THEY ALSO SERVE
Telephone offices now proud
ly display service flags —as
a patriotic tribute to those
in the armed forces of the
Nation.
Although the star figures
in the center field of white
show the number of Southern
Bell men now in the armed
services, the flag y might ^ also
symbolize all Southern Bell
employes—for all are whole
heartedly serving their coun
try in this great world crisis,
The telephone, fittingly
termed the nerve center of
the Nation, is even more vi- j
tally important in war than
in peace. Thus the telephone
men and women at home
whose lives are devoted to
its dependable and efficient
function are definitely — in
fh° war All stand ready for
emergency calls at any hour
of any day—operators, line
men, construction men, re
pair men— everybody.
In or out of uniform, tele
phone folks are doing their
war work—for they all serve,
and the spirit of service was
never more in evidence than
it is today.

Farmers Advised

The Agriculture Department re
ported this week that boll weevil
infestations continued to be spot
ted in the cotton belt and advised
growers in the 12 southern states
where the weevils caused serious
ficient use of poison to chack the
spread of the pest.
Reports from state and federal j
entomologists indicated, the de
partment said, these conditionsj
during the first week in July:
Texas — Weevil infestation suf
ficiently heavy to require control
in the eastern half of the state.

Georgia—Reports from 21 coun- i
ties indicated boll weevils found’
in ail fields examined, the infesta- i
tion varying from ope to 60 per |

Floirda—Average boll weevil in
testations in five counties slightly
higher than in 1940-41, but much
lower than in 1938-39.
South Carolina—No general in- ]

Car Pooling
Sharing rides by pre-arrange
ment to supplant the hit-or-miss
thumb and pick-up method of giv
ing the other fellow a lift, is being
urged to conserve gas, tires, and
autos. They call it “car pooling”
in the gas rationed area, but tires
and moving auto parts are wearing
out no matter where you live.
The government asks everyone
to follow the good neighbor policy
in making full use of his car. Re

reports to the contrary.
Small Business
WPB has established a new sec

/trtfioivf idvr Of Fortune
BY ALEXA BYRNE FORD
EDITOR'S NOTE—Alexa Byrne Ford is known throughout
the country because of her excellent poems which appear in the
SATURDAY EVENING POST and other leading periodicals. In
writing the “Armoraider of Fortune,” this poet has caught the
spirit of the soldier of fortune with the deftness and sweep of
Kipling. And further, has suggested the spirit of Armored
Force men, whose esprit is known now throughout the world,
due to their participation in the Bataan campaign where two
battalions of the Armored Force fought until the end.
As has been said recently by one of our national columnists,
in the Armored Force are to be found glamour of the Air Corps
and the tough fighting spirit of the Marines. This is due,
perhaps, to the fact that the Armoraider knows that the part he
is to play in this global war is one which calls for the highest
qualities of courage, ability and training. His mission is to
make a frontal attack, through the enemy, destroying all in his
path, or else to envelop the enemy and destroy his lines of
supply and communication.
I’ve been a soldier here,
An’ I’ve been a soldier there,
But now I’m armoraidin’
At home or anywhere.
I've knowed a Gunga Din
With the Tommies in the East,
An’ fought beside a coolie
An’ a golden robed priest.
I've ate the Border dust
j An’ been shot down to chieftains my knees,
I’ve drunk with Mongol
An’ scratched the self-same fleas.
I’ve growed a beard or two
An’ been kissed for bein’ brave :
An’ thanked my lucky whiskers
! I’d not had time to shave.
I I’ve drug my belly up
A hill to meet the fire! j
Whoever says I wasn’t scared
I’ll call a lovin’ liar.
I I’ve rode a hundred days
In a yellow corded hat,
An’ pitched the dung in stables
i Till I had enough of that.
!
I’ve swung the prop around
For a foreign co-lo-nel,
An’ watched him fly his fighter
. From heaven down to hell.
;
I’ve saved a heathen soul
An’ been damned for doin’ so,
An’ then a heathen saved me
j From another heathen foe.
I’ve skid a caisson's wheels
With a cannon out behind,
Till the swing horse jumped his traces
An the ammunition vyhined.
I’ve been a Leatherneck
An’ learned their cocky lip,
An’ walked my duty watches
On a stinkin’ battleship.
I've swum a filthy lake
With my rifle in my hand,
An' led a crazy foray
Into forbidden land.
I sold my medals once
An' drank the proceeds down,
An’ won ’em back at poker
v In a Malay tradin’ town.
I’ve walked the Kobe bund
An’ been shanghaied once or twice,
Where my closest cabin mates
Was rats and friendly mice.
i I’ve executed three
An’ watched a traitor fall,
His shadow thin an’ lonely
Against the prison wall.
I’ve followed any flag
That called me with its wavin’,
An’ served most any country
I thought needed savin’.
#
But now I’ll ride to blazes
With an Armoraider crew,
Till the Axis pigs is slaughtered
An’ their bloody war is through.

CAMPAIGN OPENS ) |
SALVAGE DRIVE |
j
Backed by a nation-wide adver
tising campaign, part of which will
be carried in the Covington NEWS
the greatest salvage drive of the j
war got under way this week—!
an all-out, continuing effort to
collect scrap materials for war
production.
There will be no time-limit on
the campaign, although it will
take advantage of the fact that
the summer is the best time of
year to build up stockpiles of
waste material.
War Production Chief Donald
M. Nelson sounded the keynote of
the drive;
‘‘The immensity of the task we
face makes it absolutely necessary
to step up the tempo of our na
tional salvage program. Our war
production is limited only by the
supply of raw materials, and
scrap is an important part of the
raw material supply, ■
"This makes it clear that the
only way we can meet the re
quirements of war production is
to collect every last bit of scrap
from every farm and home, and
from every commercial enterprise
and industry in the country.”
The intergrated salvage effort
has three clearly defined parts;
1. Collection of iron and steel to
keep the blast furnaces operating
and the nation's steel mills run
ning at capacity; also rubber and |
other waste materials.
2. Collection of 500,000,009
pounds of household fats, such as
bacon drippings, to stimulate pro- j
duction of glycerine. Housewives I
wiil be paid up to 5 cent a pound
for the fats at the 300,000 meat
markets which will serve as col
lection depots.
3. A tin-can collection campaign, j
centered initially in 36 metropoli
tan areas to salvage 500,000 tons
of tin cans.
The iron and steel industry, gly- j
cerine producers and associated in
dustries have raised $2,000,000 for
