President Roosevelt Sunday
night appealed to the United
States of America, as a nation
to turn itself into the “great
aresnal of democracy,’’ and pledg
ed anew that his government
would expand Its aid to Great
Britain.
In a message that was heard
around the world, the President
flatly rejected proposals that the
United States initiate a peace
movement, but promised that
American soldiers would not be
sent to Europe.
He confidently predicted that
the axis powers would lose the
war. The "new order" which
the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo .axis
professes as its objective was de

These Clouds Mean Defense
Clouds arise as North Carolina farmers increase the fertiUty of their fields by treating them with lime. Clouds arise as American soldiers increase their skill through ar'
tillery practice. Both fertile soil and skilled gunners are vital to the Nation’s defense. In 1940 farmers of North Carolina were furnished 230,000 tons of ground agricultural limestone through the AAA grant-of-aid program.
They brought and applied many more thousands of tons of lime through private purchases. In 1939 North Carolina farmers applied 195, 040 tons of lime; in 1938 they
used 144,396 tons according to reports of county farm agents of the State College Extension Service.

Happy New Year!
If we could only be certain that our greeting to our
readers was for a really “Happy New Year!” Death and
taxes can only be taken for granted as impending. A
wish of happiness seems almost unattainable if world
events are to be a symbol of what lies ahead. But we
are not easily discouraged and proceed each year, at the
beginning of January, to hope for joy for others and cour
age for ourselves to meet the responsibilities that the new
year will bring. The present world is in a sorry state to
promise much in the way of happiness for the universe,
and consequently there isn’t such a pretty picture pre
dicted for the world of 1941. But with its uncertainties
and doubts, we will be fair and give it a chance to prove
itself.
Besides us are predictions for such busihess increase
there will be a boom year ahead. Another says we’ve
never seen a depression until we suffer the one that lies
ahead in ’41. After all, the reason we shall remember
the old year is due to the unexpected that it held, as that
is what stamps it on our minds. So will the new year
have unpredictable events popping up for us as reasons
to remember its twelve months as outstanding on our
life’s calendar. W e hope that happiness is included there
in!
W h y should we not look forward to prosperity and
progress and perhaps, peace? W e have been visited with
these in centuries past, and to continue to pray for them
in 1941 is not foolhardy. So, confidentally we say it to
you our iriends, to your relatives ana tneir iriends, to alT
of those 130,000,000 souls who make up this land, and to
those who are in other lands, “H A P P Y N E W Y E A R .”
"THUMBS UP"!
the side of the people who fight
for their threatened existence
. . . God up to now has placed
the stamp of approval on our
battle. He will not forsake us
In the future If we do our duty
with courage and faith.”

planes—more of overyUiing. This
can only be accomplished if we
dJiscard the notion of business as
ujual.’ This job cannot be done
^lerely by superimposing on the
[Istlng productive facilities the
Sdded requirements for defense.”
^Wartime Munitions
Mr. Roosevelt coupled his call
for virtunl waiUine muultluiib
production with the pledge of
multiplying assistance for Brit
ain and a stern arraignment of
what he defined as the Axis
philosophy of government.
“The Axis," he charged, “not
merely admits but the Axis pro
claims that there can be no ulti
mate peace between their philo
sophy of government and our
philosophy of government.”
The president’s talk touched
on ten major points. In effect,
they were:1—"Never before since James-
• town and-Plymouth P.ock has our
American civilization been in
such danger as now.”
2—^Greatly accelerated muni
tions production was imperative,
even at the sacrifice of luxury
goods and non-essentials.--^3—A-gioady-Jiow-of--i4icrr.ri.slng
aid would continue to Britain,
as a vital part of the U. S. de
fense program, regardless of
"threats” from “dictators.”
4—“Our national policy is not
directed toward war. Its sole
purpose Is to keep war away from
our country and our people,” by
helping make possible British
v'i»fiiry. Tnlk nf plans for a nre.s-
of caustic denunciation of Pres
ident Roosevelt’s fireside talk on
helping the British.
The explosive editorials were
timed to coincide with two New
Year’s messages from the fueh
rer-one to the soldiers and the
other to all the Nazi party mem
bers—and with others from Hit
ler’s chief lieutenants.Prepare Stroke
The fuehrer’s New _Yea^s
promise’ and angry Nazi com
ment denouncing President
Roosevelt’.s Sunday speech coin
cided with accumulating evid
ence that German strokes may
be in preparation in such wide
ly separated regions as the Far
East, the Mditerranean and the
Balkans—plus the ever present
threat of invasion of Britain it
self and Increasing attacks on
Britain’s vital sea lanes.
Prospect appeared that these
preparations would be Intensl-
fled by Mr. Roosevelt’s frank
pledge that the United States
would ' supply Bril'aih' with
mounting stores of the weapons
of war—guns, ships and planes.
Mr. Roosevelt’s address has
not yet been printed in Ger
many. But after 24 hours’ study
of the text by the “highest au-
“thoritiea" the oifiClai'13NB~news
agency was permitted to say that
it was of the highest importance.
Excerpts
Here are excerpts from the
message of Hitler and his chief lieutenants:
Hitler — (To the fighting
forces): “1941 will bring com
pletion of the greatest victory
cnt-day American expeditionary
force Is an "untruth.
5—There would be no appease
ment and no American efforts,
under present circumstances, to
bring about a "negotiated peace.”
Axis Won’t Win
6—“'British . . . strength Is
growing . . . I believe that the
Axis powers are not going to win
this war.”7—“Military necessities” will
dictate the volume of future aid
to Britain—an assertain some
thought presaged upward revision of the present 50-50 for
mula.
8—^‘‘The nation expects oiir de
fense industries to continue
operation without interruption
by .'jtrlkes or lockouts, with man
agement and worker adjusting
any difference by voluntary or
Icfial means.”
9—"Evil forces ... are already
within our own gates” seeking
to foment dissension sometimes
with the unwitting help of Amer
ican citizens.
10—The redoubled defense ef
fort would see no governmental
failure to "protect the economic
well-being ot all citizens.”
HITLER SAYS
NAZIS TO WIN
Adolf Hitler promised his
righting men and the people of
the Reich that 1941 will bring
them total victory and, on a
nod from his government, the
erman press released a torrent
4k-
ward with God for Germany.'”
Grand Admiral Raeder:—(To
the navy): “Carry on with all
power and the highest courage
to the final victory, in steadfast
belief in the future of great Ger
many!”
Goebbels Talks
Propaganda Minister Goeb •
bels:—(To the nation): "Schus-
chnigg boasted against the Reich
two months before he was chas
ed out of the Vienna chancel
lery . . . Benes had his trunk
packed even while he_ declared
he had a* plan'up'his sleeve to
save the (C!zech) situation . . .
Polish statesmen still dreamed
of victory before the gates of
Berlin while the German guns
fired Warsaw . . . Two months
before the French collapse Rny-
naud was ... explaining solemn
ly how Germany would be di
vided . . . Does Mister ChurchiU
follow a different method today?
... He speaks of the peace con
ditions he would lay before the
Reich when the war Is won, while
actually the British Isle is bleed
ing from all its arteries . . .
'Twas always this . . .”

Hitler—(To the National So

Italy intend to conquer the
world! . . . In reality the wovld
conquerors already existing need
wars to reap higher Interest on
their capital. These . . . are
precisely those states which de
clared war on Germany . . . In
1941 the German army, navy and

vastly and better armd. Their
blows will demolish the last

FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 1941 THE (MOCKSVILLE, N. C.) ENTERPRISE
Widowed by Jap "Incident”
Arriving at San Francisco en route to Kentwood, La
are Mrs. Chiyo Kent and son, Peter, aged 3. Her liusband
was killed while piloting a civilian passenger plane on the
Hong Kong-Kungming run. According to reports, five
Japanese planes machine-gunned his plane, which had
landed to give aid in a bombed village. Nine, including Kent, the only American in the group, were killed.
Highlights Of The
Sunday School Lesson
The Sunday school lesson for, portatlon to the crippled, to read
Jmnoary 5 is “Jesus and Human
Affliction.”—Luke 13:1-5; 10-17.
Is the general public so lack
ing In proportioned judgment, In
primary imagination and In or
dinary human sympathy ,that it
can look upon this spectacle of
a world’s wounds and woe in
other than a mood of intense
concern and compassion? Even
the menace to our peace does
not stir most or us.
People generally have not fac
ed up to the real nature of the
suffering that has descended
upon mankind. We were tem
porarily aroused by the bomb
ings of London, by the collapse
of France and the little nations
of Euiope,'the lupe of’Nan
king, by the U-boat sinkings of
passenger ships, by the heroic
resistance of Finland, and by
the sinister conferences of Eu
rope’s great powers. But interest
soon lagged, as these tragedies
1 became commonplace. They lost
tl^ir value as new sensations.
I So, “On with the dance!”
In the synagogue which Jesus
attended^ that Sabbath—for He
went regularly to church, even
when the preaching was ..poor
and the congregation was un-
I congenial—there was a poor, bent
woman who had been a conflrm-
^ed Invalid for 18 years. She was
lust one of the commonplace
'procession of physical sufferers
to be found everywhere and al
ways. Her neighbors took her
illness heedlessly.
- - B u t J e s n s '^ id h o t; lie W f
looked upon suffering without an
impulse to heal. That was His
nature, and the nature of the
Father whom He represented.
The hallmark of all God’s loyal
children is compassion. We are
recreant to tlie Family tradition
and character If we are not
to the blind, to write to the be-
reaved-these are all primary
Christian duties.
In the case of the poor woman
In the synagogue (How the of-
flicted naturally turn to reli
gion for comfort!), Jesus did not
wait for her to ask His help.
When He saw her pitiable, de
formed body, and her pain-
etched face. He volunteered
help. Her need was call enough.
Ho laid His hand upon the suf
ferer and bade Iier be whole and
strong again.
At once the bent back straight
ened, and all the racking weak
ness that chronically tore her
body disappeared, and she stood
upright and—to the scandal of
tliF'congregatTM—began To cry
aloud her thanks to God. All
that the officials of the synago
gue got out of the dramatic in
cident was a quibble about Sab
bath observance!
Tomorrow’s Great llealingr
In the rotunda of John Hop
kins Hospital, Baltimore, stands
a heroic marble replica of Thor-
waldsen’s statue of the Christ,
helpers of the suffering,
theer—tlie—в1ект—
P L A Y E R C Ò A C H
with outstretched arms' saying
Come unto Me.” It Is more
impressive than the original
which stands in a Copenhagen
church. The statue has been a
comfort to uncounted visitors to
the house of healing. It sym
bolizes the great truth that, be
hind all the scientific skill of
the physicians, and all the minis
try of the nurses, stands the
figure, the example and the
spiitt of the“ Compassionate
Christ.
Afresii the old truth comes
home to us that for the world’s
great healing of tomorrow, with
unimaginable affliction of bodies

moving plctm-e of how the Christ
spirit dominates China’s rulers
today. A Canadian guest had
been invited to dinner with Gen
eralissimo and Madame Chlang
Kai Shek. A fierce air raid oc
curred just before dinner, but
no mention was made of it at
the meal. Later, the guest was
asked to remain for family pray
ers. He records:
“I never expect to hear such
a prayer again in all my life
The General began wltli a sim
ple expression of thanks for
their personal safety. Then he
added thanks for the courage
of the nation under fire. Then
he prayed for strength for the
men in the field and along the
firing lines; he prayed for
strength for himself. But the
most amazing thing in his pray
er was a plea that God would
help him and lielp China not
to hate the Japanese people. He
prayed for the Japanese Christ
ians, and all the suffering mul
titudes of Japan whose impov
erishment was making the war
on China possible. He prayed
for th¥ people who were bombed,
for forgiveness for those who
dropped the bombs."
AU of us, state.smen and ordi
nary folk, must rise to this level
if we are to see the wounded
world made whole again. We can
never realize the ideal of “All
ye are brethren” unless we first
know that “One Is your Master,
even Christ.” He Is the Great
Physician, alone adequate for
the great healing that awaits.

SUMMARY OF WAR HEWS
President Roosevelt submits a rccord peacetime bud
get to Congress. It totals nearly 17 Mi billion dollars, of
which 11 billion is for defense. An uddilioiiul 10 billion
is estimated for help to other democracies.
The President made it clear that the amount sought
was only the beginnuig and nobody knows the final cost.
At the same time the President predicted the largest na
tional income on record. Increased taxes are a certainty.
Last Monday in his message on the “state of the
nation” to Congress the President called for more aid to
the allies and Congress has already begun whipping into
shape the President’s plan to loan or lease war materials to Great Britian, China and Greece.
German newspapers assailed President’s Roosevelt’s Monday speech for “unscrupulousness and untruthfulness,” repeating that Britian is doomed and American aid
will come-too-late..----------------------

Farm Questions
Are Answered
Question: What Is the value of
phosphate as a fertilizing ma
terial?
Answer: Phosphates are es
sential In the production of
healthy, vigorous plants. Animals
require phosphaite as well as cal
cium in the building of strong
and healthy bone structures. In
the production of plants, there
fore, State College animal hus
bandmen say that it becomes of
great Importance ihat plants re
ceive the required phosphate so
that, in turn, animals may re
ceive their requirement through
their diet, which consists of
plants.
Question: What equipment is
needed In canning pork?
Answer: In a new publication
on this subject, Mrs. Cornelia
C. Morris, Extension economist in
food conservation and market
ing, says that a pressure canner
is very necessary In canning
meats. Other methods are not
safe. Meats require a hlnh (tem
perature to Insure sterilization,
and it Is almost Impossible to
get this high temperature with
out steam under pressure. The
new publication mentioned Is

partment at State College has
listed a few advantages of farm
Inventories, as follows: It is nec
essary to determine accurate
farm Income. It shows the total
Investment in farm business. It
gives a valuable list In case of

Question: How much seed bed
should be provided for planting
10 acres of tobacco?
—^Answep:— About—100— square
yards of seed bed Is usually re
quired for each two acres of to
bacco to be planted. However,
due to the danger from blue
mold, most growers have been
seeding about one and one-half
times as much bed space as they
normaUy require In order to be
sure of an adequate supply of
plants. One level teaspoonful of
seed. If evenly sown over the
bed, will usually be sufficient
to plant each 100 square yards of
bed space.

