Stoll Field Bond Sales Total
$30,000 In Fifth War Loan
Patriotic War Songs
Victory Bond rally held on
At
Stoll field Friday night, approximately $30,000 In bonds were sold.
Many articles, contributed by merchants of Lexington, were auctioned in an attempt to speed up
the fifth war loan.
The exact amount of sales for
the evening has not yet been computed as the sales were for both
cash and pledges. The $30,000 sold
at the auction brought the total
thus far in the drive to $575,000.
About $8,000,000 more in bonds
must be purchased by July 8 if the
quota is to be filled.
Featured on the program before
the auction was the American Legion Man o' War post victory band
and a' pageant depicting the history
of American patriotic and war
songs, presented by the children
from the city parks, under the direction of Miss Anna Pherigo, city
recreation director. Musical ac
companiment for the pageant was
furnished by the victory band and
a quartet from the Central Christian church. Dr. C. L. Pyatt, dean
of the College of the Bible, Tran
gylvania, was the reader for the
pageant.
Bob Cox was master of ceremonies, and Jimmy Young acted
as auctioneer.
Mr. E. S. Dabney, campaign
chairman, pointed out in a brief
address that the residents of Lex
ington and Fayette county must
buy more bonds of $100 or more If
the drive is to be a success.
The rally was under the auspices
of the Lexington Junior Chamber
of Commerce, headed by Edmund

The IFischer Bowl
By Billie Fiacber
We've been wondering for a long
time about some of the oddities on
our beloved, consecrated campus.
But, not wanting to puncture the
superciliousness of several members
of our exalted faculty, we will men
tion only the puzzling architecture.
Have you ever noticed that there
are several University buildings
up
which have doorways half-wa- y
the sides and no stefc? After probing the deep channels of our minds,
the only conclusion at which we
could arrive was that the architects
feared the coming of floods. But not
supplying the doorways with steps,
there would be no possibility of the
steps getting wet; therefore, no one
could slip and hurt himself.

I thought

By Bob Feiring
Hi kids, this is your new gossip
column writer telling you to watch
your step because infection (scandal
to you) starts when you dont.
Early last week Mssrs. Shannon,
McCune, and Shorts were telling
their roommates that they were
going to get married Saturday night
at Frankfort. Of course none of us
believed them but your watchful
eye reporter spied Jess and Mary
Margaret Riebold in that beautiful
and scenic place where more than
education in the field of flowers is
learned. Don't hold out on us kids.
One of the best deals around the
campus is the "Brooklyn Bums"
and Becky's car. The only trouble
is that there are six of them and
only one of her. Come on girls,
can't you help the situation? There
are supposed to be five girls for
every man.
Funniest story of the week: When
coeds found out the ages of some
of the new football players.
I don't know which was worse:
the guy falling asleep or the gal
waking him up. Anyway, Sue
Stultz, didn't you know that Roger
has been working overtime trying

The two misplaced characters of
the week are Pat Clarke, and Jack
(Dead Eye) Parkinson. Both were
in the War Bond Rally on Stoll
Field. Jack played the part of a
flutest in the revolution and Pat
the Statue of Liberty. My, what
will people think you all are, angels? No kiddin, they played their
parts well.
Every time I look around there's
a shortage of women. Sunday, when
a bunch of men went swimming at
ye old river, there weren't enough
girls, only three to be exact. They
couldn't find any more. Crawl out
of your holes and be seen, girls.

