Editorial argues absenteeism stems from parental choices. Urges parents to keep children in class, warns against excusing absences for dances chores or errands. Notes wartime Red Cross drive lag in Mills County and calls for stronger support to aid servicemen.
The column surveys wartime civic topics in Iowa, urging stronger Red Cross donations, discussing extending voting age to 18, and detailing state accounting reforms. It notes farm labor mobilization, canning crop goals for 1943, and incentives to boost wartime food production with ISU extension and AAA cooperation.

The piece also touches on local church events and a curious horse meat advertisement circulating among locals.