Question: What weight eggs
are best for hatching purposes?
Answer: Poultry specialists of
the State College Extension
Service recommend that hatch
ing eggs weigh 24 ounces per
dozen. In addition, .the eggs
should be clean, weU-formed
fresh, of good shell texture, and
of a color conforming to the
requirements of the breed,

sheUed, or those that have ridges
around them should be put aside
for- home - consumption and

At this time of the year it is wise
to collect eggs for hatching two
or three times a day to prevent

_______________Davie County. Strictly Payable In Advance.___________
Bntered at the Post Ofrice at Mocksville, N. C., as Second-Class
Matter Under Act of Congress of March 8, 1879.
MEMBER OF N. C. PRESS ASSOCIATION
It’s Up To Us
Davie’s 1940 population figuves, seen on the front
page of this issue, clearly show that the county has not
grown as rapidly during the last 10 years as the average
in the state. In fact, the growth is only about one foui-th
the average. The Mocksville growth is about half the
state average.
There are less people on Davie farms now than there
was ten years ago. This fact is in keeping with the trend.
While it is lamentable that young people do not stay on
the farm as they once did, it is true that farming is now
much more efficient than it was. There arc- more trac
tors, more labor-savings devices and less need of manual
labor.£>avie is rapidly promoting a dairying industry and
the total farm income now is considerably larger than it
was ten years ago. The county has been electrified and
farm life is much more comfortable than it was during
the past decade. Davie has the facilities to make farm
ing a more profitable business and more attractive to
the trained youth.
Farm life with its present advantages of mechanized
equipment is the sweetest existence on earth. Last year
this newspaper ran a series of articles on prominent farm
families which showed what opportunities now lie on the
farm for those who desire to take advantage of the chance.
It beats town life all hollow, both in cash income and
that dearer possession— one’s own boss.
It is increasingly evident every day that industry in
this country is becoming more decentrálized— moving to
the smaller places. The national defense program is fur
ther emphasizing this fact.
Mocksville and environs needs more payrolls, as every
body knows. The fullest cooperation is needed by all
citizens in a constant search for small businesses that
would do well here. One of the reasons this newspaper
supported the water and sewer extension projects was to
afford a basic necessity for industry. Many of our people
now must drive each day to other larger towns to find
profitable public employment.
The census figures plainly show our needs and op
portunities. Communities, like individuals, do not stand
still. They either go forward or backward. This news
paper intends to help with all its might to go foraard.
V
More Screen Plantings
Needed Around Farm
Make all plants serve a pur
pose, says John H. Harris, Ex
tension landscape specialist, and
Ije adds, “very few farm people
have sufficient screen plaatlnga."
He names, the chief uses of
plants as follows: To decorate
the house, Inframement, shade,
border and to screen unsightly
building and equipment.
“Border' Slid screen plantings
require very little pruning,” Har
ris stated. “They should be al
lowed to grow large and as na
tural as possible. Avoid mixing
plants up too' much; use several
plants together for maximum ef
fect In foliage or flowers.”
The landscape specialist rec
ommends native plants for bor
ders and screening. “With so
many native plants available,
and with the ease ul rooting
common shrubs, there is Uttle
excuse for lack of screen plant
ing,” Harris declared.
He lists the following native
plants which are suitable for
screen plantings around the farm
(in some cases local names are
given the same shrub to help in
identifying It): Red bud (Judas
—tree), azalea, doffwood, choke-
berry, beautyberry (French mul
berry) , sweet shrub (sweet Bet
sy), white fringe (grandfather’s
beard and white ash). Hawthorn,
wlnterberry, crab apple, plum,
sumac, elderberry, bay. Ink-
berry (gallberry), cedar, moun
tain laurel (mountain ivy), wax
myrtle (sweet myrtle), rhodo
dendron, Hemlock (spruce), sum
mer sweet, yaupon holly, and
Jersey tea.
Harris also recommends privet
hedge because of its rapid grow
th and dense foliage. The privet
edge should be cut once or twice
a year, permitting it to stay in
formal in outline, rather than
smooth and formal.
REA TO BUILD
POWER LINE
The Davie Mutual REA of
Mocksville, today began the con
struction ot an eleven-mile pow
er line in Buck Shoal Township
in Yadkin County.
The new lino enters the county
from north Iredell by way of the
Shiloah Church community. It
will serve, at the present time
28 families. It has been named
“The Crater Line” in honor of
E. R. Crater who was largely re
sponsible for bringing it Into the
county.
It is estimated that woric will
be completed within the next
90 days.
1940 VERSION
Land Revaluation
Begins In Yadkin
Revaluation of Yadkin Coun
ty land, as recently ordered by
the Board of County Commis
sioners, began Monday morning.
Methods being used are identical
with those being practiced in
adjoining counties, it is under
stood.
—The- work—began- -in—Liberty
township, and although workers
state they are “off to a good
start,” no estimate has been
made as to when it will be com
pleted.' ............................
Assessors are Thomas L. Hard
ing, W. T. Fletcher, and Will
Holcomb, appointed In December
fey the Board of Commissioners.
Members of the board state
It is their hope that little In
crease will come from farms in the rural sections, but that it
has been called to their atceii-
tlon that there are several In
stances In the county where tho
present valuation is entirely out
of line with actual values. In
the towns and adjacent terri
tories. they point out, buildings
valued at approximately $2,000,-
000.00 have been erected ai
have not been appraised by a
board of assessors.
Appraisors are using a form
that will enable them In record
ing complete data relating to
property, including total land,
cropland, timber and coit of
buildings.
The commissioners state they
are anxious to have the coopera
tion of every property owner in
the county In their effort to
make a quick and equitable re
valuation of property.
SEWING HINTS
When working buttonholes In
a woolen fabric, cut the but
tonhole then sew around it,
about 1/lG uI an incii from the
edge, with a short stitch on your
sewing machine. This keeps the
ciotii from stretching and also
the threads from ravelling. A
subscriber suggests that in order
to get away from the bump
where you fasten the edges ot
elastic together, place the edges
together without lapping. Put
a piece of muslin, on either side
of the elastic and stitch back
and forth across tho joining
muslin in order to hold.

Farm Questions
Are Answered
Question: When should shrubs
be pruned?
Answer: A small amount of
pruning can be done on flow
ering shrubs at any time. Ever
greens should be pruned several
times during the summer, rt-
moving only a small amount of
growth at any one time, if the
shrub has been neglected for
years and needs a severe “cut
ting back” to be ,put back in
shape, John H. Harris, Exten
sion landscape specialist of N.
C. State College, says this should
be done in late winter or early
spring before growth starts
Where the plant must be severe
ly pruned, it is better to re
duce the plant to half the de
sired size the first year and
complete the pruning operation
the following year.

North Carolina is playing its part in National defense
— ^tractors and terracing machines for agricultural defense
and Army tanks for military defense. For the past six
years the State College Extension Service has organized
and directed Soil Conservation Associations which operate
heavy equipment to terrace land and control equipment.
Farmers who terracc their land earn soil-building pay
ments through the AAA program. Thus, while the soldiers
operating the tank are practicing maneuvers which
strengthen the Nation’s armed defense, Tar Heel farmers
are carrying on soil defense work by terracing more than
70,000 acres of land every year.

Good Fense Should Last
Farmer 7 To 12 Years
Good wire, properly strung
between strong, well-braced posts
should make a farm fence last
from 7 to 12 years, says H. M.
Ellis, Extension agricultural en
gineer of N. C. State College.
There should be a good coating
of galvanizing or zinc on the
wire to protect It against the
elements, he says.
"Some copper in the wire will
add still more years of service
to the fence,” Ellis stated. "The
copper content should not run
less than 2/10 of 1 percent,
which is usually spoken of as
‘20 point’ copper. The quality
of tile wire is ithe main consi
deration in building fences, and
it isn’t good economy to buy
cheap wire.”
Ellis also says that for a good
long-lasting fence the quality of
the posts and the workmanship
In eiectiiig the fence must be ot
the best. The posts must be big
enough, properly spaced, well
planted, and well braced. If

ground is one of the big anti-aircraft guns landed in
Greece by the British, one of the powerful reasons for the
successful counter-offensive by the valiant Greeks.
Two Varieties of Air Defcaise
durable wood Is not available,
soft timber may be treated with
creosote or otherwise to make
the posts last as long as the
wire.
“It is wise,” the specialist de
clared, “to build your fence on
paper before you start cutting
posts and buying wire. North
Carolina farmers spent thou
sands of dollars every year main
taining fences that are not es
sential; fences 'that are of the
wrong type to keep animals in
or out; ^nd fences that are not
worth maintaining because of
poor material or poor workman
ship."
In conclusion, ElILs said,
“Penolng is an important item
of farni management. It pro
tects property and reduces losses
of both crops and livestock. A
good fence is also an asset in
giving a neat appearance and
indicating that the farm owner
is progressive.” '
Miss Etchison
America and North Carolina rely on airplanes for
National defense and soil defense. Heavily armed planes
such as the giant ioiir-motorert “flying fortress” at top
are frequently seen flying over the State. They help pro
vide National del'ense. Thousands of North Carolina farm
ers, like tlie two pictured beside the truck, have been
supplied aerial photographs of their farms, similar to the
one shown here. The Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istration has made aerial photos of about 40,397 of the
48,740 square miles of agricultural land in North Carolina.
Aerial photography in comiection with the AAA farm pro
gram was started in the State in 1936 and in 1940 per
formance in the program was checked through aerial
photos in 86 counties. As a part of thehr educational
work, county farm agents of the State College Service show
farmers how to use the aerial photographs to check their
compliance with the program.
There’s Specie Of Pine
For Every Area In State
Choosing the kind of trees to
be used in making a forest plant
ing is much like selecting a piece
of farm machinery, says R. W.
Graeber, Extension forester of N.
C. State College. A lot depends
upon the kind and condition of
the soil, und the purpose for
which it will be used.
Trees vary m growth habits
according to soil, climate, mois
ture, and degree of fertility. For
instance, the white pine does
best in the mountains, the long-
leaf pine in the sandhills, the
shortleaf pine In the Piedmont,
and the loblolly pine in the
Coastal Plain.
Graeber also pointed out that
every farm needs fence posts.
“If you don't have a suitable
supply of durable wood,” he says,
“perhaps an acre or. so of lneu.st
will meet this problem and at
the same time, with its strong
spreading root system, be of
much help_in-checkitig-eroslon,|stornis;'----Even the bees will be happy
with your choice, as the locust
flowers are a source of good
quality honey."
In a further discussion of the
type of forest planting to make,
the Extension specialist .said;
“Much of the idle land in our
State is mighty poor; yet one
of our better pines will grow in
every section. Pines will fur
nish us with lumber for con
structing the farm buildings and
for repairing .those we now have,
and with fuel wood for heating
our homes, cooking our meals,
and for curing tobacco in the
flue-cured areas.
“Fuel wood is an important
crop, since we as farmers use
each year a stack of wood four
feet wide, four feet high, and
7,000 miles long. Then, too, pines
will produce an Income from the
sales of such products as pulp-
wood, poles, piling,', and saw
logs.”

Highlights Of The
Sunday School Lesson
The Sunday School lesson for
Janiuirjr 12 Is “Christ’s Valua
tion of Personality.” — Luke 14:
1-14.
Class cleava.ge Is more to bo
feared in our time tlian Hitler’s
hosts. In this western world
we have for more than a century
and a half been conducting an
experiment in democracy, to de
monstrate the equal rights and
opportunity of all persons. Theo
retically and legally, there nre
no privileged classes. Most of our
leaders. In politics, Industry and
business, have come up from
humble beginnings. Actually, of
course, there has always been
amongst us an aristocracy of
birth and wealth, which, so long
as It kept within proper bounds,
has been utilized or tolerated or
ignored.
Of late years, winds from off
blown new and drastic concep
tions of classism Into the life
of the western world. A spirit
of mutual antagonism has been
developed between the top and
?littom of the social structure,
he "haves” and the “have nots'
are in outspoken opposition to
each other. This condition is
fraught with gravest danger.
Democracy cannot survive Its In-
ten.slfloatlon. , ’
The Greatest Democrat
So -we turn for counsel to our
one sure Leader, the greatest
democrat of the ages. We find
Jesus ignoring class distinctions,
and stressing the sacredness of
personality., regardless, of social
status. He Himself was humbly
born; reared in a workingman’s
home; taught th? trade of car
penter, at which He labored un
til He was thirty years old; asso
ciated chiefly with the common
people, and chose a little band
of plain men, most of them toll
ers, to be His closest associates
and helpers. Throughout His life
Jesus -was poor, living “from hand
to mouth,” and often not know
ing where he would sleep the
next night. Many times His couch
was the kindly earth. He en
joined this life of poverty upon
the disciples who were to take
up His work when He had laid
It down.
Still Jesus was no demagogue
or rabble*rouser. He never in
cited class against class, al
though He extolled the virtues of
humility and simplicity. And He
felt free to associate with the
rich, as well as with the poor.
Often, as In the present Lesson,
He was a guest at aristocratic
homes. His retreat when In Jeru
salem was the prosperous home
of Lazarus, Martha and Mary,
In. Bethany. John Marks home
in Jerusalem, with Its large up
per room, was evidently one of
affluence. At least one of the
•twelve—Apo5tlesr"Malthewsr' was a man of means. .
A Rebuke to Snobs
So the Master freely crossed
the class lines of His time, with
a keen consciousness of the so
cial amenities. He dared rebuke
the Pharisee host who.Jell, short
In courtesy. And always Jesus
was In character, whether tlie
guest of the highly placed, or a
way-farer on the dusty roads of
Galilee. He never cea.sed to he
Himself, the ministering repre
sentative of His Father, in all
circumstances.
In our Lesson, Jesu.s rebuked
the snobbishness of social life,
wherein the socially privileged
invited, orily. members of. their
own “set” to dine with them.
There is implied an awareness
of the dreariness and monotony,
which today’s diners-out well
know, of meeting only the same
persons at every function: and
the ceaseless exchange of social
obligations. He advised all such
to enlarge their interest and ex
perience by ^inviting those who

The year that has just passed
I lias been'^’ tf^endou^"Fne idf
i American radio—with war re
ports coming from all sections of
the worttl and listeners glued to
their radio sets In offices, farms
and automobiles. In no other
year did listeners twist their
dials so much to get news, news
and more news.
All of which reminds us of
what we wrote more than two
years ago about the situation
abroad. It still holds true to
day.
The European radio picture is
fantastic with the airwaves turn
ed from a field of entertainment
to a force of propaganda. In
one country, residents are not
permitted to hear foreign broad
casts, In another listeners no
longer know whether the station
they hear is actually their own
or from enemy lands. Others
quietly obtain distant broad
casts—and by tuning in commit
a crime.
With shells bursting around
them, citizens cling to their
loudspeakers, learn what is hap
pening in other sections and are
given courage to continue.
Through these same speakers
come official orders to the popu-
lance which may mean life or
death. To combat the force of
radio, stations are being “jam
med” by the enemy. To avoid
this, studios are switcliing wave
lengths frequently and instruct
ing their listeners to search for
them on the dial.
Out of the malstrom. will the
situation be cleared up, or will
it grow' worse? Whatever does
happen the Importance of radio
In the war will Increase. It miiy
be the airwaves, by building up
moral at home and at the front
or breaking it down at the enemy
line, which may yet be the de
cisive factor.

