WE MAY PULL THROUGH AFTER ALL Things get so kind of quiet around here in the summertime we begin to wonder if we aren’t at a standstill. We get a little pessimistic about the future, wear sour faces, talk about how bad business i.‘?, and wish we were at the beach or up in the mountans. Cheer up, Folks! Hearken ye for a moment to some evidence that all is not lost, that we may pull through after all: Within the last month one Southern Pines real estate agent alone has sold four houses and one building lot, and leased oth er houses. Another has just sold a residence. Others have sales and rentals soon to be announc ed. A large new home is in pro cess of building in the Knoll- wood section, with bright pros pects for further construction there. Several downtown stores are enlarging their quarters. Our tweed factory is expanding. A new business block will rear its head on West Broad street early this fall- Now we’ll all join in singing that good old Woi'lil War song, “Pack up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag and Smile, Smile, Smile” THE POCKETBOOK V KNOWLEDGE THE UNlTfP STATIS C0N5UME5 Of THE VWORIPS ItUMFR PRODUCTION I fiftttNCH} ANP h i5tl,85*6363 ANN va'TRou..

It means that several thous and Americans have purcha.sed half a billion dollars additional protection, to be paid them in the future when they need it most. It means that children will be educated—dependents left economically secure—old age made happy and independ ent for workers. It means earned “social secur ity” brought by a foresighted and individualistic peoplfe who are determined not to become v-a^’da of government.
