DENTON, TEXAS, JANUABy 13, 1942 ENLISTMENTS UP Tiie deluge of applicants for enlistment in the U. S'. armed forces is a good Indication that the American youth of today is Just as patriotic and just as willing to make personal sacrifices to protect this country as the boys of 1917. In fact, enlistment now lacks some of the color and romance that was associated with the enlistment of men back In World War I days, for then a uniform was a rarity, while now some million men have been in training for the best part of a year.

The willingness of young men to enlist although it may mean foreign service is a direct answer to those who have declared that American boys should never fight in foreign lands. Experience of this war has proved that the battlefronts are where the enemy is, whether at home or abroad, on land or sea, and it is up to the experts to decide whether American war power can be utilized to the best advantage in defending this country by taking the war to the enemy's home. CANT BE DEPENDED UPON Rumors of internal dissension In Germany sound too good to be true. Certainly Germany is having more troubles now than at any time since the war started, but whether these reported differences will mean a lessening of Qerman hitting power remains to bs seen. Wishful thinking on 'the part of the allies won't make Germany crack.

Only jarring blows to the military and economic strength of Germany, Italy and Japan will do the trick. Germany is suffering reverses in Russia and In Africa; Japan is getting pushed back in parts China, but the British, Dutch and American forces arc getting the worst of the deal in the Philippines, Malaya, ana the Netherlands East, Indies. The nritlsh have suffered repeated reverses, yet keep on lighting, and there Is no reason to believe that the Axis powers will collapse at the flist reverse in a long' string of military victories. Germany, finally realizing the power the allied nations, Is likely to make a more determined effort than ever to cinch victory before Its enemies get too strong to be overcome. It would be sheer folly for the Allies to ease up in the hope that on internal crackup will occur.

The stories may. be deliberate fabrications to provide a background for a Nazi feint to draw Great. Britain Into a dangerous, position. NINETEEN YEARS AGO (Prom Record-Chronicle, January 13, 1923) Dr. T.

It has nearly 1400 pages, size Inches, nnd a conservative guess would, be that It lias two and a million words and figures. You can buy a copy from the government printing office tor $2.25 which is cheap, beta only about $1 a million words. In all other however, this.184.3 budget is no bargain: fft Is considerably duller reading than a mail-order catalog and while Its. sedative qualities might make It tlie perfect companion for an air raid shelter, it is not recommended as a substitute for a whodunit. Of course ft takes a book of these Chicago telephone directory, bull-clYoking proportions to accounl for ways In which $56 billion might be spent nnd a nations! debt of $110 billion be accumulated by July 1043.

It takes In such a wide variety of Items thousands of them. On page 513, for instance, you Icarn that the Department of the Interior contemplates spending only $135,000 next year, instead of 4150,000, to' aid tlie Indians In.tlic culture of frulls grains and oilier crops. On page 5 is the estimate of $4000 for the purchase, exchange, driving, maintenance and operation an automobile for; the president. On pagn 1031 Is an estimate of $16,940 to run tho dog pound for the District'of Columbia. This hits'the middle, beginning and end" of tho budget boolc, but It also being facetious, and that Is noj po.Hte in wartime.

A. M. Scientists find there arc 1800 storms goitig on every 'minute. Have they been poking out or in windows? Treasury Department has received gifts total- Ing to help win the war. Folks are more willing to eive till It hurts, If it hurts the Japs, Here are a number of tips on the shape of things to 'ome.

And to hit the highlights, here are just a few: Only about 35 per cent of the nation's steel production now goes for war, but this will be raised to if) or 60 per cent. Shipbuilding, originally estimated at a possible maximum of six million tons a year, will be raised to eight million and perhaps to 10 million tons In 11943. Fifty thousand planes a year used to be thought an unattainable goal, but by sharpening their pencils the production men have found ways to step up to 60,000 or even 125.000 'a year. The types of planes, combat, bomber, training and so on, will hereafter not be specified. The $50 billion budget does not include anything 'or St.

Ijflwrence power and navigation project, nor 'or any project now before Congress in the form of special appropriation bill. Tlie budget includes only an initial $13.0 billion for the war. Large supplemental requests will ba made later, as will additional requests for farm, aid, WPA, youth program and others. Most hopeful and encouraging aspects of war- financing nre that tlie interest rates are per cent today as against 4 per cent and better ii) 1917, that inflation is being prevented by price control, and there is a possibility or keeping up the national income after the war, taxes being kept up at the same time to reduce the national debt. MAN ABOUT MANHATTAN NEW YORK, January in tliis city Eire watching their speedometers and giving lire plugs a wide berth.

They know Commissioner Lewis J. Valentine wasn't kidding when lie decreed doubte flues, arict even-jail sentences, for traffic violations. The commissioner is one of those hardboSled gents who deate bluntly with factual problems. "Some motorists can't be treated decently." he says, "so we'll sock where it hurts.

This led lo charges by certain Indies organizations in Uie city that he was "terrorizing "That's right," the Commissioner replied. "I can't of anything that needs terrorising more than thugs." After that he called for a general policy of tip ping for Dutch -SchuH-a, now for measure of the commissioner's burnt contempt.