It is as if He said, in modern
colloquialism, “Wake up! Snap
out of it! Open your eyes to real
life, and to the nature of true
hospitality. Get to know people
outside of your own crowd. Give
your brains and your privileges a
chance to function. Earn a real

As we seek to look, with wide
perspective, upon this moment

PRESIDENT ASKS
CONGRESS TO
PROVIDE ARMS
Billions Needed
To Aid Democracies
President Roosevelt in his mes
sage to Congress Monday asked
for appropriations and authori
zations to provide "billions of
dollars worth of weapons” for
nations fighting against the
march of aggressors in all parts
of the world.
Such assistance from an Amer
ica turned into a tremendous
arsenal is essential, said the
President, because the future of
the United States and all the
Americas is menaced seriously
by the tyranny of aggressor na
tions across the sea.
Without naming any specific
figure, Mr. Roosevelt said that
billions are needed and are ask
ed for to provide the weapons
by which democracies can de
fend themselves.
Explaining that these weap
ons would be loaned to the em
battled democracies — such as
Britlan, Greece and China —
he did not, however, make spe
cific recommendations at this
time for the machinery to carry
out these transactions. That
will come later.
The President delivered his
message in person to a joint ses
sion of Congress which had just
counted the electoral votes and
declared him elected for the
first third term in American
history. Radio carried his words
throughout tlie country and
beamed them abroad in six lan
guages.
Defines Policy
Mr. Roosevelt defined "our na
tional policy” as this:
“First by an impressive ex
pression of the public will and
without regard to partisanship,
we are committed to all-inclusive
national defense.
“Second, by an impressive ex
pression of the public will and
without regard to partisanship,
we are committed to full sup
port of all those resolute peoples,
everywhere, who are resisting
aggression and are thereby keep
ing war away from our hemis
phere. By this support, we ex
press our determination that the
democratic cause shall prevail;
and we strengthen the defense
and security of our own nation.
“Third, by an impressive ex
pression of the public will and
without regard to partisanship
we are committed to the proposi
tion that principles of morality
and considerations for our own
security will never permit us to
acquisce in a peace dictated by
aggressors and sponsored by ap-
peasers. We know that endur
ing peace cannot be bought at
the cost of other peoples' freedom.”
He gave Congress assurance
that "for what we send abroad,
we shall be repaid, within a reas
onable time following the close
of hostilities, in similar mater
ials, or, at our option, in other
goods of many kinds which they
can produce and which we need.”
V. S. Threatened
The President said he was
speaking at an unprecedented
moment in this country’s history
because at no previous time
has American security been as
seriously threatened from with
out as it is today.”
“The American people,” he
said, “have unalterably set their
faces against that tyranny” re
presented by the dictatorships
across thé seas.
Mr. Roosevelt reiterated his
scorn of threats from the dicta
torships that they might regard
United States aid to the embat
tled democracies as warlike acts.
“When the dictatorships are
ready to make war upon us, they
will not wait for an act of war
on our part,” he said. “They did
not wait for Norway or Belgium
or The Netherlands to commit
an act of war.Heart of Meange
"The need of the moment Is
that our actions and our policy
should be devoted primarily—al
most exclusively — to meeting
this foreign peril. For all our
domestic problems are now
part of the great emergency.”
“I also ask this Congress for
authority and for funds suffici
ent to manufacture additional
munitions and war supplies of
many kinds, to be turned over
to those nations which are now
In actual war with agressor na
tions,” the President stated.

Narrow Tobacco Plant
Bed Is Recommended
Four good reasons for con
structing a narrow tobacco plant
bed are listed In pre-season
recommendations to tobacco
growers by Dr. Luther Shaw,
plant pathologist of N. C. State
College. He also suggests the
importance of the proper loca
tion for the plant bed.
“If the tobacco bed is built
narrow,” Dr. Shaw said, "more
plants are produced per square
yard; the danger of trampling
on plants while weeding or pull
ing is avoided; the plants can
be watered more easily and uni
formly; and fourth, and most
important, narrow beds can be
equipped and treated for blue
mold with satisfactory results
than wide ones.”
The plant pathologist recom
mends that the plant bed be
5 feet 8 inches wide to allow the
standard six-foot cover to fit
snugly when the fumigation
method is used to control blue
mold. A pathway 18 inches to
2 feet wide should be left be
tween adjacent beds.
“The benzol or paradlchloro-
benzene fumigation methods are
the best for controlling blue
mold,” Dr. Shaw declared. “Cop-
per-oxide spray is also satltfac-
French ^Strong Man”;bed.”
The State College specialist
also suggests that the plant bet}^^
be located convenient to a .sourcsw ^
of water, and preferably near t h ^ '’*
iiouse, because constant atten“
tion Is required during the de
velopment of the young plants.__
“It is also desirable,” he says .
"to locate the beds so that they
will be protected as n;uch as
possible from strong winds.”
Rapidly assuming new import
ance in French politics is Marcel
B. Peyrouten, minister of the
interior, who heads thé newly
created militant secret police,
and believed to be the future
stronir man.” The new. police
are called “Protection Guards,”
and are used as special guards
for Marshal Petain.

born May 9, 1863 on the headwaters of Dutchman creek
in Clarksville township. Son of Abel and Elizabeth Coon
Ander.son, his father was a Confederate veteran and a
brother, William F. also served in the Civil War.

INFLUENZA
It is reported that there are
at least 250 cases of influenza
in Davie county at this time.
Many families were taken sick
this week and the epidemic ap
pears to be waning. Cooleemee
and Advance appear to have very
few cases while the rest of the
county was hit.
Mr. Anderson says while
was only two years old he can
distinctly remember Wheeler’s
cavalry coming to his father’s
home being full of horses and
men and the soldiers carrylnji
off all the farm supplies of every
kin—a fact which he resentd
even to this day.
On the day “Granny” Cart

Easter eggs on a pot in tht

first tobacco ocrop he took it
to Winston and sold it at the
Jeff Brown warehouse. He said
things were-really^tough_along
those times. He said he owed
a doctor bill for visits at $1 each,
owed for rations and his wife
was sick. He said he drove ;o
Winston with a little red mule
and a one horse wagon; that
he knew ^the warehousemiin
pretty well and he begged him
to get best price he could for
his tobacco. Mr. Anderson says
Brown ask him how much he
thought his tobacco ought to
bring and that he told him at
least $70. Brown then put his
hand on Anderson's back, the
latter states, and told him he
had a surprise coming.
That load of tobacco that was
grown on less than an acre
brought $713, Mr. Anderson
stated.
"I was the most surprised man
in this world,” Mr, Anderson
said, “I had the kind of tobacco
they wanted and didn’t know
it. I tpok this money, paid
everybody, Iwught my wife a
sewing machine and a cook
stove and had plenty left."
When Mr. Anderson was not
quite 15 he went to Albemarle
where an uncle lived who send
ing him to school. On his way
home he was returning by Lex
ington making tlie trip on foot.
It was in November and he stop

Ten year later Mr. Anderson

a horse and a Cincinnati buggy
but the storekeeper would iiot

DR. W. P. KAVANAGH
BIRTHDAY BALL
BE HELD HERE
Dr. W. P. Kavanagh, of Coolee

birthday celebration program in
Davie county, announced today
that plans are underway for a
banquet to be held Thursday,
January 30, at 7:30 p. m. at the
Masonic hall under the supervi
sion of Mrs. Roy Holthouser. At
this time officers for the com
ing year will be elected and a
short program stressing infan
tile paralysis will be given.
Following the banquet a dance
will be held at the Mocksville
high school gymnasium under
the supervision of R. B. Sanford,
Jr. No tickets will be sold to
tlie dance but admission will
be chained at the door.
Saturday night, February 1,
a square dance will be given
at the Advance school under the
direction of G. H. C. Shutt, reg
ister of deeds. This dance is exr
pected to draw a large follow
ing as it has in the past. The
proceeds from both dances will
go toward the infantile paralysis
fund.
The campaign will also include
the “March of Dimes.” Boxes
will soon be placed in many local
business firms and in the schools
of Davie county within the reach
of every one so that they may
contribute to the prevention and
treatment of infantile paralysis
and to build up our reserve fund
if such cases should develop in
our county. Half of the funds
raised will remain in Davie
county for use locally in fight
ing infantile paralysis.
Teacher Training
Classes Planned
It is planned to have teacher
training classes carried on by
Catawba College this spring for
Davie county teachers. A meet
ing of all teachers interested
will be held Friday afternoon
at four o’clock at the Mocksville
high school for the purpose of
deciding upon the courses. It is
expected that class work will be
gin next week.
Six semester hours will be of
fered this spring. This Is the
equivalent of one six week sum
mer session and the credit se
cured will renew and help raise
certificates. The courses to be
offered will tie In with the pro
gram of teaching being developed
in the county.
All interested teachers and
those who are not teaching, but
who wish to secure credit are
invited to attend the meeting
Friday afternoon.
Secretary of State Cordell
Hull and Secretary of the
Treasury Henry Morgenthma
Jr. warned Cougresst Wednes
day that the United States will
l>e imperilled unless it supplies
all-ont aid to Great Britain in
her fight against Germany
and Italy.
Both appeared before the
House foreign affairs commit
tee in support of the adminis
tration’s far-reaching British-
aid bill. Hull’s testimony was
devbted largely to a portrayal
of the gloomy international
situation which he attributed
to the ruthlessncss of totali
tarian powers.
Morgenthau submitted a bal
ance sheet of British finances
which was equally gloomy in
respect to Britain’s ability to
pay for continuous purchases
of munitions in this country—
the only land in which the
treasury secretary said she can
obtain them.
He reported that war pur
chases and other orders in this
country to be met by Britain
in 1941 total $3,019,000,000.
Britain's total dollar assets
were Bivcn at Sl,77i5,000,000 as
of January 1,1911 and an addi
tional $1,355,000,000 will be
available in doll.-ir receipts to
ward liqiiidatlun of this obliga
tion.
"This financial plcturc which
I’ve given you. I’m satisfied
will pay (his year for what
already has been bought,”
Morgenthau said. “When it
comes to finding the dollars to
pay for anything like what
they may need, they just have
n’t got it.”
Thei’e are some men who have
already started worrying about
next spring’s housecleoning.
Displaying more anger than he
has shown in many a day. Pres
ident Roosevelt Tuesday declar
ed that critics of his aid-to-
Brltaln plan were guilty of the
“rottenest” and “most dastard
ly” untruths when they charged
that the plan would result In '
plowing under every fourth
American child.”
The President named no names
at a press conference, but It
was immediately recalled that
Senator Wheeler, Democrat ol
Montana, embattled opponent ot
the Roosevelt plan, had said in
a speech Sund.iy night that “tiie
lend-lease-give program is the
New Deal’s Triple A foreign
policy—plow under every fourth
American boy.”
As soon as he heard of the
President’s remarks today,
Wheeler shot back with a state
ment that “apparently the Pres
ident lost his temper.” He ex
pressed the hope that his “olow
under” statement would prove to
be untrue, but added that every
speech of the President leads the
country a step “closer to war.”
The President’s remarks grew
out of a discussion of the re
cently introduced bill giving him
broad powers to supply war ma
terials, and otherwise assist,
countries battling the Axis pow^
ers.
BLANK CHECK
A reporter noted that the bill
had been called a blank check,
and asked for the President’s
comment on that.
Mr. Rosevelt said he supposed
the best way to put it was to
suggest that some one write him
another bill that could not be
so labelled and that would ac
complish the same objectives.
“That Is not an answer,” he
asserted, “to those, at all, who
talk about plowing under every
fourth American child, which 1
regard as the most untruthful, as
the most dastardly, unpatriotic
thing that has ever been said.
Quote me on that.
"That really is the rottenest

GIMCO ROCK WOOL COMPANY
(By Edith BolUnger)According to the Guide of the American Society of Heating and 'Ventilating Engineers, heat, is lost from the average homo in the following ways. Through walls and roof 51,5 per cent, windows and door cracks, 15.8 per cent and through glass and doors 32.7 per cent.The proper insulation of a building will eliminate 75 per cent of the heat which is ordinarily lost through sidewalls and roofs. Not only will the heat be retained in winter, but eliminated In summer. A well Insulated house will save many times the cost of the Insulation job in fuel consumption, not to mention the cool comfort derived during the hot summer months.
You would not trust the construction of your home to a jack-of-all-trades, nor would you want the same type of workmen insulate it. Therefore, you would naturally want none but Insulation specialists do the job. We know of no concern more capable of doing a satisfactory job of insulation than the GIMCO ROOK WOOL COMPANY, located in the Reynolds Building. InjliniWinston-Salem, North Carolina phone 2-3324.

