THE JRANKLlN PRESS AND THE HIGHLANDS MACON IAN THURSDAY, JANUAftV X. 1941 PAGE TWO Highlights . - Of President's Inaugural Address To us there has ' come a time, in the midst of swift happenings, to pause for a moment and take stock "to recall what our place in his tory has been, and . to rediscover what we are and what we may be. If we do not, we risk the real peril of inaction. Lives of nations are determined not by the count of years, but by the lifetime of sthe human spirit. The life of a man is three-score years and teii : A little more, a little less; .-T'h life of a nation s the fullness of the measure of its will to live. There are men who doubt this. There are "men. who believe that democracy, as a form of govern ment and a frame of life, is limit ed or measured by a kind of mys tical and artificial fate that, for some unexplained reason, tyranny and slavery have become the surg ing wave of the future and that freedom is an ebbing tide. But we Americans know that this is not true. Heads War Board These later years have been liv ing years fruitful years for the people of this democracy. For they have brought to us greater .security and I hope, a better understand ing that life"s ideals are to be measured in other than material things.. have Democracy is not dying. We know it because we een it revive and grow. We know it cannot die because it is built on the . unhampered in itiative of individual men and wo men joined together in a common enterprise an enterprise undertak. rn and carried through by the free expression of' a free majority. We know it because democracy alone, of all forms of government, enlists the full force of men's en lightened will. We know it because democracy alone has constructed ah unlimited civilization capable of infinite prog ress in the improvement of human life. A nation, like a person, has a body a body that must be fed and clothed and' housed, invigorated and rested, in a manner that measures up to the objectives of our time. A nation, like a preson, has a mind a mind that must be lcept in formed and alert, that must know it.self, that understands the hopes Britain's famed Laborite, Ernest Bevin, has been named to head a "Big Four Brain Trust" which will direct war production in England.

AT -fit" lliT1TW"iiiiMMtiimi Comparison with the men (circled) near its tail gives an idea of the staggering: size of the Douglas B-19, which has been under construction for four years at Santa Monica, Calif., and is known as the "Hemisphere Defender." The plane, with a wing-spread of 212 feet and powered by four 2,000-horsepower motors, has a range of 7,500 miles and can carry a bomb load of 18 tons or 126 fully armed troops. Solons Study New Budget Gneiss By MRS. .&.J5.- MASHSURN- and the neejlsofJls nsigfefeerSsit 1)7 J. Moses of Murphy Route 'Trie other nations that live within the narrowing circle of the world. Something Deeper And a nation, like a person, has something deeper, something more permanent, something larger than the sum of all its parts. It is that something which matters most . to its future which calls forth the nio&t sacred guarding of its pres ent. ' And yet we all understand what it is the spirit the faith of Amer ica. It is the product of centuries. It was born in the multitudes of those who came from many lands r some of high degree, but mostly plain people who sought here, - early and late, to find freedom more freely. X The hopes of the republic can not forever tolerate either unde served poverty or self-serving wealth. Without the body and the mind, as all men know, the nation could not live. But if the spirit of America 'were killed, even though the na t ion's body and mind, constricted in an alien world, lived on, the America we know would have perished. In the face of great perils never before encountered, our strong purpose is to protect and to per petuate the integrity of democracy. . For this we muster the spirit of America, and the faith of America We do not retreat. We are not content to stand still. As Amer icans, we go forward, in the servJ ice of our country, by the will of God. - - mmmmimmiiii..fi:jimmtf-!iiim lit?
