We Have Been
Honorably Discharged
For the past 16 months, during an emergency
in which we felt it was our patriotic duty to
help, we have served the Pampa Army Air Field,
doing all dry cleaning and laundry for the Cadet
Detachment.
During that time, due to the tremendous
amount of work we were having to do for our
training airmen and because of the labor situa-
tion, we have not been able to serve our custo-
mers in the manner they were accustomed to and
which is our policy to give.
Now that we have received an honorable dis-
charge, we are in position to devote our entire
time and facilities of our enlarged plant to .our
civilian friends of Shamrock and vicinity.
men
Although we_ were glad to serve our fighting
n during a time when no" other 'dry cleaning
and laundry facilities were available to them, we
are happy that we have been released from the
strained position in which the additional work
placed us.
We sincerely thank our friends and customers
for bearing with us during the emergency and
we are happy to be in position to pledge you the
best possible services permissible—similar to
which you received before Uncle Sam’s fighting
men asked for our assistance.

Veters be on your guard, the evil forces will trick
you. On November 7th, the people of the United States
will elect a leader for the next four years. This leader
will be Roosevelt who heads the Democratic party, or
it will be Dewey who heads the Republican party.
THE OLD JUDGE SAYS.
There is another gang headed by Judas Iscariot
who profess to be “regulars” and they are regulars in
as much as we have had them since the beginning of
time—they have always worn sheep’s clothing but
specialized in trickery and deceit. Two thousand years
ago they counseled among themselves trying to find
fault with Jesus and finally betrayed Him into the
•fj
hands of murderers for twenty pieces of silver.
content and depression. The most fertile moment
American communists ever knew was when a Re-
publican sat in the White House with banks collapsing,
jobs vanishing, business paralized and mfflions hungry
and desperate. President Roosevelt deprived the Reds
of their breeding ground in America when he re-
vived business, by restoring jobs, by safeguarding
banks and their depositors with federal insurance, by
feeding the hungry and desperate.
O
The “regulars” have not advanced one sound
argument for changing leaders at this time. The only
hope they have is to confuse the voters—the devil
has always been the author of confusion.
b
This same type of “regulars” met in Austin last
spring (while honest people were working to win the
war) and counseled and connived as to how they
might disfranchise the people of Texas and put the
reins of the government into the hand of incompetent
men. This gang who would deceive you couldn’t find
anything wrong whereby they could accuse the leader-
ship of the Democratic party so they set about to
create a “bugger” and adorn him with such big eyes,
forked horns and ugly teeth that we would become
confused and forget that we have sons Suffering un-
told misery and dying on foreign battlefields.
Roosevelt and the Democratic party believes in-
dividuals, as well as great nations, must be impelled
by ideals—-ideals that were enunciated by wise men
of old and have been kept alive through persecution
and oppression; supremacy of truth, justice and
peace, the brotherhood of man—these are the prin-
ciples we reaffirm. These are the ideals men have
always lived and died for. Our men are fighting for
these principles today.

"Mary and I were just saying, Judge, how
lucky we are here in America that we have so
many naturalresourcestohelp win the war.”
“That’s right, Jim. When war broke out
we had oil, we had steel, we had food,
lumber, aluminum...practically everything
we needed. There’s one thing we didn’t
have,.. rubber. The enemy had that.”
“But that didn’t bother us for long. Soon
American brains and industry had synthetic
rubber by the tons rolling out of plants. That
filled a critical need... you can’t win a
war without rubber.”
“ I was very much interested the other day
in reading a statement made by a high gov-
ernment official on synthetic rubber. In it he
said ‘ It is fair to regard the rubber manufac-
tured to date as being almost solely the prod-
uct of the beverage distilling industry.’ ”
“He also said that, in his estimation, the
tremendous contribution of distillers’ indus-
trial alcohol to the synthetic rubber program
had not received the recognition which it
deserves.”
“We certainly learned something today,
didn’t we Mary?”

In 1867 a radical wing of the Republican party
pulled this same trick. The people of the south wer?
disfranchised of their rights to held office or even
vote. This movement was headed by a REGULAR,
Thaddues Stevens. Stevens admitted his plan was for
the Negroes to control the South.
Many of our brave soldiers have already paid the
supreme price for this nation and their blood cries
out from the utmost parts of the earth, “stay with
the Commander-In-Chief.” Men on the firing lines
write back, “stay with the Commander-In-Chief and
get this awful war over with as soon as possible.”
Hitler wants a change, the Japanese want a
change, the “regulars” want a change and naturally
the Republicans want a change.
The regulars will tell you another bad thing about
this administration is communism. Most Americans
know communism thrives on poverty, destitution, dis-
Voters do not be deceived. A vote for the “regu-
lars” is a vote for the Republicans and a delay in
winning the war.
Vote l or Roosevelt—the greatest leader since Moses’ time.
