Thursday, February 16, 1950 Dollar Days Excellent Opportunity To Save Dollar Days will be staged here Friday and Saturday of this week. This special event is planned and ar ranged by the Trade Promotion committee of the Wilkes Chamber of Commerce. Dollar Days were held here for the first time under auspices of the committee last August, and many fine values were offer ed by merchants. Customers found that their dollars were buying more than at any time in ten years. This year the event is better organized and more attractive values v?ill be offered than ever before. The event is designed to expand the trading area by attracting new customers to the Wilkesboros, but every customer will share in the savings. Dollar Days advertisements in this newspaper give an indication of the val ues offered. Many of them will represent the best values in many years. Quality of merchandise offered during this event is very definitely higher, and prices are low er, all of which means it will be well worth while to shop extensively in the Wilkes boros Friday and Saturday. Peaceful Peoples Must Penetrate Iron Curtain Russia has grown to a gigantic threat to the entire civilized world. Little doubt remains of the fact that Russia has the atomic bomb, and may be well on toward construction of the hydro gen bomb, which would be far more deva stating than any atomic bombs which have been exploded. The hydrogen bomb, we are told, may be so powerful as to contaminate and poison the atmosphere for hundreds or perhaps thousands of miles from the scene of explosion. If made according to beliefs of some scientists, the hydrogen bomb might well be the instrument of destruc tion of the human race and all life. The millions of Russians are ruled by a small group headed by Stalin. They are given only such information as the rulers vtant them to have, and no opposition to the government is tolerated. The Russian people will never learn from their own sources that hydrogen bomb warfare could wipe them out. Some way the other people of the world must penetrate the iron curtain with in formation and the Russian people must be informed that their leaders are carrying them, and perhaps the rest of the world, to eventual devastation or destruction. While in the interest of self defense we build the hydrogen bomb, and while we strive through the United Nations for peaceful settlement of international dif ferences, we cannot afford to forget that the Russian people must be informed of true facts. That is the most important and most difficult task facing the peace loving peoples of the world today. Russia's power must be destroyed from within. And in the meantime every effort should be put forth by every free nation to safeguard their own position and see that communist do not destroy them from within. The business man who depends on luck usually finds that when he needs it most, he hasn't got much of it. Maze Of Government Moves Is Puzzling Anyone who tries to keep informed on the doings of the United States Govern ment's maze of bureaus and agencies is. apt to take with a grain of salt the govern ment's claim that higher taxes are needed. The Press Telegram, a big newspaper published at Long Beach, California, has had much to say regarding a government proposal to irrigate land in central Ari zona with waters from the Colorado river. The newspaper's opposition to the proj ect hinges on the following three items: (1) The taxpayers of America are ask ed to subsidize irrigation works costing $1,858 an acre in order to put water on land worth less than $300 an acre. (2) The Federal treasury would pay out benefits averaging $550,000 to each one of a favored 420 private land holders. (3) $738,000,000 or more would be spent to put water on land that will be used to grow more surplus crops that will | require more Federal subsidies. At the same time that such projects as outlined above are brought to the front i and often carried out at enormous costs,! the government appropriates nothing for flood control in the Yadkin valley. But for a small group in central Arizona the government would, if the bills pass, | spend one hundred times as much as flood control would cost in the upper Yadkin valley. -TH E EVERYDAY COUNSELOR By Rev. Herbert Spa ugh, D. D. "Thank you" is a short sentence which brings long results. The editor of NOW magazine tells of seeing a'newsstand in the lobby of a hotel, over which was suspended the fallowing slogan, "Your Purchase Free If We Ever Forget To Thank You." Being curious, he explored the origin and made an interest ing discovery. ? "Back in the nineties, two brothers nam ed Hickey, one 12 years old and the other 17, sold newspapers in Davenport, Iowa. They never failed to thank their custo mers and became noted for their polite ness. "When they had saved $745 they decid ed to open a newspaper stand of their own, and to use as their slogan, 'Your Purchase Free If We Ever Forget To Thank You.' They prospered to such an extent that to day they have 100 establishments in 54 cities throughout the United States and one in Havana, Cuba. This slogan is faith fully lived up to by all their employees.' The editor comments, "This business built on courtesy is a standing rebuke to the prevalent spirit of unthankfulness." Not all people are unthankful, but too many are. Much of it reflects home train ing. Recently we have had several v good examples of good home training. My son, a college student, brought into our home several of his fellow students as dinner and over-night guests. Each time there came promptly to my wife a carefully penned note of appreciation. As they were away from home at college, the parents couldn't have told them to do it. It reflect ed good home training. Sometime ago I read a survey made in a large city as to tine number of people who took time to offer table grace. The results were depressing ? not more than 10 per cent. How rarely do we thank God for health, strength, soundness of mind, food, cloth ing, shelter, freedom, crops and harvest, prosperity, and for all good things, even for trials and troubles which lead us clos er to Him? x Too many of us are "too busy" to even say "Thank you" to those about us, to those who serve us, the paper boy, the postman, the delivery boy. Stop and think about those that you should thank. Per haps you should write a letter. Do it now! Then when you sit down to your next meal, don't forget to bow your head and thank God. When you lie down to sleep tonight, don't close your eyes until you have thank ed God for His goodness.
