I wish to voice my opinion concerning the present immoral situation in Murphy. Firstly. I will say tl?at Murphy is on a par with other towns in wet counties In North Carolina, as far as I know no better or no worse. The situation that exists here, exists all over the United states where beer and wine Is being jold. An utter disregard II you're running en leather tires ., here's a tip ? These days, bald tires say "Walk!" You're outdoors more ? in nipping winds. So it's just good sense to change from Summer underwear to Hanes Winter Sets. These popular middleweight p irments keep you warm outdoors without being uncomfortable in doors. You'll appreciate them if you're conserving fuel with a cooler house this Winter. You also have the gentle, athletic support of the Hanesknit Crotch Guaid. Conveniently placed open ing. Flexible waistband. CHOOSE FROM THESE HANES WINTER SETS Wear a short-sleeve or sleeveless shirt '.vith ankle-length Drawers (shown above) or with mid-thigh Shorts (Fig ure A). Ask for HANES WINTER SETS for boys, too. HANES UNION-SUITS ( See Figure B. ) For men who need even warmer underwear. Tailored to exact chest width and trunk length ? they won't pinch or pull. Ankle-length logs. Long or short sleeves. T>i?

Hants Knitting Company, Winston Salem, N. C. Bur WAR BONDS AND STAMPS How the Moose Order Is Serving North Carolina Three families of North Carolina are represented in 1 this fine group of thirteen children and a mother. They come from Spray, Franklin, and Lenoir. Front row, left to right: Paul Rainey, Iris Hall, Vivian Hall, Mary Hall, Lucy Hall, Judson Hall, Marshall Ramey, and Mary Anne Ramey. Back row, left to right: Henry Howard Clippard, Helen Hall, Malcolm Hall, Mrs. Sallie Hall. Barbr.ra Hall, and George Ramey. Lodge No. 864 of the Loyal Order of Moose of Spray sponsored the admission to the Moose child city, Mooscheart. in Illinois, of the Hall family. The Moose Lodge No. 452 of Franklin, the Ramey family, and the Clippard boy ? a double orphan? is sponsored by the Moose lodge of Lenoir. No. 365. Al! these children, with Mrs. Sallie Hall, arrived at Mooseheart October last. At this child city, famed as an academic and trade school, the children will be given the best in care and training that the world has to offer, the best in food, clothing, housing, recreation, hospitalization, and education. They will be reared in the faith of their parents, given an academic and a cultural education and will receive instruction in one of the twenty useful trades or vocations through which Moosoheart builds good citizens of tomorrow. All will be given homes paralleling tne highest American standards and the best traditions. Before the youngest child. Malcolm Hall (in mother's arms), will have graduated from Mooseheart, at about eighteen years of age. the Moose order will have invested in these young lives approximately $100,000. for the rights of others always attends the selling and using of intoxicants. The most disrespect lul thing about the situation in our own town is desecration of the Sabbath Day. Our grocery stores, their operators arc kind and nice enough to close on Sun days. Other business places close ioo, but the wine and b*^er joints . are wide open seven days a week. I remember when the Good ' j Citizenship League met at the First Baptist church and asked , the town council to close the beer and wine parlors on Sundays, buw ' haven't heard anything since, ex cept a little bird told me that the i councilmen thought if that was acceded to it would hurt the i | tourist trade. What a slam on the j j tourists'! As if they were a Sun j day beer-sucking group. Being ! acquainted with some of the tourists I know they are not hunt- I ing wine and beer on Sunday, but rather would attend church somewhere. And if they are Sun day beer drinkers they would not like to be accused I'm sure. No, there is no reason for wine and j beer sales on Sunday. Decent peo ple are still traveling on Sunday I and they do not like to be con- j tacted by drunks. Concerning law enforcement j in Murphy, I have little to say. The situation exists here as in other places. To control the situ ation is beyond the power of the law. Prohibition is the best con trolling power. The condition on Saturday nights and Sundays is beyond the control of the police as few as they are. To accede to the wishes and desires of good citizenship and church going peo ple in closing from Saturday 10 p.m. until Monday 6 a.m. is one way of controlling the situation, and protecting those who arc on the way to and from church. If there is decency and respect in the operators of wine and beer Joints they would cloak together ! and say. "We will sell no beer and wine on Sundays". If there is not then the city dads should take it in hand. Then if that can't be done, give the people a referen dum on it. With no ill will toward any. I remain. Clarcnce A. Voyles, Pastor Calvary Baptist Church. Murphy. P. S. I would like to hear from j others on this question. Upper Wolf Creek The Rev. John Henry, of Blue Ridge. Ga.. preached at the Macedonia Baptist church last Sunday. Miss Lottie Simonds left Sun day for Lenoir City, Tenn., to visit Mrs. Robert Cole.

