Judge Tarver’s
Speech Delivered
District Convention
Mr. Chairman and Friends in at
tendance at the Seventh District
Congressional Convention:
During my Congresional service,
I have never before been absent
from one of our district conven
tions I deeply regret that circum
stances over which I have no con
trol make it impossible forme to be
with you today.
In accepting nomination as your
Representative in the 78th Con
gres, I do so in a spiirt of deep
humility and with full realization
of the responsibilities of the posi
tion. At no time in our national
history, not even at the time when
we were not yet a nation but were
passing through the throes of the
War of the Revolution, have the
welfare, the liberty, the civilization
of the American people been
threatened as they are today. We
are wrestling with would-be mas
ter of the world who recognize no
God, whose hearts are stone, whose
ambitions are cruel and unlimited,
who claim to be supermen, and
who are bent on the enslavement!
of the rest of humanity. To lose in
such a struggle would mean the
destruction of civilization as we
have known it for at least the next
thousand years.
We shall not lose; but to say that
is not to discount the terrible
struggle that lies ahead, nor to
predict early victory. Neither is it
to predict victory until we have as
a people realized fully the nature
and extent of the sacrifices we
shall have to endure. We are fight
ing against nations whose men for
years have been trained for war,
whose workers in industry work
twelve to fourteen hours a day for
little or no wages beyond enough
to supply a bare livelihood, whose
industries and whose agriculture
are in part being carried on by
slaves whom they have captured
and coerced, who have laid up for
many years military supplies and
materials against this day. We are
a peace-loving people, we have not
been studying war, we have plenty ,
of manpower that in the main has !
yet to be trained, with an indus
trial production for war which is
being kept going by men and worn- j
en who in many instances are be- |
ing paid wages far beyond the
ability of the government to con
tinue paying them for a long per
iod of time, and who in some war
industries are now on strike be
cause of real or fancied griev
ances, workers who must have
time and a half for overtime if
they work more than eight hours
a day or forty hours a week, even
though in many thousands of cases
they have been deferred from milL
ary service because they are en
gaged in vital war work. We are
sending our workers from the
farms into these highly-paid in
dustries, to let part of our crops
rot in the field for want of farm
labor. Our stomachs are full, our
backs are well-clad, the profits of
our industries in war work are
huge.
We realize that are at war,
of course. The mothers and fath
ers of the millions of boys either
in the service or who are going in
know we are at work. Most of their
sons are in this country now, but
they will not say here if we are to
win this war; and while we send
them to the scattered battlefronts
of the world, to die in the Solo
mons, or in Egypt or India or Chi
na or Iran, we are not making the
sacrifice that we have called upon
them to make, we are not fighting
on the home front as they are and
will be fighting in the field.
We have spent $230,000,000,000 in
three years. We contemplate spend
ing $90,000,000,000 this coming
year. Where are we going to get
the money? The people are dis
tressed over a tax bill which at
most will raise about $25,000,000,000.
That is only a drop in the bucket.
How long will we be able to issue
bonds and print money and carry
on this hugh scale of expendi
ture? -
There can be but one answer.
We must cut down our national
war bill. We must cut it down with
out stopping a single machine in a
single factory, without eliminating
a smgle worker from war employ
ment, without reducing our pro
duction of food and fibre from
American farms. How can we do
that?
We can do that by pa; ing war
workers what we paid them in
peace times; by stopping the pay
ment of fantastic amounts to War
workers in some cases are several
times as much -as they ever made
in their lives; by having everybody
tighten his belt and work for less,
if necessary, rather than insist on
more: by cutting profits on war
contracts to the bone; by every
body working as long as he can
rather than trying to work the

“This is a project worthy of emu

and we again hail the patriots of
Summerville for blazing a trail in

Businessmen Let's talk about
death! Let's not dodge the issue
let's face facts. A lot of good

