Those conditions which make
necessary the expansion of our
armed forces are as unwelcome
as they are un-American. But in
the upheaval which has been
forced upon the coilntry we of
the Sandhills find ourselves ex
tremely fortunate. During the
past fortnight many army offi
cers assigned to duty at our
neighboring Fort Bragg have
sought us out and found here a
place of abode during their tour
of service at the post. They have
brought their families with
them.
It gives The Pilot more than
ordinary pleasure to extend to
these newcomers, on behalf of
Pinehurst and Southern Pines, a
most cordial welcome to our
midst. Our gates are wide open.
We here are one happy, con
tented family; we want you to
feel at home with us, to share
our pleasures b..nd comforts, our
simple life.
There has always been a close
and pleasant relationship be
tween the Sandhills and Fort
Bragg. It is particularly pleas
ing that we are now more close
ly cementing these relations by
the presence among us as fellow ^;;;7ptionanr good generally'
citizens, of so many fine Army] j' & u s
families.

recently. “Thus, one of the in
dubitable causes of the ruin of
France was the savagery with
which the politicians attacked
one another and intrigued
against one another. Not only
did the fury of their partisan
ship render impossible a coher
ent and effective policy: the
manner in which public men as
sassinated the honor of public
men bred a cynicism and con
temptuous indifference which
devitalized the people.”

some distressing examples of

At the quarterly meeting of the

the following program of the U. S.
Junior Chamber was approved:
I. Compulsory Military Training,
by Federal Statute, which statute
shall be in effect for two years only
from date of ratification.
II. Coordination of Labor, Busi-
ne.ss, and Capital,
III. Immediately increased action
to build the most powerful Navy and
Air Force in the world.

In Recorder’s Court Monday, Leo

An additional sentence of four

for use in manufacturing whiskey.

not agree wtih their views, they
are abused unreasonably.
Iln contrast with this is an in

Wendell Willkie—who soundly
rebuked the audience for its
shameful treatment of his oppo-
rient. It is a cardinal principle of
democracy that all sides be
heard—and that the same priv
ilege of free expression be ex
tended to those with whom we
disagree, no less to those with
whom we agree. Let that prin
cipal perish and democracy
perishes. If we are to be per
mitted to hear only the voices
of those representing one side,
we will have dictatorship.

The Junior Chamber believes that
the Army should be enlarged and
young men trained for any fighting
that may be necessary; also that the
rapid supply of materials, including
mechanized equipment, demands co.
ordination of labor, capital and in
mind dustry. It urges an adequate num
ber of airplanes and ships properly
manned, and condemns delay and red
tape as unpatriotic and dangerous,
asking immediate action, regardless
of cost. "The We.stem Hemisphere
will not be attacked if the United
States possesses the greatest Navy
and Air Force in the world,” it says.
But, the organization adds, in ex
plaining its action, ‘‘We believe that
every precaution should be taken to
prevent militasy conscription from
giving any militaristic group the op
portunity to sway this country
against Its democratic ideals or breed
in us a militaristic attitude towards
the world at large.”

Huge Improvement in
Gulf Gasolines
To measure the quality of a gasoline, no
hocus-pociis is needed.
There is a scientific test that shows the
comparative anti-knock value of any motor
fuel.
The shorter figure above represents the
former “mark” in that test of GOOD GULF.
But look at the second figure! It shows pre.
cifiely how much the NEW GOOD GULF
has been stepped up—a step up so great that
this great gasoline now surpasses North Car
olina sp>eciiications for premium fuels. Try
Good Gulf and see what a difference it makes
in your car.
Above, at left, is the pre-improvement
“mark” of GULF NO-NOX—fcr years one
of America’s best premium gasolines.
But hang on to that hat again as you look
at the other figure! It shows how much
GULF NO-NOX has been lifted over its old
high—a high that by far exceeds No,-th Car
olina specifications for premium fu« . And
when you consider that the old NO-NOX
' was knockproof under all normal driving
conditions, you will marvel at the perform
ance this new gas gives.
