WILL IT PAY THE RACE TO SA'vE ENGLAND? o For some time now the chief concern of America has been to save England, as though the preservation of civilization depend ed on it. Suppose Germany should annex England. What dif ference would it make to the world? England itself is smaller than North Carolina. All the British Isles are about the size of j the two Carolinas. The population is only about one-third that of the United States. A great deal of the land is laid out in play and hunting grounds and parks. The dominant classes are the rich and the nobility. The mass of the people are working people. England is largely sup ported by the British colonial possessions outside the island. In these lands are great sections waiting for colonists. They could well absorb till the 50,000,000 people on the Isles and still there : would be room for others. Should the war torn islands emigrate to Canada, in a few decades that country would be far richer and more powerful than the present England. If Hitler gets the lit tle islands, what can he do with them, and how would it affect the rest of the world? On the other hand, suppose the United States seeks to save Britain. It has already cost our country almost as much to pre pare for war as England is worth. Before the war is over, it will probably cost us far more than that country is worth. Not only will we sacrifice our wealth, but it is possible before the war is over that we shall sacrifice more lives than if ail England’s sol diers perish. We believe the American people are just as valu able to the race as the English. So what have democracy and hu manity gained if we lose more than we save? Just now the whole people in England might be removed with small loss, but to try to save them where they are, no one can estimate the loss before victory comes, if ever. The United States can make de mocracy safe and preserve it in the Western Hemisphere and that is enough, unless it could be done with far less cost and sacrifice. We believe the above suggestion is practical. However, we have no idea of its being undertaken. Our national leaders are obsessed with the idea of going to England’s rescue. As often said, we believe war is wholly unchristian except in self-defense. Yet, if America ever intends to enter the conflict, now is the time, while Germany is occupied on the Russian front. If we wait till Hitler overcomes Russia and comes into possession of her rich oil and grain fields and comes home victorious, we fear it will be too late for America to do anything effect'vely to save England. England has lost every battle so far in the war. And in each case, except in North Africa, she was at least “one jump” behind Germany. The army that takes the offensive always has the ad vantage. An offensive begun now by the Allies on the western front will be greatly to their advantage. On such a move ulti mate victory depends, if it is to be had at all. So. we hope, if America must enter the conflict, she will do so just as quickly as possible. Yet, we must remember that no matter what results come, it will be at a terrible cost and that probably our country and the world will in the end lose far more than we shall gain for humanity. oOo WHAT’S IN A NAME? o A marriage license was granted by Register of Deeds Ellington in Raleigh Monday to Frank Wesolowski and Rose Homontowski.

I DISTRIBUTORS f , LITTLE RIVER REFLECTIONS Howdy Neighbor: So you fell in the river, eh? You look "kinda” funny with your clothes all wet. But you took it good naturedly. A sense of hutnor is a fine thing to have. Many funny things happen, and if we can laugh ltis helpful to us, es pecially in such critical times. Reminds me of the old man who was eating in the restaurant, and glanced at the calendar of a bath ing beauty on the wall. “You know,” he said, “it’s a shame to : have such things displayed, but l sure love to taok at them.” A i church officer went to a meeting, ! and had to spend several nights I away from home. At night he found himself in a predicament, for his wife had always tied his bow tie for him He knew if he untied it he could not tie it again, j but had to undress for bed. Fin ! ally he decided to sleep with his | shirt on, and thus not have to bother the tie. This he did for several nights. Bet his shirt was badly wrinkled! A girl from the city had enjoyed eating country ham, and asked her daddy what part of the cow the ham came | from. A minister had to perform ! a wedding out in the county. : When he arrived both the man j and woman had on dresses. He asked the man if he did not want | to put on his suit, to which he j replied that he would not put | on a suit, but would change his skirt.lt was hard for the minister to tell them apart as they stepped before him for the ceremony, j j Two men went on a fishing trip j down to Morehead, and one of j them went to sleep in a beach j chair. The other remarked, “He could not sleep when so much was to be seen." “Laugh and the world laughs with you; growl and you get a thousand back.” The Sage of L. R.

Do you pick up the re ceiver promptly when your telephone rings, or do you sometimes delay a little? You know, unless you. an swer a call just as soon as you can, the calling party may think you’re absent and hang up . . . And it might be an important call you’ve missed. And how about your HANG-UP? When making a call, be slow to hang up if you don’t get an answer im mediately. The person you’re calling may be some distance away from his tel ephone or otherwise un able to answer promptly. So allow his telephone to ring until you’re sure no one is going to answer. Just a few moments wait ing on your part will save you time in the long run, because you’ll complete more calls. u QUICK on the pick-up.:* SLOW ON THE HMO-UP.: And you'll get more satisfaction from your telephone service Sovtherd Bell Telephoiie Ann TELEGRAPH COmPADS INOORPORATKO THE ZEBULON RECORD Rolesville Mrs Daylon R .vrs and chil dren are visiting Mrs. Rogers parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Robertson Miss Ellen Ruth Williams of Chapel Hill is visiting her par ents, Mr. and Mr- C.
