IS^ 4 ^ War Tenlpo Increasing All of U3 wish that the war could end, and that it could end in complete victory for the Allied Nations, which is the only way to make sure an enduring peace. And while the tempo of the war is in creasing, there seems to be no sound rea son to believe that the end is near. On the other hand, we may expect more violent conflict on every front. And if a belief that the v ar is nearing its end has caused any hereabout to slack en their home front efforts toward victory, the number of men whose names were printed in this paper Monday as going for examination and subsequent induction into the services should stop any such wishful thinking. The end is not in sight and there will be other bond drives, other salvage cam paigns and numerous other activities which must be carried out successfully here at home to back up and support our fighting men. No Atheists There Men returning from the fighting fronts say there are no atheists in the foxholes, and flyers who have penetrated the flak over Berlin have no atheists in their midst. In the apparent security and comfort of your homes^you may be tempted to doubt the existence and power of a real Deity, but when death lurks in every second, there is no doubt, you know there is a God. And the men who return from the far corners of the earth, and who are fortunate enough t-o escape death, are going to ex pect to find religion at home, in their churches, and in the lives of their relatives and friends. If they do not find in their associates at home an abiding faith in God they are going to be sorely disappointed. We are all familar with the story of the young man who returned from the South Pacific to find that his own family had be come too busy to attend church services on Sunday, and of the disappointment he openly expressed in talking to his father and mother. Such experiences should have a sobering effect on the people at home. Tired of Being Teacher’s Pets Representatives of the six hundred thousand workers of the United Brother hood of Carpenters and Joiners of the American federation of Labor, have con demned the labor policies and the “over all paternalism’ of the present Washing ton Administration as a “stealthy threat to the continued freedom of organized labor”. The union issued a statement demand ing the following six-point program from both national political parties: The pres ervation of free enterprise, the abatement of bureaucracy, the halt of paternalism, the creation of postwar jobs through pri vate industry, the maintenance of labor’s social gains, the protection of our national interests. . \ u The leaders of organized labor can be a powerful force in upholding faith in Amer ican institutions and in restoring the inde pendence of American workmen, both of which have been dangerously weakened by attempts to use the Federal government as a shield for union abuses. The unions have. L Sect, been “teacher’s pets”. Some are beginning to realize the unpopularity of thSrole and are moving to get out of it. [ Comownt I ON WASTED MAN-HOURS Greensboro Daily News) the moment when the manpower reaches a new and perhaps its t^is the New York Herald produces a statistician, we wouldn’t attempt to say from where, who egtfihateathat 9^*000,000 aiaii-hours were sacrificed by fiJaiyWeah!, lAWyers,-cor porate .accounla and'internal revenue em ployes to the preparadron of Mcome tw ^ turns this year. And that, H is furtfierjmh-^ mitted, is the equivalent energy ed to produce 40,908. four-mrtored bomb ers. , . ' , The figures which this statisticjan used, however, must not nemrly have exhausted the other diverted man-hours in ;0ii8 sams field. What about thqse spent in evolye- ment and printing of the taxYorms before they were distributed to internal revenue bureaus ahd the general citizenry? And what about the man-hours to be consumed now in receiving, filing and checking them, especially against the estimates previously sent in? We are hoping that the tax situation as herein referred to is definitely on the way out as a re^lt of the simplified tax meas ure which has_already been worked out by the house ways and means committee. But even with tax simplification, ’the drain which other governmental agencies make upon man-power, in their own offices and amongst the citizenry, remains almost be yond comprehension. Reports, account- , ings, records and questionnaires come out of Washington more heavily and'frequent ly than showers out of an April sky. The total hours spent in their preparation, dis tribution, checking, if any, and filing by governmental employes must represent a calendarful of time; but that total, in turn, is inconsequential when compared to the expenditure of time and of energy by the individuals, organizations, businesses, et cetera, who are asked, and in most instan ces required under pain of the law, to gather, keep and supply the data for which they ask. Of course, Washington may figure the whole thing as a mere paper loss; which, so far as the publishing industry is concern ed, merely adds insult to injury. ^ Ai.;pATRI», B LIFE’S BEHER WAY i • WALTER E. ISENHOUR Hiddenite, N. C. THE ATHEIST There are not many atheists when we compare their number with