NATIONAL 6 DITORIAL- Post Second Cli Matter ASSOCIATION 'tU CHECK THOSE TIRES Motorists have been slow about having their tires checked. At the halfway mark Dec. 31 less than one out of four had complied.

This ha.s piled a tremendous burden upon the inspection stations for this month. The OPA says flatly that neither gasoline ration books nor tire replacements will be issued in future to those who do not have their tires inspected by the end of January. There is going to be a grand rush in the last few days. Nobody who has waited this long is wise only the really foolish will delay longer. Better have those tires checked todav.

hile paying tribute to the heroism of the American soldiers and sailors of whom he is commander-in-chief, President Roosevelt, in his message on the of the Thursday, considered by analysts as his greatest speech, picked the Russian front as the site of the most significant strategic developments of the past year. According to dispatches from Moscow today the Soviets are well on the way to earn the same recognition for this vear. T-H-O-U-G-H-T-S FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1943 FEATHERED SOLDIERS The community is indebted to the Warren County Homing Pigeon Club for calling attention, through a display in a window of the Bimber News Room, to the important part that homing pigeons are taking in the war. Many will be interested to learn that an increasing number of these messenger pigeons are being raised in the county at present and the feathered soldiers now on exhibition are subject to a call as messengers in Uncle Army. In World War I it was estimated that more than 100,000 pigeons were used by the Allies and the Central Powers.

When details of the present global struggle can be told that figure undoubtedly will be increased by several units. In World W7ar 1 Great armed forces used over 22,000 pigeons and our own Expeditionary Forces used 6,000. In 1917 and 1918, due to the shortage of army trained birds, some of the racers were taken overseas by the A. E. F.

and pressed into service in PYancc. After the Armistice the surviving birds were brought back to New York, released from ship deck, circled the Statue of Liberty a few times and were off to their home lofts, some as far as Chicago. With the display of feathered soldiers in the Bimber News Room are pictures of some of the outstanding war heroes, their names being Cher Ami, Mocker, Spike, President Wilson, Rhinegold and Helene. Cher Ami, an American feathered soldier, was presented the Distinguished Service Cross for carrying the message that saved the Lost Battalion. 77th Division, in the Argonne.

Despite a shattered leg and bullet wound in the breast, Cher Ami reached Headquarters with the message dangling from the ligaments of his shattered leg. Pigeon messengers were used 3,000 years ago. This was substantiated by an Egyptian base relief dated about 1350 B. C. One of the earliest recorded uses of the Homer Pigeon in modern warfare occurred in 1574 when a feathered soldier carrying a message for help saved the besieged Dutch at Leyden when they were on the point of surrendering to the Spanish.

The French used pigeons extensively during the Franco- Prussian War. In raising racing pigeons, the hen pigeon lays two eggs and the period of incubation is eighteen days. The young become fledglings at five to six weeks old and their training to become racing pigeons begins when they are eight weeks old. when they are taken about one mile away from their loft and then a jump to five miles, then fifteen, then thirty and sixty. Then they are ready for their first 100-mile race.

The 300-mile station is about as far as the young bird gets his first year. His second year up to 500 and 600 miles. There is a record of a pigeon owned by Lewis F. Curtis, Chestnut Hill, that won a 600-mile race in nine hours and twenty-seven minutes of consecutive fiying, averaging more than a mile a minute all the way. The fanciers of the Warren club would like to get the people of the city interested and make this a real worthwhile club.

Anyone interested may contact an officer of the club at News Room. WARREN, A BIRTHDAYS TOMORKOWS BIKTUDAV Mariam Trezise Campbell Karl G. Timm Robert Hornstrom James Klendenning Mrs. Nina Pasco John W. James Sally MacDonald Dale Kibbe Mary Lauf ter berg Claribel Irwin Kurz Joyce Richards W.

