THURSDAY. SEPT 17. 1942
Charles "K. Devall, publisher
df the Mt. Vernon Cptic-Hera'J,
the Kilgore Daily News Herald,
The Morris County News, and
The Hughes Springs New Era,
left last week for the Navy as a
lieutenant, junior grade. Mrs.
Devall has taken over her hus-
band’s duties and wiM carry on.
They are both n.ighty good
friends of this publisher and
they have our very best wishes.
“The old home town doesn’t
look like itself,” remarked a sol-
dier home on furlough. “Near-
ly all my bov friends are gone,”
he added. Yes, it's true. Uncle
Sam has been thinning them out,
and it is very noticeable in a
small town. That thinning pro-
cess will continue until we have
won this war, and some men not
80 young will be in the scrap be-
fore it is over.
We laugh at old-fashioned things,
but is there anything more old-fash,
ioned than weather?
Remember way back when baby
could eat its dinner without getting
cigarette ashes in its eyes?
Some men use their money sensi-
bly. Others try to see how much
fame they can buy with it.
Everyone wants to see his country
saved, but it seems that a few don’t
want it to stop their profits.
Many a fellow who is led into
trouble finds it extremely difficult
to find someone to lead him out.
Some people seem to get so tired
of waiting to be led into temptation
that they go right ahead and jump in.
No one should take life so serious- j
ly as to overlook the fact that man
is the only creature that can laugh.

Only a few years ago we were
gathering up scrap metal in this
country and selling it to Japan,
who paid for it with government
bonds floated in this country, so
the scrap they are now shooting
at our boys cost them nothing.
Tuesday the president issued an
appeal for scrap that sounded
'like he was getting tough — in
fact the whole war program on
the home front has been getting
tough the past week, and it now
begins to look like this nation is
being aroused to the point where
we can win this war. It is the
patriotic duty of every American
to see that this appeal for scrap
metal is answered with every-
thing we do not actually need.
