Hollywoodian tears have been spilling from the usually dry eyes of Boadway press-agents and gossip columnists over the 30 per cent Federal tax on nightclub en tertainment. First came the moan that hiking the check—^to help pay for the war—was hurt ing the armed forces’ morale. But even Broadway couldn’t swallow that one! Then the glycerine globules began falling for the 15,000 assorted “entertainers” thrown out of work. We’ve wondered what a man in uni form would think about this, and now one of them has told us. Speaking to business icatteiithNil wuenibled^ In by the NaMdnal Association of Ma»ofactaml.and atoois Manofacturew* Association to con sider problems of war pcoduction Jn the face -of a constancy increaring maapowm? shortage, Ueot. Gen. Brehon Soln®^wH said: “There's too mtw* sorroWi among the families of ohr aghtt^ lads waste tears on a master-of-cereroonles out Of a.^lSrffc job! Oar boys are dying in Banna and JA the jungles of the South Pacific—in Italy and in the air over Germany. - “Let’s put these (nightclub) men to work at something useful. There are plen ty of jobs for tkem in your plants, or on the railroads and steamships that we carrying the guns and ammunition to our fighters May there be a chorus of a million Amens! When Tech Sergeant Luke Coulter re tired at Camp Davis last month he threw his last salute at Colonel Adam E. Potts, the Post Commander. It was not Coulter’s first salute to go in that direction, not by several hundred probably. You see, 30 years ago when Private Coulter was serv ing his first hitch in the Army, his platoon leader was a second lieutenant just out of West Point, who was the same Adam E. Potts. V Uncontrolled forest and woods fires are working for the Axis enemy. When fires burn the South’s forests they damage trees which could have provided forest products needed on fighting fronts of the war. All of us should be extra careful with fire in the woods during wartime. Let’s use our forests to fight the enemy. Our careless- less with fire in the woods must not aid ;he Axis. Y. M. C. A. Offers Environment Christian Character It is our intention in this article to give a fuller understanding of the benefits of a Y. M. C. A. to a community. Elspecially is this appropriate as the cam paign to raise $160,000 to erect a “Y” here gets under way. The Y. M. C. A. operates in cooperation with, but separate from, the organized |/»l^ahf>f an auxiliary agency which its purpose the leading of young people to faith in God through Jesus Christ. Religion is more than dormant church membership. It is the way of life which directs the abilities and talents of people into channels for the upbuilding of God’s kingdom here on earth. It is greater and finer than being scared into doing some thing in the hope of escaping orthodox hell. “By their works ye shall know them”. We are quoting here what some of the citizens of our community say about a Y. M. C. A. From time to time w'e shall en deavor to include testimonials by others: “The crow-ding together of people in the modern community makes necessary sup ervised training and recreational facilities for youth. More and more the temptations and settings for evil exi.st. Although these evils may not affect you and your family directly, they may affect your interests in directly later on through their effects on your neighbor’s children. Therefore, it behooves us of this generation to look more and more to the interest of our children. They will be the men of tomorrow and will fill their places in a better community in direct proportion to the consideration you give them now. A Y. M. C. A. w-ill make for a higher level of citizenship for your For Promotion of ; community”.—Dr. Fred C. Hubbard. “An individual or community is no stronger than its Christian character. Christian character is what a Y. M. C. A. builds”.—J. B. McCoy. “The most value of a Y. M. C. A. would be to have a place for our young people to seek wholesome entertainment, instead of shooting crap in the back alleys”.—R. M. Brame, Sr. , - “From information, the Y. M. C. A. has proved of great value and blessing to other towns. Why couldn’t it be of great value to North Wilkesboro?—S. V. Tomlinson. The “Y” will inspire our young people, perhaps more to clean living and higher ideals, than anything that has happened in our community for many years”.—J. R. Hix. “I’m wishing the Y. M. C. A. much suc cess, because I know it will help every one in our community—young people and old people”.—F. P. Blair. “The proposed Young Men’s Christian Association is perhaps the finest and most unselfish endeavor since the organization of the Christian Church in Wilkes County”. —Rev. A. C. Waggoner. “I can think of nothing that will mean more to our town and county, both from a Christian and civic standpoint, than a Y. M. C. A. As a builder of morale it can not be surpassed, and it will be a stronger fac tor in keeping our returning service men satisfied in the ‘Home Town’.”—Miss Lucy L. FTnley. Below we are reproducing another Y. M. C. A. picture. This one shows a Y. M. C. A. library scene. Boys and girls in all homes do not have the advantage of good reading matter. The Y. M. C. A. fills that need, among many others. By owioht’ nichoij' kkrwng huhbbr down— of late Is has Iwgwn look like ire’d liave to atart the firevorke and shoot off some readers In order to keep fhe nnm- l»r down to the prescribed 12. It Is-too straining on ns to write for more thui a dosen. But now wo have a better way of weaning them. If we or any of our staff hear of somebody reading this column we will put their names In here and say they road It. That will scare off any othera who might bp ten»pted, be cause nobody wants it said of them that they read our stuff. Attorney Harold Burke has been reading it, and that’s bad, because he was a nice fellow, and we heard of another preacher who reads It, and that’s worse, but we wonU: give his name. SHOBTBST YET— A man whose watch evidently was one hour slow went Into a lo cal church. The preacher was reaching the climax of hls sermon. ’The late arrival took hls seat, and at that instant the minister con cluded his sermon and dismissed the congregation. The man who was an hour late went out of the church muttering: “That silre was the shortest sermon 1 ever heard”. JUST IXXIKING— A store had en energetic mana ger who thought that it was worse than awful for a person to go out of the store without buying some thing. In order to impress upon his sales clerks the urgency of making a sale to every caller, he made a rule that a record must be made of every person who came in the store and went out without buying anything, and why, if could be known, nothing was pur chased. A lady came in, and after look ing at all the black dresses in the store she went out without buy ing anything. The record of that sale lost read like this: “Lady on ly looking at black dresses. No buying. Husband not dead yet”. BRIEFLY SPEAKING— Why does a red cow, give white milk which maker'fwKb'w butter, and why art blackberries red when they are green?. . , . The sergeant who operated a fruit store before entering the army had a habit of putting all the big men in front lines for review. . . . Not long ago a patrolman asked to see our driving license. He must have thought we had a special, extra kind, because he took one look at it and only grunted. . . . The social editor de scribing a wedding said “The bride wore dainty shoes that look ed like fairy boots. The linotype operator got it this way: “The bride wore dainty shoes that look ed like ferry boats*’. . . .
