Every-Day Life In England Described By Native Recently Square Miles of Property Are Laid Waste in the Heart Of London ? Visiting in this country not so long ago, Mrs. L. K. Elmhirst, ot Totnes, England, vividly described the problems of every-day life back home. The third in her descriptive ser ies follows: Morale Often I used to ask myself, "How can the people, month after month, go on living as they do, sleeping ev ery night in their clothes, coming out in the morning to find no water in their part of London, no gas, per haps no home at all, and, in addition to the physical hardship, bearing the heavy weight of anxiety for those they love?the anxiety that never lets up. What is it that keeps their hearts high and their courage un daunted?" And I came to feel that perhaps there are four factors in the situation that helped to make up the answer. The first, of course, is the leader ship of Winston Churchill which has been an incalculable strength The second is difficult to describe It is strength of another kind that comes from the unity of people who go through great tribulation togeth er. At such a time new power is bom through companionship. Peo ple discover in themselves and in their friends new qualities that they did not know existed before. To gether they support, sustain and re new one another. Each knows that he will never let down his friend and that his friend will never let him down. The competitive element in life seems to disappear altogeth er and something sweeps in to take its place?the intense desire to help one another. You cannot come into contact with a group of people who have been through great danger and privation together without feeling at once a sense of oneness that lifts the heart of all those who exper ience it. It is perhaps one of the happiest experiences that human be ings can ever know. The third factor whien has en abled English people to go through great hardship with a high heart is a quality in themselves which is pe ;e Sr best Buy tNRyi! m* ZA Straight Rya WMakay * C FULL PINT *1.80 FULL QUART ?

The Englishman, as you know, has always appeared to be a rather casual person, easy-go ing, indifferent, never showing much interest in anything, nor much en thusiasm, and apparently never tak-.j ing anything seriously. And always, he is given to understatement. These qualities, of course, can be a great weakness but in times of emergency they are also a great strength. They are evidence of a balanced tempera ment. In moments of great stress the average Englishman will remain cool and collected, he will crack jokes and he will always understate his own difficulties. Anyone today who talks too much about his mis fortunes is known as a "bomb bore". Any one is careful to avoid these individuals and not to fall into the same category oneself. I remember my own experience after a rather bad night. I was eager to tell my story to everyone I saw the; follow ing day but the first person who came into my room the next morn ing took the wind out of my sails by saying in a very casual offhand way, "It was a bit noisy last night, wasn't it?" That was all. After that I could not toll my story and I didn't want YOU SAVE MONEY.. Sinclair Motor Oils/zr// Omrrhkkd 1940 Or SimrUir H./U,in, Cm.) Agont Sinclair Roflning Company (Inc.) N. C.

And everywhere throughout London this became the current phrase. Even - though your street might have been demolished you would only say "Yes, it was rather noisy," or "He gave us a packet last night." Nothing more than this. And in the shelters when the bombers were overhead you would see the people shrtig their shoulders and say, in a half-bored way, "Oh, there is Jerry again"?Jerry being a term for the raiders, half humorous, half derisive, showing that one did not take them too seriously. Every day one would hear stories that would il lustrate this quality of understate ment and humor. Rescue squads who had been working for hours to reach a man buried under his house, not knowing if they would find him alive, finally reached him and brought him out. His only comment was "Thank you, I had a little dust in my eyes." And today, everywhere you go in London, you will see signs and notices written up to make you laugh?written up over the ruins. A "Barber shop which had been badly battered put out a sign saying "Close Shave." And in another place, where a determined lady had put up a no tice over her dilapidated shop win dow "Open As Usual," someone had come along and put a sign up next door where a shop had once stood but where nothing now remained, saying, "More Open Than Usual."' And so it is everywhere in London. And one knows that the spirit which can laugh at disaster is the spirit that will never go down to defeat. The fourth factor is perhaps the most important of all. It is the sense that this war is different from any war in the past. We know in England that this is not a war for territory, "for agrandizement, nor for Empire. People in England feel instinctive ly that it is a kind of ultimate strug gle between two ways of life, be tween two types of civilization, be tween the slave peoples of the world Farmers To Receive Wheat Market Cards North Carolina wheat producers soon will receive marketing quota cards for selling their 1942 crop, it was announced today by E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive assistant at N. C. State College. AAA offices in wheat producing counties have received instructions for distributing cards to those grow ers who have complied with provi ;ions of the marketing quota law, and these cards should be in the hands of farmers within a few days, he said. Marketing provisions this year re main substantially the same as last year. Wheat producers may