C. Baxter B. J. Messerly Dominic A. Matteo Clara Mourer Littlefield What It Means Bv HERMAN AU RATI SYSTEM won't seem so complicated if you look on your coupons as a sort of money.

Beginning probably in Febru- i ary, you will have to these coupons for most varieties of canned, dried and frozen fruits and vegetables just as you spend nickels and dimes. Of course you will still have to fork over those nickels and dimes too. Your Book No. 2" will contain red and blue coupons I numbered 1. 2.

5 and 3 and let tered from A to Z. The numbers stand for point values and the let, ters for time periods. The blue coupons are to be used for the I processed foods and the red ones later for meat. I It may be that for the first I month of rationing you will.be permitted to use all coupons let tered and C. If so.

you will 1 have 48 points to on proc- 1 essed food. If only the coupons lettered A and are released for the first month, you will have only 32 points. As food supplies vary up or down, the OPA may permit you to use fewer in any period of time, The OPA explains that point rationing is necessary for things it is not cofl'ee is that non sub- ir. If you st about canned y. If you ke peas, scamper- im i I ar to it you 1 too.

So list on veee- like canned foods wh necessary for things and sugar. The a 0 there are few if any com stitutes for cofTee or sug; ration them you've ju covered the field. Witl goods it's a different, stoi ration just one item. 1 you simply send people ing to buy other things peas, and before you kne have a shortage in then you have to ration the of canned, dried and fro; tables to kef even keel. Here's the wav i Let's pretend for the only dried beans are ir say a shortag veloped in navy bean? do any good to ration ie supply on an will work, oment that ivolved.

has de- It won't cause folks will simply jump in and buy up all the kidney beans, lima beans, black-eyed peas (which are really beans) and pinto beans they can get their hands on. So you ration ALL kinds of dried beans. But there are plenty of lima and skads of and just about as many kidney beans. Black-eyed peas and pinto beans are not quite so plentiful. Obviously the thing to do is to push lima beans and kidney beans so that there will still be enough navy beans for everybody to get at least a few.

So you get out a point ration book. You decide that grocery buyers will have to only one point a pound for lima beans and two points for kidney beans. You decide to charge four points for black-eyed peas and six for pinto beans. But for navy beans, which are very scarce, you charge 12 points a pound. Then you decide that the general bean situation is such that you can allow each consumer 32 points worth of beans in February.

You announce that coupons lettered A and are good for that month. That means the housewife can buy 32 pounds of lima beans for each member of her household. or 8 pounds of black-eyed only 2 pounds of navy beans. She can take it all in lima beans, or divide it up way she pleases, but she gets only 32 points worth of beans all told for each person. Of course this is just a make- believe example.

Beans probably won't be handled in just this way at all. but it illustrates the principle. When point rationing comes, nearly every item of prepared food in your grocery store will i have its point soup. dried prunes, frozen peas. If you can't find exactly what you want, OPA hopes that you will be able to find something very like it.

But remember your coupons are not money. They are simply proof of your to buy a cer- I tain number of worth of goods. You will still have to take a handful of change to the store with you. YEARS AGO IN WARREN Interesting Items Taken From The Warren Evening Times IN 1928 An agitation for a street car i waiting room at the West End is certainly taking form. For years 1 people patronizing the line have 1 been forced to stand out in all sorts of weather waiting for cars and a waiting room would provide much for their comfort.

The Sheffield Glass Bottle Company has installed a new electric lehr or tempering machine which is the last word in this line of machine. It is the last word in such equipment and will do much more and better work than by the old method formerly used. D. F. A.

Wheelock was installed last evening as commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Inspection of the various companies of the 112th regiment will begin next week. Company I will be given its inspection on tne evening of January 24th. The county jail has been placed in spic and span condition for guests. The place has been painted in good shape and presents a neat and clean appearance.

IN 1938 The Lady Warren Rebekahs will hold a tureen dinner tomorrow evening in the Odd Fellows hall. There promises to he a large attendance and the women will hold their business meeting following the dining.