ourselves grown-up- s

But then we found ourselves falling in love with men who were ten

we discovered that we could not win

would indicate profound concern for
the welfare of the farmer. Our own welfare
is intimately and Inextricably bound up with
his. Agriculture is Kentucky's basle industry. Agriculture will be Kentucky's basis
industry as far as anyone can see into the
future. The Louisville community will not
flourish, and neither will Ths Couriis-Journa- l,
if the basic industry of the state
languishes if the farmer is put upon again
as he was for years following the other war.
We dont think the point needs to be labored.
We could not conceivably be so dumb as
deliberately to cultivate the
and
oppose the honest and legitimate aspirations
of the people who stand at the very source
of everything we hope for, for this state,
for this eommunity and for ourselves.
In the second place, we think the record
speaks on this point. We are not going
boastfully to list here all of the enterprises
In which this newspaper has engaged and
to which it has devoted time, effort and
money for the well-beiof the Kentucky
farmer as he has conceived it and as we
jhave conceived
It is enough to remark
Sn passing that the first important public
(service undertaken by the late Judge Robirt
W. BInqham, after he became publisher of
and The Louisville
Thi Courier-Journ- al
jTimes, was in behalf of the tobacco farmers
of this state, ground down by the postwar
.deflation of 1921. Judge Binoram spared
absolutely nothing in that cause, and his
'deep and understanding sympathy with the
farmer left an impress on the policy of
Tbi Courier --Journal which is still there
and will always be there.
We think that most Kentucky farmers are
aware of this. If there is bias in this office,
it is bias on the farmer's side, growing out
of knowledge of his struggle, knowledge of
the odds he has often faced in the past,
knowledge of his character and common

sense. If there is Ignorance In this office
and we do not pretend to know everything
It is in any case never ignorance born of
failure to try to understand or lack of either
facilities or inclination for first-hastudy.
But we know that it is not Ignorant te be
mindful of the disastrous consequences of
inflation, and we are convinced that it is
ignorant, dangerously ignorant, to wave all
this aside, as the Farm Bureau writer does,
as a preposterous bugaboo. There was nothing at all imaginary about the crash of farm
prices, including tobacco prices, that followed the largely uncontrolled .war boom
before.
We have never pretended that the farmer
has had an easy row to hoe in this war.
His difficulties and exasperations have been
many, and his production record, in spite
of them all, has been magnificent. Nevertheless, it would be absurd to pretend that
on the whole he has fared badly under price
'
control. One of the charts reproduced with
this editorial shows where his income stands
it has about trebled since 1939 and let us
not forget that, thanks to price control,
there has been no such Increase In the cost
of things he has had to buy. The other
chart is a grim reminder of what happened to farm income before and, as late
as 1939, farmers were still suffering the
consequences.
Ths Courier -- Journal is not unaware of
the many Important community services of
the Farm Bureau, especially those of the
Kentucky Farm Bureau Federation, which
we think has contributed much of value to
farming in Kentucky. But we are not unaware, either, that the national leadership
of the bureau follows a policy of resisting
farm price control and of attempting to hamstring it at every turn. It is exactly the
policy of the national labor union leadership, which, though relatively quiet on the
subject at the moment, is undoubtedly out
to hatchet wage control at the first favorable
opportunity.
We think the policy in each

this elaborate avoidance of the merits of the

plain truths of economics and of history by
endeavoring to make the reader believe that
The Courhs-- J ournal, in presenting these

the Kentucky farmer and an abysmal ignorance of his problems? The allegation It, of

ease Is woefully, almost criminally, shortsighted, perilous to the real interests of both
worker and farmer, and we have repeatedly
said so.
We shall have to keep on saying so. We
could not in good conscience do anything
else, Just for the dubious advantage of
enjoying the favor of the Farm Bureau

We shall, of course, continue to be misrepresented and called names by people

are Indeed poisonous:
things and should not be allowed
to gallop about our campus like so
many wild horses. The rumor's
greatest medium of transfer is
the mouth I Biologically speaking,
the mouth is a very ordinary
facial decoration but with the
proper frequency the radio station
can give any young
rumor its first big broadcast.
There are two great figures in
history who have much toward
fighting the evils of the rumor. The
first is the Sphinx who probably
has had a lot of say about the activities of a few noted shieks, the
heat of the desert, and numerous
sundry things, but has been willing
to sacrifice its means of
for the sake of suppressing
the rumor.
The next is the clam, whose efforts have made it the international symbol of silence.
When you find your mouth open
in the book store, with a rumor
about to crawl out, grab anything
around handy and seal the opening.

this same procedure.) If
