SCRAP TO SLAP THE JAPS - OFF THE MAP " ■ ■ i ■mil! VICTORY Boy UN,TED STATES DEFEMSE BONDS • STAMPS SI.OO A YEAR IN ADVANCE VOLUME XXVI. Saturday, March Seventh Is Designated As “MacArthur Day” Saturday, March 7, will be exactly three months after Pearl Harbor. It has been named “MacArthur Day” in tribute to the gallant and he roic stand made in the Philippines by General Douglas MacArthur and his American and Filipino troops. “MacArthur Day” serves also as a reminder that we in the United States sold Japan many hundreds of thou sands of tons of scrap iron and steel in recent years. And that selfsame scrap iron and steel, manufactured into Japanese shot and shell and bomb, was used to rain death and destruction on Pearl Harbor and Wake and Manila and Singapore. It will be used for months, perhaps years, to come to kill Ameri cana. That ia why Saturday, March 7, — the day for scrap iron collection —has been named MacArthur Day. It’s to remind us of the need for scrap.

(signed) SEMINOLE COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, CITY OF DONALSONVILLE, ENDORSED BY THE LOCAL LIONS CLUB. OUR SCRAP COMING BACK (Editorial) War isn’t a pretty business, nor a pleasant thing. It’s a sicken ing nightmare of stark madness, but when bloodthirsty and power crazed dictators seek to crush peace-loving nations, it becomes a necessary business for the victims of their aggression. Americans didn’t ask for this war. The dastardly criminality of Japan’s assault on Pearl Harbor thrust it upon us. Since that dark hour when death and destruction swept out of the clouds over a peaceful mid-Pacific, we’ve been in this war with both feet. We intend to stay in it with both feet until it’s finished, until the Nazi beer-parlor orator and his ilk are extermi nated from the earth, and until we’ve watched the final setting of the Rising Sun. As Americans, we deteat sneaks, and despise thieves and cow urds. Ail 130,000,000 of us saw red that fateful day of Pearl Har bor’s attack. But we are not ; we are not terrified. We pos ses a quiet, grim determination to get job done—the job of rid ding the world of the Nazi, Japanese and Fascist rats. The righteous wrath fanned into such furious flame by Pear! Harbor must not die within us. Our resolve must not falter. The strength united with which we built this nation must not fag. We mustn’t say: “Oh, well, the Army and Navy land Marines will take care of the war,” and go our complacent ways, content to let the other fellow do it. Have tiny Wake Island and its heroic defenders been forgot ten? Instead of the phrase we’ve come to know so well, let’s make it: “Remember Pearl Harbor—and Wake, Americans’.” Wake to the fact we’re at war! Wake to the full fury’ of our united strength! Wake to our weaknesses! Wake to duty and re sponsibility! Wake to the fact that this is not merely a soldier’s war! Wake up, American!s Saturday, March 7, all rural Georgia will honor General Doug las MacArthur, who, with his men, seized command of the situa tion in the Philippines. “MacArthur Day” will be a tribute to their courage and heroism—the men who have taken it on the chin and come back for more. On that day let’s remember the dead of Pearl Harbor and of MacArthur’s forces. The wounds they have borne were made by shot and shell and bomb manufactured with the selfsame scrap iron we once sold to Japan. There’s more scrap where that came from. Let s gather it from our farms and cities and send it to the Japs, with interest, in return for every lethal blast they’ve showered on MacArthur and his men. It’ll take a lot of scrapping to win this war. Get busy and scrap. Gather every bit of iron and steel tha has served its purpose, and sell it Saturday—“MacArthur Day so it may be used for guns and ships and planes and tanks, and bombs to fight the Japs. Scrap—lest an enemy bomb fall on your farm or home! 0 We thought that women could spread gossip and rumor but the war produces new talent along this line. O- What has become of the politician who maintained for many years that no nation would dare attack the United States. 0 People who are already tired of hearing about the war will probably be surprised how much they will have to hear about it before it’s over. O No Geraldine, there is no tru.th in the report that the Con gressmen, who voted against the two-ocean navy, have volunteer ed for immediate service. - . .

BUY DEFENSE BONDS tMAKE EVERY PAY DAY BOND DAY JONI THE PAY* ROLL SAVINGS PLAN SINGLE COPIES 5 CENTS Draftees Will Be Inducted Same Day Os Physical The War Department today advised National Headquarters, Selective Ser- I vice System that all acceptable regis ; trante will be inducted into the mili tary forces at the time of the Army physical examination, thereby elimi nating the present Army pre-induc tion procedure. National Headquarters said that the War Department has given assurances that in cases where the immediate in duction would cause undue hardship to the registrant he will be given an immediate furlough to adjust his ci vilian affairs. Although the final physicial exami nation by the Army will continue to be the moat thorough one given to re gistrants, the local boards will con tinue to give “screening” examina tions, rejecting the obviously physi cally unfit men. Under the new procedure regi strants will have the same rights of appeal and right of personal appear ance before their local boards as they do at present. Instead of receiving the notice to report for physical examination by the armed forces as they do now, the registrants will be given a notice of induction, National Headquarters said.
