THURSDAY, SEPT. 7, 1939 The Northwestern Fair While people of Europe are killing each other off and mak’ng preparations for kill ing on a bigger scale, people of Wilkes and other counties in Northwestern North Car olina are making plans to enjoy themselves at the Great Northwestern Fair to hold sway here next week, September 12 through 16. The Northwestern Fair is the one big gala occasion where the people of a great section of the state join to enjoy them selves. But the fair should and will mean more than a gala occasion of merriment. It is designed to encourage the production of better products on the farms, the orchards and in the homes. By offering about $3,000 in cash premi ums the fair hopes to and will attract the largest collection of exhibits ever assembl ed, exhibits which the public can see and learn why one is better than another and why one type is rated superior to others, this manner farmers, orchardists and mo makers can glean knowledge which i’.i Iie1p them in their endeavors to pro- !co more and better products for the . -M'kot and for home consumption Indu.strial exhibits are displayed mainly for adverti.sing purposes but incidentally are very educational in that they demon strate to the public what industry offers in the way of implements, products, meth ods and services to raise the standard of living in the homes and on the farm.s. In order to encourage the department of the fair set up to promote progress, it is the duty of producers to place something on exhfbit and in that manner to have a part in the fair. Department superintendents will be on hand to help in care and display of ex hibits and to offer every reasonable ser vice to exhibitors. Exhibits should be plac ed in the exhibit hall on Monday if possi ble and not later than early Tuesday morn ing. dife doesn't depend on his race or creed or the way he ties his necktie. We Ameri cans have the shortest hours and the high est pay for what we do in the whole world, and we buy the best products in the world with the money we earn. We know how good these products are: you and I provide the skill that makes them. "Why shouldn’t I feel important, I’m an American workman, ain’t I?” Maybe Joe Z. has an idea that’s worth remembering! Our Main Defense Peacefully inclined and 3,000 miles away from the scene of European hostili ties, it behooves the American people to make strong their greatest defense—our location on the globe. Distance from Europe makes our shores reasonably free from hostilities just so long as no European nation can gain a foothold on this hemisphere. That is what mdde the Monroe doctrine so valuable and that is the reason Ameri ca should always be interested in the good will (tf Canada, Mexico, and all the coun tries of Central and South America. It is distinctly our business tio guarantee that no European or Asiatic power takes over any territory in North or South America. Without a base of operations on this half of +he world, no nation can get far m invasion of our country but give a nation or an alliance of powers a footlhold as a base of operations and we would be in hot water continually. Our principal business while Europe is at war is to strengthen our defenses and to demonstrate to the nations of this part of the globe that we are mutually interested, in their welfare and goodwill. * t#Mf of wid.. more or iM, 1; ing on the Stoqr.

The Commissioner will require the sucessful bidder to deposit with him the sum of Two Hundred Dollars ($200), either in cash or certified check, or. the day of the sale as evidence of good faith, this sum to be applied on the bid should there be a compliance with the same; but, should the success ful bidder fail to make such depo sit immediately at the time of the acceptance of the bid, then the said premises shall be immiediate- ly re-sold at such bidder’s risk. If the successful bidder makes said deposit and thereafter fails to comply with said bid without just Mail-Bnx Improvement IT-.sig tly , mail boxes detract from th .''tur i .iC beauty along highways ai . I credit to the owners of at- ti • served through the boxes. Ri:. a., i I'oxe.s which are not properly erected or which are not in good, servicea ble condiC’on retard the delivery of mail and expose it to damage from the ele ments. It is the desire of the Department to en courage patrons of the rural delivery ser vice to provide entirely suitable mail re ceptacles and to erect them in such man ner that they will be acce.ssible to the car rier and present a neat appearance. It Is especially desirable that the boxes be maintained in such condition that they will properly protect niail placed therein, that the names of box owners be inscribed on the side of the boxes visible to the carrier as he approaches them, and that the boxe- and their supports be kept painted. Pa trons who have non-approved boxes of ter opening or other type are not required to discard hem, provided that they have Been In use for several years and are mai. tained in good, serviceable condition. How ever, any boxes which are not of approv ed type and are not in such condition that they will protect mail from damage by the' ■ elements should be replaced with boxes of' apt roved type. To accomplish these desirable objec fives the Department has designed th week beginning September 10, 1930. a- “Rural Mail Box Improvement Week.” Maybe Joe Is Right The average Amer can has the reputa tion in some circles of being too cocky—of thinking he’s a lot more important that he really is when you consider his position in the genera! scheme of things. Joe Z., who comes close to being the average American himself, has his own opinion on this particular subject. Let’s listen in on Joe for a moment: you think I take myself too seriou.s- ly? You think my job. for instance, isn’t important enough to justify my acting this way? “Well maybe you’re right. I said may be. Of course I don’t have the best job in this plant. But what I do is important just the same. Here’s the way I look at it. ‘Tve got a job, a self-respecting one [rthet means I can support my family and means I have the chance of getting a job if I have the stuff. And it’s a o6 in the United States of America. Makes j inaa feel important just to be an Ameri can these days—to know his position in^ ONE U. S. COURSE IS CLEAR AND STRAIGHT (Reidsville Review) Whatever happens in Europe, and it would be a hardy man w^ho would make any guesses at this moment, there are cer- ta n courses for the United States about whose wisdom there can be no doubt. War or no war, Ekirope is driving the ‘.mericas in upon themselves. Those in both North and South America who favor ed a sort of world alliance of democracies including primarily Russia, have waked up to find Russia suddenly on cordial terms with its announced enemy, Germany, and quite as ready to appea.se her with Poland as Chamberlain ever was to appease her with Czechoslovakia. Those who dislike Franco in Spain because of his close links with Germany and Italy have seen him abandon overnight his “Anti-Communist Axis” friends. All have seen treaties torn up, alliances repudiated, 15 years of propagandistic as- --ortions thrown overboard in a moment for the sake of immediate advantage. Surely the faith of all Americas in the large-.scale politics of Europe must be shaken to the core. In .uch a case what is an American to th nk? The only answer seems to be: Nothing, until the situation jells into some thing that can be understood. In the meantime, we have tasks before I’s which are obviously ours no matter what happens in Europe. >Vc ;::ust unite, regardless of faction, politics, race, creed, or class, behind ev ery sincere and promi.sing effort to solve our overhanging imemployment and busi ness problem. The fate of disunited and factional people of today’s world has bee.a too terribly outlined to be an instant out of • :;nd. We must, unfortunately, prepare our- .selves In a military way for any likely at- •: ck upon us, and prepare quickly and ef- ively. That includes making the Pan ama Canal as nearly invulnerable as hu man ingenuity can make it. We must spare no pains in building a unity between the American countries based on mutual interest as well as cul tural and political ties. The reciprocal trade treaty with Argentina, for example,' should be pushed through to signature in such a way that both countries will be bet-| ter for it. Inter-American relations mustj be solidly based on mutual consideration! and inter-twined welfare. Such relat'on-i ships are the only ones which stand firm amid the political cyclones which, are sweeping away the landmarks of yester day. We should adjust all difficulties with Mexico, and embark on a resolute andi leaching development of Alaska. We; .should cement) even closer our bonds with Canada, a great country overdue for great developments as the supply base for, and possibly even the sometime successor to, Britain. These are the tasks that call for all we can muster of resources, of good-will, of wisdom in the developing of policies that can create vast benefits while injuring no people but helping many. To these tasks the United States may, and must, devote itself, whether or not Europe takes the last plunge to self-de- ctruetjon.
