BURNS' ADVICE "O let us not, like snarling curs, In wrangling be divided, Till, slap! come in an unco loun, And wi' a rung decide it!" When Robert Burns wrote those lines, England was in danger of invasion from the continent. Burns, disgusted with the wrangling and division in high quarters, struck the lyre in the vein above. He had little love for England and even less for the king who then occupied the throne. He recognized that there were wrongs within his own country. But, his love of freedom and of the people was so great that he was moved to rebuke the internal wrangling and call the people to the defense of Great Britain as a whole. The danger was acute, and only a united nmnle could renel it. r~ ? x * In our own country today there are many people who are more interested in their own pet ideas, their own selfish purposes, their personal gains and pleasures than they are in preserving the democratic way of life. At least this appears to be the case; but perhaps it is because they are incapable of invisioning the real danger that confronts us. It was Burns' passionate love of the people that actuated him to pen his lines calling for unity. "But while we sing 'God Save the King' We'll ne'er forget THE PEOPLE." It is the love of the plain people of this and other United Nations that is the moving power behind all our war activities. It is to save them from the terrors that stalk by day and the pestilence by night, and to prevent their enslavement, as the clock of time is turned back to the dark ages, that we fight and work. Let all dissimulation be done away. Let each of us forget the things that we will have to do without, to which we have become accustomed. Let us not think of tires and gasoline and sugar and what not. Let us wonder if somebody else is having an easier time in this war than we are. Let us concentrate all our thinking and all our j__ i.i : - _ i- i_T j. _ r _ eiions upon me mam juu, mat ui preserving uui country, ourselves, and our sacred liberties. "O let us not, like snarling curs, In wranglin be divided." JAMES M. WORLEY With the sudden passing of James M. Worley, the county lost one of its most prominent citizens, who made his impress upon the life of the county and region for more than half a century. A Republican in politics, Mr. Worley was strong in his convictions, and was diligent in promoting the political tenets in which he believed. A man with such strong convictions is bound to make his life felt in any county or community. He had the distinction of being the first of hi* political party to be elected sheriff of this county ir the days when the county was closer than is the case now, and when political convictions ran strong in the people. In any group of men, James M. Worley stood out as a leader. He served his people well as a sheriff, as a Unit ed States Deputy Marshal, and was always a citizer contending for what he believed to.be the right o1 things. Any man who holds strong convictions and is always ready to contend for them makes manj staunch friends. Such was the case of Mr. Worley. He was a generous, hospitable neighbor, and would gc to any inconvenience to serve a friend. So, another of the colorful, dynamic figures oj other days, that guided the destinies of our countj and region has gone from among us. 1 YOUR HOME MERCHANTS I ASK YOU TO "BUY AT HOME" m TI IN WASHINGTON . . . (Continued from Page One) lives since being exposed for a year in high school to a course in General Science?Mr. Durham summed up the whole situation in one sentence. "We are so short of so many strategic materials including raw materials, metals and chemicals that one shortage leads to another and bottlenecks the entire synthetic production." This being translated into our own lives means a definite tire shortage, as well as a lack of rubber all the way down the line. That's one reason why Mr. Durham has always advocated national gasoline rationing?it will cut down on the use of rubber even in communities where oil runs more freely than water. Representative John H. Folger not only believes in putting the entire country on a gasoline rationing program, but he also advocates the 35-mile an hour SDeed limit throughout the land, j I ... The tire shortage is wreaking ! havoc with mail service on star | j routes handled by automobile j and truck in North Carolina, ac- ' cording to Representative Herbert C. Bonner, of the First DisJ trict. "This is due to the Interstate ; ; Commerce Committee having authorized railroads to disconi tinue certain trains in recent years, thus making it necessary ! to handle more mail by motor transportation," Bonner declar| ed. "The contractors for star j ! routes are now having trouble delivering the mail for lack of | tires." To meet this situation, the j Post Office Department has aui thorized local postmasters to give contracts for nearby rural service in star route areas to any I subcontractor who has the tires ! to do the job. Bonner referred specifically to ; an unusually long star route 1 running from Norfolk, Va? to ' Wilson, N. C., and said that tire difficulties were hampering serv! ice on this route, most of which I runs through his district. The route is covered each way every I night by big trucks that stop at j every post office, he explained, j * * * I t ; Mayor Richard J. Reynolds of j i Winston-Salem, now in Naval Air Combat Intelligence Training ! School at Quonset Point, R. I., has resigned as Treasurer of the Democratic National Commit! tee, a post to which he was appointed almost two years ago, it was learned today on reliable authority. The resignation is reported to have been accepted. No successor has been named thus far. Edward Pauley, of California, secretary of the Committee, is acting Treasurer, and Miss Mae Oliver of Sanford and Ral- | eigh, secretary to Mr. Reynolds at the Committee, continues as assistant treasurer. The Mayor resigned as Treas- j urer, it was learned, because he felt it would not be right to hold . a strictly political position while he was in the Nation's armed forces. He was commissioned a lieutenant senior grade in the Navy late in the Spring, spent eight weeks in basic training for the Naval Air Corps at Quonset and then was promoted into the intelligence school, one of a class of 100 selecetd for the honor. When the Maiyor entered the Navy, the National Committee announced he was taking a leave of absence. It is possible the post may be open and waiting ' for him should the war be of " reasonably short duration. L ' Hunter Addresses | Alpha Phi Sigma ' Cullowhee, Sept. 23 (Special)? J With the central theme of the [ "Responsibility of the Intelligent," Dr. H. T. Hunter addressed the members of Alpha Phi Sigma at the initial meetL ing of the fraternity Thursday t night in the Student Union building. After commenting upj on the proper evaluation and ap. preciation of the brain and the ' development and dedication of ' our gift of intelligence, President ) Hunter pointed out that the intelligent person ought to make f a special contribution to democracy. The following persons were awarded the rank of novice de~ gree at the meeting: Max Beam, Charles Bird, Carolyn Blankenship, Phyllis Dillard, Rebecca Greenlee, Maxine Brookshire, Barbara Young, Helen Hartshorn, Audette Richey, Madeline IE JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL Dramatics Club Holds First Meet Cullowhee, Sept. 23 (Special)? Fifty students attended the first meeting of the Western Carolina Players, Tuesday evening, in the little theater. Vance Robertson, president, welcomed the freshmen and new members, and expressed his appreciation for the fine cooperation on the part of the freshmen at the first meeting. He also expressed confidence in the success the club would make during the coming year. Jeanne Bennett, president of Alpha Psi Omega, explained the requirements of this honorary dramatic society. Each member of this society is required to have performed one major or minor part in plays produced by the Carolina Players. Miss Mabel Tyree, the sponsor, outlined the plans for productions of the coming quarter. tvio hpq?yi!?i->s piass will ffive a major Christssas production just before the Christmas va- L cation. Rehearsals will begin immediately on this play. "Smilin' Through," has been chosen for the fall offering of the players. Plans for the production have not yet been completed, but negotiations are now in progress for the consummation of these plans. Miss Tyree also gave the 1942 financial report, stating that the i income for the year 1941-42 was $381.31. Mr. Robertson expressed the j regret of the entire club on los- ! ing so many of the male mem- : bers to the service of the coun- j try. He said they were proud to ! have these men in the service of the United States of America, j but regretted to lose such fine i ( rlramatic talent. John Jordan,) ^resident of the club for two j consecutive years, is now in the Naval Medical Corps, stationed if Norfolk Virginia. !, "v * " I ( Edith Cherry, vice president j 1 tnd program chairman, present- : ( d Miss Essie Mae Hall in a vo- i *nl sojo, "Who Wouldn't Love i vou," accompanied by Dorothy Thompson.

I 1. When the bombs actually start dropping, everyone should -un like heck?it doesn't matter where?the point is to keep go- i ing at top speed. If possible wear track shoes. This will aid you in getting over the slow people who ?et in your way. 2. Be sure to take advantage 3f the situation, in case of a blackout. If in a bakery, grab a pie; if in a tavern, grab a bottle; if in a movie, grab a blonde. 3. If an incendiary bomb falls near you, pour gasoline on it, jrou can't put it (5ut anyway, so you might as well have some fun. 4. If a bomb fails to go off, pick it up and bounce it on the ground; the fuse might be stuck! [f this doesn't work, place it in a furnace so it will be warming up while you call the Fire Department to take care of it. 5*. If you receive a direct hit by a bomb, keep calm and don't ?o to pieces, just lie still and the sanitation squad will be along to take care of you. 6. During actual bombing raid, you should tear your hair, yell as loud as possible and scream Dloody murder, this will scare ihe devil out of the kids. 7. Before going into an air raid shelter, you should eat generous portions of onions, garlic and imberger cheese. This will help relieve the congested air situation found in these shelters. 8. Do not let an air-raid warden tell you what to do. If he gets tough, knock him down. Everyone knows that the wardens keep the best seats for themselves and their friends. By order of Major Gen. Death: I. M. DEAD, Capt. Hell Hole, Adjutant. JLost and found columns of | Tokio newspapers are crowd^ ed these days. Every time an American buys a War Bond, f the Japs lose face.