those whoibe- lieve there is a God, a Creator, an intelli gent Supreme Being. And many of those who claim tc be atheists are not, really and truly, for when they face death they cal? upon God, though it may be too late. How ever, to claim to be an atheist, and never give one’s life and soul to Godj is a serious thing. TJ»e definition of atheist, according to Webster, is: “One who disbelieves or de nies the existence of a God, or supreme in telligent Being. “The synonym of atheist is infidel. Someone has said that an atheist is “a fool gone to seed”. Also the meaning of atheist, in some language, is ignoramus. He may have learning, but he is absolute ly ignorant of the right interpretation of the Bible, and ignorant of the power of God and of Christ to save from sin and un belief. He lets the devil put it into his mind, heart and head that there is no God, therefore lives on this low level as he goes through, life. God calls the atheist a fool Himself, or inspired David to call him that, when he write: “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God”. (Psalm 53:1). Regard less /of how much book knowledge the atheist has, or bow many colleges and uni versities he has graduated from, 'God’s blessed Word, which is the greatest au thority of any book, or of any source of in formation, declares him to be a fool. No one has any right to deny it. He is fool enough to give his life and soul to the devil, curse his country, then die and go to hell. No community, no country, no nation ap preciates an atheist, or infidel. This is an absolute fact. They are afraid of him. Even vile sinners know he is wrong, there fore won’t accept his unbelief in God and the Bible. If there are those occassionally who accept his ungodly, wicked teachings and views, and claim to follow in his foot steps, they don’t think enough of him to name their children after him. Who ever heard of parents naming their sons after atheists and infidels? That shows plainly they do not respect them very highly. How many namesakes do Voltaire, Tom Payne and Bob Ingersoll have? They are among the most outstanding atheists and infidels in the world. I’ve never heard of a child being named after either of them, have yqu? Then I have riever heard of an atheist dying happy, but they die an awful death, or while djong express their regret at having so lived.' Reader, pray for the atheist. His soul is precious. DWIGHT 1S V I*.". NICHOLI ItVCH IN (XmMON cy. Row ca«^h, fonaw youth of^ Pno^te comninaby uow ita- tiomd at an artny camp in Cali fomia, finally met up wttii one dse from'^Whikes county alter two years in the army' Corporal Church did not dia- close the name of hie chance ac quaintance from back home, but did find out they had much in com mon—perhaps too much. But lot’s get the whole story from Cpl. Church’s letter: “After being in the army two yearg I met the first one I had seen from'my home town. It is like seeing your brother. This fel low and myself were sent out ife do a job, which wfe did, and we sat down to grt a little rest. I said to himv There ain’t no place like home. .1 sure wish I was back in good old North Carolina’. And he said: ‘Sure Wish I was, too’. “I asked him then what town he was from and he said ‘Nortli WilkesboTo’ the best d—n place in the worid’. I said ‘Brother you ain’t joking. Is that your home town .sure enough?’ He said: ‘Yes, do you know where that is?’ I told him I orghta know, because it was my home town. -‘Then I asked about his girl fi'iend. He told me her name and asked if I knew her. I told him I guess I should know, because she was my girl friend, too. He asked how often did I get a letter from her and I told him I got one every two days and he said he got them at about the same rate. “I told him I guessed we’d have tc do something about that. We studied fdr awhile and I said if she wanted to do like that that he could write the letters and I would mail them. He said it was a deal and now I wonder what she will think when she receives a letter he writes with my name and his both on it. As for us, we don’t care now, and we are the best of friends. y»e wunt now is .for this war to end so we can go back to North Wilkesboro, the best town in the United States; and the more bonds yon people buy the sooner we will be at home again. Thanks, all of you, for what you have none”. Cpl. Church’s letter would have made a much better story if he had revealed the name of his sol dier friend, and perhaps the girl fiiend, too. Hut anyway, it is a most interesting yam of triple coincidence. REMEMBERING NAMES— Often we have much trouble in remembering names of persons to whom we were introduced. It is awfully easy to be too self-con scious at such times and not re member the name of the other par ty. Trying to get over that, we hit on a plan to get around the awkwardness of having-the name lepeated. Almost every name has an ‘i’’ or an ‘V’ in it somewhere So we would ask: “Do you spell it with an ‘-i’’ or an “e”. It worked splendidly until one time we were introduced to a person whom we wanted to know better. Her name was Hill. A man by the name of Joe Skunk went before the judge ask' ing a court order to change his name. He wanted it changed to Charlie.
