While you may have purchased several bonds, it is your duty now to place every dollar you have and which you do not need into war bonds. Those who have money or who are earning more money than they need for necessary living expenses should remem ber that there are many who are not earn ing enough money to meet increased living expenses and have anything le^t for bond buying. , There are those working at the same saWries they did three years ago. In flationary living costs already have’them in a vice and they can’t do much toward financing the war. But millions of wage earners and farm ers have more money and are earning more money than they ever did in their lives. This excess money must go into bonds for three reasons: to finance the war, to pre vent disastrous inflation, and to provide future security for the people who do the investing. After the war you can use the bonds to purchase that which is not available now, and there may be a period of economic stress when you will need that money to buy the bare necessities of life. During this Fourth War loan the appeal is not only to “buy bonds”, but to “buy more bonds”. Must Be Crushed— The Japanese military machine and mili taristic government of the Japanese em pire must be entirely crushed if there is to be lasting peace. It has been pointed out that there is a danger in this country of a pacifistic move ment which would accept a negotiated peace with Japan. Such would ultimately mean that the nations now allied at war would have a bigger and even more disastrous war with Japan at some future df te. The Japanese are a crazy-mad race of people, determined to set apart the part of the earth richest in natural resources for their own use and to enslave millions and millions of people. If peace were negotiated with Japan without crushing the evil and terroristic ambitions of the Japane^ people, the yel low dogs would immediately set about to build up a war machine of greater magni tude than ever before. To* thoroughly and completely defeat Japan to the point of unconditional sur render means a great cost m lives and re sources. But if nothing else convinces the American people that the job must be done thoroughly, the account of the death of 6,- JOO American war prisoners on the Philip- ^^es should soUdi^ us as nothing wluch heretofore has happened has accomplish- •Any military powers on the face of the Uirth who would torture and murder war j^rjfeooett must be obliterated—completely the navy. The rdf ere er was as follows: “We are proud to have such Protestant Chaplain Watt M North Carolina, respwtsible for the of this and other chapels”. The letter afso gave remarks f M. Fortson, base commander, at the dedi- srs cation, in which the vital importance of that-wy.... worship was emphasized.

Vt For Their Security— Out in the battle lines of land, sea and air, it is America’s splendid youth that is bearing the real brunt of this war. By its very nature this war, above all others, de mands the finest vigor of youth — youth which, in normal times, seldom envisions its own eventual twilight. There are so many long and dark mo ments, we know, in which these boys, who probably never gave it such serious thought before, think of their future—of the days and the years they are so gallantly win ning. The future must be made secure for them—that is the assignment of those of us safely left at home. Their future security, in the efid, boils down individually to have a job: in our American way of life that is the essential as well as the right. It is, then, of firet im portance that the National Association of Manufacturers, representing the bulk of America’s employers has this forthright plank in its recently adopted “iVogram For a Better America”. It reads: “To achieve his own security, a man must have a productive job; and we have a program for creating such jobs through the increase of capital equipment and the full cooperation of Labor and Manage ment. “If America moves into the postwar pe riod under sound laws and sound political and economic institutions the American citizen who is willing and able to work, or go into business, or otherwise service, his country in a productive capacity, need have little fear of insecurity during his productive years”. Every time you guard your speech on military matters, you ard guarding a sol diers life. Zip the lip! pLIFE’SBEnERWAYi WALTER E. ISENHOUR Hiddenite, N. C. THE REIGN OF LIQUOR The reign of liquor—^that means, we know, The reign of poverty and woe; The reign of crime, with jails well filled. The reign of shame, with honor killed; The reign of heartache in the home, The reign of want wherever we roam; The reign of wretched hate and strife That wrecks the home and kills the wife. U-1I i?' t J ’ It means the wreck of noble youth. The sacrifice of peace and truth; The wasting of one’s precious time, And giving ui^ the things sublime; The sacrifice, perhaps, of fame. The loss of manhood’s noble name; The waste of money and of wealth, ,i With loss of happiness and health. . .. 1rio;46kll» tlHU vb' were a wit wsi Some aci^dents are eaaaed Iby ever so long to - genaenjeB bare know that he was samoffs4 to drtve through the red Itel^t when he^sald go. . . .

VJORSUS EACH OTHER— The linotype operator called us to task this week beoanse we wrote up the marriage 'license with the word “versus”, meaning against, or opposing. In Other words, we had listed marriage li cense as being so and ao “versus** SO and so, instead of “and”. Reason for that was we had just finished typing the superior court proeeedingT,. which listed several divorce cases. REIGN OR RAIN— Rev. Walter E. Isenhour’s arti cle today la about the deadly reign of liquor. We know some people who wish w'e could have a rain of liquor.

Inspitc of the bad weather and much sickness in the community, a nice number were present. Mrs. Pardue gave a report on the last county council meeting, and outlined plans for the coming year’s work. M’’. Snipes explained the im portance of planning farm work ahead of time in order to get the most done. He illustrated his work by an interesting explana tion of a map which he had plac ed upon the wall, showing the hours to be done in the various farm jobs each day in each month during the year. Mrs. Greene then followed Mr. Snipes, showing on a map the work planned by a family of six—man and wife and four children. She, too, showed by illustrations, that it is much tet ter and bj» far more economic^ to plan the farm work ahead in order to save time and to be able to save the different crops m they come in. Their discussions on, “It’s 'nme for Team work.” were very helpful and thoroughly en joyed by alL During .the social hour, Mrs. Preas, assisted by two of her home economic students, MissM Mary Alexander and Eiaiiine Ward, served delicious cookies which they had made in their daw work.
