"What a bus does for himself dies

lives on and on.”
General Douglass MacArthur,
who with his gallant little band
in the Philippines is defying the
Japanese army, was bom and
ew up in the army. During
61 years he has heard the
whirr of Indian arrows on the
Great Plains in the eighties, the
swish of Filipino bolos in the
nineteen hundreds, the crack of

‘‘The Japanesi army is just as
tough as the Gei man ai my." said _
the Speaker. "The mam differ-!
ence between th<■ two is that llit-j
ler’s soldiers have been trained
as parade units as well as light-
ing units. They have been taught
that an efficient soldier takes
pride in his uniform, polishes his
buttons, and marches with pre-
cision. On the other hand the
Japanese have dispensed with all
fanfare. They don’t care if a
soldier goes unshaven for a week
or whether he ever polishes his
shoes as long as he can shoot
straight and is efficient in war
tactics.
“The Japanese war machine is
going to be tough to stop because
it is schooled in methods of war-
fare that the American and Brit-
ish soldier are rightfully reluc-
tant to follow. When the Jap-
anese take over an area they
have been taught to live on that
territory's resources. They plun-
der and pillage and each man
takes whatever he thinks he will
need to live on. For this reason
the Japanese are not dependent
on food and other supplies from
their army bases. The only thing
they must look to their distribu-
tion points for is ammunition.

Edgar Bryson, former feature
writer for The Bogata News, The
Talco Times and The Deport
Times, who enlisted in the navy
the first of the year, has finally
won public recognition as a poet,
his picture and a biographical
sketch appearing in “Who’s Who
in American Poetry” for 1941.
Bryson wrote a column in this
newspaper called “Ain’t That
Sump’n” when he wasn’t too
darn lazy to prepare it, and a
feature signed “Lonesome Bill,”
which our readers appeared to
like. He will continue it as “Bar-
nacle Bill.” Anyway, we are!
glad to see the former Texan
receive deserved recognition,
even tho we think his poetry is
jjunk—a newspaper man has
mightly little use for poetry. He
wants to print the news.

KILLED FOUR—Torpedo fired by Axis
submarine in attack on tankers off Aruba,
Dutch West Indies. It drove upon beach
unexploded. Later missile exploded,
killing four Dutchmen who were trying
to take it apart.
IN B A T A AN — Mrs
Douglas MacArthur,
wife of commander-in-
chief of Philippine
forces. She and son are
somewhere in Bataan
Peninsula, it is believed.

BURYING THE AXE to bent the Axis, industries once competitive
today cooperate in U. S. war effort. Latest example: Anaconda
Copper needed more machinery to meet war demand for copper
cable. Its peacetime arch-competitor, Aluminum Co. of America,
found bulk of its own metal going into planes, turned over vast
quantities of temporarily idle cabling machinery (such as pictured)
to Anaconda at far below cost.
There has never been a demand
for second hand hard luck.
There are daily reminders that
there is no shortage of red tape in
Washington.
There is nothing better than be-
ing conservative unless you are run-
ning for office.
There is a bright side, but it is
difficult to see when the skies are
black with war clouds.
Congressmen hurried to unscram-
ble their pension egg, but not until
the people had become hard-boiled.
Another reason why the crime
factorie runs at full speed is that so
many men are disgusted with work.
It is to be hoped that enough rub-
ber will be released to provide baby
with a means of cutting his first
teeth.
Washington ordered that defense
plants take no holidays. There’s a
reason: Every day is the same to a
bomber.
We may not win the war until
1943 or 1944, but we will not win
then unless wo make 1942 count for
something.
God bless South America, too, but
South America also has a mission
to perform before she has a rightful
title to a blessing.
We can’t have a government of
the people as long as it is run by
politicians for special interests and
hand-outs for work-shirkers.
There is nothing wrong in getting
old, but many a promising fellow
has spoiled a perfectly good middle
age by getting older every day.
Take care of the pennies, young
man, and when you get old you can
leave the dollars to someone else to
spend for soft carpets and deep up-
holstery.
When strikers in defense plants
become as loyal to their country’s
cause as MacArthur’s men the war
will be easier to win. There are no
sit-down strikers in the army.
Bundles for Britain, bundles for
congressmen, bundles for Eleanor,
but nobody has yet started a cam-
paign of bundles for candidates who
promise the voters something they
Know can never be delivered.
More and more the people are de-
manding that straight-shooting, he-
fisted men arc needed in Congress
to help stop the wild extravagance
and needless expenditure of money.
It will be too late after the money
is all spent and the people are bent
over with debt.

Here is a note from Robert Qui!-
Iin which some of the swivel char
men in Washington should thin’,
over:
“Note on government: Metropoli-
tan Insurance Company built apart-
ments for 40,000 people, roomier,
better and $500 cheaper than any
government project, and make-s
money instead of taxing us.”
Nineteen years ago the United
States sent twelve million dollars
to Japan when that country was
torn with earthquakes. It Was bread
cast upon the waters which is today
coming back to us in the shape of
shells and torpedoes. Still, the
United States has nothing to apolo-
gize for. Her heart is always oti
the right side.

This Bank
—stands at the heart of the busi-
ness life of this community
Every industrial and commercial activity, every
public or private financial transaction occurring in this
community creates impulses that pass in one form or an-
other through a bank.
They give rise to deposits of money, cashing of
checks, bill of exchange to finance trade, distribution of
payrolls, remittances of funds, accumulation of savings,
borrowing of money. These are indispensable activities
by which people carry forward their financial affairs.
Banks everywhere facilitate and weave into a pro-
perly related whole thousands of these separate trans-
actions occurring daily throughout the country. Modern
economic society and progress would be impossible with-
out these banking functions.
In a sense that is true of no other form of enter-
prise, each bank belongs to—and is an essential part of
—the whole business life of its community.