market without penalty the actual or norm al yield from their allotted acreage. Excess wheat, unless stored under bond, is subject to a penalty of 57 cents per bushel, which is one-half of the national average loan rate, as provided by law. Marketing quo tas were approved by the nation's wheat farmers in a referendum held May 2nd. As a move to conserve tires and gasoline, fanners this year will be permitted to obtain their marketing cards by mail. Mr Floyd pointed out. Instructions have been sent to coun ty AAA offices, and fin ma fui tli procedure will be forwarded to | wheat producers. In view of the large surplus of wheat on hand, Mr. Floyd said, both | farm and elevator storage will be available to producers of the state this year. Details of the storage plan! now are being worked out, and will | he announced at an early date. Wheat produced under provisions of the AAA program may be stored in government-approved warehouses or farm storage bins and the produc er is eligible for a loan of $1.37 per and the free. It is a great civil war | which engulfs the whole world, be tween the forces of democracy who respect and believe in the individ ual, and the forces of dictatorship who believe in power for themselves and in the enslavement of human beings. We realize that all the values of life which are d< ar to us, the free dom of the human spirit, the whole structure of democracy based on justice, law, tolerance, mercy, trust and all the humanitarian virtues, are in danger, perhaps for the first time, of being completely extinguished should Hitler win the war. For we know now that Hitler is determined to rule and govern the entire world. And in his world there would be no place for our values of life. We feel, moreover, that we have reached perhaps the end of a certain period in history, and that at such a time we are doomed to these terri ble convulsions and cataclysms be cause we put up so much resistance to moving into the next pattern of history. Perhaps we are at the end of a period that we might call com petitive nationalism, in which the whole world is broken up into sov ereign competing states, and that unless we can move into a great uni fication of the world we are doomed to disaster. Must the world be united only under a dictator or can it be united under a more democratic, more international order? How can ? we avoi4 this choice? Perhaps this j is the greatest moral crisis that man- J kind has ever faced and a choice which no man and no nation can re fuse to make. Finally, we have felt in Britain that we were not fighting for Britain alone. My eldest son, who has been in the RAF since the beginning of the war, had to fly the other day over a city in Holland, so low that he could see people in the street. He could see the change that came over them when they realized that this was an English plane?how they looked up to him and raised their arms in sup plication -4?s he flew over. And con tinuously men are escaping from Norway and other countries and coming across to England in little i boats. They come always with the| same story?with the story of what has happened to their own countries ?a story of such cruelty and horror that sometimes, in self-protection, the human mind refuses to take it in. They always say the same thing ?they say "You must save us. We have come to fight with you. You must deliver us from the body of this death. For our life today is only a death for us." And so we feel that we have been fighting right along to release enslaved people all over the world and to maintain still in the world the democratic values of life which are more dear to us than life itself. Grow Nitrogen With Interplanted Crops Here's a suggestion from a group of North Carolina farmers, passed along to other Tar Heel farmers by E. R Collins, Extension Service agronomy leader of N. C. State Col lege: Velvet beans and cow peas inter-1 planted with corn will "grow nitro-1 gen" this summer to overcome the | war-time shortage of nitrates which j is almost certain to become more I serious by 1943. Where the vegeta tion from these two legumes is turn- I ed back into the soil, the nitrogen I equivalent of the velvet beans or cow peas will bo about 250 to 300 pounds of nitrate of soda per ton of vegetation. Dr. Collins reports that there are several thousand bushels of cow pea seed, and a considerable amount of velvet bean seed, for sale in the state. Forward-looking farmers have been buying these seeds to inter plant in their corn. The Extension agronomist says velvet beans can be planted in the corn when the corn is knee high. Velvet beans vary considerably in their percentage of germination from year to year, and it usually is wise to have a germination test made on the seed by the State Seed Labora | tory in Raleigh. Usually, however, | velvet beans are planted three to four feet apart in the row. Where the germination is low, it is neccs Isary to plant at a higher rate or | space closer in the row. Cow peas can be sown down the row at the rate of approximately a peck per acre just before laying by the corn. The cow peas can be pick ed next fall and used as food for home consumption. Both the cow peas and the velvet beans planted in i the corn will increase the grazing I value of the land next fall. ^ Visits in Wilmington Miss Lorone Weaver spent the week-end in Wilmington with friends. bushel for No. 2 wheat. Lower rates will prevail for corresponding low er grades. North Carolina's loan rate I is higher than the national average, | Mr. Floyd said, because of a freight I differential. The loans are available J through December 31, 1942, and will mature on demand, but not later than I April 30, 1942. I W = Cited for Heroism C. P. Phonrphoto Lieut. lister O.