DOES FORD PAY GOOD WAGES?
Hbre a r e s o m e f a c t s about Ford Labor.
During the year ended November 30th,
1940, the Ford Payroll throughout the
United States averaged 113,628 hourly
wage earners, not including office em
ployes, students, or executives. They were
paid $185,105,639.12. On this basis, the
average annual wage was $1,629.05.
According to the latest available govern
ment figures, the annual average wage of
■II worken in employment covered by
parison of compensation insurance costs:
The national average rate in automotive
manufacturing plants as computed by the
National Association of Underwriters i$
in excess of $1.50 premium on each $100
payroll. The Ford cost of workmen*«
compensation is less than 50c.
This indicates that the chance of injury
in a Ford plant it much leti than ia the

It adds to the attractiveness of the community to have such a modern store.

old age i
If the 45,000,000 workers of this country
received the same average wage as Ford
employes, they would have had additional
wages of more than $35,000,000,000, thus
increasing the national income about
50%. Think what such an increase would
mean to the workers of this country and
to the American farmer, whose prices ate
based on the national income.
Wage scales in the Ford Rouge plants are
divided into three classifications:
VntkilUd . . .
Minimum hiring wage . 75c per hour
Semi-skilled . . .
Minimum hiring wage . 80c per hour
Shilled . . .
Minimum hiring wage . 90c per hour
Higher wages are in consideration of
abili^ and years of service.
Minimum wage scales for unskilled labor
at the Rouge plant are the highest ii the
industry. Top wages for skilled labor
compare favorably with, or are higher
than, wages in other automobile plants.
Now some facts on Ford labor conditions:
Not only are sanitation and other health
conditions the best in the industry, but
Ford also leads in safety devices for the
protection of employes. Proof of
this is found in the following com-
— — Thc Ford Motor-Gompany hai no -age
limit for labor, and in faa «klibcrutijr
attempts to keep older workers working.
The average age of Ford worken at the
Rouge and nearby plants ia 38.7.
A recent check-up ^ows that nearly one-
half the workers at these Ford plana were
40 or over, falling into these age groups:
25,819 between 40 and 50
14,731 between 50 and 60
3,377 between 60 and 70
417 between 70 and 80
12 between 80 and 90
In addition to the so-called regular em
ployes, the Ford Motor Company has
hired, and now has on the payroll, at tbe
same regular hourly wage, thousands of
workers who are blind, crippled or other
wise incapacitated for normal productive
work. They are not selected for their
ability to build cars or to maintain the
plant. They are on the payroll bccausc of
Henry Ford’s belief that the responsibility
of a large company to labor goes be
yond the point at which the unfortunate
worker can no longer produce profitably.
The above are facts. They arc open to
anyone who really wants to deal in facts.
Ajiyone who wants to get a job . .. buy a

MEMBER OF N. C. PRESS ASSOCIATION
Ben Franl'iin
February is celebrated as a month of famous birth
days, but January 17 is an anniversary of a figure that is
perhaps as noted as Washington and Lincoln. This man
was Benjamin Franklin and like Lincoln was a self-made
character. He achieved the heights in the scientific and
inventive world, was a noted humorist and through his
tactfulness, served his country as a diplomat in England
and France. His name is linked in each American school
child’s mind with the famed Constitution of the United
States and the issuing of the Declaration of Independence.
His hand in those was to calm and smooth the differences
involved over the formation of both. ^ Franklin as a legis
lator had his own ideas for a government. He sponsored
a plan, in the beginnings, for a seven-year presidential
term with no re-election and also, no salary for the office
of president. He was for one legislative chamber. These
facts of Franklin’s political life are perhaps not as well
known as his “poor Richard."
He did not stir his people with speeches as did Lin
coln, but he issued great wisdom in proverb form that
is quoted as befitting modern life as was true many years
ago. “It is hard for an empty sack to stand upright”
and “If you want to know the value of money, go and
try to borrow some” represent the man Franklin, who
knew people, for he was one of the masses.
Add These
One of the nicest'things in starting a new year is to
think of added features for your list of resolutions, or
do you find you were so successful in overcoming last
year’s deficiencies that you are going to rest this year?
Making Now-ycar’s resolutions isn*t-as popular today as
it used to be, maybe it is because folks have stopped kid
ding themselves. This office has a suggestion to offer for
a newspaper resolution that will be easy for every reader
to keep. Read today’s news with your mind open, read
the story behind the headline, read your editorial page
to get the other fellow’s outlook and read the advertise
ments to buy wisely for your family.
A Revered Leader
With the names pronounced in this present war, hurl
ed upon the heads of the many leaders, we begin to think
that all conductors in battle are disliked by the opposing
side. We remark of the respect accorded Robert E. Lee, a
general of a lost cause, a military genius, a Christian, a
gentleman who fought steadfastly for what he felt was
spiritually right. His name lives in both the North and
the South and it stands in both in esteem and honor.
There will be always, though the bitterness of the war has
subsided, the observance in the hearts of Americans, the
birthday of Robert E. Lee, on January 19.

SELECTED DAIRIES
(By Mickey Brown)
In tho normal pursuit of daily life, people seldom think of foods and their value. When one does give food a thought, invariably they give dairy products first con.sideratlon. Milk and Its by-products, cream, butter, cheese and buttermilk, are considered nractlcally Indespen- sable.
There Is no question but that the dairy products produced by the SELECTED DAIRIES, located on South Stratford Road, In Winston-Salem, North Carolina, phone 2-2555, are far superior to the average and equal to the best obtainable. This establishment was organized for the purpose of serving the people with
the best possible dairy products. Their large volume of business indicates that they have succeeded admirably.Due to their large volume of business, they can afford to pay producers a higher price tor his products and in turn, can manufacture and sell the finished products for less. The fact that we have such a valuable concern is a guarantee of continued prosperity.In making this Special New Year’s Issue, the writer wishes to compliment them upon the important position- they occupy in the life of the people and say that this concern Is a large contributor to the progress and prosperitjr ot this part of the state.
ROOSEVELT ASKS
FOR "FREE HAND"
IN DEFENSE PLAN
President Rosevelt’s “arsenal
for democracy” bill, giving him
unlimited peace-time powar to
supply Great Britain with guns,
tanks, ships, airplanes, and
other armaments, was introduced
in CongrcM last week and non
tlonary. Some unofficial ob-|lyn navy yard If the President
servers said the President could
even make gifts of the ma
terials if he so desired.
Will Ask For Funds
The measure, called a bill to
further promote the defense of
the United States,” is merely an
authorization bill. Mr^JRqose-
velt said he would ask for funds
to finance it—variously estimat
ed at from $2,000,000,000 to $10,-
000,000,000—after it is enacted.
It would prohibit benefiting
foreign governmentt from trans
ferring title to or possessioni of
materials obtained under the
program to another government
without the consent of the Pres
ident.
Mr. Roosevelt recognized the
sweeping authority which would
be vested In him, and he told
his press conference that he did
not want it. But, he said, some
one must have such power to
make democracy function in an
emergency such as the one which
confronts all democracies today.
He side-stepped an Inquiry
whether transfer of additional
destroyers to Britain is involv
ed, saying that none had been
requested.
The bill was Introdued simul
taneously by Senate Majority
Leader Alben W. Barkley (D),
Ky„ and House Majority Leader
John W. McCormack (D). Mass.
Barkley gave assurance that it
does not authorize the use of
American vessels to convoy ship
ments of materials embraced by
the proposed undertaking.
Labor Protected
Likewise, he said. It would not
waive rights which labor enjoys

ner, i'nd wage-hour laws.

Interventionists promptly label
ed it a declaration of war.
The far-reaching measure In
cluded an unexpected provision
under which warships of friend
ly nations could be repaired or
refitted In U. S. naval, military
or air bases. The President also
would be given power to supply
friendly powers with military In
formation, such as details ol
the navy’s secret bomb sight.
The measure vests all author
ity solely in the Chief Executive.
Some quarters said that the pro
visions go so far as to authorize
him to make gifts of war weap
ons.
Roosevelt Hopeful
Leaders of both liouses pre
dicted tlie measure would be ap
proved after “reasonable” de-
.bnLtP-_.^Thj;_Pres^dei^ also was
hopeful of early action. He
warned at a press conference
that every week the proposal is
debated means a week’s delay- in
delivering vital war materials to
Britain and other dehiocracles
re.'^istlng aggre.ssion.
The measure, which foes said
would circumvent provisions of
the Johnson and neutrality acts
banning financial aid to belliger
ents and World War debt de
faulters, wouid aiathorize:
1. The sale, leasing, lending
or “other disposition” of war
materials to any country whose
defense the President deems
vital to the defense of the United
States. The material Includes
new weapons and those on hand.
2. Testing, repairing, outfitting
or otherwise placing in good
working-order-any-defense-arti-
cle of a friendly belligerent. This
In effect .would open United
States ports to all British war
ships. They are banned at pres
ent by neutrality proclamations
which forbid entry except in the
exigencies of “force majeure”—
acts of God.
3. The manufacture of war ma
terials for friendly foreign gov
ernments in both government-
owned and privately-owned ar
senals, factories, or shipyards,
4. The release of any defense
article for export. This would
eliminate restrictions In the es
pionage act of 1917 and In the
embargo act of July 2, 1940,
which limits these shipments to
surplus materials.
5. Tho communication to
friendly government of any in
formation pertaining to defense
weapons. Under this provision
Mr. Roosevelt could turn over
the bombslght or other secret
mechanisms.
6. The President to determine
whether the United States will
accept repayment of materials
loaned or leased in kind or prop
erty or "any other direct or
indirect benefit” which he deems
satisfactory.
Item six still left unanswered
the question how the repayment
feature would operate. Mr. Roose
velt intimated, however, that In
dividual contracts will be nego
tlated, and that each might pro
vide some specific means of re
payment.
The terms of the bill appear
to make this authority dlscre
required to publicize transactions
involving the shipment of war
materials to friendly nations. He
told reporters that this record
would be checked and double
checked by, the accounting de
partments.

A joint statement Issued by
Barkley and McCormack analyz
ed the far-reaching scope of the
legislation and ¡the vast powers
which would be reposed In the
President. It said that in stand
ardizing production of United
Stated war materials an those
of the democracies, this country
could eliminate double assembly
lines and speed output.
The President would decide the
conditions and the manner in
which foreign governments could
obtain the war materials. He
would have power to dispose of
new materials as well as equip
ment now in the hands of the
army or navy.
At his press conference, he es
timated shipments would be 99
per cent new materials and one
per cent, those already produced.
He said the urgency of the situa

power.

"The bill,” the statement said,

was on the banks of the river,
which now has been harnessed
to form a source of hydro-elec
tric power.
Camp Sapona, located on the
Rowan County side of the High
Rock Lake some 5 miles above

History’s greatest Story Teller
wrapped profound and ever-en-
Jarging meanings in the tales
whieh IKylteew eytj had eathef
ed from the life of His world.
The parables of Jesus fitted the
times of His hearers; and the
wonder is that they apply to the
contemporary scene of every gen
eration. His familiar story of the
feast to which favored guests
declined Invitations, and to which
the common folk were gathered
In, has a present pertinency in
a world that is all a-lium with
talk of “social revolution” and
“a new world order.'
■PrLvileged classes, the world
around, have spurned the invi
tations that were inherent in
the opportunities offered to
them. A more equitable order
of society has all along been
peaceably possible if only the
i^aves” had sensed their re
sponsibilities to the “have nots.”
Because they failed to do so,
we have the present war. and
World-Wide mutterlngs of dis
content.
In all human reason and jus
tice, the lot of the poor should
have been alleviated, and the
great gulf between classes should
have been bridged. Simple ap
plication of Christian teachings,
and recognition of primal human
rights, would have given us a
workable social scheme that
would have brought greater hap
piness to all concerned. What Is
now being achieved by violence
and blood and sweat and tears
could have been wrought by the
Jesus way. SVivored folk too
long have spurned the great in
vitation which, accepted, would
have altered their attitude to
ward life.-Versus. Reason
the parable. One man had
bought a field, and must go out
and see it; as if anybody but a
fool would have bought property
unsight, unseen. The same was
true of tile man who said he
must prove his new purchase of
five ^uke uf The third
streets and lanes of the city,
and bring in hither the poor
and maimed and blind and
lame,” said the affronted host.
His impolite friends would learn,
with bitterness, of the sort of
guests he thought a good sub
stitute for them.
Stiil further he enlarged his
hospitality, to constrain even
the outcasts of the highways
and hedges to come in and share
the feast. Concerning the first
invited he commented, rather
bitterly, "None of those men
that were bidden .shall taste of
my supper,” A new social scheme
was put Into effect. And the
Teacher meant the parable to
indicate the wide sweep and
comprehensiveness ot the Gospel
invitation. As His inaugural
speech at Nazareth had indi
cated, the poor were to have the
Good News.
Throughout all the centuries
since this Message was first
preached, the lot of plain people
of earth, the tollers and the poor,
has steadily risen. Serfdom and
slavery have almost wholly dis
appeared from human society.
The one bright aspect of today’s
world darkness is the promise
that out of it may come a new
era of brotherhood and peace
and general prosperity.

