T^qO|?|tKAI^PA'm€>||*g^ Welcome Moose! Beginning Saturday and continuing through Monday night, North Wilkesboro will have the privilege of being host to the sixteenth annual conclave of Carolina Moose association. Joining with Moose of the two Carolinas will be representatives of several lodges in Tennessee and Virginia. Several hun dred men and women will attend the con vention. The convention offers a splendid op portunity for North Wilkesboro to show that genuine hospitality for which we have already become well known and it is up to all of us to make the visitors realize the warm welcome that is theirs. Loyal Order of Moose is a splendid fra ternal organization, upholding the eternal principles of goodwill and service which are so essential to the success of any un dertaking, collective or individual. It upholds the principles of American ism so badly needed in this age and its humanitarian endeavors have won the ad miration of all who have knowledge o*f them, regardless of whether or not they are members of the fraternity. Thus we see that the large crowd of people from various points in four or more states w^ho will gather here during the week-end are representative of the better type of citizenship, men and women whom we shall be glad to have visit us. It behooves the Wilkesboros and the nearby communities to make these people welcome, and to entertain them as pleas antly as we know how. Moose, and Women of the Moose, we welcome you to North Wilkesboro, we want you to enjoy your stay, to see our city and community and to vi.sit the many beautiful scenes and points of interest nearby. We congratulate Loyal Order of Moose on its progress and congratulate North Wilkesboro upon this splendid opportun ity to be hosts to so many good people. Inherent Goodness “Straight is the gate and narrow is the way . . . And few there be that find it . . .” That quotation is confusing to many people but the solution is not so difficult. It narrows down to the question of how many people are really good because they want to be? And how many m.ake a pre text at goodness because they have their own axes to grind? Some behave because they are afraid of jails and prisons, or because they want to escape from the threat of fire and brim stone, the devil and all the other horrors of hell. Other lives are what we call good be cause their desire is to be good. They would still be good if there were no pris ons, no jails, no road camps and no hell in the hereafter. There are others who would not be good under any circumstances. But the salt of the earth are those who are good because that is their way of life, and who are not scared into goodness by any threat. There are those who make a pretext at goodness because it helps their business, their influence or places them vdth a po sition of influence toward obtaining their own earthly desires. The first three verses of the 13th chap ter of first Corrinthians expresses our sub ject better than- any words we might put together: 1‘ Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkl ing symbol. 2. And though I have the gift of faith, so that I could remove mountains, ’ Safe AidToNUp^lii Defenae Every motorist can contribute a part to the nation’s defense ef fort merely by putting into prac tice some of the safe and srne driving precautions which have been urged by the automotive in dustry for years, according to Jack Swofford, manager of the and have not charity, I am nothing. 3. And though I bestow all my good to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. The revised version defines charity as love, which is probably closer to the mean ing as we know it. We think of charity as being bestowing goods to the poor, etc. The word in the Corinthian quotation has Wilkes "nre Store, i^l Good- a much deeper meaning. dealer. , . ! “TTireat of a rubber shortpge It means doing good because that is our |>een emphasized .by the plac- way of life, and not for any material or in- ing of government restriction on fluential gain. ' - its consumption, but motorists “ can get many more miles out of their tires and thereby help re duce waste of this valuable com modity,” says Mr. Swofford. “Moderate top speeds for long distance driving are particularly Sec. 102, Motor \ehicle Laws of North j„j,pQrtant to long tire mileage RULES OF THE ROAD ON GOING TOO SLOW Carolina:—“(h) No person shall drive a motor vehicle at such a slow speed as to impede or block the normal and reason able movement of traffic except when re duced speed is necessary for safe opera tion or in compliance with law. Police of ficers are hereby authorized to enforce this provision by directions to drivers, and in the event of*apparent willful disobedi ence to this provision and refusal to com ply with direction of any officer in accord ance herewith the continued .slow opera tion by a driver shall be a misdemeanor.” In other words, don’t poke along on the highway and hold up traiffic, getting on the iterves of other drivers and provoking them to acts of recklessness. Drive slowly when safety demands or the law requires that you do so. Otherwise, drive at a norm al and reasonable speed. Borrowed Comment LOVE (Rev. Avery M. Church in Biblical Recorder) To exercise love is most easy and most difficult. With a true parent or a harmon ious family love is the natural characteris tic. But how about the attitude towards the enemy of that family? In the first in stance love is natural, almost instinctive, but in the latter case a spiritual law ipust come into one’s life. Part of the spirit of him who “sends the rain on the just and the unjust” must enter. “For if you love them that love you, what reward have you? do not even the publicans the same?” Then, there are other places for the ap plication of the principle of love. The neighbor who is unsaved and unenli.sted in the higher life of love may be slightly pitied and prayed for but never refreshed by the flow of our tears or a clasp of our hand. Many of our churches have large memberships and it requires efifort to get acquainted with the joys and heartaches of one another. It is not .so easy to follow the new commandment Jesus gave us “that ye love one another; even as I have loved you.” Suppose a church member acts like a baby, or even does carnal things, will the spirit of love move us to his re.s-j cue and reinstatement? “Brethren, even! if a man be overtaken in any trespass, ye who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to thyself, lest thou also be tempted.” Love must prompt all our devotion and work if Christ is honored. Great abilities, languages, learning, faith, generosity, and self-sacrifice w’ithout love profit nothing. Love softens and sustains, purifies and dedicates, gives and grows, stoops and conquers. Love is born in the Father God, grows on earth, and flowers in heaven. “Love suffereth iong and is kind; love en- vieth not; love vaunteth not itself . . . re- joiceth with the truth; . . . love never fail- eth.” “Beloved, let us love one another for love is of God.” and increa='ed safety is an addi tional dividend. Tires will wear out twice as quickly driven at 60 miles per hour, as when driven at 35 miles per hour. If the driver accustomed to making 55 miles an hour reduces his speed to 50, he will gain 12 per cent in tire wear and also increase his miles per gallon of gasoline. “Next to speed, quick .starts and stops take a heavy toll on rubber. A little less hurry on the takeoff at the change of the traf fic light, or a moi'e gradual stop habit, may mean more than 1,000 miles to a" set of tires. “In all of these examples, it Is assumed that the tires are prop erly inflated. If they are not, the cost in useless waste of rubber will be much higher. Underlnfla- Ilon will result in uneven wear and possibly destruction of the sidewalls which treads are still good. Overinflation makes the car ride hard and causes the center of the tread to wear out quickly. “Today it’s not only patriotic but plain common sense to give reasonable care to automobile tires,’’ Mr. Swofford says. ^ ■ q ’ *1 'Mrioada of AAA j^onpl ifrlcultural limestone and carloads of AAA triple sup er-phosphate on their pasturee, meadowm, and cropland this year. ■'^.52- - -V, Goldia Dean:, at (Tiarloftc, Ls grand dean of Women of the Moose In North Carolina and will preside over .seseioms of the Women of the Moose con vention here.
