Address all communications to The Enterprise and not individual members of the firm. Friday, September 18. 1912. Confirmed The seriousness of the rubber shortage in this :ountry has been definitely confirmed by an mpartial and able investigating committee leaded by Bernard Baruch of World War I lame. What Harold Ickes warned the nation ibout well over a year ago is brought to the ight again, possibly with the situation more iggravated now than it was when Mr. Ickes ;ailed upon the American people to act vol jntarily in behalf of the defense and safety )f their nation and themselves. Now that the situation has been confirmed ind the seriousness of the rubber shortage is - iounded beyond all doubt, it will be interesting ;o note the reaction that is to follow. Those jersons, including some smart guys on the gov ;rnment pay roll, who insisted that the gas ind tire rationing orpgram was a farce have leen discredited by a recognized committee. Vow, it,is time for everyone to recognize the seriousness of the situation and act according y, and stop grumbling. It has been pointed out that the reckless use )f America's rubber supplies is adding months ,o the length of the war, meaning that if we .nsist on our driving pleasure and trips that we really do not have to make, we will have to pay in sweat and tears at some later date. Through friendly insistence, quite a few Mar itn County citizens have-reduced their mileage :onsiderably, and already they are recognizing teh wisdom in such a policy. A bit angered when the special committee insisted on allowing him less than half the gas he demanded, a Martin County citizen came back just a few days ago to tahnk the committee for its good advice. He pointed out that several emergency trips had to eb made, that if he had maintained his old schedule his tires would have hardly permit ted the use of his car in making those vitally necessary trips. It will be a sad time in this county and nation if every vehicle operator fails to wake up to the seriousness of the situation now, and voluntarily looks to the future. It may never come, but should the people along the coast find it necessary to evacuate, CAN ui PLAN FOODS Mi MEALS EM NUTRITIONAL FOOD THE GOOD old Ameri- sJuUfl can custom of putting up food for the Winter is being practiced throughout the land this Summer and this Au tumn. No doubt you, too, will be filling your pantry shelves while orchard and field crops are plentiful. That is "Patriotic Hoarding" and we must not forget that the home-front army also travels on its stomach. We must not forget, either, that it is wasteful to attempt to can fruits and vegetables by improper methods. We must conserve sugar by using substitutes when possible. Our Home Economists will gladly provide you with many can ning suggestions incorporating sugar substitutes .. . and some berries can be put up in natural juices without sugar. Vend la a munition of war. Cook it right. Can it right VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY will they have enough gas and sufficient tires to haul them to safety? No emergency may nev er present itself, but what will the vehicle own or do should he find it necessary to make a -trip when such a trip may mean life or death and he learns too late that he has worn out his tires plesaure riding or going places where it was not necessary for him to go? Let us remember that if we don't act and act quickly to relieve the situation by individual conservation that we can expect a complete collapse of our transportation system. The Bar uch committee stated that only one out of ev ery eight tires needed is being replaced. If the vehicle owner wastes his tires, he will have only himself to blame if he can't get another. A Word Of Encouragement Even in a world of wanton destruction, Don ald Nelson, chief of this nations' War Produc tion Board, digs down deep to offer encourage ment in the following statement: This war economy is a completely abnormal situation; it is also a completely temporary sit uation. There will come a day when this stu pendous production of military goods is no longer necessary. The gigantic factories which now work night and day to turn out implements of death and destruction will eventually ex haust their markets. What happens then? The answer to that question is up to us. You can conjure up a nightmare for yourself if you choose, of course. You can imagine that all of this activity will just stop, overnight; that the men woh are now so busy will fall into idle ness; that the marvelous strength and energy which are now being used so fully will some how be dissipated; that the Nation which so brilliantly found the way to produce for de struction will be utterly baffled by the prob lem of producing for peace. You can grow de spondent thinking about the terrible slump that will bring our economy down about our ears after the war. But I do not for a minute believe that any thing of the kind will happen. We shall have no one to blame but ourselves if it does. Must we be so stupid as to throw away the skill, the resources, and the strength which we have now developed? Can't we do anything with this magnificent machine that we have harnessed for our service? Of course we can do something with it . . . For a generation we have been living on the edge of a new world; we are only now beginning to realize it. For the first time in the history of th$'hu man race there can be enough of everything to go around. Poverty is not inevitable any more. The sum total of the world's greatest pos sible output of goods divided by the sum total of the world's inhabitants no longer means a little less than enough for everybody. It means more than enough. The possibilities in that sim ple statement are beyond calculation?and what we are fighting for is the right to turn some of those possibilities into realities. #'resident Roosevelt Says: Justice, mercy and truth are all under at tack by totalitarianism .which outrages the in herent dignity of human personality. Only in union shall we find strength to combat the menace which threatens free people every where- the tyranny of force over the lives and consciences of men.

Ef a jack-ax gits to jumpin ther fence twell you haves to hobble 'im for a spell and git 'im to grazin peaceful-lak, hadnt you better still keep your eye-peepers pun 'im after he gits his free-range agin? Now I Bint a-sayin that Genater George of Georgy is a jack-ax; I'm a-sayin he's a brainy man. But ther money-changers in ther temple was brainy men, too, and that shows that all brains dont run in rightous chan nels; and brains that runs against Democracy with a big D, and favors Greed with a big G, air jined up with ther on-holy. Way back that time when I was to Barnsville and heered Mr Roosevelt tell ther Georgy voters that ef thay still wanted 'im to put over ther New Deal lak thay had lected him and his platform to do, then thay had better send in a Senater that would hep 'im steer ther old leaky bottom thru ther rough waters of ther richy-rock seas, cause Senater George want heppin to set no sails necessary to make ther proper tack. He didnt give ther vot ers no orders to do no shacklin, but he did tell 'em thai sum shacklin was in order ef thay wanted sum respects paid to thay fences. But thay sont ther same Senater back; and now that same Senater is ad-vercatin a war-sales-tax to be carried on ther backs of them same Georgy voters, many of 'em farmers that was sellin 30 pound water melons that year for 2c at ther track, after haulin 'em 10 to 20 miles on a 1000 dollar truck with 25c gas. All bercaus ther Greed Grabbers now wants sum re-lief on thay milyun-dollar incums. In Rocky Mount Thursday Mrs. R. A. Critcher visited Rocky Mount Thursday. IN MEMORIAM In memory of my sister, Janetta Corey, who died September 20, 1941. A year ago told, Jesus took you away; Where there's no sorrow, Heartache nor pain.

Our dear father and the good stepmother. Your Father will a kingdom give, And give it with delight; ' His feeblest child his love shall call To triumph in his sight Written by Mrs. Eugene Roberaon.