OUR COMPLIMENTS TO
A. P. WARNER
“CEMENT-FEED-FERTILIZERS”
Most self-excusing is as un-
genulne as that of the guests in
said he had married a wife;
which fact should have enhanc
ed his sense of social respon
sibility.
All of the excuses were as thin
as that of the Arab in Mark
Twain's story, who would not lend
his axe because he needed it to
eat soup with. The unwilling or
unready person can always find
an excuse for whatever he does
not do. Excusers, aiibiers, “buck-
passers” are the termites who
infest every enterpri.se.
In real life we should make a
distinction between excuses and
reasons. Had the plea of the
discourteous guests been based
upon solid grounds they would
have been valid and accepted
Most of our excuses, however
are not sound reasons. It is those
who are most faithless In per
formance who are most prolific
in excuses. That is why the
conscientious person should shun
excuses as devices of the devil
We sympathize with the angry
host, whose hospitality had been
spurned, and who easily saw
through the transparent excuses
offered. Of course, the picture
represents the impatience of God
over the unwillingnes of
the Jews to accept His prof-
ered Way ....It is well ‘ to rnuse
occasionally upon the indigna
tion of God: the current concep
tion of the Almighty as a good-
natured, easy-going, all-forgiv
ing, amorphous Being has no
warrant In Scripture. He is a
Ck)d whose honor and Justice are
to be reckoned with.

“OPTOM ETRIST"
(By Edith Bollinger)
Do you ever stop to realize that your eyes, like other parts of your body, need occasional attention? Yet, how easily recognizable is the fact that your eyes, so vastly more important than most of your body, are not perpetual in their functions.
The science of the eyes has disclosed the necessity of glasses 'to correct poor vision from many causes. To fail your eyes in this essential need may lead to grave consequences and even cause Irreparable damage. To picture the loss of sight, untold grief and sorrow is a most unpleasant thought. Yet, the dire realization of such a tragedy may bring happiness to hundreds of people in satisfactorily adjusting the matter by ithe use of proper glasses, prescribed by a reliablel
optometrist.• DR. MA.TTHEW M. MILLER, whose offices are located at 110 Wlest 5th Street, in Winston- Salem, North Carolina, phone 7910, has efficiently and satis- faotorially served the people of this section with the finest professional service. His service is of vital importance to people without proper vision, yet, who may regain the proper function of their eyes by visiting him'at his officc and examination rooms. His patients and friends heartily recommend his service to the public.In making this Special New Year Issue, the writer wishes to compliment this efficient optometrist upon his indefatigable efforts in the practice of the profession and highly recommend his service to anyone having trouble with their eyes.

“The increase has been grad-

stated, "but the increase has
only taken care of the normal

on further to state that “along
with the reduction of salaries
has come the curtailment of the
curriculum, with a decided de

Livestock Outlook
For 1941 Is Bright
A bright outlook for livestock
farmers in 1941 Is Indicated by
the increased defense activity,
says Prof. E. H. Hostetler, State
College animal husbandman.
People eat more meat when
they are working and earning
regularly,” he pointed out, "and
the fanner who combines live
stock production with cotton or
tobacco growing will benefit the
most.”
Prof. Hostetler says that the
re-employment will help ' the
llvesboc'i-cotton farmer In two
ways, namely: 'Workers can
utilize more cotton, and they
can consume more of the live
stock products that are products
through the feeding of cotton
seed by-products.
In this connection, the State
College leader cited a recent es
timate that one hour’s wage rc'
ceived by the average American
will buy 2.1 pounds of beef,
whereas the same amount of
labor will earn an Englishman
only 1.4 pounds of beef, a Ger
man 0.9 of a pound, and a Rus
sian 0.3 of a pound—when meat
is available at any price.

tress Is eligible to receive four
pounds of cotton and 10 yards
of percale with which to make
a comfort.
The program of distributing
surplus cotton to low income
families is sponsored by the
Stale College Extension Service,
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad
ministration, and the Surplus
Marketing Administration of the
U. S. Department of Agricul
ture.
Although the mattress program
did not start until mid-summer
of 1940 In most of the counties,
■aiready-39;0e9- mattresses “Have
been made In 83 counties, and
alK>ut 46,000 more applications
are on hand. Of these, some
24,000 have been approved and
cotton and ticking Is on hand
In the counties for making these
mattresses.
“We feel that the comforter
program will be a great aid m
our program of helping low in
come rural families,” Miss Cur
rent declared. “We expect to
place 50-pound cotton mattresses
in 100,000 North Carolina farm
homes, and that means all of
these families can receive a
comfort, thereby 'sleeping not
only on a corner of the cotton
surplus but under a part of It.”
The comforts will be made in
the mattress-making centers,
and competent supervisors will
be_on_hand to-show-the-faml-
lles how to make the comforts,
just as they are now instructing
In the making of the mattresses.
The only charge for these ma
terials is a small fee for the
cost of such materials as thread,
needles, and fuel to heat the
and some fruits. Our North
Carolina cotton and tobacco
farmers might as well face these
facts and diversify their oper
ations,” Hostetler declared.
In conclusion, the animal hus
bandman suggested that farm
ers get In touch with their coun
ty farm agents and discuss with
these representatives of the
State College Extension Service
the best types of livestock to
raise for the particular com
munity In which they live.

“LEXIN OTON ’S COMPLETE DAIRY SERVICE”
(By Rlickcy Brown)
In the normal pursuit of daily life, people seldom think of foods and their value. When one does Kive food a thought, invariably they- give -dair.v products first consideration. Milk and Its byproducts cream, butter, clieese and buttermilk, are considered practically indospensable.
There is no que,stion but that the dairy nrnduots ni'odured by the COBLE- DAIRY PRODUCTS, located on North Main Street, in Lexington, North Carolina, phono 2220. are far superior to the average and equal to the best obtainable. This establishment was organized tor the purpose of serving the people with the best possible dairy products.
Their large volume of business well illustrates the admirable manner in which they have succeeded.Due to their large volume of business, they can afford to pay the producer a higher price for grade A products and in turn can manufacture and sell the finished products for less. Tlie tact that we have such a valuable concern Is a guarantee of continued prosperity.In making this Special Business Stimulating Issue, the writer wishes to compliment them upon the Important position they occupy In the life of the people and say that they are a large contributor to the prosperity and progress of this part of the state.

Young Apple Trees
Need To Be Pruned
There are two good reasons
why young apple trees should
be pruned, says H. R. Niswong
er, horticulturist ot the N. C.
State College Extension Service.
They are: (1) To secure a strong
frame-work capable of support
ing large crops of fruit with the
least breakage ot branches; and
(2) to Influence the size at
which young trees bear fruit.
"One year trees set out this
year,, without side branches,
should have one-third to one-
fourth of their height removed
in order to force out strong
mtfcfuT pfuiKBea a fratngj
work,” Niswonger stated. "On a
one-year or two-year tree with
lateral branches. It Is wise to
select several of the larger
branches arising from the trunk
to serve as the future frame
work of the tree.
These laterals should be well
distributed around the body of
the tree, 6 to 8 Inches apart.
If there are two central branches
or leaders arising from near one
point, one of theses should be
removed. All other side branches
arising from the trunk should
be removed. If the laterals and
the leader or central branch are
long and willowy, they should
be cut back m^erately. The
leader needs less pruning than
the laterals.'
The horticulturist reports that
tests conducted at the Moun
tain Experiment Station showed
that light pruning developed
trees with a larger trunk dia
meter, and produced larger crops
of apples at an early age. Hie
yields" Irom light
pruning as compared with heavy
pruning ranged from one to 4.4
bushels per tree.
Detailed Information on prun
ing the ai>pie tree is contained
in Extension Circular No. 205,
which is available free upon re
quest to the Agricultural Editor

the first prize for the “best community service” during
1940 for all non-daily newspapers in the state that are
members of the association.
Of course we are proud of this coveted honor. Com
munity service is the backbone of a newspaper, particular
ly a non-daily newspaper, and this award is the one that
is most highly prized by an individual newspaper. The
entry that won tlie prize was a series of six articles, with
pictures of prominent Davie farm families — Luther
Walker, H. Fries Bowden, J. H. Sparks, A. D. Richie, Lon
nie L. Miller and Granville Leagans.
It may be of interest of home folks to know that
when the stories appeared in the paper there was no
thought of submitting them in any newspaper contest.
The editor of the paper, in close cooperation with D. C.
Rankin, county agent, who deserves a lot of credit for the
work which he did in making the series possible, saw a
chance to portray the much-deserved success of some of
our leading farmers and at the same time to promote
better farm life.
There are many farmers in this county who are doing
worth-while things that are of interest to their neighbors
and other farmers. From time to time we expect to
feature these accomplishments.
Farm life today is not the drudgery it once was. It is
a way of life that is sweet, deeply satisfying, profitable and
American.
While we are taking a grateful bow for the award.
m wouRnTKe'td extend oU rrohgVaCiniitldlU 10 ItU^ HRl'Vtiy
Laffoon and his staff of the Elkin Tribune for winning the
first prize for general excellence. Winning this honor is
quite a habit with Mr. Laffoon and it bespeaks the out
standing job done eacli week in presenting a masterpiece
in a well-groomed, excellently-printed newspaper. Such
an accomplishment is an art that requires skill, patience
and infinite attention to detail.
Sounds Encouraging
The usual predictions for the fresh year are heard
to right and to left. Dire in many cases, the uplift comes
with the facts of increased advertising, a happy outlook
for farmers, a higher rate of activity for industry and this
sounds good to any ear full of drastic economic news voiced
by many. The customer buying, the producer advertis
ing, is slated as a fine thing for the country weekly for
1941. Whatever the economic changes that are wrought
we hope that the prediction of the ’‘Biggest advertising
year In the history of the newspaper business,” made by
a name prominent In the advertising field, is true. But in
this business, as In every other way of drawing dividends,
you can’t sit back and expect this Increased business to
simply fall Into the lap! We editors must W r k together
with the advertisers In every community and figure out
the good for both of us as well as value to the consumer.

■Well," barked the editor, “did
you get anything?”
‘Did I!” said the reporter,
pointing to two black eyes. "I
got these.”
‘We can't print those,” bellow

to you?”
"You can’t print that either.”

"I’m so sorry,” said the hat-

“Not at all, madam,” replied
the driver of the truck with a
gallant gesture. "I was to blame
myself.”
“But I insist the fault was
mine. I was on your side of the

“That may be true,” he said,

ANALYSIS Of LEND-LEASE BILL
What will Congress do with
the lend-lease bill?
Here Is an effort to give a
candid opinion on some of the
questions involved. No cor^
respondent is omniscient, of
course, and the following mere
ly attempts to summarize the
general feeling in the capital at
present.
Will the lend-lease bill Pass?
—Yes, In all probability.
WiU it be amended?—Yes, In
all probability.
— Will the amendments emasctt
one side may grow stubborn.
Is the White House being con
ciliatory?—In this sense “con
ciliatory” is a technical term;
it means at this juncture, Is the
White House prepared to go
through with the usual give-
and-take ritual that satisfies
Congress? Best advice Is the
White House is "conciliatory.”
Is Congress spilt on party lines?
—No. If the Democrats show
reasonable finess and statesman
ship the issue can be kept above
politics. This answer could be
late the bill?—Most people don’t
think so.
Will the fight be bitter?—It
may be; particularly if it Is pro
tracted.
Will it be protracted? — The
best guess is that there will be
speedy action; but that in Con
gress, is a relative term. Demo-

CHATTER: Tlie past twelve
months was the year radio went
in for war reporting In a big
way and someone thought it a
good Idea to let Americans hear
bombs actually falling In Lon
don. It was the year the Repub
lican and Democratic parties
spent over one and one-half mll-
uii|jiuaiui.umu BarfyiiiJit! mmn.-
ed as a radio comedian . . . A
comparatively new quiz show,
Ralph Edwards’ “Truth or Con
sequences,” topped “Information
Please” In the Crosley survey . . .
Fred Allen switched sponsors and
Eddie Cantor returned to the air
. . It was the year that saw
great strides In television and
frequency modulation broad
casting . . . One of the most
dramatic programs was broad
cast from Mohtevldeo — the
scuttling of the Graf Spee .
Fred Allen had a time of It with
a badly-btjhaved eagle . . . and
Ben Wain broke all precedent
by remaining on the Hit Parade
program the entire year.

