Sample of “Red” Propaganda. In Korea The “poem” and information below is a sample of the propaganda issued by the Red Chinese government to the U. S. soldiers in Korea. The following was sent home here by Robert Dust, from Korea, and was dropped in U. S. territory by Chinese planes. POHM FROM A DEAD GI JOEY It was found on the body of a GI named Joey, who was among 50 others killed in action. Birds eye view of Korea Just across the great Pacific — Korea is the spot Where we’re doomed to spend our time In the land that God forgot. Down with the snakes and lizards Down where a Man gets blue Right in the middle of nowhere A million miles from you. We sweat, we freeze, we shiver It’s more than a man can stand We’re not supposed to be convicts Just defenders of our land. We are soldiers of the 31st RCT Earning a measley pay Guarding people with millions For only $2.50 a day. Nobody knows we are living Nobody gives a damn At home we are forgotten We belong to Uncle Sam. The time I have spent in the Army The time of my life I have missed Boy’s don’t let the Draft get you And for God’s sake don’t enlist. When we get up to Heaven To St. Peter we will tell “We are soldiers of Korea We’ve spent our time ni Hell.” Joey was against this senseless war, but just the same he ended a victim because he did nothing to quit it. Take heed of Joey’s warning and quit this mess. ‘ EBENEZER LADIES AID The Ebenezer Ladies Aid society was entertained last Thursday, Feb. 21, in the home of Mrs. Roy Wilkinson and Mrs. Mary Wilkinson, with Mrs. Howard Bitner, Mrs. Ray Wilkinson, Mrs. Edwin Green and Mrs. Blanche Green assistihg hostesses.

INDUSTRY Town Votes $26 Million For Industry ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. — The people of the small East Tennessee town of Elizabethton are determined to attract new industry into the community. Capitalizing on a 1951 state legislative act, Elizabethton voters have approved bond issues totaling $26,000,000 in three separate referendums. The money will go for construction of industrial plants for lease to private business. By a vote of 2,087 to 17, the community authorized a $4,000,000 issue for a nylon plant to be leased to Textron, Inc. Later they approved another $2,000,000 for the same plant. The vote was 1,457 to 16. The latest vote was 1,262 to 6 in favor of a $20,000,000 plant to be occupied by Monadnock Paper Mills, Inc., of Bennington, N. H. And the community indicates it is not through yet. Proposals for at least three additional plants representing a total of $25,000,000 are being studied and still other industries have applied for consideration. Idea Mushrooming The idea of building plants and leasing them is mushrooming. City officials have the full backing of Elizabethton’s residents, but R. C. Turrentine, bank president, summed up local sentiment this way: “We want to be careful not to get any fly-by-night operators.” The first steps in the series of events turning Elizabethton into a boom town came early in 1951 when the state legislature passed an act authorizing cities to issue revenue bonds for industrial buildings. Such issues must be approved by three-fourths of the voters and the bonds must be retired with rental from the buildings. No tax-supported bonds can be used for the purpose. Elizabethton has been existing on the strength of a single industryrayon. Five thousand persons are employed at the two plants in operation in the community. To Rent Plants In addition to the fact that Elizabethton is preparing to rent plants to industries, there are other advantages attractive to businessmen: The community, in a mountainous area, has an ample supply of manpower. Electricity is plentiful and cheap. Timber resources are lavish. The water supply is abundant. The climate is desirable. The future looks bright for Elizabethton, but some of its residents fear they may hit a snag. B. E. Wooten, president of the Chamber of Commerce, says congress may revise the law to prohibit private industry from benefiting from the taxexemptions of cities. “We want to get all the industries we can before this sort of financing is halted.” he said. “We don’t believe congress will seek to collect the taxes on these factories already established under this arrangement.” Texas Town Turns Out For Antipolio Cleanup ODESSA, Texas.—The city of Odessa recently conducted a cleanup campaign that could be a model for hundreds of home towns across the nation. Residents armed with rakes and disinfectants undertook the campaign in an effort to wipe out an epidemic of polio that had reached a total of 62 cases, nine of them fatal. Bankers, lawyers, clergymen, and doctors were among the thousands who put on work clothes. Both banks and many business houses closed. Other firms operated with skeleton crews of women. A clothier gave away 840 pairs of work gloves. A grocery donated a barrel of rakes and shovels. Neighboring towns sent 120 trucks and drivers. Oil companies provided mobile units. Used in cleaning oil wells, to spray alleys with live steam. Debris from yards, vacant lots, and streets was piled high and burned in a special dump established north of the city. Five hundred truckloads of trash were hauled to the dump. Housewives served hot coffee and food to the workers. The city was divided into four zones, with 25 sectors in each. Workers were directed by 10 radio cars and three radio stations.

WASHINGTON AND "SMALL BUSINESS” By C. WILSON HARDER

The Office of Price Stabilization, often referred to around Washington as the Office Plenty Screwy, has now alerted itself to ward off a threatened blow that could not only be disastrous to the United States, but also presumably to the United Nations, the armament program, and

■ veloped, they say, to copiously I spray behind the Iron Curtain such perfumes as “Tabu”, “My Sin”, “Indiscrete”, “Aphrodisia”, with the hope that enemy hearts will so fill with love they won’t want to fight. * * * No one seems to know exactly what the Office Plenty Screwy is attempting to do except interfere with every business. ♦ * • There is plenty evidence even OPS officials are confused. * * « Washington laughs over OPS press release containing “excerpts from an extemporaneous j speech” by Edward Phelps, assistant director of OPS. •. • But these extemporaneous remarks of Phelp’s were released to the press the day before he made the speech. Now there is a new phrase in Washington “planned extemporaneousness”. • ♦ ♦ Whiskey, beer, wine, have all received special attention from the OPS, so it seems natural that cosmetics get attention. • * * The big mystery is this: what has OPS done to hold down the actual living costs. Even the yearly report of the Presidential Council of Economic Advisors shows prices have advanced steadily since OPS was formed. And in order to comply with controlless controls, thousands of small businessmen have spent thousands of profitless manhours filling out thousands of forms. * * * With department store sales down 13 per cent, in January despite great sales it is evident prices are being held down only by fierce competition existing for that part of the consumer’s dollar left after huge tax bites. But it should be comforting that OPS realizes it shouldn’t cost any more to smell pretty. ?s
