Uncle Sam has no desire to do any thing but to mak< the food go around fairly and in snfflelent quantity to provide all the vitamins we need More than IS,OOO is needed to meet the Red Cross quota for Adams county. Please give as liberally as you can. We know there is a constant demand on every one for money these days but surely no cause is more deserving or more important than this. —o The Kuhner Packing Company of Muncie has leased the Mutschler yards in this city and will take in cattle, hogs, stags, lambs and sheep. Edgar Mutschler will act as local manager. This assures an excellent local market of value to all stock raisers of the community. —o Rationing of food is not really a hardship for th* average citizen. It is a necessary plan to assure •■very on<- of sufficient food of the propci- kind. Enter into It with the right spirit and remember that war is never easy and this one Is so serious and so vast In its scope that we just can’t be as comfortable as w. would like to he. -0 One of the important functions of the Red Crose Is to take care - 'ipf ail prisoners The headquarters for that work is In Switzerland, where a competent force keeps in touch with every nation, gets word to prisoners and to their relatives and sends supplied and medical aid to thousands. Just one more reason why we should all support this great organization of mercy. -0 The farmers of Wisconsin at their state convention declared by resolution and hy statements from every factional organization that they will not only equal last year's production of foodstuffs but will increase it. Certainly that will be the desire and intent of every farmer tn the midwest breadbasket. Farmers of Adams county and of Indiana generally will do their full part and more. -0— It doesn't make much difference perhaps to the world whether Hitler is dead, has fled.

The president has asked for legislation to permit the people of Puerto Rico to elect their own governor, now appointed by the president (Intern»tion»l) by island conques would be too costly. So the pattern for war In the Pacific, it would seem, will be a knockout blow outre the planes, men and ships are avallab'e.

Giraud Promises Free Rule To France Plans To Restore French Liberties (By United Brees) The political Ills of French North Africa are shewing definite signs of complete recovery this morning The took a sharp turn for the better yesterday after General Giraud'* vigorous speech in Algiers. Washington observers believe the speech Will go far towards eliminating French factional strife in Africa. Government quartern view It as the most important French pronouncement since the fall of France. United States minister to North Africa. Robert Murhpy. cabled his views on the speech to the state department. He asserted that Giraud demonstrated beyond question hto determination to restore French Liberties. Giraud declared In his address that he had no political ambitions. He promised his country a post-war government of her own choosing. At the same tim-i, he repealed all racial discriminatory laws under hto jurisdiction. The next move Is up to the fighting French -who have been advocating an end to all Vichy edicts. Hut so far no comment has been forthcoming from the De Gaulle faction. EDEN AND HULL (ContL’iuad rim Fags I) attended the 90-minute White House discussion on the plan yesterday, Is understood to have argked vigorously against inclusion of this point.

Washington, D. C.— A landing at, Safi, white robed Arabs ignoring I rifle fire to bum cigarottea, a bullet's sting and a doctor pumping life-saving plasma Into his veins—these are vivid recollections of Lieutenant Landis D. Morris of Olar. South Carolina. One of the first wonntted men returned from North Africa to Walter Reed Hospital here, Morris can joke now as he waits for an ugly gutter wound tn his skull to heal. “1 made the mistake of sticking my head up twice in the same place,” he say., with a grimace. "That's how the sniper got me." Then, more seriously: "That doctor was a whiz. Kept humming all the time he was taking the bones out. If It hadn't been for blood plasma. 1 guess I wouldn't be here today.” Morris isn't the flrut soldier whose life bus been saved by plasma from blood donated through the Red Cross. The miracles began at Pearl Harbor and have ton happening ever since. Returning recently from North Africa, Major General James C. Magee, surgeon general of the Army, told of <-ase after MW In which plasma has meant the difference between life and death. "In one instance,” he says "four hundred men were badly burned aboard ship Treatment was given promptly and all except six recovered. Blood plasma gets the credit to a very large degree." In Alaska, a rescue party headed by Major Milo Fritz biked on snowshoes to reach a pilot crashed on an isolated mountain range. They got there just in time for plasma transfusions to pull him out of shock caused by a broken leg and ten days' ex-1 poeure.
