WE’VE IMITCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR Thanksgiving Day wil be cel ebrated in numerous ways in the Sandhills. F'ootball fans will hurry off to their favorite col leges. Some will seek pleasure on the golf links and tennis courts, while bridle trails and country roads will appeal to others. Ekb- orate dinners, modest dinners and lean ones will be sensed over the county, with ever>’- thing on the menu from turkey to side meat and turnip tops, each one bringing about as much satisfaction and enjoyment as the other. Sandhill homes aren’t in dai>- ger of having their roofs blown away by enemy guns. We aren’t forced to worship any ruler, nor are we persuaded to do away with Christianity. We are not involved, as most of the world is, in chaotic disturbance. W'e are living in about as peaceful a spot as you can find any where on earth and it isn’t a bad time to take stock of some of the things we have to be thankful for. Since the first harvest the annual festival hasn’t changed as much as first thought. Our mercies exceed our tribulations. IGNORANCE AND CARELESSNESS Fire has two great allies. One is ignorance. The other is care lessness. With the help of these allies, fire consumes about $300,000,- 000 worth of i)ioperty each year—and, of infinitely greater importance, destroys some 10,- 000 human lives. Ignorance leads us to im properly repair electric cords, or put pennies behind burned-out fuses. Ignorance causes hazard ous building construction, with inadequate heating pipes, flues and fireplaces. Ignorance causes us to hang wet clothes on elec tric wires, to use wooden barrels for hot ashes, and to search for gas leaks with matches. Carelessness is an equally po tent friend of fire. It causes us to postpone needed repairs to heating plants, electric wiring, etc., on the grounds that “we’ll get around to it tomorrow or the next day.” It causes us to store junk in attics, and to leave in flammable liquids near stoves and heaters. It causes us to leave matches where they may be easily reached by the ignor ant hands of children. The old saw to the effect that “tomorrow may be too late” is especially applicable to the haz ards that breed firs. Alertness on the part of everyone would prevent the majority of Ameri ca’s fire«. The unprevcntable fire is extremenly rare. Ignor ance can be easily conquered if the individual wills—any fire insurance company or fire mar shal can provide you with the simple instructions that will serve to eliminate most common hazards. And knowledge of fire’s ghastly, unnecessary toll is all that any man should need to conquer the vice of carelessness.

PARLCR 'in LOCKrD CEMrufiy ecAiNS crsANi) V\’hen the funeral services were held last Sunday afternoon in ^he Church of Wide Fellowship for Miss Charlotte Erson, an unusual exhibi tion of friendship took place- The large congregation gathered for tlie purpose of honoring a single friend. | They didn’t assemble out of compas sion for the suffering of others. There were no relatives to commiser ate with or support. The outstanding ^ feature of the whole affair was that: any one person alone could summon 1 such a number in farewell in final I departure. | a Georgia forest last Friday night, killing seven fliers, flew over the Sandhills that afternoon. On a rou tine flight fi'om Mitchc! field, Long Island, it followed the beams to Fort Kiagg then cut aero?? to Southern Pines where it picked up the tracks of the Seaboara railway to guide it farther south. X Moore county Democrat visiting Pennsylvania Republicans sends down from the North a paragraph listed under some New Definitions. ‘'Socialishi means that if you have two cows you give one to your neighbor. Under Communism you ?ivc both cows to the government, which gives you back some of the milk. Under Fascism you keep the i cows but give the milk to the gov- j ernment. which gives you some of I it back- And under New Dealism you i .«hoot one cow, milk the other and then pour the milk down the sink. Aunt Malissie had heard something about some new nickles being made, and she asked for further light when .«he dropped in with the week’s wash ing. She was hard to satisfy. “Humph, ef dey don't git you no mo’ dan de old ones do, whats de use to bodder makin' mo'?” Ah reck on de jus’ trabble so fast, dey get wore out quicker dan dey uster.” We thought it as good a reason as any, and let it drop. The Sunday Raleigh News & Ob. server carried two feature stories from the Sandhills. A page by Carl G- Thompson told the interesting history of the little Aberdeen & Rockfish Railroad which runs from Aberdeen to Fayetteville, a connect ing link between the Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard. A front page story, with several illustrations, told about the Robin Hood Farms, now in the making at the old Manice Or. chard near Pinehurst, “a unique pro ject in free vocational education that in time may make North Caro, lina nationally famed for its agricul tural progress.” The plan out there is to let needy youths earn their own living on the farm, acquiring valuable experience and instruction from a trained faculty as they go along. There’s a financial campaign on now for funds for the project. PINEBLUFF Miss Louise Britton and H. R. Britton arrived Friday from their home in Great Kiles, Staten Island, N.

Those not wishing to play bridge, may come for tea at four thirty. This party was scheduled for the Trousdell home, but a change In plans necessitated a change of hostesses. “Progress may be allright, com- plans the old timer, but it sure can take a lot of enjoyment out of some things.” The old timer was agitated over a discussion concerning the new electric train for the Seaboard. Brought up on the friendly and so- i cialable arrival of the morning trains, | dropping off and picking up pai^en- [ gers, he hailed the mighty Diesel lo- | comotive with its streamlined cargo I as an event to look forward to. Ern- | eat Bailey, the local ticket agent, | took the sunshine out of the affair when he informed his listeners that the new train will pass through Sou thern Pines on the southbound trip around mid-night and will reach town about 2:00 a. m. on its return jour, ney, with no stops betweefl Washing, ton and Georgia. “It’s just like In 2:00 o’clock eclipses. It will be strictly a night event, and who wants to get up to see a 2:00 o’clock train?” The old timer has always had a warm Interest in the railroads and his loyalty has covered every bit of rolling stock that had wheels to turn on the rails. He was brought up on the energetic noise of the night trains climbing the Aberdeen grade, announcing their approach with a melodious whistle ind telling with a fair degree of ac. ’uracy the hour of the night. He liked the night trains. He also liked "he daylight divlslon- "Those new contraptions will be so quiet you won’t even know when they are coming In.” Silent, smooth and swift the haughty electric Die. ?el will sw'eep up to the station and be gone with meteoric grace.
