ASSOCUTIO
After The War
It has? been said, and historj' seems to
bear out the truth of the statement, that
every generation must have a war.
But wars constitute the worst behavior
in mankind. Wars are brought about by
greedy rulers who lust for power at the
cost of the best men of their country.
The innocent by no means escape wars.
If a nation is threatened or attacked it
must defend itself or cease to be a power,
cease to be a people who can enjoy life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
The costs of w'ars cannot be measured
in the number of lives lost, the injured or
the monetary expenditures. What of the
future and how much does civilization lose
in lost accomplishment of the best men,
physically and mentally, who die or are
disabled on the battlefields? We cannot
know. The men who die in battle today
might later have been the greatest bene
factors of the human race if they could
have lived.
Under the heading of “Shadows
against The Future,” the Reidsville Re
view carried the following editorial:
One of the quest'ons which ought to be
carefully studied, and which, so far as we
know, has never been carefully studied, is
the effect of wars on the next generation.
For instance, to what extent are Europe’s
troubles today due to the fact that the
best, healthiest, potentially most able of
the generation now mature were killed off
in 1914-1918? How many wise statesmen,
how many poets and artists, how many
economic and social pioneers, what sheer
weight of human brains were dumped mto
the graves that blossomed from Picardy to
Kiev in those years? And what has that
loss meant to today’s world?
Because all those things are so intangi
ble, nobody can measure them; because
they pertain to the spirit no one will ever
know, perhaps, their accurate weight.
How many children of the generation
which grew’ up directly after the World
War bear today the marks of the insuffi
cient nourishment, che tense, hopeless
times in w’hich they lived? Never forget
that that is the generation, in large part,
which made up the Nazi movement.
All these factors no man has measured,
because, perhaps, they cannot be measur
ed. Yet one knows they exist. The social
loss is undoubtedly greater than a similar
loss throughout a cro.s.s-section of the
w’hole population, because soldiers are se
lected for physical and mental fitness.
Now it is all happening over again-
Though almost as many civilians as soldi
ers are being killed in this, war, the de-
.structivc effect on the coming generation
will not be less than that of the World
War if it goes on as long. Already in
France relief workers and physicians are
reporting that babies born are markedly
undersize, weighing only tw’o and three
pounds at birth. Why? Because their
mothers are undernourished. People re
cently come from France report that they
dare not look into faces of children.
If that be true in France what mu.st be
true in Poland? In Belgium? In Yugo
slavia?
What will the next generation be in
Germany and Italy, decimated by a series
of bloody and useless campaigns, “educat
ed” in a mental straightjacket, fed from
babyhood on a diet of? blood-lust and
amorality?
Isn't it about time to stop all this once
and for all’ First, by conclusively beating
■those who have espoused all of it as a nor
mal, desirable way of life, and forced it on
the rest of the world? Seccnd, by teking
our part in organizing the world so that it
shall not happen again.
Help The Neighbor
“Don’t stop with your own pantry shel
ves. Help the busy neighbor down the
road to reach her canning budget, too,”
says The Progressive Farmer, and adds
the following timely sugges^ons for young
people in rural communities: “Keeping in
mind that the h«av.est responsibility for
food preservation will fall on the farmer’s
wife, we feel it would be a splendid move
if, in every community, the girls could or
ganize a volunteer canning corps. These
gins, by offering their services at least one
day each week, could give a tremendous
amount of help to busy homemakers—
homemakers who because of small chil
dren, illness, lack of training, or other
handicaps, are sorely in need of an extra
pair of willing hands, particularly during
the canning season. What better way for
a farm girl to do her part in our national
defense program than to contribute to
ward an adequate diet for the farm peo
ple in her own community? Round up the
girls in your community and start now.”

Give The Bride A Cow!
In connection with the whole national
nutrition program one of the very finest
that could be done would be to revive a
fine old Southern custom of our fathers
and grandfathers. I refer to the once pre
vailing custom in country communities for
the bride’s parents to present her with a
milk cow. Thus was the new family as
sured a milk supply and the nucleus for a
growing herd.—^The Progressive Farmer.