The cops had orders to pick him up, and rather than come in in irons, ScliulU surrendered. When Valentine was told that the gangster had voluntarily surrendered he bit his lip and said, "My only regret is that he Ls not being carried lifto the city of New York In a box." Later the commissioner had his wish. SchuUz was assassinated by rival gangsters in a Jersey saloon. Mrs. Nance Dies At Pilot Point Special to Record-Chronicle PILOT POINT, Jan.

The NYA was commended for the administration of its program, and It was voted to ask federal authorities to continue this method of administering funds by the NYA in the future. dertake to pass on to another something they ImvD heard or think they have heard. Reference Is made to the recent denial by Leon Henderson of (he rumor that batteries and sparkplugs would be taken off the market, which had caused a run on stocks of these items.

Before that Henderson found it desirable to say that there wns no intention of commandeering private aiitomobile-s, after a remark he had made, speculating on fu- ture possibilities, had led dealers to complain that people were afraid to buy used cars for fear the government would seize them. The public is to blame to a great extent for many rumors and twist- Ing of facts about what is being done and what may be done, but some officials themselves are certainly not blameless. One of the best means of keeping down these unjustifiable reports is for the officials to discontinue speculating on what might happen and of different members of boards giving out different ideas. The public hears some dramatic reader over the radio' emphasize some of these speculative comments and starts telling for facts what WHS thought might take place. Why riot members of all these various boards get together and determine policies and refuse to speculate on until the board has reached a decision, and if any speculating is to be done, let the board members be united on such speculation? Comments are being made about the selective service procedure which tend to upset those who are registered and keep them from feeling that their status is at least settled for the time-being.

One national selective service official not long ago was reported to have told a group to forget all draft rules prior to Dec. soon another member made the statement that there had been no change in the rules; and then local boards were told not to rush into reclassifying registrants unless there was a change In the status.

Reviews Travel Book for Club A review of the travel book, "Cannibals and Orchids," bj' Leona Miller was given by Mrs. Lyle Montgomery at a meeting of the varied study department of the Ariel Club Monday when Mrs. W. R. Blair was hostess In her home.

Mrs. E. N. Woodrum, chairman, urged members to cooperate In Red Cross work, to buy defense bonds and stamps and to remember contributions of books to the Denton County Public Library. Lcona Miller, author of "Cannibals and Orchids," was a New York debutante who, in seeking adventure, exprcsed her willingness to finance an expedition if allowed to go along.

her book, she gives an account of a filming expedition through the jungles Dutch New Guiana in the Dutch East Indies, led by Charles Miller', an American born in the military post on the island, she later marries. She lives among primitive people, still in the stone age of civilization, who are content Jo "digest travelers" and show their skill and bravery collecting human heads. Alter the review, the iiostess served coffee to 17 members and following guests: Mmes. C. E.

Around and round the little ball sped, and finally it came to rest on No. 7. The cops gulped, the reporters let out a whoop, and the commissioner's face slowly turned to a brilliant red.

Sharing Commissioner Valentine's ire at careless motorists is Chief Magistrate Henry E. Outran, who bawled, "The most Inaccessible object, In New York today is a fire hydrant. It Is so surrounded by parked cars that fireman must be a Columbus to discover It," police department elerk.s have set to work stamping 100,000 extra summonses. Six hundred cops have been turned loose in the mid-town area, Most streets In the Manhattan business district will be forbidden parked cars. Commissioner Valentine says nt least 100,000 cars arc parked Illegally In Manhattan every 24 hours.

The Commissioner aims to do something about it. CONTEMPORARY THOUGHT service, and other fields of war endeavor. They disturb people and cause them to feel unsettled and apprehensive. Wily not all government officials, ncluding members of the many wards, get together on any statements to be made to the public, not speculate unnecessarily on possibilities of the future, and wait mill decisions hove been reached ind then these decisions announced us the definite decisions of tho officials or boards In power? And then why not the public yet 3own to business, work hard at their present jobs, quit spreading rumors about what they think they heard, and thus help maintain morale through the elimination of worry over possibilities that mny never come to pass?

So be itl i In the face of his wanton disregard of the conven Mons of war, we need not doubt that Goebbels and Oayda, the frothing drollers of the European Axis, will be ready enough with inventions to excuse the butchery at Manila.

BEN WREN DRUG Phono 49 the On the subject of rumors, Greenville Herald says: "One of the first warnings issued by the government after that fateful day on last Dec. 7, when the Japs made their sneak-attack "on American possessions, was that citizens should give no credit to rumors. The advice was well eh'eii if not so well taken. There have been hundreds of rumors during the past month that have proven to be false when traced down.

A few days ngo the reijort was current that the Priority Board shortly would stop the sale of batteries plugs for passenger automobiles and trucks not I used in defense work. There were persons who even told you they heard the statement made over tlie I radio to this But Leon Hen- tlSrson gave statement to the' press late last week that the eov- ernment had no idea of putting an emergency stoppage on the sale of Ihese two items. This particular rumor In Itself, Is itlatU'ely unimportant. But It does tend to prove that our citizenship, at least up to the present lime. Is not heeding the warning issued by the government, to refrain from giving credence to general rumors."
