Dey In 1943 to no mere holiday. It to a day ou which an the nation's citizens pledge allegiance to the cause of freedom for which the flag stands, the selfsame cause for which Americans today are fighting and giving their lives on distant battlefronts of the world-wlde struggle against the organised forces of evil, tyranny and bate. Because hi so many wayy he is tha living symbol of our country's fighting faith and unconquerable will to victory, Flag Day ceremonies throughout the land this Sunday will pay special tribute to General Douglas It was this unconquerable will, this fighting faith 4n a Just cause, that led a handful of woefully iU aqublPCd colonies in 1778 to take up arms to win their Independence.

In 78 Tom Paine, speaking of that forward step in the march of human freedom, proclaimed CAWE- goal that guides America's course today: -li the object only of war that makes It honor-Slabd if there was ever a Just war since the work! begbg, tt Is this in which America to now engaged Wo fight not to enslave, but to set a country free, and (o make room upon the earth for honest men to live in. United in that aim today, America will not falter tt4ha good fight to won. The way may be long and harOut we have known our Valley Forges. XJnited under one flag, America will not let the enemy's wiles divide her people by bigotry and suspicion or by stirring up strife against any religious, racial or economic group. True Americans will, on Juno 14.

find heartfelt meaning in their pledge of allegiance to the flag and to the republic for which It tends. Ona flag, one nation, one people, indivisible, with liberty end Justice for aU. HARVEST BRIGADES WANTED In many rnimumitht of tha State, city dwellers have been signing up in the past week for service in California's vineyards, fields and orchards. Schools, colleges and service organizations have been recruiting a young army of workers to swell the ranks of the harvest battalions. War has cut deeply into the normal farm labor supply Without tha help of thousands of clty-dwellen fa.

ninny that gap, of dollars in crops, the State Chamber of Commerce estimates, will perish and rot on the Tine, in the orchards, and in the truck garden fields. Townspeople who Join these farm battalions during their vacation period win be doing a genuine service for the war effort. Food cant win the war, feed America td Its fighting men, unless the crops get harvested. City dwellers will receive a valuable by-product In ILe way of stimulating, worthwhile ezperienca that in addition, to na for a better understanding OMhe-fermerli problems. Jtk needed.

We have heard shoppers. Of late, criticizing the OPA for not putting witinff on term products, and protesting any current advance in term prices. The OPA can easily fix prices on manufactured goods, but tha OPA cant control Mother Nature. Oranges, eggs, vegetables vary enormously one from awnt'r in quality; no fixed price could Ikirly apply to all. Farm production cant be spread evenly throughout the year to ensure unchanging supplies.

Crops are at the mercy of floods and droughts which disregard price-fixing decrees. Todayb lack of term labor to limiting tha alas of many crops that can be harvested. BmaU supplies plus Mg demand make higher prices inevitable. In answering the appeal for farm workers, city volunteers have a to kill two birds with ana atone a grave labor shortage and tha higher living costa it produces. Good reason far Joining the harvest brigades! FIGHTING IRON MEN Is 10 per cent of ynur Income too high a price to pay lor victory? Thats the sum, no more nor less, the government hopes Americans will Kgulariy enroll in war savings bonds and stamp for the three-fold purpose of helping Hitler and Eire hi to, stave off Inflation, and etna up a mighty backlog of purchasing power for the poet-war days.

so vital to that 10 per cent to the aaUools welfare, a' Treasury official has Just warned unless this quote can be met voluntarily, a compulsory savings plan will have to be Introduced to conscript iron men. Few persons wlU relish that prospect. We don't hke to be bossed around by a big stick or made to submit to compulsory orders. In the American tradition, it's free, voluntary cooperation that holds away. It's In that spirit that thousands of firms and their-employee are wholeheartedly adopting payroll allotment plans for tha purchase of war bonds and stamps.

No less than lO.mUUon wage-earners to date, have voluntarily subscribed to this plane. Large scale retell organizations, through their thousands of outlets, have been able to quickly reach a vast army of employes and set the voluntary payroll allotment plan In operation on a grand scale. Among employee, the bond and stamp drive to catching fin in earnest, with workers tat these large organizations teaming up to form vic-. tory clubs, each club hurtling to outcompete the other in tales and purchases. This to the spirit that wins.

Countless Uvea in World War I could have been saved if this Inevitable delay for hoipttaltoation had not been necessary. Overleaping this obstacle, tha new method submits the pint of blood to a process which separatee the red and white corpuscles from ths liquid plasma. Afterwards placed under a temperature of 80 degree below zero, the plasma to frozen into a solid, and later dried under high vacuum treatment until ft to reduced to a golden powder which keeps Its llfe-eus-t alnlng power Indefinitely.
