An Indominahle Spirit Speaking before a joint session of the Min ,esota Legislature a short time ago, Wilhelm lorgenstierne, Minister of Norway, told of the ndominable spirit among his people to carry n under the iron heel of Hitler. That spirit las a greater meaning than many of us believe, or it is such a spirit that will check Hitler and estore peace to the world The question is. How ong will it take for that spirit to permeate the irorld? Is it possible that we in America will lave to taste the bitter oppression of an aggres or before we come out of our lethargy and acf The Minister says, in part: Peaceful, progressive, friendly Norway, ar ve knew it, as the world knew it a year ago, md Norway today under the iron heel of the Jazis. This is the new order, not an abstraction, not i blueprint, but the new order in deadly prac ice To anybody with ears to hear and eyes tn ee, it is plainly and blatantly a return to dark, >arbaric ages. With these facts in our minds and hearts ev ?ry waking hour, it will be appreciated, I am lire, how difficult it is for us Norwegians to inderstand the contention that there is no llfference between the methods and the aims >f the nations oppoaed to each other in this vai The contention that it is immaterial whe her the intruder kills his victim or vice versa. wish that any person so thinking might see vith his own eyes the work of destruction now ming on in Horway, the distress of the people, md hear the heart-breaking cries of those inno *nt men and women who are being tortured >y the Gestapo. Against these things, against the enemy which woke into* our country and is now trying with ippalling nithlessness to reduce the Norwegian jeople to the'level of nazidom, we are now fight ng with bitter determination on several fronts rhere is the military front to which I referred. Phen there is the home front?the magnificent, most silent, but extremely effective struggle ,f resistance which a practically united Nor wegian people are today waging against the itrongly entrenched invader. Every day mes ?ages from the other side unfold a story of how national calamity and common hatred of op pression have brought forth a stronger, finer ind more united Norwegian people than erer before It is as if the overhanging threat of los ing our country, our freedom, and all that we hold dear, has stirred the people as they were never stirred before and has created a nation al unit, a common purpose, and an almost fierce love of country, which confounds the enemy, and in the end will thwart his designs on our freedom. There has come to the surface reserves of strength, courage, and a spirit of sacrifice which in days of peace and plenty must have lain dormant deep in the soul of the Norweg ian people. On the fronts mentioned all true Norwegians are today fighting as one man for our irreduci ble war aims. But in order to make secure the future for our own as well as for other freedom-loving peo ples. we have this additional war aim: To join with our friends and allies in muzzling perma nently the aggressors which for some time have been running amuck in the world, challenging the peace, freedom, and very existence of civ ilized peoples. We deeply believe that the world cannot and will not remain half slave, half free. I sometimes wonder whether, in spite of all, we yet quite realize the extent, the deathly ser iousness of the threat facing the civilized world today. Nazi Germany has been trying to tell the world that all these countries have joined the New Order. But what is the fact? Not one of them has willingly joined it. They are held by force, every one of them. They will use the very first opportunity to throw off the yoke of their hated temporary masters. And that opportun ity will come perhaps sooner than we now think. As an indication of what the subjugated people think and feel, take what happened a few weeks ago at Lofoten Islands. When given a chance to get away and to join King Haakon and his free Norwegians in England, the young men of the island, more than 300 of them, with out a moment's hesitation, grasped the oppor tunity. The same thing would happen in other countries under German domination. The peo ple burn to escape and join Britain in the fight against those who raped their countries and stole "their freedom and happiness. Thank God, under the epic leadership of Great Britain, the civilized world is gradually rallying to the defense of fair dealing and de cency between men and nations. Slowly but surely the democracies, the freedom-loving peo ples of (he world .have awakened to the tre mendous issue at stake?the biggest and most far-reaching for which any war in the history of mankind has been fought: the issue of whe ther to be forced back unredeemably to barbar ism and darkness or regain the foothold and take up once more the forward march of hu manity toward a fuller life. The people of Norway refuse to associate the future with totalitarian dictatorships. From their cruel bondage, under the heel of our tem porary masters, they defiantly profess their un dying faith in the words and the example of the man who said: "God must have loved the common people, he made so many of them." We believe that when the present appalling night mare of man's inhumanity to man has passed by, the world shall once more revert to the spir it expressed in the beautiful words of the pro phet of old: "To do justice, to love mercy, to walk humbly with thy God." One And The Same Alan Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes rates Justice Hugo Black as one of the most conscien tious jurists 011 the federal bench and one pos sessing the keenest of analutical minds. Justice Black, it will be recalled, is the one and same man who the "smart" press and New Deal haters dubbed as a nit-wit, a man of in ferior mental qualities and the like. Somewhere along the line, the American pub lic has been misled. Could it be that a press, controlled by anti-New Dealers and still claim ing to be free, had anything to do with the bombardment of Mr. Black as he moved from the Senate to the Court? Sometimes it would seem that the press of this country is free to exploit but not free to correctly inform the oeo ple. Bad Road$ To Bad! and ? Chariot!* Ob**rv*r. South of the Potomac river are the badlands of traffic safety, so called by Rear Admiral Per cy W. Foote, retired, who was formerly com missioner of Pennsylvania Motor Police. The further south one goes the worse the lands North Carolina is 42nd in the list of states sc far as safe driving is concerned. Thfcre is no point in becoming indignant ov er such a statement. It is made by a native ol North Carolina and is not Yankee propaganda We should be the first to admit it. All that is necessary to prove it is to read the papers day by day, especially on Mondays. There are thf facts about the carnage, the dead and injured the maimed and the crippled. It is not a question of safe highways; we havt them. The car wrecks occur on the broad, well paved roads. What is the trouble? Are we sim ply silly, half-witted when we get behind th< wheel of a car, disregarding every safety ruli and throwing to the winds the rules of courtesy and consideration for others? irWho enviable distinction,TxdrTg~42nd amonj 48 in the matter of highway safety. No state ha: too good a record and we are near the bottom Only six others keep us from being at the bot torn. Many people roundly denounce "Tobacci Road" as a libel on the South. What about Mur der Road and Suicide Road and Accident Road leading to the Badlands? "EVERYBODY HAS TO MAKE SACRIFICES' <**?0 WHO \ fSSS?? // ? V v. ^ Electric llotheds (ruiniii" In Favor Electricity, ik?v\ performing an in creasing number of tasks about the form, is finding favor among pro gressive growers in treating hotbeds, according to I) E Jones, rural electrification specialist of N C State College. Farmers who have used the elec tric hotbeds say they are belter than the old stable compost bed because the plants grow faster This means that the plants are younger when they attain a size sufficient for trans planting .a desirable factor in truck farming Another advantage' of the electric hotbed. Jones said, is that the in stallation may. be made permanent and that the temperature may be maintained and regulated automa tically to the needs of the particular plants being grown. The feature permits the forced growth and early maturity of spring vegetables suited to hotbed plant ing. An electric hotbed will provide the family table with early spring vegetables arid aid the truck gar dener in meeting out-of-season com petition in the market. As the electric hotbed is perma nent. considerable labor is saved ev ery year, and the installation and operating cost compares favorably with other sources <?f heat During the past season, many growers with electrically-heated beds reported securing several times more plants than with the old manure bed. The fact that a great many more plants can be grown in a yard of the electric bed makes it posisble for the farmer to reduce the size of his plant bed. This means a saving in seed, labor, and fertilizer. The cost of op erating an electric hotbed will vary with power rates, the severity of the weather, the temperature of the soil and the construction <>f the plant bed.