Оий DEMOCRACY
expanded a gooa aeai. Repub
licans have a duty to oppose;
the Republicans in Congress have
been less "co-operatlonist” than
Mr. Willkle; also Republicans
distrust President Roosevelt. But
the answer “no,” still stands for
the above question at present.
What Is the effect of the
Willkle^Landon difference?-Not
cracy requires reasonable de- much, save In a negative sense.
.....................................It emphasizes the non-partisan
split dividing the same party.
Neither Mr. Wlllkie nor Mr. Lan-
don actually controls many votes
In Congress; their influence is
rather on the electoral masses.
If they spoke with united voice,
their moral power would be
great. As it is on this Issue, they
tend to concel each other out.
Are the Democrats united?—
Yes, to an unusual degree.
How does this come about?—
For some reason, never com
pletely explained, the South
leads other sections in sympathy
and support for Britain. This
is shown repeatedly in public
opinion polls. The conservative
Southern Wing of the Democrats
is now behind the President.
Carter Glass Is typical.
What effect does this have?
—With Southern support Mr.
Roosevelt’s "paper” majority be
comes a real majority. Demo
crats have 66 out of 96 Sen
ators; 268 out of a total of 435
Representatives. Southern sup
port far more than outweighs
Democratic losses from isola
tionists, even if Mr. Roosevelt
gets no Republican votes at all.
bate, and this includes at least
a minimum of public hearings.
Even in an emergency. Congress
rarely moves very fast.
But how long do you think it
will take?—Three weeks would be
amazingly fast: five to six weeks
more normal. These are only
guesses.
Do opponents think they can
stop the bill?—No. They do not
at this time, whatever they may
say publicly. Their plan is to
defeat the bill by amendments.
What amendments will be
passed? — The most difficult
question so far. Best guess is
some time limitation of the Pres
ident’s proposed authority.
Will this lUimage the bill?—
Chances are—no. What is hap
pening is largely a trading pro
position. Drafters of bill have
■asked for more than Uiey expect
to get; at the appropriate time
they will make concessions. The
normal expectancy is that salu
tary amendments will be ap
proved. These will also satisfy
Icfglsla'tors that they are not

Flu Epidemic Is .
Light In Yadkin
The Influenza epidemic, which
has closed many schools, theatres
and caused the cancellation of
many public gatherings In other
counties of the state, apparently
has not greatly affected Yadkin
county.
According to Fred C. Hobson,
Superintendent of schools, who
has been keeping close check on
all county schools for the past
week, comparatively few cases
are present In the schools.
A check with several physi
cians throughout the county in
dicates that the disease Is more
prevalent among adults than
among children of school age.
None of the physicians stated
that in , his opinion the disease
had reached the epidemic stage.
However, they did report “a good

county.
All schools of the county re

In discussing the work done
by Twin Brook farm, Paul Black
welder, manager and partner of

We joined the D. H. I. A, In
January, 1937, milking 44 regis
tered Guernseys that made an
average of 4,334 pounds of milk
216,6 pounds of butterfat with
first year. Three years later our
average was 6,933 pounds of
milk, 356,5 pounds of butterfat
with an average test of 5,32%.
This is an Increase in produc
tion of 2599 pounds of milk, 139,9
pounds of butterfat,
“Our Increase In production
came from feeding better rough
age, thorough milking, giving
each cow a six to eight weeks dry
period, conditioning the cows
while dry, use of better herd sires,
culling out the boarder cow,
milking three times per day, and
studying the D, H, I. A. records
with the dairy supervisor,
“In 1940 we started to do Ad

The cows are milked and fed in
stanchions and stay in them
over night but allowed to run in

tween milkings. The milking is
done by hand with the hands
that do the farm work, •
“The average of the first 14
cows to finish their test is 9,628
pounds of milk, 493,1 pounds of
butterfat. The Increase In pro
duction proves that one must be
very careful In selecting a herd
sire that possess the' qualifica
tions that enables him to head
the herd. The sire is 50% of
the herd and if no D. H. I, A,

BRITISH IMPROVE "PREDICTOR” TO
STOP GERMAN NIGHT BOMBERS
By R. MailUrd Stead
Military Correspondent of The
Christian Science Monitor
IXftlDON. — As Britain’s new
day and night air offensive
agmlnst Axis Powers gathers mo
mentum, evidence accumulates
to ahow that the Royal Air Force
1« apparently “getting the edge”
on tne German Luiiwaiie ai
Ia«k.
Today it is possible to say
with assurance that progress Is
teing made by the British to
ward minimizing the menace of
the Oerman night bomtwr.
— Thlsisn’t^surmise: It“ is~a
statement of fact based on the
RMHt responsible information. It
is not a question of an elusive
sohitlon “Just around the corner”
—which unfortunately was the
innpresslon the public was al
lowed to obtain several months
ago with resulting disappoint
ment when the Germans later
smashed up Coventry, Southamp
ton, London, and other cities.
R is a question of technical
research, expedited to the ut
most, having reached a point
where the widening application
of its outcome starts to be trans
latable into terms of increased
Nazi bomber losses.
Germans Admit Losses
Friday night, for example, the
Germans declared that six planes
which raided Portsmouth and
other targets in Southern Eng-
land iailed lo gel holhe. TKe
British officials communique
claimed only two brought down,
but this was not taken as an
indication of the Nazis overesti
mating their losses since it is
believed that the guns of Brit
ain’s night fighters probably
took a heavier toll than six.
The invariable British policy
is to claim as victims only those
whose destruction Is corrobor
ated by Irrefutable visual evid
ence and at night this Is much
harder to obtain than in the day
time. Left out of account, there
fore, are marauders so badly
winged that they fall in the sea
or are blown to small pieces by
a direct hit on their high explo
sive cargoes.
I am not permitted to indicate
the lines of investigation upon
which progress has been made
that provides British defense
organizers with what they con
sider a solid basis for anticipa
tion that the night bomber will
be subdued fairly soon. I am,
however, permitted to say that It
relates to Improved "predictor'
Instruments which can put an
tiaircraft guns and fighters on
to their targets with a greatly
reduced margin of error.
Already one type of light quick
flrer aided by the latest pre-
dictor contrivances has shown
that it can guarantee a hit with
in the first 20 shots.
As guns improve so bombers
have to be improved to elude
them. Which Is another way of
saying that both In Britain and
ample, a cloudy night caA ac
tually help rather than hinder
bombers by lighting up the target
with reflection from the clouds.
Differ on Flyine Altitures
A great difference In mili
tary offectiveness Is said to exist
between British and German
bombing because the Royal Air
Force flies low over targets 3,000
feet or under, and the Luftwaffe
doesn’t. This prompted me to
ask, "Are the Nazi ground de
fense poor?”
The reply was: "We would very
much like to have the Germans
lly low over here.” This state
ment was followed by the obser
vation that the form of defense
which the Germans exploit best
is the "barrage,” using that
much-abused word in an accur
ate sense.
Britain doesn’t favor this mode
of fire any more.
A barrage properly speaking
is a wall of fire put up so tliat
the plane flies into It, and though
noise may comfort civilians, It Is
extravagant of ammunition and
must be timed exactly to be of
any use. It is regarded here as
the counsel of despair.
An Important Discovery
What has been developed now
is "predictor concentration,” a
method calculated to bring the
fire of several guns to bear on a
point In the sky where the plane
will arrive at the same time as
the shells.
The accuracy of British pre
dictor fire is one of the discov
eries of the war. Nazi planes
have their undersides painted
with a "matt black” in order to
reflect as little light as possible
from searchlights which means
that they are invisible from the
gfouna at a n yneiKnt.-

A whirl of your radio dial brings you into contact with the most remote section of the World.As scientific research develops new methods and improvements in the radio field, the industry must develop technicians who thoroughly understand these new discoveries in order to be able to render a repair service to radio owners. Unless a repairman has this technical training he Is unable to do a thorough job.Having acquired a comprehensive knowledge and technical training in all branches of the
SHOP, located at 19 West 1st Avenue, in Lexington, North Carolina, phone 2711, is in position to offer the people a complete radio service at most reasonable prices. They do not consider a job complete until the set is properly adjusted and working perfectly, in accordance with the practice of the best radio engineers.Their service is available for testing, repairing, erection and alteration of aerials. They offer for sale only parts and accessories which they can personally recommend.In making this' Special Business Stimulating Issue, the writer wishes to compliment 'this firm upon rendering such a re liable radio repair service and suggests that you will find their

Powells Have

Chapman Powell of High Point

J. R. Powell Sunday.
Alice Anderson, little daugh

son, who has been real sick Is

Mr. and Mrs. 'Wayne Merrell
are spending this week with the
latter’s parents. Mr. and Mrs
Germany there Is a tremendous
contest going on between air
craft constructors trying to make
bombers fly higher and gunmak-
ers striving to enable artillery
to shoot further. As the strug
gle rises up to the stratosphere
advantages accrue to the anti
aircraft gun—first because this
Increase in altitude serves to
keep the raider higher up, mak
ing it more dltflcult to hit ' a
target: second, because the more
rarefied the atmosphere, the
less maneuverable the plane be
comes; and, third, because in the
rarefied atmosphere, the anti
aircraft shell fragments retain,
over a longer period, the velo
city Imparted to them when the
projectile explodes.
Clustered Beams for Beacons
While details of Britain’s new
technique of antiaircraft defense
are strictly secret certain aspects
are obvious to anybody who has
witnessed recent raids—such as
the fact that searchlights ap
pear no longer to be employed
Rs^adjuncts to the!!gùniJbut_are
used instead when the artillery Is
silent and the night fighters up.
Unlike tbe Oermane who con
tinue to place a great deal ot
faith on what might be termed
static sheaves of light, tbe Brit
ish seem more disposed to use
clustered beams as beacons,
monlns-the -fighters—to-4he
enemy’s locality—a notion that
seems reasonable enough when
one realizes that a searchlight
can Illuminate the sky more than
20,000 feet up unless clouds In
tervene.
The public naturally prefers to
see and hear signs of intense
defensive activity during a raid
and has a tendency to criticize
the sparing use of lights and
guns. It isn’t generally under
stood that a searchlight can be
a two-edged weapon. For ex-
But the ruse doesn’t deceive
British gunners In the slightest
for they are relying on sound
not sight. How much more
discerningly they are relying now
than formerly Is evidenced by
the"fact~thaf"the~{!xpendlture
of ammunition per plane brought
down is only one-third of what
it used to be.
Accurate predictor fire means
that a bomber has continually
to alter its course, and the policy
with the guns therefore is to
harass the marauder as far a-
way from the target as possible,
keep him dodging around, and
persuade him if possible to drop
bombs at the wrong place. The
success of the antiaircraft guns
is measured by the extent to
which this Is accomplished.
The Importance of doing this
is heightened by the Nazi’s tech
nique in sending over experi
enced pilots with loads of In
cendiaries to start fires so that
the less-seasoned navigators fol-

There has been a drastic change in the nielhoclt; employed by the retail grocery business in the past few years. New methods of keeping and displaying foodstuff has greatly reduced the time required for shipping, as well as increased the sale of various new food products.
A marked advantage of .the service rendered by the W. L. BALLARD GROCERY, located at 403 East 9th street, in Winston- Salem. North Carolina, phone 2-2432, ia the fact that one can secure most everything needed for the table and does not have to shop from store to store to comidete their marketing. They carry at all times a complete

out those scattered few beer retailers w Im , kjr
practices unbecoming good citiiens, tended Io
bring reproach on the great majority of law-

the ultimatum. The results, we feel, speak for
themselves.
To date, 142 retail beer Ikenaees have been elim
inated because they used their permits lo shield
illegal activities. Thus are being removed the
bad spots that, left alone, would ignore the high

Highlights Of The
Sunday School Lesson
. The Sanday school lesson for
fm uaxy 28 Is “Christ’s Concern
for the Lost/’—Luke XV.
War has warped the public
mind. It has hardened our
hearts and dulled our sensitive
ness. In the case of many of us,
the spirit of compassion has been
over layered by the spirit of
vindictiveness. We read the re
ports of the sinking of Gonnan
or Italian ships, and of the des-
t.ninMnn .nf.pnriTiy llvfs In (ipr
many, Italy, Albania and Egypt,
and we exult as bver good rews.
We rarely give thought to the
miseries of the millions in con
centration camps. All of these
innocent victims of the war-
lust of leaders are -suffereds
whose lot should quickcn our
purposes for peace and justice.
We cannot abate the prosecution
of his present war between pag
an barbarism and idealism; but
we should fight within ourselves
to retain the Christian attitude
of pity and helpfulness. Con
cern for all victims of misfortune
Is a characteristic of those who
would walk the Jesus way. To
come out of the present strug
gle with hard and selfish and
Jrindlctive hearts would be really
to lose the war
The Master’s Master Motive.
Outstanding in the qualities
Ood In the wonders of creation.
The splendor of the Creator who
set the spheres to rolling, and
rules the immeasurable universe
engrossed Him less than the
truth that God marks the spar
row's fall, and nourishes the lily
of the field, and is pitiful of
the poor, and yearns for the re
covery of all the lost children ot
His family. The God that Jesus
portrayed had for His other name
Love.
Three Immortal StBrie.s---
Ing one to the other, "This man
recelveth sinners, and eateth
with them.” They put the eccle
siastical ban upon Jesus. This
feeling of iiostllity never abated
until finally they saw Him on
the Cross. Even there, as a dy
ing act, Jesus forgave a notori
ous sinner, a criminal, and pro-
mi.sed him tlie Paradise which t»:
these aristocrats thought was ||
their peculiar heritage. Mum- H
bling complaints in their be.irds,
and criticizing openly one to
another, and even In public, the
ecclesiastical leaders of His day
outlawed the Teacher from Na
zareth.
Nearne.ss of “Far Country”
For the "far country" of sin
is startlingiy near to every one of
us. One misstep and we are In
it. We do not need to go to New
York’s Bowery, where today’s
bread lines conceal men who a
short time ago were affluent and
respected, for examples of the
proximity of the life that Is alien
from goodness and God. The
rwssibility of moral collapse Is
dangerously near everybody. Most
of us are potential prodigals;
and none know this so well as
the salntliest. The holier a per
son is the more clearly he sees
the awfulness of sin. There is
none of us outside the need of
God’s forgiving, seeking love;
Our Lesson’s three stories all
end on a note of happiness. Jesus
magnified the gladness that
there is over the finding of the
lost. He pictured heaven as a
place iwhere joy Is Increased
whenever a lost life is found, a
sinner redeemed. The realm of
perfect bliss, according to this
repeated statement of the Sa
viour, is made more blissful by
the repentance of a blundering,
earthbound .sinner. So It Is pos
sible for mortal man to add to
hpnven’.s tnv.«;---------
This aspect of God is most
beautifully pictured in the three
immortal stories that make up
the fifteenth chapter of Luke—
the stories of the lost sheep, the
lost coin and the lost son. Not
to be familiar with th5m Is to
confess one’s self uneducated. In
terse, simple, vivid, gripping
language they set forth, as para
bles, the solicitude of the Hea
venly Father for the lost. Their
contrast with most modern books
is complete.
Persons who are bothered by
the day’s clouded speculations
upon religions may find a good
portrait of the character of God
in the.se simple tales.
The Other Kind of Men
We all like to learn the con
ditions and motives that inspired
the writing of our favorite liter
ature. Wo are left in no doubtof the world’s greatest Teacher as to what caused the telling of
was His compassion. He felt
ceaseless concern for the down
and out. Any sort of suffering
touched His heart, and inspired
Him to action. For the proud
and self-sufficient He had out
spoken scorn; but for the suf
fering and the lost Jesus was the
Good Shepherd.
Lofty and deep is the truth
that Jesus mirrored a God who
is pitiful to the poor, to the
handicapped, the burdened, - to
the sorrowing. He consistently
represented the Infinite as a
Father who cares. Unlike the He
brew Psalmists, He did not dwell
upon the greatness and glory of
these tales by Jesus. The crowds
that attended His appearance
and utterances were lowly folk;
many of them the outcasts of so
ciety. Notorious publicans — the
hated tax collectors—and shame
less sinners hung upon the words
of this Rabbi who spoke as never
man spake. Jesus encouraged
them, and even dined with them
This roused the ire of the
"pious” professional, the Phari
sees and the scribes. These men
were the socially correct and
exclusive leaders of the time
Religion was to them primarily
a matter of good form. So they
murmured and complained, say-

