The winter is half over, but it’s always the last half that is the longest. ----★- County officials should not of¬ fer much attraction this year. Most any man can make more shucking corn for two months than he can make out of a coun¬ ty office in twelve months. We note’ that the editor of one of our exchanges has discovered a man who has simplified the income tax form until it is as simple as extracting the cube root of a complex fraction. The editor of one of our ex¬ changes who keeps track of ail the important anniversaries sug¬ gests that some one should let the folk in the White House know this is National Thrift Week. A local man, with an irritat¬ ing smugness, says that he does not understand why his wife who showed such- good judge¬ ment in the selection of a hus¬ band could have such poor judge ment in the selection of a Christmas necktie. No strikes, no lockouts, no va¬ cation, no time and a half for overtime is the rule among news¬ paper editors, who, because of the scarcity of help, have taken over the mechanical duties of the back end of the shop in ad¬ dition to the editorial and of¬ fice duties. Already some war plants have closed and dismissed their work¬ ers. This does not mean that the war is over or anything like it. It simply means that what is considered an ample supply of the particular item made by these plants has been produced and production is called off un¬ til more is needed. It appears sometimes, when rocket planes and other strange and new gadgets are discussed as post-war possibilities, that planners of the future are tak¬ ing their cues from the fantas¬ tic movie serials in which Flash Gordon and others like him were so thrillingly featured. If the statement is true that no man can afford to have one more enemy or one less friend then no man can afford to serve on a ration board. It is the last place to make friends, if one follows the rules, according to a member of the local rationing board. It has been a along time since we heard of a cow r being tossed off the railroad track by the cow' catcher on the engine, but every few days a motor car is tossed off the right of way by one of them. The cow's seemed to have learned to stay off the tracks when a train is approach¬ ing—a thing car drivers appear not to have learned. It is the smartest kind of business to buy all the War Bonds one can possibly afford— even to the point of making a sacrifice to do so. Its smart business at the present time to do without the things you want but can get along without to buy bonds. One group of our men in the service is making a drive in the South Pacific, one group is making a drive in Italy and one group will soon be making a drive onto the continent but the war bond dirve is the drive by us at home. This drive must succeed the same as the drive by our boys must succeed. It is up to us at home to make it THE DADE COUNTY TIMES: THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 3, 1944 How Much Do You Know? 1.

There is little doubt that if sufficient encouragement is re¬ ceived from party leaders throughout the country that President Roosevelt will be a candidate for a fourth term.

TOMORROW’S SUN By J. C. WILSON Newspaper Features, Inc. ...... w-w. ... 3 Franklin Delano Roosevelt was 51 years old when he became President. He is 62 years old now. The eleven years in between have done with him w'hat they did with other men of his and the burden of the Presiden- cy has done a little more. The burden has included our great¬ est depression and, not yet com¬ pleted, our greatest war. Some of us have disagreed with Mr. Roosevelt's politics in a few things, some of us have disa¬ greed in many things. Feeling has run high among his oppo¬ nents on Capitol Hill and in the nation at large. Today even these opponents might call a brief truce and concede that he has borne his burden with cheerful¬ ness, with courage and with evi- FRANKLIN D.

Whatever his future may be, he will have a long and notable chapter in our history. We have had one or two Presi¬ dents born in log cabins or shacks. Mr. Roosevelt was born, if not in a palace, at least on a comfortable country estate. His struggle against fate came in the form of an almost disabling ill¬ ness in middle life.
