KG OUT LOUD
I see in the papers where our
governor Bob Kerr ranked third
in a bull auctionsale up in Nebraska
— my opinion is that if it had been
a "bull slinging” operation that he
would have ranked first
It la also reported that he plans
to pay the State of Oklahoma a
visit soon
Another news item that disgust-
ed me was a report where county
draft board members all over the
nation were going to be or had
been given medals for their ser-
vices during the war Perhaps they
deserved medals— but outside of
selecting boys for cannon fodder
what did they do If such men and
women deserve medals what about
the thousands of fathers and moth-
ers who gave sons?
The giving of medals to such
as draft boards monkeys and dogs
for services performed has cheap-
ened those given to men and boys
who earned them on the battle
fields in my opinion
This office like thousands of ot-
her newspaper offices ell over the
country received nicely scented and
beautifully scrolled ' "Awards of
Appreciation” for our small part
in winning the war— we did not de-
serve them anymore than the man

Political Announcement
For Governor — Democrat
ROY J TURNER
who went down under the top of
the ground and dug ore rock oi
the woman and kids who hoed
row of cotton — ’twas our duty and
we all were glad to do our part
whatever it was and didn’t ask or
seek medals or certificates of ap-
preciation A short time ago the Democrats
of the county met in Miami and
in the course of their business lam'
basted the republicans and praised
the democrats who are holding
down government jobs Saturday
the Republicans met and lambasted
the democrats and praised the Re-
publicans — such as the nation of
the United States the Nation that
we are all proud of — we may in
private life list ourselves as either
favoring the Democratic party or
the policies of the Republicans but
with all of our chewing the rag and
beefing about this and that we live
in the finest and best Nation of
the whole world

Feeding the World Affects Us
Diverting millions of tons of
wheat to feed hungry Europe Af-
rica and Asia is not only going to
make our bread a little darker but
it may change our "eggs for break-
fast and chicken for Sunday dinner
menus
The Governments War Food Ord
er No 9 and subsequent amend-
ment will mean lower production of
eggs meat and milk The amount of
protein wheat and mill feed that
may be jised in manufacturing
mixed feeds Is limited
While we may have to skip a
chicken dinner or two we can hope
that it will mean more food for the
unfortunate and starving people of
the world In the meantime remem-
ber it is not the farmers fault nor
the feed dealers— they are the ones
who must make the big adjustment
