For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the Inward man is renewed day by day ...

II Corinthians 4:14, 16, 18. ? ? * Let us use this season to enter injo a fellowship with our Lord so close that we may be agents of his purpose, not claim ing Him as the Champion of our cause, but dedicating our cause and ourselves to Him that we may bear what suffering comes, in union with His suffering, and be able to make Vic tory, if He grants it to us, the means of fuller service to Him. ?Easter Message of the Archbishop of Canterbury and York. Post War Planning For Macon County Service Men THE meeting of the Franklin Chamber of Com * merce last Friday evening convinced all pres ent of one thing ? that those at home representing the varied business and social interests of the county are vitally interested in planning to keep our men at home when t'hey return. The future of this country, its progress and prosperity, is to a large degree being affected by the kind of leadership afforded now while the best of our young men are scattered over the face of the earth, engaged in a dirty job that few of them relish. We at home are custodians of tfieir home interests in their absence. First of all there is the longing in their hearts to come "home." Home means not only family and friends but it means a way to make a living and to fulfill the rightful ambitions of every young man. Some may seek other fields and other locations, but the natural riches of this county should furnish sufficient in centive to the most able of Macon sons to return home after the war and help develop their own beautiful homeland. Seeing other parts of the world less favored than ours should be another determining factor in bringing back home our world:travelled and world tired soldiers and sailors. Holding out to them opportunities for earning a good living and a hap py environment for their families is the duty of those at home now. Upon their vision and plan ning will rest the future of many of our fighting men: If disillusionment and disappointment should greet even one when he comes home it will most likely be because those at home have failed him. T!his is a fask which demands the combined ef forts of all interrelated groups. The Chamber of Commerce might well become the rallying point and the logical organization for unifying all these efforts. Right now, Mr. Sloan's suggestion that this agency assume the responsibility of collecting all names and information of Macon men and women scattered abroad so that a complete roll for refer ence may be available and that closer touch may be retained during service, is a wise and timely one. It is a good beginning towards that post-war planning for them tlhat is the wish of all. "Our Foreign Policy" /"?OR DELL Hull answered his critics last week. ^ The average citizen is more apt to be confus ed than convinced by the wordy wranglings of partisaa-minded people who have been saying from many rostrums and columns that "We have no foreign policy." After the persuasive and reasonable radio speech of the strong, well-poised man from Ten nessee who has guided the Slhip of State these twelve hard years, the rank and file are inclined to Continue to trust Cordell Hull's foreign policy. Whether they listened through the whole of his one-hour speech or to only parts, in their minds when it was over the white-haired statesman loom ed large and his critics exceedingly small. This faithful servant of his country and ex ponent of a world good-neighbor policy, which knows not the word "foreign," spoke to all the world./ To the peoples of the conquered countries- he stated that the United Nations have no intentions hut to help them establish strong, progressive, popular governments. ^fe promised that the time was near at hand when the U. S. would crack down on Axis-aiding neutrals. He urged patience in the matter of settling boundary questions in Europe while fighting is still in progress, and re minded the impatient that blueprints for world organization could not be drawn overnight. Mr. Hull said he would seek participation of Congress on a bi-partisan basis in formulation of policy at the proper time. In conclusion, he said "Our foreign policy, is comprehensive, is stable, and is known of all men." We could only pray that this 72-year-old Secre tary of State would be with us through the dan gerous s!hoals and rocks ahead. Offhand, we can think of no one we would be willing to trust with his job. , Thanks I wish to express my sincere thanks to all of Sallie's dear friends and loved ones, for the many beautiful flowers, get-well cards, letters of sympathf and encouragement, one-a-day pres ents, kind words, and especially the prayers by everyone who knew her, both white and color ed. The wonderful attention given her by her doctors and nurses, and to those who prepared her meals with such care and pains, and the little tray girl who al ways greeted her with a smile and the paper man, who never failed each morning to deliver her a paper with a smile and a good morning, ::Aunt Sallie," all of which meant much to her, and made her happy dur ing her illness at Angel's Hospi tal. I furthermore wish to ex press my sincere thanks to everyone for the love and re spect shown her after hef pass ing away, whlcM was indeed proved by the beautiful flowers they placed upon her grave, and the many kind deeds otherwise. Her pastor for the beautiful sermon he delivered, and the pastors of other churches, who assisted with her funeral. The choir, and flower girls, the pall bearers and those who donated cars, also the policemen, who looked after the traffic and the boys who sat by her casket and guarded her body during her last night on earth. I know now that I can never do enough to repay any of you for it all, but I am going to try. BILL MOORE.

Good Facilities POTTS FUNERAL HOME Phone 164 Franklin, N. C. From where I sit ... 61/ Joe Marsh A dog story with a happy ending Lem Martin's dog went on a rampage last week... killed four of Ed Carey's best hens. Naturally, Ed was pretty mad. Went around vowing he was go ing ^o get his shotgun ana blow the blazes out of Lem's dog when he saw him. And Lem says, "Let him try it and I'll blow the blazes out of him. Ought to keep his chickens locked up, anyhow." But Ed and Lem are really mighty sensible fellows. And the whole thing was settled when Lem Invited Ed over for a glass of beer, and they sat around chatting over the quarrel as if It were a kind of Joke. "Shucks," says Ed, "them hens didn't amount to much no how." And Lem says: "Just the same I'm bringin' you a barrel o' apples to pay for 'em." From where I sit, it would be a lot better for the world if folks would settle their arguments peaceful-like? sitting around oyer a friendly glass of beer? instead of going off half-cocked, and making mountains out of molehills.