LIFE’S BEHER WAY
WALTER E. ISENHOUR,
Hiddenite, N. C.
WE’VE WENT AND DID IT
For weeks we have been en
deavoring to give you a report on
tense developments between
Hell's Half Acre and Cutthroat
Ridge, two ambitious powers who
aspire to dominate all the broad
terrain between their respective
boundaries
But during the past few weeks
our secretive operators and war
correspondents have failed us
miserably, as well as the mem
bers of our crack(ed) Intelli
gence (??) department
Following a surge of impulse
and with our nerve, etc., properly
fortified, we decided to visit one
of the territories to learn what
had become of our once trusted
Informants and to get the low
down On the whole situation.
For fear of divulging valuable
secrets and because of our love
of life, health and pursuit of hap
piness, we shall not disclose to
our readers which one of the two
territories we visited.
We had no trouble getting in
because our two aides looked like
customers.
Once in the territory we start
ed a hurried search for our secre
tive operative. It was' not long be
fore we found operative number
one-half. Poor fellow! he was ly
ing flat on his back at the rear
of an automobile. In his mouth
was .a rubber hose and in a flash
we could imagine that he had at
tached the hose to the exhaust of
an automobile and was asphlxiat-
Ing himself with carbon monoxide
gas. Right there we began think
ing of words for his obituary.
But we kicked the hose out of
his mouth. It was not invisible ‘
gas which flowed therefrom but a
vile smelling liquid which imme
diately killled all vegetation it
touched. Our operative had liter
ally filled his carcass with the
principal product of manufacture
of that territory. Now the only ill
effects of his hose connection
with a five gallon can in the back
seat are terrific headrches and
spasmodic returns of delerium
tremens.
Continuing undercover, w f
s.bunned the High Command with
it Kommunikays and proceeded to
gather information.
We found that the people in
their Industry have been divert
ing their materials and talents
from civilian manufacture to de
fense. Copper, as we once report
ed before, is being used to make
submarines to operate in the
Yadkin against the opposition.
We passed the sho,p on the hill
where once the copper plants to
set on furnaces had been made.
The man there waa making tanks.
For tear of being mistaken for
saboteurs, we did not tarry, but

vast riches can’t take its place.
The great trouble with the world today,
which is the cause of the most serious out
look of war and destructiveness known,
perhaps, since the flood destroyed the hu
man family froni the face of the earth, ex
cept the eight souls who went into the ark,
is that love has almost departed from the
earth. Instead of the love of God in the
human heart today—^that it w.'th the vast
majority of people—it is envy, hatred,
malice, prejudice, greed, selfishness,
drunkenness, adultry, debauchery, dissipa
tion, war, murder, suicide, and so on. Be
loved, this is the truth. Until men and na
tions come back to God, repent, get for
giveness of the.'r awful sins and wicked
ness, and have the marvelous love of God
shed abroad in their hearts, times will
grow worse and worse. People will be
come more and more wicked. God says so
in His holy word- Nothing can save the
human family from destroying themselves
and destroying each other, except the
wonderful love and grace of Almighty
God within the heart and life. Absolutely.
We are commended to love God su
premely and our fellows next. These are
the two greatest commandments within
the Bible. And they are the two in which
humanity are coming short of. “Owe no
man anji;hing, but to love one another; for
he that loveth another hath fulfilled the
law. Rom. 13:8. Just as long as men
come short of the great, deep love of God
in their inmost lives there will be war and
destructiveness; and of course, according
to God’s Word, this will continue until
Jesus comes and puts down all sin and
wickedness, casts the devil into the pit.
then sets up His millennial reign upon the
earth. That wiill be a wonderful time
then. Hallelujah! However, every soul
who will earnestly seek the Lord may have
His marvelous love in his heart and soul
here and now, and thereby be prepared to
live with the Lord forever. 'Then, reader,
seek Him and let His wonderful love fill
and thrill you. It is the best thing on
earth. ■
took it out to test it. ,We found
that the thing he had made, in
stead of being a still worm aa we
suspected, was a gun which
would shoot around trees- The
gunner could remain behind a
tree and fire like nobody’s bnsi-
nesa without exposing any part of

And we also learned that a j
cave way back in the hillside near
a stream, once used as a moon
shine factory, has been turned in
to an air raid shelter.