Mrs. Billie Ledford was visiting Mrs. Edith Cook Saturday after noon. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Cook were visiting Mr. and Mrs. George Stuart at Hothouse, Sunday. Ott Patterson, who has been seriously ill with blood poison, is reported to be some better. Flying High 'The following fictional story was written by Buddy Taylor, son of Dr. and Mrs. P. V. Taylor, sixth grade student in Murphy school.) Joe Kelly and Bill Johnson were walking across the Airfield to their Curtis dive bomber. They were on their way to bomb a Jap supply train. They elimbed in and Joe started the engine. Quickly they taxied down the field and up into the air. They were now over the ocean and on their way to one of the Solomon Islands where they were going to tomb the train. After a few hours flying they were over the island. They then swiftly climbed to high altitude to escape Jap fighters. A mile in land they sighted the train. Once over the train they went itno a ' dive at 300 feet above it, pulled out and let their bombs go. Then they went into a steep climb. On their way back a Jap zero attacked them. Bill turned the gun turret toward the zero and started firing. Tat tat tat tat tat went the guns. The zero looped and again dived at them. Tat tat tat tat tat went the zero's guns. Tat tat tat tat tat went the dive bomber's guns and down went the Jap zero in flames. An hour later Bill and Joe landed at their airfield. The mission was com pleted, the train was stopped, and a zero was shot down. The boys climbed out and said, "A good day's work."

Each new habit of care you practice helps to shorten the war. Why not begin with painting the scrcns, wire and frame, and screen doors, too. Theso should bo taken down and sto ed in the attic or storage room. This is a good practice for all times. When you buy soap take the wrapper off and let it dry: it will go much further. Save soap scraps to make liquid soap? soap scraps plus water. Don't put hot food in refriger ator. Don't waste space by keep ing in the refrigerator foods that do not need to be kept cold such as pickles, jelly, vegetables, short ! cning and unopened cans. Keep upholstered furniture j clean and brushed. Slip covers : will help lengthen the life of 1 furniture. If sweeping with a broom, avoid i the digging motion and remember that beating and shaking breaks fibers in a rug's foundation ma terials. And don't stand youi broom on the sweeping end.

Forest Fire Bill Now In Congress What has been called "the most important forestry legisla tion in re?ent years" is the Mc Nary Bill now In Congress. This bill, introduced by Senator Mc Nary of Oregon provides for in creasing the annual federal ap propriation for cooperative forest firo protection with the states to $9,000 000. The present maximum authorization is only $2,500,000 for the entire country. Forestry leaders in the South are unanimous that this section's most urgent problem in timber production is uncontrolled fires. Inadequate federal funds to match state funds is the main drawback to better fire control. The use of timber in the war effort cannot be overemphasized. Rpn>nfly th" AHT.7 SmhmnuiwU that willful destruction of the nation's timber by fire would be considered sabotage. The annua! forest fire loss in the South has averaged more than $30,000,000 for the past five years according to government statistics. Forest fires do greater damage in the South than in the rest of the United state* to?et her. More tfian 90 per cent of the total forested area that burns annual ly in the nation occurs in the 12 southern states The U. 6. Forest Service esti mates that nation-wide fire pro tection would cost $18,000,000 an nually. The McNary Bill would therefore, authorize the federal government to Ixar half this cost, provided the various states i matched the federal funds.
