Editor Mail: I read with interest the account of the farewell talk made by Wm. C. Maugans. the retiring president of the Board of County Commission- ers, and I agree with him that the new Board does face a challenge during the next four years in fur- thering the fine progress the old Board made. During the recent election cam- paign I heard a lot of whispering from Republicans, ail of it deroga- tory to the incumbent Democrats and I think I'm right in saying that about 99 per cent of it was without foundation.

Much of it was direct- ed at the County Roads Department in spite of the fact the department actually has been declared second to none in the state, as Mr. Mau- gans said.

17, The White House disclosed today that President Roosevelt has pro- claimed Tuesday, a a 12, as farm mobilization day, when meet- ings will be held to consider means of "insuring for the year 1943 the maximum production of vital foods." He called on farmers, wherever possible, to gather a day with Department of Agriculture repre- extension i agents, vocational teachers, state officials, farm organizations and others concerned. His proclamation, signed yester- day, said a "I should like farm mobilization day to be a symbol of a free Am- erica; a symbol of the might and productivity of our nation; and a symbol of our unalterable determi- nation to put to full use our agri- cultural resources, as well as our other in the achievement of complete victory." Asserting a every pound of food finds use in wartime, the Chief Executive said farmers might just- ly be proud of their production rec- ord of maximum harvests for three successive years. The country, Mr. Roosevelt said, owes them a debt of gratitude. "Food is no less a weapon than tanks, guns and planes," he said.

"As the power of our enemies de- creases, the importance of the food resources of the United Nations in- creases. With this thought in mind, we must further mobilize our re- sources for the production of food." IN THE SERVICE (The Daily a would i to hear from and Wash- ington county boys and girls the service.
