A car proper and otherwise cared for ddimtbemiee record of a car which is not serviced correctly. Here in Highland Park we have a number of automobile agencies which for the duration of the war are concentrating on service. These establishments, staffed in some cases with factoryâ€"trained mechanics, and even more often with men of wide skill, are equipped to help car owners extract the last possible mile of good service from cars. Regular car service is as important to your car‘s life as dental and medical service are to your own health.

But we here at home can do a huge lot toâ€"let the nrem in service know we are thinking of them. Letters from home folks are probably the most cherished by service men, because they'bring.news of the little folksy things that let the absent soldier know what the folks are doing and thinking. These letmfoclnuthe.feelh?thtwar is the job of all of us, but not a lifetime occupation, and that, with the end of the war, the warrior will be once more a cherished member of the circle at the fireside. So take time to write your soldiers, your sailors, your marines. And it is better to write short, cheery letters than long gabby ones. Also, a mess of fudge sent by his best girl means more to a service man than a bushel of manufactured candies. Homeâ€"made sweets are more than just something to eatâ€"they are a part of home. Federal use tax stamps must by law be affixed to your autoâ€" mobile bLFebmary 1. These stamps are on sale at any post office, and can be purchased while you are buying this week‘s quota of deâ€" fense stamps. Remember the dateâ€"February 1. © POLITICAL SKIRMISH G With election for county offices due this spri:? we can expect the campaigning to start any day. It would be fine if this year‘s crop of candidates would canvass their innermost souls, with the thought in mind that only men with the finest of qualifications should ask our vote during wartime. Not only should the candidate withdraw from the race unless his record is excellent, but voters should exercise extreme care before making that much sought "X" before a candiâ€" date‘s name. Office holders of the next several years will have to shoulder a heavy burden of responsibility, and perform their duties as servants of the people as a whole. The PRESS will‘send each Highland Park, Deerfield or Highâ€" wood service man a copy of the paper each week for the duration, if the man‘s kinfolks will send us his name and address. Next to a letter from home, the home town paper helps keep your soldier cheerful and happy. Let us help ; all you do is provide the name. Sugar, one of America‘s diet staples, will be sold on a ration basis beginning February 1. Too bad, of course, but as Walter Winâ€" chell said in his Sunday evening broadcast, "An empty sugar bow! is one thing, and an empty cartridge belt on a soldier is something else". As for the rationing of electricity to provide power for the deâ€" fense industries, well, if we are compelled to go back to kerosene lights and diet of ‘lasses, ground corn and catfish, as our ancestors did, we‘ll still wind up this war with a nation of Americans, able to worship, vote and live as individuals. © HOMETOWN PAPER & USE TAX STAMPS © RATIONING FOR VICTORY There are no days for useless frivols. You who are using irâ€" replaceable tires on an automobile that can‘t be duplicated should give real to every mile your car is driven. For example, you will find stores right here in Highland Park. When you do your buying here you not only cut out needless wasteful use of your atlfi&u,hflywmdvhaexfmwflhqwthm best advantage, right here at home. be sure you exercise thought in your purchasing. Your merchants are subject to the same restricâ€" tions on tires and cars as you are. Do not ask them to make needless deliveries. When you can carry your parcels, do so. If you must reâ€" quest delivery service, be sure one trip covers your requirements. e CAR LONGEVITY Vol. 31 , No. 48 © PROTECT YOURSELE it‘s reod by THE Poeople!

The growth of the Boy Scouts of America has been steady ever since. Each year more boys came within inâ€" fluence of Scoutingâ€" Naturally many boys joined the ever increasing numâ€" ber of young men who had been Scouts, And because they had been Scouts they were better citizens. This number continues to grow until toâ€" day ttn million men and boys repreâ€" sent the circle of direct influence of Scouting. Thus it is that not only are the million and a half active Boy Scouts and Scouters celebrating the thirtyâ€" second birthday of Scouting, but the eight and one half million alumni of Scouting also have a claim in the birthday festivities. For ten million men and boys in America the week, February 6 to 12, is an anniversary. Thirtyâ€"two years ago the Boy Scouts of America was founded. The groups of twelve to fifâ€" teen year olds who rallied to the Scout banner during that first year was small. But each year saw more and more boys being touched by the Scout Oath and Law.