Farm Questions
Are Answered
Question: What are the mam
points in getting the highest
price for eggs?
Answer: T. T. Brown, Exten
sion poultry specialist of State
College, has outlined a slx-ttoiat
lespedeza on better soils, advises
E. C. Blair, agronomist of the
State College Extension Service.
Korean is not adapted to the
Coastal Plain, he says.
Blair stated that the scarcity
and high price of Kobe variety
seed will undoubtedly cause
Coastal Plain farmers to sow
Korean Instead. "These farmers
are likely to be disappointed,
he declared. “Korean lespedeza
makes a very weak growth on
most Coastal Plain soils, espe
cially on the very sandy and
very acid soils.
The Extension specialist says
that Koke lespedeza Is well worth
the difference in price of seed,
because of Its far greater yield
In hay. The seed can be made
to go further by drilling them on
small grain Instead of broad
casting them. If drilled one-
half Inch deep In late Febru
ary, with superphosphate, basic
slag, fertilizer or lime, 15 pounds
of seed will plant an acre. Thirty
or more pounds of seed should
be used when broadcast.
Blair suggests that Coastal
Plain farmers use soybeans or
cowpeas for a hay crop If Kobe
lespedeza seed cannot be obtain

beans are-Glootun, Clem5orr,“and

"SECRET WEAPON" IN GERMANY HAS’
BEEN HARD WORK; U. S. FACES SAME
By C. E. GRIFFIN
The one overshadowing prob
lem today is preparation for de
fense. Whether this defense is
to take the form of aid to Brit
ain or of an independent pre
paration is a political question
which Is irrelevant In the sense
that either program calls for
Increased production. So the for
mulation of the fundamental
problem can be narrowed down
to the statement that our prob
lem is to get production and
more production. Indeed this
has been our big problem for a
long time, but there is this dif
ference—and a hopeful one—
that we recognize it today while
as a nation we have long been
confused on the importance of
production.
The reason for this difference
is that as long as we were deal
ing with things that were to be
bought and solid in the market
place, farmers, workers, and en
terprisers were immediately in
terested in the value of their
outputs, and it is true that value
of output can be increased by
scarcity as well as by abundance.
That line of reasoning was false
as far as national interests were
concerned, but It was an easy
fallacy to slip into, and slip into
it we did. But no one is going
to slip into the error of thinking
that by some newfangled econo
mics we can have more tanks by'
producing fewer of them. So|
at least the air has been clear
ed and we know what the prob
lem is.
Thai On» Saliitl»w
that the profit both in present
production and planning for the
future should be retained as far
as possible.
Germany’s most Important "se
cret weapon” is neither secret
nor mysterious: it Is merely hard
work toward a single goal. We
are starting with a serious psy
chological handicap In the vague
philosophy of prosperity through
scarcity. But because that phil
osophy have never squared with
American common sense it is
not Impossible to shake It off.
And shake it off we must If we
are to be strong, and apparently
In this world of 1941 one must
be strong to be free.

^nbQ.uc._attended the furniture
Now how do you solve a prob
lem of more production? Again
the answer Is not new. It is
by work, liurd work, and more of
it by more people. But here we
do run into a problem created
by questionable thinking and
fwllcy of recent years. We had,
through the efforts of our scien
tists, engineers, and business
managers, greatly increased our
potential productivity. An in
creased potential productivity
can broadly, speaking, be used
in either of two ways. We can
work as hard and as long as be
fore and get increased output or
we can work less and be satis
fied with the same output. We
chose the second, possibly for
the reason that as a nation we
did not have enough Imagina
tion to conceive of the first.
Now we are in a situation in
which we very much need to fol
low the first. Can we change
our habits of thought and prac
tice in this way? More specifical
ly, can we drop'the six-liour day
and five-day week programs that
gained acceptance when we fan
cied that our problem was a sur
plus of goods and a shortage of
jobs?
To meet this problem what
incentive can be provided? One
show in High Point Monday.

13 Yadkin Boys
Leave For Bragg
Thirteen men, all volunteers
under the selective service act,
left Yadkinville for Fort Bragg
Monday morning.
The volunteers completely fill
ed tlie county’s quota of 13, ac
cording to Troy W. Martin, clerk
of the Yadkin County Selective
Service Board.
Families and friends, many in
tears, were present to see the
county's largest contingent of
volunteeis leave for mllitp,ry
service. They boarded a bus
leaving Yadkinville at 8 o’clock.

is the patriotic appeal. There
are several obstacles impairing
the effectiveness of that appeal:
One Is the fact that we are ac
tually at peace and it Is difficult
to attain such a high enthusiasm
for potential defense as for ac
tual war. Another is that the
reports of our political leaders on
progress and needs are natural
ly colored with wishful thinking
and a desire to show a good
record. The candor of a Church
ill is needed. Another incentive
Is economic. Labor, and parti
cularly union labor, has laid
stress on the hourly wage as
against total Income. Intelligent
leadership of labor can help to
reverse that thinking.
Unpleasant Troth
But with all this increased ef
fort to produce, it is probably
not possible to put forth a
supreme war effort and live as
well as though we were produc
ing consumption goods. Living
standards and social gains alike
may have to be adjusted to war
time economy. That will be too
bad, but wo may have to face
It. War Is not one of the finer
things of life, and we cannot,
when the immediate stimulus is
past, get more of butter by pro
ducing more bullets, or more
automobiles by producing more
tanks. This is another unplea
sant truth, but I believe that
Americans are ready to facc it.
Further, we will sooner or later
face the problem of readjust
ment to a more normal economy.
Then it will be important that
our equipment can be re-em-
ployed In peaceful pursuits. That
might be thought to require that
government planners should
work out the details of plant ex
pansion to facilitate that future
change-over. But for this plan
ning it will be better to rely
upon the foresight of business
men, and this solution implies

STRUGGLE TO DEATH
Bombing, Gas, and Flame-Throwing Invasion With

LONDON.—Informed military and diplomatic circles in London seriously expect the mightiest onslaught of history, with bombing on an unimagined scale and the use
of every modern weapon including flame-throwers and gas, to be launched upon the British isles within three months.
This is the sober although
unofficial opinion of scores of
military men, from army pri
vates and ordinary seamen to
officers, and British, Allied, and
neutral diplomatic and political
observers who agree that:
"Germany will try to break

May."

In the summer his ) houses are always cooL Davie county needs better kept poultry flocks, which will add a great deal to the present farm income, and some of the younger poultrymen could well take a lesson from Mr. Richardson. Lights have been used on this flock during this past fail and Mr. Richardson noted a decided increase in production and his chickens quit moulting. The lights are turned on at 5 a. m.

Britain, these Informants be

invasion attempt, but only after
sacrificing half ot her air force,
three-quarters of her battle fleet,
and at least 250,000 troops.
Along the beaches and behind
them tonight Britain tightened
the lines of preparation for the
expected assault, particularly the
threat of gas.
TRY TO PREPARE PEOPLE
Authorities considered requir
ing a gas mask as an admission
ticket" to bomb shelters and the
Ministry of Home Security weigh
ed plans for civilian gas alarm
prácticos to shake Britons back
into consciousness of this men
ace.
In fact, not since the Munich
crisis and the actual outbreak of
the wav has Britain evinced
such concern over gas attacks.
In the tense days of Munich,
45.000.000 gas masks were Issued
to Britons and when that crisis
passed they were put back Into
their cardboard boxes.
After the outbreak ot the war,
with the late Prime Minister
Neville Chamberlain himself set
ting the fashion. Britons wore
the gas masks camera fashion
on straps over their shoulders.
As the first air raids passed
^ffithout the appearanvü of gas,
they dropped the custom and
now only one-fifth the jjopula-
tlon carries masks.

BAILEY FAVORS
AID TO BRITAIN
The policy of the United Stales
Government with respect to the
war in Europe, and in view of
complications. In-.the. Orient,- is
interpreted by United States
Sehatof Josiah W.''Baliey in a
press release made to North
Carolina newspapers today.
Mr. Bailey states that the po
licy appears to be as follows:
1. It is our purpose to render
full aid to Great Britain and
other countries allied with her
in resisting the aggressions of
the totalitarian powers.
2. The limitations upon this aid
are:—
(a) The preservation of our
own security.
(b) A hope that we may es
cape involvement as an actual
belligerent.
(c) We do not intend to send
our soldiers to fight In any Old
World country.
3. In order that we may ren
der aid promptly and intelligent
ly to Great Britain, we are about
to give the President extraordi
nary powers, since matters of
this sort cannot be handled as
promptly as Is necessary by the
Congress. It is not Intended
that those powers shall be per
manent, but shall expire when
ever the necessity for them
passes. The President lias de
clared that he does not intend
to have our ships used for pur
poses of convoy of ships to Great
Britain or ports of other belli
gerents and that he does not
Intend to transfer to Great Brit
ain, or any other country, nny
Important part of our Navy. He

‘FUKNISIilNGS FOR THE HOME”
(By Mickey Bruwit)
There is notlilng more Important than the bulldins of happy, comfortable homes. We venture this statement because STERCHI BROS. STORES. INCORPORATED, located at 124 East Innes Street, iu Salisbury, North Carolina, phone 1934, probably contributes to a larger degree In this most Important work than any other concern. This justly popular furniture store is one of tlie most essential features of the commercial efficiency of this section.
They keep their stock replete at all times with furnishings for tile home. No matter what may be your desires in the furniture line, they will liave It for you at a very reasonable price. A visit to tills .store will reveal

the war, meaning by this that
he will do nothing to take it
Into the war as a belligerent.
Limitations in line with the fore
going are likely to be enacted.
It is Important to this country
that the British Empire and
Commonwealth of Nations shall
not be overwhelmed, and it is
Important that the British Navy
shall not pass into the hands of
any other nation. In the final
analysis, come what may, we
may reasonably hope to prevent
by this course the control of the
seas passing to the powers that
would isolate this country in
event they should get such con
trol, and which countries cannot
be trusted not to attack us if
they should conceive it to be
to their Interest so to do. In
other words, if control of the
seas’ can be preserved as^iTTHe
present hands which control it,
tliat is the British and the United
States fleets, we will be rela
tively safe in any event.
SUSTAINS POLICY
Since there are many inquiries
as to my position, I am issuing
this statement in order that all
may know that I am sustaining
the policy of our Government as
above outlined. I deplore the
cost, the risk and the sacrifices
iniailed,. -hiit_Jivey_seem_to- mej
to be necessary to the security
and welfare of the people of the
United States.
Having stated my opinion, let
me add that I shall be utterly

me and give appropriate consi

Six-Point Program For
Quality Poultry Given
T. T. Brown, Extension poul
try specialist of N. C. State Col
lege, says the greatest need in
the North Carolina poultry hi-
dustry Is to Improve the quality
of poultry products offered on
the market. "Local distributors
of poultry products are always
glad to handle our local products
if we will furnish them quality
eggs and meat In sufficient quan
tity and steadily,” he says.
As a slx-polnt prograin for
^rodwing qualUy pniiltry, ni'uwn
lists: (1) Keep only purebred
poultry and secure the chicks or
stock from a dependable breeder;
(2) avoid overcrowding — allow
baby chicks at least one square
foot of floor space for each
two-chlcksrexcluslve—of—space
occupied by the brooder; (3)
provide plenty of ventilation
without floor drafts; (4) use a
high quality feed and feed liber
ally; (5) provide ample feed and
watering equipment; and (8)
clean and disinfect the house
and equipment thoroughly be
fore the chicks are started, and
keep the house and yards clean.
Three marketing hints are also
given by the State College sps-
clallst: (1) Destroy thin, light,
and diseased birds, never offer
thehi on the market and market
has been reached not suddenly,
but after prolonged considera
tion.

OUR COMPLIMENTS TO
JONES SERVICE STATION
(By Edith BolUnRcr)
All manufacturers of motor vehicles recommend liigh grade gasoline and motor oils, as well as the proper lubrication, in order that each vehicle may render the maximum in service. The proper lubrication of a car or truck requires expert training. Unless your car is lubricated by a specialist, serious trouble may develop.
Save yourself this trouble and expense by having the JONES SERVICE STATION, located on the East Innes Street Extension, in Salisbury, North Carolina, phone 9229, service your car at regular intervals. They render a service that is unsurpassed, even by the metropolitan stations of much larger cities. The management, having made a special
study of the business, has provided the very best gasoline, motor oil, charts and lubrication

OVR COMPLIMENTS TO
STANBACK COMPANY
(By Mickey Brown)Pew people stop to consider how Important the growth and expansion of their home community is to their every-day life.

