The Germans an now outside the gates and while they may not lie driving directly toward us. the influence of Naziism is spreading'to new areas and creeping, ever-creeping closer to the shores of South America and to these United States Quite a few countries have bowed down in humble appeasement to feel the yoke of de pression and the iron heel of Hitler. Our rec ord aside from our high-sounding promises is as empty as a shell. We are doing much talking, but in action practice we are doing little bet ter than the appeasers before us If we do not do better, aren't we going to sacrifice lives and our common heritage just as other nations, large and small, have done, and in vain' Something ft rong Martin County is regarded as one of the best farming counties in the entire nation. It has a greater diversification of crops than possibly any other county in the State Its foreign-born population can be counted1 on the hands. And, yet, when it comes to comparative ranks, it is buried below sixty or more other counties. Just recently the University of North Caro lina released data showing the number of in habitants per passenger car in 1940 Martin County, ranking 62nd. has a passenger car for every nine and one-third persons as compared with the State average of one automobile for every seven inhabitants It is fairly apparent that with our crop diver sification and with a sprinkling of industrial ac tivity, we should hold a higher rank than we do Something is wrong somewhere Maybe in this case the automobile is not a dependable element in the measurement of wealth The number of aQTOmobiles jumped finm 16,410 in 1915 to 647.242 in 1940 in North .('.11111111.i Accompanying the increase in the miiiibci ol automobiles has been a correspond ing increase ill debt, including mortgages on land and homes. The plague of installment buy ing. applicable to the purchase of automobiles, has descended upon us, causing one to wonder if we really have a greater claim to real wealth today than we had a quarter of a century ago. I'i/te Dream Charlotte News. The resolutions of the United States Cham ber of Commerce, adopted in its session at Washington recently, are quite as astounding in their wa\r as John Lewis' demands at Har risburg. , - To recapitulate the news reports, they were: 1 No reduction of non-defense production to spei'd up defense production. 2 The reduction of new taxes proposed by the Treasury from $3,500,000,000 to $2,000,000, 000 Income taxes to pay only one billion of this, the rest to come out of the general public in sales and excise taxes. ?i Not only no reduction but an increase in production of non-defense goods to keep pace with consumer demand, to "head off inflation" (sic) That is not. you will observe, the "business as usual" policy which destroyed France and has come within an inch of destroying England. It is a policy of "business a dang sight better, than usual." with profits roaring in and some body i i'.e paying most of the taxi's Tli" idea flies straight in the face of what 1 ? ponsible men like Klltldsen have already pointed out.

And so is its talk about the "necessity of everybody's sacrificing" Ev erybody but its members, the hovs seem to mean. The Book of Our Bible School.... By REV. JAMES H. SMITH Pastor. H munition Memorial Baptist C hurch Last week, about this time, we 1 were getting ready to begin our , school; now we are in the very midst of it?a week of it is gone. More than twenty devoted christians have sacrificed themselves upon the altar ! of God to teach His Book to approx imately one hundred and fifty boys j and girls. We laugh when we hear of peo ple who do not know the difference between Calvary and cavalry, when we hear of those who guess that the Epiatles were the wives of the Apos ties and that Dan and Beersheba were brother and sister. How many there are who try to find the Gos pel of Matthew in the Old Testa ment and how many there are who look in the New Testament for the book of Malachi? It is pitiful. But think of the short time used in the Sunday schdbls for the teaching ajf God's Word?only 26 hours a year if every Sunday is used. And think of how careless we are about teach ing the Bible in our homes. So you see what a wise thing it is to spend at least ten days, at the close of our day school, to better acquaint our boys and girls, the church of tomor row. with the Book of the God We can never have a complete pro gram of defense without adhering to what .Moses said centuries ago. "Ye | shall not go aftt-r other gods Ye shall keep the commandments of the Lord, your God, that it may be well with you." (Deuteronomy 6 should |be read here.) "And thou shalt teach |them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest in the way, and when thou ! best down, and when thou risest up." Our democracy is founded on the principles of the New Testament. We | will actually fail our children if we do not. by precept and example, in still within their minds and hearts the truth that endureth to all gen erations Our children should know something about The Book: they ought to Know The"Book; and they ought to know the God of the Book. About the God of the Book we shall say more next week. * MOTHER S DAY By PRESTON CAYTON, Christian Disciple Minister Each year we set aside a day lor mother, which is called Mother's Day On this day we pay our tribute to the mothers of America. One may marry several times, he may have a number of children, but I will never have but one mother. That mother is usually characterized by this sacrificial love. May we ask the question, What is hofne without mo ther? Most great men haVe paid a tribute to the sacrificial love of their ! mother. James Garfield said. "All | that I am. I owe Id my dear mother. . who taught me to pray and live a j clean life." Saint Paul writes, I "Wherefore 1 call to remembrance j the unfeigned faith that is in thee, j which dwell fir t in thy grandmoth er. Lois, and thy mother. Eunice, and j I am persuaded in thee also." Many j men who haVe refused to yield in ! religious services, have found their 1 God through the prayers of their j mother. Jesus on the cross. Covered with 1 blood, a crown on his head, nails in! his hands and feet, in pain, he did not forget his mother He left her in the care of John. Yt s. she Went all the way with Jesus, even to the cross. Someone has said. s*Thr great est word is Cod, the deepest word is Soul, the longest word is Eternity, the sw iftest word is Time, the dark est word is Sin, the meanest word is Hypocrisy, the nearest word is Now, the broadest word is Truth, the strongest word is Right, the tender est word is Love, the sweetest word ; is home, the dearest word is Mother." : Mothers of America, we honor you 1 today, and each day in the year. Yon ; have played your part in making Am erica great. A University of Texas engineer I has announced a perfected process for "quick-freezing" food cheaper. ! faster, and with more flexibility than | frosting methods now in use.
