surely want for your own protection.
And that is not all—a Checking Account also saves
time. A check is easily mailed to a local or distant point.
No need for a special trip. No wear and tear on tires. It
is safer to pay by check than with currency, for a receipt
is automatically provided.
It is difficult to recall details about old transactions,
but even if you do remember, you have no positive proof,
if you do not have a record. Start a Checking Account
here today . . and have needed records for tomorrow.
THANK YOU
Dear Friends:
This is to say thanks to our many neighbors
who have been so understanding and coop-
erative during the present shortage of many
favorite foods.
As you know, our supply has been cut and we
have sincerely tried to divide fairly; first,
among our regular customers who have been
with us for a long time, and then among our
new friends who have paid us the compliment
of coming to our store.
Whenever we are obliged to say “No” to you
when you ask for certain hard-to-get foods,
we hope you will understand it hurts us more
than it does you.
There are many foods yet unrationed and we
have a fair supply of most of them. We will
be glad to help you select the best values
from what we have.
We will continue to do our best toward ren-
dering a satisfactory war-time shopping ser-
vice and we intend to keep our store a friend-
First National Bank

You are always welcome!
