RED CROSS DRIVE HERE HITS S9OO MARK

The Red Cross Drive in Syracuse and Wawasee and community is lagging! That’s the only, way to describe it. Far" too few of our citizens have failed to step forward and pay their part. What IS your part? Well, that’s a hard question to answer —perhaps only YOU can answer it. If you’re working, naking more money than you ever did in your life (as many, many are) —well, is a dollar YOUR part 7 Is $lO your part? ANYTHING you give is so far beneath that given by our men and women in the armed service, that there is no comparison. But YOU be the judge! Are you having a hard time to make “ends meet” in these days of high prices? Compare your situation with that of our boys in the fox holes before you give! , Are YOU buying luxuries — things you never had in before? Well, how abour it? Instead of those you don’t need— how fto THEY stack up against what 250 Syracuse boys and girls are giving- — all over the world? YOU be the judge! Have YOU enough money—could YOU beg, borrow or steal enough money-- to make any’ kind of a favorable comparison? YOU be the judge! Excuses! The local Red Cross committee doesn’t want EXCUSES! These workers are giving their time, voluntarily, they give their meager supply of Acoupon gasoline, and wear out precious tires. We’re a- king you to go in voluntarily with your donation. This isn’t a private war—it’s not not for democrats only—it's not for republicans—it's not only for Methodists —or for any other group! It’s YOUR war—and if our United States isn’t on the winning side—well, all you have —money, home, family—it’s all lost! How much can YOU give to this Red Cross campaign? Y6u be the judge! Don’t let on you haven’t read about this drive—every adult in this community is wel l aware of it —don’t make excuses! Just one question—how much?

The Methodist ladies will serve the noon luncheon. Some of the committees for meeting were named. Mrs. Freeman reviewed the book, “The Ten Commandments.” She first read from a comment by Boake Carter, given two years ago, about the Bible. This book is very interesting and Mrs. Freeman gave the review in a manner which held everyone’s interest and created a desire for everyone to read the book. This was a most enjoyable afternoon. The club will meet March 29 th with Mrs. Ted Hilbish. H. D. Harkless has purchased the residence and garage building of Guy Hoover, on south Huntingtoft street.

Pfc. John P. Hughes, jr., s a- ! tioned at Camp Butner, N. <!., is home on an 11 day furlough. le came in The Journal office to thank us for sending him j h® paper, and asked thtit weu hay- “ Hello,” for him to all the biys from Syracuse in the service. Pvt. William W. Stetler, ! 9. of Syracuse, has arrived at the ..the College Training Detachment at Davidson College, Davidson, Jj.C., for a course of instruction lasing about 5 months, prior to his appointment as an aviation cad<t in the Army Air Forces Fi ring Training command. We do . not have his address. v An accidental explosion Os a bomb at Camp Robinson, Ark., Monday killed 19 soldiers and wounded other. The only sc dier from this vicinity at this • amp is a brother of Mrs. Rosco s rio ward, and he was not amcnj; the casualties. From Pfc. Harry Coy: IJo*ry I haven’t written sooner, tut you know a soldier —his best e :cuse is “no time.” I want tc (hank you for The Journal; I appreciate it very much and I know a l the others in the service do t<o. I was very glad to receive :h) special Christmas edition, find I thank all those responsible for the Issue. I know it was a real success with the boys r.ni’ also those at home.

A letter from Chapla n Travis Purdy, who is in Englan 1, has some interesting things in it that ties right in with t ie Red Cross campaign now in p ogress.

My hat is off to these Red Cr )ss girls over here, and they are doing a grand piece of work. 11 makes one sick at heart to see their willingness and sacrifice xnd then put it up against the pet,y things and shallowness that ir. all to abundant in life. It pi ts us to shame. She is living without heat in her quarters and* has been moved so many time s—tents, huts and the general 1 nconveniences of field work.

Ohio’s Governor Bricker Builds Outstanding Record of Economy

Columbus, O. (Spl.)—ln 23 years of experience jn one office of public trust after another, Gov. John W. Bricker of Ohio, has built a record K - 3 KTI Gov. John W. Bricker for sound government which marks him as one of America’s outstanding administrators. But even if one does not go back beyond January 9, 1939, when Bricker took office as Ohio’s chief executive, one will discover a list of outstanding, almost unbelievable accomplishments which today have brought the Buckeye State’s three-time-governor to the front as a candidate for the Republican nomination for President of the United States. When Bricker took the helm of Ohio’s government it was operating on a deficit basis and was approximately $40,000,000 “in the red.” The new Governor pledged his administration to put the state on a pay-as-you-go basis, pay the debt, meet the full requirements of the state school financing program for the first time, provide adequate relief for the un-

Local Grocery Changes Hands The Bachman grocery store, owned by C. C. Bachman, and his son, Hilary, was sold Wednesday to Harry Carter, of Carrollton, 111., who took possession Thursday. Mr. Carter has been in the grocery business for about 25 years, haing recently sold his store there. Mr. Bachman, Sr., has been in business here for just 20 years, and during that time has gained hundreds of friends. He says he will be "like a fish out of water,” now and hasn’t made any plans for the future. Hilary Bachman will stay with the new owner for a short time. Mrs. Carter, wife of the new owner, is known here. She is the daughter of Rev. J. A. Carwile, and was prior to her marriage last summer to Mr. Carter, employed at the Bachman store. The only change Mr. Carter has announced is that, due to lack of help he will discontinue delivery ■ service after Saturday night.

R. E. Boulton, officer in charge of Marine Induction and recruiting in Indiana, who announces that opportunity for voluhtary enlistment still is open to these youths. Maj. Boulton said that hundreds of Indiana men in this age group have joined the Marine Corps during the past months and have proved themselves to be excellent Leathernecks, possessing the traditional Marine Corps qualifications for efficient fighting and devoted service. ship service with sermon by the pastor at 11:15.

employed, start a long over-due Institutional building program, and improve the regular, day-to-day operations of the state government—all without any increase in taxes! The program was prodigious. Citizens, politicians and the press, all were skeptical that his goal was possible of achievement. Bricker went to work with a vengeance. He selected strong key men for his department heads—men he had known personally for years—men he could count on. He ordered every kind of economy—none too little, none too big. He saved millions of dollars in road materials, and just plain dollars on prunes, bacon, syrup and staple foods for the state’s institutions; hundreds of thousands of dollars in the trucking, warehousing and rentals of the state’s monopoly liquor and thousands of dollars through salvage of state equipment—long before the nation was salvage-conscious. He fired 3,000 unnecessary state employes who have never b?en replaced. S. P. Bush, president of the Citizens Tax League of Ohio, a Democrat, industrialist and* ?ivic leader, said it was the first time in his half century of personal observation that he had seen a governor “actually roll up his sleeves and start saving the peqple’s money.” At the same time, Bricker saw to it that taxes were collected where and when the law intended them to be collected, reorganized the Tax Department and reduced the cost of collection. Results were apparent at once. State government -became really efficient. Now, at the beginning of his sixth year as Governor all of the inherited $40,000,000 debt has been paid, the state has never resorted to deficit financing, there is a $74,000,000 cash surplus in the state treasury, wejfare and local government needs have been met. And there has been no increase in taxes! Q ' ... -
