With this issue, The Pilot loses a valuable foster parent- For the finst time since 1928, this pioneering Sandhills weekly “went to bed” without being tucked in by Nelson C. Hyde. We know that “Nelse” leaves for greener fields but we are confident that in those greener fields he will not soon forget the brown, pine-strawed fields of the Sandhills and the nearly 14 years he devoted to this section as editor, interpreter and friend of this country and its people.

RAIN, RAIN CO AWAY— Weather is a subject that 9oes not respond readily to editorial suggestion. Come a spell of hot or rainy or cold or inclement weather, and new\spaper editors! begin to rant at the weather man I to bring about some change.) But that old element, like 01’! Man River, is heedless to the frantic protests of the shapers of public opinion. After that gulley-washer and trash-mover, which apparently descended throughout the Caro- linas Sunday, we would like to commend the rain for getting a summer dow'npour out of its sys tems and implore it to withhold any further demonstrations of its cloudburst activities for another year. After heat complaints which have been heard recently, we find it rather difficult to protest this relief; but would suggest that there can be too much of even a good thing.

TWey'RE COOi-EASy ON MY THROAT_ AND TASTE SO GRAND IVHATS MORE,IN THE SMOKE OF CAMELS THERE'S UESS NICOTINE 1941 ‘X.- COMMITNIQUES MAKE THE WAR In attempting to judge a man’s opinion concerning the progress of World W'ar II on the eastern front, a nece.ssary ques tion is, “Whose communiques do you read?” War news these days is cov ered chiefly from the censor’s office in the several countries concerned. Eye-witness accounts are rare, and most of these are carefully supcrvi.sed by propa ganda officials. The “news” read today may turn out a disappoint ment or a cheer tomorrow. Since the attack of Hitler and his Nazi forces upon the Soviet Union and its forces, from Berlin daily come cinfident as surances of immediate victory, coupled with vague but colorful descriptions of battles won. FVom Moscow similar bulletins emanate, a few admitting de feats and mistakes; but most of them likewise vague and not toe convincing. Much of the story of the First World War was written during the fighting; but the whole story was not told, if at all, until long after the fighting ceased. Indications are that very little fact of World War II is being told in the daily papers; but will be fresh material for the histor ians of the winners. For history is written by the survivors.