Peace Without Hitler
There is a case for peace— yes, peace as soon as it
can be consummated. There is no case for peace negotia
tions, however, with Hitler or his Fascist clique. That’s
because Hitler believes in opportunism and not in morality.
That’s because the Hitler philosophy is to argue that the
end justifies the means and that a word or pledge given
yesterday can be erased tomorrow through expediency and
self-interest.
The case for peace now rests on the broad civilized
foundation of common sense and sound reason. It as
sumes that sooner or later there must be an end to the
war and a just peace established. It assumes, moreover,
that a mere military decision does not mean a lasting
peace. History has already recorded the -sad truth that
the only enduring peace must be a “peace without victory.”
This writer would like to make a different kind of
suggestion, namely, that the particulars about boundaries
and territories be side-tracked for the present and that we
establish what might be called the principles of a peace
movemnt. These are:
First, the British Gtovernment should announce form
ally and the United States should formally concur in the
statement that there can be no peace or peace negotiations
in the world as long as the present rulers of Germany re
main in power.
Second, that the United States Government will ac
cept the position of trustee and preside over the delibera
tions of each of a series of councils that must be set up to
determine the ultimate ownership or sovereignty of the
territories and colonies wrested from Germany at Ver
sailles and the territories since wrested from Norway, Den
mark, Holland, Belgium, Poland, Czechoslovakia and
Piaiicci b,y tliü NuiLs.
Third, the United States should announce that it will
offer constructive aid of a financial and economic char
acter to rebuild Europe and world trade.
Fourth, that the United States act in a similar capa
city as trustee in the Far East where the Japanese-Chinese
conflict must be resolved.
Fifth, peoples everywhere must be released from bond
age and given freedom of worship, freedom of speech, and
freedom of information, and a government derived from
the consent of the governed.
These principles can be supplemented by evidences
of good faith and reassurance to the people of Germany.
When the people of Central Europe have something better
to turn to than Hitler and Hitlerism they will overthrow
their dictators, and this will be equally true in Italy.
What we need is to reach into each other’s hearts
and minds . . . We have here in America millions of Ger
man human beings. We know their worth and their sense
oi justice. Over in Europe are men and women just like
them if we would only seek to reach them with kindliness
instead of hate, with proposals that will win their trust
instead of their distrust, with programs that seem to give
them a chance for life in a distracted economic world
Let us start all over again in the simple ways that
peace comes to us in our homes, in our neighborhoods,
in our own national sphere— by proving our readiness to
be fair and by being willing— even at great sacrifice— to
answer in the affirmative the age-old crv, “Am I my bro
ther’s keeper?”— DAVID LAW RENCE in the United States
News.
VIEWS HEARD BY PROMINENT
CITIZEN ON LEND-LEASE BILL
Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh
emphatically denounced the
Britisii aid bill as a “major step”
toward involvement in a war
which America couid not hope
to win and asserted that if the
United States minds its own
business, and arms itself reason
ably, it is not in any danger.
Repeatedly, in answer to ques
tions put by members ot the
house foreign affairs committee
he said that the combined forces
of botii Great Britain and the
United States could not suc
cessfully invade the continent of
Europe, unless there sliould be
an internal German collapse.
Success, he said, would be de
pendent upon "a coincidence of
miracles.”
The famous flyer, appearing at
the request of opponents of the
bill, urged an immediate nego
tiated peace. Even though it
would not bo a just one, accord
ing to American standards, he
said, it was war which would
brlnsi disaster to Europe. He
wanted neither side to win, he
said, for a victory for either
would be “disastrous” to all.
Questioned by Representative
Eaton, Republican of New Jersey
as to his reasons for opposing
the bill, he said:
“First because I believe it
step away from democracy and
•second, because it’s one more
step closer to war and I don
know how many more we can
take, short of war."
Blames tl. S. For War
Once he asserted that if it had
not been for the attitude of the
United States, the war would
«ever have been declared, and
France would not be wfiere she
is today.
For America’s defense against
any invasion from overaeas, he
advocated a force of 1*,0M up-

Prance Daladler to President
Roosevelt — arose, faced the

The R. A. F., whose task is
to preserve the sky frontiers, has
been equipped with hundreds of
new planes and expects a heavy

saying that number should be

continued in response to ques
tions, but most of them are ob
solete. He placed the number
of modern fighting planes avail
able at “a few hundred.” Except
for these, he said, America’s
recent production iiad been sent
abroad, instead of being retained
here.
Hugh S. Johnson, the news
paper columnist, followed him
to the witness stand, and said
that the bill amounted to “a
defensive and offensive aUiance
with Great Britain.” in which
any war alms the United States
might have would be entirely In
tlie control of the British gov
ernment.
Amcrica Is Safe
America was safe behind its
oceans, he said, and he didn’t
see how “anyone could turn up
his nose at 3,000 miles,” when
“Mr. Hitler is having .ад much
trouble with 25 or 30 miles.”
“If we’re not careful, we’re
going to be in this war in 30 to
90 days—possibly on the north
coast of Africa or the west coast,'
said Johnson, retired brigadier
general and former NRA admin
istrator.
BULLITT
Declaring that the United
States is faced with a “terrible,
terrible urgency,” William C.
Bullitt told the house foreign
affairs committee that if this
country stepped up its produc
tion of military equipment to
war-time levels Great Britain
could defeat Germany.
But if Britain falls, the tan
ned, baldish former ambassador
to Prance said, invasion of the
weatern hemisphere is “almoit
certain” and encirclement of the
ship. All of you gentlemen are
officers and those of us who are
out of office are the crew—and
the cargo Is America.”
MRS. HARRIMAN
Mrs. Daisy Harriman, minister
to Norway, told the committee
that modern Invention was eli
minating space “and an ocean
is no longer a barrier, especially
if controlled by a hostile power.'
Urging speedy enactment oi the
bill, she said “freedom of action
and mobility are crucial” In the
determination of where the na
tion’s defense materials can best
be Uised.
GREEN
President William Green said
the American Federation of Lab
or favored the “basic principles”
of the legislation, but would like
to see a two-year limit on the
grant of powers to the President,
and also assurances of protection
of labor’s rights In any grant
of power to commander produc
tion.
GIBSON
Ex-Senator Ernest W. Gibson
of Vermont, asserted hi a state
ment put into the record that
“qualified observers” believed
Hitler "could take Brazil by
telephone” if the British fleet
were destroyed. Speaking as
chairman of the Committee" to
Defend America by Aiding the
Allies, Gibson said Germany
“could and would” Invade the
western hemisphere it Britain
were defeated.
Bullitt, covering almost every
aspect of the European conflict
in his lengthy testimony, told
the committee in response to
questions that:
The British, who had an “un
believably small number of guns”
left after the evacuation of
France, could break the morale
of the German people by bomb
ings if the United States gave
them enough planes.
Similar to France
The state of the public mind
in the United States now of
fered an “extraordinary like
ness” to that ot Prance before
the German invasion — and
France started preparing too late.
He had “absolute knowledge”
that the French believed they
had so placed their fleet in ports
and had so instructed their men
to sink them if it became nec
essary, that none of the ships
would fall into German or Italian
hands.
President Roosevelt would
"rather give away his two eyes
than give away the navy.”
Invasion of the western hemis
phere is “almost certain” to come
through an. attack in South
America, with Japan seizing
control of the Pacific, if Britain
is beaten and her fleet is lost.

France to enter the war by indi
cating that It could count on
American armed support was,

German propaganda machine.”

British pilots are as good as
can be found and their ground
crews and facilities are held ade

Leaders of the R. A. F. have
exhibited courage, ambition, and
boldness of Imagination.
The army’s plan Is to “shoot
’em on the beaches” when the
Germans attempt their landings.
But some military authorities
concede that out of several tries,
the Nazis are likely to establish
one good bridgehead, into which
they would pour every resource In
men and materials.
It then would be up to the
navy to cut off such seaborne
supplies, even if this means the
sacrifice of several battleships.
FLEET REDOUBLES WATCH
Fortified by the new 35,000-
ton battleship. King George V
and several other new and pow
erful units, the home fleet has
redoubled its watch on the North
sea and the channel and from
cabin boy to admirals the boast
is:
“They may land but they won’t
get supplies.”
To cut off any possible bases
established, the navy will risk

Britain’s rule of the seas.
Most neutral military sources
agree that Germany, even with
the necessity of retaining strong
garrisons in the occupied ter
ritories, can launch an assault
with a manpower advantage of
about 3 to 2.
This army, which it is believed
will not be deterred by losses
however severe, will be supported
aloft by an air force estimated
at “not less than 17,500 aircraft.”
To the advantage in men and
planes, nearly all military ob
servers add another important
factor—initiative and planning.
It is deemed certain that inva
sion plans will be worked out to
the smallest details as in Poland,
Norway, Denmark, the Lowlands,
and France.
For such tactics as parachute
troops, landing of fifth column

devices made familiar on the

Farm Questions
Are Answered
Question; What materials are
best for treating cotton seed?
Answer: The best material for
treating cotton seed to control
damping off and for the im
provement of stands are 2 per
cent-and-5_percent_ethyJ__mer^
cury chloride dust. This material
can be purchased at seed, hard
ware, or drug stores under the
name of Ceresan. The price
of the dust ranges from 50 to
70 cents per pound. It is used
at the rate of 3 ounces ot 2 per
cent Ceresan per bushel of seed,
or 1^ ounces of 5 percent dust
per bushel of seed. Hence, the
cost wUl range from 9 to 14 cents
per bushel for 2 percent Ceresan,
^ d from 5 to 8 cents-per bushel
for 5 percent Ceresan.

Question: When should fumi
gation of tobacco plant beds
start to control blue mold?
Answer: If the disease Is In
the vicinity, it is best to start
fumigation with paradichloro-
benzene immediately. However,
If careful daUy inspections of
seedlings are made to insure
finding the first signs of the
disease, fumigation need not be
gin until the disease Is actuaUy
present. Care should be exer
cised in avoiding even one night’s
delay since plants cannot be re
vived by the treatment. If the
spray treatment Is used, it must
be started before a general out
break of the disease Is to occur.
The spray is only effective as a

ritories and insular affairs un
animously approved the nomina
tion . of former Representative

as governor of Puerto Rico. He
succeeds Admiral Leahy, present
V. S. ambassador to the Vichy
government in France.
Answer; The best summer
grazing crops for hogs are les
pedeza, soybeans, and red clover
As soon as the danger of frost
is over, plant soybeans thick in
the drill, in TOWS 20 Inches apart,
and cultivate them twice to keep
down grass and weeds. Toklo
or Biloxi soybeans are best for
this purpose. Rape is also a good
temporary grazing crop for swine,
but requires fertile land and
should be planted In rows. StUl,
soybeans probably furnish the
best grazing for the Investment.
PLANTING IRISH POTATOES
To control scab and various
other diseases I always treat my
Irish potato seed before plant
ing. I use New Improved Seme-
san Bel at the rate of 1 ounce
for 5 bushels of seed. This ma-
ïerlal can irë”ôl>tâlnëa“ff6m seed
stores and directions for using
arc on package.
In cutting Irish potatoes for
planting, I want a good blocky
piece, say H i to 2 bühces. This
is far better than trying to eco
nomize and cutting into smaU
pieces. Tests show that these
larger pieces wUl produce from
IVx to 3 times as much as where
quHe small pieces are planted.
A good Plan la to cut Irish potato
seed 10 days to 2 weeks before
planting. This Is especiaUy im
portant when planting early.
After cutting, put in baskets,
crates, or barrels, and place in a
close room, where the tempera
ture is around S6 to 65 degrees.
This enables the potatoes to
form a cork-like substance over
the cut spaces which means that
they are far less likely to rot
if It turns off wet and cold after
they are planted.

The most Important thing that

' events of recent times have forc

anew the motives and Jorms and
^objectives of Ufé. Standards are
changing. A deep seriousness is
coming over the mood of my
riads. It is not easy to remain
trlvlal-mlnded and thlng-mlnd-

ever thoughtful persons gather,
the talk turns to the possible
“shape of things to come.” What

economic or social theories are
too fantastic to come under seri

subordinated to the momentary

have pursued pleasure at the
sacrifice of conscience. Our stan

enough to keep you and mem

produce for sale. Obviously, 10
acres of cotton or tobacco repre
sents a larger output of labor

Out Of It All
Out ot all this serious think
ing, after It has gone further,
and paid a heavier price, will
emerge the common purpose that
will dominate the life ot the long
tomorrow. A sobered race is
niaklng up its mind to get rid
Ibrever of the horror of war. It
sees far enough Into reality to
resolve to do way with the mo
tives that create war: the greed
of many men; the prideful, con
scienceless imperialism of politi
cians and ruling classes; the dan
gerous cult ot militarism; the
narrow nationalism of selfish
peoples; the injustices of unbro-
therly classism; and the emo
tional and Intellectual instability
of the masses.
Meanwhile, common sense tells
us that we must break the pagan
power of tiic totalitarian nations,
and free their own people, as
well as the millions they have
enslaved; so that there may be
a fresh and fair start toward
an era of co-operation and good
will. He is a poor friend of
peace who would arrest the pend
ing conflict, leaving the present
powerful and vengeful forces un
punished, to resume it whenever
it becomes to their advantage to
do so.^ But the war issue is only one
ot many at stake In this con
temporary world revolution of
htunan thtnkinK. Our whole man-
spread secularization ot the
Lord’s Day; the growth ot the
gambling spirit; the present use
ot intoxicants; the popularity of
filthy literature— these all are
getting Increased public atten
tion.
It Is clear to even a person
with half a mind that the brave
new world we covet can only
come to pass as we have brave
new men and women, them
selves characterized by the qual
ities which we seek in a remade
society. Public morale Is de
pendent upon private morals. In
this time of sincere heart-search
ing we are called to consider
anew the effect ot strong drink
upon the character of the na
tion.

A committee of friends ot John
Barleycorn, originally organized

shops. They see what promiscu

may bring back prohibition.