IF YOU FAIL
WE’RE talking facts, Iwl E
remember! Such —' -
as the fact that steel for _
every tank, ship, and Ilf I
gun must be made of WMW ■ ■ I I■ ■ f
50% scrap. And the ■ ■ Isa b WI b I
terrible fact that Amer
ica’s mills are starving
for this scrap —without
enough on hand for even 30 days of business, factory, office or store
more production! .. . for every single bit of scrap.
Which puts it up to you! And when you see the stockpile
grow —for the mills to take when
Monday starts the big scrap metal it’s needed —be glad that you’ve
drive. And you, as a businessman, done your part...that your work
have a double job to do. Clean out may have saved some boy from a

t. School Children
> Bringing in Scrap
Citizens of Cattooga County, do
’ you realize how much your school
. children are doing in this all out
r effort we are making to win the
war? Many of you no doubt have
been visited by the children at some
time during the past week begging
for any kind of scrap you might
have that would help in any way to
give much needed suplies to our
boys on the front. Most of you
have met these youngsters with a
smile and given them everything
vou have. When you did you helped
in more ways than one. First of all
you helped your Country, secondly
you got rid of a bunch of scrap
that you did not need, and last but
not least in giving your scrap to
these boys and girls you helped
them to help their Country by de
veloping them into the citizens of
tomorrow.
So far in the drives that the chil
dren have made they personally
have not received a penny for the
scrap that they have turned in. We
hope and feel that they will con
tinue in this same patriotic manner
to serve their country.
Because so many of the schools
have been out for cotton picking
only a few of them have really
gotten out and worked their com
munities as we feel sure they will
when their schools open next week.
To those of you who have not turn
ed in your scrap won’t you please
go to the door with a smile for that
boy or girl who is calling on you
and let him help you get up the
scrap around your place? If no one
calls on you and you have scrap
to turn in call in your neighbors
child and he will be glad to help.
Uncle Sam needs every bit of scrap
you can find.
Some of the schools in the county
who have been working so faith
fully deserve praise for what they
have done. Last week the Summer- j
ville Grammar School Children put i
on a special drive for scrap with (
Mrs. Dorothy L. Henderson in
charge of the drive up town and
Mrs. Graves Myers in charge of
the South Summerville School. The j
results were as follows: Summerville |
Gramar School, 9.100 lbs. iron, 2,-
154 lbs. tin, and 240 lbs. rubber;
South Summervile School, 994 lbs.
tin. and 918 lbs. iron. Miss Maude
Sewel and her seventh grade de
serve special mention for the 3,300 I
pounds of iron they collected while ;
competing with the other grades.
T bey went over the top. Mrs. Hen
derson and Mrs. Myers also deserve
'Hir praise for the splendid way
they worked with both teachers and
children in collecting this large
amount of scrap.
The Berryton School has been ;
busy too. Under the leadership of 1
their principal. Mrs. Neal, these 1
children collected approximately11- 1
700 pounds of iron and 1,100 pounds
of tin. i 1
With this as a beginning let’s !
get busy and go over tne top with 1
our children in this drive.

Gore Scrap Metal
Drive Increasing
The Gore P.-T. A. is sponsoring
a drive for scrap metal in Gore
Consolidated School District and is
asking that all patrons and friends
of the school let their metal go
through this channel. If you have
any amount of metal and want to
sell it, they will pay you the market
price. If you want to donate it—
that much the better.
If you are passing and can bring
your scrap to the school, all right
—if not a truck will call for it.
There will be someone there to
weigh what is brought Saturday,
October 17, and the week follow
ing, but Tuesday, October 20 has
been designated as Scrap Day at
Gore. The day to pile it up.
What do we want? Why don’t
be a sap!
We want scrap metal to whip the
Jap.
We want scrap metal to make
a jeep,
We want to make old Hitler leap.
We want old ploughs, we want
old hoes,
We want scrap metal, goodness
knows,
Bring anything you think will do.
An old teakettle, or a cracked
wash pot
May crack Mussolini on the knot.
An old tin tub or old bedsprings.
Old garden fence and worn out
things,
Old car fenders and old car doors.
Old rusty things under the floors,
An old moving machine that does
nothing but skip
Will help to make a battle ship.
