Meeting— This is just a reminder early in the week to make your plans to attend the meeting to be held at the town hall Sunday after noon, April 2, in the interest of a Y. M. C. A. for North Wilkesboro. Watch this paper Thursday for more announcements, and don’t fotget the date. Plan now to at tend, and to take some public spirited man, woman, boy or girl with you. Display The Flags— Flags should be displayed on all national holidays and other special occasions. And while the nation is at war it is proper to display the flag every daty. Sight of the stars and stripes fills every American with a sense of pride in his country and all it stands for. Too few flags are displayed in North Wilkesboro, and several which are dis played are badly soiled. Investing a few' dollars in a new flag is a good suggestion. We can’t help but no tice how beautiful is the new flag in front of Insurance Serv'ice and Credit Corpora tion and other new and clean flags which are displayed. Let us give more attention to our flags, and what they stand for. Job Well uon On March 1 the Red Cross set out to raise $18,200 in donations for the Red Cross War Fund in Wilkes county. Many said the quota was too large, and that Wilkes, without lucrative war indus tries, should not have been asked to raise that amount. But today we are glad to once again commend a job well done, and to tell the people of Wilkes county that they went over the top in one more important phase of home front work to back up the fight ing men. At the time of this writing the amount turned in had passed the quota, and we hope by the time this gets in print that the quota will have been exceeded by a very substantial amount. 'The success of the Red Cross War Fund compaign, we are glad to say, is accumu lative evidence of the patriotism of the good people of Wilkes county. Dr. John W. Kincheloe, Jr, again very successfully headed the Red Cross cam paign, and was ably supported by Rev. A. C. Waggoner, chairman of the Wilkes chapter of the Red Cross, and Miss .;th- rin Sanford, executive secretary ox the chapter. The plan of organization was well car- Qut, and most of the people of the county were solicited and given a direct opportunity to contribute. Members of the Special Gifts committee, every division or township chairman and every solicitor deserves commendation for their efforts. And most of all, we wish to say a good word for every person who gave any amount to the Red Cross. You are the ones who put the drive over, because without donations there could have been no suc cess. “-~r ' State Guard Week— Governor J. M, Broughton has very ap propriately designated the week begiMing today as “State Guard Week m North Carolina. . ^ .. The object of the event is to recruit men for the State Guard companies throughout the state, and North Wilkesboro is one of the towns fortunate in having a company of the State Guard. With men going into service so rapidly, ;heen difficult to keep the numerical the companies anywhere near aber of fifty men to each on. State Guard is an . v to thrive and to have the support people of the state. When the National Guard wm mobiliz ed into service in the beginning o ^ national emergency into the war, the state was Irft without military unite for protection in case oi emergencies at home. The 168^81**^®*“' thmized.the establishment of the State Some may argue in their minds that there have been no riots and no strikes m the state requiring the presence of milit^ unite for protection of human and property rights. ^ . But we must remember that in ‘tunes of peace, prepare for war” holds certain un alterable elements of propriety. The very fact that the state does have the State Guard ready for service in any emergency may have been the retarding factor which has prevented the occurrence of man-made emergencies—^riote, striker and other dis orders which endanger life and property. The State Guard company here needs men, dozens of them, to build the com pany up to authorized strength. If you are planning to remain in this community for some time, and if you are a man be tween the ages of 17 and 60, why not en list in the State Guard? 'The company meets once each week for drill and instruc tion. Officers of the company will wel- enlistment at thewext drill, ignt come your which will be on Monday nig.

Ira C. Baker, Allied Air Forces Med- terranean chief. We exist today as a nation because we were willing to endure and were not will ing to yield.—Prime Minister Bamon De Valera of Eire. 9 LIFE’S BEHER WAY • WALTER E. ISENHOUR Hiddenite, N. C. HOW MUCH WILL YQU BE MISSED? Perhaps there are people in every lo cality who will be greatly missed when they die, or more away, as they are Christ ian citizens, loving and serving God and blessing their fellowmen. They are good neighbors, accommodating, kind, always ready to help every needy cause. They are men and women of prayer, faith and love. They build our churches, our schools, and support the Gospel with their lives and means. You can count on them. They are liberal with their means and would not be stingy, close-fisted and selfish any quicker than they would become drunken. Nobody can call them “tight wads” and tell the truth. Such people are greatly missed when they die, or when they move. The community feels the loss very deeply. How much will you be missed when you are gone? Perhaps, on the other hand, you will find people in every community practically who are a hinderance rather than a help. Many of them are absolutely a curse. They are leaders in drunkenness, or in worldliness. They seem to care nothing for the moral and spiritual uplift of the community, nor for the salvation of precious souls. Their influence is never uplifting, but downpull ing. They help to wreck and ruin the boys and girls of the community, break the hearts of fathers and mothers, wreck homes and destroy much good. It seems that they are absolutely bent on evil, and th«y plan and purpose to carry it out. How awful to have such an aim and purpose! It will be dreadful for such people to meet God. And then in almost every community you will find “tight wads”. They are so close and stingy and selfish until one wonders just how much pleasure they get out of living. As the old saying is, they would “skin a flea for its hide and tallow”. They are so close, so griping after money, or property, or so stingy, or so selfish until they make themselves miserable, and no body wants to neighbor with them, nor have any dealings with them. Such folks would let every church in the land rot down before they would help build one, and would almost let people starve to death in their midst before they would give them a peck of meal or a gallon of flour. God pity their poor, stingy, grip ing, selfish hearts. Why, a drunkard will geij to heaven as quick as they will. In fact there are drunkards who have a bet ter principal. But, how much will you be missed when you are gone? DWIGHT NICH0|4 4tal SFBINO NOTES— In the sarlnz A yonng man's fancy Iilghtly tarns ^ "ro thoughts of '' Presidential greetingn. Camp Oroft, iphysical examtatitlop>. And speaking of Presidential greetings, we think it would be more appreciated, rnhybe, if Se lective Service had a different form of notifying a man that he was being called into service. , The form they now use has a lot of bosh about greetings from the president of the United States, commander in chief, et cetera. It also says that the draftee has been selected by a board composed of his neighbors, etc., as being the very man lor military service. Perhaps the draftee would ap preciate the notjee more If It said in big letters: “H- ■lA,, HAN, TOU’KB DRAETBD! Be at your draft board office March 18, 1944, 6:45 a. m. If you’re not there you will later wish yon had been”. That would be our idea of an Ideal draft notice form. No mis understanding about it—concise and to the point. WHAT A DIPFKRJENOE— A soldier whose sweetheart had been worrying a lot sent her a telegram reading as follows: ‘‘See 1st John 4:18". The telegraph company inadvertantly left off ‘‘1st” and it said: ‘‘See John, 4:18”. That telegram mistake broke up the romance. To save you the trouble of get ting the dust off your Bible, we'll tell you what John 4:18 says: For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy huaband”. First John, 4:18, the scripture passage which the soldier intend ed to call to the attention of his sweetheart, is as follows: ‘‘There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that foareth is not made perfect in love”. JUST CHATTER— A woman who was not accus tomed to reading a thermometer thought her husband’s tempera ture was 120. She frantically called the doctor and told him to hurry. The doctor said if his temperature was 120 he didn’t need a doctor and for her to call the fire department . . .

Mary had a bathing suit; Tlie latest style, no doubt; But when she got Inside of It She was more than half way out.
