BIBLE THOUGHT
And we know that all things work together for good to
thef that love Ood, to them who are the called according to
his purpose. ?ROMANS 8:28.
, ? ? ?
"THOUGH the old alchemists failed to transmute lead In
to gold, they broke the path to modern chemistry. There is an
alchemy of the spirit. Christians knew It from the first; the
secret of transmuting suffering; of knowing that by loving God
all things work together for good to them."
Way Open For North Carolina
Service Men And Women To Vote
are glad to note that the coast is clear in
North Carolina for men and women in the
armed forces to vote in the national election. The
complicated question that has been through so
many contortions in Congress has been too con
fusing for the average citizen to follow.
President Roosevelt's wise move in asking the
Governors of the States to state the position of
their states in the matter has clarified the whole
Issue for the people at home whose one wish is
that their sons and daughters shall not be disfran
chised by their government which has sent them
to face a deadly foe. Constitutional hair-splitting
and States Rights mystic mazes that have been
carried on bv some politicians and the efforts of
others to simplify them have not helped the mor
ale of fighter on the battle front or home front.
We believe that all patriotic Americans wish
to see every facility afforded our men and women
on foreign soil and serving outside their states to
cast their votes for the candidates of their choice
in the national election. The citizens of North
Carolina are united in the wi^h that their men
and women in uniform be allowed to exercise their
voting privilege. We are glad that the way is now
open.
Rich Pastures
Of Macon County
'"PO follow the highways and unpaved county
* roads of Macon county is to tnake a tour of
the rich pasture lands of this prosperous county.
The lush lowlands bounding the many streams that
flow through rtie county, as well as the sweeping
hillsides, are eloquent with the potential as well as
developed riches available for cattle raising and
dairy industries. What Mr. Slagle, Mr. Addington,
and a few others have done to develop Grade A
dairies and purebred cattle could be multiplied
many times by others with the enterprise and hard
work whidh these men have put into their projects.
They have pointed the way, and have made possi
ble a substantial contribution to the wartime scar
city of milk milk products and beef.
For postwar planning, this county should mark
well the potentialities of Macon's rich p/ptures
for one of the most satisfying phases of modern
farming. With rural electricity, fine climate and
good land, it is possible to create a veritable para
dise with, hard work and brains mixed into these
ingredients.
Letters to Editor
The following letter was re
ceived on March 28, from Sgt.
J. C. Jacobs, and is much ap
preciated:
Dear Mrs. Johnson:
"The Service Man's Edition"
of THE FRANKLIN PRESS and
THE HIGHLANDS MACONIAN
has just reached me here in
the Mediterranean Theatre, and
I would like to take this oppor
tunity to express to you, and to
your staff, my sincerest con
gratulations for your magnifi
cent work. This, our own coun
ty newspaper, has proven inval
uable to me throughout almost
two years service with the Arm
ed Forces overseas. While sta
tioned in England, and then in
North Africa, it brought me
periodically in contact with my
friends and the various hap
penings at home. It continues
to do so here in Sardinia. I am
sure that all of Macon County's
many men and women in the
service, appreciate your gener
osity in publishing the wide
variety of home news that is of
so much interest to us.
With very best wishes to you
and the The Franklin Press and
The Highlands Maconian in the
future, I remain,
Sincerely yours,
J. C. JACOBS.

"Got your Post-war
Car picked out yet?. . .
I "Sura, we're all short of help (hose
dayi ? and I may need a little more
time, but you can depend on me to
do these jobs carefully:"
Oil must be changed? old, worn
out oil drained and fresh, strong
Esso Motor Oil in the summer
grade correct for your car put In.
The chassis must be lubricated
from stem to stern? at every point
where wear might become serious.
The older your car gets, the more it
needs this lubrication.
The battery needs an examination,
too. Maybe it should have a full
charge for quick summer starts.
The radiator should be drained of
all sediment, and fresh water put
in. Couplings may need tighten
ing, or replacing.
The tires must be checked for signs
of wear or damage. Maybe switch
ing 'em around can balance the
wear, give you additional tire life
now when you need it most!
The transmission and differential
are important? let me look 'em
over and make sure they have the
proper lubrication.
"Mister, you're probably driving it right now...
and if you don't think so, think this over...
' T"7 veryone who ought to know
JL-V agrees there just won't be new
cars for everyone until quite a
while after the war.
"That means the only car you're
apt to have for a long time is the
one you've got right now. So take
care of it as you never have before!
"I can help a lot? if you'll let me.
I've got the equipment and the reli
able Esso products that will really
save wear. Just let me go over your
car regularly? especially right now,
between Winter and Summer.
"Look at the check list of things
that need doing, and let's start get
ting them done.
"All these things won't cost
much. They won't take long. But
they're important for your trans
portation if they get done now.
"And I can't do it alone. You've
got to bring the car in? let's start
today ? what say?"
