THE DEPORT TIMES,

Pride of race is something Ameri-
«l has never developed to a high dc-
0PM! because it is peopled with so
0MMy different races. Jur.t the same,
Americans have every right to- pride
.’i».-lin» heritage. Edmond E Lin-
coin recently put it in a few words
Bt Hdd “America has been develop-
ed by the most courageous, industri-
ous and honorable peoples of the
OOTth. We have built up from the
best of the best foreign countries ”
Some people have come to the
Halted States who did us no good.
Mr. Lincoln does not dispute that.
He makes it plain, however, that all
of America's early settlers and most
of the immigrants who came later,
ao different outwardly, were a lot
alike inside; and in important ways
They were brave, honest, hardwork-
ing, God-fearing folk All they lack-
ed was to get used to one another,
and that has largely been done.
Look at Results
Products of hard work and hones-
| any other country on earth.
And how we do get around! Our
| entire 138 million population could
have sat down at once quite com-
fortably on the upholstered seats of
nearly 30 million passenger automo-
biles that were licensed in the Unit-
ed States in 1941. Where everybody
who works can make progress; where
those who are really capable can
achieve wealth and influence, pride
in doing things is gradually develop-
ing a tradition that makes all Ameri-
cans feel the fusion of an American
race
Our Own Standards
In America we are short on her-
aldry but we are long on bathtubs.
Free to live our lives in any honor-
able manner, and quick to learn
from each other, the families of Am-
ei. a are growing more alike in ha-
bits and in aims. Meanwhile living
I standards rise and American culture
advances far beyond that of old-
| world races They are cramped by
i meaningless restraints and cripled
: by unprofitable disputes about mat-
i tors that seem quite obscure any-
where else.
! "For several specific reasons." Mir,
Lincoln says, “it does not seem pro-
bable that the United States will
finally succumb to subversive influ-
ences which have been exerting
I themselves from abroad." Seeking

Help Farmers Meet
Labor Shortage
Although Department of Agricul-
ture records show that American
farmers have broken food product-
ion records for seven consecutive
years, the country again looks to its
six million farm families to grow
another record food crop. But there
are limits to what the farmers can
do, and none of the wartime handi-
caps under which farmers are work-
ing is more fundamental than the
labor shortage.
Since April, 1940, about four mil-
lion actual or potential farm work-
ers have left farms foe the armed
services and for war industry jobs i
or other non-agricultural employ-
ment, or have taken non-farm jobs
while continuing to live on fam«
About a million of this number have
entered the armed forces.
Much of the extra labor needed
by farmers, particularly at harvest
time, must be supplied this year,
as it was last year, by men, women,
boys and girls who ordinarily do
not work on farmers.

No. 1--ZELLA ZIPSWEEP
who doesn't bother to remove pins and other
hard metal objects from the path of her cleaner
Most everybody but Zella knows that running a cleaner over pins, nails coins
and similar objects can damage the brush, dust bag or mechanism. It’s’some-
thing to be avoided if you want your cleaner to last. Here are some other tins
that mean longer wear and better service: v
• Don’t pull cord tightly over
handle hooks. Coil loosely.
• Avoid banging cleaner against
furniture and baseboards.
