D. J. CUOmEB u4 JUUUS C. HUBBABD fvMUb»n ^ - SUmwriTH RATES: €h»e Year |1.B0 Six Mratfas 7i INwr Xoi^ .•• eat «f the State |2.e0 par Year THURSDAY, JAN. 13,1H4 Excellent Choice— When the War Labor Board selected P. W. EJshelman, president and general man ager of Wilkes Hosiery Mills, as one to represent industry on the labor dispute settlement panel for North Carolina, the board made an excellent choice. For 26 years Mr. Eshelman has been the head, of a rapidly growing firm which has employed many people, and the em ployes now number more than 600. But the manner in which he has treated employes of Wilkes Hosiery Mills com pany is the noteworthy factor in this con sideration. The relationship between em ployer and employes at Wilkes Hosiery Mills company should be an example for industry and labor to follow everywhere. Under Mr. Eshelman’s direction, work-, ing conditions for employes at Wilkes Hosiery Mills company have been improv ed progressively. There is a genuine in terest on the part of the firm and especial ly Mr. Esiielman, for the welfare df every employe. The War Labor Board's panel to deal with labor disputes will have the benefit of Mr. Eshelman’s quarter of a century of experience in successfully dealing with a large group of employes, during wliich time most cordial relations have always been maintained. And the panel will also have the bene fit of Mr. Eshelman’s long experience as a manufacturer and his association with many industrialists from all parts of the country. We repeat with emphasis that the War Labor Board made an excellent selection when it chose Mr. Eshelman for membership on a panel whose duties are so Vitaliy important, especially in war time. V Infantile Paralysis— Organization for the annual campaign to raise funds to fight infantile paralysis has been completed for Wilkes county. The campaign in the county will be un der the able leadership of C. E. Jenkins, Jr., who has enlisted the help of many civic groups and individuals to help put the county over the top with the quota of ?920. The money raised is used to rehabilitate infantile paralysis victims in the county and to provide funds for the national or ganization which carries on relentless re search in efforts to find ways and means of preventing and treating the disease which annually cripples thousands of young Americans. You will be called on to help provide these funds, and we hope that you will re spond to the appeal as liberally as possi ble. his self-appointed mission well satisfied. Pulpwood Will Do Its Share— Charles E. Wilson, executive vice chair man of the War Production Board made a startling disclosure the other day. He said the amount of material necessary to sup ply our invasion forces in western Europe will be so tremendous that it will dwarf the quantity of supplies shipped for the of- fendves in North Africa and Italy. What does this mean to the pulpwood cutters of the Nation, to the farm wood land owners, to the Victory Pulpwood Committees in 1260 communities? It means that pulpwood production must attain its peak in the first few months of J944 if tt»e Army and Navy is to provide G^ezal Buenhower with the supplies he 00^. to crack the Nazi fortresses and m^^cpte-the enslaved French, Belgians, Poles, Czechs, and other conquered itfkhd iprcS , keep them folly snpjiHiei tion, food, medical supplies. ^ Only, the Home Front can furnish these supplies. And pulpwood producers ar^ a vital part of this Home Front.;/ Without their aid, the work of many other war- workers may go ,to naught. For these sup plies will be transported overseas encased in paper and paper-board made of PUlP" wood. Many-of the supplies themselves, such as supply parachutes, hospital wad dings, and even explosives, will be made of pulpwood. The nation’s army of pulpwood produc ers will not fail their government nor the boys in service. Pulpwood will do its part in making the invasion a victorious drive to Berlin. Borrowed Comment SMALL TOWN RESPONSIBIUTY (Skyland Post) The business leaders of our country are making it increasingly clear that they are depending upon the people in towns like ours to see that free enterprise survives af ter the war. While most of us have been watching to see what industry is going to do to fight the gi-owing trend toward socialism, indus try has reached the conclusion that it must come to us with its problems and hope that it will be able to enlist our voting power and our vocal cords in the fight to save the American system of business and govern ment. Many of us who live in small towns may not be aware of the power which we ac- tully have. As an individual community we may not be able to wield much in fluence, but joined with the vast network of small communities throughout the na tion the small towns are recognized as the most powerful factor in our government. And, since the outlook of our community is nol dissimilar to that of thousands of other prosperous towns which dot the na tion, without the necessity of formal or ganization we are apt to seek the same kind of life as the people in those other communities. For that reason, big business intends to come to us with its social and legislative problems and will leave their solution pri marily in our hands. experts say that the success of vrm 4ei^d upon our ability . I LIFE’S BETTER WAY i WALTER E, ISENHOUR Hiddenite, N. C. WILLIE McKINLEY GOBLE He passed away to be with God Where death shall never reign. And when the saints in glory dwell. Triumphant over pain; Where troubles never come again To try the life and soul, And where no sin shall ever be As countless ages roll. His friends who knew him through the years, And watched his daily walk, Confess he was a noble man By conduct and by talk; Who didn’t harm his fellowmen By either word or deed, Nor seek the things that others had Through selfishness and greed. He lived a simple, peaceful life With loved ones in the home. And saw but little of the world. Because he didn’t roam To see the countries near and far. Like many people do. But was content, ’mid native hills, God’s handiwork to view. He loved his mother and her God, The Bible and the truth; He strove to be a friend to all— The aged and the youth; And though he did no mighty deeds To deck the shores of time. Yet those who knew his humble life Proclaim him quite sublime. year isfomo CSe treturory de- Hare yoq Ux blank lt0) partmentT ‘ We bare, and it ia a koney.

Hereafter, the cops are going to have a hard time telling wheth er a man is crazy, mean drunk or Just been trying to figure out his income tax on one of the new forms. First thing you want to do is to study the two pages of “Facts and Instructions To Help You Fill Out Your 1943 Tax Forms". After studying the instructions for a few hours, you will then call in several experts and law yers to help you_ figure out the Instructions. Perhaps you may be able to figure out the instructions and actually begin work on the tax blank some time next month. That Is, If you are exceptionally Intelligent and have the best of help and advice. But don’t call In the neighbors. If you get that habit, they’ll all move off and leave you. And if you are one of those people who always prepare ahead for what may happen, we’d sug gest -that you get someone en gaged to prepare commitipent pa pers and make reservation for a padded cell In the state hospital for the insane.
