THURSDAY, APR. 27, 1944 Canning Sugar Monday and Tuesday of next week, May 1 and 2, have been designated as the days to register for canning sugar, and the regis tration will be at the schools. Attention is called to the fact that only two days are designated for that purpose, and ample notice is being given to all that May 1 and 2 are the days, and that regis tration will be from two to five p. m. What the overworked clerical staffs of rationing boards want the people to know is that registration will be at the schools on those two days and that they should get their canning sugar coupons there and not later go to the ration board and say they forgot it. The persons who will issue the coupons will be volunteer workers, and their serv ices will be for your benefit. Therefore, you are asked to cooperate with them and ease their task as much as possible. Parents may send by students in the up per grades to obtain their canning sugar coupons. They must send ration book number 4 for each person for whom can ning sugar is to be obtained. V 4. 5. Nine Lessons In Living 1. Learn to laugh. A good laugh is bet ter than medicine. 2. Learn to attend strictly to your own business. 3. Learn to tell a story. A well-told story is as welcome as sunbeam in a sick room. Learn the art of saying kind and en couraging tilings. Learn to avoid all ill-natured rumors, and everything calculated to create friction. 6. Learn to keep your troubles to yourself. The world is too busy to care for your ills, and sorrows. 7. Learn to stop grumbling. If you can not see any good in the world, keep the bad to yourself. Learn to hide your aches and pains un der a pleasant smile. No one cares whether you have the earache, head ache, or rheumatism. Learn to greet your friends with a smile, they carry too many frowns in their own hearts to be bothered with any of yours. You must laugh.—Duke Power Maga zine. 8. 9, Free Press “Here shall the press the people’s rights maintain’’. Too few of us get the meaning of that familiar question. The right to print and circulate the news as it is, along with criticism and inter pretations and unbiased news, is just as valuable to a democracy as the right to speak what we please and the right to make the normal choices of life. Some light on the meaning of free press can be gained from the following comment from the Oregon Daily Journal, of Port land, Oregon; “We are American newspapermen. We write and publish our rage against the Nazis and the Nipponese, unchecked and inpenalized, no matter how frank or how blunt. We say what we please about the handling of the war and the administration of the government. He have an Office of Censorship and the branches of armed ‘service exercise* censorship over the out flow of news, but, more rigorously than all official restraint, we exercise our own vol- -untary censorship. This we can do, since the puil;K)M of censorship, whether official >r voluntary, in America is to prevent giv ing Information that would aid and com fort the enemy. No authority has yet risen to direct that publication shall help to gain slnM^^ objective through distortion and ; -1. - -■ ilHteli li» Oiu" govemiwnti oii*' and our readers dwlare ^ printing of the trutti. ^ ' , “Suppose there were in the room to the one where this editorial is written^ person in uniform who passed upon eVei^ word written. For manuscnpts vOi(^g, criticism the writer could be impriwne^ for publication he could be shot. Would we, American newspapermen, ding to the truti and take to basements to do our ing, to hidden presses to do our printing.to clandestine methods to accomplish circula tion? / “Let’s look at Belgium—^Nazi-occupied Belgium. There has been' recent oppor tunity to preview a film called “Uncensor- ed“ that Dr. Alfred J. Herman, Belgian consul in Portland, assures us is a true pic ture of underground newspaper publica tion in Belgium. He, too, is authority for the information that there are more under ground newspapers now published in Bel gium than there were newspapers of all kinds before the Nazis "came. Not big newspapers, with many pages. A sped copy of La Libre Belgique ironically ^ves as its publication address the head quarters of German command in Belgium. It is not much larger than a full-sized let ter head. But it voices a freedom of the press unterrified by the death menace hanging over its editors’ heads. It ap peals for hope, because the Nazis must pass. It rallies the spirit of resistance and becomes part of Belgium’s plan to fight again, of Belgium’s prayer to be free again, “Many Belgian newspapermen have been executed, but others rise and the voice of a free press cannot be stifled. “We are free American newspapermen and the freedom of the press is a corner stone of American liberty. We believe that if Belgium’s ordeal—which God forbid! were repeated in the United States, the uniformed person in the next room would sit there alone without copy to read; his edicts and lies would still be answered by the truth’’. V g LIFE’S BETTER WAY f WALTER E. ISENHOUR Hiddenite, N. C. BE THOUGHTFUL Life's better way is to be thoughtful. Use your mind wisely. God would have us think soberly, sincerely, solemnly and righteously. On the other hand, the devil would have us think foolishly, sinfully and wrongly. And then he would have us sim ply blank in our minds oftentimes that he may bring upon us destructiveness. Men go into evils oftentimes because they do not stop and think. Bad and ruinous hab its fasten themselves upon many people for the simple reason that they didn’t think of what they were doing, or going into, or partaking of. It pays to think wisely as we travel through life. No man would become a drunkard if he would think honestly and sincerely of the cursedness of liquor, and of what it might lead him to. He would take the safe and sure way—let it absolute ly alone. No one would begin a bad thing if he would use his mind as he should and let God direct his life. To fail here is to sigh hereafter, to weep, to have bitter re morse, and if unrepented of, it means eter nity without God ana as a defeated soul. Be thoughtful. Those who climb and rise to life’s best in manhood, in honesty, in sobriety, in nobility, in godliness, holiness and saintliness are those who think; those who use their mental faculties as God in tends. But those who go down in life, down to failure, wreck and ruin physically, morally and spiritually are those who go ’orth thoughtlessly, heedlessly, headlong and without restraining themselves, or without letting God restrain them. How deplorable I Be thoughtful. God has given us a mind with which to think. Don’t let the devil make it blank,’ or simply cause you to use it as a channel of destructiveness. If one’s mind is filled with evil thoughts, and the devil has control of it, you may be assured that he will never bring you to life’s goal of success, but will take you down to de feat for time and eternity. Saint Paul said: “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus’’. (Philippians 2:6). That means a clean mind, a godly mind. It means that one goes in the right direction, does the right thing, speaks the right words, forms the right habits, lives the right life and comes to the right destination at the end of his earthly career. It means a life of success, a life of beauty, a life of blessedness, a life of peace wiUi God and man, a life of helplessness to the world and Heaven here after. Glory to God forever.

V Masons Ajttend The Grand Lodge Session FBAAK1NIS88 PERSONIFIED— A great majority of the more than 200 young men who went from Wilkes Selective Service board number 1 Friday for ex amination were those who had been deferred for farming. On the 77ay back from camp Saturday they had quite a lively time, and some of the boys got oft some appro'priate wisecracks. As one of the buses passed a man with some cows one of the Wilkes boys put his head out of the bus window and yelled; “Might as well sell ’em; they won’t keep you out any longer”. At another place they saw a young fellow plowing, and they greeted him with: "Might as well quit. We tried that and It didn’t do a bit of good”. Four local Masons attended the Grand Lodge sessions held in Raleigh Tuesday and Wednesday. Those from Liberty Lodge num ber 46 were A. A. Sturdivant and Johnson Sanders. From North WUkesboro lodge number 407 were Attorney J. H. Whicker, Sr., and John W. Nichols. Mr. Nichols was re-elected dls- tret deputy grand master for the 33rd district and Mr. Sanders was named district secretary to the committee oq Masonic education.
